Temporary pause and exciting update

Hey! Hope you're all doing well!

TLDR to stifle any worries: The pause is just a month or two, and is due to being trained for a new day job. Details below~

As I wrote in my Patreon discord channel a few weeks ago, I applied for a position as a part time bus driver in a town nearby recently, hoping that it would offer some financial stability in these turbulent times. They surprised me by not only hired me, but also offered me a temporary full time position until the end of April next year. I gave it some thought, and decided to accept their offer as it's an amazing opportunity to get our finances back on track for the long haul.

This, sadly, means my public commissions are on a full halt until the end of that contract, with the exception of potential livestreams if I can manage them.

Essentially, I will be spending all of my available art time, of which there should still be plenty, on Patreon illustrations and sugarcube commissions for the duration of my contract. You'll all be a bit extra special in other words :)
Once I know my routes and what my schedule will look like I can make further plans regarding potential streams and all that, but essentially if anything this just means you guys will get more art. So it's a win for you!

This brings us to the current pause tho! I've clicked Patreon's nifty "pause billing" button, which means you won't be charged your pledges for this month. You won't gain any extra sugar cubes, but you will still have access to all my Patreon content and the discord channel. Including any new art I post on here. This is to give me some breathing room while being trained for my new job. There's a lot of new routines and routes to learn when starting at a small depot like this, and I don't know how much art energy I'll have in me for the first week or three. So... this just felt most fair to both me and you.

Which begs the question; "Why potentially 2 months?!"
Well, during this pause I want to work through and clear the sugar cube commission list and bring that to a nice, clean slate, essentially. Ya'll have been patient with me, and I want to make sure that trust and patience are well earned. If I manage that in one month I'll unpause the page, but if I need two months for it, so be it :3

If anyone for whatever reason still want to support me during the pause there's my ko-fi page and be eternally in your debt, but there's no pressure to do so.

If there's any questions or comments shoot me a dm or post them in the discord channel and I'll do my best to answer. I just hope you won't, like... hate me for this decision >.>;;
