I'm still alive, been away for a bit
Posted 4 years agoI've been dealing with quite a shitshow of events so I will be giving a much needed update soon.
One more update, in other news.
Posted 4 years agoIn better news, definitely feeling a surge in creativity, even as the world crumbles around me.
I'd like to think this year will be...productive, at the very least. This year could be anything and if its going to turn out miserable I'll at least do what I can for my personal work.
The main reason for this post is that I have never liked leaving things on a sour note so here's something good for a change:I'm NOT giving up anytime soon.
It would be easy, so easy for me to just throw in the towel and be done with this material existence, there are days I truly want to see it end.
But there are even more days where I want to be around long enough to see what happens cause just 'maybe' there's still a part for me to play in this big drama that is planet Earth.
I'm tired, no fatigued is a more appropriate word...I'm struggling to find any sort of energy on a daily basis and as a result, my work (personal and creative) have suffered at times.
However, each bit of suffering is a motivation to do better and improve, to evolve beyond the status quo of what is expected and leave room for surprises.
I'm hoping to continue to inspire and surprise with my workings this year in ways I failed to do for the past 4 (in which time I did very little music, only around 3 songs for that matter).
So will 2021 be everyone's 'year' finally? I wouldn't count on it but I don't mean that in a bad way. I simply mean that if you expect something, consistently, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. I'm expecting nothing in particular whatsoever so that whatever ends up happening this year will remain a surprise.
And yeah, sure, 2020 sucked but I've had worse years than 2020. If you think 2020 was the 'worst year ever' just cause of a global pandemic then I'm sorry to inform you but covid won't be the last global pandemic you're likely to see in your lifetime. But enough on that, there's worst shit to stress over out there, don't let yourself become so accustomed to pain and worry that you forget to have fun in the process. If you don't know what to do then by all means just do something, anything, different from the routine, then you will find meaningful connections and motivations that will pull you out of a bad 'loop'.
Anyway, enough on all that for now, more to come in time. Please see my previous journals for the full context of what i'm going through right now, I don't feel like bringing it up again. Take care all

*Some* good news for now...
Posted 4 years agoAfter a major health scare earlier and visit to the ER/ICU my best friends father is in stable condition from what I've heard recently which is a massive relief. Basically I used go date someone, became close to their family, remained good friends post breakup and have been trying to make sure these people are all okay during this time.
This scenario has had me scared shitless for the safety of my friend and his father; if anything fatal happens my friend will lose his mind. I have to be prepared for anything, the best or worst and act accordingly.
But recent update says hes stable, his kidneys are functioning again, hes alive and I'm hoping with everything in me he will be alright and continue to live a long while.
After I figure out a way to deal with rent and bills I feel like I owe them a visit. They have done more for me than my blood relatives have and they dont deserve any hardship right now. I may need help holding my head high and staying confident in the fines ahead so to my dearest friends reading this please help me stay afloat right now...and in the days to come.
For more perspective on what I'm dealing with my previous post discloses the pains I'm dealing with and can be read here:

May we all stay strong, physically and mentally, with each passing day.

Doing a vocal cover for one of my favorite songs, soon.
Posted 4 years agoAny fans of metal out there? Especially a band named Dark Tranquility?
I did a practice session yesterday, my first attempt at the song entitled 'Iridium'. I have to say I'm so impressed with my first attempt, I'm going to continue practicing this one..
The clean vocals are a bit more difficult, ironically, as I'm not used to 'singing' so much as I'm used to 'screaming' as far as metal music goes but all of it is part of the process.
Here's the song, full version: https://youtu.be/MeILznBMO8I
and here's the music video which I highly recommend: https://youtu.be/vzVDt1xYFsM
Lyrics
Let the horizon lead
On through the ether of the night
Dragged across the burning heavens
Flying homeward like a burdened soul
Shattered into a million brighter stars
We fragile, naked, rare
Scattered across forever
Out from creations core
An end beyond compare
Iridium
Now is the time to leave
We lie awake, we stand afire
At the edge of the world
Above, mirror of light
Below, the mantle of the stars
And strangely they fall
Shattered into a million brighter stars
We fragile, naked, rare
Scattered across forever
Out from creations core
An end beyond compare
Iridium
Shattered into a million brighter stars
We fragile, naked, rare
Scattered across forever
Out from creations core
An end beyond compare
An end beyond compare

