this is a crosspost from patreon regarding work and body and money and all. nothing bad, just getting used to slowmode :\
come
on body. make it across this finish line. there was one more plot beat i
was going to do this chapter but like. ugh its a whole thing. i am
desperately trying to fight off the monetization demons while still
recognizing i have been given a great gift in the form of financial
support by all of you. squandering it by rushing through things in order
to "get it over with" and give way to stilted dialogue and rushed
conclusions would be disrespectful to you as the audience who are,
arguably, paying to see something good and not something quick.
otoh,
there's a very loud voice of reason at the back of my head that reminds
me that all good things will come to an end and infinite growth is
fake. there will come a time when, due to any number of things, i will
no longer be making money on the comic. its inevitable in entertainment
and also just sort of the state of how reality works because of entropy
existing. it could be tomorrow or it could be 30 years from now. my
point being that you have to make hay while the sun shines lol. you
know.
this
was much less complicated before i got sick, now that ive slowed down
ive never been more relieved to be charging people per page lol. if i
were charging people full price monthly for this kind of service i would
be so upset with myself
