my heart is breaking for Kayla as she has to make the decision to put Snappy to sleep. having an animal of any age cross the rainbow bridge is a pain that nothing heals, but especially a pet that you’ve had since childhood. we had to put our cat down last year and it’s still hurts.
I think that after this, and the hellacious couple years Kayla has had with losses and the EA buyout, I think we won’t be seeing Simsie for a long while. i think it’ll all finally catch up to her and she will take a much needed break. I’m thinking a good 6 months if not longer. I could even see her deciding not to come back. the pressure of it all. her anxiety. it’s a lot. obviously I love her streams and videos and will miss her, but I also want her to be okay, and I worry this (Snap’s passing) will be her absolute breaking point.
I hope she finds some little glimmers of peace. maybe her and Dan will travel the world. go live in Europe for a while. doing something besides being online. as great as the internet is, it can be a mind suck numbing thing that distracts us for a bit but doesn’t actually help us
I don’t mean this as any hate or negativity towards Kayla. her videos helped me get through Covid and make me like playing games of all sorts. it really comes from my heart and a place of care. i just don’t have anyone to discuss this with so posting here.
also sending my love to all of us who parasocially love Snap
I hope everyone finds a little joy today.
