It's looking like we're gonna be putting our dog down soon. I could write an entire essay about my emotions right now and tell you a hundred stories about her but my heart and my soul are too tired and so I've had almost no motivation or willpower to do much of anything productive.

I have no idea how much everything is going to cost altogether but I know it's gonna add financial pain to everything else. I'm trying to get through my current commission queue beforehand but if clients are willing to wait for me to get through this then I'm still willing to take commissions and work on them when I'm able.

Donations of course are always appreciated; I have a kofi where you can order a commission from me or just leave a tip.

I'm constantly fluctuating between feeling numb and being overwhelmed with heartache. My partner and I are spending as much time with her as we can while we still have it.

The consultation with the vet is this Wednesday where they'll take a look at the old lady and we'll go over our options, but the rate at which she is declining is telling enough. I would guess we have about a week left with her depending on scheduling and what not. We'll find out and I'll update you all here when I know more.

This is Dot, by the way. She's a rescue and has been a beloved member of our small household for nine years. They estimated she was 4-6 when we first adopted her, which puts her at 13-15 years old now. When we first got her, she was skin and bones, so Dorothy Bones is her full name. Dorothy was my great grandmother's name.

Anyway thanks in advance and thank you to my friends and clients who have been so supportive and understanding, I'm insanely blessed to be able to do what I love and share it with everyone as of late. Spare a thought for Dot in her last days.

Hey so uh, I've got viewing/funeral stuff to deal with tomorrow and on Saturday, so uh...if I'm a little extra snippy please gimme a lil grace, yeah? Having a hell of a week. Gram's funeral and Little Shop of Horrors being the same weekend was definitely not how I envisioned things going, but hey, people don't die on a schedule, friends.

An unfinished Linked Universe / Zelda 1&2 animatic.

I forgot I'd made this!!! I'd gotten to a point where I realized I wanted to understand Hyrule's games better before continuing, so I stopped. Not sure if I'll return to it but I think what's here is pretty cool and worth sharing!

Linked Universe is from @linkeduniverse. The song is Run Boy Run by Woodkid.

The song works so well for Rulie aAAAA!!! The imagery around Hyrule is so fun to play with, too! Red, and blood, and hands, and eyes, and fire, and gold, and the triforce- it's all so good!

(made this in December 2021 lol)

thinking of the boys and honestly?? just imagine since they traversed time and space for mc they have to be a little unhinged right? imagine the lifetimes that passed them by where they may have missed mc, weren’t able to find her or get to her in time before she dies in that timeline. the constant agony of searching forever for someone who is fleeting just like the sands of time. growing older and decaying only to be reborn again in a constant cycle. and never in the same place or at the same time. constantly having to travel the world to try and find her again. and the few lucky times mc is near enough for them to establish themselves in her life before they lose her again. but the time they get to spend with her is never enough and is so fleeting before they’re back to wandering the world looking for her soul again

trying to bribe myself into doing something i have to do or else face horrific consequence and it not working is like. okay. what do you want me to do then??? bro you feel like you're dying now, just wait another week and see how we're doing.

[madamescarlette]

don't you love when you're like, okay now I'm going to leave this sorrow in the old year so I don't turn into a crotchety bitter person over it, and then you walk on feeling all refreshed and bright no longer carrying it on your shoulders, but then the sorrow wanders after you like a child who was lost in the supermarket weeping its eyes out and it says to you where did you GO I was lost! I was lost and I missed you!!! and you can only sigh and take it by its hand and say to it very well. here's your seat. I'm sorry I left you behind, I promise it was with the best of intentions, but I want to do my best by you, so let's sit together and try to figure out what you're saying to me.
