First of the month comin' around and I'm so jazzed to be at this point. Outside genuinely feels like spring with the birds and the bunnies coming back full force, and all the snow has melted off the ground so it's bright and sunshine-y! It's been giving me like... ALL of my energy and motivation back. I always forget how hard seasonal sads hit me until the spring rolls around again lol

Today I didn't do a whole lot of art, but that's ok! I made a new section on my website for the new YCHs, and then added the new ones to gallery so that they're available for purchase. Opened up commissions, paid bills, queued up art posts, squared away all the bits that needed squaring away, the whole 9 yards. I think it might actually be better for me to make sure my 1st of the month tasks fall on a Monday because I'm infinitely more motivated on Mondays. I also did the monthly raffle and this month's winner is:
Truemac! Congratulations!

I've got a BIG workload this month and a good section of it is gonna be cramped into just a few weeks because I'll actually be out of the state from the 16th-19th. I'm actually going to go visit my boyfriend for the first time and I am so excited and also so scared because holy shit I've never been to Wisconsin, all I know is that they love cheese. I need to brush up on my Wisconsin lore or something so I don't sound foolish! ANYWAY plane tickets and rental cars aren't cheap so things are gonna be tight on my end, if you're looking for a commission the funds are going to a great cause this month (me eating cheese :'D)

I still don't have any larger projects going on. Right now I still want to keep things sparse and focused on just getting commissions turned over and making new YCHs. I have a lot of fun with them and they're not nearly as large a time investment as other things, and it guarantees that I'm able to bring my own creative flair to the table, which makes me super happy. I'm kind of thriving off of it right now, ngl. I'm HOPING that things will start to turn and I'll have more energy soon, but to be honest I've been in housing limbo for the last 2 years, trying (and subsequently failing three times) to buy a house and at this point I'm just fucking tired. I keep putting my own life and my own wants on hold because "oh,  I'll be moving soon anyway" but that shit blows. I don't want to do that anymore. I have some new things going on in my personal life that've got me excited and I actually want to put some energy into that, and making my own life successful rather than just my business. It's been hard to look at myself and see me making any amount of money and going "No, that needs to go in the house fund" and never actually doing anything for me with it. So this month I'm testing the waters; I'm gonna go see my boyfriend, I'm gonna eat cheese, and I'm gonna try to make sure I have a better work-life balance because boy howdy I sure haven't had one in a while.

I'll talk to you guys soon, this week I plan on getting lots of good art done and am excited to share it with ya'll <3

I will no longer draw vore content.

Full disclosure: I had a breakdown last week on Wednesday. I tried my damnedest to power through it on Thursday and keep that shit to myself, but I was pretty much nonfunctional from the time I logged out until yesterday afternoon. I've been doing my best for the last few months and sometimes you can just like. Ignore shit? And sometimes you can't.

I've been working on this with my therapist for a few months now, and I cannot stress enough how much I wish this was not the case, and how many times and ways I have been trying to avoid this altogether. I had thought the previous boundary I set of not creating it for myself and still taking commissions for it would be alright, but last week has shown me that for my own mental health, I can't do it at all. I'm not getting into specifics, reasons are my own, yadda yadda, the bottom line is the same: I just won't.

If you have a vore commission waiting, it will be canceled and refunded the full amount. Bank totals will be fully refunded immediately, cash refunds will be processed within a month. If you would like to use the funds you've already paid to order something different, then I am all ears!

If you come at me pissed or trying to change my mind, I'm not gonna be a part of that. I appreciate all patience and understanding in advance. I really wish things were just.... different. But wishing they were hasn't helped me so far, and I gotta do things for myself. There's a bajillion other types of content out there that I will draw, and want to, and hopefully you'll still find joy in that with me. If not, I can no longer help you; go find a vore artist.

If you have been supporting me for this content exclusively and you are unhappy with this decision, that sucks, and you are free to cancel your subscriptions and/or leave this space. That is your decision, just like this is mine.

I'm changing my username to Scrublust.

There's a lot of reasons behind this!! I'm tired of being mistaken for a girl, I'm wanting to put more of myself into my work, and I'm wanting to branch out with what I do and where I take my content. I feel very restricted with the name HungrySuccubus; it's tied to over a decade of pigeonholing myself and building a brand on content that doesn't feel authentic to me, and it's become so unhealthy for me to keep trying to show up for work when it feels like I'm putting on a faux-person-suit and trying to smile through it.

I spent about 5 hours total yesterday writing down things I want to do with my business and myself in 2024 and this is one of the big ones that's going to open me up to being able to create more authentic work that makes me feel more comfortable with myself, which will in turn lead to me feeling comfortable with other people. It's about taking off the mask, for me, and I want to finally do that.

Transition to this new username will be gradual as I slowly work out what I need to do and how I need to do it, but I hope to be fully transitioned to it in about 6 months. Any updates or changes that I make will be announced here, there will be threads to follow to find me on platforms, etc. No one will be left wondering.

What that means for this page is still up in the air; SubscribeStar doesn't allow for name changes that will change your url. I've contacted them and am waiting to hear back from them, but it's possible that I'll be forced to make a new page. Should that happen, you'll all be updated immediately, and crossposting will continue for a few weeks while things settle! I still plan on having a SubscribeStar, it's just a matter of where I'll be able to set up that shop again.

Content will not shift wildly, the only thing that's going to happen is there's going to be more of it, and in a billion more aspects that make me happier and make me feel better about myself as a person and as a creator. I want to be able to share stories about my OCs, content about them as people, more topics and subjects that I actually feel passionate about, and this is gonna help me do that. Authenticity, y'know?

I hope that ya'll will continue to support me with this big move. I'm really excited to prioritize myself in the future!

Thanks for listening, thanks in advance for understanding, and thanks for being here for as long as you have!!
