A personal update from Marccus (Patreon)

Hello, I am one of Marccus's friends, and I'm writing this on his behalf. Marccus's partner passed away on Sunday, and he has decided he needs to step away from managing his patreon and subscribestar pages for the time being. He wanted me to convey that he is always incredibly grateful for the support that you all provide to him, but that he does not feel up to socializing or reading and replying to comments and messages at this time. He expressed that various things have been unexpectedly upsetting for him, and he won't be on any of his social media pages. I did not receive access to those accounts, so those won't be updated or checked.

For his patrons and subscribestar supporters, he wanted to state the following:

He's been in a financially precarious position and can't pause his pages, he'll continue working as best he can, as he understands that while some of you would continue to support him in the absence of new rewards, he can't afford to lose the people who would cancel if he ceased working as that would exacerbate an already challenging situation.

He apologizes to supporters who are on the commission waitlist and to his current active commissioner, he does not feel up for the required communication to facilitate commissioned work for the time being, he'll resume work on those when he returns.

He understands the impulse to reach out with comforting words, but he does not wish to receive any messages of condolence, as he has found those to be extremely upsetting in light of what's happened.

I'll be doing my best to run his page in the meantime. Everything about the site has changed since I last used it many years ago, I might get some things wrong or make mistakes, so patience and kindness is appreciated.
