Beware of long and overly dramatic rant below. Read at your own discretion.
This is an official announcement of my hiatus from youtube. At the current juncture, I feel like leaving entirely, but I don’t want to be the boy who cried wolf, so I will just say hiatus and go from there.
The reasons I have for leaving are countless, but I feel that I owe an explanation, so I will do my best to convey my sentiments. I feel distant, irrelevant, and as though I am no longer truly a part of the Non/Disney editing community. The landscape of the editing world has changed, and I am afraid I’ve been unable to change with it. I’ve seen so many talented editors make their way into this community for the past six years, and while I appreciate all of them, I have noticed a lack of the “old-fashioned” editing style that I joined youtube for and came to love above all.
I truly am glad that so many people have found a hobby and a passion for crossover editing, and I honestly admire that community and your talents so much. You’ve inspired me to find a crossover I actually enjoyed creating and editing with Hiccup/Elsa, and I am thankful for all you have unintentionally taught me. That being said, I do feel out of my element when very few, if any, editors seem to practice or appreciate editing canon, lyric-based fan videos anymore. I know; I’m old and living in the past. But that’s part of why I feel I’m no longer meant to be here.
The editors themselves have also changed. I’ve been here for years, seen the “original” Disney editors move on; witnessed the “everyone needs to own their own MEP group” era; the Taboo Wars; the roleplay revolution; and now the crossover fandom explosion. It’s been a crazy adventure, and I’ve for the most part enjoyed watching it all happen. But so many people have come and gone, and I’ve made a few friends that I consider to be very real, but I’ve also been disappointed by some. As stressful as my real life is right now, I don’t feel that I need youtube drama bleeding into my already-hectic schedule. I’m sure none of it has been intentional, but I just don’t feel that I can handle it anymore.
And, finally, I am just older than most, and I find it hard to make friends and truly relate to the new editors who are sometimes half my age. We’re at very different parts of our lives, and I feel that I need to move on with mine. This has been an amazing journey (so far?), and I do enjoy editing to take my mind off of the stresses of life. But lately, youtube itself has been adding to the anxieties I already had. I need to distance myself from this hobby in order to better find myself and get where I want to be. It has become less of a hobby and more of a distraction as of late, and I need to draw the line myself.
All of this dramatic nonsense being said, I don’t want to alarm anyone (if there is anyone to alarm). I still plan on finishing the things I’ve started. The two contests I’m involved in (GMC – sorry for the lull in activity there; I take full responsibility for that and hope to get back in the swing of things soon. I have been, as I said, bogged down with responsibilities that have prevented me from continuing that for awhile); some collabs I’ve promised, and anything else I’ve previously committed to, I do plan to finish. So there are still things to come. I just can’t promise when they will come.
I don’t feel that anyone will be truly upset by this bit of news; I don’t have any active fandoms anymore, and despite my personal gratitude for the thousands of subscribers I’ve garnered, I’ve never felt as though I were a “popular” editor, so to speak. I just was able to snowball slowly over the years, and I’m truly grateful to anyone who has followed me thus far.
Again, this is officially just a hiatus, and it could be extended or brief. I just haven’t had time, inspiration or energy to edit lately, and I felt I owed you all some kind of explanation. If you have any questions, I will answer your comments!
