You might have heard that Patreon is planning to shut down per-creation pledges, forcing some creators to switch to monthly pledges. A monthly-or-nothing system doesn't really make sense for creators like me who upload sporadically and don't have any patrons anyway. I've been using Patreon as a supporter of other creators for roughly a decade, and have slowly become more and more disillusioned with it with every passing update, but for me, this is the final straw. I've decided I'm shutting down this page. I'll still be supporting creators on here as many of them are only on Patreon, but I'll be shutting down my creator profile at some point in the near future.

If you'd like to send me a tip, the best place to do it now is via Ko-fi. Ko-fi gives tippers the option to make a one-time tip or a recurring monthly one, whatever the tipper prefers. It also has no mandatory fees for tips, only taking fees from creators when they opt-in or when money is exchanged via other services like the shop; a feature that I'm not currently using on either site, but has been available on Ko-fi for much longer than it has on Patreon. I can't recommend Ko-fi as a platform enough, to creators and tippers alike. I've only seen a few of people shut down their Patreon in favour of Ko-fi or another alternative, but I hope to see more people do the same soon.

As for this Patreon's posts; they have all been reposted to my blog on the new talkypup.com, which is now a site built mostly-from-scratch by myself and hosted on Neocities, rather than a Weebly drag-and-drop website builder site.

Thanks to everyone who has ever taken time out of their day to take a look at this page, or anything else I've worked on online for that matter. It means a lot. :3