Update Summary + NEED TO SELL THESE ADOPTS *TODAY*
Posted 4 years agoTO SEE WHAT'S FOR SALE Go here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9715421/
Yeah so if you don't feel like reading my massive fuckwalls of journal text (and I don't blame you) let me simplify my past few journals in a few sentences:
1. Life has been rough for me for a few years, I'm back, I'm alive, I'm moving in a direction for the better despite some struggles.
2. I'm starting over, creatively, in furry, everything. I have some characters I'm willing to part with to further complete this process.
3. I have rent and bills to deal with this coming month, buy an adopt, help me get this shit settled.
4. I don't trust the government to get off their ass and actually give a damn about the american people and if they surprise me, great but until they do I need a boost.
Feel like helping? Donation link is my paypal: paypal.me/abraxis11
(it should pop up with this mantis icon - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19388548/) abraxis with an 'i' NOT an 'a'
Now here's what's at the center of everything wearing me down right now:
My relationship + my innate need to kill my past and secure my future.
Since I don't feel like making this another journal flooded with a massive wall of text I'll keep this to the point....I'm tired of being attached to my past.
My relationship is a major part of my life right now and while yes I do have a tendency to try and give a lot of love to everyone dear to me, especially longtime friends, there are days that I have to keep the home in one piece and I cannot do that if I'm focusing on everything else except my life with my partner.
I need time and means to truly keep things stable and for too long I've bled myself dry for a lot of people over the past decade and due to my own idiocy (mostly in RL situations) I've failed to keep myself stable and i'm now suffering as a result. The truth is, even in my relationship, I feel like I've once again bled myself dry in many areas; its to the point to where I've actually needed help from others *just* to have any sense of consistency in our ability to stay ahead. This level of unpredictable instability is unacceptable as I can't be the only one pulling the weight of things which is a key reason I'm also leaving behind a lot of bad habits and attachments. It's not merely for me or my partner I have to do this but for those others who are also strained from dealing with our issues we've had, no one wants to help someone else forever and I can't stand that thought either, it sickens me. But due to this craptastic year tha has been 2020, the pandemic, everything, this year has been very non-existent for many of us....it doesn't even feel like its been a year if I'm being honest, this year didnt happen.
But even so...the cluttered consciousness continuously attempts to boil us down into a form easier to consume...we must resist our own need to suffer...
Moving forward, I've grown tired of many attachments, problematic habits and romantic/personal connections straining me. I need to continue to grow as a person and I can't do that with past attachments. This is one reason I've actually sold off some characters over the past year, it wasn't merely to have some extra cash but to actually 'let go' of those chapters of my life and see them become recreated into something new which I feel is a beautiful thing. A part of me will always be in those characters, yes, for that i'm grateful but when it becomes a shadow of your current self and people become more attached to what no longer exists vs. what is actually tangible and PRESENT then it becomes more of a burden and less of a creative expression.
In all things, I will still learn. Failure and pain inspire me to transform and moving into 2021 you'll see the illusion fade and the unknown alien god will remain...
(more excerpts from an upcoming writing.)
Musiiiiiiic
Posted 4 years agoA new track entitled 'Prophecy of the Seeress' will be posted soon.
I've been working on a couple of projects based loosely on mythology from different regions and the most recent will relate to Norse myths and runes. It is my hope that I can dish out a little something extra in the next few days...

