it me

[juniper-pines]

Posting again because this is still a thing

I'm still far behind in my bills, and I'm doing my best to cover everything, but I'm just not making the ends meet yet

I have some options, and I'm still working on them, but... if anyone can help, just any relief from this situation is monumentally appreciated

Things will turn around, I know it. I just have to hold on and keep working until it happens. Please, if you can, help me hold on for a little while longer ;u; <3

A Plea...

I'm still having a ton of financial trouble. It's making it so difficult to get anything done, including my comm backlog... My job doesn't have any work for me atm so I haven't been able to pay bills again, and I'm postponing doctor's appointments, and am almost at the point where I'll be going without medicine for a while if I can't pay for it :C

Please consider my Gofundme. It's absolutely the most helpful, as it lets me continue doing other work. My absolute thanks for anything that goes here. Really, and truly, you're saving a life.

Sometime during the next few days I'll be doing a *lot* of art streaming. I haven't done it consistently in over a year, but I think it's about time to just start doing it again.

I'll be streaming on Twitch, completing my commission backlog while doing on-the-spot doodle commissions for $5 and up (donations and tips greatly appreciated).

3. I'll be reopening commissions once I get about 80% of my current backlog finished. I'll try to have a nice form and all together for it by then.

Thank you all, again, for all the support. You're really helping save a life. I can't stress enough how much you've helped me out this past year. Thank you, as always ;u;

STORY

It happened at the beginning of the Meiji Era, when Edo was transformed into Tokyo.

Machida Hasanari, a former samurai of the Satsuma clan and the first director of the Tokyo National Museum, encounters a ghost of a Shogitai soldier on Ueno Hill. The both of them inadvertently become friends without knowing each other's true identities. And, they get caught up in a commotion surrounding the construction of the museum.

This is a little story about the events leading up to the construction of the Tokyo National Museum on Ueno Hill.

NOTE: The Shogitai was an elite assault troop, which was part of the forces of the Tokugawa Shogunate. This meant that the Shogitai and the Satsuma clan would've been enemies.

✨Sleepyhead✨

(Words: 1512)

(Pairing: Ryo x Satsuma)

(Warnings: None! This is fluffy.)

(For the user who requested it. The sing mentioned will be linked.)

Sunlight filtered through the music club room window, illuminating the room. More importantly, the rays of light made the room warm, and perfect for napping..

Which Ryo couldn’t seem to do. He was used to sitting in the room with his club members, and he’d often fallen asleep just like this. Something was off... Different. It was making the blond man tense, for some reason.

Ryo looked around, and still couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He was lounging on the sofa next to the window, as usual. Satsuma sat in silence, having mentioned something about studying.

That’s when it hit him; Satsuma was being quiet. Even when he swore silence, Satsuma had a habit of muttering to himself when he studied. Whether it was reading aloud, or taking verbal (perhaps mental?) notes, Satsuma always made noise.

Ryo considered that maybe Satsuma was angry, but it made no sense. If he was angry, surely he’d be yelling at Ryo.

With frustration and curiosity rolling about in his mind, Ryo could take the silence no longer. He stood and stretched, waiting to see if Satsuma reacted. He didn’t.

So, carefully, Ryo slinked over to Satsuma. He gently called, “Yo, Satsuma, you good?” No response.

Ryo leaned down to peek at Satsuma. When he finally realized what was happening, his heart nearly stopped.

‘No way.. Is Satsu really asleep?’ Ryo thought, peering closer at Satsuma. Indeed, it appeared the grey haired boy was sleeping, with his head rested on his non-dominant hand. Part of Ryo wanted to reach out and remove the hand from holding up Satsuma’s head. He knew better, because Satsuma would absolutely assault him if he did that.

Ryo grinned to himself. ‘So, even the great Satsuma Kadonooji can get burnt out..’

And Satsuma really did look burnt out, upon closer inspection. He had deep bags under his eyes, and his uniform was messy- Both things were very unusual on Satsuma.

Without thinking, Ryo slowly reached out. He grasped Satsuma’s glasses and pulled them off; If Satsuma needed sleep, he shouldn’t do so with his glasses on.

Despite Ryo’s attempts to be careful, Satsuma still startled awake.

“WHAT- What are you doing?” He demanded, looking confused and bleary-eyed.

“Took your glasses off, what are you doing?” Ryo smirked, and stood up straight. He crossed his arms over his chest.

“Studying! Something you should do more of.” Satsuma bit back defensively, obviously caught off guard. His face was flushed with embarrassment, a look that Ryo rather enjoyed.

“Looks like you should do it less, Satsu. You’re exhausted.”

“I’m not studying too much, I just..” Satsuma sighed and rubbed his face, as if trying to wipe off the emotion on his face. Ryo cocked an eyebrow at him, waiting for Satsuma to continue.

“I can’t sleep.” Satsuma finally relented, staring between his fingers at the half-completed assignment before him. “I haven’t been able to sleep at all, lately.”

“Oh.” Ryo nodded. “Well, you slept just now, right? So maybe you should go back to the dorms and give it a try.”

