Hello everyone, 

I hope you're well. I wanted to give you an update on this month's Patreon stuff, as I'm afraid a good deal of it is going to be late. CW: Death. 

Two weeks ago, my wife's side of the family was hit with an unexpected and painful bereavement. Her cousin, who was only 21, passed away very suddenly and it hit everybody hard. 

The last two weeks have been extremely tough and while I've managed to keep some things like Press Any Chiodini going, the vast majority of my energy has gone toward making sure my wife is ok. 

Unsurprisingly, it's pushed a lot of things back in terms of my production schedule so, with apologies, I'm going to need another week to sort out Wyrd Tales of adventure, this month's champion AMA and the (already massively overdue) episode of Cooking with Chiodini. 

I realise it's frustrating when something you've paid money for slides into the next month and the next payment cycle, so I want to thank you for your patience during a difficult time. 

I'd also like to thank you in advance for respecting my wife's and my privacy - ordinarily I wouldn't disclose any of this, but Patreon necessitates a closer relationship between creator and audience and I wanted to give you some context. 

We're doing ok and things are getting back to normal - I appreciate that many of you may want to send messages of condolence but at this stage I think they might do more harm than good. Thank you for your understanding. 

The next Patreon update I send will be more fun, I promise. 

Lots of love, 

Johnny

I know I can really only speak for myself, but I'm sure that a fair amount of us, like me, are mainly here because we want to support you as a person, not solely to use patreon as a premium subscription service. We're here for you, so if you need time for any reason, please take it. 💜

Isabelle N

Take care of yourself and her, we completely understand ❤

Thank you for updating us, and of course our thoughts go out to you, your wife, and the rest of your family during this time. Unless the creation process helps you work through this loss, then don't worry about it for our sake. We'll be here when you get back. If there is anything we can do to help, I encourage you to not hesitate to ask.

Sam Coleman

Echoing others, my patreon subscription is to support you doing a job you love, not just to receive content non-stop. Family absolutely comes first so take as long as you need, we'll be here whenever you're ready. Much love to you & yours.

Theresa

Take the time you need for yourself and your wife. I agree with Sam: I subscribe to support you, not for continuous content. 💜

Caryn Sibayan

Take the time that you need and we will all be here when you are able! 💜💕

Take your time. Family is way more important.

A Platypus

I subscribe to support you as both a creator and an individual - take all the time you need: much love to you and yours.

Hedders

How awful. It's touching that you felt able to share the specifics with us. It'll go no further, and we'll still be here when you emerge.

Roswald Walton

Don't apologise, family always comes first. I subscribe because you have given do much to the community and it's the least I can do to help you in return. Take the time you all need, we're not going anywhere. Love, light and healing.

Paul Harris

take as long as you need and take care of each other, some things are more important

You dont need to apologise for anything, life happens and cant be controlled. Please just both take care of yourselves

Bill

Echoing the rest of the comments. Take care of you and yours, first and always.

Zoe Hukom

Thank you for sharing something so personal. Wishing only happiness and healing for you and your family! I’m pretty sure most of us would want you to return when you feel ready, and on your own terms :) I, personally, am not going anywhere. Just keep being your brilliant self, and take care always! 💖

Jon Hall

Look after yourself and your wife Johnny. That is more important,

Empo

I am sure that everyone here agrees with me that your personal life comes first. Please, don't worry about us during all of this.

McDanian

Take care of your wife and yourself Johnny. The great thing about being a supporter is that we get to support you. Like others have said before me: We'll still be here when you're ready to come back.

Alina

Don't worry look after yourself, we are not only here for the content but also you as a person so it's important to us you and your close ones are alright. We'll still be here when there's time.

Luna Shadow898

So sorry to hear about your loss as other people have said take all the time you and your wife need as grief isnt something that can be rushed through I know I personally don't mind waiting and I know others have said the same thing

Andrew Tung

It might be terribly inappropriate to ask, but are there any "in lieu of flower" requests we might be able to show support or condolences through?

Handsome Dave

Wow Johnny, no need to apologize. Get your house right. We’ll be here.

Joanna Oneill

Hi Johnny, no need to apologise we all understand and our support is always here so focus on your family above all else right now

Levi

Johnny, you're good in my books. I won't leave condolences, but I will say thank you for everyone that's ever suffered a loss without someone close by to comfort them. I've been with, and without close friends and family after a deep loss - I know your wife appreciates you being there.

Ethan Blomquist

No worries Johnny, life comes first! I'm so sorry for your loss, your family is in our thoughts. We'll be around, take your time, and we'll see ya when you return!

Quixotic Raven

Don’t worry, we understand. Please take care.

Dominic Carter

take care of yourself first Johnny and your wife, then worry about us, you guys are number one no matter what

Spiderdyke

No worries mate, take your time.

Jeans Magandy

Family comes first Johnny, and you're not a performing monkey. Content takes time to create, and if personal circumstances cause a disruption to that content then so be it. We all pay to ensure you have the time and freedom to create such wonderful content, personal time is part of that.

Emraldz

Take all the time you need! I honestly really appreciate your keeping work and personal life separate, not that we don't care, but you're keeping your personal life personal, and I think that's really good for your mental health.
