Checking in
🕑 Added 2022-09-25 17:22:04 +0000 UTCI can never tell if making check in posts is more annoying than just going silent for a while? It's hard to guess. Let me know.
Anyhow, I have been hesitant to say this since I don't want to come off as a drama queen but after getting my blood pressure medication sorted I still just haven't felt well. A lot of little real world stresses piled up all at once and I am truthfully having a hard time, and it's making art feel like a slogging chore. Stress and exhaustion does that.
Since I dislike putting out lazy/forced crap just to fill space I stall at times like this.
Here's my question in relation though, does my keeping you guys posted in times like these bother you? Or do you find it reassuring? Or something else? Please do let me know. I really try to do right by ya.

See, I get paranoid that if even a week goes by without new art everybody will leave and I'll be under a bridge. haha

I subbed to a Patreon once that wasn't active in 8 months because I liked older content, and they still were not active, and that's when I unsubbed a few months later. I think you're fine so long as you keep making rewards and other content.
That is comforting, actually.
On that last bit- I had never thought of it that way. Interesting to hear, as I always thought reposting the same image with minor changes would only annoy people.
You are like out of a fantasy. Are you real? Have I invented you? Are you my tulpa? haha

Given the option, I think I prefer having the check-in posts. Don't need daily or in-depth updates or anything, but the occasional note that you're still around is appreciated.

I have no preference, whatever makes you more comfortable, if you feel like you need to fill the "awkward silence" then do so :3 In terms of posts though, I do prefer a whole new post for updating a pic rather than updating a previous submission, just in case something is changed and it makes a previous comment irrelevant. Just my opinion on that :)

You can or you can ignore it tbh. At the end of the day you still get my money. Although, if you went silent for a few months without any update or pictures I would very likely unsub. You are more than active enough.

I prefer communication from those I patronize, so please keep in touch.

I'd rather you keep in contact, even just a quick paragraph, than not. It doesn't need to be art; just a notice that you're still kicking is good enough. With that said, I hope you get to feeling better soon! I know the feeling of just being unmotivated, and your favorite hobbies feeling like a slog. Do what you need to do, don't force anything, and come back to it when you're ready. Your mental health matters just as much as your physical.
