I'm honestly all out of options, I don't know any crowdfunding sites that would allow me to set one up because I don't even have my own bank account or a valid ID and I just use my mom's instead, so all I can do is drop the paypal I've been using, https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/especterofficial

If anyone would be kind enough to donate even just a dollar, it would be very appreciated.

I hate to be an annoying shill, but it's really really hard to not be when we're facing a very dire situation in need, and my PC is down and I cannot do commissions.

The Fall Collection - Updates!

Hey everyone! So it's been a real nail-biter this month waiting to see if I'd be able to stick to my planned schedule or not for this collection.. A number of small setbacks had built up to the point that I didn't know if I'd get the initial batch in by the end of the month or not. WELL! Good news finally! Today I've received a tracking update that says everything should arrive tomorrow morning!! If I do in fact receive everything tomorrow, I should be able to get it all ready to go over the weekend & stick to my preferred schedule to release the ready-to-ship drop next week with preorders to follow. I'll update the shop with these dates as soon as have the shipment in hand, but here's a peek the schedule I'm hoping to keep: SMALL READY-TO-SHIP DROP: Monday, October 28th at 5pm CT PREORDERS (UNLIMITED INVENTORY): Wednesday, October 30th at 11am CT thru Friday, November 15th at 11:59pm CT Keep an eye out for more details very soon! 🖤witchvamp.com🖤 EDIT: We got 2 of 6 boxes today, but in terms of items I need for pictures (A Size everything) I actually have about half of the designs. The rest should hopefully arrive on Monday.

IMPORTANT AWARENESS UPDATE:

Important Update:

I have made the difficult decision that I will formally be quitting sex work.

I have been doing this for far, far too long with little to show for it besides many secrets, insecurities, and a large collection of sex toys.

I'm sick of all sex, including masturbation, feeling like work. Like something I have to show off. Sexting hasn't really been fun in years. I always feel like I HAVE to respond to every ask and message because there is the *possibility* that I might get money from that interaction. It is so draining, and I feel dehumanized in all sexual interactions.

I got into sex work by a combo of financial insecurity and trauma/grooming, and while I am still very financially insecure, it doesn't make sense to keep triggering and reliving this trauma. Additionally, I was regularly dropping after filming sessions - especially the kinkier ones.

My plan for leaving will be as follows:

Any Google Drives and Dropboxes will remain accessible and available for purchase until December 31st, 2024 at 11:59pm and then I will delete them

I have deleted my Fansly as I never had any subscribers

My OnlyFans will exist as long as people are subscribed. As soon as my subscriber count hits 0, all the content will be gone

I will be taking some Halloween pictures, and then will not be doing any more shoots. This isn't to say that I won't be posting pics here, as:

My tumblr will be remaining! I love my mutuals, and taking the occasional Pic when I feel good is different than having a posting schedule and 100s of pics in my phone.

My Twitter will be deleted alongside the Google Drives on December 31, 2024

I hope you all can understand and respect my decision. Feel free to talk to me or ask questions about it, but don't be rude or try to talk me out of it.

I'm hoping this will improve my mental health, my relationship with my body, AND my finances a bit because I kept buying toys and outfits/lingerie and not making that money back.

[the-purple-painter]

Ok I think I’m actually going to halt on purpling posts until I’m un-shadowbanned.

I’ll make a separate announcement sort of post when I am. I already sent a ticket today so just waiting for it to get fixed hopefully

People can still continue sending me asks or trying to tag me in posts to purple for later though!

I still have asks to answer actually…

[cutieclangen]

Hey guys, small announcement here

I’m going to be going on a mental health hiatus, but I’m not sure for how long. Hopefully only a few weeks or so. I’m saddened to do this especially since I feel like my comic isn’t progressing fast enough already, but it is what it is.

Admittedly, I haven’t been doing well for awhile. Life has been very hard for me and it’s affecting me more than I realized. Drawing has been a real challenge lately and I need to focus all my efforts on commissions as it’s my only source of income for the time being and I need to make enough to pay a large bill. I’ll be posting lots of art on my other art blog and I’ll reblog a post here soon if anyone might want to follow there.

During this hiatus I will also be highlighting some of my favorite clangen blogs and will schedule a bunch to share here so expect that soon <3

I’ve been feeling really discouraged with my work lately and I hope to improve my mental health and motivation during this comic break, and will look forward to coming back with a little bit of a backlog.. hopefully

Thank you for your patience with me. I appreciate your kind words and support for my silly kitty comic <3

Nobody talk to me for a while.. 😞

Ranboo’s boundaries

Since I know some people really like to have a specific thread of boundaries, I thought I'd throw some together for Ranboo just for quick reference!

Ranboo's boundaries are not on a rule by rule basis, they prefer people use common sense. This list is not exhaustive.

Ranboo’s overall ask is to be kind! When you are interacting with people inside and out of the community, be kind first. Be good people and be respectful.

Don't do anything that would hurt Ranboo or anyone else in the community. That means no racism, antisemitism, ableism, homophobia/transphobia, sexism, general bigotry etc.!

If there’s something that ranboo has done that makes you uncomfortable, please call it out. Ranboo encourages being corrected and wants to know when he’s made mistakes. He is a human and he WILL make mistakes. They will always apologize and try to do better.

Ranboo is an adult and can speak for himself. if he has an issue with the way something is being done in the community, he will speak on it. especially when it comes to fanart, don’t harass artists on the specific ways they draw ranboo. If they’d had a problem with it previously they would have said something.

Again, Ranboo is an adult. You don’t have to baby them. He can swear and drink and stay up late like any other adult can. He knows how to take care of himself.

Ranboo also doesn’t need to be defended. People are allowed to not like him, and trying to fight people who don’t like him is unhealthy, pointless, and paints the community in a bad light. Uplift the good instead!