“Maybe..” Satsuma glanced at Ryo, with the idea that Ryo’s presence made it easier. Despite their petty squabbles, Satsuma did take a lot of comfort in Ryo being around. He was woefully unaware that it was mutual, so he couldn’t dare ask that Ryo just sit with him for a while.

“How about this-“ Ryo gave Satsuma that sly smirk he always had when he got an idea. “I can go get you some sleepy tea, and some other sleep-help-whatevers. I’ll meet you at your dorm, and if you still can’t sleep we can figure something out.” Ryo looked so convinced that this little plan would work, that Satsuma couldn’t say no.

Satsuma sighed, and nodded. “Fine. I guess it could work..” He removed his hands from his face and gave Ryo a half-hearted, very exhausted smile. “I’ll see you later?”

“Hell yeah you will!”

-.-.-

Satsuma sat in his bed, fidgeting. He, of course, couldn’t sleep. Ryo still hadn’t visited, and that was just keeping Satsuma awake even more.

When a small knock sounded at his door, Satsuma nearly leapt out of his skin. He had been drowsing, or maybe he was lost in thought. “Coming!” He called, as he scrambled to open the door. When he finally managed to swing the door open, he was shocked to see Ryo standing there with multiple bags.

“Sorry it took so long, I got distracted..”

“Of course you did.”

“Hey! Either way, I got sleepy time tea, a mask- It has cats on it!- some lavender incense, and a weighted blanket.” Ryo grinned, and Satsuma almost stumbled.

“How much money did you spend, Ryo? I’ll pay you back for everything-“

“Nope! You won’t, because I won’t tell you how much it cost. Just relax, you need sleep.”

Satsuma decided not to argue for now, because Ryo was being stubborn and he was so tired.

“Alright.. Well.. What now?” Satsuma asked, awkwardly sitting down on his bed.

“You take the blanket, and the mask. I’ll make the tea and burn the incense!” Ryo didn’t wait for a response, he just shoved the items into Satsuma’s arms and shuffled off, leaving Satsuma alone again. With a sigh, Satsuma removed the blanket from its package and slipped on the mask.

No matter how much he adjusted and relaxed, Satsuma still couldn’t sleep. He quietly cursed himself, because if he could just sleep Ryo wouldn’t be going through all this trouble for him.

After ten minutes, Ryo very ungracefully returned. Satsuma had half a mind to curse at him for being so loud, but he found he just didn’t have the energy.

“Still awake?” Ryo stage whispered, peeking over Satsuma. Satsuma groaned and rolled over to face Ryo.

“No, I’m asleep.”

“You’re awake.”

“I was being sarcastic.”

“I knew that!” Ryo tutted and stuck his nose up. “I’m trying to help! Stop being rude.”

“You’re right, I’m sorry.” Ryo seemed shocked that Satsuma had actually apologized, but he didn’t comment.

“If the incense and tea don’t help, then we’re going to the hospital.” Ryo said casually, while lighting the incense.

“What? Absolutely not!” Satsuma protested.

Ryo fixed another stubborn stare on Satsuma. “Satsuma, something is up. Obviously. We might have to get you some sleeping meds, and if that’s the case why wait ’til you collapse?”

Despite the fact he thought Ryo was an idiot sometimes, Satsuma knew Ryo was right in his matter. “Fine.”

Another grin nearly knocked Satsuma out. “Thank you! Now lay down.”

“I can’t lay down and drink tea.”

“Good point. Well, move over. We can listen to calming music while you drink.” Ryo motioned first Satsuma to scoot over, so Satsuma complied. The close quarters makes Satsuma nervous, and he could only pray that Ryo didn’t see how much he was blushing.

Ryo pulled out his phone, and Satsuma nearly choked when he saw the background. An old picture from a night of karaoke, with Ryo hanging off Satsuma with that familiar grin; Satsuma looked flushed and wild. If he hadn’t known the context, Satsuma would have thought he had a fever in the picture. In reality, he had just finished singing a very heartfelt rendition of ‘Cat’ by Relient K. The song always reminded him of Ryo, so he had sung it as a way to relieve himself of his pent up emotions.

“Why is that your lock screen?” Satsuma squeaked.

“Because, it’s a good photo. Besides, you deserve a spot on my lock screen.” Ryo nodded as he spoke, as if it wasn’t worth arguing.

Not that Satsuma could argue.

“Just play the music, please.” Satsuma leaned back against the wall next to Ryo and took a sip of the tea. It was rather relaxing, if he was honest with himself.

Ryo noticed how Satsuma seemed to finally settle a little. He smiled to himself, because the small victory was worth the bickering. Satsuma may actually sleep, and that was enough.

Without another word, Ryo put on a playlist of calming music and offered Satsuma an earbud. Satsuma took it with an appreciative nod. They sat in comfortable silence until Satsuma finished his tea. When he tried to get up to put the cup away, Ryo gave him a stern glare and took it. He casually chucked it somewhere, which caused Satsuma to smack him.

