End of June Announcement-PLS READ
🕑 Added 2021-06-30 15:20:42 +0000 UTCHello Dear Knights & Friends,
TLDR Courtesy: Life & my brain stunted my production this month, next month I plan to resume normal posting. If you wish for a refund, DM me. Thanks for the compliment of being a patron at all. <3
As you can probably assume my head is hung as I write this. I want to keep it as shorthanded as possible to not take up your time. It's the last day of the month and I will not be able to make my patreon commitments. To sum up, the impending move, the issues I had with my old apartment, my family, stress, a bout of burnout and the always heavy feelings of being overwhelmed stunted my creative passion and drive for most of the month, not only here but across all platforms of mine if you noticed. Once the move happened, at this point it's been exhaustion, lack of internet connection, and yesterday I got my second dose of vaccine so I'm feeling not so great-- because of these I was unable and am not able to post any content atleast for a few days.
So I apologize. Looking back there are many questions I have. Should I have just closed patron for the month? Should I have pushed through the mental blocks? Maybe I can find a way to post from Mobile or transfer files in some way then use... Tbh idk what is the right answer. I kept patron running because I planned and assumed I could do it, and after the move I figured if nothing else I'd have 4 days to post out some stuff. It didn't happen. It's a big lesson learned for me and all I can do is apologize for not realizing my limits or having a back up when the move delayed everything.
If you are new to my page, I hope you'll return. If you are old, I hope so too-- I will try to do my best as always, I guess this month my best was to sort out my life and I'm sorry you all missed out on new content for it. I can only assure you long term this move was very needed. Although being a patron gives you access to dozens of exclusives and early access pieces not released anywhere else and I've been advised not to offer such because of that, I will offer anyone a refund for the month of June if they wish it. I don't want any hard feelings or anger for my misstep so this is my offer to do so if that will make any of you less so.
Regardless of where you go or do, thanks for being a patron for any amount of time. Although this month I dropped the ball, it's because of your support that I find myself able to continue to do this for a living and work to get ever better. Remember auto renew happens on the first, don't be caught off guard!
All my love,
Ruthie xx

Thank you for the head's up. I hope things start getting better and you can take the time you need to recover. Please take care of yourself!
Honestly, I’m not sure if there is a right way forward other than being honest with us. And you know what? You were honest and transparent. And those of us who have been paying attention know that you are going through a lot right now. Between what you’ve been going through with family and moving, looking after your emotional and mental well-being should come first. As far as I am concerned, I am glad you focused on your own well-being. I will continue to support you because I continue to be drawn by your work, and I refuse to be a fair-weather patron. My support will not change, and it will take a helluva lot more than this to convince me otherwise. Be well as always, and good luck!

I appreciate the transparency, and I'm here for the haul. Thanks for keeping yourself sane and healthy! Those in themselves are gifts.