If someone is being weird or makes a mistake, don’t dogpile them. Politely correct them, and if they continue to push things block and move on.

Don’t mention Ranboo in places they aren’t relevant. Don’t chat hop to ask their friends about him, DM his friends to try to get in contact with them, just in general don’t view his friends as extensions of him. They are all incredibly talented people and doing that just hurts Ranboo and his friends because it makes them not want to make content together!

Ranboo is fine with all compliments as long as they aren’t explicit. they are fine with all gendered terms. He uses he/they pronouns and is nonbinary and gay. They aren’t okay with shipping.

Ranboo is strictly against AI content, including AI generated art and voice covers. Support artists!!

If you are intentionally going against these restrictions it will result in a ban in chat, which means a ban from watching all streams, as well as crossbans to all of their friends chats. Ranboo doesn’t ban on genuine mistakes, but if it’s repeated behavior their mods have full authority issuing bans.

Again, be kind. If you are kind, patient, and respectful, and you listen to criticism and try to be the best person you can be you are doing everything right! Happy boobing ❤️

[iamespecter]

Hey y'all, I always want to avoid having to resort to commissions especially when I still have an embarrassing amount of backlog, but it seems that my bad luck keeps catching up to me

And the issues we're dealing with are much, much deeper than I thought, and once again, I have to take the fall for my family's finances (my mom's business is currently on rocky waters too)

So as much as it pains me to do this, I have to open emergency commissions

Full-bodies are 100-130$ (preferred), and fully-illustrated scenes are 200-230$ depending. DM if interested, VERY limited slots for the sake of my sanity

I can draw anything, whether designs, SFW or NSFW pieces (but NSFW will not be shown publicly), as long as it's not hateful, offensive or disturbing imagery of either fictional and/or irl circumstances.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It might take me a while to get to them because there is still a queue I'm attempting to finish, but I will update with progress to the best of my ability

Reblogs appreciated too, it's a difficult situation for us rn

The Royals' Blood - Current Status

I really, really hate myself for doing this yet again, but I just can't lie anymore. I'd like to address something.

There's a possibility that I might put this fic on hold. No, not even a possibility, I AM putting it on hold. I know, I know that there have been huge gaps between chapters, and I am sorry, but lately, I've been feeling more detached to this work.

All of the requests are awesome and unique, I can't wait to write all of them, but at the same time I just can't. I am pushing myself past my limit to make some sort of a chapter but at the end of the day, I don't like it, not at all.

It's not that I hate this work, no, I really like this AU of mine and I wish to continue it, for you guys to see the end of the story and what I have planned for it, but when I don't feel connected to it? It's difficult.

I tried telling myself otherwise and that I shouldn't put TRB on yet ANOTHER hiatus, because I feel so bad for all of my readers who really enjoy this work. Whenever I receive art I really feel like I am going to cry, because I seriously feel like I don't deserve such a kind audience, really. Why are you so nice to me, yet I can't do something as simple as writing a one-shot?

I tried writing the new chapter, it's not finished and I have no clue when it will be finished. When I write I just feel like it's not enough, I don't know why, with every other fic it's perfectly fine, but when it comes to TRB, I am just draining every last bit of energy out of myself.

Will I abandon this fic? No, I won't and would never even think of it. But at the same time, I do need a break from this work. I used to publish a lot chapters weekly before, I have no idea what happened to me now, I have no idea why I can't publish them like I have before.

What started as a simple, easy project turned into something like work to me. I feel obligated to write because I don't want to upset anyone, but by doing so, I only hurt myself more. It's rough.

I will come back to this work, I will finish it and show you the end of N and Uzi's tale, that's a promise.

Thank you for your understanding, this decision wasn't easy for me and I feel extremely guilty that I have to make this post, because I know that I am probably just making up excuses at this point. I love and cherish every single one of you, your fanart, support and love. Don't worry, I'll be coming back to The Royals' Blood, after all, can I really leave my cuties alone? Without a proper end?

I'll maybe shorten the fic a bit when I come back, that is: I'll be writing the rest of the request before getting to the lore and the end, but that's already a decision that is only up to my future self.

In the meantime, I'll be working on my other work. I won't be going on a hiatus, the work that is going on one is TRB only.

I am deeply sorry for putting it on hold, thank you for reading and have a good rest of the day.

-With love, Astrachigo

relevant post

I've already opted this blog out from data training sets, but the damage is already done and basically all my art I've posted here is in there already since they were sharing data since before the option was added to opt out (do that if you haven't already btw, it's per-blog and in your settings)

about half the people on my dash are already jumping ship. it's sudden, so I don't exactly have an exit strategy myself, but I'm hesitant to stick around to find out what other things devs here want to do to betray their users

I've decided, so I'm not totally caught unawares, I'll be opening a page to continue this project over on cohost. I still don't know if that's the best home for it, but it's the best I have access to at this moment. for all I know, I'll be forced to abandon this site without much warning, so I'd go follow over there ASAP

to be honest, even with a friendly little toggle to opt out, I don't trust the people handling this site to properly handle my data, so I may be moving my asks over there immediately. I haven't decided for sure yet, but we'll see

[rattling-reverberations]

Okay, so I don't know if the change was obvious or not, but I have made this blog 18+ only

Why this blog and not the others?

Because this one deals with more sensitive topics than the others and can barely go one thread without the mention of some sort of body dismemberment or themes of cannibalism or gaslighting etc etc.

It's not meant for those under the age of 18

That being said, I will be releasing a 13+ version of the fanfiction I plan to write with Hawkmoth in it

That version will be uploaded to tumblr and ao3 simultaneously with only the 18+ version being allowed on ao3
