The situation with Ukraine
Added 2022-03-03 21:55:46 +0000 UTCHey buns, dearest patrons who now, more than ever are keeping the channel alive.
In case you are not informed from my Twitch or Twitter, I wanted to let you know that right now your Patreon subs are making a huge difference for me.
I just fled my home in Kyiv, Ukraine (See: video below for my retelling of the story of what it was like to flee). Because of this , and the need to relocate several times - first to western Ukraine, then to Poland, and now to a place I can live for 2-3months. I have been unable to create Youtube content on the main channel ZeplaHQ. ZepLIVE received an update which is linked below.
I thank you for your continued support of the channel while I get back on my feet, in spite of the interruption in normal publishing schedule - especially via Patreon and Twitch donations at this time.
One reason Patreon is important now is that I am unable to access my Ukrainian bank account at this time due to an automatic system that blocked the card when I tried to buy gas in Poland. I called support to remove the block, but they don't answer, instead I get an automated message. I assume they are also moving operations to somewhere safer. I have sent emails to them and created web support tickets, so I'm sure I can get this resolved in the coming weeks, but this account kept funds made from Youtube as well as other transfers I had made in the past from other sources. Patreon funds are safe, however, as well as Twitch subs and new donations so thank you! Also, please consider supporting Ukrainian charities if it is possible for you, otherwise you can spread the word about them. I made a list here: https://twitter.com/Xepla/status/1497438043464249347?s=20&t=NiT8yTr7RROGr9627tva7A
As for patron rewards:
The Talk with Zep is on hold until I can be settled. I hope to do one this month still but it is TBA.
Some of you are Tier VII patrons but have not yet received your FFXIV gift reward yet. I will attempt to organize these to be sent out later in the month, after I settle in Portugal. I will stay in Portugal until the end of spring, at which point, I hope I can go home to Kyiv.. if there is still a home to go to.
Thank you so much for your support and understanding during this challenging time. Your financial support has lightened this burden for me and I am deeply grateful to you. I hope to return to normal content creation as soon as possible.

Zepla… I just watched your most recent video. As someone who has been in a mental health program for the last two years of his life, I say this — with NO judgment: you need a consistent therapist. You can teleconference if need be, but you were in a warzone. If you can, beg or borrow, get yourself a therapist — one who cares, you need to do it. It sounds to me like you have a decent amount of PTSD, alongside a level of trauma almost anyone would find difficult to live with. Survivor’s guilt, too, if I’m any judge. Get the help you need, please. It has to be a priority for you. It won’t be easy, but mental health on this level is serious.
