Homestuck Nation, I fear I have let you down. I'm not going to get into all the specifics, and I've certainly made vent posts before, but my life was abruptly thrown into shambles in February 2024. I tried and failed for months to fix the situation, because it was all I could think about. If I'm being honest, it mostly still is. But this made it impossible to put energy into anything else. I was already behind before the Gigapause in the reread began, and since my life was a wreck last year I didn't have anything prepared in advance when it was time to post about [S] GAME OVER. So the past few weeks have been a feedback loop of me feeling guilty about not catching up, and avoiding it because the longer I wait the bigger the task becomes. I'm done making promises for my return to the reread, and I'm done pretending that how behind I am is an ignorable speed bump anymore. I have failed, but I know me, and I know I won't let myself skip ahead anymore. I am going to catch up from where I left off in 2023, and I am going to make the posts I need to make for pages that matter. It's the only way I'm going to feel like I've completed the project. I do not know how long this will take, or when I'll be able to push myself to start, but I fully intend to have my feet on the ground before the finish line comes up. Sorry again, and I'll do my best. In the meantime, I give the most heartfelt of props to @strong-zahhak, who has not only shown me enormous patience, but also picked up the project last month when it was clear I wasn't catching up. I would strongly encourage following!
