Updates.
Posted 3 years agoIt's been a while since I wrote a full update thing. I wanted to get things out there that I more regularly talk about on Twitter, which I'd recommend following if you'd like to know what I'm up to. But I also want to drop things here to keep people who don't updated as well.
First and foremost, I was just denied (again) for Disability. After 9 months of waiting, they denied by after taking medical records from years of doctors appointments and emergency room visits. They know what medications I take, they know what my appointments are. They know what doctors have told me and everything. They still denied me because reason. There's a lot of speculation that it became that much more difficult for people like me to get on this program due to an event during the Trump administration, and while that would not be surprising, it was never confirmed or denied. Regardless, that leaves my future rather unclear. I have been needing this to go through to help me with bills. As I've mentioned in the past, my hands aren't always going to last, but I'll at least try.
That brings me to the next issue.
Over the past few weeks, I've been having issues with separating fact from fiction, so to speak. It's paranoia on a level I've never experienced, something that we'll surpasses normal anxiety. It's gone from thinking someone is lying to me, to wondering if they are even there. If I'm awake. If I'm dead and just in some sort of after-state. Back when I was first getting medication from my psychiatrist, he had told me one of the things he was worried about was Schizophrenia, as the mixture of medical disabilities I have can also align themselves and mask the same symptoms. Therefore, I've been taking the same medication to handle both. Now, with no medication changes, I've been having issues get worse seemingly by the day, aside from the past few days where there have been spouts. I've never felt so helpless and scared in my life dealing with this, being so unsure of everything around me, not knowing if anything is real, and having to "hope" it is. It's all so against my normal ways of thinking. We've been trying to do some things to help, as there are theories regarding PTSD that are causing this issue, and part of it seems to be helping, but only a little. I'm not sure if it's going to just be time related or what, but it's very distressing none the less.
As far as commissions go, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry things are taking so long. I can't keep in the right mindset to do this for long stretches of time, and when I do I can't finish a piece cause my hands are fighting me. I hope everyone who is waiting can forgive me for delays, I'm thankful for all of your patience. Please always feel free to contact me if you need to, I generally try to keep people updated.
If at all you feel like helping out during this time, I'd greatly appreciate it. Anything can help, as apparently sending a new appeal for Disability can take up to 9 fucking months.
I love you all, so much. Thank you for reading. Take care.

Taking emergency coms
Posted 3 years agoI'm gunna be taking emergency commissions to help with upcoming bills and to help pay computers stuff. This will obviously be done after the parts arrive and I can get up and running. Please give me a pm if you are interested!
PC officially gone.
Posted 3 years agoI've been trying to keep this thing alive for as long as possible, but the time came. I've done everything, I promise, I'm not getting anything anymore, I can't even access the storage to salvage anything.
I've had a gofundme going to try and raise money before this happened to try and have a replacement before it died and I could transfer things, but it's just... all gone now.
If you have anything you can donate, please consider doing so, or let people know that can. I can't do anything until I'm back up and running.

Taking Time (Breakup thing)
Posted 3 years agoI havnt really just outright said anything yet. I've beat around the bush to add clarification where needed as the situation is complex., but need to just do this for myself.
I'm not in a relationship anymore.
There is a friend of ours that has grown close, and rather than stay in the way of something better, it was better for me to step to the side. It was my choice to do. If you know me enough, you'll know I'd never want to be the reason that something better could have been achieved. Knowing how much they fell in love with eachother, it had to be done.
With the issues I'm still facing with my hands, the pain thats brought due to the reasoning, and everything else, im... done. I put some vent art on twitter best shows how it feels, but im probably never posting it here.
I want to ask everyone to please respect their budding relationship, as strange and rare as this sort of thing may be.
As for me, I have to do the normal things I guess we always do with this stuff, just in a really complex way.

