Sinpufff Update: I'm back!
a week ago
General
Hhh, it has been a long journey to return but I will try to condense it. But first, I appreciate those who have sent me well wishes during my absence, it truly means a lot to finally see those messages when I could open up my discord and telegram again. <3
So, some of you are aware that I lost my home during hurricane Milton, to be fair, it was already struggling after getting rocked by Ian a couple of years earlier. But, since the house was deemed unsafe and unlivable, my mom and I didn't have many options when it came to having a roof over our heads while traveling for her cancer treatment. At the time, it seemed like a small victory that my aunt helped out by housing my mom, and eventually me.
Unfortunately, at some point my aunt found out about my FA account and took it badly by locking down my devices when at home. It was pretty bad and that only got worse when my mom eventually lost her battle with cancer months later.
I got institutionalized by my aunt for 'spiraling'. She used my depression as an excuse boot me out and make me 'better'. I was stuck there for months. To be honest, I'm still messed up about all this, I wasn't allowed time to grieve, I wasn't allowed to keep my things either since my aunt trashed my stuff while I was gone.
However, some good news after all of this, I was able to move out and get an extended stay with my friend in Canada. I can't thank them enough to giving me a home, even if it is temporary, they even got me my ticket to fly on over. I am not planning on going back anytime soon if I can help it.
More good news, despite all my things getting trashed, all my files were backed up to a cloud that she had no access to. A small mercy in that I still have my digital work. I'm currently working off a slightly busted up ipad I bought for cheap, so it'll hold me over for a little while as I finish off my dusty queue. However, I obviously can't stream right now, not unless there is a way to stream off an ipad alone (I have yet to find a way, but if anyone does know hmu).
After all of this, I do plan to reopen commissions to get funds for a new computer so I can stream again asap, at least enough for a decent laptop. As for my prices, yes, those will increase-- BUT I will be doing one last hurrah with my previous prices before that happens. There will be a follow up journal with more information soon.
That's all I got for now, thank you for reading, so sorry for being gone for so long, but I can't express enough how happy I am to be back.

Hope everything for the future is brighter and looking forward to seeing your art again!
Sorry To Hear About All That Has Happened To You...
All I Can Give Is Hugs And Wish You The Best Of Luck...
But It's Good You Managed To Save Your Artwork...
But thank you, I'm glad to be back <3
I hope things will get better soon for you!
Not sure what kind of Ipad you have, but you can try using the app called camo studio! It lets you share screen to Picarto or to whatever site you prefer to stream! If you want some help let me know and i'll try my best!
And I'm checking out camo studio now, it looks promising, a little laggy; hopefully I can adjust for that. Thanks so much for the headsup <3333
Second- Condolences on the loss of your Mom. That is never an easy life experience. (((Hugs, if o.k.)))
Third- Your aunt sounds like a very real harpy!!! I'd say worse, but it wouldn't do any good (Certainly won't help HER, and YOU don't need others adding to your own sentiment!)...
It's great to hear your friend was able to extend such help, and I wish/hope all the very best for your recovery and eventual life happiness!
Yeah, I owe them so much, they're my ride or die. <33
