You read the title, you've likely seen the empty page - I'm vanishing for some time again.
The last time I did this, I said it was to detox from online stimuli. While that's partially true, I'll be open and say that I was generally not doing fantastic. Full transparency, I had bad intentions (you can guess the implication) and did not plan on continuing "Shake Well", but the time spent away helped me clear my head a bit and feel more inclined to create without any negativity.
Following this, I've had a significant increase in negative interactions online. You'd think it'd be easy to ignore the negatives when positives exist, but it's not. I'm reaching the point of wanting to do something bad again, and so I'm shutting everything down and walking away again. If things clear up and I find the motivation to keep being creative, then I'll be back (because I really did enjoy making baba content), but as of now online interactions have me depressed and unmotivated. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, there's a significant chance I won't return this year, and a smaller chance I won't return period (in which case I'll reupload everything before being done).
Those of you who have engaged with my stuff, you have my thanks. Hope you're doing well.

Wishing you the best, wherever you go; if you ever need someone to talk to, we're here for you.
(I'm Sorry to Here that.)
The Haters are the one that are always the loudest.
I just wish you well. Because making things as big and grand as the stuff you make is really hard to do and it's very obvious you put a lot of love and care into puzzles like these. And like I said before I always found your packs as something I want to strive for. Because making things take time and especially in days of ages like this people forget that when someone makes something they made it out of love and care and it took time. And on the internet people also forget that behind every post and thing that's madeThere's a human behind it that has feelings and cares.
(I really do hope you come back. I really want to see what you do with the COTC and what other silly amazing little packs you have made. Again, your work is incredible andI am so sad to hear thatSome people forget thatYou're human and need to take breaks from stuff sometimes. And if you do ever come back and post something. We'll promise you I will play it. And I'll probably love it as well.)
the internet can be real nasty sometimes! if you decide to never return as “shake well” (and we subsequently never get the chance to speak again), i want to say that it was nice getting to know you and i wish you the best of luck with wherever your life goes next ✌️
you definitely were my favourite ice equal participant so i was very worried when you disappeared. but i do get that the internet is a very evil place at times,and wanting to take a hiatus from it is entirely fair. knowing you're fine is all i need to know. i hope you'll be doing well following all this, may your plant forms guide you further <3
Damn, that must be rough
Just know that we’re all here to support you (we as in the baba community and the icely community and whatever else community)
Negative interactions always happen, sometimes more, sometimes less, but you need to focus on doing what you like, and on people that you like to spend time with
If you need some rest, thats ok and i understand you
hang in there <3 if you dont choose to return then that is absolutely fine, do what you need to do for you. wishing you the best <3
