im back :)))) (kinda)

Hello there! I'm alive, somehow. It's been a bit since I was active on here for reasons I scribbled onto a napkin and threw out the window last time I posted something on here, but I think I'm in a much better spot mentally as of now, which is pretty neat :)

I kinda realized that trying to prioritize patreon as my main reason for doing art stuff was making me really miserable and trying to force myself to work on stuff I didn't like made me really hate what I was doing. So, I decided to take some time and work on commissions and other stuff besides drawing and it's helped a lot. I also decided to change things up slightly in order to facilitate a better attitude with regards to my work. 

Pretty much, I'm going to (at least attempt to) reduce the amount of stuff I actually do for patreon specifically and keep it more in the background for now. This doesn't mean I'm going to disappear for centuries at a time like previously, just that I'll be focusing on other stuff primarily. I still have some ideas for cool stuff I want to do that'll be up on here first and foremost, but I'd rather let that stuff be made naturally when I feel ready to do it, rather than feel like I *have* to keep pushing myself to be more ambitious for the sake of making stupid numbers on the internet go up.

All that being said, the tier setups here will be pretty much unchanged aside from Mint Chip, which I'll be altering to focus on a second character poll instead. Members of this tier will be able to submit a character to be added to a list of options for a poll exclusive to Mint Chip tier. There might be some other stuff too if I can think of anything but as always suggestions are welcomed for how I can improve stuff over here :)

Unfortunately I won't be able to actually get working on implementing this stuff for a while, most likely not until the start of next month - I have a minor surgery coming up that'll put me out of commission for a good while (don't worry, I'll be fine (probably!)) but I wanted to at least get you all caught up to speed. 

I'm really sorry for disappearing for so long, I just hope I've been able to help you all understand. Thank you as always for your support, it means more to me than you know! <3
