Some private words
Hey you lovelies! How are you doing?
Today we wanted to give you some transparency about our situation. We sadly won't be able to do any other streams before the convention and probably a good while after that, too 馃槩. We barely know right now what is happening around us, so we're not sure if we told you, but next to all the stuff we're going through right now our best friend hat to call the ambulance a lot last month and we had to bring her to the ER a couple of times, too. She was very sick and the doctors didn't know what was going on, so she stayed at our place and we took care of her every day. She's now in the hospital again and feeling better. That's a huge relief! But of course our routine and work went haywire. There's so much we have to catch up and we're truly at our limits. So we're trying to take it as slow as we can (without losing all of our income sob). Don't worry though, we're doing comparatively fine, we're just really really exhausted, mentally and physically, and feel just as guilty. We know that our streams are a regularity and an event to look forward to for some (Rose, too, by the way) just as Schpog's commissions, and we're so sorry that we can't offer that at the moment... We hope you understand....! We will do streams again eventually, but for now we have to catch up and recover.
Nothing will change about this Patreon, though! So people who don't visit the streams don't have to worry. With the exception of the polls maybe, we might skip them for next month. But every other post of the week will happen as usually!
Thank you so much for being here, being interested in our content and your support! Its so heartwarming to us and it also helps us financially. 馃挌 Though please don't feel obligated to stay here if you can't afford it! Your financial stability is important to us and we will never be hurt or angry if people need to unpledge because they have to take care, too. In the contrary, we're proud when you guys take care of yourselves like that!
So be kind to yourselves, do at least one little thing a day that makes you happy, don't forget to drink and take your meds (if you need any), tell your loved ones that you appreciate them and have a fantastic day!! 馃寛

it's good to hear that your friend is doing better and hope they make a full recovery. Take as long for yourselves as you both need you deserve the rest and take care of yourselves.
Sorry to hear about all these difficulties. Having proper rest and pausing things is absolutely normal, I think. You are amazing! Your streams and works are warm and nice, but your health, feelings and comfort are the most important things, so all decisions connected with it are fully understandable. Take care of yourself! We'll wait all time that you need 馃挏
I hope your friend makes a full recovery, and that you two get the time you need to rest.
Wishing you all the best. You deserve rest too, don't forget! Take care of yourselves.
Please do what you need to do! At the very least your friend seems to be doing ok! I enjoy your art and you two just seem so kind!鈽猴笍 Take care of yourselves!
Don't stress too much, just take care of yourselves~
Take all the time and more you need to rest up and find your footing again.
I'm glad your friend is better. Please rest up! If you need to pause everything while you recover thats OK. We'll still be here!!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend! Glad they're doing better though. Take all the time you need, I think we all understand that level of stress is no joke.
I don't know if it is just not having the bandwidth to deal with drawing or actually not having time to get on stream, but have you ever just thought about doing a hang out stream? No art, just watch a movie or something on YouTube. I go to one stream that just plays bingo they made up with a certain kind of video on YT. Some people watch shows or movies together (I think most things on YT won't get you in trouble). It might be a relaxing thing to do and it could help get everyone together and chatting. Or if you wanted you could start a discord or something to communicate with Patrons on. These are just weird suggestions, but whatever you do y'all take it easy.
That sadly wouldn't work well for us because there would be the pressure to be hosts (which is really tough for us) and there would for sure be some people who ask for commissions and even though they don't intent to, it would make us feel guilty. 馃槗
Very understandable and please take your time and rest up! I absolutely love the welcoming nature of your streams and I will gladly wait as long as it takes for them to return! Good luck to you both during the convention and glad to hear that your friend is doing better!
Please take the time you need to recover, sorry all this has happened. I hope the road back to normality is relatively smooth. I'd love to give some extra support with a commission when the streams come back!
