Okay...so as my watchers have probably noticed, I've been really spammy with my adoptables. This is because I've finally got the means to start paying off some serious credit card debt I ended up with when I was living in NY--mostly medical bills and groceries, and some rent. Because holy hell, it is expensive as fuq to live there.

But yeah, during the holidays, I wasn't able to get the same hours at my job and I've pretty much been living paycheck to paycheck since december. Thanks to my parents and Marzipan being awesome, I definitely haven't been starving or anything, but all of the money I've been pulling in since then has been going to debt payments.

I don't have the time to do regular commissions with my job, so I wasn't about to take on even more commissions, considering I have a good many in my queue already. The custom adoptables are a little different, because they take SO much less thought than a regular commission. Basically, adoptables are much lower stress than commissions are right now.

Luckily, my last payment is at the end of February, so I'll probably be able to get back to finishing commissions up properly and focusing more on personal art. I might reopen commissions again once I don't have hells of debt hanging over my head, but we'll see! I really just want to focus on personal art for awhile.

Anyway, that's my deal! I mean, I really, really, REALLY love designing characters, and I'm glad adoptables are a thing so I can do that without having zillions of unused character designs floating around like I used to. I won't stop doing them, but I do want to cut down on the sheer volume I produce.

I just really can't afford to NOT do a bunch right now, because every little bit helps lately.

This isn't a plea for help, or an "OMG BUY MY ADOPTABLES OR I'LL STARVE!!!!" kind of post, just an explanation as to why I've been posting so many. I know there are people who have been irritated by it, and I'm sorry if it's made me unwatchable for any of you @m@
