cannot reply to LENS comments atm

had to take partner to ER,

very sudden and no reason, but thanks for the comments. i'll try to repost later, comments were important!

sleepy, must rest now

I'n sad The LENS will run out but I can post som again tonight, I been up since yesterday so I get back to you all after that 🧡

Starting some tryons now ❤️

Starting in on some tryons...I didn't like how this one came out...

the base is material from couple years ago, but the newest delivery of red was a slightly darker color! dammit, so cups are darker.

So I like the fit but I don't like it at ALL to share yet 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂 skipping instax LENS for this one until i remove,recut ,redart and reattach new cup set❤️

NEXT!

instax non-live photo/LENS attempt

I wanna test it tmrw eve with Fara, less Live and more "behind scene excuse to interrupt tryons " kinda style. 😅 I'll make LENS on the spot and post. Red gear since I just worked on 3 approaches to bunnysuit and ... they all red!

Not live because I need phone to see what the instax can see, the timer is like 5 seconds. It might go for like an hour? maybe 2 if I have to cut quick vids. I just know how these things go. (might love a fit,might hate it and ditch)

So,Discord for chat, Patreon for any video, their live doesn't really exist,not ready for live here. Ask me for a bad but unique wallet sized print too! I want to send to YOU guys esp. Better photo ops when not testing, but you know ❤️

You can find the instax online, anazom has the instant film also

Winter ends soon: SILVER GEAR

LENS up of Fara with Silver gear variants.

I need to remake/replace the dark grey Silver because it stretches the most and loses shiny fast. So its basically gone as of last night.

Easy reason why, and you can plainly see

Lots of taxes...sticky schedule

I'm prepping CDs and the calendar giveaway stuff to go out tmrw ir day after.

Taxes are complicated for me, its 60-80 hrs and I still have a tax guy...which I might not need to arrange but with legal and all, I need to put in exta work to stay safe and protected.

That being said, I miss winter cuz it was only this week and ...maybe winter solstice. I'm gonna cut some Fara Winter vids, snag soms screenshots from last year and combine with a few extras from yesterday! YESTERDAAAAY 🧡 ...ok its like a whole 52 seconds worth

NO VIDEO plan, for those wondering

I do not have the "plan" Patreon demands to support video.

This is onviously why they are so difficult with LENS and want people to ditch it.

I'm not paying money for thwir video service, especially based on its performance (reviews) and their 5year history of failure to keep up as it is.

I miss vine, I also miss periscope, both destroyed by twitter and replaced with nothing. I know vine would have grown and flourished seeing tiktok.

Wither way! Gifts collected aince 2022 holiday but health was so bad we couldn't stream from Halloween until this SUNDAY.

I've updated here of course, but the Live opening of gifts is a dedicated ceremonial thing, even if I can't talk. THAT's my video , that's my fav place to be, that's the product of ALL THE THINGS, and efforts from supporters/friends/pham.

ok back to taxes, hour 55 here, of ~80.

Just silver gear pic

Thought it was important to share 2 of the the main 3 silvers.

I've had to make the navy blue one 3 times, the material is not good without a lining, I don't like linings. I don't actually use this much.

The warmer grey silver is better, it's not so light that it looks WHITE like the winter silver.

The third silver is like the winter silver, but not "pin dot" , so its more foil.

Just thought you guys would enjoy that.

Black material is almost the same deal...but I could talk about favorite colors of MY wardrobe all day, but it's only background.

reply to LENS - DONE! things got busy

Like Hazel Raven said, notifications don't go out for posted LENS.

sorry no representative photo, just reminder.

ALSO: January ends so if you need to tap out before patreon does the charge thing, I strongly tapping out esp if you need to. I learned long ago that it does only harm if you never take care of your own needs before others.

A couple peeps volunteered some extra without doing the tier thing, I wasn't really aware you could jump like that (I made the supporter only tier last year, but I'm gonna keep it) So that's amazing generousity! Jump bars like that all you want, it feels like you guys know what you're doing, and the timing is excellent.

kinda why i'm extra salty about the lack of notifications 😤

^ YOU know what this iz

LENS comments didn't show until too late

No one's fault, as usual patreon is making it hard on us in purpose. I'm noting them as difficult for probably the 20th time.

when generous patron people put in a complaint its usually the creator that gets the blame forwarded on them but if creators complain we're downplayed as doing something wrong when it's clear what the issues are: fix the site/app.

especially the application.

I still see the website is being difficult with LENS too, ie cant see or write comments. That's pathetic, cuz I see more and more fees taken out while service disrupted on a regular basis. It feels like a small claims case almost.

