September 2024 Update and Patreon Thank You!
Hi everybody!
It's September, so it's time for a site update and a thank you to all of Escher Girls' Patreon subscribers from August.
First, a quick Patreon update. Most of you probably already know that Patreon is changing their payment model to subscription only (so "per work" and "first of the month" billing will be removed by the end of next year) because of the Apple Store requiring subscription only for any users pay through the iOS app. Apple is also going to take 30% from all new subscriptions through their app (anything outside the app or done through browser is not affected). I ran a poll when this change happened and nobody answered that they used the app, and some users wanted me to stay on first of the month billing as long as I can, so that's what I'm going to do. Patreon allows users to opt out of the change until the end of next year, so I'm going to do that and see what happens next year. So, the bottom line is, nothing is changing for Escher Girls, we'll continue to stay on first-of-the-month billing, although I would recommend not using the iOS Patreon app to subscribe to anybody.
Second, for site update news, the important update is I figured out what was causing some posts not to post as scheduled sometimes and there should be no more problems. It was an issue with how often the site updates changes to posts after I make them, and it now updates more frequently, so there should be no more issues with scheduled posts not showing up. If you do run into any problems using the site, please don't hesitate to let me know by email or DM! Our next big site project will be to add tag cross-referencing, so you can search for posts with multiple tags (e.g. "boobs and butt pose" + "wtf clothing" + "marvel comics").
Third, as usual I'm going through the site archives and fixing posts from the past, adding titles to be more informative, fixing tags, adding screen-reader text to every picture, and fixing formatting and restoring broken pictures, and other issues. It's a long and manual process and we have thousands and thousands of posts, but I try to fix a bunch every month.
This month the restorations are:
- These two covers of War Goddess um... fighting a tentacle monster and getting a lot of ahem joy from murdering a monster
- War Goddess and her friend squeezing each other's heads off, the caption contest about it, and a redraw of it
- Spider-Woman falling as a jumble of body parts, and a great redraw and breakdown of it from Deanna M. Brigman
- A hilarious cover of Ms. Marvel where Carol is attempting to do... something... as her legs become an afterthought to her breasts
- A compilation post of all the "Nikki Doyle: Wild Thing" submissions I got in the past and a very nice redraw of Nikki by justthemiles
- Viola A.I. doing a boobs and butt pose swiveling at the waist like a turret from Zone of the Enders
- This battlethong and butt pose from Langrisser
- A boobs and butt donut pose from Danganronpa
- An extremely EXTREMELY painful looking boobs and butt pose from Gun x Sword
Also, as a reminder, we added a button that links to the Escher Girls Tumblr and to our RSS feed for those who want to follow that way. (For newbies, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed you can read using an RSS reader. Simply copy and paste https://eschergirls.com/rss.xml into an RSS reader and it will keep you up to date on Escher Girls!)
And now I want to thank all our amazing August Patreon supporters! Your support means so much to me because it helps me pay for domain costs and hosting, as well as for site upgrades like the ones we did a month ago which added the tag cloud and made the site easier to browse. It also allows Escher Girls to operate independently without worrying about Tumblr content policy changes or flagging.
So thank you so so much to:

And a sincere thank you to everybody who generally reads and interacts with the site, and people who participate in the caption contests because you're all great and hilarious! Your interactions make running the site very fun and worth it.
Also, coming up next week is the Escher Girls' 13th anniversary. I asked Patreon supporters to vote on what I should do for it, and they voted for a "best of" Escher Girls post featuring pictures from the archive that didn't get a lot of attention when they were first posted, so that's what I'm going to do.
Stay tuned!
