This is now officially closed. I have stepped away from CWs and Subeta. I will likely be MIA for long periods of time. If you missed the window to ask for your PSDs before I fully stepped away, please read through the following and remember to be patient. Under no circumstances should you message me offsite to try to get a faster response.
If you're looking for permission to edit / recolor CW designs you bought from me, you'll need to purchase the PSDs and Design Rights from me before you can do so. I understand that due to me not being on the site often, this may be difficult or take some time. Please be patient, and do the following if you'd like to purchase those:
If you have not followed these simple directions, you will not receive a response.
Please note: I cannot guarantee that I will respond to smails by any deadline. Unfortunately, my real life situation dictates that I need to have other priorities right now. You can read more about that down below if you so choose.

Below, in the spoiler I am going to explain why the sudden change is happening. First though, I would like to just say that I'm sorry that I cannot keep doing this longer. I had every intention to keep this open as long as I possibly could. Unfortunately 'as long as I possibly could' ended up getting shortened much more than I initially planned. As always, I am willing to do my absolute best to work with anyone who communicates with me. So if you need something different than what I'm offering, please just ask and talk to me and we'll work together to figure something out.
TW: Sensitive Topics
I'm sure at this point, this is not going to come as much of a surprise to anyone who's been around for a little bit. This decision is being made with respect to my health.
Quite a few years ago, I made the decision that what was going on with me was no one's business but my own. And while I've talked about tiny bits of this here and there, I have kept most of the severity of things quiet. I didn't want to make people worry, trauma dump, or encourage people to feel any kind of obligation to support me.
I am still going to mostly keep this to myself for those reasons, but I am going to talk about what I feel comfortable saying, and what I think people might need to know to actually understand.
I am chronically ill and disabled. I started to struggle with my physical health when I was a teenager and just sort of collected more conditions as I got older. I have been struggling with disability my entire life, I just didn't have a name for a lot of it until the last few years. It's been incredibly hard for me to even want to talk about it because I feel like somehow I could just… be better if I tried harder. Or that perhaps, my experience is not as bad as it could be, so I should simply keep it to myself. Neither of these things are fair to myself, but I'm sure I am by far not the only person experiencing these things that feels the exact same about themselves.
These things are (of course) impacted greatly by stress. And my summer break has made me finally understand just how much stress I was actually withstanding while being here on Subeta. It crushes me coming to this realization, because I genuinely love Subeta. Petsites feel like they are a part of my DNA.
Making this decision is incredibly difficult, but is necessary. I cannot properly manage any of my conditions when I am overwhelmed by stress. This last year I was finally able to find a doctor to help me start to manage one of my more serious conditions, and this has really made me feel like my health needs to actually be a priority, for real this time with no compromises. I've made some serious life changes since then, and it has helped me greatly. Unfortunately though, I keep finding myself slipping, in particular when my stress gets high and I feel like I can't take care of myself anymore.
After this year, I am going to be taking a true break from Subeta, and no longer pressuring myself to come back because of 'what if's like I have kept doing for the last year. If I come back, it'll be when I am truly ready to return and it'll be on my own terms and comfort levels.
I know this is a lot, and I am sure it's hard to understand, but I hope that people can at least try to. I'm sorry this sucks and I totally understand if my choice here makes people upset because of the position this might put them in. I wish there was a different way to go about this, but at this time, there isn't. I've torn myself apart trying to pick the 'right' choice here, and this is just… the best I can do. Again, I'm sorry.
I hope it's okay to pop in and really really love the way you've organized your shop, it's so sleek. Good luck with the designs and the new shop thread!
Whoa those are beautiful... wish I wasn't broke. Keep up the amazing work! ;-;
I am literally a struggle bug with coding, so TY. I worked SUPER hard on coding this and I'm happy someone noticed omg lmao.
I LOVE it! My shop is just this huge wall of text and I feel like it's so hard to parse. You did a great job!
Coding is so hard though? Like I'm sure it's mostly just a me issue here but it makes me go cross eyed looking at it for too long. I so BADLY wanted to learn coding when I was younger but it just doesn't connect in my brain properly. lol I've settled with tiny victories like a clean shop front. x'D
Haha it is, all the more reason why you deserve praise. ^_^ You did goooood.
Yep! First post is kept as up to date as I'm possible of keeping it :)

[center] 🌹 👻 Sept
Yes, I should still have the files :) Just check out my ToS and send me an sMail with what you want!
okay, i think i will wait for a recolour sale :P
[center] 🌹 👻 Sept
I don't do recolor sales or bundles anymore. The only thing I offer now is my Palette Book discount. (more information is in the first post.)
yes i have read that, says sometimes you do super sales?
[center] 🌹 👻 Sept
I do, but it's for new colors, not existing colors unless there are very special circumstances. (I do not have any current plans for a super sale that will include past colors.) You're definitely welcome to wait though, I just can't promise my next batch of colors will be ones you'll specifically be interested in or anything, of course.
okay well i can't afford to do 5 for them little things so i'll wait and hope for a sale :)

I'd love to claim a USD Comm Slot and a USD Recolor Slot please:
Comm Request Username: Reaper Request: A basic tank top. I like the neckline/shape/length on this and this, but maybe with thicker straps that are more like the width of the over the shoulder part on your tank. Original Color would be black Changes: N/A Item image: I've run out of creativity so maybe just the tank kinda folded? I'm gonna call it Basic X Tank Top Offer: USD - this falls into Medium I believe so ~ $45+ Other: not that I can think of :) Have you read my TOS?: Yes
Recolor Request Username: Reaper Item Requesting Recolors: Overlay Colors: same initial color (that kind of khaki) in which we drop the pockets and sheriff insignia but keep the rest of the design to make it a more basic button-up Other: for the Icon same CI but without the gun. Total: USD - it's slightly bigger alterations so I think it's $10+ Have you read my TOS?: Yes
As always take care of you first and foremost. Real life is far more important ❤️
