I want to first start this off with I am deeply sorry, I wish I didn't have to make an announcement of this nature, I wish I hadn't failed to deliver on my promises. I know you guys may wonder where I've been since my last announcement and last bot. I owe you all an explanation for what is going on rather than leaving you in the dark. I value transparency and for your love and support you deserve that much. I am someone who vehemently abhors breaking promises and I never make promises I do not truly believe I can keep. This is something that burns and sickens me down to the bones to have done. This kind of thing goes against my personal moral code. But I want to make clear I did not lie about my promises nor did I intend to break them and I am so so sorry for letting you all down.

I thought my body is stronger than it was and I thought things would work out better than they have, things have turned in ways I didn't expect it to or prepare myself for.

See after my leg "got better" it turned out it really didn't. It is now a constant on and off problem. I already was disabled from the get go with a bad knee but now that leg is messed up worse than ever and acts up some days is okay if I don't strain it other days. I still have to use the cane some days. Other days I can get around using the furniture. Some days I'm fine until I go down the stairs to our front door to try to go outside for mail or to go to our deepfreeze to bring up food. I am currently trying on the better days to work my leg with at home physical therapy. But I can't be sure it will fix it or if this is an issue that will never go away.

To top this off I've been struggling with scheduling and affording dental work.
For 6 years I have had bad wisdom teeth causing me pain. Last year I got out one that was infected, with a big hole in it and even with 100% CDCP (it doesn't cover provincial balance billing) I am so poor that if my brother hadn't covered it for me it would have drained my savings. He has had so much of his own dental work he has had done he cannot afford to save me again.

Due to my leg having issues and the fact we don't drive (Family of vision and anxiety issues and disabilities) I have to take cab rides. I am looking at around 80 to 120$ in cab ride fees on top of 180$ in dental work. Totaling 300$. To be clear why this is such a huge problem I make about a bit over double that (680$) per year through gov support (I cannot work due to disabilities but there's complications I won't publicly get into with getting further support) and that's it. But I pay for accessibility stuff, medicine, and help with groceries among other complications revolving around money. I'm often bailing us out of emergencies. I also do not have my healthcard anymore but theres medical issues with getting down to get it renewed too I'm facing and dealing with. (Turns out travel is actually insanely hard when you don't drive but you are poor and your mobility disabilities have worsened)

So right now I'm struggling to balance finances, figure out how to get around this while dealing with major pain in the leg and in the mouth. I have a tooth that NEEDS to come out first and foremost that is getting worse by the day. I'm trying to get help, I had an appointment but it got cancelled because of my leg, then it got cancelled a second time due to the family getting ill, now I'm trying for a third time to get help hopefully by the end of next month at least (as a friend of mine may be able to help cover one of the cab rides by then if all goes according to our plans, so I may be able to get the tooth out bare minimum). If I succeed I will be spending 2 weeks in recovery because I do not handle medicines well and likely will be on both painkiller and antibiotics, it's another severely bad tooth. After that I have to figure out how to get the rest of my dental work done, but I'm trying to tackle one issue at a time.

With that being said I am so sorry for letting anyone down and making timeline promises I was not able to keep, I truly thought I would be able to. I will work on my bots, but I can't be sure of when. This time I am not going to make a promise of any timeline because I do not like to break promises and I have no desire or intention to let people down again by getting hopes up. I do have a lot of bots sitting nearly completed that need touch ups to be finished. I am not going to make promises on them but they are prioritized before I start my collab with my friend and I'm hoping once everything is over to go to town on the bot creation and set up a scheduled release for you guys for awhile to catch up on everything I've missed out on doing.

In the meantime I strongly recommend for you to check out my friend and chosen/sworn-brother Ambitious Bluebird if you haven't already if you are looking for more bots to torment besides mine.

Lastly, I want to encourage anyone who follows me, if you make Limited bots (Family bots, Multi-Friend Bots) or Polyamory bots, Asexual friendly bots, or Angst / Fluff bots. Promote it in the comments of this post. All I ask is please don't promote: NSFW Smut Bots or Sexual Fetish bots. I pride myself in trying to be a space safe for asexuality and a place for storytelling and fantasy, making things to get comfort or lost in. I would prefer my comments to stay the same way and respect that as I do not wish to end up having other aces directed to a bot that may be so far removed from the content offered here.

