So, a lot has happened since I last updated this. I’ve gotten my hysterectomy and I’m healing really well. I just got to the point where my incision is looking good and able to be safely unbandaged. I’ve also gotten what I’m hoping will be my last big set of iron infusions for a while. However, I am currently kind of tied up with a different matter. If you check my Twitter or Ko-fi, you’ll know I’ve been dealing with looking into denaturalization and the potential of it being on the table with President Cheeto Dust winning the election (for some reason). My husband is from El Salvador. He is a legally naturalized citizen that originally came over to the US at the age of 4 under political asylum, but he has legitimate worries about Project 2025 which is seeking to deport naturalized US citizens. While he is all good in terms of not qualifying for denaturalization legally, we’re unfortunately talking about a laundry list felon being in the White House for the next four years so all bets are off.
My husband and I are currently just trying to get our ducks in a row. We’re going to be consulting an immigration lawyer and making sure we have backups of all his citizenship paperwork and we’re both learning as much as we can about the ins and outs of the denaturalization process. I have plans to do a Creative Corner soon, but for the moment my main focus is my husband and supporting him while we deal with this.
In other news, I’m still really focusing on me a lot as well. While it’s important to me to migrate my creative work, I had to prioritize my family and my health. I still have a lot of real life things to tackle like starting to sort through my mother’s stuff, moving my office, doing a mountain of laundry and getting back on track with my self-care routines. I still have to find a couple new doctors and the loose plan right now is migrating stuff while I just generally get my shit together. Also, my Patreon is officially closed now. If you would like to support me moving forward, please check out my Ko-fi at https://ko-fi.com/meinav . I will elaborate a little on my final thoughts on Patreon in the next Creative Corner so yes, I will dish some dirt and share my experience with their support in due time. I will also share my surgery and recovery experience too.
I am still working on After Dark. I’ve been busy on my Remarkable 2 tablet making notes for characters and sets every night. I am trying to plan out how to set up the Campfire file for it so I can actually work toward sharing some stuff with people a bit more on that project.
I know I’ve been on hiatus on Twitter for quite a while now. I had a lot of personal and health issues come up that just made creating not as enjoyable. I simply don’t like creating if I’m not happy or passionate about it. I feel like it really makes the finished product less than it could be. I currently don’t have an ETA for all of this just yet, but I have a lot of ideas for a new, more varied and more creative lineup for my Twitter content. Without the anchor of Patreon stuff pulling me down, I’ve really wanted to explore a lot of different creative areas like fashion design, weapon design, mech design, creative challenges and just more variety. I love creating characters but I also love creating a lot of other things. One of the goals of the brand I want to create is variety. I want to produce more content that makes people want to explore all kinds of areas of creativity. Some of these things I still have to workshop just a little still but they should be pretty self-explanatory. I wanted content that involved my love of fashion and character design but also my nostalgia for Flash and some other creative things like mechas,weapons and maybe at some point also map and set designs.