Hey everyone.
Posted 3 years agoWhile I'm still awaiting disability to be completed, I need help covering rent and bills that hit at the beginning of each month. If you are financially stable enough to assist, please consider donating.
As for why I don't just open for more coms, I usually want to hold that off as a complete kadt resort. I've been slowly working through a backlog, things are taking longer for me than they once used to. What I don't want to do is pile a bunch more on the back of a list of people who have been waiting, or worse, ignore the older orders. Too many artists have just cut and run in the past. While it might be frustrating, I promise I won't forget, and everyone will get their work, one way or another.
If you are still waiting for you piece and would like updates or just want to check in or change things, please let me know. If for whatever reason you'd like to change your commission to a donation to help trim the list down, id also greatly appreciate it, but im not letting you go empty handed either. If you choose that route, you'll at least be getting a sketch or two.
Thank you for reading.

SCOTUS more like SCROTUS
Posted 3 years agoBodily autonomy is a human right, this is not a political debate. Fuck the GOP for being monsters. Fuck the dems for their inaction. Our government needs a hard reset.

Assistance with CPAP replacement
Posted 3 years agoI don't update as much here as I used to with journals, but I recently had COVID-19. And now that I've mostly recovered, I ordered new CPAP replacement stuff, like mask and tubes and stuff, cause obviously I can't use the same things. Usually, insurance covers these things. For whatever reason, not so much this time.
They charged me a little under $300, and I'm not entirely sure if it's a mistake. I did contact them, but it will take a day or so for a reply, and more time if there is a refund, but I need help now.
If you are able to assist, please consider helping me out!

Keeping Content Ungated
Posted 3 years agoI've so far been happy with the choice to remove the boundary of Patreon for content. I need to make money and a living, but I've always felt bad about having to gate content off to people who can't afford it. I know the feeling of wanting to see art or something from someone's favorite artist and you just don't get to cause you're broke. I didn't like the idea of being part of that.
Because of that though, I do rely on commissions and donations to keep things that way. Currently, I'm still working through my backlog of commissions, as I also don't want to become the artist that leaves old commissions to rot and forgotten. Everyone will get what they paid for, period. It's taking a while, due to the unfortunate reality of disabilities, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely. So, I'm mostly relying on donations more than anything else.
If you do have any extra money to help out, it would mean the world to me. Whether I get donations or not, content will remain free to all, and no new queues will be opening aside from pure emergency or special sketches until the backlog is complete and the past commissioners are satisfied, but helping is massive, and helps to keep my life going.

It's your body, not the GOP's
Posted 3 years agoso yeah.
Fuck SCOTUS.
Your body is your own.
The government has no right making choices over your body.
This is a human rights issue, just like always.
Old white dudes with their shitty God can go fuck themselves, also like always.

I stand with Ukraine.
Posted 3 years agoI know most people don't like politics, but since war was broken out between Ukraine and Vladimir Putin, it's no longer about politics.
Make sure to check on your loved ones on both sides. Remember most Russian civilians do not want this, and will likely be caught in backlash due to Putins war. There will be xenophobic people sprouting up, but please remember this is Putins war, not the civilians living in Russia.
Please stay safe, and stand with Ukraine. 💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛

Posted 3 years agoThank you all for everything.
Posted 4 years agoEver since the end of 2019, or for some the beginning of 2020, our world changed. A virus spread throughout the world, killing millions in a pandemic. The United States saw some of the worst government issues that brought to light just how bad things really were, from the social economic classes to just plain bigotry. Other places around the world saw their own nightmares, from cutting off trades, economic disasters, and protests. The reason the past few years are a blur, simply, is because nearly every day there has been a new piece of big news that has been relevant to the rest of it. 2020-2021 have been an ongoing story that seems to be spilling over into the next year as well, as new Covid variants spread and new divides are made between people and their beliefs. It's safe to say at this point that if you didnt know where someone stood on a subject before 2020, you know where they stand now. Lines have been drawn, for better or worse.
Not all has been bad, however. During the pandemic, workers have fought for better pay, for unionization, and having their work places investigated for inappropriate practices. We've seen a surge in people, including myself, that were finally able to take off their masks, tired of playing the part of someone else, to become who they know they are. Isolation, ironically, has made people more free than ever.
I want to thank you all for being here through my own journey. I know I ask a lot sometimes, and I'm sorry for that. But I want you all to know, from the deepest part of my soul, I wouldnt be able to be here without your support. Even those who dont speak, those who simply just click a favorite, show support that means the world to me. Thank you all so much, I hope the next years start to look more normal for us all, and our passions grow once again.