While I'm mad at their lazy, blame forwarding asses, I'm gonna repost LENS again. I saw ONE, and it was about double layering for weather...dont feel obligated to comment, but if some do, definatly enjoy the longer LENS that those comments enable. Still salty about that restriction, jeez patreon making it hard to like you let alone rely on you 😒

Medical week, improve?

Had blood draw and stuff yesterday so no feel like play dress up, tired and gonna re-nap.

More tests tmrw ✌️

Stoopy Health stuff still

I got some leads/help with my stuff.

I have migraines,and especially dizzyness nowdays. It's not always with winter but common. Also checking my other health issues. It's not just some easy headache thing.

We have so many health issues that it hurt my streaming/convention/even tryon vids. Since so many doctors misled me and tossed me away, I didn't get care, it makes you give up almost. Only by helping my partner was I able to get it back together and say no, there's something wrong. So We'll see, but for NOW, less stress which is HUGE ...stress can end up BEING a reason to end up in the ER, stacked on health issues especially.

Things are ok with my partner, she stable again but covid with her health issues is basically the recipe for casket. So that stress is lifted a lot, when we already miss streaming and have to mentally deal with the magnitudes of recent, its even heavier.

I have 3 specialists next week for instance, so close to being ok but yet so far. I need PT also, no idea if a surgery or etc but we'll see! Pain I can take, it tells me something is up, but what's up is the daily question.

btw NO MEDICAL ADVICE, chances are, the most complicated thing anyone could think of ... is the most simple thing for us to consider, and we knew or tossed it out 10 yrs ago. This is an update of the struggles that we go through and still try to keep going.

Either way I'm dealing and able to cook and stand now so , so far so good! I'mm gonna try a video game or something cuz its been a couple weeks. I miss playing games with some of you! Soon I think, after this week? might have to test stream some. ❤️

Update: health issues at home

What is this Jan still? Sorry, since christmas day we been having health issues.

Wanted to let you all know!

Thursday I almost did the opening of a couple gifts from last year, I got some energy back but I stare at the gifts ...unopened...thoughtful... and get very sad that people care and I can't give my 100%. I tried Fara on and was like ok, good good. So maybe similar outfit for next stream.

edit: not Thursday, Wednesday. We been going for so long yesterday isn't the same yesterday anymore.

Supporters make multiple worlds go round, not just 1 here. I hate to be a downer, but we kinda just.. cry many times per day. Only because of how hard it is now, and then how awsome ppl are...a roller coaster like that is hard to ride and not feel.

urgent Covid case at home

This time my partner is sick and she never left the house....We are having a hard time again.

I just wanted supporters to know.

Since 22nd??? she was sick, it ramped fast and since she has more health issues than anyone I know, it's a big deal.

I had it last year,with kidney stone attack that lasted 3 months (nov to feb). But she did not get it then because of my practices. I'm hoping not to get it again, but she's the one i'm worried about.

So I'm not streaming/video/etc until she's ok. I do want to make another thank you vid like last year, with those 3-4 sec clips per supporter? yeah gonna try dat while i can.

dats the news

Extra Calendars for you!

If you didn't get one or it got lost in mail lemme know! I have extras for reasons.

I also reserve a few because I would like to make sure everyone who wanted one of ANY TYPE, could have 2... or 3 or even a DUPE!

Say the word and it's in the mail. Yes, you can have 2 more if want! These were the LEAST stressful to make because I limited time and content, please take advantage of that and tag one! By Xmas it will go to public for the last remaining undibbed.... UN DIBBED!

I'm forcing 2023 to be done right 👊

nub dibs

Posted LENS.... and fell asleep

sorry guys, I saw 2 comments and loved that.

I posted video reply to each and then fell asleep....I slept 14 hours cuz another weird 26 hr day.

Do you guys like or at least roll with the sequence of chopped LENS videos that make up a longer vid? I'm posting more now to show you. If it's glitchy or has a terrible pause in between then let me know! I add music to the large main video and then slice that and save the files seperately before posting individually. If it sucks dirty monkeyass then fine, if not then fine, greyline fine… I want opinions cuz they matter!

Declined months?

I looked at some patron's status and instead of "former patron" some say "declined" and I'm ok with that if you guys are, but were you AWARE of it?

posting publically so you guys can check and see in case you havent seen posts in awhile

Little to nothing to give/send this year

I sorry.

I feel bad, but 1/2 calendars went out last week (just before my tooth implant procedure) , I expect the other half to be going out at the end of this week and then done. It's all late but I can deal.

I don't have calendars for anyone under the $5 tier. 😞 This year destroyed me with medical stuff almost every month. I lost MAJOR time. Solid fans/friends/supporters were a ray of hope.

