After a month-long fight, Artemis' system finally threw in the towel. We put her to sleep this morning.
I am crushed, and I don't really know what else to say.
She started slowing down shortly after her last suprelorin implant, and the xrays showed something, a weird shadow or cross-peritoneal sac encompassing her heart and liver, but none of the three avian vets who saw it could interpret what it actually was or what to do about it. We started her on some painkillers and antibiotics, and tube feeding liquid chow so she would not lose condition if she was not feeling well. We changed up antibiotics, we gave her an antiemetic for nausea, we tried different pain meds...
For a little while, she seemed to be improving. Whatever it was, it wasn't as visible on the next xrays, and her bloodwork looked better. She was moving around more and sleeping less (she'd been sleeping all day at the start), she could get up and down to the big perch on her own.
And then last night, her crop was a little squishy when I gave her her evening meds. I hoped that it was just that she'd finally eaten a good meal before bed, but when I came out today to give her morning meds, the blueberries from the evening before were still in her crop. That's NOT good. Her urates were also stained yellow. I called the vet and got an emergency appt, but I knew before I left that I would probably have to make the call to end it. I gave her a little time out in the sunshine and grass while I got the car ready, and then we drove down. She sat quietly, and didn't complain during the exam, but ultimately the radiograph showed the problem was still present, and her kidneys were shining bright. Her GI tract had slowed to a stop, her heartbeat was slowed way down, and her urates were showing crystals.
So, I said my goodbyes, and the vet did as well. Everyone was fond of Artemis- she was always well behaved and sweet to everyone she ever met. She loved people, she loved cuddles. She was only 6. I knew she wasn't going to make it a full, normal lifespan, not with everything that was wrong from the get go, but I had hoped for a few more years. I got a few more than she'd have gotten with anyone else. It's never enough.
Artemis was my favorite, from the moment she hatched. She was never mean- not to humans, not to other birds. She is the ONLY bird I've ever owned that was like that. She loved Stan from the moment she met him, and tolerated his weird social habits to the end of his days. They were ALWAYS together, always sitting in the sun together, always following one another. I'm honestly not surprised she followed him to death- there are so many anecdotes from keepers who have birds that spend weeks, even months, grieving after losing a close flock mate. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find Artemis had been holding onto life with both hands for Stan, and with his passing she gave up.
I am going to miss painting with her so much. I have her first painting, and her last, in my bedroom, and I'm really glad I didn't let that last one go yet.
I don't really know what else to say, besides that she was my heart. I loved her, and I hate that she's gone. There will never, ever be another lady like her.
Sleep sweet, lovely. I'll miss you til the end of my days, and I look forward to joining you at the meadow when that comes.

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au
turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else
now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident
also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out
#turbo#turbotastic#fix it felix jr#80s boyfriends#hammertastic#headcanon about them exchanging their trophies isn't mine but i loved it A LOT#and “darling” is turbo making fun of how felix was calling him in 80s#this hc about “doll” and “darling” pet names also is not mine but i adore it#turbo here is a complete freak who just stays around felix most of the time even when felix has moments with calhoun#and felix is an ass who keeps secrets from everyone bc he doesn't want his dirt to come out#he's ashamed of his previous relationship with turbo and doesn't want anyone to know any details#and calhoun to just know about it#this just gets worse and worse#they also didn't actually break up and were still technically dating when turbo went gamejumping#and he's mad af at felix because he's the reason ppl in the acrade made a boogeyman out of turbo and he couldn't come back#like imagine your bf says to you what you are better than others think of you#and then behind your (presumably dead) back tells everyone that you're just an egocentric maniac#i believe turbo has other reasons why he gamejumped (besides jealousy which took place but wasn't the most important reason)#and felix is an unreliable narrator#so yeah turbo HATES his ass#(but still would-) no im not making it suggestive#anyway i hc that turbo had put A LOT of emotions in this relationship even tho he's bad at this#he tried his best with felix but they were just making each other worse#and turbo while feeling betrayed never really moved on (yes even after 25 years he's PATHETIC)#and felix is just full of regret about everything but he won't admit his mistakes in his relationship with turbo#bc “well he turned out to be a bad person so that automatically makes me in the right about everything”#but felix had made a lot of bad decisions while dating turbo and was just classically ignorant about a ton of things#sorry about this random ass essay in tags i'm done for now#wreck it ralph#wir

my sis was talking to me about mouthwashing fandom discourse and if i heard about it and i was just like girl i got no idea what's happening in there i don't go in the tag i'm just in my little corner here drawing my self indulgent found family shenanigans
#i learned to not enter the tag from previous fandoms i've been in#i let the cool art come to me naturally on my feed like seashells being washed up on the beach#altho on utube i got a vid recommended to me of a dub of a comic where curly was using those pet talk buttons#i didnt click it cuz the thumbnail gave me enough to feel real uncomfy about it and i'm glad to hear i wasn't the only 1 who felt weird#but anyway i hope the fandom discourse doesn't find me in this corner#trash rambles

