When that little bit of anxiety kick in. Lovely.

Oh, SPEAKING OF... (Bit of a personal rant below)

Phew, have I been working on stuff that's all about to be released, holy heck! It's fun to do big projects, but it's also scares me having to wait longer to post stuff because I keep seeing Patrons here and there unpledge because "DCS doesn't post enough" which is very discouraging...

I just wanted to let y'all know that I am often times working even if it doesn't look like I am because I'm not posting images each day! Coding, editing, and managing are all parts of the job that aren't glamorous or easy to show off, but they're important and I do them!

So, please have a little patience with me as I transition from finishing a few big projects into working on more and more Solanaceae pages and the Solanaceae game update, which will have me posting game dev updates once again. 

Most everyone is very cool about this, but after having 2 very recent patrons with exit surveys that say I didn't post enough (one said that while I was sick with my kidney stone and couldn't walk... very nice... they probably didn't know that, but it still hurt) and you could say my anxiety level about it is a bit high.

I like to be productive but I am not a machine and I shouldn't expect myself to be one either; I need breaks... so thank you to everyone who is sticking with me and understanding that! 

Anyways, tiny little anxiety rant over. Here's another page! Cavemate page will go up tomorrow!

Sal being relatable again! That lil anxiety that turns into lil mad anxiety because you mad that you anxious and then (for me) you anxious because you mad I appreciate you opening up to us about what you are going through right now. I know I’ll never know the full extent of the time and energy you put in, but in every update, I see so much of the hard work you are putting in. Your comics, VNs, and games bring me a lot of joy and even though it’s only a little bit, I’m glad I can support you and your work in some way!

God the thing you said about Sal is so real! And hey, thank you so much! I always get spooked talking about this kind of thing, because it feels like inevitably someone is going to be mad at me, but the vast majority of people are cool and understanding so it just feels good to be able to go "hey, could you give me a minute?" because I really do promise I am working hard and making plans and trying to come out with cool, new stuff for y'all. Things just take time! I am still largely a single person operation and it can be difficult to balance my very big work load with my personal life and just like, trying to make dinner and do chores life, haha. SO HEY thank you so much for the words of encouragement and for your comments in general, it's always so nice to hear from you!

I just want to jump in to say that I don't know how you keep up with posting as often as you already do; you put in a lot of work and I get excited to see updates throughout the week both here and in the Secret Club, or on Twitter. I'm not sure I've seen many other creators that keep us as updated as you do. I know those of us over here appreciate all the effort you put into your work, even if we can be pretty quiet sometimes, so I hope you don't take two people's comments to heart. And your health, physical and mental, always take priority. Right. So. Thankyou for coming to my Ted Talk. Also, I love this page and Sal's lil' hooves make me happy. <3

I AGREE ^^^^ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you! I really do try my best to keep everyone updated and *at least* update my usual pages and such! I really didn't think I didn't post a lot, even when my output has been lower, but oof, it's been tough to have even a few people say otherwise. (I think that's a problem with my own confidence, at that point!) Anyways, thank you so much for your lovely words! I really appreciate them <3333

Aaah ! >o< ❤️❤️❤️) You deserve it so much !! And I follow ProbablyAMimic comment in all words !! Take care of yourself. Your health - and privatel life - is more important than any other thing. : /

2022-06-07 19:14:38 Thank you! I feel a little bad even complaining because so many people here are supportive and really get it-- but I am also known to get frustrated a bit easily, oops! To make up for complaining, I'm gonna work on a lot of stuff today and hopefully post a lot X) Thanks for your kind words of support &lt;3

Honestly I don't know why anyone would think you don't post a lot, because you do?? There is so much content and project you're working on constantly. Out of the people that I follow I definitly think you are the one who updates the most, and you definatly are the one who has the most "big projects" released. And also!! People need breaks, and that's totally okay! If it's because of health or mental state or even because something good is happening, you deserve time off.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's super nice to be reassured that I do put out a lot because uhhh I thought I did but it was tough to have people say otherwise ;o; I don't know what much more I can do without hurting myself in some way augh! Breaks are a super important part of making projects because I am constantly in a marathon and not a race... I guess it's better to have people who understand that supporting me than not? But I always fret over the little things quite a bit! aha
