And I feel fine.

Well shit. We're here at the end of it. I don't know if I have a lot to say. Certainly not anything deeply profound, and nothing that hasn't been said better by so many of the people I follow and look up to.
I'm a small account even by cohost standards, and I was never much of a choster, or even rechoster.
But.
This is maybe the only webbed site where I can confidently say I actually enjoyed just being a small part of the ecosystem. It's the first place I debuted my authentic self, and that means something to me.
I'm gonna miss this site. It was undeniably flawed, but also undeniably special. And as someone who kinda missed the kinder internet when I was younger, it's left a mark on me that has me hungry to see what it could look like in the modern age.

Cohost, ultimately, was a success, and we're all gonna carry a little bit of eggbug with us moving forward.

Speaking of moving forward, if anyone wants to be able to keep in touch with me after the lights go out, here's where you can do that. I'll be pinning this and adding the links to my bio, too.

Tumblr (This is where I'm most active by far): https://www.tumblr.com/slugbunny
Twitter (occasional textposts and reposting): https://x.com/Slug_a_bunny
Dreamwidth (Honestly kinda barren, but it'd feel remiss not to add it.): https://lunarabbit.dreamwidth.org/

And... That's about it, I think.
So long, cohost. And thanks for all the fish. 💙

Hi there everyone! I've got some big news!
I'm officially opening commissions! I don't know how many I'll be willing to take at once, but I'll be keeping tabs on whether or not slots are open in my bio!
I'm just getting started with this, so please be patient with me!

This is it.
I don't think I have it in me to watch the stars go out, so.
Goodnight, Cohost.
To quote one of my favorite games.

Spin Free. Spin Fast. Spin True.

Good luck, everyone. The Stars Await.

Support weird, small independent artists and businesses. Go to your local bookstore instead of Amazon. See low-budget films made by folks in your city instead of hundred-million dollar superhero movies. Play video games that are only available on itch.io. Find a hyperspecific microgenre on Bandcamp to get really into instead of streaming the same three albums on spotify. Do or watch community theater. Use a small social media platform or forum instead of selling your data to another tech billionaire.

You'll probably end up spending more money for something less polished but it's in that lack of polish that you find humanity. It's the cashier who tells you they like the band on your shirt when you pay for your books. It's the surprise Q&A with the director at your local genre film festival. It's the game dev who tells you how touched they are at the review you left on their latest passion project. It's finding the folks who are as weird as you are about the same weird stuff online.

It might not work, that site might might go under, your new favorite show might get canceled after one season or you might end up feeling like you wasted fifteen dollars and two hours of your life. But you'll still feel like you saw something someone wanted to make, like you did more than give a corporation yet more money. Like you took a chance on someone or something that wasn't going to get it otherwise. And you'll meet other people like you along the way.

But you gotta try and you gotta do it for you. You gotta go into the world and experience life and art instead of staying secluded and consuming content.
