Wake Me Up When September Ends...
Posted a year agoHey everyone, September already... man this year is flying by.
August was admittedly a bit slow for me productivity-wise, especially with me being out of town for about 2 weeks, but with September starting I will be getting the Choose Your Own Adventure polls rolling again on Twitter & Tumblr so make sure you vote in those for this month's drawing. :)
I'll also be opening commissions again soon so keep an eye out for my commission posts (also on Twitter/Tumblr) if you've been wanting one.
As always, please feel free to leave suggestions & ideas in the comments of things you'd like to see in September.
I appreciate your continued support so much, I'm glad you're here! I hope you all have a great month.

It was the Fourth of July, you and I were fireworks...
Posted a year agoHey everyone! I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you all so much for all the support from Patreon donations to commissions, I really appreciate it! Not gonna lie the changes I've had to make conforming to Patreon's guidelines against chubby kink art has been pretty tough. Understandably, a lot of folks dropped their pledges (I don't fault them, I definitely get it) and I've never been the breadwinner in our household but still... we've just about gone down to one income at this point. But we're making it work and I so appreciate everyone who's stuck around! I'm hoping that at some point I can build my income back up over time once the dust settles.
Things have been up and down for me production-wise... mainly due to depression/anxiety but I'm looking forward to being more productive in July. If there's anything y'all would like to see more of from me, please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments.
I should have the first Choose Your Own Adventure polls up on Twitter & Tumblr soon. Thank you all for being here with me!!
PS- Head's up I will be out of town for about 2 weeks at the start of August visiting the Funny Bunny in Chicago so there may not be any new posts up during that time (I won't have my laptop with me) but I'll be posting again once I get back after the 13th. Hope you all are having a great Spring/Summer so far!

The Future of Support on my Patreon
Posted a year agoI've been doing a lot of consideration about how to proceed with Patreon due to their new community guidelines...
I'm planning to proceed with business as usual for April because honestly they didn't really give us much time to plan for this or anything. Just "you're suddenly breaking our rules"... but I don't want to do that to y'all so assuming I don't get the boot sometime this month, things should be relatively the same. Going forward however (post April) I will no longer be able to post exclusive content to Patreon. I'll still be working of course, and I'll still need support but my work will just be posted publicly to my socials. My Patreon will still remain active (assuming I don't get kicked off or something like that) so I can still collect earnings there but I won't be posting work or polls there. I'm hoping despite my art and polls being open publicly that y'all will still consider supporting me so I can continue to draw cute tummies and such. I appreciate all the support you've been giving me all these years!
There will be some changes on my creator page, reward tiers will be coming down (including monthly commissions) so this will be the final month for those rewards. Please plan accordingly and make any adjustments to your pledges that you need to this month! Especially monthly commission rewards since I know those are a bit pricey.
My work will be posted to my Twitter, Tumblr, Blue Sky, Furaffinity and Pixiv accounts as well as the Choose Your Own Adventure polls and I will be opening commissions periodically so if you want one please keep an eye out for announcements on those sites! It really sucks to have to make this decision, I won't blame any of y'all for deleting your pledges without exclusive rewards/content. As of right now I don't really have any better options (open to suggestions though).
I'm just so tired of companies riding the backs of sex workers and kink artists until they no longer need us and throw us under the bus. When I stop to think about the really popular kink artists on that platform and how much money Patreon has made off them it makes me sick, honestly.
But I digress...
I hope everyone is having a good day regardless. I will keep fighting the good fight and keeping the love alive for cute tummies. <3

