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:

Let's go!

Boosting!! I have no actual food and my animals need to eat!

[scriptfree]

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!!

Today our abusive mother tried to burn the house down to try to get her shitty narcissistic attention fix and now we are terrified for our lives!

I know everyone just tunes us out and accuses us of ""scamming". But we need emergency funds to survive the year and try to raise up enough to MOVE OUT. Please donate so my partner can escape this horrifying situation!!!!!!!!

This is TERRIFYING. HER ABUSE IS JUST GETTING WORSE AND WORSE PLEASE HELP US. We are both absolutely horrified!

It's bad enough that we can't afford medication or groceries!!

I cannot afford my groceries, bills, medication, or surgery: -> Ko-Fi | PayPal |  Flight Rising Adoptables

Commissions OPEN

OK, so I am jobless and have been utterly fucked over by the benefits system, and now only have £153 to live on for the rest of the month, to cover EVERYTHING - rent, food, fuel so I can get to interviews, medication... all of it.

So I'm opening up commissions at a reduced rate! PReviously for a short story up to 5k words, it would be £15 for the first £500 and then £2 for every 100 after that, but I'm now just charging £1 for every 100 words after the initial 500.

You can see my commission list here, and if you'd like an example of the style of writing, here's something I did the last time I opened commissions up:

Drop me a message or just commission me through Ko-Fi, it's all good to me, and while I hate asking for money without something in return, if you've ever read something I've put out and enjoyed it (like the Old Gods Vs Aliens, hmm?) maybe consider just dropping me a couple of quid in my Ko-Fi? Everything helps rn.

Thank you!
