Looks like I'm Moving to Ohio!
2 weeks ago
General
Commissions are OPEN!
Never thought I'd say this but... Me and 
TrevorWinters are (eventually) moving to Ohio! I was hesitant at first, but visiting our friends up there helped ease some worries. We're hoping to be up there around this time next year.
So the big question: Why on earth do you want to move? Many reasons... let's be real: the Deep South SUCKS. I've lived in a southern state all my life and I've never truly been happy with it. The backwards politics, hot weather 24/7, neglected infrastructure, close minded folks, and most of all: isolation.
As a autistic/neurodivergent person, I've always felt out of place in the normie irl space, especial in this region. Even within local furry groups I have always felt a lil left out. I used to attend local fur meets and cons all the time but rarely felt like I was WITHIN the circle, you know what I mean? That's why I slowly backed away from events. The only time people would hit me up was for art commission related stuff. Anyway, I'm going on a tangent here: my point is that I'm lonely here and this recent trip made me realize it was not me that was the problem... I was simply in the wrong setting.
All the wonderful people we met in Ohio were GENUINELY nice (not that performative fakey "polite" nonsense they do in the South). Both friends and strangers have been very welcoming and supportive. We even had some friends offer to help us move! Like one of them said they'd come down here to help up load up! For reference we're over 12 hours away by car. Literally NONE of my current irl friends have ever done that for me. Also, another friend said we can even be roommates once they get a bigger place. I'm genuinely blown away by the generosity. Like huh? People ACTUALLY care about me?? And enjoy my company???
Because of this golden opportunity, we're trying our best to save up. Work has gotten a little slow so I plan to open commissions again very soon (after my birthday near the end of February) to kick start our moving fund. More details on that coming soon!
In the meantime, if you'd like, you can send whatever you'd like to contribute to our move via Shinies or directly to my PayPal.
