Last July, I had my first colonoscopy at the age of 26. I was suffering from dysregularity, frequent diarrhea, and cramping. At the time, the diagnosis was post-infection irritable bowel syndrome caused by some form of infectious colitis.

Unfortunately, over the course of the following year, my symptoms gradually intensified and eventually became largely unresponsive to lifestyle-change-based treatment. It's gotten to the point that, for the past two months, I've been having to rely on max dose immodium to maintaining a semblance of normality in the bathroom.

Thinking that perhaps he had misdiagnosed ulcerative colitis, my gastroenterologist prescribed a course of budesonide. Sadly, it was completely ineffectual. As such, I was scheduled for yet another colonoscopy.

A few days ago, on June 20th, less than a year after my first one, I had the second colonoscopy of my life. Many more biopsies were taken this time. I haven't yet gotten the results. Frankly, I'm terrified of what they might find.

To add insult to injury, my insurance has a massive deductible, so I'm on the hook financially for pretty much the entire procedure.

I don't yet know what the total cost will be. Last time, it was about five thousand dollars. With all the extra biopsies this time, it might be a bit more, but I won't know what the pathology bill is for a while.

I've been running a fundraising campaign on other sites since June 11th and have managed to raise a decent amount of money.

Unfortunately, donations seem to have stalled at $2,987.18, a little over $2,000 short of our $5,000 goal.

Thus, I have come to beseech thee, tumblr. I need thy aid. Please help me however you can. For those of you who can afford to spare some money, direct contributions are greatly and sincerely appreciated. If you aren't able to donate, then I ask that you please share this post with as many friends, associates, and acquaintances as you can.

If you'd like to donate, you can use either paypal or cashapp:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Let's go!

Hi. This is a more serious post than my usual stuff, sorry about that, but it is important. I need help. My Dad and I are genuinely running out of money and I'm not old enough to get hired anywhere. He currently doesn't have a job and we're out of unemployment. On top of that, my Grandma, who we live with, is making him pay weekly rent on top of all the other bills he has to pay. We have no income as of right now. I'm opening emergency commissions- I'll draw basically anything (no nsfw). I can do traditional or digital, sketches, lineart, finished-- you name it. I'll do my best to get whatever you want drawn and ready for you. I'm currently working out prices, but for now, here are some examples of recent traditional work.

If you're interested, you can reach me on discord as 283otters. Responses and work may be delayed since I'm currently in school. Even if you don't want to buy anything, reblogs are super appreciated. I'll post prices as soon as I can.

Just some WIP test pages of a Duchesse Noir comic I've been playing around with. I feel like I'll have some pages ready soon and wanted to post some WIPs beforehand. I removed some text beforehand just to avoid some mild spoilers but if you've seen any of my other art before, you probably have an idea what's going on.

BTW these are two pages from different points in the story. Different time, day, location and everything. They do not lead directly to the other.

Hope you guys can give me feedback and tips since it's my first time making comics <33!!