The full scale of my situation, ending 2020 and moving on
Posted 4 years agoSo I mentioned there were some things on my mind and I'm going to try and disclose these issues swiftly and effectively...
As I type these words, each moment, this very instant, I'm tired and trying desperately to wade through the firm grip of sleep.
I don't rest like I should, I'm fatigued more often than not, and stress has done a number on me for the past few years.
Regardless, I have a duty to try to uphold as both a creator and a lover and as someone who has failed many times as well...
Within the confines of failure, we find our greatest potential and actual wants/needs. The more are forced into what we don't prefer the more we can figure out what we want in life.
I realize its mostly easier said than done, this year has been utter hell for many of us and its not even the drama and world disasters that have us down...it's our loss of 'time' that has us all strained. Our sense of time has been shattered and not in the most helpful form; this year feels almost non-existent as we have been trapped in a haze of societal bullshit all year long.
For myself and my partner, these issues mainly relate to a strain on time and finances and I've poured everything I can into progressing forward but as of this week I've reached what feels like my possible 'end' in many ways. This is *not* to say I'm giving up nor do I desire to but rather I'm at a point where I feel my hand has been forced.
There are many difficult and complex possibilities right now as I strain to sort out issues with late bills and rent being due for next month.
Its bad enough the complex in which I live will no longer allow payment plans starting in 2021 which means all rent is due in full on the 1st. I have almost nothing for the first as we speak. This is a difficult topic to address as I always end up feeling like I should be doing better and in time, I hope to do just that but I've done my best at the very least, at my current level....that is what is most difficult for me to accept.
I feel like my best could or should be better but I've realized over this past stressful year each of us has been our own 'judgement day' or 'apocalypse' for ourselves. As living beings, creatures of Earth, we have a responsibiliy to our senses, environment, emotions....energy? So where do we go from here?
I cannot say where one should go moving onward into 2021 but I will say that the potential for growth and actual change is there on a societal level.
Don't go waiting on some politican or friend or family to give you the sign to change your direction...if you feel and know something is 'right' it will be so.
On the flipside if you end something on a sour note then that note carries on the wind and hums a sad drawn out song for as long as your ears are open.
I'm still learning, still trying to do better, still attempting to keep a cohesive living space and unfortunately I need some major help right now....financially and emotionally.
I don't want to make this about me, this is about my living space and keeping a roof over my boyfriend's head. Between rent and a couple of other things that need sorting out I have around 800$ I need to come up with in the coming weeks.
If anyone is willing to assist us, please send *any* amount of assistance to this paypal: eonicpulse[at]gmail.com
Also in a previous journal I do have some characters for sale https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9715421/
In regards to the other necessary updates and my change of lifestyle that I loosely reference in prior journals, I think it boils down to something simple: I've had time to transform. And soon I'll transform again as I do my best to rework my life to be even better in the coming year.
I'm down on my luck for now but I truly have been doing what I can to adjust, adapt, and continue forward in all things. I have a home, a lover, aspirations, and new creations, the unfortunate truth we each face is that we are all dealing with our respective hardships during these uncertain times.
As such I will absoluely *not* be offended by inability to assist me in my current ordeal...but any genuine offers of help will be grealy appreciated as I only have about a week or two tops to finish sorting this all out...
I tend to hold these updates back, as I do not want to ever trouble other people with what is owed on my tab, so to speak, but with literally nowhere else to turn but here, I'm hoping with every fragment of my being that I can have a miracle happen this holiday season...I wish the best for all of us and I hope everyone 'makes it' if you will.
Any questions about my situation can be directed to my notes, I'll respond asap, again if anyone wishes to help send to my paypal. I really need a boost here, spread the word if you can at the very least, any sort of assistance on this front is most welcome right now.
Stay warm and safe out there everyone, I'm hoping to bring more positive updates soon, I'll begin sharing a new song VERY soon from my upcoming album so stay tuned on that note.
Until then, may we each make it through the pain from the past year and create something better in 2021

Much needed update: Old art and new situations
Posted 4 years agoSo in my absence I still had a few pieces of art that were never posted here, I think tonight I'll be touching up my gallery and removing/adding whatever I feel is necessary to keep things more in line. As for other updates? I'm editing up my profile which has been a massive shitfest for a while and in need of a more detailed but down to Earth approach to getting to know me.
There's a lot that has happened to me in the past 4 years and I'm HOPING I can clear the air with many people and give a more concrete and consistent and CURRENT view of how I'm doing at present. There hasn't been much posted here, even in the past week, even though I've said upon my return I'd give much more input on how things have been going for me so....expect just that, a more detailed view on my thoughts, my life, my fursona, and everything in between that needs to be disclosed.
Keep an eye out for more updates, they will be coming soon enough, possibly within the next HOUR or two if all goes well....
I'm a bit tired but I need this, I really really REALLY need to get many things off my chest and disclose my thoughts on a few current events...

Urgent: A few lingering struggles at home
Posted 4 years agoNOTE: In regards to what characters I'm offering for sale I'll say this right now I'm interested in serious inquiries only. I do NOT have time for 'maybes' or 'payment plans'.
I need people willing to pay in full. If you give me 20 - 50 bucks at a time across several payments it does nothing to help the problem that needs immediate attention. I'm sorry but I can only accept payment in full so I can ensure every bit of money goes to bills + food.
Food/Home needs - This costs roughly around 200 a month on average, feeding myself and partner.
However any/all help towards this is appreciated, i'm not picky.
Rent next month - This is going to be a longshot, but rent is 675 a month.
Due to the urgency of this situation, I'm offering some characters for sale.
What's for sale + Price
Bull Adopt by Thymilph - 300$ - I bought this from him a while back, I love him, but I NEED to do something for bills right now and I'm backed into a corner.
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....hJ?usp=sharing
Coyote - Sketchpage + a few art pieces - 300$ (if no one bites at this price I might lower it, give me an offer if this is too high)
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....77?usp=sharing
Cerberus - refsheet + a few sketches - 200$
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....w1?usp=sharing
Hellhound - LOTS of high quality art and sketchpage by Pac - 600$ (high price is due to art quality + my love for this character, serious buyers only, may lower price for those seriously interested so give me an offer and I will see if I agree)

