STATUS UPDATE aka. why I haven’t started posting stuff yet
Hello there!
Some of you have seen the posts I made earlier this fall about coming back on track in drawing Edna & Leonard -related stuff, and many of you have probably noticed that I’ve been unable to do that. I deeply apologize for not being able to fulfill that promise. I assure you, though, that I’m by no means about to abandon my precious children, and I truly wish to start posting here on E&L -related stuff soon.
I also apologize for being so bad at communicating about taking a break earlier. Every time I though about doing just that I found myself thinking things like “I’ll start posting soon anyway so why bother.”

So I thought that I would now tell you why exactly I haven’t been able to be active here lately. 2017 hasn’t been treating me well. At all.
Lulu, my family’s first cat had to be euthanized this spring. I hadn’t seen her in five months, and when I finally travelled to see my parents and cats I saw the condition she had fallen into. Putting Lulu down was very hard decision to make, especially since my family wasn’t fully behind it at first. The last thing I wanted was to see her suffer, so I pretty much ended up organizing the whole thing. So I went to the vet with my mom where Lulu was put down. I’m very glad she doesn’t have to suffer anymore, but I still miss her dearly.
My family has fallen into drama this fall, and now it seems it’s really going to fall apart. I won’t share the details any further, but it has been exceptionally hard to deal with since there isn’t much that I can do to make things better. Seeing my family members sad is the worst feeling ever.
Lastly, my grandpa died lately and I attended his funeral last weekend. It brought all the other negative feelings I’ve been dealing with on to surface. That’s why I finally decided to share something with you guys as well.

I have hopes of starting to post Edna & Leonard here on this blog in the near future. I’ve met so many amazing people over this blog and I really miss you guys. I miss the feeling of excitement I get from sharing my art with you!
I still have tons of plans for my thieving children. Now I just need to crawl up from my nest to do just that. I hope it will happen soon, and I will update you guys about the process <3

Meanwhile I have been drawing stuff unrelated to E&L (seriously if I didn’t draw anything I would go completely mad). I haven’t been posting it here because it is quite different from what you’re used to seeing from me. I have another blog here on tumblr, and I would be happy to share it with whoever wants to check it out.
BE WARNED THOUGH!! The blog contains M/M-relationship and NSFW-content, so if you’re not into those things (or you’re a minor) it may not be for you! But if you would like to see what I’ve been up to the last year, throw me direct message and I’ll give you the address :)

Lastly, I’ve been stalking all of you from the shadows even though I haven’t been active myself, and it still amazes me how talented and driven some of you are. Your amazing art and posts still make my day.

That ~is~ a lot to deal with at once…! 😰 Thanks for sharing all that. Regardless of update schedules, your candor is deeply felt/appreciated. 💝 Looking forward to more zany E+L capers, when you’re good n’ ready!! :)
Thank you for your good wishes and understanding, it means a lot to me <3
I also want to thank all who have wished me well here on tumblr and twitter. I’ve been very hesitant about making this post because my worried ass is always scared of letting people down. I want to thank all of you for your understanding and patience.
I’m working hard on coming back on track in drawing here, and hearing from all of you makes me more eager to do so! <3
