Hi all, thank you for another frankly amazing year full of crazy adventures.

It hit the ground running, following closely from my puppy trip to Germany, and went from strength to strength. It was when I started really exploring my plural and more adventurous sides again that things have really hit its stride; given how things have progressed, I'm very grateful for it.

This has led to where I feel full of ideas I absolutely need to get down on paper, while still struggling to work past personal hangups in order to execute. I'm really excited and hopeful for it, but likewise apprehensive because the pressure on myself to do a good job of it is tremendous.

Your continued support lets me take the time I need in order to commit and do the work in order to achieve my goals. I'm determined to do just that, and share that success with you.

It feels like it's been a long time coming, and I'm eager to see where it'll lead.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Here's the first illustration from the Debauchery Drive!

Looks like whoever gave me that pacifier didn't expect me to do anything, since it was going to do it for me anyway.. I guess we'll see where this leads in the next illustration, too.

Rayna's track is currently at €190 (@ 80% Sissy vs 20% Incontinence), and we got Antoinette's first illustration funded at €250 (@ 60% Hypnosis vs 40% TF)!

And here we go!

These are the "zero-th" illustrations meant just to set the stage, and not anything that folks have donated towards. These offer hints towards what to expect my me's will be subjected to beyond the names of kinks that we started with.

You can also see the current donation progress, and how folks have voted thus far, in case you want to contribute to the one of your choice and steer it in a direction that you prefer! As shown, there are already two parts queued up to be made in Ruby's imageset, which will be coming up next.

Thank you for your contributions and generosity! Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. You can read more about this instalment of the Debauchery Drive in the starting post here.

Parts

Ruby: Part 1, Part 2 (Coming Soon)

Antoinette: Part 1 (Coming Soon)

I'm running an art fundraiser to help stabilize my finances - and the art I'll be making for it was decided by you!

I held a survey about what kinks that folks most associate with me and my art, and I used the most popular aspects to create three different donation reward streams - so you can donate for any or all of the parts you want to see more of!

When you donate, you may include codes in the comment field for the parts you want to assign your money to! The distribution of donations across the various parts will affect the outcome of each illustration; for example: "A," "B2 & C1."

Here's the three donation tracks, with their codes:

A: Ruby - Regression (A1), Diapers (A2) + Wholesome
B: Rayna - Feminization/Sissification (B1), Incontinence (B2) + Reality Alteration
C: Antoinette - Mind Control (C1), Transformation (C2) + Plushies & Toys

For the first stage, the goal is 50 and 100 on the announcement Bsky tweet. Go give it a boost; it's free!

The first stage has been met, and the first illustrations are underway! Stay tuned for updates here and on all my galleries for more.

You can now find the first set of illustrations here!

Hey!

I've been working really hard on a bunch of art I can't share yet because the store I wanted to sell designs based off of it wasn't working great.

The comic speaks for itself, but yeah. I'm trying to avoid leaving myself deadlocked because of a problem that's outside of my control, and the store seems to be behaving well enough now.

If you're curious, check it out. Every purchase helps me out a lot.

Hi there everyone! With everything being on fire and exploding all the time this year, I decided it was high time I gave my talk about how I navigate around censorship online. I gave this talk at CFz and BFC already, but I'd much prefer it if I shared the insights in the talk with more folks.

This will be happening late Tomorrow, Sunday 21st, and late on Tuesday 23rd, too. You can use those links to convert the time to your timezones, and add the event to your calendar. While I'll be giving them both live, the content will be identical in the two of them, so you should only need to attend one.

Hope to see you there!

Yup! I figured that my best bet for getting the word out and meeting people would be to use my own platform to blast it out there, cause despite talking about it a fair bit on Bluesky, social media is at best an unreliable tool for spreading important news.

I'll also be hosting a panel about maintaining an online presence, which has admittedly grown increasingly more difficult in this day and age.

I hope to see some of you at the event, so let me know if you'll be there!

(Disregard the note at the bottom there, I've been preparing for an upcoming project with some data collection on socials. If you missed out, you should follow me there!)

Most important part upfront: PLEASE keep a keener eye out for and report any weirdness or problems on the site to me if you notice anything unusual. I just got done moving it to a new server and things might've gotten broken in ways I'm not aware of yet, despite thorough, albeit brief, testing.

