10/18/23 Update:

Life remains hectic.

Some family things are happening, a cold/covid is running through my family and I'm still recovering from my cellulitis I got in august (lingering allergic reaction that just won't go away). If that were all things would be fine but a good friend of mine passed away and my headspace isn't all that... stable? I guess is the right word?

But the worst is over (knock on fucking wood), I hope.

The memorial is in a week-ish and once that's behind me I'll start updating RR again with what I got on my patreon. Thanks for understand and I hope you all are safe and healthy.

Sorry for disappearing. I had a couple visits to the ER with what we first thought was an allergic reaction, which turned into antibiotic resistant bacterial cellulitis and a much more severe allergic reaction to another medication I was put on. Large swaths of my body became painful scabs, essentially. The idea of surgery was floated, to give you an idea of how severe it was. (thankfully we found a non-surgery treatment that worked.)

I'm recovering now, and updates will resume soonish. A lot of things in my life just stopped so I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things.

Thanks for understanding and I'll see you in a little bit. (Hopefully)
