I'll say here what I said in the LitW chat; I think all of us are -indeed a bit shook- right now for one reason or another. Condolences to the Holowka family. Scott and Beth, take whatever time you need. Can't think of a fandom less deserving too.

To anyone struggling right now with recent events, take whatever time you need to mull it over, but if you're a fan of NitW looking for the exit, lemmy just say this--

Take a cue from Mae.

To paraphrase, none of you asked for any of this and none of this was any of you guys' fault.

Everything and anything you attached to in this game and characters you latched onto within is still valid and important despite what's happened behind the scenes. NitW was never just about the creators and their drama it was about what we collectively gained and experienced from it.

That may be kinda rambly and cheesy, I guess I say it more or less for anyone severely affected by all this, developer or not, whoever needs to hear it. When it's time, I'm still gonna give Born 2 Lose all my guts, and I hope other fan endeavors , art, fic, or otherwise don't have to end too. TBH, I think we kinda need 'em more than ever right now.

I'm pretty sure by this point this fandom needs anything and everything it can get to ease the blow, or at least distract from left and right concerning news, which is a long-winded way of saying carry on, I guess.

And if any of you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or any kind of self harming thoughts or mental health, do your best to learn from this and -seek help-. Because it's out there.

You're not alone.

We'll make it past this.