Seattle Recommendations?
Posted a year agoI will be in Seattle in a couple weeks. We’ll be staying close to Pike Place Market and we won’t have a car with us but if you’ve got suggestions of stuff to check out nearby, lemme hear ‘em! Food recommendations aren’t really needed since we’re vegan anyway and I’ve already researched the options… but if there’s other cool stuff to check out I appreciate suggestions! Thanks y’all!
Commission Waitlist Closed
Posted a year agoMy commission waitlist is now closed, thank you everyone who signed up! I really appreciate it. I will try to get these all wrapped up this week. 💕
How's your day?
Posted a year agoI woke up severely depressed and with a migraine. I'm honestly not sure what to do with myself... my initial instinct is to just go back to bed but I know that's a slippery slope when it comes to depression. I guess I'll just try to take it easy today and drink a lot of water and hope that helps. I hope you all are having a good time. Tell me about your day.
Taking some time off...
Posted a year agoThis round of commissions is officially wrapped up. Thank you so much to everyone who commissioned me, I really appreciate it! I'm going to take the rest of Feb off and my Patreon will be on pause for March. Hopefully I can get some personal art done in the meantime. 💕

Important Announcement: Possible time off Patreon March 2...
Posted a year agoHey everyone! There is a possibility I may be taking time off Patreon for March 2024 as well. The Funny Bunny might be visiting during Spring Break! Plans for this are currently up in the air so I will keep you all posted closer to the end of February with whether or not my Patreon will resume as usual or be on pause for the month. Here's everything you need to know if my Patreon continues to be on pause for March:
-Current patrons will not be charged for the month if my Patreon is on pause. You don't need to make any changes to your pledges (unless you want to if course).
-New patrons who sign up while my Patreon is on pause may be charged, I don't have any control over this it's just the way Patreon works. If you sign up during a pause and you're still charged for the month feel free to message me for a refund or whatever the amount you've paid as a discount on a future commission or something. If you'd just like to support me, that's cool too! I really appreciate it.
-If my Patreon is indeed on pause for March, I will still be offering commissions through the month. If my Patreon is not on pause, I may do some commissions but that's not guaranteed as I may not have time with my Patreon work load. Commissions are of course still being offered through February.
Normally if I have someone visiting, I will try to work on a buffer so I have enough content for the month and can avoid having to put my Patreon on pause, but with me working on commissions through February I don't think I'll have time to do an adequate buffer. If anything changes though I will be sure to let you all know! I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause anyone, especially those of you who have monthly commission rewards. But hopefully you can catch a commission outside of Patreon if you really want one. Thank you all so much for your continued support! It really means a lot to me!

February Time Off (Patreon)
Posted a year agoMy Patreon will be on pause February 2024 for time off. Current patrons won't be charged for the month!
I might open some commissions next month, if you've been wanting one please keep an eye out for my commissions posts on Tumblr/Twitter. Thanks so much for your support!

Keep an eye out for commissions next week!
Posted 2 years agoMarbles has unfortunately been having issues. He's at the vet today for more expensive tests. :( Hopefully he is on the mend soon! But keep an eye out I will likely be opening commissions sometime next week. I will make a heads up post before hand, thanks everyone!

Out of Town 10/10-10/18
Posted 2 years agoJust a reminder that I will be out of town next week visitin' the Funny Bunny (yay!). I won't have my laptop with me so my communication will be a little limited. I'll try my best to respond to messages and such via mobile but for anything more technical it'll have to wait until I'm back in Portland. Note: I do not have FA on my phone so if you need to contact me try Discord, Tumblr or Twitter.
This is my first trip to Chicago (and the midwest in general), I'm excited! :) It's been a really long time since I've flown though... I'm a little nervous but it's not a super long flight so I think it'll be okay. I'm bringing my Switch and 3DS and I put the Kindle app on my phone so hopefully that's enough to keep me entertained for about 4 hours.
I might blog a little about the trip if I have the time and energy, if not I'll see y'all when I get back! Thank you all for the support, I wouldn't have been able to afford this trip without you!

Commissions Will Open Again in September!
Posted 2 years agoJust dropping another reminder that I'm about halfway to funding my trip to Chicago (thank you all so much!) so I'm planning to open commissions again the second week of September. Please keep an eye out if you've been wanting one! I'll post another reminder closer to the time!
Halfway There!
Posted 2 years agoI'm about halfway to earning enough money to cover the expenses of my trip in October, thank you all so much for commissioning me!
I'm wrapping up the latest round of commissions now and I'm planning to work on personal art for the remainder of August. At the start of September I'll need to start Patreon work so the next time I open spontaneous commissions will probably be the second week of September or so. For everyone interested in a commission, keep an eye out then. I will make a heads up post a few days in advance.
Thanks everyone!

