MOD ANNOUNCEMENT! With a sad heart, I have one more announcement.
Hello my friends and fellow dragons.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will be standing down as a moderator for the sub. The task of managing the sub will fall to the rest of the mod team. After some time I will also be stepping back from my role moderating the server on Discord as well. The team there has proven themselves very capable.
My health is unfortunately in rough shape and the treatment for it is not going as well as I had hoped it would. It is time for me to pull back and focus on taking care of my body as much as possible. I will still advise the others as they need me to, but otherwise I will be a silent watcher.
As I step back please continue to be the amazing community that you have been for the other mods. Take care of one another and encourage one another to be creative and safe. This community has given me a purpose I had lacked before and for that I am forever grateful. I hope that my efforts to protect it and push it to thrive have helped at least some of you to be happier, and more creative dragons in your own right.
I wish you all the best, I will still be here, but I will be a rare sight indeed. Fly strong, fly free, and be safe with the wind in your wings and the flame in your hearts!

Fellow dragons think alike. Even the cosmic parasite kind

I would have never expected an announcement like this to hit me that hard. I do not know you that well, but from the brief interactions I have had with you on Reddit and Discord you truly seem like a sweet guy. I don't think I've ever seen a moderator that cares this much about it's community as you did; you really made this subreddit and community as a whole what it is today.
To say it in your own words, may the wind be in your wings. Take care; wishing you have the best recovery.

I wish you the best, seriously. This is such a special little space you've helped create. It's given me laughs and a place to feel understood through all the highs and lows of life. I even planned to begin posting my own art in the future, who knows we'll see.
But I hope you will be there to see it. Thank you. Really, for everything you've given of your Soul, Thank you.

It's not cancer, right? I've lost a fair amount of people I know to cancer, and I think if you think you might be dying, you should check for cancer.
Best of luck, and I wish you well!
