Coming back

(copy-pasted from Tumblr) Wow, this is a blast from the past... Sooo, I figured I owe everyone an explanation. No, but really! I'm so sorry to all the wonderful people here who I abandoned without a word! As previously mentioned, I initially started trying out a different fandom, but that was short lived. My interest in that evaporated faster then a cup of Surge on the surface of Venus.

But what really happened was I had some health related issues and was put on a new medication for it... the absolute highest dose (I didn't know!). The meds helped great for what they were supposed to do, but they killed ALL motivation, energy and a metric ton of feelings I previously had. It happened so gradually that I didn't make the connection. I thought "Wow, must be getting old, just don't have anything in me anymore". My life ended up in a years long depressive slump of sleeping, going to work, come home, eat, watch some garbage and going to bed. Rinse and repeat... and occasionally just sitting at home drinking cause I had no drive to do anything else on a Saturday night.  

Then I got a new doctor. After getting to know each other I started talking with him about how much of a slump I was in. He connected the dots and halved my pill dose. And wow... the change was fast! It only took a couple of weeks before the clouds started to lift, I don't feel like a robot going through the motions anymore, but actually like a person! I'm now putting the finishing touches on two new drawings in an attempt to scrape off all the rust I've accumulated. So expect new stuff shortly (but do be aware that I've gotten some more responsibilities at work, so I might not be as blazingly active from time to time).

Edit: Also, this account will still mainly be for adult-content, more general content you'll find on my Tumblr (and DeviantArt... for now, it's kind of dead, heh)

Again, I am so sorry! I've missed you, I just didn't know what to say!

Welcome back! glad to hear that your health is getting better.
Hopefully you can get off those pills asap. Sometimes they can do more harm than good.

Welcome back, and good to know the reason for your own hiatus. Strangely, my own creative drive is worsening for the opposite reasons, if it is anything medical, though I also am aware everyone’s experiences are different.

Regardless, look forward to see more of you again.

Thank you! It always suck when motivation is gone and you can't figure out why. I'm glad I finally got my answer and I hope you do too.

I’m glad you are back! Do you intend to finish the comic Magnet?
Baraturts

Thank you! We'll have to give Magnet a little extra time. It depends if I can get on with the script (alone or with assistance) and I need to get all this rust out of my drawing hand.

Obviously seconding the general need/want for more Magnet! But when you’re ready for it, if you choose to :)

Haha, I've gotten a lot of questions about the comic (understandably), so I guess I eventually need to do something about it. Just still need a lil' bit of time getting back in the groove of things.

Momo! "It's been 84 years..." I really ran face first - completely oblivious - in to ditch for a long while there, heh. It feels really nice to finally be back in the swing of things.
I hope you've been doing well!

Truly glad to see you return AND that you're getting better! Your Bay turtle art was always top-tier, and helped make them even more appealing back when they debated 👍

(Has it really been almost 10 years since 2014!?)

what a rollercoaster of a read. I'm glad you're healthy (or at least doing better)!!!! It's very exciting to see a journal/post from you :) welcome back!!!! (at ur own pace lol)
Baraturts
4 months, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, I was wondering a lot about how to write this journal... then I went, what the hell, just write it as it is, heh. And thank you, I've missed having some creativity in my brain hole.

This is wonderful news. I'm so sorry you had to go through such a hard time but I'm glad you found a doctor who could actually help you and that you are feeling better. I look forward to seeing your art again. Twitter is a hellscape but if you want to try out Blue Sky I have some invite codes.
Baraturts
4 months, 3 weeks ago
Thanks, it took a while, but better late then never! And I actually already made a Bluesky account, but... I think I've already abandoned it, haha. I just don't like the format of Twitter and Bluesky is basically just Twitter 2.0, heh. I think for now I'll stick with Tumblr and Inkbunny as my main hubs. (got a DeviantArt too... for now, but things seems to have died down there a lot, so dunno how long I'll keep it up. We'll see, perhaps I'll try a bit harder with Bluesky later)
SadoraNortica
4 months, 3 weeks ago
I get it. The format isn't the best. No pressure at all to be on either. You posting on here will give me a reason to check more often.
Baraturts
4 months, 3 weeks ago
Heh, yeah. I actually tried having a Twitter account at some point, but deleted it. That place is just a clusterf*ck.
SadoraNortica
4 months, 3 weeks ago
It is. Sadly there's not really anywhere tcest fans can go. Tumbler doesn't allow NSFW anymore and everywhere else is a mess. There was an attempt for Reddit but it didn't take hold.
Baraturts
4 months, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, it sucks how Tumblr disabled NSFW posts, it was THE fandom hub and now there's like no where to go that's got it all. But we'll make due with what we can.
