Posted 7 months agoWren / Neer
Posted a year agoI talked to him on Sunday. He was achy, but fine. He was feeling optimistic having had the biopsy, and expecting the results.
We were going to get art together. He suggested something lewd (sextoy transformation on the shiny vee, lol). It would be down the road, when both of our finances were in better shape. I went to put him on my list of people to get art with, but he was already there, 4th from the top.
I was suffering badly from my Fibromyalgia, and he gave me the space to moan about it. He was not well himself, but he knew how crippling Fibro can be, with his former partner suffering from it also.
He was patient, kind and generous, with everything he had. He was a good friend, and I loved him. Not in any kind of romantic way, but as a Pansexual being I find it easy to love people - it hits hard and fast, and it leaves an imprint in my soul. I hope he knew how much he meant to me in the little time we had getting to know each other.
That irrepressible nature, changing forms to please others. Cheeky, playful, joyful.
When I heard the news, I had just come home from an evening hockey match. I had just changed and I was getting ready for bed. And then the news came, via Discord, pointing to the journal on Fender's profile. My dear friend had been taken from us, suddenly and without warning, and it broke my heart. He was starting to feel better... and I was away for a few hours, and I came back... and he was gone... and there's nothing I could do, even if was there. I cried for the next two and a half hours, and most of the next day. And I struggled doing the things I needed to do while out in public.
I really hope he knew how much he was loved. Not just by me, by everyone. This site has been instrumental for helping people discover themselves, and many owe a huge debt of gratitude. It's too difficult to sum how much he means...
But to me, he was my dear friend, and I mourn him. And I would give anything for him to be back.
Love you Wren. You'll always be close by 💙

Happy Thanksgiving!
Posted 2 years agoLiving the UK, today is not a public holiday, but it is still a good idea to think about what one is grateful.
I'm grateful for all the positive comments and favs on pieces I post!
I cross-post my things to e6, and the love for these pieces makes me so happy 😊
I try to commission things that will appeal to others as well as making me and my friends feel good, so it's incredibly validating that you would give me your attention!
I have a number of things in the works, so even though I lost my job last week, I will still have some good quality pieces coming up soon :3c
I'm grateful for my friends in this community.
I have so many friends from so many individual communities, and I've felt so welcome since coming back to the community in 2020.
I really wish that there was no ocean in the way, because I would love to meet so many people from US and Canada in person.
You all mean a lot to me and I can't wait until that moment I do get to meet face to face 💙
I'm grateful for my closest friends, who have had my back through everything.
Balth, Maven, Freya - you are all amazing and mean the world to me.
There's nothing that could ever stop me wanting to be closer to you.
You keep me going when the going gets tough, and I adore you all 💙
Despite all the complications and hardship this year, I've felt stronger coming through them.
I'm on the way to be the best person I can be, and I'm not going to stop pursuing that ideal 💪
We go again!
I hope you all have a restful holiday, and enjoy this day with people who are important for you 💙

Policy Change 2: Electric Boogaloo
Posted 2 years agoAs I said in the previous journal, I can understand the reasoning for closing the loophole that existed, I understand why the admins now think it's the time for further clarification around cub works.
What I don't understand is how FA decided to shoot itself in the foot for saying vore including minors is AOK, while also targeting particular artists whose art doesn't really have anything objectionable about them and telling them to delete the art or be deleted.
Jesus Christ. This admin group needs someone to give them a good shake and tell them to think about what they're doing before going ahead and doing a half-arsed job that nobody likes.
Get a comprehensive rule in place, leave no room for individual admin/mod's taste when reviewing art pieces, and stop handing out removal notices based on biased reviews of works which have nothing to do with the cub/loli shit.
There is no trust that these rules will be upheld properly - if anything, the mismanagement has people about to jump ship. I couldn't believe that this site was more likely to go down before Elno's Twitter, but after the last week, all bets are off.

Today's Policy Change
Posted 2 years agoI am very much ambivalent towards the policy changes announced today.
I can understand why closing the loophole on "1000-year-old loli" was a move to cover FA against charges of abiding underage fetishization.
However, I think this new move has not been thought out enough.
If the art is definitely signalling and fetishizing the underage part, that's fair game for deletion - I don't think many people would have issue with that.
However, applying these changes to pieces containing Pokemon, Digimon, &c, unless it's beyond a shadow of a doubt of ill intent, then it's all down to how the admins are feeling when trying to objectively review a subjective piece of art.
I think that the spirit of the policy is headed in the right place, but I feel that the underlying trust in admin staff to show discretion, understanding and leniency is lacking - and therefore a number of artists are extremely worried, because there is no knowing whether their art passes some unknown arbitrary threshold. I worry for artists that make a fair part of their living through here, now considering whether they will need to move if they are suddenly told they're in violation despite being innocent.
Right spirit, but the trust isn't there u_u

