(Part 1) (Part 3)

A lot to go through today, so please bear with me and read it all!
This post is a LONG one, but I hope it’s the last update on ANY of this shit I need to make! As always I love you all and thank you so much for your continued support!

Part 2: Finding Myself Again

By the time February started, aside from the meds bringing all that shit up, like I said- I had started to realize I had left a LOT of myself behind over the last few years. My room isn’t decorated, my boxes still aren’t unpacked from the move nearly 2 years ago, my Altar isn’t set up in my room, I hadn’t put on clown makeup ONCE in the last year and a half, I haven’t gone out with friends, I’ve barely talked to anyone online- I woke up, I fought The Demons™, if I was lucky I could do art or marketing, the day passed and when I was too tired to function I went to sleep.

Finally having the energy to do ANYTHING about that made me realize I needed to start bringing shit back into my life that brings me joy, and amusement, and giving myself reasons to fucking live again.

Followers and friends may have noticed that there wasn’t a single post that I would make on social media that wasn’t art or stress related over the last two years, and that’s because those two things were ALL I fucking had on my plate, and I couldn’t fucking do ANYTHING to change it.

Now, I have the ability to, and I’ve already been implementing a SWATH of changes to my life, starting with social media.
If you’re following me on Facebook or Bluesky, you’ve likely already started to see some of those changes; I have reactivated my old FB profile under the name Ash Strangelove, and started a second BSky account under the name The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove- This is my clown name, and they will be used as my Personal Profiles, where I will be getting back to posting clown content and everyday life shit- and where I have already started trying to interact HEAVILY with the people I consider to be my closest friends.

On top of this, I have turned my Backup TikTok account into my primary art account, and turned the one I had been using for my art the last year- which was originally my clown account, BACK into a personal/clown account.

These changes will continue happen as I continue to wrest Myself back out from those pits and claim my life for myself again- I have plans to get full force back into my lifetstyle clown ways, doing makeup daily (I’m not there yet) even when the only thing I have to do that day is art, and going out to clubs and events, and making new friends and meeting people.

And while that may seem like a LOT to add to my plate if I was having so much trouble with just Wake Up- Do Art- Sleep over the last couple years, it doesn’t FEEL like it will be anymore- and I feel like it won’t be ANY kind of effort to juggle that shit with my art moving forward (one I get the balance right- which is, admittedly, a bit hard right this moment since my brain is ONLY focusing on clawing my life back out into existence, but I know it’ll only take a bit longer and I’ll have it).

I hope that people can be excited for me about all of this, because I do worry that in halting everything and getting my mental health back in order, that I’m letting a lot of people down; but I also have to just be frank and say- While I AM sorry, this isn’t something I WANT to do, it is a visceral need for my own sanity and mental health. I was dead last year, and the year before, and I was barely living for the three years before that.

I cannot continue that cycle, and I CANNOT let myself slip back into it; I NEED to be Me again. So, please pardon my dust.

Now, that said, if you want to follow me in my personal life journey and be a part of all of that, you’ll find a bunch of links below. I do not plan to market or push any of this on anyone, because it’s not about art or business- and if you DO follow me on these profiles, you are going to be seeing a MUCH less professional and much more authentic side of myself that I will NOT be cock-blocking for anyone’s sake.

Before providing links, content warning for these profiles:
The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove is ME – not an act, not a performance, and not a character. While I go by Ash Strangelove, and will happily still go by just Ash, this is not a business, it’s not a source of revenue, it’s not an anonymous shitposting account, and it’s not tame.
I will post about my very far-left-wing politics and share a bunch of shit regarding that all the fuck over these profiles.
I will re-post adult content, adult content creators, and may post MY OWN adult content- not art, but me.
Nothing I do in my personal life should be considered SFW, and nothing I do on these profiles should be considered safe for minors.
I will regularly post about BDSM, Kink, Fetishes, Alt Lifestyle shit, as well as anything else that crosses my mind.
It is going to be un-filtered, and it is not going to have absolutely fucking ANYTHING to do with my art (although I will reshare and repost my art to these accounts for extra visibility).

So, if you want to be invited into that side of my life (if you aren’t already there), and understand those things, then I welcome you. But if you have ANY reservations about any topics that might come up because of the above disclaimer- then for both of our sake, just save us both the trouble and keep to my art accounts; I don’t want to lose friends over any of this, but I’ve also been very blatant about the NSFW side of everything I do for a decade, and if you don’t get it by now (even despite my hiatus from life) then there is a chance it may happen- but I’m not going to continue holding myself under water for anyone else’s comfort starting this year.

You can find me as The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove at the following locations (currently):

• The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove Tumblr
• The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove Bluesky
• The Ubiquitous Dr Strangelove Tiktok Account
• The Ash Strangelove Fetlife Profile – (Just search @Ash_Strangelove)
• If you are on an Apple phone, and have access to the BSky photo app Flashes, you can find me there under the same username as BSky
• The Ash Strangelove Facebook Profile

In the near future, more locations may arise, but for now, these (in order) will be my primary homes; I will not be starting an X/Twitter or Instagram for any other Meta platform- and I am working on removing my presence from any similar site that heavily supports/implements/uses AI and forces it on its users- for both my art and my personal life.

Now, moving forward, this seems like a good place to stop- I’ve said what I needed to for this section, and I leave the rest up to y’all as my friends/followers/fans.

Part 3 is going to be the actual changes I’m going to be implementing to Ash Something Art- my business model as well as just fucking everything else to do with my art and my presence online, as well as what projects I wanted to do that I will likely be putting on the backburner and so forth. It’ll take awhile to write it all out, but it should be up and posted before Noon PST.
