while I'm thankful for them bc they keep my economic head above water, my patreon earnings have pretty much been static for like 5 years. I am a pretty shitty marketer, or a shitty artist, one or the other. maybe both.

hanging with my older uncles at like 10-12 in the parking lot on weekends was formative. lol I felt so grown. but these folks were mostly sober. I made the transition to getting fucked up at the arcade pretty quickly (lol at 12).