Big Update 12/18/20 - Letting go and catching up
Posted 4 years agoNOTE: A more detailed update on current events will be posted in my NEXT journal which I'll be doing later today. *This* one is a reflection of things past to present so I didn't really touch on the full spectrum of what has changed in my life; this was more of an introspective rant on the good, bad, and ugly but there are still some gaps to fill so bear with me until later.
So what have been up to this past year? Other than doing my best to get by, I've taken long introspective reflection on myself, my life, my failures and triumphs..
Many of these situations are not easy to discuss but they can be summarized as follows: The more you know the more you don't know. Pain is a powerful teacher.
The bad news?
I'll be honest with you all, I failed to keep in touch with many people, with upholding a couple of groups I was trusted to watch over as well and overall I've been lost in many ways.
This isn't to say that I'm in a position where I feel incapable of coming out of the twisting pit of bullshit that I've been dealing with but rather I've lost touch with a lot of the creative innocence I've had in the past. In turn, there's this intrusive line of thinking which has slowly twisted me from the inside out which is to say that its left me at a point where I have a habit of giving my power away when I need to hold onto it the most.
By power I mean this literally and symbolically, I've not mentioned this prior but I should note that for several years I was in a living situation where I was not doing the best for myself in many ways. I was living with my best friend, I still care for said person but as they had a tendency to do many things which were a danger to themselves or others, for a while my mind, emotions, my self-care, etc was all strained to a breaking point. I've moved on since then but those years of trying to force many things to work out were not working and its my own doing for not getting what I needed to get taken care of. In the process, I lost touch with myself, my hopes, my creative aspirations and lost track of any existing projects as a result.
And what about any half-finished work that I had saved? All gone unless it was saved on a digital drive, all of my creative work saved to my external drive is now lost after a corruption and lost of data happened as a result. I lost gigs upon gigs of data, from dank memes to photography to creative archives, all gone and yet somehow I'm still doing my best to move forward as if it didn't happen. I didn't come off as phased at the time (and this recent loss of data happened in the past year). However, shrugging these situations off, these moments of loss, is a bit of a defense mechanism I didn't even know I was doing. I've taken so many instances of personal loss as if it was 'normal' and honestly I should have just allowed myself to get 'upset' or emotional about certain things; it seems I've restricted certain feelings from getting too strong or at least, visible, probably out of habit.
Now, what about more current events.... has there been anything else which has worn me out this past while? Yes. Between occasionally struggling to pay bills to having a distance between myself and the world around me in my current city. Without giving too many details, lets just say I don't have any friend's here who are truly familiar with me or whom I can talk to about, well, my life/needs. There are two to four people here who I do consider friends to a point but they don't know me the same as many of you do and due to this it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to find the motivation to socialize or process my own ponderings on self-care. Friendship is a major ordeal for me, just plain and simple companionship means so much to me so when I can't have it physically in RL I've managed to get sucked into a digital whirlwind called social media. Unfortunately, we each have a tendency to crave validation and feedback to an unhealthy extent which can lead to conflicting emotions or complex but unnecessary habits. We might literally lose sleep over the opinions of sheep if we've convinced ourselves the sheep will give us our dopamine fix when necessary.
But on a lighter note, as dismal as much of this might sound, these experiences have been necessary. The ups and downs with previous roommates, the living situations that either didn't work out or led to realizations of just how much of a broken cycle a person can get sucked into before they finally 'snap out of it'. Sometimes we have to face our deepest pitfall into the depths of what feels like limbo before we are allowed to climb a rope out of the abyss into something better. We all have suffered long and hard this year, in our respective ways, haven't we? Will it ever end? Let me go on about something else for this next segment.
The good news?
Well what is the good news then? For starters I'm in a new situation with someone I care a good deal for and I'm living far enough from previous connections to have a change in scenery but close enough to visit old friends with a decent amount of ease if the need arises. I feel like every year that has led up to this one has served a purpose in that each chapter of the past decade has brought me closer to my 'true self'. I do not necessarily even mean this in terms of 'furry' necessarily but something else entirely. In retrospect of the past, for a good while I was really fragmented in my thinking or handling of social/societal situations and for many reasons I would consider myself to have been 'sick' in terms of mental or emotional stability for some time. This was moreso small instances of distance and delusion in how I approached other people and my own well being as well. I've been emotional/mentally stressed and broken on and off for years and for a while this left a bit of a dent in my personal trust for others, even some of which I still hold dear to my heart even now at the end of the world as we know it.
Ultimately, its not all doom and gloom, there's still a light shining not at the end of the tunnel but the entire walk through the dark if only we can allow ourselves to create that spark of hopeful light to begin with. Many of you, my dearest friends, have stuck by me at my worst and done more for me than I feel I deserve, so thank you all for still be around and taking time to hear me and what I have to say. I literally couldn't overcome some of those past barriers and make it this far without you; I could probably rant on in more detail about some of the 'fragments' of what brought me down but there's no reason to dwell on the pain which I've finally triumphed over...
In closing
The past - I'm thankful for my experiences, hardships and trials, despite my failures I've come a long way and will continue to evolve as a person.
The present - A few difficulties have arisen, I need to choose my own needs often enough so that life at home becomes less of a chore and more motivated, creative, and grounded.
The future - Cannot be predicted it can only be created and I'll tell you all right now I'm whipping up a mighty fine alchemical brew of possibilities....
I would like to say more, truly but its now almost 7am and I've been adding to this on and off for a couple of hours. Thank you all for reading this far (or any of it really).
So what have been up to this past year? Other than doing my best to get by, I've taken long introspective reflection on myself, my life, my failures and triumphs..
Many of these situations are not easy to discuss but they can be summarized as follows: The more you know the more you don't know. Pain is a powerful teacher.
The bad news?
I'll be honest with you all, I failed to keep in touch with many people, with upholding a couple of groups I was trusted to watch over as well and overall I've been lost in many ways.
This isn't to say that I'm in a position where I feel incapable of coming out of the twisting pit of bullshit that I've been dealing with but rather I've lost touch with a lot of the creative innocence I've had in the past. In turn, there's this intrusive line of thinking which has slowly twisted me from the inside out which is to say that its left me at a point where I have a habit of giving my power away when I need to hold onto it the most.

