Important Update, PLEASE read
To those who haven't seen my posts on social media, then for a short update, Brimstone and Roses will be put on an indefinite hiatus.
I can't go into detail, but my experiences worked on the comic and especially with the company have hurt me so deeply to the point where I am not only burnt out, but have had extreme mental health issues due to- surprise, surprise- my anxiety and depression spiking out of control from lack of internal support from WT.
The series is not cancelled, it will be continued. I just need time to heal from how much damage WT has done to me as a creator. I hope to god that next year things will be better, but for now, I am taking a break from making episodes.
So what does this mean for Patreon?
I am still going to make stuff for Patreon, BnR included. I LOVE Brimstone and Roses and Bea and Lazareth so fucking much, y'all have no idea, and my experiences in the industry haven't taken that from me.
My initial stress and insecurity regarding my work have lessened thanks to support from my amazing friends, family, and peers, and I'd really like to thank everyone who sent me messages through social media and even Patreon. I've not responded to most of them, but just know I did read them. Thank you.
Patreon will continue as usual, I will make a stream announcement later this month, and honestly, hopefully I can focus and get a backlog of content made for y'all now.
In even more exciting news, 2 of my shops will be opening this month. Patrons will get a discount code and first dibs on merch. I will give a better update and store promo once I have set dates, but it should be soon.
The Laz plushies should be arriving any day now, but Jessie has to make minor corrections to them (they were missing the white eye shine, so she is hand gluing the white minky fabric circles onto each plushie's eyes). She is expecting to start shipping them to y'all by December.
tl;dr: Brimstone and Roses is paused because of burnout and internal issues with the company due to severe negligence. Patreon will continue as usual. Two of my merch shops will be opening this month, and the Laz plushies should be arriving mid-November and be ready to ship to y'all by mid December.

What can we do to make things better for you?
Thanks for the concern; honestly supporting me on Patreon is the best way to help, but I do appreciate the thought so much <3
