IMPORTANT UPDATES - [PLEASE READ]
3 years ago
Sup, nerds. YEup, it's me, your friendly neighborhood gaymer. Dropping in to leave an update after so much shit that happened the past week or two. Bear with me, this will be a fairly big update, which I will apologize for in advance, but a LOT of important things have occurred, thus it feels only right to post this kind of update.
Let's jump right into it:
#1. I saw my PCP last Wednesday. I have low iron and high ammonia. I'm taking multivitamins to help As well as only drinking water (about 95 fl oz a day- my doctor recommended at least 60 but I'm drinking only water so I'm drinking quite a lot.) As well as trying to fix up my diet a bit. I should be ok! I'm thankful I finally know why I've been so drained physically. I was struggling a lot the past few months with just getting out of bed, drawing, cooking, and cleaning were even harder than waking up. This has been going on since like.. November at the earliest? Maybe I even started feeling signs in October. I've been feeling incredibly drained since then. Figured it was something else but I'm glad we have an answer as to what's wrong and I am striving to get healthier in the meantime, so don't worry about me!
#2. Possible Sinus Infection. I've had sinus issues since late November as well. Serious pressure in my eyes and head,and either a seriously stuffy or seriously drippy nose. My doctor said things looked fine last Wednesday, but to call her back this week on Monday if it didn't get any better. It of course didn't, so I called and she has sent an antibiotic so- I'll be having my father pick it up for me tomorrow or Saturday since I- cannot currently do much of anything. More on that below.
#3. So I got that steroid injection I mentioned before today at 3:30 PM EST. It hurts a lot rn AaAA. My lower back+tailbone and the entirety of my right leg are killing me. As some of you already know, my right leg has been an issue for YEARS before my back ever was- the injection put a lot of pressure on both it and my tailbone+lower back. I can't get comfortable in my bed at all no matter how I lay. I haven’t any clue if this injection will indeed end up helping with my pain in the next few days, but fingers crossed that it does! Due to this Injection however, I won't be doing too much for a couple of days. If I don't get back to you by Sunday, please message me again! I will also try to finish owed art in the meantime, but I cannot guarantee I'll be able to finish much! I apologize to those who are still waiting on art for me- I feel pretty bad about the wait with everything that's been going on since basically right after my 23rd birthday last year. I seriously appreciate everyone's patience though. Thank you so much!
#4. Name change/update. I know, most of you that have known me for over a year are probably groaning reading this, I am so sorry. I can't seem to keep a name longer than 8 months to 1 year. To be honest though, when I started using Riley, Rue, and Rui, my thought process was "as long as it isn't my deadname" and not "I love this name so much!" I've always been iffy with Riley. Rui was a Japanese name my dad suggested to me which is nice but it just doesn’t feel right. Finally, Rue started as the name of an oc of mine who then became my Sona, and then I took on the name. While I like Rue, it's too feminine for me and just doesn't feel right anymore. Long story short; Please don't call me Rue, Rui, or Riley anymore, I’d seriously appreciate it. I am now going by Zephyr/Zee. You can also call me Zeph, though Zephyr/Zee are more-so preferred! I still use the nickname Gogglehead, which is more of a joking kind of nickname based on my sona w their goggles, but feel free to use it for me regardless of whether it’s a joke or not! I love it and no one has used it for me yet. I’m not really using Bat or Moth nicknames or neopronouns anymore, I love bats and moths, and my sona has both a bat and moth form, but I don’t exactly like them as a nickname by themselves anymore.
#5. Pronouns update. I am using the following pronouns (just keep in mind I don’t use all of these pronouns all at once- some days I do, not every single day though. My pronouns may shift daily because my gender is still technically fluid- but if you’re in any discord groups with me I do change them as soon as my pronouns shift so you don’t need to worry about that. If you’re unsure, just ask, or stick to my neopronouns or it/it’s pronouns. Those are a safe bet as they are the ones I tend to use the most!)

#6. I’m still struggling financially atm. I mentioned it before, and I’m mentioning it again just cause I figured I’d give y’all a heads up. I’m still working on those adopts I mentioned based off of moodboards, I’ve officially got about 2 finished and the 3rd about halfway. If there are any moodboards you’d like to see me make an adopt based off of, feel free to comment them below or DM/Note me it! I also have been working on owed art lately. Slowly but surely I’ve been making pretty good progress! Thus, I have decided that I WILL be officially re-opening my commissions starting March 1st! There will also be a post on February 28th containing a code for a 20% off coupon on all commissions you order from me when I reopen my commissions, and everyone will be able to use that code when filling out the commissions form! My good friends/close friends however are also going to be receiving a DM/PM/Note/Etc from me for a special coupon code that only they’ll be able to use for even more off! Also I should mention- I officially decided to make an art schedule for myself cause I figured it’d help me with drawing more and getting more owed art done since I really have been struggling with getting it all finished- mainly due to the lack of iron but, I didn’t know that until now lol. So, from now on, my art days will be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I will not work on owed art on holidays unless I manage to find the free time, energy, and motivation, and I may also do some art on Sundays! Doing owed art on Sundays will fully depend on how this new schedule works for me! Obviously today and this Saturday I likely won’t be drawing much at all due to the amount of pain I’m in right now, but we’ll see what happens! I’m gonna try and at least do some minor sketches/lining at the least with some owed art, but I may not get all that much done.
I think that’s everything? If I’m forgetting anything I’ll be sure to pop in and drop another mini update. For those of you who take the time out of your day to read all of this- I love and appreciate you so much. I put way too much time into writing these updates when I have a giant amount of things going on so everyone that takes the time to read them I could not express how much I appreciate you. I hope everyone that got this far has a lovely day/evening/night!
