Watercolor, washi paper, vellum, vinyl, cardstock, gold leaf, silver leaf, ink, rice paper, beading, silver thread

Challenging myself this time! I watched all of The Untamed in record time for someone like me, who can’t sit down and watch something to save my life. But this series…oh man. It’s indescribably beautiful. The story and characters are just so incredible, and I think I’m hooked for life. I just finished watching all of Grandmaster too, and now I’m starting the novels. I can happily watch/read this love story in a million different forms. Just beautiful.

Since finishing, I decided I wanted to do some fanart of it - starting with the live action (Untamed) since it was the first one I watched. I started it off as a sketch, with the intention of painting it and layering it with origami paper, a new challenge for myself. It ended up being layers and layers of washi paper, gold leaf, silver leaf, gel, origami, vellum, and cardstock. The strings on the guqin are hand-sewed in, and there is beadwork throughout. With visuals like the ones you get in this show, I felt the art had to go big. It meant this was a three week process, of roughly 1 - 9 hours a day. Another seemingly impossible challenge for myself, but on a steady course of Rooibos tea and protein bars, anything can get done…

All jokes aside, I’m so so proud of this. Thanks for viewing 💕

hi! can i ask what's ur opinion on giving pets away? not necessarily because u can't afford to care for em anymore but maybe incompatibility of personalities or maybe lifestyles. is it wrong to give ur pet for adoption if u know someone who's better suited for keeping a pet, like emotionally?

This is going to be controversial, but I support making that choice.

There’s a lot of rhetoric lately around how it’s evil and unethical to rehome your pet if you don’t “need to.” And what that does is prioritize human ideology over the actual animal’s well-being.

Pets that aren’t a good match for your home or pets that aren’t really wanted anymore frequently have lower welfare! When caring for an animal becomes a burden or is forced, people end up resenting them, and that means the animal often doesn’t get all of its needs fulfilled. Even if you’re still feeding it and providing appropriate vet care, how likely are you to provide affection or enrichment to an animal you’re tired of being stuck with?

Lifestyle and personality really matter to making sure a pet is a good fit for a home. A dog that alert-barks at every leaf that moves is probably a bad fit for someone who has a chronic migraine syndrome, and they might not know that until the dog has been in the home for weeks and started to open up. A really feisty kitten that requires a ton of play might not do best in the home of someone older who wanted a quiet lap cat. And while you can you do your best to plan to find a compatible animal, you won’t always know ahead of time what issues might arise.

“Forever home” rhetoric is really, really popular and I think it’s very unfair to the animals it is supposed to support. It started with the backlash of seeing animals abandoned inappropriately, and has been heavily reinforced in the public mind because it’s so frequently used to drive fundraising and support for legislation. The whole “forever home” concept communicates to people that getting an animal is an immutable commitment and that if you can’t keep an animal, it is a personal moral failing. It frames human priorities (we think people who get rid of animals are Evil and Bad and should be shunned) as more important than actual welfare needs for individual animals (are they getting the care they need where they are).

Obviously, I don’t support people dumping animals or just getting fad pets they’ll discard immediately, but there’s so many alternate situations that can arise. Even if it’s just “they got a pet and didn’t know what caring for it would take and didn’t want to care for it so they brought it back, how awful” like… okay, I’d like the person to have done more research before they got a pet, but isn’t it better that the animal now has a second chance to go to better home? Knowing what a commitment requires theoretically can be very different than having to actually follow through regularly, and I’d rather see someone maturely acknowledge that having an animal isn’t a good fit than keep it anyway!!

If animals being happy and with all their biological, veterinary, and social needs fulfilled is actually the goal, we need to prioritize their welfare over human opinion. I’d much rather see an animal rehomed responsibly to somewhere it will thrive and be welcomed than see people keep animals they can’t/don’t want to care for out of guilt or shame.