I stressed about losing support by not being able to share so much, I stressed out often... and a couple people actualy complained in other places after donating like 2$(before fees and taxes) and demanding a wild ride of adult stuff,special attention,full how to reports and personalized videos... honestly fukem, that's not acceptable. I don't worry about people that don't read/don't care. I worry about disappointing veterans and loyal peeps giving me a donation or even a block of their TIME to help. It takes effort to go out of your way , to sign up to help someone else, I'd give my time back to those that care.

I would LOVE to send a postcard or 2 especially if you are new. I keep it at "choice character " cards only, not classic "holiday " cards. These are easy for me to send compared to larger envelopes and packages....cuz I have a hundred stamps! Also see pins, free for any of my supporters too (sm is 2.5cm/1in, large is like 5cm/2in).

So if any of my supporters would like a postcard and thank you note, ask! You ALL deserve a thing!

Let me respect you again the best way I can🧡

btw new phone case cuz gift card + sale = free

btw some lens up for new folk

in case you have LENS tier and up

MIGRAINE week and Imperfect calendar giveaway in Jan

They messed up a few covers on like every calendar, I have replacements getting printed, but the old ones either get trashed or given away, but not until year starts.

This is why I order one of everything first, then go in for the heavy stock orders afterwards 👊 I also improved it a LITTLE, the only issue was cover 🧂🧂🧂 go figure.

Less streasful this year by far! Doing great tbh!

Still, today is day 2 of a bad migraine...yesterday we were kinda forced to drive 3hrs in pre holiday nasty boston rush hour traffic.... orobablt what made today so bad. So I can barely write this stuff today but I'm bored and needed to at least tell everyone why I'm stuck doing nothin for 3 more days. I get these at least twice per month, its more than migrain too nowdays...probably from covid, leaves me exhausted just feeling like garbage. So if anyone else starts to get that and they had covid, talk to doctor, cuz I lost energy to take deep breaths (but I was doing laundry in tub) but please keep an wye on this stuff guys! talking about hero to zero , you guys mean too much.

Calendars: Addressing envelopes!

Depending on tier and how long at that tier you get a free cosplay calendar 2023.

5$ and up is a mini, 11.11$up is normal, 22.22 up both/any/all!.

Also, if you already got an album this year, then a calendar is probably out but you can if really want a mini and been here like all year, i don't care. (11.11+ tier already does).

There are 3 choices this year:

• Fara (small or wall)
• Original characters (small or wall)
• nothin! I would like to send a card at least?

See my storenvy and message me here with a choice pick! If you are a supporter HERE on patreon, Do not buy, just drop a link to the item in a message or tell me which one. For Some of you, it's like easy ... round 7. 😅

https://shocktress.storenvy.com/

Posted publically so anyone can kinda decide what they wanna do or know what they qualify for.

It's hard to do all the content/videos,etc and gifs/pics then stream and then still do albums and still do calendars. Time, money, patience etc. all that crap. So I leave it up to you guys to decide what you want

🧡😈🧡

2023 Calendars Limited to none

My 10th year in a row: If I cancel here or any orders on Storenvy etc, don't be surprised:

I WANT to make calendars, but I need specific interest in them to make it worth doing. These are great support mechanisms, I know people like them.

Patreon supporters of 5-6$ and up per month for half the year AUTOMATICALLY get a calendar if you want one ❤️🖤❤️ Some patrons got other things during that time, so between content it usually makes everyone happy (like any included albums).

I have same ol photos because my chances this year was destroyed, life was more than ruined when it came to getting anywhere in 2022: Health issues every other month on average, album 3 months late, time down the drain, money out the window for utilities etc.

Long story -> short: let me know if you'd like a 2023 cosplay calendar… because I WANT to make them, but my work time is short. It works out with no risk if I can send before holidays, so I need interest now, specifically character and outfit type (for non October months basically).

Even if you are a quiet person, tell me something.

Supporters: Feel free to screenshot, spam message pics! any short note from supporters its welcome af.

Backstory:

I most likely got covid by waiting in the lines during christmas holiday last year, I was sick all January and had to make meals, and help out my partner (who only got maybe 2-3 showers all month) , I had to hide in a room with just a bed , my phone and TV, wearing a mask and spraying alcohol every time I left/entered the room.... she never got sick, I caretake her since she is disabled.

