Family Planning

Well, here we are. The first post after my petit disaster. With an influx of actual comic readers I have an urge to explain myself, perhaps more than I need to. I started this patreon because I needed more money & wanted to lock in the old pricing system before Patreon changed the rules. There was a soft launch where I only told people who follow me on Furaffinity & a couple of Discord servers that like more fantastical lewds.  I haven't hidden this aspect of my art, but I've also not promoted it.  I've been on the receiving end of the unique cruelty that the internet can bring to artists who stray from the safe subjects. It was... harrowing.  I've also seen people hounded relentlessly off of platforms, or harassed endlessly for choosing to walk away.  It's a no win situation, but I've learned, over years of being a loser, that in order to survive you redefine success.  Like people who rationalize being poor by saying "at least I have love".   I have found that a very small group of dedicated fans is just as good as a massive number of fans who don't really care if you disappear tomorrow.  When you don't stand out, find a niche & fill it as best you can.  

Anyway, I can't offer sketches to everyone like I do on my comic Patreon. I already can't keep up with all the requests, but I will still listen to yours & try to do as many as I can.  Oftentimes people request identical things anyway when it comes to fetish art.  Also, don't be afraid of me judging you if you think a request is too weird.  I may not do it, but I won't make you feel lesser for having asked.  I've been on the internet nearly since it started.  If you manage to ask for something I haven't heard of I'll be pleasantly surprised more than anything else.  That said, I obviously won't do anything that violates the TOS, or is illegal.  It feels like I shouldn't have to say it, but every so often someone disappoints me.  

I was already getting enough requests for stuff I wasn't comfortable sharing on the regular patreon that it seemed like I was doing a lot of work while not being able to showcase it.  So it's not like I didn't know there was a potential second audience hiding inside my first, like a perverted matryoshka.   I'm working through my own feelings sharing this with others.  It's very personal.  Knowing that at lest a few people share my interests, or at least won't hae me for having them, helps me open up.    That said I'm sure that at some point someone will attempt to use this stuff to mock, discredit, or even destroy me.  It's happened before.  The thing is that I don't feel like I have a lot to live for anyway, so whatever.  If someone wants to hurry me along to the grave so be it.  At least I finally got to have a little fun.  

So...  

This was a suggestion from a new user.  It shouldn't be considered canonical as far as the comic goes, but I will say that Carol, at least at one point in her arc, wants a family at least as large as hers.  Although I could certainly see her becoming the matriarch of a family much larger.  With the state of the world being the way it is I can certainly understand how a man might end up fetishizing something as normal as a woman actually wanting to fulfill her biological function.  But I'll leave that discussion for he political channel of the discord server this patreon doesn't have.
