October will be a free Patreon month + Hiatus announcement

Life has been kicking my butt, and it feels like I’m suffocating. I’m going on hiatus for at least a couple weeks to recover and try to fix this situation.

Patreon billing will be paused for next month as an apology for not being able to put out any content this September. That means that the month of October will be 100% free for you if you remain subscribed. But of course, please don’t feel pressured to remain subscribed if you need to leave for whatever reason.

The commissions I’m currently working on will still be finished in the next two weeks, but they might take more time than usual.

I seriously thank you for your incredible kindness in waiting for me to recover, and I apologise for not responding to your wonderful messages of encouragement. I promise I read every single one of them, but I was lacking the mental strength to put words together. I’ll work in the next few days to get back to all of you.

If you’d like to know more of what’s happening, you can read below. I’m afraid this might be a bit of oversharing, but I’d like to be transparent about what’s happening.

Many years ago, I left my home country (Italy) to move to Canada with my husband, leaving the rest of my blood-related family behind. In the safety of my new home, I came out as trans and transitioned.

At the start of September, I learned that my grandparents don’t have a lot of time left. They’re weak and suffering badly from dementia. My relatives have been pressuring me to come back to Italy and take care of them before they pass away. However, they also want me to keep my gender identity “private” to not shock my grandparents.

Coming back to my home country, even just for a little bit, would already be a big challenge, between the economic costs and the immigration issues with leaving the country while not being a full Canadian citizen yet. But this added request really makes it hard for me to take this trip.

I love my grandparents to the moon and back, and I would sacrifice a lot to help them, just as they did for my family. I just don’t know if I’m able to do something like this, at this time.

It’s a difficult situation. I feel like no matter what choice I’ll make, I’ll lose a part of myself. With all this stuff circling in my brain, my drive to draw horny stuff has been… yeah. Nonexistent.

I don’t think it’s okay for something like this to consume my thoughts and stop me from doing the kind of work that I love. So I’m committed to make a decision and recover to a more healthy mental state in the next two weeks. I’m aware this is still a lot of time, but I want to make sure to come back with a strong foundation, and be ready for anything else that might come my way.

Thank you for reading, everyone. Please enjoy the start of autumn, and I hope to see you all in October, with tons of horny art. Maybe spooky horny art! That would be nice. :)