While covid, I had massive kidney stones, a 3rd month of pain and issues which was scheduled intervention/procedure. That was over in Feb. July I ended up with a nasty bruise on my knee (these only happen if it's bad) along with some flu bug that week. Then July more heart issues, August I wore a heart monitor and before September started my tooth broke and I needed it removed , surgically not simply pulled. Sept I had dry socket and complications from the infection that restricted swallowing and opening my jaw for 3-4 weeks, (surgeon didnt want to give me antibiotics at the removal day but definatly tripled a normal dose the next week). Since summer I felt exhausted, I have a long covid thing, I didn't want to read into it much until it started pressing down. October was ok but just before the halloween live stream, post makeup, I tried to get up and legs failed ao I fell on the metal wig stand and jabbed my collar bone (I still have the bruise) it aggrevates my plexis muscles so a few days later after the covid vaccine in the OTHER arm I have some reactions and a lowsey evaluation on Monday from the vax. Then there's the summer heat and other ear/jaw/artery pains so thats just me.

You all know how the album was delayed over a series of coincidenses that conspired against me like a freaking team. Release date was 22Feb2022, most shipped 2months later. It's done at least and no promise was made for specific ship date, but I was planning that event for literally years.

• getting sick from can't happen again, I'm making the cutoff to ship/mail/post on Dec 1st.

So I gotta make these, have them shipped, and repack and send before Dec1st...which is basically "make them now", and we have to physically go to 3 appointments (including saturday), and another special date all this week. So before making any "outfit" or "changing a streaming setup" for holiday, these first. Postcards and prints are a serious biproduct of getting calendars made. It's all I can do right now anyway so let's do this.

Please let me know! It's important.

Do eeet now! There is no stress for me until mid NEXT week 🧡

Tradeoff for streaming

I spent hours making it, and it was from leftovers and not quite good materials.

Am sad, my heels crumched it while avoiding the 2 cables, 35feet long EACH coiled in room because I had to clean main room for partner to rest, didn't wanna leave her in my uncomfy bed.

But yeah, I need to do parts over anyway and the attachment was temporary.... so it fell off during stream. What a night 🧂🧂🧂🧂

The flexible stuff was in the middle and to make a longer tail I had to use crap tubing on each end, which isnt noticable on stream but anything else is obvious. Butbthe part I was keeping was what BROKE....so complete do over, need to but materials , all that.

Representative photo for stream in case you no haz twitters 🖤

I know not many people could watch the stream since everyone gets up for work Tuesday, but I was up until Tues afternoon, thanks to everyone who was able to make it, highlights are up in my Twitch account.

Live now

on twitch if you use it you know where to go

Ween stream planned, hold your coats

It might not be a popular thing but I gotta do it for feelz. ... a proper DeMonDay ... or something

945 to10pm , cooling off apt cuz it was warm today...Halloween used to be so nice n cold

I will have something soon

working on something simple, related to last post/spoiler. I would like to post the video from last bit, but its a bit long for LENS.

Anyone object to a twitter post in parts or Fanhouse post?

getting stuff made for shoots

really though it starts from the ground up

I was unhappy with current available stuff to make stuff happen...so I'm using old skulls to paper mache and copy for scene. Thanks to SetsuneW, better popsickle sticks to mix this stuff with, its VERY thick and tough

Thought inside scoop would be interesting 😏

started today.

also doing today...still setting up background for stream. I was trying for friday Stream, but looks like it will start on the 1st, Saturday.

incoming shocktober, lets get it

skulls, why you so glossy

Thunderstorm on first day of Fall

Just saying, can't stream tonight

but almost ready to get into it again.

I have had a lot of 22-30 hr days recently, sleeping 12 hrs after. But recently only like 5-6 hrs between so yesterday I slept all day and couldn't finish anything.

I'll be back up again before October for live streams 💜

Check your accounts/App/login!

Richard H just told me he couldn't see my LENS posts, we had to troubleshoot a little, and since the new "update" patreon decided to do, we found thatthey made it difficult on viewers to see creators stuff.

LENS is on a different page than normal posts. They used to be on the same page as far as content, so

• NOW you have to toggle LENS/posts

and

• watch out for this account toggle

I'll put some LENS up Monday, mosty throwback , so if you are newer? You get a taste of stuff before I used patreon....maybe something from just before this summer....maybe after if I'm lucky 😏

Thanks Richard for helping me QC, but also Setsune for input to verify ahead of time.

but yes! check your patreon app/access because honestly it's uncool. I'm starting to like Fanhouse more and more. Taking honest opinions of Fanhouse views. Feel free to say hate/love/etc. I have posted there to test 🧡

Wishlist time

You guys have been great.

I lost peeps because I had the health issues for 2 months (complications with one issue,can probably ignore the other) and further work to go but nothing as extreme as recent.

oh... and summer heat played its usual game.

Here's the wishlist for me/us. It's great because Throne is flexible and includes any site, any place, any currency and if the item is sold out or can't be sent: throne sends the money FOR it.

https://throne.me/u/shocktress

Thanks guys, I know times are tough, don't feel obligated.

Nurse LENS are up for relatable reasons. I'll try more this week k?
