Personal Update!
First thing I want to say... this isn't an excuse, just an honest explanation of where I've been.
This is going to be a long post and a lot of yapping, so feel free to skip if you're not up for it!

story start about 5–6 months ago and it's been genuinely rough. that also cause me some health problems and a burnt out.
It started with my old apartment. a new neighbor moved in with five cats in a small room and really poor hygiene. the smell wasn't making it into my room, so I let it go until cat fleas started showing up in the hallway and catching on me whenever I stepped out.
I got bitten, and because I'm prone to allergies, my skin ended up getting infected without me realizing it. I thought it was just a bad allergic reaction. Turns out the rash had spread across half my body and had been infected for months by the time I figured it out.
I reported it to the apartment admin with photo proof. They did try to help, but things escalated more than they should have, my neighbor wasn't happy about the report (their cats weren't even allowed there to begin with). What they did next was quietly place a bunch of mothballs and let the fumes seep into my room for months. I reported it four or five times. admin kept handling it in the most half-hearted way possible, and I ended up inhaling that for weeks. at least it didn't reach my bedroom when I'm sleep, but it was still a constant distraction.
with the infection and the fumes, I genuinely couldn't work.
Once it finally stopped, I decided to move out and went straight to the doctor because it had gotten bad. The last month or two I lost a lot to moving costs, old rent, medical bills, and fixing up a room at my parents place so it's livable for me. I ended up with a small debt that'll sort itself out in a few months, but it meant commissions had to take priority over Patreon and personal art. I can't lie that I start to feeling burned out.
But the good news I'm recovering! My skin is so much better, the infection is gone, and I'm starting to get back into working properly again. I'm doing my best to catch up on everything.

That said, I won't be able to update Patreon properly just yet, not until things are more stable. I'm so so so sorry about this. It's completely okay if some of you decide to unsub, I totally understand, and I genuinely value every bit of your support I don't want you to waste your money for nothing
Thank you so much to everyone who stuck around and kept supporting.
If you read this whole thing, genuinely, thank you!
