Hello...
7 months ago
It has been a long time since I last reached out...
I'm sorry for the prolonged silence. I never meant for this hiatus to go on for so long...the past 2 years have been difficult for many, myself included.
Much has happened and changed.
I kept postponing any public interaction, because I felt like I wouldn't be able to handle it on top of everything else...though I realize that this is mostly self imposed pressure.
I won't go into too much detail right now, but just as an update...
My father passed away at the end of october, and though we're still handling some of the paperwork, things have calmed down a little since then.
I haven't created a lot of art in the meantime - but there is some, which I will share on my supporter discord first.
With how things have...developed...on the social media front, with..."X" and Bluesky, I think I will make my discord server public...
but I'm still figuring all that out.
In the meantime I will slowly start posting art again, here and on my other sites, including hotglewd.bsky.social .
If anyone has any questions or if I've somehow missed anyone to refund or still owe art, please let me know.
Thank you kindly, for your patience and understanding.

hope you feel good and stuff soooon
Not just my personal life, but the world feels...ngl, its mostly just...worse.
but i dont wanna be too pessimistic about it, after all im trying to get back on my feet.
I know that pain of losing that certain loved one. Sending lots of positive energy and vibes over your way.
took me long enough, but...here it goes.
I hope drawing can become a cozy refuge from... well... everything that's going on in the world while you recover. Best of luck out there <3 <3
It's been rough, but here's hoping!
I lost both my folks one yr after the other (2017 and 2018 respectively), and I'm still having to deal with my mother's end of the will with her remaining executor (she put 3 of us in charge to see her will fulfilled to it's end), so I can get how you'd feel with all that's been going on in your life.
I would say take all the time you need to piece yourself back to where you feel more comfortable with arting the way you used to. Making your disco public can be a nice idea, but with how things have been for you, I'm not sure what could happen if some randoms come in and give you shit.
Atm FA is still chugging along and I am seeing some more folks returning to it ever since the social media meltdowns. I've cut out Twitter/Reddit from my life and currently just stick to FA/Disco and I've felt better off for it (less drama at least, FA supports tagging now for finding art you want to see more of, etc).
I hope you manage to get back on your feet though, Hallo, and I wish you all the best for this year! <3.
That sounds rough...best of luck to you and yours.
Mercifully, the whole will/testament/inheritance situation is quite simple for my family...we're not divided, but its still difficult to deal with all the paperwork and bureaucracy...once my mother moves to a care home, we'll have to somehow clear the house...thats going to be a whole ordeal, as well...but, gotta cross those bridges when you come to them... there's enough struggles and worries, best to focus on the task at hand.
We'll see how it goes with art and my presence online...itll work out, somehow.
Thank you, again <3
I don't blame you, the paperwork is always a pain to go through. I had to go to multiple gov offices to sort out my mother's end, visit her lawyer that held her will and converse with him (as well as translate the will, because it was written in "ye old" English), make sure every company she was ever with or had dealings with notified and cut off contact/credit info, etc. It took me half a year to a year to get all of that fully sorted out.
I think on my end I did things differently, because my stepdad moved out 2ish yrs after my Ma passed, so I kept everything of hers within her room as it was, though my stepdad did sell some things of hers (which I'm still irked by, because he didn't specify what he sold to this day).
But again, I hope it all goes smoothly for you better than it was like for me!. Also forgot to say, welcome back to FA <3
Hm..that sounds very complicated...to the point it feels like taxes...needlessly complicated, to warrant the existence of an entire industry of tax advisors and lawyers....I wonder whether there are people who would handle that stuff on your behalf..good thing youve managed to get it all done.
And sure, if you'd like!
Second, welcome back, glad to hear yer making it through, even if it might feel slow. Ans yeah, social media is kinda eating its own ass hardcore atm, better to start hunkering down for the immediate future, imo.
Feels like I've done nothing but try to recover for the past 2 years or so...
Theres still many worries on the horizon, but I cant keep letting stuff take the wind out of my sails...
I'm humbled I could inspire ^^
And yeah..i hope i can build some momentum and things will work out
uhm...i havent played angry birds, im not much of a mobile gamer...but i did play the original plants vs zombies when it came out, i think....
Losing someone who has been there with you your whole life, especially when one was growing up, is never, ever easy, and I can more than understand things have not been easy for you...! I'm really sorry for your loss!
I..dont know..its the first time someone ive known has passed away...and in a way, i feel bad for not feeling worse about it..?
but..it depends so much on context, and everyone processes things differently...
I'm grateful to have so many supportive and understanding people around me.
Yeah, I definitely felt overwhelmed by things....I wish I had worked up the courage to move on sooner, but...things kept happening.
I'm so sorry and I hope you feel better and things improve.
*gives you a big hug*
Sorry for your loss, and all the upheaval that goes with it.
Here’s to better days.
That still hasn't happened, actually...
When I do, the plan is to make it joinable on weekends only, so I can at least somewhat control it....
It will be announced clearly, though. You won't miss it.
Thank you for your interest!
