A statement regarding the current status of my music

After much thought and consideration regarding my current well-being and thoughts towards my musical works, I have decided to make the decision to put releasing on the EmeraldX project on hiatus. While I am not currently in a position to talk about specific reasons for this, I can mention that I am currently looking towards a much different direction to focus on in terms of how I make music and what I want to show to the world. Because of this, there is a lot of uncertainty, however, I can confirm that there will be no other releases for the remainder of the year.

I hope that when I am ready to return to making music, I will have a fresher outlook and much of of a unique sound to share. It will take time for me to create what exactly I want to hear, but I'm certain that what it will become will be something that both myself and others will resonate with.

I thank everyone who has stuck with me so far in my musical journey. I hope to return when I am ready. As for now, I will still be supporting others including many other musicians who deserve the spotlight.

-Emerald

Though if you're reading this, just go find some other furries who need more help than me. The ones who post about wanting to off themselves every two weeks or rant on how useless they think they are are really worth more of your time.

I'll get out of this funk. I always do.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 8h

I feel like I ultimately undersold the "okay" label that I mentioned earlier today. I actually have been feeling pretty awful, but venting about it online isn't going to do me any good. My creative projects, or really any of my hobbies, have been hard to resume.

Shit sucks, but it's whatever.

[Thread 2🧵]

Oh, I forgot to add on to this from this morning.

I don't want to talk about my music right now. I have no idea what will become of it or what direction I'll take it in exactly. It'll probably be longer than I expect to get anything released at this point. No details right now.

[Thread🧵]

I said last night that I'd talk about how I feel rn so here we go.

First off, I am doing okay for the most part, though I've been having some rather turbulent nights as of late. I don't think I've been feeling any different from when I stepped away from here this past week though.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 13h

Exactly why I wish there was a native version. I'll still hopefully try this method out if I can, but I wish it wasn't a pain the ass to set up FL on Linux in the first place.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 14h

I'll post more later, but right now I'm hungry as hell and need something to eat.

This should be all I have to say about my current wellness though.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 14h

As of now, I will likely push myself harder to limit my social media time drastically and not fall into scrolling habits like I often do. I have much to accomplish and prepare for both my irl and online tasks. Realistically, the more productive activities should be prioritized over passive lurking.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 14h

I think two things are for sure for me though:

-I don't be motivated to visit here as actively.
-I really, really need to spend the next day or two setting up a more curated experience with lists and muted words.

For every day that passes, this platform becomes more Twitter-like.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 14h

As for my presence here, I've thought it over and decided not to leave just yet. There's too many people to support over here who make the platform enjoyable. Plus, despite everything, Bluesky is still the lesser of evils somehow.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 14h

Part of this could be attributed to the fact that I pretty much failed at my social media detox. I replaced Bluesky habits with Reddit, and for what started out as brief checkups became long session usage.

My admittedly lack of initiative likely fucked me over these past few days.

Hm. Neat. I'll bookmark this for future use. My current irl situation prevents me from doing anything Linux related right now though, so I'll wait to have until the end of the year to really do anything.

But, nevertheless, thanks a ton

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 15h

Tried that and it fucked up my computer multiple times.

Really though, pressure Image-Line to make a native Linux version and it solve about 80% of my current roadblocks.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 15h

Next to near impossible for me. Sorry :P

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 1d

Fuck, wish you all the best*

I tried to sound wordy and I messed up the phrase.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 1d

You're not alone in this feeling, I am too. Wishing you all but the best right now.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 1d

Hi, I'm alive.

Since I couldn't resist and scrolled for about 10 minutes here already, I feel that I should say something now. The social media detox™ has not worked very well this week. I feel less shit but not refreshed.

I don't feel like going over it tonight, so I'll explain more tomorrow.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 10d

I've been thinking about this as well. My existence as a queer furry in this place would already spite the bitch in charge of this place, so what better choice than to occupy their turf out of spite?

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

This might be the biggest news I've heard all night.

Luigi’s Sidekick @luigisidekick.bsky.social · 11d

I’ve also now learned that Lubba is a woman

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

Ahhhh okay. Thank you for clarifying. I genuinely didn't know that was the outcome, but that sucks for all the confusion.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

I'm not sure if we're thinking of the same rumors. Is it the one about the entire staff being into cub porn, because that's the one I heard.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

Cohost had the best format of any of the social medias I've been on, but if the rumors I've heard about what the owners of the site were into are true, then I still would have wanted nothing from it.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

Microblogging sucks.

I really wish I didn't have to keep limiting myself to 300 characters for everything I say, but somehow this is the format everyone wants to I keep myself here out of obligation.

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

I've been struggling myself as well, so I understand the feeling. I'm sure you're doing the best you can, and you have several people that have your back.
