I bought a very nice at home printer and a very nice at home cutting machine!

Because of this, I'm opening a merch tier on my Patreon for 2024!

And, I can print out your favorite panels for you on my shop now ^^ (I can also print of any of my illustrations! I'll add more paper sizes later as I figure out how to ship them 🧡)

On local crime boss Will Gallows:

"It was so scary, it was so scary... and a little sexy, but very scary."

"YEAH!"

"GOD DAMN IT, it's NOT sexy!"

"It is! I was aroused!"

"If we ever get zapped to Narnia, I'm gonna need a fuckin' airhorn for when we are in real danger, and I'm gonna blow it at you guys if you start getting horny when someone's like--"

"Hey Brennan, you'll know when we're in real danger because my knee will buckle."

"Jodis can step on me."

"There's gonna be some fuckin' nine foot tall demon lord who's like THERE IS AN EXQUISITE PAIN IN DEATH and I'm gonna look over and see a look on your face, and I'm gonna go HOOOOOONK and I'm gonna be like 'run! We gotta run!'"

"And I'm gonna be like 'I can't, I'm slipping out of this chair I'm in! Leave me! I'll buy you time!'"

"'We find nice people to fuck later, we gotta GO!'"

I was gonan make a post apologizing for lack of regular art but I feel like jts already clear im sporadic and in and out of it bc chronic pain and circumstances. So for now I'm gonna hibernate, get my health steady again, deal with money issues, and art will happen when it happens.

GOOD NEWS

JAKE IS LIKELY RETURNING TO THE $5 TIER STREAMS NEXT MONTH

bad news murph is not doing another dm stream in that case (hopeful news it seems he's enjoyed it as much as we have and seems interested in returning at some point)

[keytaryourheart]

the ludwig sweater looks so yummy but i preordered the yard zipper shirt last year for however much monies and i wasnt stoked abt the quality and legit haven’t worn it yet. realistically all it needs is some fabric softener but I’ve been procrastinating doing that rip

[piierrote]

oh btw order processing is on hold for this week just cause i’ve got a cold and i don’t wanna be processing orders and potentially spreading my cold through the post <3 if you ordered over the weekend i’m hoping to be fine by friday and sending stuff out then!!

[tundrakatiebean]

I found out the tag limit is 30 on this post lmao anyway I had a very good year. I wish all of you so much good and light.

hey honest question, did anybody have GOOD stuff happen to them in 2024? cause it was really bad for me and for most people i know, so it would be nice to hear about anything that's been going WELL for any of you. even if it's small stuff. just to know there's light out there.

Is there an amount of financial assistance that would make a material difference at this point?

I mean, yes.

But it all depends on if anything we try even works, and I hate the idea of taking folk’s money, trying, and failing all over again. I’m so very tired of trying to build something and having it fail because everything just… seems to always go wrong.

There’s some options, but they’re out of reach as of now and the cost is just too damn high or the work required is something we can’t really do. Every option requires thousands of dollars and in-person help in some way.

There’s better states I could move to and get healthcare in. (Cost: starting at maybe 7k for the move with truck rental gas hotel, and maybe a low downpayment on a place but probably would need to be more)

(Massachusetts has more and better doctors and we’ve lived there before so it wouldn’t be a strange land) But the move would cost thousands, and neither my mom and I have the energy to manage all the packing, moving, driving all on our own. We’d need physical help, or money to hire buff people lol. And then… rent every month pretty much anywhere in MA is high. If we could even get into a low income place, the waitlists are years long and residents get priority. We could RV it to Mass or another better state, but see below:

There’s my mom’s RV plan, with the med stock up and vacation through Canada for a few months. (Cost: honestly, way too much. Even with a loan, I’d need another $10-20k just to get the RV)

But I can’t get a loan big enough for the costs right now because for some reason everyone just jacked their prices way up suddenly. It would have to be a drive-able one, and I’d need to be able to trade in my current car that I owe on. I can get maybe 19k in a personal loan, but they’re all starting at 30k-60k for junkers from the 90s (name of my memoir) that are leaking shit heaps.

