Big life update and whats to come
🕑 Added 2023-02-07 16:59:17 +0000 UTCYou might find it weird that I'm sharing this, but I'm mainly doing it because I have previously posted about being in a financial pinch, so I feel obligated to inform that this is not currently the case, for now!
TL;DR:
The state is supporting me again in return for me taking courses to start a business(which is a plus anyways)
I got backpay'd from all the missing months.
= Im no longer in financial duress(For now)
I had 200 Dollars left out of my 3000 dollars saved up until 1.nov when I got the message that my application was DECLINED. And my head started spinning.
But, 30 minutes later I got another message from the state, saying it was APPROVED suddenly(This was most likely because my Social worker had sent in updated information from my doctor).
And not just that, they even backpay for all the months I had been missing out on, so I essentially got back everything I had saved up for starting a business and move for my own.
This was such a relief, One day I went from not understanding how Id manage to do all of these things on top of my health problems, to everything being back in order again, a week later, I still haven't really accepted it yet.
For now this support can last to Oktober if needed, so a lot of my focus will go towards making it more likely for me to be stable both in terms of my business and health.
I also again want to thank ALL of you who supported me trough these times, without your help I wouldn't be able to offset my costs, and I would be personally bankrupt before I got support again.
SO WHATS NEXT?
I honestly don't know. Even if its way better, my energy levels are still swinging a fair bit, and I've found that taking my time to relax and regenerate during these times is the best for both my physical and mental health, even if it sucks x)
That dosn't mean I'll stop doing this, as this is my future and this is what I want to do, so I will keep doing what I want to. And since Patreon is what I want as a main income I want to make my patreon better.
SO PLEASE COMMENT ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR WHAT U WANT TO SEE, OR CHANGES THAT U THINK CAN BENEFIT BOTH PARTIES!
This might mean
- a bit less of fanservice and more of what I want to do personally.
- Potentially more commissions, as I feel less pressure overall(and that makes it easier for me to do Commissions(yes ik its stupid and it should be the other way optimally xD)
Other things I want to do:
- Continue learning a little about animating.
- Optimizing character for animations.
- Make a refsheet page for my characters.
- Organize my characters
- Potential continuation of my worldbuilding
- Explore more stylized characters
- Figure out what sort of rewards YOU want that Im able to create

Dw, im not going to force myself to do commissions if its going to burn me out. The same goes for fan-service. I wont stop, but there might be less of it. I understand where you are comming from. But the problem starts to appear if people start to come to me for the fanservice alone, then i lock myself into having to do something i dont want to do. Do u see the problem there?
hi! first of all is good to see you are going better, i saw your post on twitter, about what to change, more commisions is a good idea so far :D but dont push yourself too much ¬¬ and about the fanservice, i think the best is to keep it, if you take it off maybe people will leave (you know fanservice sell really well on this) thats all ^^ and good luck in the future!
