Life updates! (Baby, BLFC, Beyond~)
3 years ago
Well, it’s been a minute here so let me try and grab a quick second to myself and lay out how things have been going in Castle De la Rev.
I guess it’s no surprise to ye all that our new addition really upended life as we knew it. Zing has been…well it’s absolutely wonderful being his dad. I know that I got the ‘easy’ part with my wife doing the heavy lifting (and delivering, and feeding, and pumping) and I’ve been doing my best to balance the seesaw and be the partner she knew she was getting when she married me. My work unfortunately canceled the Work from Home order that we had in place for two years, and the return to the office has been stressful and added duress to a process we were just getting our paws around. This has led to some discussions of Zel finally taking a job befitting of her Masters degree and her expertise, with the resultant money being enough to cover me being a stay at home dad and bolstering our funds via commissions and the such. I know that this is ‘the dream’ and if it happens, I’m all for it. A part of me is incredibly nervous however, and anxious because I don’t want to retread the steps of my deadbeat dad. A little dramatic, but the concern is there. We’ll see how it all shakes out very soon here.
As for Zing himself…my god. Every day is a new experience, a new expression, a new sound he’s figured out how to make. He actually shows interest in cartoons and books now, and yes, he seems to enjoy the jelly bean dog show. He loves music and gets big mad during guitar solos, since he prefers to hear me sing. So far his favorite songs are ‘Do you wanna taste it’ by Wigwam, ‘gimme gimme gimme’ by Abba and the Bluey theme played on my ocarina. He’s just so happy and seems like he knows he’s safe and cared for, and it’s cliche, but I would do absolutely anything for this family I’ve made. I love them both with everything and…there’s just not much more to say. I’ll put it in words via my art. ^^
BLFC!
Zel and I will be attending this year, and while we won’t be staying at the GSR (we live down the street) we should be around in the Zoo area or browsing the Dealer’s den. Someday I’ll get into that artist alley but this year…haha, things came up.
I am eminently approachable at con! If you see me or want to swing by and say hi, feel free to message me. I love trading art tips or just interacting with the folk of the community. Timing being what it is, I won’t be able to offer badge commissions before this weekend, but I may offer some ‘pick up at the con’ sketch commissions or the like. Not sure! Running on baby time now.
As before and so often, thank you all for the support and love you’ve shown me and mine over the years. This community houses about 75 percent of my friends / social interactions (the other 25 percent are renaissance buddies) and I’m so happy to have you.
Cheers!

Congrats, Reva! I hope everything continues to go well.
