Help Please! Commissions! Art for Doodles! Drive to Immediately Stabilize!
So I have a little under 80 days as of this writing to make about $8,000.00 - $10,000 USD
I have been struggling without work. Unpayed bills from the past few months have piled up. I've lost so much already, and I'm at risk of losing even more.
On top of that, I need to move halfway across the country by the end of October, since the family I'm staying with is moving out of the country. I can't really follow them with my financial situation.
This escalation happened about a week after I had finally reached a point where I'm able to complete commissions and take in new ones.
So now I have additional plans and schedules and stuff that need to be done... Additional money needs to be made, and fast, before I can settle into a more sensible work flow.
So... I'm doing everything. EVERYTHING! Whatever I can do! It's crunch time x1000!
The Quick Summary:
I have a Carrd now! There, you can find links to all my socials, Patreon, Ko-fi, GoFundMe, the form for requesting Commissions or Doodles-For-Donations and Monthly Patreon Doodles, and more! Check it out: https://juni-p.carrd.co/
My Patreon has been updated and makes sense finally! Monthly Doodles can be requested from the form at the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for each monthly Patreon contribution!
You can request Doodles-For-Donations on that same form if you're donated anywhere! Ko-fi, Patreon, wherever! Check out the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for info and a link to the form!
Commissions are open for requests right now! I'll start taking new ones very soon, so get your requests in! Look for the form link on the bottom of my Carrd's Commissions page!
My GoFundMe is still available, and has been updated with info about the move and such. You can read that for more info about it all and donate if you're feeling generous <3 (Also, this still counts for Doodles-for-Donations, too, if you want!)
Soon I'll have a store! With stickers and stuff! Maybe even shirts! I'll send out notifications when there's merch and stuff up, and the links will be up on my Carrd too!
Lots more specifics below, so keep reading! And thank you in advance for any help!

Ryo/Juni/Etc: SFW Art Streaming on Twitch.tv
I'm still having a ton of financial trouble. It's making it so difficult to get anything done, including my comm backlog... My job doesn't have any work for me atm so I haven't been able to pay bills again, and I'm postponing doctor's appointments, and am almost at the point where I'll be going without medicine for a while if I can't pay for it :C
Please consider my Gofundme. It's absolutely the most helpful, as it lets me continue doing other work. My absolute thanks for anything that goes here. Really, and truly, you're saving a life.
Sometime during the next few days I'll be doing a *lot* of art streaming. I haven't done it consistently in over a year, but I think it's about time to just start doing it again.
I'll be streaming on Twitch, completing my commission backlog while doing on-the-spot doodle commissions for $5 and up (donations and tips greatly appreciated).
3. I'll be reopening commissions once I get about 80% of my current backlog finished. I'll try to have a nice form and all together for it by then.
Thank you all, again, for all the support. You're really helping save a life. I can't stress enough how much you've helped me out this past year. Thank you, as always ;u;
when you go from a bad situation into a better one you may collapse exhausted and unsure what to do and full of grief, you may need time to regain the ability to do things as yourself or motivated by anything other than terror, you may need time to process or mourn or fall apart in ways you could not before,
and people may use this as proof that the old situation was better for you, proof that you need to go back, and it is not proof that it was better for you or proof that you need to go back
It’s so incredibly common to “fall apart” when you’re finally safe. You no longer need to stay so tightly coiled in on yourself, you can finally leave survival mode and process your trauma. You’re not holding yourself up by sheer terror anymore and suddenly the damage that terror has done to you becomes immediate and obvious.
This is a documented phenomenon with abuse in particular. I’ve had a number of people ask me why they’re falling apart now after they’ve moved into a safer home, or they’re in a less dangerous area, or they’ve left an exploitative job, or they’re in a healthy relationship for the first time. Generally, it’s because they made that positive change.
When we’re still in the midst of crisis, we’re often too overloaded and physically/emotionally unsafe to really feel or process anything. So for most of us, everything gets pushed down/repressed/dissociated until later, when we’re safe and supported. The threshold of safety at which processing begins to occur varies from person to person. And the mental calculations used to determine “safety” usually happen on an unconscious level. Very few of us have the conscious thought “I’m safe now, so I can process what happened to me.” Instead, the subconscious realizes some level of safety has been achieved, and so it just dumps a load of suppressed stuff.
Sometimes, it’s contrast to past experiences that makes us realize something was traumatic at all. In such cases, it’s not that we’ve reached a level of safety and can thus begin to process, it’s that we finally have a basis for comparison to know that what went before was unacceptable.
Any time I go through a huge period of stress, I invariably get a massive migraine the day after the stress releases. It’s like my body is suddenly “okay, we can deal with this now.”
That’s normal. Take care of yourself now that you can.

So... a few things
Please consider my Gofundme. It's absolutely the most helpful, as it lets me continue doing other work. My absolute thanks for anything that goes here. Really, and truly, you're saving a life.
Sometime during the next few days I'll be doing a *lot* of art streaming. I haven't done it consistently in over a year, but I think it's about time to just start doing it again.
I'll be streaming on Piczel, completing my NSFW and sizey-stuff commission backlog while doing on-the-spot doodle commissions for $5 and up (donations and tips greatly appreciated).
Later on in the week, I'll be streaming on Twitch as my SFW counterpart (Ryo/Juni), working through my SFW commission backlog and also taking $5 and up on-the-spot comms.
3. I'm gonna also try to finally get the initial growth drive done. It's kinda been a *long time*. I wanna do another one, but I won't start it until I'm absolutely certain I can finish it.
4. I'll be reopening commissions once I get about 80% of my current backlog finished. I'll try to have a nice form and all together for it by then.
Thank you all, again, for all the support. You're really helping save a life. I can't stress enough how much you've helped me out this past year. Thank you, as always ;u;