Commission FAQ's
Posted 2 years agoFirstly, I'd like to thank everyone for their interest in my commissions. It really means a lot to me that y'all want a commission from me! I've been getting a fair amount of comments & questions regarding my commissions so I wanted to try n' address 'em here:
How do I go about getting a commission? I open commissions spontaneously when I have the time and energy to do so. I generally make a post a day or two in advance as a heads up to keep an eye out. Heads up posts generally look like this: https://www.tumblr.com/fattlestacks.....s?source=share. Moving forward though I will try to make these posts stand out/look a little more obvious as heads up posts since there's been some confusion about them. Note: I do not send individual heads up messages to people. I just don't have the time or energy to do that. If you'd like a commission your best bet is to keep your eyes peeled for a post that looks like this: https://www.tumblr.com/fattlestacks.....s?source=share , read the details and send me a message.
Do you have a waitlist? I do not currently have a wait list, the reason being that I don't always know what my Patreon workload or my personal art needs may be from month to month. I also suffer from depression and chronic pain. I can't really predict when I'll be in a depressive episode or in too much pain to concentrate or draw. My ability to work varies during these times and I can't really commit to a commission waitlist because of this. Opening commissions spontaneously helps me gauge how much work I can take on at the current time and not get overwhelmed having a list hanging over me that I feel like I need to rush through. I've also had negative experiences with commission wait lists in the past where by the time I get to someone they've lost interest or just ghost me. :(
Can you reserve a spot for me next time? I'm sorry, I cannot. I try to give everyone a fair shot at grabbing a commission slot and I don't have the energy to contact everyone interested with personal messages.
I live in a different time zone and I keep missing your commission posts, can you post at a different time? I already do vary the times that I make commission posts, I suspect people may be missing them due to how fast they get claimed sometimes.
Where's the best place to catch your commission posts? Honestly, Tumblr. This is where I make commission posts first, the reason being that other sites don't allow for long posts with images the way Tumblr does so it's harder for me to get all of the information in one place. Because of this Tumblr posts need to go up first so I can link to all the details from my other socials. That being said, correspondence regarding commissions is best on Discord where I can pin your details & reference images. Feel free to message me there username: Jaymzeecat. Tumblr, Twitter and email are also adequate for correspondence though I cannot pin so details can get lost in the conversation sometimes.
It's really hard for me to keep tabs on messages from sites like Furaffinity or Patreon. They also don't allow images to be sent via messages, unfortunately.
While I definitely appreciate everyone's interest and how much y'all help me pay my bills! FOR REAL! I am only one person and I'm doing my best. (And not for nuthin'... I'm old and tired, haha!) I realize you may be frustrated when you miss out on commissions, but please don't send me angry or passive aggressive comments/messages. :( I really am trying to accommodate everyone.
I think that's everything! I hope y'all can catch commissions the next time they're open, thanks everyone!

Posted 2 years agoWill Try to Open Commissions this Weekend
Posted 2 years agoAlmost finished with this round of commissions, probably have 'em all wrapped up tonight. I'm working on a couple other drawings behind the scenes and I'll try to open commissions again sometime this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled. 👀
I am currently trying to earn/save up some money to visit the Funny Bunny in October. 🐰💕 So I will be attempting to open commissions more frequently than usual over the next one and a half months. I'm trying to vary the times when I make commission posts to give people in different time zones a chance to snag one. Furaffinity unfortunately doesn't really give me alerts without refreshing the page over n' over... You also can't send images over FA messages so it's not great for commission communication. The best places to see/react to my commission posts are on:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/fattlestacks
and
Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/fattlestacks
I'll also try to make a post on my Patreon to see if that helps (again, you can't send images over Patreon messages so not the best place to communicate about commissions).
The easiest place to go over commission details with me is on Discord, feel free to add me: Jaymzeecat
Thanks so much for your interest, everyone!
