Also, I decided NOT to sell the Garbage Pals glitter pin publicly. I'm not fond of how it turned out so I'm going to keep it private, and I'll probably have a do-over for a similar design later.

BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT IT YOU CAN BUY IT SUPER CHEAP

As for the change of plans:

I'm pausing my Patreon for April

This means you will not be charged for April, but it also means I won't be mailing out any stickers either. I may still be posting though.

I don't like putting my personal stuff out there because it feels kind of weird, but I also want to be transparent about why things have slowed down for me, at least for now.

On the 17th my cat Pearl passed away. She was asthmatic. I knew cats with asthma would have their life shortened but I had no idea we'd lose her at 10 years old(we had her for 9). I was optimistic even though her condition was getting worse and worse. In spite of the suffering she was going through, she did her best to stay with us and be as loving and silly as always until that morning when her breathing turned terrifying. We rushed her to the vet and after some tests we learned there was absolutely nothing that could be done and they were concerned they were going to lose her any minute. We were with her. We will be getting her ashes back soon.

She was such a big part of my every day life that it feels weird not having her there. Near the end Flare and I were working so hard to pay for her vet bills and medications to keep her with us as long as possible. The big plans I had were shifting around making sure we kept up with everything. I'm sure Flare's joked on stream about how expensive she was. We didn't mind though, because we loved her. I'm sure some folks on FA noticed me rapidly pelting out YCHs. I don't like to make it obvious when I'm desperate so I avoided the "reasons" and just DID. I worked faster and harder.

After losing Pearl that energy kind of evaporated off of me. I know life will move on and things still need to get done but I really don't want to draw for a little bit. I want to grieve just a little longer. I knew something like that would hit me hard but I never expected for this to happen this year.

She was so special and had such a huge and funny personality. It hurts knowing I'll never again see those big eyes looking over the edge of my desk as if to ask permission to jump up.

Thanks for reading even though you really didn't have to!
And of course, thanks so much for your kind support!
