Emergency, please help
I hate to do this, but one of my cats is very sick. I'm not sure what it is yet but we don't get paid until later this week and we don't have that kind of time.
I don't know what to do. His name is Stinkman and he's my baby boy, and I'm so scared of losing him. Here's some photos of him if you need. I don't know how much we'll need to get him seen, I just know we need help.

Forgot I didn't post J0nny and Bee, @crocutaclan 's OC. J0nny found him in a space landfill and will literally kill for him. Do NOT separate them!

Here's more of my Mechanisms OC's- this one is Rachael! She's a half-phoenix that was exposed to a time anomaly. She joined up with J0nny's crew in an attempt to find solace with others who couldn't die, but in the end she found him fucking insufferable. They split on very bad terms, but she still has Bee on space snapchat.
She shifts randomly between the ages of 17-50 visually, and hopes to one day be able to properly complete the natural phoenix life cycle. She's not sure if she ever will be able to though, due to only being half-phoenix. She's also a welder, specifically working on the hulls of unique and rare spaceships. Millenium ago, she briefly had a snit with Nastya because of the way she was idly talking about Aurora (looking respectfully), LONG before she joined up with J0nny. She never put two and two together, and prefers to not think about her time on his ship.

Here's J0nny's updated refsheet, ft. The Murdy Gurdy! After the Bar Incident, he starts really considering who he is outside of his namesake, and changes his look a bit. He also carries around the gear he pulled out in the fight and keeps it like a fucked up good luck charm. I'm actually making his denim jacket irl because its dope. More about J0nny below!
Post-reboot J0nny's really about self discovery, finding out what and who he is outside of his prescribed identity. Finding what parts he wants to keep and what he's going to discard and grow from. He also cries under the skin. It'll well up in the corner of his eyes, then just sink below it, making his "makeup" run. He's also got blue insides! His blood is the right color, but oily almost.
His eyes are synthetic and mostly mechanical, and light up/glow when hes excited. He's got a mechanical heart obviously, trying to imitate Jonny-real's mechanism, but its rudimentary at best and isn't the source of his immortality. He has chunks of metal machinery embedded in his brain that shorted out during his reboot, slowing his thoughts down and letting him think around his in-coded Jonny d'Ville identity.
His real "mechanism", if you can call it that, is his vocal chords. They're made of tape recorder ribbons contained in a magnet-proof case in his throat. These tape ribbons contain recording fragments of Mechanisms shows- specifically, Jonny's parts in those shows. His creator (who he immediately killed when he was let out of his grow-tube) survived a show and got weirdly obsessed with the idea of traveling around with the Mechanisms and being buddies with them. His "mechanism" makes it so that he sounds almost just like Jonny-proper, aside from crackling noises and occasional popping, which get much worse after the reboot and as time goes on. Eventually, the tapes probably will sound so worn and warped that he wouldn't be recognizable by voice, but that's for another day. Mostly, he sounds just a little electronic, just slightly.
J0nny's creator also planned on creating mock-ups of all the Mechanisms, but Jonny was really his focus- J0nny was just the very first prototype and an unfinished specimen. He was going to be killed after he ran a few tests, but J0nny killed him before he could even start, and took off.
Due to his coding that ran in the machinery in his brain, he was compelled to tell stories in song, perform shittier versions of all their albums, and collect his own "crew"- This comes in the form of random quasi-immortals he finds through his travels, most of who leave in relatively short time. The exception would be @crocutaclan 's OC BBot, or Bee for short, who becomes J0nny's consistent right hand man. Bee is actually the one who reboot's J0nny after he attempts to self terminate after the bar fight incident, and the act of rebooting him fries something in the circuits that lets him think around the prescribed identity and grow.
J0nny also has trouble differentiating between organic and non-organic beings. Because of his place in-between, the difference is really blurry to him. He insisted for millennia that Bee was "just an organic guy with weird meat!" before he eventually relented after the reboot.
He can play harmonica shittily, but is really good on the Hurdy Gurdy. He found his in a space goodwill and customized it with paint and a knife on the crank. It's his most prized possession. He's also much more skilled with a knife than a gun, but he does carry both. His go-to knife is chipped on one tooth from the bar fight.
J0nny is really attached to beings he considers his crew, and would do anything for them. That being said, he also would torment them if he thinks it would be a good bit. J0nny also is a criminal, and loves killing, generally. He's got the same moral hard-limits as Jonny-proper, plus a few more because I don't like writing child torment lol.
I wanna make it clear that J0nny isn't Jonny- that's the whole point. I've had some issues with that in the past, people assuming that he's just "Jonny but better/worse lol" but he's his own guy. That's his whole character arc, realizing who and what he is and what that means. I've put a lot of my own heart into his guy and he means the world to me. Please be kind.
Also his tongue is blue! <3

Commission I did for @mg-and-eli-of-the-world ! Literally SO excited to do this piece, drawing these two was both fun and inspiring, especially considering the fact that the comic inspired me to make my fursona, Buck. Go check out the comic if you haven't already!

Some more drawings of my Mechanisms OC J0nny, a prototype clone of Jonny who fully believed he WAS Jonny d'Ville, until he killed a man who looked just like him in a barfight. I've tweaked his looks, makeup especially in his "post reboot" (ie after he "dies" after the event too and is revived by his best friend and right hand man), and that ref sheet is incoming! But I've been obsessed with this guy lately. Bastard of a man. I pronounce his name like ja'am but with Jonny. A ton more things about him, but I can put that under his ref sheet. <3

Hey, me again, please reblog. Opening emergency commissions because this job is. So bad.
Im the food buyer of my five person household and the new job I was so excited for is actually unbearable in practice. If anyone wants to help out, I've got commissions open, or donos if you don't want me to draw you something.
$10 "surprise me" Peices, basically where you don't have an idea and you let me decide, full body and colored, which I haven't added to the commission sheet yet.
More info here:
