Hey, MMS, where's the everything? (Patreon)

Hey, manticores! Thanks for all your support and patience.

As you can probably tell, some things have been missing around here for a few weeks. I haven't been posting the Q&A posts for January yet, the wallpapers for November and December have not made their scheduled appearances, several of you at Elder tier and higher are awaiting promised voice lines, and I have a backlog of patron-selected Suspiciously Familiar Character Creation episodes to make.

So, like, what's the deal? Did I forget about my beloved manticores? Have I been replaced with NNS, the evil mirrorverse version of MMS who runs "So Alright Here's the Deal" on mirrorverse YouTube and doesn't offer Patreon perks? Am I actually dead and my channel is just running on a backlog of shorts? Is it all Trish's fault somehow? What happened to Site-13? What's the lavender car thing?

Well, in order: no, I didn't forget about you, don't worry; NNS is still confined to his universe, as far as I know; I'm very much alive for the time being; Trish is a fictional character (plus interfering with my Patreon isn't her style); mismanagement and systemic bureaucratic abuse; and it's too complicated to get into right now.

Actual answers, though: basically, ever since mid-December, my workload has skyrocketed and my energy levels have plummeted.

The former is, frankly, at least partially my fault — I'm the wiener who decided to, y'know, start making shorts about the SCP Foundation, and doing superhero versions of my characters, and spending hours on end designing a fast food restaurant background and props that will probably never appear again after that one short. That's just me being genuinely bad at time management, I apologise. Plus, I took Christmas week off, so I had to do two weeks of shorts in one week to make sure I had shorts to post that week.

The energy levels are... less my fault. Y'know how it is, seasonal depression hits people hard, the world we live in is difficult, and various things happening in and around my life (personal things which I won't go into detail about) have been somewhat draining.

Also, I'm not the most organized person in general. It's partly the ADHD but partly just who I am.

However! All hope is not lost!

I want to be clear about the fact that just because wallpapers, Q&A posts, voice lines, etc aren't here yet doesn't mean I'm abandoning or resetting anything. It's going to take a while to properly catch up on everything, but I'm posting a Q&A post immediately after this one and I'm going to be working on the other perks gradually over time. Things will happen! Fret not!

Also, if there's something specifically for you that I have forgotten or missed — if there's a month where I missed one of your perks or something — don't be afraid to let me know. Reminders are not a bother!

Thank you for your patience, and I'm sorry for the delay,

MMS
