Hi, my name is Sterling. In February 15th of 2024, I was laid off by my employer. For a while, unemployment covered most of my $1300 monthly rent, and food stamps covered $130 per month. I do not have a car because it was stolen from my neighborhood. Unemployment ran out in September, and I still have yet to find a job, despite having a Bachelor's degree and having 5 and a half years of experience as an Administrative Assistant, School (Learning Management System) Administrator, and Product Operations Specialist. I unfortunately do not have a degree in Education yet, but would like to pursue one when I am financially stable again. If anyone can point me to a job, I will gladly hand over details of my experience.

After my layoff, I have been dealt blow after financial blow, as well as had to cover rent, Lyft rides (due to not having a car), pet expenses (I have a cat), and food -- amounting to me being in $25,000 in credit card debt, nearly maxing out my cards. I am able to upkeep my payment for bills, maintaining my high credit score, but I will not be able to for long.

The lease is up for my apartment in May, and I simply do not have enough money in my checking account to possibly make it until then. I have $4,000 -- of which most of that money will be going towards breaking my lease, because there is no other financial option I am able to afford.

Anything, anything you can spare will help. Please share my story. I am hanging on the best that I can, but I absolutely cannot do it alone this time.

Thank you so much for your time.

Busy IRL, but finding places in between to get into RE4 Remake and draw bisexual hot messes for me because I’m an adult.

Hi @decaf-kitty I hope this message finds you well ^_^ This is Choi under a different handle (have multiples across the net nowadays 😅). Please feel free to message <3

This is fan art for my 2008 Spy vs. Spy story, “Another Pistol, Another Strawberry.” It was drawn by an artist named ChoiYugi, originally uploaded to y!gallery. I haven’t spoken to Choi in years since y! went down years & years ago, but her art was amazing and should be shared. My original fic is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20204695

I had a real nostalgia trip the last few hours so storytime...

Back in 2007, when I was a young college freshman, just learning how to be an independent adult (pffft hahahaha), I used to post to y!Gallery. I didn't have a specific fandom that I really wanted to draw for. I just wanted to explore gay smut and lemme tell you, the aughts was a helluva time to be growing up with the internet.

Then I came across Spy vs Spy. I never thought I'd get so enamored with a comic from MAD magazine, but hey, Mountain Dew commercials were surprisingly influential??

I know what you're thinking: These guys are supposed to be Black Spy and White Spy? I drew them stylized at one point because I got tired of one salty user's subtweet in an SvS club. I'm likely going to try another version that's more faithful to the classic Prohias style, but seriously, I like interpreting character designs from simplified shapes.

Moral of the story? Don't let some disgruntled asshat's comments get in the way of your joy. ʅ(ツ)ʃ

Fastforward to 2023, I got inspired to look up an online author who wrote one of my most favorite SvS fic after I found my first attempt at drawing a comic adaptation. So many complicated but positive feelings came up when I saw the familiar icon and the same comic page that I made on a Wacom Bamboo and Adobe Photoshop Elements... And that's how we got to this redraw :)

"Ada, wait --!"

[----] I think this is my first time ever finishing, let alone posting, a serious resi-fanart ._.)a

Transparently, this was done on a previous PC and man, were the colors much darker on that screen lol

Hi all! Do you remember me? No? It’s all good. Here’s a brief summary and re-introduction:

I used to post art to a fandom tag or two. Followed a few IRL peeps. Made a few new friends. Would’ve been a good time, but ultimately got tired of all the discourse that just couldn’t stay in its lane. This was before tumblr started implementing its own tag filters (shh, i know there’s xkit but I’m a simple person). Super unnecessary stress if you ask me.

It’s cool. Setting up healthy boundaries online didn’t seem to be a netiquette for some of the community in the 2010s.

ANYWAYS.

What I’m trying to say is: Hi, let’s try again, folks!

Those of you who are still active and forgot that you had this blog on your radar, hope you’re well. Looking forward to exploring fandoms and sharing some fun together :)
