iggy and their totally normal emotional dependence on diet sodas

Real talk y’all, I want to apologize for this month. September kicked my ass, between the busy season at work and catching the flu, I hardly had any time or energy for art. I barely posted at all, and that makes me feel so sad and anxious, because my performance is absolutely not measuring up to what it’s been in the past, to the quantity and quality I try to maintain. 😞I’m sorry, and you all absolutely deserve better. I’ll do my best to be way more productive in October, and I thank everyone who’s stuck by me as long as you have. I should have a Fuzzbutts sketch dump posted either late tonight or tomorrow. Thanks again, everybody.💗

Ima be so fr. If you didnt post for several months Id still be paying the monthly dues until you post again, hoping everything is okay and still wanting to support and be here for you when youre ready to post again 🫡

AKA you dont have to stress about it as much as you were, we'll be patiently waiting for you to take care of yourself first

lopoddity

Yoooooou are gonna make me cry 😭 I won't ever let it come to that, but your support means the world to me. Thank you 🩷

Alex

Sorry you’ve been so stressed and not feeling well. I hope October is a happier month for you.

Thank you! 🩷 *Knock on wood* but it should be, the busy season at work has ended and things are slowing down as we ease into the holidays. I'll have more time to draw now that I'm not being asked to work 11 hour days due to total failure of management.😵‍💫 Like my managers are still failing horrendously, but we've made it through the bulk of our client caseloads 😌

Alex

That’s a lot, especially combined with a flu. Light at the end of the tunnel though 😊 Continue to take good care of yourself.

"It tastes artificial" yeah well maybe i love the feeling of drinking carbonated fake-sweet acid water

I don't believe we have Chek soda up here in the Mid-Atlantic but next time I'm in the south I'll have to try it! I've never seen a diet soda that's just plain strawberry before. Currently I've been enjoying the zero sugar shirley temple 7Up.

The Chek soda brand is exclusive to Winn-Dixie supermarket, and Winn-Dixie only exists in Florida and Georgia. 😉 Chek has unusual flavors of diet soda, like fruit punch, mango, peach (another fav), lemonade, and green apple, all of which taste vaguely dusty and make me cough after I drink one, almost like this is something I maybe shouldn't be putting in my body. Don't care, they're great at scratching a sweets craving for me without consuming actual sugar. Shirley temple 7up sounds wild, imma check to see if it's available near me!

Bro you are wonderful and awesome and I'm happy to see updates from you at ANY time, no matter how long it's been since the last one. Getting/being sick and swamped at work are absolutely valid reasons for taking some time off from art (since this isn't your fulltime job but rather a passion project we're here to tip you for!). If people don't like the time between posts, they're welcome to cancel their pledges!

(Also more @ me but LOL why did it pick my Patreon page PATREON DEACTIVATED as my commenting account ;0; )

All the winn dixies in my ..bleh.. state (AL) went out of business so I guess they all are thriving in FL and GA now, haha. I did grow up on Chek and I guess i just grew used to the taste as a kid… and then when I moved I got to I try other fruity sodas as a teenager.. Now, as an adult, my go to sodas are Starry Zero… coke/pepsi zero.. and.. thats it lol (i’ll only get sodas when i’m out and use those flavor machines they have at restaurants to make vanilla sprite zero and those are great!)

PrincessMuffinArt

Oh also, I’m so sorry your months been rough. Hoping spooky month brings some fun and excitement to your life soon!

TheTabbyBadger

No worries, you gotta take care of you! I'm sorry it's been a rough month, extra long days AND the flu is rouuuugh. I hope you're feeling better and you get some good rest!

ummhallelujah

I think I went into a Winn Dixie store once while in Florida, but only the alcohol section lol. I'm planning to drive down to the Everglades at some point soon before they bulldoze it and build a data center on it so I'll have to stop in at one.

Sorceringing

take your time!! im happy to support you in the background regardless of your output ^^ <3 your art is worth the wait!!

lopoddity

Thank you, that means a lot ❤️

I feel this so much. I've been drinking Diet Soda for so long and in such quantity that trying to drink a regular soda feels like trying to chug a bottle of syrup. Also, If the 'Aspartame gives you cancer' thing were real I would be a giant walking tumor. Perhaps my blood is now pure Diet Coke. No one knows.

I’m sorry things have been rough! If it makes you feel better, September has also been kicking my butt so you know we can suffer together

lopoddity

Thank you! Oh yes, October is my fav month! I started decorating for Halloween back in August >:3

PrincessMuffinArt

Ohhh fun! I put my fall decor out on august 31st, but halloween would’ve been alongside it if if my household wasn’t such the fun police. “Wait until oct 1” they said. Jokes on them, I did it the last week of September. >:) I love October and halloween in general. It’s so fun at all ages! Working retail really makes me realize I don’t care for christmas anymore. 🙃