There’s hunker down here and hope for the best. (Cost: I don’t know. At the very least $10-30k maybe? I don’t know how much some of these things cost yet because a big part of the problem is there’s no one who does certain jobs around here that calls back or shows up.)

Which means money that needs to be poured into the house to make it actually livable again. We have no hot water heater, and the entire hot water heater and bath area needs to have the floor replaced and a new tub put in. We have mold that needs to be killed. We need new insulation and a wrap for the underside of the house. (That would fix the mold problem) Plumbing stuff needs to be done. We need the electrical updated before it kills us. We need a real fence by next winter because this snow drift bs is killing us all because the assholes next door won’t let us put up a temporary snow fence on their barren fields. I’d still need to find a dermatologist, but at least the house would be safe and like… legally livable so someone could come cat sit while we drive 12 hours. It’s not great, and I also still have an issue with the home ownership at this time. (I don’t own it, but the person who does doesn’t communicate and doesn’t really take like… landlord type responsibility. I mean, how we’re living right now is a human rights violation and a violation of a good 100 something state laws lmao 🥲)

We find somewhere in southern maine to live again. Either a house rental, or rent to own, or downright own (lol sure). (Cost: Moving costs again, downpayment for any of the three starting at $7-10k. Rent to own and or own: $100k and up.)

This would be nice, ideal even. I’d have options for dermatologists in and out of state because they’re closer, no need to switch residencies so we could qualify for low income places. But everything in southern Maine is expensive expensive, and the rents on apartments are just too high for the shit you get. (No one needs to be paying 3k a month for a shitty little place you don’t even get to own and you get lead poisoning from like our last place there.) Again, this falls into yet another cost heavy option with future costs.

This is kind of what I meant by I can’t really be saved by money. It’s too much. It still requires finding and getting to a doctor who can help on top of that too much money. At this point, I’m thinking of just applying for that 19k loan and giving my mom her bucket list beluga experience because I don’t think either of us are making it once they cut our health insurence and her SSDI. And she loves belugas so much. (To be fair, I also love them so 100% worth it)

Hey guys. Some of you guys would have heard by now that the philippines will face four typhoons consecutively. I'm currently in the middle of preparing, with the funds my partner gathered for me last month; only I've come across a couple of problems; firstly. That our fridge broke. We live in a wooden house, and when it rains, our walls are very damp due to my country's general humidity. I suppose it caused some short circuiting in some of the wires. I've had the fridge repaired, but it also spoiled 2-4 days worth of food. Secondly. My mom's wallet got stolen. It had around 150 usd in it, that was supposed to go to our groceries for the last leg of November. I've been unable to find work on twitter, as a dying platform. And I am somewhat late in fulfilling my October commissions.. I have not been able to make art as a hobby.. in almost 2 months. None of my social media is growing because I work 10 hours every day, and I'm too exhausted to draw afterward. I have around 3 jobs, and with dollar dramatically falling, while food prices continue to skyrocket.. I am drowning. I am the only person in our house who works. All my three family members are disabled. I pay for my sisters tuition fees, I'm pretty much her parents in all respects. Elon Musk destroyed one of the platforms where most of my clients come from. And my other work will only pay me once I deliver 200 pages of work. Humbly, again, asking for help, prayers. Anything.

There's a 15% off sale on inrprnt, please come pick up any print at all if you'd like.

My patreon is only a dollar a month. Ever since Apple chose to bill iPhone users 30% more, I've devastatingly lost almost 60 patrons.

You can send me a direct tip on ko-fi if you like and have the means. Everything goes to repairing our house, and food, and insulin.

Also have a PayPal here..

Prayers and reblogs appreciated. Thank you so much for looking out for me for almost the whole year now. I'm sorry again. I'm desperately trying to repay the favor with new art and free stories. I will do my best.
