Part 2/2
- on that note, I also realized that that patreon rewards I want to deliver, I just can't. I am constantly feeling less, and berating myself for not doing more, sketching more, writing more, keeping up with promises, and all it does is drive me into the ground. This week, just the thought of drawing pages, make my stomach clench and I feel sick. How ridiculous is that? This level of anxiety is so dumb, and I brought it on myself.
3. Family and real life.
- i want to get back to myself. My happy places that bring me joy. That includes art, my family, taking walks in the rain because I'm not exhausted.
So there we have it. I am sorry that it got to this point, and you all have to suffer for it, but I am making this decision for myself, because I am the only one who can put me first.
So, what does this mean for the comic!
IT SHALL GO ON!
I have no intention of dropping the comic. I just want to redetermine my own terms. Which means that I want to make pages, just probably slowly some weeks and fast other weeks, what I can do when I can do it. Without pressure.
What does this mean for you?
Well, since Patreon is changing it's T's and C's, I am not going to remove it completely. But I am going to remove all tiers except the bottom one. The $1 Tier. So, if you want to pledge to me, you can either remove your patronage completely, I WILL COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, or you can stay on that tier where I will still en-devour to make regular content of some kind or another, including pages when they happen. There is also the option to make a custom pledge, if any of you want to decide for yourselves what you pay towards me. I want to be able to resurrect this Patreon at some point, but I don't know when. If ever. Keeping my options open ya' know?
I know there are alot of other Creators who do things differently, and I know I could too. But this is what I feel most ethical about, and comfortable with, without sacrificing myself in the process.

PSA Part 1/2
The following is from my patreon, but I'm posting it here too because it applies to everyone.
It's not the greatest news I'm afraid. Probably 6/10 on the bad news scale.
So, after much thought, discussion, and hand-wringing, I've decided to, basically, close this Patreon.
I know, I'm sorry. I truly am. But I am getting further and further away from being healthy enough to push the way that I have been. This week has been particularly bad, to the point where I am now wearing both a wrist brace and a compression bandage for my elbow. Hmm.
I was not looking forward to writing this. I felt like a failure like I'd let all of you down, after 3 years of working on this comic and gaining such a fantastic group of patrons, I'm giving it up. But I came to the conclusion that I must put myself first, and that requires some explanations to you, who deserve it.
So I shall do so, in point form XD
1. Physical health.
- as is obvious from the photos, my arm ain't doing too good. Partly because f the way I push myself, or the way I hold a pen, but I have an intense strain on my hand and the physio says that's probably not gonna change until I have some intense, long physiotherapy. I can't afford that right now, but if I'm gonna do it, that means taking a real break. I also have other physical problems, genetic and age-related, that basically means I have alot of aches and pains I can't ignore anymore. I gotta stop.
2. Mental Health.
- I've been forcing myself to put more hours in because I really want this dang story to progress. I have been excited about this particular chapter since the whole idea formed in my head, and I've been in a hurry, to my own detriment. The pressure on me to deliver pages is something I've caused but i have to look at and acknowledge that, no, it's not worth the sacrifice of my continues mental well-being. I want to be kinder to myself.
