So, here we are. I am less than a month out from my bottom surgery consult all the way in Baltimore. It's quite the trip, and it's already taxed me a great deal. After my consult, I'm going to know for certain what all pre-operative things I'm going to have to do, such as weight management and hair removal. Up until now, I've done a lot of my transition out of pocket. I paid for things like hormones and such, up until last year when I opened up my Transition Fund to help afford travel expenses and surgeries from friends, and partners. Who I've been nothing but grateful for as they've helped me get all the letters and prerequisites I've needed to even get a GRS consult.

Unfortunately, I've ended up burning through the entirety of my Transition Fund so that I could make the trip all the way from Texas to Maryland for this consult. Meaning I'm going to have to start rebuilding my fund so I can afford any future procedures, most importantly bottom surgery. I'm going to put in a lot of hard work over the next few months in the hopes I can better build it back up. In addition to that, I'd like to extend out a hand and ask for help. But I don't intend to just simply ask for money from the internet at broad anymore. I'd like to instead start offering my voice and art skills. While I haven't exactly worked out pricing as of this post, I am looking into my options and what seems fair based on my skill. I will post a more in depth sheet with ranges, and what I am and am not okay with drawing, voicing, etc.

In addition to this, I do stream various games and myself drawing art to Twitch, and post irregularly on YouTube. Any Twitch donations made during streams over the foreseeable future will be going to my tranisition fund. However, any twitch subs will continue to go towards supporting my day-to-day living and my collaborative animation and writing projects, such as Rain: The Animated Series and My Darling Honey.

You can go ahead and follow these endeavors, and give a little support here:
• Rain: The Animated Series
• My Darling Honey
== Twitter
== Ao3
== Big Closet
• Twitch
• Voiceover Channel

You may also notice that I've put in a bit about the other comics I'm currently writing and intend to post as well; Moonlight's Shadow, and normal. These are two comics dyadically set in the same world that follow two different people experiencing the world in different ways; Fayth Bennet, a young trans woman who's inducted into the ranks of the Seraph, Guardians of the Between in Moonlight's Shadow. And Cole Wynter, a college kid who's first day ends with them being cursed to slowly transform into a woman. They're both stories I hope to explore gender, identity, trauma and other elements with. Also as a way to reconnect with my past having enjoyed transformation stuff in the past, but give it a fun transy twist.

I look forward to sharing these storires, and many many more. And if you wanted to just help at all with my transition fund, you can find the link to the GoFundMe below.
