Somethings gotta give
🕑 Added 2016-03-14 15:35:33 +0000 UTCOkay YOOO figure yall should be the first to find out. I gotta make some SERIOUS changes in my schedule, and I'll tell ya why.
I've been havin my three comics (Of course, AskError, Aftertale) along with fun concept art for future projects, while roleplayin Fresh in private in some small roleplays. And-- wow, it's become way too much.
If I were to be completely honest, I've been having SERIOUSLY bad anxiety. Like out the wazoo crazy awful bad anxiety. I've had some panic attacks, and quite a few stress headaches that are VERY BAD. Point is, although I love working on every single story I'm doin, and concepts, and roleplays, WOW I can't do this anymore. Despite the fact I don't really want to halt ANYTHING I'm doing, I have to. But I'm letting you guys know first.
This is the list of changes I gotta make, for my own wellbeing.
-CPAU won't have weekly updates anymore. I don't know when it will update. It will update when I can do it.
-Aftertale and AskError stay the same, no worries!
-Concept art for Lucidia will probably STOP for a while, so I can let my brain relax and focus on the first two stories, throwin my energy into them. Fresh art will probably cease a while, too. (I'm sorry Fresh my baby! D:)
-Roleplays with Fresh GOTTA get cut, no matter how much I love doin em. After this upcoming week, I'm only gonna RP with him every other week.
This is all stuff that is ABSOLUTELY necessary for my own mental wellbeing. D: I'm just being stretched WAY TOO THIN and I know its my own fault but, I love every single project I'm working on! You guys are amazing and supportive, and you had to know first. Luckily most of my comics won't be effected, just CPAU, and even then I'd like to wrap up the Underfell arc before taking a break from it.
Aftertale is gettin to big stuff in its story, and so is AskError. I wanna stop stretching myself so thin so I can make sure to do those stories JUSTICE. I know you'd all understand, and so many people are SO wonderful and just worry about me-- I KNOW you'd get it. For weeks, I've been thinking to myself, 'something's gotta give, something's gotta give I can't keep running like this'. And it's true, I can't. D: And I'll post this same thing on tumblr later. Thank you so much everyone!!!

You work hard and I think it'd be great if you took a break :D I really love your comics and I'm still fairly young and can't get a job yet but, I'm scraping up some money to help support you here. I'm going through some writers block as it is and it sucks like a leech on steroids.. In anyway, I love everything you do in your comics and if you need a break, go on ahead! <3 <3 <3
Do what you need to, CQ! I don't care nearly as much about the art as I do about your well-being, and I value your happiness more than getting a regular posting schedule. It's totally fine that the comics might not update as often, I don't care, you mean more to me than just any comic does. You're a person, with personality, and if you're having a hard time right now getting everything done, don't worry about us and focus on taking care of yourself.