Trafficking technically being canon in pjo still- it just drives me insane.
Like yeah, it might be one(two if you wanna count ttc opening conflict) instances we see
BUT THAT STILL NOT GREAT
I mean it also is great for fic ideas- surprised I hadn't really seen it- but still.
Just insane to me. It's not even "the Titan Army is paying good money for demigods" it's "Luke Castellan is paying good money for demigods."
Like no matter what way your splice it Luke is at least complicit in it.
I know I get silly when writing him with the Leeluke stuff, but there's a reason I tend to focus on divorce Leeluke
Because it's so hard not to write him getting the consequences of his actions. Because he DOES STUFF LIKE THIS.
Especially with how I write Lee. If Lee found out the Luke was at least complicit in what's pretty much the buying of other demigods, he'd kill him with his bare hands. Being stuck as Kronos' vessel would seem like a mercy compared to how badly Lee would kick his ass.
Anyway... looks at my Fae!Lee/were-coyote!Luke au wip Suddenly that doesn't seem too out of pocket anymore...
#mine#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#pain rambles#pjo rant#luke castellan#lee fletcher#leeluke#kinda?#anti luke castellan#luke castellan hate club#tw trafficking#ugh#i know they're villains but every new thing i learn about the titan army makes me want to murder someone#if anyone tries to defend Luke on this one im gonna scream#he's sending some kids to die in the Labyrinth why apparently paying off anyone for bringing more demigods to him#ive mentioned in one of my previous post. the way demigods get treated by antagonists like items are pets is frightening#BUT IT BEING ONE OF THEIR OWN IS HORRENDOUS

ANGEL ATTACK!!!!
Shinshin is now a fully-fledged adult! Just look at her wings! She can barely fit on the kawoshin figure anymore, I can't believe she used to be so little... Old photo sessions here: 111, 222, 333 & rainbow
Warning! A close-up video of her mouthparts below may look spooky to some! (and mesmerizing to watch to others ^^)
And here's a size comparison with my hand :') just a 7 month difference
#I'll definitely do more photo sessions with her on my other models/figures#and add more funny videos with her that are only circulating reddit for now. the world shall know of shinshin#thank you everyone who's left nice tags/comments on previous posts I'm happy to know my dear bug is beloved by others too#kawoshin#bugs#mantis#kaworu nagisa#shinji ikari#evangelion#pet bug#mantises#mantids#bugs cw#bugs tw#shinshin the mantis

bonus: spent way too long agonizing over their body types so im including the clothesless version.
[attacks you with my beams attacks you with my beams]

Evie and Milo were very cute when we went to bring them their evening sacrifice (fresh food)
At one point Milo very briefly put his head on Evie's back and it was extremely adorable. He moved away again before I could take a picture orz
#milo even let me pet him a little today#which is unusual because his previous owner always picked him up and put him on his back#so they're both rather touch-averse#evie still is#their previous owner disliked her because she wouldn't put up with the picking up#she's a feisty little bunny#bunnies#bunny#milo#evie

Had my sister over during her work hours this week because her internet is currently not loading properly, and because big changes in routine mess with my ability to focus I switched from one personal project to this older one. The last time I'd worked on this was during 2022 where I added the block-in of the Gordon Setter and I felt now was a good time to finish it. Maybe I spent a little longer on it compared to the other busts, but apart from that it's interesting to see what a difference 2 years can make. It does look a little bit out of place 😅 but we'll see how much of a disturbance it'll be once more busts are added.
#digital#pet portrait#wip#gordon setter#also I found my monitor settings and tweaked them again#set the gamma too low last time#and it has been driving me crazy ever since because I couldn't see shit anymore lol#to be fair in the settings the 'correct' setting was that previous one#but apparently that can't be trusted so I used my art as reference point#I would have liked to increase contrast a bit too but there's no setting for that in my laptop#which is a shame but oh well#at least the darks are back to normal now and I have a new appreciation for that 😂
