A few updates
🕑 Added 2024-03-21 15:26:48 +0000 UTCHey guys, after doing some thinking (over the span of months, I promise this isn’t out of nowhere lol) I’m unfortunately not going to continue listing access to my discord server as a patreon perk. At least not for a while.
I know for a few of you this probably sucks, for most of you it means nothing because I didn’t properly link my server to patreon anyways so if you subbed a week after I posted the invite you wouldn’t have been able to join anyways. So that one’s on me for not getting how that worked. I removed all of my patrons from the server to originally have that fixed, because if I wasn’t sure if someone was still subscribed or not, they would still be able to access my content either way, potentially for free. And that isn’t fair to the others that do support me.
Besides that, I just think my discord server has kind of grown past my original intentions with it as a place for me to post stuff I wasn’t comfy with posting here. It instead has become a much more intimate place where a lot of my close friends hang out and chat almost every day, and it’s become such a personal space for me that I feel like anyone being able to buy into it is weird. I’ve felt that way for a while. Piggybacking off of that, there were also too many bad/weird/uncomfortable interactions with some patrons for one reason or another, and part of that is the problem with public servers that I wanted to avoid.
I’d like to be supported on patreon for the merits of my work and not for my discord server or my connections to other artists. If you were subbed purely for the server, and you want to cancel your membership and receive a refund, I’ll be more than happy to get that taken care of for you.
I’m sorry to the people that felt blindsided by this but I do feel like this is the right thing to do for myself and I’ve felt that way for a while.
In other news, more content is on the way, but I have been taking a break for my mental health, so there might be a few older works sprinkled in with the sketches and finished works. I might try scheduling different kinds of posts throughout the month instead of just posting whenever I finish something. I’ll also be making more polls and I’ll try interacting with people more through patreon itself.
Have a good rest of your week, everyone!
