For the comic, and other art.

A few years ago, I was pumping out art like nobody's business - commissions, stickers, pages of the comic, NSFW poll pairings, etc. etc. When I went back in my folders and realized it had been since midway through 2025 when I last did a NSFW poll piece, and the last one before *that* had been in 2024, and then back to 2023... well, it put a few things into perspective for me.

Long story short... it's been hard maintaining the level of whimsical goofery that most of my work entails and honestly requires while I've been watching my homeland and the land I want to call home both speedrunning fascism over the last few years. I don't think I realized quite *how* much I had been slacking, but honestly, I have been.

I know none of you follow me because you're expecting a fresh piece of smut every single day or anything, and I've never (I think) put up the expectation that my output is in any way tied to how much money people throw at me or anything like that, but I still felt like I ought to at least lay this out in the open so you all know I'm not just fading from existence or giving up on the fandom or any shit like that.

I love what I do, and I love making you all smile, groan dejectedly at my terrible jokes or moan sensually as you jerk your stuff silly-style to my art, and I'm never going to stop drawing. It's just been... tough, and I guess I didn't realize how badly it was affecting me.

But I have, and always will have, the support and love of my husband, friends and family, and that does make it all that much more tolerable.

We'll get through this shit, and I'm not about to let a cabal of bigoted billionaires quash my love for being a Silly Little 'Bold on the internet any time soon.
