So first off, I'm a little floored by all the growth that's happened while I'm away. I figured my channel would backslide from relevance or visibility. I'm rather thankful; perhaps I have my more unique kinks to thank for that. In any case, thank all of you for the support, and I want to welcome any new watchers who are joining me.

The furry fandom is a community that has been a home for me since middle school. Though I did not interact with individuals, I related and found comfort and pleasure in the art I found. When I first came out of my shell and began sharing in college, the furry community was warm and welcoming. When I was a depressed, lonely undergrad, a follower invited me to my first Telegram group chat. If you're reading this, you know who you are; thank you, and though I may not show up often anymore, I still think about that chat a lot. When I lost everything and my world came crashing down almost a year ago, I went to furry cons for the first time in my life, and found myself a new partner, new friends, and a new way of life. Hell, even when I came out as trans, you were all so patient and supportive of me. This community is one of the only anchor points I've found in my life, and even posting things for free means so much to me, moreso than anyone in my personal life (save for the other furries I met at the cons). Finding like-minded people, getting to see and reply to comments, seeing people who actually like the things I think and draw up and enjoy my characters and fantasies with me--that is a feeling I can't quite convey in words.

I am still working through life events, being force-closeted at home, and mental health. That said, I have resumed my creating recently. It's slow going, but I have a sketch I'm going to try and flesh out into something worth sharing. It's actually a rather difficult piece I've wanted to tackle for...oh lord, it's been years now. That makes me feel old! It's a continuation of an old series. I also have a piece I finished just before my hiatus I've wanted to share, and I'm working my way through a story. My hope is to resume my original plans and build up a backlog first, as I have more ideas including some larger projects I'd love to do and will need both my speed/skills back and necessary time built up in order to execute them. That means I will still be a bit before sharing again, but know that I am still here, scribbling and typing away in my office when I can! And hopefully sometime soon I can be back to our weekly scheduled sharing :3
