Here’s a quick summary for those who just want the main points:
First, I want to sincerely apologize for my absence since opening the community. This was not fair to any of you, let alone the staff members who have been working so hard on the species.-from kea Secondly, I’ve made the decision to fully open the species. We are not going through design approvals, and etc. If you'd like to link your character to the Toyhouse world feel free. I will continue paying for the site until I can't anymore. 

For those who’d like a bit more context: many of you already know that I was previously involved in another species community. Unfortunately, that experience has left a deeper impact on me than I previously expected. It’s made me realize that I no longer have the emotional capacity to be involved in a closed species, let alone manage one.

This species was created with the intention of being a safe, comforting space for me, my staff, and all of you. And I want to fully emphasize that this decision has nothing to do with this community. Genuinely, I’ve never felt more warmth, kindness, or support than I have from all of you here. You've given me a genuine positive experience with a species community for the first time, and for that, I’ll always be incredibly grateful.

Watching everyone share their creativity and seeing the love you’ve put into your characters has meant the world to me. To make things easier for everyone involved, I’ll be opening the species entirely. From now on, you do not need a MYO slot for any of the subtypes and the following pets: Aerogons, Bunzips, Teapawts, and Smittens. -Impons can be made without MYOs as well but please credit Maulling on Toyhouse as the creator-

(Please note: Bommies are not included in this change, as I did not create or own those.)

You’re free to make adopts, take custom commissions, and continue creating as you wish. All I ask is for credit, feel free to link characters back to the Snugzi website or Toyhouse (or you can simply state they're part of an Open Species called Snugzi) and DO NOT make commercial use designs from Eternia or any Eternia merchandise. Design submissions to the website are no longer needed (and won't be gone through), though I’ll continue covering hosting costs for now until I decide what’s next. Eventually the site may close in the distant future so please make sure your files are somewhere or contact the designer for the files.

Lastly, thank you.
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you for supporting this species, the staff, the artists, and each other. I truly hope you’ll continue to create and share, whether it’s here or elsewhere.

I’m so so so sorry that this is the decision that I’ve had to come to, but it’s something I need to do for my own mental health and peace of mind. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from even if this isn't the outcome you were hoping for. Give love to Impera and all the staff members who literally carried the species the whole way and the beautiful artists who helped bring Snugzi to life.

Please take care of yourselves, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart. -Kea.Muu