New Year came by quickly...
Posted 2 years agoI haven't updated my journal since last New Year, so let's see what's new to report.
2022 sucked ass. Like it was a fucking terrible year all told. It started well enough, but life changed a lot after Russia's illegal invasion and war against Ukraine.
A lot of work colleagues felt displaced, having to flee their cities and even their country, with the regularity and mundanity of work being a constant compared with the unpredictabiliity of Putin's insanity.
Speaking of work, I have gone full circle, from dreading work in the mornings to outright hating it, especially as they geared up to fire me over productivity (read: fired for being disabled and unable to cope with the pressures of a forced 9-5, 40 hour week). I was placed on an "Improvement Plan" to "help me", but I saw it as a front for the HR team to find grounds for dismissal. I recognised I was depressed because I was not able to cope with both work and my health battering me. I wasn't suicidal or thinking of self-harm, just incredibly burnt out and unable to do any of the things I wanted to do. After completing my 10 weeks of therapy and completing a harrowing soul-destroying follow-up to the failed Improvement Plan, my workplace eventually worked out a workable plan for me to adhere to. This plan was much better for me, including reduced hours, a 4-day week, a later start-time and generally more flexibility than was afforded. This time I passed the Improvement Plan and there's nothing further for HR to do. I'm actually in a more stable place now and I'm beginning to enjoy what I do again... but we'll see how long that lasts.
My health has gotten worse as the year went on, and I've been taking more and different medications to help deal with the pain. I've really boosted my intake of CBD Oil too, and that has definitely been helping - even better that I've found reliable and less expensive choices to what I was getting before.
I'm still streaming, but really struggling with it. There's been many occasions when Twitch has pointed out to me in post-stream recaps that my viewer count was < 1 viewer on average for the stream. It's soul-destroying, especially as I support so many others and never seem to get any of the support back my way. I want to do a lot more, but work and health always screw me when it comes to what I want to do.
My biggest desires for 2023 are to travel (especially after the pandemic locked us away for so long), and I am really desparate to see my friends in USA/Canada. There are so many amazing people that I want to meet! If I get to go to a convention, it would be a dream - but I'd have to make sure that I look into visas and into how to transport my medication legally.
I hope that your New Year is peaceful and that 2023 is a hell of a lot better than the shit we've had to deal with in the last 3 years.

Happy New Year!
Posted 3 years agoHope everyone has had a great holiday break and is enjoying the new year so far!
For me, holidays were difficult. I caught Covid over the Christmas period. No clue where from, but presumably from my brother's girlfriend, who tested negative before visiting but positive the next day.
Fortunately, I've had two consecutive negative tests in a row, so now I am no longer contagious and can mingle with society again!
It's been a rough period, especially dealing with malaise and fatigue that come with it. Even now, my throat still isn't completely perfect, but the exhaustion is very high.
Work not helping either. The pay is good and the co-workers are friendly, but I am exhausted and burnt out. I don't enjoy what I work on, and I dread turning the laptop on in the morning.
Something has to give eventually, but presumably it will be my health...
Ah well, there are good things to life too. Capture card arrived and has been installed in the computer, so I get to stream some Switch games in the future potentially! Getting to reorganise my room as well - finally acting on plans I've had for a few years now.
Again, I hope you've all had a great holiday, and may 2022 be much better than recent years 🍷🍸

Level Up!
Posted 4 years agoIt's that time of year again - level up day! I've reached Level 32 today.
It's been an amazing year, not only for how much stuff can go wrong, but also for finding so many people who are very dear to me 💙
If you had told me January last year, re-entering the fandom, that things would go as well as they have done, I would not believe you.
I was so scared and vulnerable, opening up this very private side of myself to complete strangers.
What if I was laughed at? Rejected? Disowned? What if people wouldn't accept me?
I'm so grateful that I've found people who made me feel alive and comfortable for the first time in such a long time.
No need to hide, no reason to be scared any more.
Pushing me to discover things about myself that I didn't know before.
Exploring Ether, not only as my fursona, but as an extension of myself.
A dear friend commented recently that not only have I made Ether a really cool genderfluid character, but in every drawing SFW or NSFW, they are always happy.
If I can find such happiness irl, I would be so incredibly lucky.
I feel like I'm lucky enough as it is, because of the generosity, friendship and kindness I'm shown every day.
Thank you for an amazing year, I'm very grateful to have you all in my life 💙

