Kia ora, koutou!

Leo here (for those not in the know I’m Suede’s IRL partner, they/he pronouns) and I come bearing news of the Suede household, along with some polls!

To get down to it, Suede is trying really hard right now to cope with his workload and balance his  mental health. Just being recently officially diagnosed with ADHD along with autism, and switching doctors, things have been a bit all over. Medication IS helping but his new doctor is wanting him to try some new meds to help him with very difficult executive dysfunction.

Suede’s doctor has suggested he take some time off work while he gets adjusted to new meds and works with his therapist. As many of you know, this is a difficult ask for Suede, as he feels like he already gets so much from you, his patrons, and he feels a lot of guilt asking for your support when he’s not making you content he feels you deserve.

So we’ve compromised and hoped polling y’all would help put his mind at ease to help him focus on recovery and getting on his feet.

Would you, his patrons, be ok if Suede took October off from making content, but still financially supporting Suede for that month?

Please please please be honest. We have been so blessed to have all of you to keep our family going. Suede wants to focus on recovery so he can return the favor and help you all in return focusing on mental health content on what he’s learning for those who are unable to access such support.

I unfortunately can't see the options of the poll, but I'd definitely be OK with him taking a break

Please let Suede know that we fully understand and want him to take October off! Recover, enjoy the spooky season with friends and family! He must always give himself some "me time" when it's most important.

Yeah, even if only motivated by wanting Suede creating content, him looking after his health and being financially stable now is surely better for creating content in the future.

Suede, we support you because we want to support you. That includes the bad times. Actually, at least i want to support you especially in the bad times. Also, to add a selfish motive, if you don't take time off now, things probably get worse and you'd have to take even more time off then. So please take good care of yourself now, you deserve it.

Absolutely! Please encourage him to consider this month's pledges as health pay/cover. The next month too if need be.

Holidays exist for a reason. Just focus on recovering Suede. Enjoy October. The best time of year.

Suede's content has been a much needed reprieve for me the past few months (I am very new). If he needs some time to himself or a reprieve he is more than deserving of that. Wishing you all the best.

Don't mind waiting myself. Happy to keep the support going.

At the moment 75 out of 75 vote yes. Suede you are loved.

88 of 88 votes so far say "take a break, we'll keep paying", and I must agree - as I've said to many a fellow content creator in the past; take care of yourself first and foremost, we'll still be here waiting patiently for you.

Considering what Suede had to endure with the loss of Pokémon Journey, I find it strange that he didn't need more time off. Let him rest, I say.

100% I have the same pairing, I feel you.
