Just a reminder that I will do requests if you ask. I don't mind. I don't have a sketch option on my commissions sheet so this is the alternative. Some extra points:

You can request sketches, which arent in my current commission sheet. But you may also request things in color and the like.

Think of this as an honest store thing. I wouldn't mind if you ask for renders or colors even if theyre on the commissions sheet. (I'll exert too much effort anyway)

Same communication terms as commissions. DM me and such.

I need groceries soon and would also love to complete the goal from last month.

Doesn't matter if its one coffee, I will do it. The only caveat is that I will nitpick less. You can also send requests in asks too I don't mind.

Go nuts! It's dire!

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS The Name Above All Names Feast Day: January 3

"Praised be Jesus Christ!" -Enchiridion Indulgentiarum

In connection with the circumcision and the naming of the Holy Child on the first of January, the Catholic faithful celebrate the feast of the Holy Name of Jesus.

Jesus is a Hebrew name which means, 'God Saves.'

In the Gospel of Luke, the archangel Gabriel revealed the holy name to Mary, when he announced: 'You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.'

In the Acts of the Apostles, in order to be saved, we must believe in the name of Jesus, as the apostle Peter said: 'There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.'

For this reason, all liturgical prayers conclude with the words: 'Through Our Lord Jesus Christ.'

Perhaps the greatest promoter of the Holy Name of Jesus was St. Bernardine of Siena, who coined the Latin Christogram, 'IHS', which stands for Iesus Hominum Salvator, which means 'Jesus, savior of men.'

At the end of his sermons, he usually displayed the IHS on a tablet in gold letters, and would ask the faithful to kneel in adoration. The devotion to the Holy Name became so popular, that the IHS was inscribed in churches, sacred vestments, and on the Eucharistic bread.

Something for drawtober? Idk what it's called but here's Storm from I Hope So in a vaguely lion king style. I've been meaning to try learning it, so why not kill two birds with one stone by doing lion doodles this month.

Anddd a bonus thing I did before that. Because it's technically fan art.

So I went to my gyno visit today at the Indian Clinic. I have been having issues hemorrhaging during my periods, off & on since 2013 (23yrs old, now 33). I already have children & my tubes are tied. I want a hysterectomy. My gyno is refusing.

Some Backstory:

A male gyno specialist (2013) refused hysterectomy & kept saying, "Tubals can be reversed. You might want more children. Hysterectomies are permanent."

I have three children & due to a hereditary disorder anesthesia increases my chances of seizures. I almost DIED during my last child's birth, C-section including tubal **AND** sedated.

When I told him I was firm on not having anymore biological children because of that. He kept pushing for 'uterine/endometrial ablation'. Which is where they burn off your uterine lining to pause your periods or can do it enough where you don't have another period. I told him no & sought a second opinion.

My second opinion was a female gyno who tested my hormone levels, ultrasounds, MRI &EKGs even to rule out pregnancy &/or hormone imbalance. Everything came back fine. Yet I was still hemorrhaging.

Female gyno insinuated I was either exaggerating or lying about the bleeding. So I saved a day's worth of saturated feminine products & brought them to her. She was grossed out, but realized I was telling the truth.

Female gyno placed me on Seasonique. A birth control pill which gives you four periods a year, to see if it would help regulate the bleeding. It did for almost a year, by then 2014. But it started giving me intense depression & irrational thoughts.

Female gyno told me to stop taking it & wait a month before trying something else.

During that time my right arm not my left would tingle off & on. I would get woozy & nauseous. Cold sweats & feel clammy. One night all of those symptoms descended upon me except with the addition of my heart racing. Not hurting just racing. & my body was screaming something wasn't right. It's one of the few times I can consciously say I knew I could be dying. It was scary.

I went to the ER & after testing I was having a cardiac event from a blood clot forcing itself through my heart. My white blood cell count was almost FOUR TIMES the amount a person usually has during a heart attack.

I was in the hospital for a little over a week, angiogram & making sure another blood clot didn't develop. They believe the Seasonique was the cause.

Since then I've just been suffering with the sporadic hemorrhaging since then. Which is now including debilitating & excruciating pain.

Which is why I went to the gyno today, different from the previous two. Only to be told that she wasn't going to give me an updated hormone screening, ultrasound, MRI, etc. She offered me ablation or birth control.

I told her I don't see the point in ablation. It has so many horrendous possible side effects, including hemorrhaging! Plus, she would want to do the type of ablation where it rids you of a period. But a hysterectomy does the same fucking thing.

& I'm not taking birth control. Not gonna to risk either exacerbating my depression or another heart attack.

She was trying to say: But you'll need hormones after a hysterectomy!

Me: & birth control isn't hormones?!

& that I want a second opinion on the hysterectomy. I am 33, my mind has been made up since I was 23, I have kids, I have a tubal & I'm basically praying for menopause the past five years. So I don't have to keep dealing with this bullshit.

She put in a referral for the second opinion & didn't bother to talk to me about pain management. She was too busy feeling butthurt that I know what I want & need & she couldn't give me a good enough reason why aside from, "Because!"

Sidenote: When I get my hysterectomy & I will. I want a shirt made that says:

"Ask me why I'm no longer hysterical, I'm just hilarious now."

This is how it happens right?

[searsage]

While Robin's presence is a welcome distraction, the truth is her alien companion is still alone, he has been for countless years, trapped within a suffocating solitude would have driven a human mad long ago..

Robin holds him almost as tight as his grip on her, Al-an is by no means as weak as a normal human and she's certain she will bruise from his strength alone, but she isn't fragile by any means and its a sacrifice she'll bare at his expense.

Robin tries not to let her own emotions get the best of her but Al-an needed her if only for the moment…

But it's an up hill battle, between his soft whimpers of unbridled despair and the sickening weight of empathy crushing her chest as the alien trapped in the shell of a man clings to her for dear life.

The researcher feels as if she just might shatter in his hold…
