Apparently FA doesn't like when you make Journals including information about your ransacked and beaten up psyche, because the previous journal got automatically removed, or reported either way. Doesn't matter any way or another, my opinions and matters I discussed there still stand, I haven't suddenly, out of a miracle started to feel better, I'm still miserable, but life goes on.
For quite some time now I've been thinking that constantly clogging my gallery or other socials with YCHs is just not good, I'm always just burning my brain into thinking what the next batch would be, not using that time to draw some other things instead. I also leave them to pretty much a coin flip, since sometimes I think they're really good but don't sell, sometimes I think they're garbage but people buy almost every slot, sometimes I think they'll sell and they sell, sometimes I think they won't and they won't, but it all pretty much comes to luck, is what I feel. Thing is that I still need to make money out of something, and leaving it out to luck is something that has given me anxiety from the start, and it has only gotten worse with current situations.
I'm planning on both do more miscelaneous fanart, and two, get requests via paypal donations, which is something I explain here. I'll reduce or even stop doing YCHs to focus more on these, because as I explain in the google document: "I want to do this to make characters that people would already be familiar with, or would like to see more of, instead of some obscure, Idk, demigod or something out of the deepest places of someone's fiction. I believe it'd appeal to a wider range of people."
I just overall think that doing the donation thing is better for both parties, it's still cheaper than my cheapest commission price (or the YCHs for that matter), you get to request a drawing you'd personally like to see, and if not, you'd still get to see what I do for others that have donated to request something to me (and hopefully convince you to donate some yourself). I don't have to burn my brain thinking about how to litter my gallery with the next YCH batch, and hopefully, hopefully make money out of it, cause again, right now I'm the only source of income in this house, and I'd be eternally grateful if you could help me (and I insist, you do get something in return.)
Although I'll keep on taking commissions, I neither can count on those solely, as those are too far and few in between.
Anyways, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this will work, cause it's currently my last card in this heinous hand I've been given.

But simply put will be here for you Donya, and it will be great to see you produce more work that your happy with first and foremost but also of course something you can make a living out of too. Of which ah I might come up with an idea or two to ask of you to do at some point.
But hope things get better overall.
