Zer0 Weekly #27

Ack, hello folks.

Well I certainly hope your 2026's off to a better start than mines.

[Full transparency]
So I'll preface this with saying next anim is still underway, just the past couple of days have been a bit rough on the pscyhe, and should still be lined up for a late Jan/Early Feb release.

But well I got the good news that my flatmate (and live in landlord) is sealing the deal with his college love and life all happily looking after for them. Now the thing is, he's somewhat left it very fucking late to inform me that now I need to be looking for somewhere to go after living together for 6 years.

It's completely fair of him and I can't really say I didn't see this coming, just both of us didn't communicate till it was too late and so now I have till June to sort my shit out with next to no savings.

[The future is uncertain]
I don't plan on having this affect my work massively just yeah I now have a big responsibility to deal with in working out how best to save pennies efficiently in such a short time frame.
My quandaries are that I've become very attached to this area, this way of living and big thing for me, the cat we adopted (of which he and his to be bride are keen to also keep). So I'm kinda processing A LOT (for me) mentally and emotionally at the moment and it's certainly hurting.

I'm hoping to maybe make this an opptunity to finally buy my own place if I save well, take advtantage of the UKs first time buyer options and call in some favours etc, maybe even need to make this year the year of commissioned videos or at a push might try see if I can get some fundraising if that's at all possible. But yeah personally I just don't think I could flatshare with a random after 6+ years of having the same very good flatmate and I want to do everything in my power to be able to home the little furball as she's been a blessing for me in just over the year we've had her.

[Thank you all]
So aye, thank you all for the support and I ask that you offer just a smidgen bit more patience while I'll likely need to make animations the sole focus this year (and likely will need to keep them to a more baseline scale). I again don't plan on letting it completely tank my output, I just probably won't be making as massive strides as I did last year and need to play a bit safer while I also through myself into the business of mortgaging n shit.

Sorry for what probably comes across as a bit of a trauma dump, I just felt it would only be fare to be transparent with those who generously financially support my work and way of living and ask for understanding.

Cheers for the support as always.
