hello.

i used to have a business, buying, selling, and trading custom designs and adopts. 

after a car accident in 2021, i suffered severe brain damage due to the intersection of acute head trauma and some tumors in my temporal lobe. associated with this event are symptoms ranging from retrograde and anterograde amnesia, seizures, loss of motor and language skills, and some other nuanced issues. 

since then, i no longer can do any business on my own. i cannot draw the way i used to, sometimes at all, and i cannot access most of the information associated with my little custom business from that time. i had a stroke recently, and currently live on the generosity of a family member while i undergo the Healthcare Gauntlet. 

i believe there were unfinished transactions. to anybody who has been sitting on a commission from me for three years - thank you for your patience, and for wanting my art in the first place. for those people, i must apologize. i can no longer fulfill my commitment to our exchange. as i am now disabled in such a way that i cannot draw like i once did, and i can no longer earn income, i cannot issue refunds. please understand, and accept my apology. i dont feel good about failing to provide services that may have been paid in advance, however, it is no longer possible. 

i am grateful i am able to live. 

please know that the inconvenience of losing your money is not more valuable than my food and healthcare, and never will be. i wont be forcing myself to find and refund people during a time of my life in which i cannot afford to eat consistently. 

 if any previous commissioners would like a refund, you can message me with screenshots of our transaction, please, on my new account rosethirst. hoping to pull in a little extra income to settle the debts owed to previous customers eventually. you will be placed on a waiting list, to be paid the summer of 2025 if i can. that is when i expect to either be better, and working, or on disability.  

currently, i am trying to regain my old drawing skills, repracticing techniques i lost, and not participating in adopt communities and culture very much. only by proxy, if at all. 

again, thank you to fans of my art, and sorry to anyone ive disappointed. i wouldnt have chosen to disappoint you, and i wish that driver turned left instead of bashing into my brain, but she didnt and i promise the fallout of my accident is a lot more destructive to me than to anybody else. please restrain your frustration while communicating with me, and write with as much clarity as possible.
