A creative-minded individual fascinated with the fictitious, and it's power to uplift, inspire, and affect the souls of those around us! (Escapism is incredible, y'all.) Working on a variety of silly little things, all of which involve a handful of fictional worlds I've been attached to and obsessed with developing since my earliest days in this (slightly more doldrum) reality of ours.
Hoping to bring a bit of happiness to the world through what I can do. [๐]
Overly chatty (if this description wasn't any clue), but also a little bit shy. Dealing with a handful of neurodivergencies and mental illnesses, but otherwise trying his best. It's a long story, and a longer character arc, but it's also been an adventure. Maybe I'll overshare talk about it with you some distant day. Also apparently has some weird affinity with the moon...? [๐]
Let's get along, yeah? I hope you like what you see from me, and that I make your days a little (or perhaps even a lot) brighter and tolerable!

Blindly reposting this. I dont think I have a legal leg to stand on because I quit patreon willfully but the horseshit is a big part of WHY I quit.
People are noting it's not just for creator, there is apparently even an option for people saying they just consume NSFW content and are sick of this shit.
"fuck patreon" tag... I'm not surprised; Patreon has removed Goals feature by denying it as unnecessary and useless, missing the point of said feature: tracking the progress for financial goals.
The site's staff is known to ocassionally mistreat the artists and animators over content that doesn't even hurt anything real-life, even adult art (remember Eigaka and Slugbox cases?), and the customer service is getting worse, with increasingly insufferable time constraints and unfair bans over off-site behaviour. God, I really hope MasterCard Patreon will be held accoutnable to this whole mess.
P.S. Patreon is currently blocked in Russian Federarion (my home country) since 2022, which is understantable considering the site's anti-Russian settlements, which is actually really bad.
