My life has been an absolute hellscape for way too long and I was worried about Young Royals releasing its final season right in the middle of it all. Honestly it was risky for me to watch it right now, not knowing what waited on the other side. I can’t afford an additional spell of despair on top of everything else right now 🥲

But this has been my favorite show and it remains my favorite show. Easily. It has been such a comfort for me during this time and I really don’t know where I would be without it right now. I was so worried I’d be too stressed to even enjoy the last new episodes there will ever be… or the story would just tank and disappoint me in the end like some other shows have that I’ve held close to my heart and then it would just make me feel even worse.

But what a beautiful show.

What an earned and deserved ending for every single one of the main characters. It was better than anything I’d ever realistically hoped for. (It was actually just a lot of me yelling and arguing with my screen and then So Many Tears 😭)

It is so rare to find a show like this, that is just incredible to watch from start to finish (heck, it’s rare to even get a show these days that even has a proper conclusion or otherwise doesn’t get dragged on for too long until it’s not even enjoyable to watch anymore).

I’m so glad I got to be there for its conclusion and experience it on the last day before our internet service gets cut off before our move. The timing is actually crazy for it all to have played out like this considering I didn’t plan it that way and I really needed this show to not let me down during *gestures at literally everything in my life*

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing the story, world, and characters of Young Royals to life. I’m sad I have no new episodes to look forward to now, but the show did what it needed to do and told such an incredible, heartbreaking, but beautiful and fulfilling story that, for me, will always be worth revisiting over and over again 💜

Sticker club is open! Lucky clovers and rainbows for sheith 🍀🌈

This is the extent of the art I’ve been able to finish since our LL stabbed us in the back. Idk what the next round will look like but if you’d like to support me in the meantime…🥲

Hello. Just wanted to update everyone. We still don't have an apartment secured.

We found a place that could have actually been pretty good for us long term. It was close to a friend, some of the neighbors and I already had a mutual friend, it had an area for my mom to do a little gardening outside, it was super close to all of her preferred grocery stores, the LL lived on the property too and said they don't really raise the rent ever, and the rent was only $25 more than what we were already paying. It also seemed to be very private and quiet. We would have been eaten by mosquitoes but this place really could have offered us some real stability long term. The LL wanted reliable long term tenants which is us in a nutshell given the last time we moved was 24 years ago.

Then he gave it to some other guy that he was already iffy about because he got his app in first. He had taken the listing down and it was just us and him who applied, and the LL went with him which has demoralized me in ways I can't even convey. If we had to leave the city we're in now that I grew up in, this was the only place I've seen that I felt moderately okay about.

I have one other lead that I don't want to say much about right now, but it is acting as a very flimsy safety net that I'm clinging onto just for the sake of securing a place for us to go to for now. We'll see how that pans out because I'm not looking at it as a guaranteed thing and it will absolutely be a panic scenario if we take it given the price point. It is currently being renovated so I can't know more just yet but LL knows we're interested. Hopefully they don't forget.

Aside from that, the sticker club art I was working on isn't done yet and normally yesterday or today would be the days I use to do all of my end of month prep to prepare and deliver rewards for you all but... you know.

I thought if we managed to secure a place quickly it would allow me some breathing room to work on my usual stuff but instead I'm still doomscrolling apt listings all day long. I haven't even had the capacity to start packing anything because this is literally all I do. It would have made our lives so much easier for the time being if the LL at the place we submitted to had just gone with us instead. I chased him down across two cities just to hand him our app fees and everything 😢

Anyway. Thank you everyone for continuing to support me here. Stuff from this month is definitely going to be late and thinking about next month just makes me want to break down crying so I won't promise anything right now.

Very... very unfortunate life update

Hi, everyone.

Ok, I don’t want to waste your time but I wanted to be upfront about what’s going on in my life just so you all know.

Last night I got what is probably one of the worst emails that could have ever appeared in my inbox? Our landlord has given us a 60-day notice to get out. For context, my mom and I have been living here since the year 2000. We have never been late on rent or missed a payment despite every difficulty life has thrown at us in that time and this has completely blindsided us.

We haven’t spoken to any of the neighbors yet but some of the wording on the notice makes me think that they may be kicking out the entire building. Or maybe they’re just targeting those of us in the non-renovated units because we’ve been here so long and they could charge a new tenant much more with a quick kitchen and bathroom upgrade. Renoviction is a new word I just learned. I don’t know. That’s what happened to my brother at his last apartment. They kicked out everyone in his building, renovated, raised the rent, then let new people move in.

They suddenly started increasing our rent every year like clockwork a few years ago so I’ve had a feeling they’ve been trying to price us out for a while but I didn’t know they could just… tell us to leave just because they can. Rent consistently paid up and everything for 24 years.

The notice we received really doesn’t say much so it’s all speculation I guess. It doesn’t state a reason why it just says we need to be gone by March 31st.

But basically, I’m really not doing well right now in all honesty. I slept for maybe an hour last night and it’s like a switch flipped in me as soon as I read the email. My stomach has had this weird knotted feeling ever since and I can’t stand up for more than a few minutes before needing to lie down again in case I either faint or vomit… I’m not sure which but it’s been this way since last night. I had to stand up at the sink to wash one singular dish from dinner and I could barely do it. At least I didn’t see the email until after I ate last night because I still have no appetite now.

However bad I’m feeling I know my mom is probably feeling worse. She has been for a while. She’s getting older and my dad is no longer alive. Aside from my brother and one irl friend I still see in person regularly, we have no family or other support system in this country and are well and truly on our own, staring down the barrel of homelessness if we can’t quickly secure a place and move decades worth of our life there before the end of March.

All of this to say, I don’t know what our usual art shenanigans here are going to look like during this time. I am incredibly stressed to the point where I am physically ill but I also can’t pause and step away because I do need the income that I receive from your support of me/my art here. It’s just the reality. I’ve never been particularly Big And Successful with what I do so your support means all the much more and makes a real impact on my life.

I am so sorry if this dampens your mood at all today or if you notice a decrease in the quality of art I’m able to deliver over the next few months but I will try my best to keep things rolling and let you know if there’s any particular delays to expect.

To top it off, I requested a tour of a nearby apartment last night (more expensive than our current) and the name of the person who just texted me back has the same name as our current landlord. Who wants to start taking bets? I know for a fact they own a lot of property in the area so this isn’t looking promising.

Anyways. Sorry for this downer of a post. If we’re not homeless in 2 months then… I dunno. I’ll have somewhere indoors to do art? Yay? You can imagine the housing market we’re dealing with being in California. The prospect of moving at this point has always been one of my biggest fears but we’ll see if we get lucky real fast 😢

If you've ever thought about supporting my Patreon or anything else, now and over the next few months might be a good time if you can swing it. Maybe it'll help us secure a place to move if I can point to it and be like 'Look! A whole income!' 🥲 Idk man.

There's an art update in the (public) post I made if you want to see what we're at least trying to work on for sticker club through all of this.
