Firstly - thank you!! That's very sweet, I can't believe you remember the old tumblr days...
I forget exactly what I said back in 2022, but I've always only intended to use this account to draw whatever feels fun in the moment, with no pressure on myself to fulfill a client's or audience's wishes. I think I just didn't feel like drawing furry stuff back then and wanted to branch out for more growth, and felt I had to say something to not confuse people who would ask to see certain characters.
My main motivation for pulling away/privating in general is that my schmuccubus account(s) got way more traction than I ever expected, and was often nsfw, and since I have a professional art career I got concerned it would spread too much out of my control. Furry stuff, god bless, especially seemed to travel fast, so I think that might have also been why I honed in on that!
I don't really have qualms about anything I post now, I'm enjoying the privacy of schmuccubus being either 1) a locked account or 2) on a smaller social media site like Bsky, so I can keep being freely indulgent online :) It's been nice for me!
As for being "back" - to posting or to furry/specific art - the sort of pressure of that label, though well-meaning, has always made posting on schmuccubus feel like it has to be more of a commitment than it is. It's just a personal outlet for me, for when I feel like it. If people like what I draw here, that's awesome and an added bonus. But I really can't guarantee the type of art I'll draw, or how frequently I'll draw it, sorry! (I feel you're understanding and genuinely curious, and I just meant that as a general statement to everyone - thank you for asking!)
