Hello, I'm Bee!

Happy New Year! Or, new years...? It's 2025 and the shtick is a little tired- we've been saying this for at least 2025 years now!

First, a huge shout out to my close friends for all of the advice and empathy. Last year could have looked a LOT different without you.
I also want to thank the people who have contributed to me financially. I appreciate your trust in me, I hope my content is to your liking!

I hope this update isn't a huge shock.

Note on content:
In terms of my content within the next year, I plan on taking a step back from NSFW and commissions compared to 2024.
This doesn't mean a complete lack of content. It just means I won't feel completely obligated to post something every 2-3 weeks.
Perhaps every 1-2 months, at the most.

Note on commissions:
Story and art commissions for clients are on my to-do list. If I learned one thing about life, you don't f*ck with other people's money.
I will make sure any promised commissions are dealt with, but I will most likely get too busy to open anything else.
At the very least, we'll maintain communication. Thank you for sticking with me, I haven't forgotten about you.

Note on conventions:
In terms of conventions this years, I have plans to attend Megaplex 2025 as returning staff. I do not plan to attend FWA unless someone helps me out financially.
Fur suits are extremely expensive. If I do have some spare money, I would love to get the parts and just work on building a head and tail myself.

Note on communication:
I like to reach out to people and start the conversation. However, I may have trouble finding more time to expand or continue said conversation.
I am still interested in a conversation, but as you'll learn about me, I am extremely mood dependent.
Do not think I'm angry at you or holding a grudge if I haven't chatted in a while. I am probably just extremely busy, physically exhausted, or socially exhausted.

Personal note:
I need to ask myself more often, "what is the legacy I want to leave behind?"
Over the years, I've been embracing the SoftBee title on the internet and even IRL.
I need to be more careful, so I don't necessarily know how I plan to move forward with NSFW content over the next few years.
...What if I grow my presence online and become a minor celebrity? What if people IRL know about the NSFW content I post online?
Will it affect my professional career? Or, will the new generation understand that being NSFW in my free-time is normal?
Regardless, I won't have the luxury to shop around for jobs.
I don't plan on up-and-deleting all of my content randomly. However, this will be something I will have to consider more moving forward.

Regardless, I will see you guys around.

Happy New Year!