UPDATE: My Health (TW// sickness, surgery)
Posted 4 years agoTW// sickness, surgery
I had my gall bladder removed yesterday. It was relatively straightforward and I was able to come home the same day. I will be resting at home for a few days before attempting anything else. The biggest pain I have is actually in my right shoulder; I think it's being caused by a trapped nerve. The good news is that most of the pain is under control and I can focus on getting better now ^^
I haven't talked about my health here in great detail, but I'll give it a shot and try to get my thoughts down into one journal...
So two weeks ago, I was taken to Accidents & Emergency because I had pain in my gut. I've had pains in this area since December last year, and I knew that the pain was being caused by my gall bladder.
(The gall bladder is a tiny organ on the right of the body just below the liver, and it stores excess bile produced by the liver so that bile is readily available when digestion starts.)
I found out earlier this year I have gallstones, but although they were big there was no immediate cause for concern. However, the doctor at A&E disgnosed that my gall bladder had gone into spasm, and the pain was because it was out of control.
I was prescribed Diclofenac as an anti-spasmodic to help calm down the gall bladder. Unfortunately, two days later, I was back at the hospital as the pains were becoming more severe.
I spent all night waiting to see a doctor, and the next morning I was shown upstairs to a ward. Not to a bed mind you, just to a waiting room on a ward...
I was at the emergency surgery ward for another 6 hours until I was taken for an ultrasound. The resulting scan showed that I had one large gallstone that had been rubbing against the organ's wall and causing inflammation.
I was given two antibiotics to stop the irritation and placed on a "hot list" for gall bladder surgery. I was discharged after a total of 20 hours in hospital.
It's been about two weeks since the start of this latest health episode, as it's still ongoing. I have good days, but I also have a ton of bad days with pain management.
I'm trying to stay positive, but it's really difficult... I feel so demotivated, I don't want to work, I don't want to stream, I just want to try to relax and I don't have any time for that.
I've also been in a weird sleepy, cuddly, horny mood for at least a week and nothing seems to be solving it lol. I honestly feel like I'm being a burden to friends at the moment...
My body has been so misbehaved and I am just waiting for surgery and hoping that it happens as soon as possible. I hate being this way 😢

Commissioned some new refsheets - I'm hoping that I'll be able to share them soon, and then pass them on to others for more artwork!
My new workplace has been very supportive, and has been helping me finally sort out my finances, so I've got room for a lot more artwork commissions now =D
Long list of people I need to get artwork with too - want to fill this year with love for my friends 💙💙
Take care and be kind to both others and yourself 💙

I levelled up :O
Posted 5 years agoIt was my birthday today :3 I'm now Level 31!
I've had a good day today, and I've been gifted some beautiful art from my best friends. I'm so lucky to have them ;o; 💙
I will upload them here when I get permission to do. In the mean time, please feel free to hit me up on Twitter or Telegram. Love love 💙💙
UPDATE: 03-Oct-20
I've just realised that a lot of images I've uploaded are the wrong size because they were resized - I've updated the source images, so now they can all be viewed in much higher detail!

Black Lives Matter
Posted 5 years agoStay safe if you are out protesting. You are important and you are loved. It's about time that you are heard and others shut the fuck up and listen.
Fuck the racists. Black lives matter.

May Update
Posted 5 years agoI've finally written a bio for my profile page! Now my page isn't so naked... 😳
I've had a lot of art drawn for me by my bestie balthykins, and I've also commissioned a couple of other piece as well. One is already finished and up in my gallery! Love how cute it is 💙
My goal here is to get more people watching my profile, because I only have one at the moment... o3o Where all my cuties at?!
Also I will try and get some of my friends to create profiles, because they're only posting on Twitter and Discord... I want to perv on them here as well! 😛
Hope everyone is staying safe still. Love you all 💙💙

First proper journal :3
Posted 5 years agoIt's been a few months since Ether came to life. The overall reception has been warm and supportive, which is all I could really have asked for <3
Without a character, I felt so adrift. There was a part of me that was missing, a giant void that needed to be filled. Although I was good at hiding it, I was so frustrated and miserable.
I still have those feelings now and again, especially as I cannot draw my own art - however, the feelings are less now that I can look at my big dumb blue boy Ether and say "that's me, that's who I am".
I've found some new friends who make me feel welcome and comfortable. I've also been able to reach out to some who I followed and admired for some time.
I've been following
the_secret_cave for ages before I even created this account, definitely a huge on influence on becoming a dragon.
I also discovered
sushifur and 
serulean on Twitter, and they definitely made me feel good about my choice of species!
Klonoap is lovely, and makes me feel so comfortable <3
Koarl is a cutie and reminds me of me when I was first exploring what this was all about.
And then there's balthykins. Balthy, my queen. I love this one so much ;o; She was able to take my garbled and incoherent thoughts and from them make something truly unique and special.
She took my brokenness and gave me a voice, a being again. I don't think I will ever be able to thank her enough.
My Twitter account is still currently protected, but I'm debating making the account public. I love the privacy that it affords, but I hate that when I reply to someone, they will only be able to see my response if they follow me already.

Love you guys, make sure you stay safe during the pandemic <3
