. . .

Thank you so kindly for the lovely message! That's so touching, from being a Sfeer Theory loyalist (it will continue, I promise, this year just kicked my ass) to a fandom appreciator. I'm surprised how much KCD is eating my mind alive so expect more fanart lol

2025 was a hard year but your comment here truly put a smile on my face as we reach the end of it.

my ko-fi acts as my main art account, I post literally everything there from WIPs to finished work very frequently. if you follow me for my work you are seriously missing out

I try to keep as much public as possible, I only paywall story spoiler stuff, so you can give it a follow to keep track

I mean, a $5 sub means the world to me, especially in 2025 when I have no income except for patron support, but I do want to share my art as freely as possible so it feels like a choice to support me, not a mandate!

I don't like WIP art being spread around, so putting it on ko-fi where a "repost" button doesn't exist keeps the art in one place, and my SM can just focus on promo

that said since so much of my WIP is longcon so I don't have a lot of completed work to share on SM these days.

also, decided from now on that I'm posting full VODs of art streams exclusively on kofi for monthly $5 subscribers! a lot of the stuff I draw on stream is technically spoiler art and I want to give some kind of reward/gratitude to those who are kind enough to support me

give my kofi a follow

so for 2025 I'm indebted $10K in taxes, panicking over evaporating income and an impromptu move that has maxed out my cards. my only way forward is patronage from those who want to see my art continue.

all it takes is $5 a month. it may not seem like a lot but if enough people care, it adds up fast.

I recently had to change therapists because my previous one retired from counselling so I just had to find a new one. I tend to search locally (ideally walking distance) but it's common practice these days for therapists to work virtually.

As for seeking out and advice on how to find one, my thoughts are to not prioritize 'fixing' as your reason. Like, don't go to therapy because you want to be 'fixed' or you want a situation to be 'fixed'.

Therapists aren't answer machines, and ime if you approach them like that then you'll either be very frustrated or potentially have a negative encounter with a therapist who has an agenda to impose on you rather than support. If you see them as someone with answers, then you trust them to know more than you, and you prevent yourself from disagreeing or thinking independently if you aren't sure of what they are suggesting.

ime therapy is best approached as needing a friend to understand you and care about your problems with you, in that way they help soundboard solutions or strategies with you on how to navigate your situations, people or feelings, and you also feel way more free to push back or disagree with them. I tend to disagree and argue with every therapist I ever had and it's never been a problem. In fact, it's probably led to my most productive sessions because debating helps bolster how to better communicate complex POVs and help you value your own. Therapists are people too, and they learn from their patients' way of thinking as much as their patients learn from theirs.
