I'm On The Verge Of Quitting Everything. I've Been Crying All Day. I'm Tired Of Putting Up A Candid Face

I'm on the verge of quitting everything. I've been crying all day. I'm tired of putting up a candid face when social media is scr*wing over trans creators or only showing my art to anti-trans suicide-baiters. Even though this has been my most productive year ever, in terms of online content, I get comments practically every day about how rarely people get to see my posts in their feed.

Since last winter's natural disaster, we haven't been able to afford groceries. We haven't had hot water since March. I've been late on student loans and car payments for months. Orders are late and I feel like I'm failing everyone.

On top of that, I'm still regularizing my situation in this country, and in that context, I just received a letter telling me that as a self-employed artist, I'm obligated to put a monthly $700 in a private retirement fund (and pay the 21 months backlog since I officially started paying taxes here). The only other options are to quit art or go back to Canada.

I've talked in the past few months about the necessity for the survival of this project to double the amount of subscribers on patreon. Each time, social media killed the reach of these posts. I'm not expecting this one to do better. However, it has never been more urgent. There needs to be about 200 new subs or I might be forced to shut it all down. I'm really scared and I wish this wasn't the only way.

You got some choices, although they are being updated more or less regularly - keeping Assigned Male Comics free and easily available on social media remains my priority : Assigned Male Comics patreon A Frog in the Bog (foraging and DIY) patreon Pastel Sexy Times (nsfw) patreon Candycore Comics patreon

I'm sure you all got so much on your plate, and you could do without the series of woes that have afflicted our family this year. Thank you for reading through this and for your constant support, even if it's just through leaving comments - it does help. It's my privilege to create these comics, and I hope to do it as long as you will allow me.

This. If you wanna hate me, that’s fine. But at least use the right pronouns and be creative about it.

I use the term semi-anthro for creatures that are quadrupeds with anthropomorphic features (such as warrior cats)

is this a safe space to complain about how i hate the convention of referring to biped/quadruped furries as anthro/feral? the “feral” ones are still anthromorphized smh

I’m physically human, but I’m also a therian and otherkin, so I wouldn’t count myself as human. As for the other three sharing this body, none are even remotely human. So, there’s a ratio of 0:4 for human/not human

question 13: What is the ratio of your human to non-human headmates?

Cool lifehack:

You can just be a different gender. Wanna be a girl? You is girl now. You wanna be boy? You is boy. You wanna be some form of shapeshifting eldritch demon creature? You is shapeshifting eldritch demon creature

Sorry for being angry and not quiet and reserved. I’m coming to terms with the fact I have an incurable disease and will feel like shit for the rest of my life.

Actually no. I’m not sorry. I never claimed to be a good person. Stop expecting me to be quiet and “good,” and “perfect.” I’m sure you wouldn’t be fun to be around either if your body was constantly on fire and the doctor straight up told you that it’s just going to be that way forever.

No, I won’t apologize for hating everyone. Because guess what? All of my mental problems are caused by people. So yeah, I hate people. I’m scared of people. But it’s easier to be angry than sad and scared. So fuck you, actually.
