August | Blog

As mentioned previously, I will be deleting all of my NSFW and "borderline" images from my galleries on the 28th (delayed a few days due to various circumstances). The folders marked as "to purge in August" are mostly accurate, but I might remove more as a precaution, so save everything you like. Apologies for the delays on drawings, I've been in stuck in a loop since I learned about the bill where I keep switching between the two states of "why bother, I need to delete this later anyway" and "draw out of spite anyway, the bill will definitely get blocked because the wording is too broad".

Next month in addition to October, I will be temporarily suspending payments on SubscribeStar to give myself time to catch up and take a small break. Requests will be suspended until November, but commissions will remain open. I wanted to have a catchup month earlier, but due to the whole bill situation, I had decided to give more time for NSFW requests to come in. I've felt like I was going to explode for a while. I also start college classes for the semester today, so we'll see how that goes in terms of time spent.

Rentry:

I've started mirroring my SubscribeStar blogs/long posts on my Rentry page I made. It took me a long time to notice you need to actually log in to view those text posts, so this is for convenience. I will add this one to the page shortly after this post gets published.

Health:

Nothing.

Dad's Health:

The doctor's decided he's going to have the drainage tubes in him for a long time; he will get checkups every month or so now. The soda wasn't flat at the VA this time.

Poll:

I'm working on a couple of the top images from the earlier poal poll; mostly the ones I think I can figure out something quickly enough. There will definitely be a Snivy image or two.

Rambling Continued:

I'd really rather not delete everything I've saved over the years, but due to the sheer size of my image folders, it would be very impractical to go through it all and trim it, so I'm just going to burn it all down. I would do the same with 100% of my artwork and stop drawing entirely to be honest, but I know that's too much of an overreaction on my part, so I'm trying my best to not do that.

An important lesson for anyone reading this: Save everything you like. You never know when the creator/platform will remove it for any number of reasons, anywhere from the artist going insane to the government deciding one day that erotic drawings are bad all under the guise of "protecting the children" (but now they have to waste resources on cartoon drawings instead of real crimes). Not everyone is going to reupload images to a random booru like e621, which is still subject to takedown requests.

Thank you for the support.
