Upcoming Changes

Hi there chippies,

This will be a bit of a long read, but I would appreciate it if you could please read it all.

This has been on my mind for a while now, and with some positive feedbacks for pantsu pic last night (Sprung Potatoes+), I thought I would mention a couple of things.

Firstly, many of you may know already but, I live with a Japanese family.

Mother, Aniki, and Imouto. Although I refer to him as Aniki here, he is younger than me. The children are both students. We have recently moved into a cheaper, and a smaller apartment. Mother has a stage four breast cancer, and was told by the doctor in Japan (before moving to NZ) that she would live for 6 months. She has fought hard, and has lived for 7+ years now.

Yet in the recent months, her condition has started to slowly worsen. The darker future has been on my mind, and I am trying to prepare for the worst. Currently, she is not bedridden or anything, but we can see she is getting weaker.

I want to start mentioning Patreon on other social platforms, even though I have generally been refraining to do so as I didn’t really want to advertise. When this was created, it was purely for the chippies who wanted to support me with money, a platform to support me on. Before, if you really wanted to give me money, it was a donation via PayPal, which was also not something I advertised.

However at this stage, I have decided it is best to change the attitude/mindset and be a little more money-driven. I am certain that when it is the three of us living in this apartment, I would be the head of the house paying for most of the rent and bills. I want to continue my usual life without worrying too much on money, and my goal of purchasing an iPad for drawing is still there.

I want more people to know about me having Patreon. Even if the person pledges for me for a month, it would make a difference for us.

We don’t know when the worst would hit. Mother said possibly within the next 6-12 months, but she is still fighting hard and hopefully it would be much long after than she said.

I don’t mean to attach a sob story to attract people, but rather I wanted you to all know the reason why I have changed the attitude and why I would start mentioning Patreon a little more often elsewhere. (Although, I am still not sure how often I should mention it. Once a week? Fortnightly?)

I am still Nyanna though, and the core part of me hasn’t changed.

Like I said at the start, this is something that has been on my mind for a while now, but it was not something I could just say without asking for permission, as I thought this would be more of a private matter to them, than myself.

Hence, Aniki has also read through this post before bringing it here.

With this said, I am currently thinking of a new tier.

The pan👏tsu✌️ tier.

Pantsu pic once a month. It would still be the same potato quality you have been experiencing for the past year.

・You will have access to all posts including rejects.

・The space will be limited, but I am not sure how many yet.

・I have asked on Discord, and while $20 was offered, I want to put it lower; maybe $14~$15 as mentioned by a few others as well (EDIT: This is now set as $20). I don’t want to make it too expensive, as while I did say I want to be money-driven, I also don’t want you to stop enjoying because it’s getting too expensive.

If you have read this far, thank you so much for giving me your time.

Any thoughts or opinions are welcome as always.

Yours sincerely,

Nyanna
