Hello everyone!
Hope your 2025 has been going well so far, it's been a hectic 6 months, that's for sure!
Today, I want to share what's been going on and share some new ideas with you in this update, mostly upkeep and inspiration.
UPDATE EDIT: looks like I became an uncle sooner than expected! Spending this weekend with family, so the tentative dates for the stream will be next weekend!!
TLDR;

IRL - Caregiving
First, recently, my roommate has been having particular health issues, so I've been helping them out! :)
I won't go into detail, but for the most part I have been driving them to appointments and took some time to sit with them during an emergency week, last month.
Second, my wife has been job hunting since last September, and it is a rough time in general.
I have had to take on a lot of commissions, and frankly could still use some more. But I may also try to do some smaller & cheaper stream commissions like I used to, when I have available time to help with it all.
ALSO!!!!
Third, I will soon become an UNCLE! :D
My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are gonna have kids, very soon in fact, so I will be assisting with helping them out every so often as well.
While I'm happy to be there for them, it has caused my art output to slow down a bit, and wanted you all to know why that was.
And for at least the next month or so, I will be continuing to help them however I can, so I will be going over some basic changes for what to expect from me the rest of the year.
All of this is to say, the following changes are for the benefit of maintaining my Patreon and balancing life events.

My Gym Partner is an MMA Star - Short Hiatus
To start, I will be splitting the Gym Partner comic into two parts.
Consider this a 'Kill Bill: Vol 1 and Vol 2' situation, where there is one complete story, but due to the length of it and other factors, it will be divided and released separately.
There are a few reasons for this decision; 1. I have been working on this particular Variety comic for over a year already, and while the slow pace has helped to up the quality of the art, I need to take a break and recharge for right now. 2. As stated previously, I have been helping my roommate a lot, and it's been tricky to balance all the projects I have going on. 3. I am currently inspired by a new idea for a comic, and want to pursue it right away!
Don't worry though, I still want to complete Tommie's story, so I before I take the hiatus for it, I will make one more page and a cover as well to tidy things up. :)

New Comic Idea - My PCP Knows Best! (Prostate Care Provider)
I had a burst of inspiration yesterday, and desperately want to get started on drafting up designs and ideas for it.
Basic plot, a guy goes into a clinic to get checked out, and is met by a cute manic nurse who gives a wild exam. Themes of prostate play, pegging and SPH.
The comic will also be in manga tone gray & white, and revisiting my quicker, more raw style of comic production.

More Cup O' Love: Ristretto coming right up!
No changes! Just letting you know I will be making the next page this month as well! :D

Patron Rewards for JUNE
I haven't had a chance to make a post for patron rewards for June, so here it is.
The (Tentative) dates will be Saturday, July 5–Sunday, July 6
So for those that are in the higher reward tiers, please send in your email requests if you have not done so already!
I will try to do the livestream this weekend if possible, or if not, I will inform you of the plans regardless.

A big update that's for sure, thank you for reading it all!
I know there is a lot going on, and it seems like my workload is a lot, but I am making sure to also take care of myself as well and not overwork myself.
I will do my best to make sure everyone has something to look forward too here.
So thank you again for your support, it literally is keeping me going!
Lots of love,
Dsan
