I've been debating for a while whether or not to post this, but I need to put my own mental health first.
So here it is.
Vi is *not* real.
I know most of you have common sense and know this, but it bears repeating. Vi is a fictional character to be the embodiment of a safe space for sapphics online. She only exists within the confines of the audios written by the voice actress.
This has always been the case. It is so that *I*, the voice actress and author of the original audios, can have a separate life outside of this. I want to be able to choose to play the character when I want to, much like actors in a play. I have had some truly disgusting behavior shown to me from people that continue to disrespect that basic human right that is my own.
I know this won't really deter those people, but I'm writing this so no one can ever say I was never up front about this. Vi is a character, the voice actress is a person who wants to keep their life separate from that character's world.
I began this channel as a safe space, because I didn't see many of those for us sapphics out there. I want to be able to continue to create without worrying for my family, friends, and (if I so choose) future lover's safety. I still have ideas I want to share. I still have more to give. This character won't exist forever, but I feel my creative journey here isn't done quite yet. But I have other people in my life to think about, not just me, and they will always come before any other channel. Please remember that.
As of now, I will continue to create, but I just wanted to be completely honest, in case the time comes where I will need to say goodbye sooner rather than later.
From one human being to another, thank you for understanding,