The past few weeks I've been quietly making preparations to migrate my entire hosting setup onto a fresh new server because the one I was using was set to be decommissioned. Over the past 24 hours or so, I've gotten that done and dusted, and boy howdy was it a scary and frustrating ordeal.

But, here we are!

To be fair, it's a lot less exciting for y'all since, if I've done my job properly, you shouldn't have noticed a single thing (except if you tried to access the server during that time cause it was in maintenance mode but shh).

So yeah; as I mentioned at the start of the post, for the next couple of weeks please be a little more vigilant than usual, and quicker to report any strangeness going on with the site. There may be things I won't have run across since I'm using it in different ways than you all do, but if all went well then you shouldn't see anything amiss.

See you all in the New Year!

Hey!

Jager Darklite needs to secure a baseline monthly amount for his comic series' crowdfunding campaign to make it feasible for him to continue making art full-time, and is currently running a subscription drive. This is due to a sudden change in his situation, which has put a lot of pressure on him both mentally and financially.

Jager is a good friend of mine who makes absolutely stunning art that frankly feels as though it's tailored specifically to my tastes; involving gratuitous amounts of transformation, magic, messing, diapers, and even hypnosis! If you're into what I'm well known for, you're sure to enjoy what he's got.

He's running this campaign until around end of February, by when he'll need to be more self-reliant. He'll be making pages in the meantime to give early pledges something to enjoy until then, but he'll hopefully meet his goal and keep making more well beyond that!

Please do consider supporting another great artist who's already contributed a lot to the community. I know I would wish for the same if I was in his position, and I know y'all appreciate dedicated creators and the art they make for us, too.

If you're unable to afford a monthly subscription, you can share the campaign on socials with the buttons below!

This really, really sucked to have to make, but here we are.

I'm crossposting this everywhere both for visibility, and because I'm especially pleased with the art itself despite the heavy feelings it conveys. Pupbun dissociating, Chocolate taking charge, Ruby looking scared.. All the things at once made this very hard to make. I thought to add Soul looking worried about us but in the end I just couldn't do it.

I won't tell you what to do, but FA doesn't deserve our attention. It hasn't for a long time, but with Dragoneer being gone, their sheer unmitigated incompetence knows no bounds.

I don't know how I'll handle migrating off of FA, but at the bare minimum I'll be posting on there a lot less. A huge chunk of my work will immediately get me banned off of it now so, given the insane fuckwits out there who'll report the entirety of my gallery again on a stupid whim with zero recourse, attracting as little attention as possible will be my safest option anyway.

I'm doing this wholly with the expectation that I'm going to lose the entirety of my 19 year archive on that site at a moment's notice, but I simply can't afford to let my now single largest audience go so completely to waste, at least not before encouraging them to find me elsewhere.

As of today, I've been running my own crowdfunding site for 5 years! The Yeariversary was yesterday, but I can still celebrate.

Thinking back to when I first launched the Candy Shop, I remember very vividly struggling hard with expressing myself in ways I wanted to. I was terrified of scaring folks away with the things I wanted to make - kinky or otherwise - and well, now look at me.

I sadly haven't had the time nor presence of mind to focus my efforts like I did this time last year for Kinktober, but I've been prioritizing some important life stuff and making bigger plans with my art for when hopefully won't be long from now. I'll be back to business as usual as soon as I can manage, cause I do miss making as much art as I can muster for y'all, and not of any one genre either.

Given recent events with my FA suspension and cohost's closure, I've definitely been thinking a lot about our collective online presence lately. I'm really grateful that I'd divested myself from relying on any one platform by having this site going for so long, even if the continued upsets and frustrations still affect me.

I know I say this often in these kinds of celebratory posts, but it'll always bear repeating; thank you for believing in this crazy pipe dream of mine. I've had to claw my way up to here slowly over these past 5 years, and the fact that I've gotten as far as I have is not something I take for granted. I know I do things a fair bit differently to my peers, in ways that might not be all that popular, and I often lament scaring people away and stifling my own growth. However, if that were true, then those of you here genuinely believe in what I have to offer.

And that means the world to me.

Here's to another exciting year.
