She's given content off platform from before she even started doing nudes. She is very active on Reddit DMs. She loves tributes and talking to fans. She was sending people nudes for a while before selling. It's possible that's where it came from
She still posts the nudity/etc but she got covid mid/late october and slowed down quite a bit. Seems to be once every 2 weeks or so now where she posts herself instead of her comics (I used to subscribe but don't anymore but I still see the posts so I know when it's her vs comics)
She frequently complains about the way people on reddit treat her; I imagine that as she became more popular she received more hate, so she probably disabled her contact options. What a shame, she seems very nice and, from what you say, down to talk about things.
She's sent pictures on reddit to me before (dm's) before she started charging for content. She's an actual exhibitionist and very fun. It wouldn't surprise me if she was sending people spicier stuff than she posts publicly on patreon in dm's for people.