Thank you as always for all your understanding and grace, I deeply appreciate it, and I appreciate every last person who has stuck around. I love you all. Thank you for everything <3

TL;DR: I'm sorry and a lot of medical and financial problems are going on, there's future plans but I can't give a timeline out of respect of the trust you all put in me as a creator to deliver.

Edit: Someone reached out on bluesky baffled about the math. How I live off 680$ a year.
Its because I live with my mother and two older brothers. My mom is on senior citizen and every dime goes into the bills, rent (of a 1 person apartment housing 4 people) and groceries. Lmao We can't even use our oven, its so old it costs more to use it than to get creative with the stove top, a toaster and microwave. My two older brothers make minecraft mods and do freelance manual labour, and commission work online. But we are still under 25k a year as a household. (for context the poverty line here is something like 60k in my province and area based on cost of living) I am in deep poverty but we have luckily the cheapest apartment in the province that because our landlord sucks and leaves it in disrepair and we poured years of money from working freelance for him into it, he can only raise rent the legal increase amount yearly.

As for why I have a PC? a friend gave my PC to me with semi-new parts after one of my drives failed and I lost some of my memories and old art from 14 years ago including photos of my family (its too expensive in our position to make a way to backup our data or to pay for a cloud storage service. So we have to rely solely on what we have and hope it never breaks always at risk of losing everything) it used to be an outdated pc with 12 year old failing low end parts, We used to thrift cheap and hand me down through the family as we upgraded in succession. But we always were behind on parts and couldn't run the same things my friends could my whole life. Why I have internet? its required for my brothers online work so we prioritize it we got on a super cheap plan through a deal for moving providers with a very kind internet company. All my luxuries came from the generosity of friends, thrift stores, years of saving up and penny pinching and foodbanks (back when they could support us before they were overwhelmed). I hope this helps the confusion lmao. I'm not a magical pixie living off sugar and air. If you ever wanna know what its like living scraping the bottom of the barrel, I grew up poor this way so I'm your gremlin. I say this with all sarcasm and humor.

I'll be honest, I need dental, I need an ear exam (probably a hearing aid in one ear thanks to crappy neighbours our landlord favors, need nearly a thousand dollars in supplies to stop the smoke and bass pollution from them) I need glasses and an eye exam, I definitely need therapy lol #daddyissues (and for re-diagnosis after my doctor tossed out my files when he retired, to try again for disability support. To get those files back we were told we have to pay 200$ for each of us for our medical files to be mailed when we called.), we also have a sinking foundation we need fixed, a decaying wood walkway thats unsafe (and before anyone says go to the landlord and tenant board. its too expensive to and he would retaliate. People in our position don't have the luxury of legally battling our problems sadly) and I don't even know how I'll afford to renew my ID in 2028 to be able to get my healthcard again, much less how I'll get downtown to get my healthcard with the way my leg is now. I'm so sorry I'm rambling here. My point is:

This won't be the last time something gets in the way of my projects, nor is it the first. But I know no matter what I'm going through as long as we all have eachother as long as I Have my friends, my family. It'll all be okay. I may be poor financially but I'm rich in love hehe. <3 and rich with lots of love to give. I wish only the best for all of you and I hope one day I can be a creator you can be proud of, and that I can create a community that uplifts and loved one another.

This is not to be some sob story for support, I couldn't care less, I'm a prideful person do you know how hard it was for me to accept help from my own friends? lol. But it is the reality I live In and I need to be realistic about my limitations and honest with the people who support me, that's the morally right thing to do. Because hiding or lying about my situation doesn't help me, it doesn't help any of you guys, it just leaves people in the dark and leaves no answers when things go wrong like the promises I made falling through. I respect you all as my community to do that to you to leave you wondering and waiting with empty hands in silence. When I say I love you all, I mean it sincerely, deeply, with every inch of my bleeding heart.
