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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Three quarters of the year done. Extended write-up

With Q3 2025 basically wrapped up, it’s hard to put into words how I feel without also saying anything too personal regarding my offline life. Needless to say, it’s apparent that anything along the lines of getting more of my projects done has not worked out this year much at all. As with where I was at the end of June, I really have nothing to talk about in regards to progress on projects, and if anything, I don’t want to manifest any horrible luck with me losing motivation to complete them altogether.

As a whole, my life is still on a decent track, but as of recent, I have not been feeling well at all. For reasons I do not feel comfortable getting into, all I can say is that it is challenges I’ll have to face head on with the help of others who of which I plan to reach out to. I have not been feeling my 100%, which in turn has affected my output for any kind of creative projects. I’m not sure if I’m currently going through a sad seasonal slump or if this is a long-term feeling. Nevertheless, I’m working outside of the internet to be a service to myself and get better.

Throughout the year, I’ve talked about projects outside of music, be it blogging, videos, or whatever I’ve talked about before. These, obviously, have not come into fruition, and I feel that some of them will just not be unless I put more time into making them a reality. The videos come into mind for something like this. I have no idea if any of these will be finished by the end of the year. Obviously, if I had the time, I would have had them done by now, or I’d magically have the ability to be a master at, like, site building or something. They’re not done, though, and I have no idea which ones will be a 2026 plan or not.

I feel like I relax too much without actually relaxing. There’s always something to be done, yet taking a break or trying to reset myself reminds me of how much progress there is to be made or whatever. Everything is a goal, a lot of things are a grind, most things need to be evaluated. I guess that’s how I operate when I work and consume media. I don’t find the mindset destructive to me yet, if at all, but I do wish I could get my body to take a break, or relax tension.

I have no idea what will happen for this last quarter of the year for me. I’m attempting a new system for my hobbies and how to be efficient without burning out. I hope it works, because honestly, this year has been tougher than I’ve wanted it to be, and I don’t want anything to be screwy to end off the year.

Man, though, I don’t know what else to write. Let’s just head into the last part of the year head high.

Have a good day.

I think I know what my favorite VRchat world is now

Above him are two leaderboards, one for exp level, showing that the player EmeraldX has reached the max level, and a board for highest point count of a fish caught, showing that EmeraldX fished up a 295.16 point fish.

Oh I see now. Thanks for clarifying. I had just hoped I didn't offend you because you're honestly one of my favorite furries in this community and I really appreciate the insight you give from your writings.

Oh. Well, this was the interaction.

I had figured it had left some sort of impact based on this paragraph of the blog post but I must have been mistaken if you forgot about it.

EmeraldX: Oh yeah, fantastic tech on fedi. Too bad nobody that likes up with my hobbies is actually there and the userbase that exists is rather hostile.
Soatok: The only way to fight network effects is to start with yourself
EmeraldX: Not on the Linux of social media for me
Soatok: cool story

Whenever I bring up the importance of decentralization, I'm almost always greeted with an eye-roll or someone describing Mastodon as "Linux for posting" (a thought-terminating cliche if I've ever heard one).

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

I don't know

EmeraldX 🐱 @emeraldxmusic.com · 11d

I really don't like Mastodon (I think Soatok might be mad at me for criticizing it directly to him before based on being alluded to in that blog post), but I wouldn't be lying if I said that there's a shot I go back to it.

If anything interests me nowadays, it's the other decentralized platforms.

This past weekend was not a good one for me. I want to move away from it and continue on hoping for a better week to make up for the legitimate pain I experienced, but it doesn't take away what happened.

Just going to do my best.