I'm alive, i'm not dead or going anywhere, I've been struggling to maintain on many things in RL so I've been distant and quiet elsewhere as well.

MUSIC VIDEO - ''Nebulosation - Claustrophobia - Edited by me
Posted 9 years agoheres the weirdass random trippy project I mentioned earlier this past week.
Music is by Nebulosation
Fractal visuals are by VoidVisuals
Other imagery is Cymatic software showing effects of sound on water molecules
All editing of clips done by me, I OWN NOTHING...this was just something I did for fun. I've wanted a music video for this song for a while so...here

Rest Calm
Posted 9 years agoI went to die in a seaside hotel
Lanes of memory paved by sweet frozen moments
Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go
Every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
You are the moon pulling my black waters
You are the land in my dark closet
Stay by my side until it all goes dark forever
When silent the silence comes closer
Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go
Within there's every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
Every little memory resting calm in me
(Resting in a dream, smiling back at me)
Resting in a dream
(Calling me to come back home, to caress the river with awe)
Every little memory resting calm in me
(Resting in a dream, smiling back at me)
Resting in a dream
(Calling me to come back home, rest calm and remember me)
(Rest in a dream)
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
I tried to take a bad dragon toy...(UPDATE)
Posted 10 years agoAnd I must say, how the FUCK do some of you people do this? Not to mention with the large horse sized ones, do foxes and other canid species just have like a self lubricating asshole or something? if it starts to detect pain in the nerve endings their tailhole like self lubricates as a defense mechanism or something?
yeah ok, I've taken dong on and off, i'm not gonna lie, but its not my preferred thing either, but still thought I'd at least be able to get JUST THE TIP of the damn toy and to no avail could it do much but temporarily slip sorta in SORTA.
Maybe i'm just a tight ass (hurr hurr) but seriously HOW do people take these? Or is my ass just that fuggin tight?
Please discuss to your hearts content.
ALSO QUICK ADDITIONAL NOTE:
1. It was a medium Virgil the drippy dragon c:
2. it nearly ripped me a new one and the tip didnt even go all the way in
3. It was hot for what I could do but still too slippery/too tight/etc so it was a no go for now c:
4. i want to take one of these JUST once in my life so maybe practice? c.c
