For those of you close to me you probably already know most of this. But I figure if someone checking into my inactive gallery wonders whats going on.

First of all, my partner decided to go back to law school, and did so in a state that was way more expensive than where we were living. So I went from comfortable abundance to more than double the living costs and half the income. So while I do have some commissions, and gifts that were given to me I haven't been diligently uploading them and would need to put effort into figuring out what I haven't shared yet in this gallery.

Beyond that life change status. Another major update. While Ive explored gender for ages, it took some time for me to realize I was trans. Even more time to come out to my partner about it. And in the last year made significant progress in finally starting to live as the real me. I started HRT a few months ago and am extremely genderfluid. Its been nice to start to actually move to a point I can express it like my character Luxe has helped me with as a model.

I also finally told my partner of 23 years that I'm a Furry. Amazing how long that one took, but weirdly enough the hardest thing to talk about. She has a phobia of costumes and mascots that have made me misread her as hating the fandom when really it was a different barrier entirely.

I went to MFF 2023. Got to see friends from the fandom over the last few months. Got to meet some folks very very important to me.

Now that my partner is a lawyer once we unbury ourselves financially I may return to commissioning and supporting art I love. In terms of personal exploration, I've uncovered some therian-style connections to being inhuman at my core sense of self. And found connection specifically with hooved mammals in particular Donkeys that Ive only just started to explore. I'm going to work on some self expression in my commissions in the next year or so while I work out that part of myself more and figure out long term if I incorporate that into Luxe as a character or if I just create something new entirely. Only problem is Luxe is an actual name I'm considering IRL so likely whatever I do with new self expression will also use the same name.

So thats the big stuff. Beyond that I'm still highly active in the fandom itself, particularly among queer/trans fans of transformation. I manage a social space on Telegram with a lot of folks who have become life-long friends. I'm also around on Discord.

Easy to find somnilux in both places.

Also FA I really hope you let us change account names. Its really tired to be stuck to something this outdated in my life.

Cheers,
