Content

Hey, everyone; sorry for the slowing down of content updates, this month has been rough for me to the point I've had to starve myself to the point where I had to be hospitalized with my funds being stalled, and a few other problems I'd rather not share.

I've also been feeling a bit of burn out from the Genshin Mods; I love making them, but I've been feeling a sense of imposter syndrome since I've been required to post the mods I make publicly in the discord server.  It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pelted with so much negativity since my works are entirely niche in comparison to more of the mainstream creators.  I get bulled on the regular in there; you can search my username and the majority doesn't really see me as a person.

I shouldn't let their words and rude emoji reactions get to me like this, especially with the nice crowd I have on here; just gets frustrating when the negative comments outweigh the positive feedback.

With all that being said, thank you for all your continued support and patience thus far; I've got a few mod commissions on the way, and I hope you all are looking forward to it!

Hey Dotolie, first off, I hope you feel better soon, starving and hospitalization ain't no joke, especially if you live in America, totally get it. Put your physical health first, me and the rest of the fellow patrons greatly appreciate the update, it means a lot. I know it wasn't easy having to get up here and say all of that, so we're really proud of you. For the part of the Genshin community not being accepting in your work, that's a bummer and I totally feel you. For people like me and the other enjoyers of your work, the things you create are a godsend and they allow us to play the games we love and see better versions of them too. However, I implore you, my favorite custom content creator, to do what's best for YOUR mental. If posting mods in THAT server is making you feel awful, then it makes you feel awful. Your work is *you*. It's what *you* like and what *you* took the time to make, so when people disregard it or put it down, it can genuinely mess with you, due to your connection to it, and that's understandable. You're human, their words and rudeness affecting you are just proof of that....never try making yourself feel like you aren't, okay? How about instead of posting in that discord server, you leave it, and make one for yourself that's open to the public, or one open to the patrons? That way you don't have to deal with the backlash from the part of the community who doesn't necessarily appreciate your stuff, while also opening yourself up to the community who does! Put a small verification system in the server too so you don't have to deal with trolls popping in and out. With your own server, you could do discord streams of your works progress in Blender, talk to fans, or just be making the space for people to talk about the stuff you make + share similar things. I feel like there are definitely better avenues for getting your work spread and into the spaces it'll be appreciated than that server. I know a lot of creators who make content like yourself are starting to create servers built around making a community for their works now, since they receive the same backlash in similar spaces . For me personally, I don't mind making trailers/showcases for the mods I have access to as well like I did for your Lumine mod and posting it on rule34 sites and other place for you to get more positive traction as well. This is one idea to ponder one while you get better. No rush! But please put your mental first. If they aren't treating you well in there ,then it's time to do what's best for you and dip! We believe in you to make the best decision for yourself. In any case, We'll be waiting patiently for the next thing you create!

For food as well, I highly recommend looking into Food Banks in your area if you haven't already. They are extremely valuable resources in these struggling times when you need access to food. For cooking, meals that are based around rice and beans (both which are extremely cheap and affordable, with bean cans going for $1 and a 3lb bag of rice going for 3-4$) are INCREDIBLY fulling, and offer a decent break from staving off meals to make it through the day. 2 cans of black beans and 2 cups of rice can be between 3-5 decently-sized meals for a singular person. I can send you a recipe for a burrito bowl I would make when times were extremely hard myself!