After they settled back down, Ryo was utterly delighted to hear Satsuma snoring gently. He glanced over just in time to catch Satsuma as he fell sideways.

Directly onto Ryo.

Ryo felt his face light up with blush, but there was no way he was about to move Satsuma. He did, however, pull off Satsuma’s glasses again. This time, Satsuma didn’t stir.

Suddenly it dawned on Ryo how tired he was. The incense and music was doing a number on him, plus being with Satsuma under a weighted blanket.. It was like he had died and heaven had been constructed around him.

It wasn’t long before Ryo drifted off, falling asleep under Satsuma.

Help Please! Commissions! Art for Doodles! Drive to Immediately Stabilize!

So I have a little under 80 days as of this writing to make about $8,000.00 - $10,000 USD

I have been struggling without work. Unpayed bills from the past few months have piled up. I've lost so much already, and I'm at risk of losing even more. On top of that, I need to move halfway across the country by the end of October, since the family I'm staying with is moving out of the country. I can't really follow them with my financial situation.

This escalation happened about a week after I had finally reached a point where I'm able to complete commissions and take in new ones. So now I have additional plans and schedules and stuff that need to be done... Additional money needs to be made, and fast, before I can settle into a more sensible work flow.

So... I'm doing everything. EVERYTHING! Whatever I can do! It's crunch time x1000!

The Quick Summary:

I have a Carrd now! There, you can find links to all my socials, Patreon, Ko-fi, GoFundMe, the form for requesting Commissions or Doodles-For-Donations and Monthly Patreon Doodles, and more! Check it out: https://juni-p.carrd.co/

My Patreon has been updated and makes sense finally! Monthly Doodles can be requested from the form at the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for each monthly Patreon contribution!

You can request Doodles-For-Donations on that same form if you're donated anywhere! Ko-fi, Patreon, wherever! Check out the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for info and a link to the form!

Commissions are open for requests right now! I'll start taking new ones very soon, so get your requests in! Look for the form link on the bottom of my Carrd's Commissions page!

My GoFundMe is still available, and has been updated with info about the move and such. You can read that for more info about it all and donate if you're feeling generous <3 (Also, this still counts for Doodles-for-Donations, too, if you want!)

Soon I'll have a store! With stickers and stuff! Maybe even shirts! I'll send out notifications when there's merch and stuff up, and the links will be up on my Carrd too!

Lots more specifics below, so keep reading! And thank you in advance for any help!

MILESTONES:

I have an income tracker on the Carrd, under News. When I hit a milestone, I'll be doing something special! ...though I haven't figured out what the special thing is just yet! Pls let me know if you have ideas. I wanna make it nice b/c TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYthankyou~

PATREON INCENTIVES!

All Patreon backers now get a Doodle per month! Details and request form are on the Carrd! It's the same form as Commissions, so just make sure you pick the "Patreon" option, okay? I'm still thinking of what other incentives I can put on there. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I really appreciate y'all so much~

KOFI and Donation Doodles!

Like the Patreon doodles, but for one-time donations and things like that I'll be doing these whenever I'm on stream, too, so come say hi! Same request form! It's all on the Carrd!

Commission Requests are open!

I'll be taking new ones soon, once I get more of my backlog done, so if you want a commission, get your requests in! Pricing and details all on the Carrd! I'm working hard <3 <3

Also I'm doing Animations now, too! And YCH stuff soon! I'm excited about it!!! :D :D :D Pic related to both <3 (Thank you X!!!)

GoFundMe

My GoFundMe's been updated to explain my situation some, and to help give me some relief from the amount of work I now have to do in such a short time. Shares, reblogs, etc, are just as appreciated as the donations. Thank you <3

I'm also opening a RedBubble with stickers and prints and stuff!

I don't know what to put there yet, but I already have the storefront and such. More to come soon, of course <3 It's empty at the time of posting, but there'll be stuff there soon!

Finishing commissions comes first, of course~

If you read all of that, TY

I am going through the climax of this whole ordeal I've been in for the past few years and/or most of my life Honestly, the uncertainty hitting such a high is scary, but I'm gonna do my best ( TuT)9 My DMs on Discord are always open if you have any thoughts or questions, okay?

this is actually extremely effective, like you’d honestly be surprised at how effective this is

emotional regulation is a problem for trauma survivors, but a little bit of praise can go a long way

even if it seems like I didn’t respond favorably to it, those words stick with me

and maybe one day with enough of those words, i can crowd out all of the words I use for myself ;u;

It’s already happening, in fact. Never underestimate the power of random kindness to people. You might be saving a life

Depression is such an effective tranquilizer that it creates a great opportunity for plot twists in your real life. I have a pretty consistent opinion of myself which is "low" and "never ending guilt and shame for reasons I don't understand."

Recently received feedback from two different editing clients that started with "Please pass along to Jacquelynn that she is phenomenal at her job" and "I was blown away by the evaluation I received."

You always hear about how depression (and anxiety) lies to you and distorts reality, but there is logically knowing that and then there is like, physical proof of it and you are suddenly Neo in the Matrix jumping out of the fucked up little tube machine.
