So much has changed..
a year ago
General
Hey Everyone~
TLDR; a long update post. Ups and Downs n stuff.
So I kind of just let FA fade into obscurity in my mind because I just simply stopped using it. Since coming back I've slowly been checking features, what old artist have been up to and see some prospering, and some have stopped posting and some are simply gone.
Also the amount of bad that has happened in a short timespan. From the unfortunate loss of Dragoneer to the hijacking and drama over rule and staff changes. I hope that things settle back down as much as it can and the site and community here can continue to grow and thrive.
I also noticed how much I have changed as a person. I see my previous journals and I simply cringe at some of them. (Though I still agree with the Rule 34 one. Adult images of kids show characters should not exist). What I said is said and I can't take it back, but I will say I know where those statements came from. Pent up frustrations with life making me explode in the only way I knew how. So at least keep that in mind if you choose to look at those past posts. Even if you find them quite tame I don't like that I even posted them.
I have been without a job since the end of August with a foot injury severely limiting my options in job searches. Life is hard right now, and with the current political climate that has been taking shape in my country I worry for myself and those I care about in the LBGTQ+ community. Also for furries in general.
In the positives.
Clover Renfew Has been the reason why I have even been paying attention to FA lately. She is my world and I don't know what I would do without her. I had been cheated out of money in the past with artists just not doing the work and disappearing, or promising one quality of work and delivering something far less. With Clover's guidance I have been able to start finding some decent artists who don't just try and take money and run...and deliver a beautiful product!
Home has been improving slowly but surely. Politically and Socially I can't start presenting in my real gender still, but the house has been getting cleaned up slowly. Garage can actually be entered, Livingroom can actually be used to sit and watch tv. Kitchen is looking better too.
Streaming! I started going live on Twitch when I was first told it would be at least a month before I could return to work back in mid August. Since then I've reached affiliate with the help of friends and friendly streamers who gave shout-outs. I hope to continue to grow and have fun with anyone who chooses to hop by and chat!. My twitch is linked on my profile page.
New Table? So spent most of this last week building an Ikea dining table. One that is actually wood and not pressboard. It was a lot more complicated than I thought it would be but it's a nice strong sturdy table.
With that, things are updated. I might do a new re-introduction journal later. It's been 11 years since I did an introduction Journal here. I hope you all have a great day/year!
