Some 2.0 Update Kinda Stuff
🕑 Added 2024-08-08 21:48:54 +0000 UTC
HI! So I've been working quite a bit on the background on some of the "social media" aspects of what I do. Not my favorite part tbh, that would be actually drawing, but I feel it's necessary to be able to keep in touch with people specially in the wild current landscape of things.
You might be partially in the loop or able to make assumptions, but I think is best I actually address some stuff for y'all. 💝
Discord Server & Integration Available!
OK, so, FIRST-FIRST-FIRST OF ALL.
I am SO sorry about the abrupt welcome and all the pings last evening. I was hoping setting everything up would make Patreon send you, like, some sort of notification or direct fancy invite or something...
Instead, it poured you all in the way Five Guys staff pours fries into the bag... (yum...) And for that I'm very sorry.
Now, first disclaimer. Being on the Discord server is currently NOT essential to the Patreon experience. If for any reason you wanna be off it, I understand, I'll still post stuff here as usual!
That said, if you want:
-A small run-of-the-mill server to interact with people that vibe to the same stuff.
-A place in which you can more easily stumble with the Patreon art I make in case you don't have your eyes set here all the time.
-Perhaps to get peeks at other art-related stuff I might be doing and posting that doesn't quite fit here, as a lil' bonus.
...maybe it's for you! If so, ensure you have Patreon and Discord linked and it should give you access in the right role. ⭐
In any case, I'll be hanging around there, maybe I hop on call everyone once in a while too.
I also have been curious to use this as a way to provide patron/subscriber-only art streams! (Sketch request streams in the future maybe???)
SO YEAH, in any case welcome! Or sorry again...
Ahem, uh... "SubStar" & Things Lately
My name is Ada but I gotta be Frank with you.
With the way this place has been enforcing some of their terms, it sometimes feels a little shaky to run the ship. I've recently seen a couple of artists I follow be shot down so... :c
That's part of the reason the Discord server was born, to have an additional way to keep stuff accessible to people, another way to back-up posts, if you will.
I even thought of halting posting on the wall altogether and making the server the WAY to see posts, but I'll keep posting openly still, for now!
NOW, well, I made a Subscribe⭐... The plan is to mirror posts between here and there to make the experience as close to the same as possible.
To provide access to the history of posts previously posted here, my friend Vic (VICCHAOS) compiled ALL the essential stuff posted here, so supporters there can download, view and keep at leisure!
Massive shoutouts to Vic for the help and support, it means the world. QAQ
NOW, IF YOU'RE READING THIS AND HAVE INTEREST OF SCOOTING ON OVER THERE INSTEAD, feel free to message so I can kindly help you! It is kinda encouraged... 💦
For now, let's just hope my place here doesn't explode any time soon.
Smaller Updates
TIER NAMES CHANGED. Gomita, Chocolatito, Galletita, and Nievecita are the new titles for each tier. They essentially reflect the sweets that named the previous titles, but in a catchier, cuter, minimized Spanish way. I hope they're not too tough to say!
UPDATED MY CARRD. You proooobably don't care at this point, but I thought I'd still mention. A little more pleasant and organized in my opinion, more Arllana-focused but my SFW art links are still there.
TL;DR & Parting Thoughts
⭐There's patron Discord Server now, feel free to join by linking your account if you'd like, sorry to all who got dragged in suddenly by Patreon 💦
⭐There's a SubStar now, if you prefer that place, moving is welcomed, or even kindaaaa encouraged.
⭐Tier names changed; they reflect the same sweets. My Carrd directory is a little more organized.
Sorry for the long read but thanks for the attention. Working and running sites and posting and real life and all that stuff has been TOUGH. Your support and patience for my work means the world and keeps me running. Thank you soso much. 💝
ALSO, if the Discord server did grab your attention, and you wanna see more be done with it (polls, activities, gaming or watch part nights, specific scheduled hangouts) please let me know.
It's a basic early thing for now and kinda experimental, but if people like it I'd be down to do more with it!
Bonito día 💝

As much as I love the convenience of Patreon (the mobile app, having all my subscriptions in one place)... I am glad that you and a few other artists I've seen have begun to open Subscribestars. It's a shame that Patreon's become so prudish, but that does seem to be a thing with paywall sites lately (Gumroad comes to mind, even OnlyFans considered doing it). So I'm glad that Substar's around as a much safer option. Heck, I might even move my subscription over there next month. If nothing else, to minimize the risk of paying for a month right before Patreon tries to tell you that chonky cuties are against the rules.
