Where I've Been?
a year ago
Rawr~! <3
Right, so.... I know I made a post last year, and I've been making one or two comments on journals and art here and there, but other than that... I've been mostly lurking. Part of me feels like I owe an explanation to those that might have been worried about me. A bit of catch-up if you will.
So... to start things off. For one reason or another, some part of me started... distancing myself from the furry community despite still acknowledging myself AS a furry. As a result I ended up not really looking at FA for a good while. Then I took a peek back in last year but was still more or less... heavily inactive. I don't even have an explanation for this distancing from FA tbh, it just sort of happened.
Beyond that, a couple of things have changed about me:
First off, I've gotten more comfortable with telling people I'm trans. Yeah, that's right. I'm not biologically female, but in my mind, I'm a girl through and through. Still can't bring myself to come out to anyone I know irl though.
I... am very likely to have autism and ADHD. No official, formal diagnosis but it's become pretty evident over the years, and whatever's going on with my brain has made it impossible for me to find work, and as a result, because I have no insurance and no money, I can't even go GET a diagnosis. As for the ADHD, I've been told that runs through genetics, and our family has had it for... seemingly generations, even before people knew what ADHD was. I guess this all isn't so much something that's changed and more something that I just didn't recognize until recently.
The last thing I wanted to address is uh... something that's a bit more... light hearted, I suppose. My OC. As some people may have noticed, my icon changed in the past year. So here's the explanation on that one:
Eve still exists, yes. Though I haven't used her for anything in... forever. During this time, a new OC that is... honestly basically just... ME in a fluffier form took hold. This character first started out as just my character in FFXIV and then she slowly evolved over time. She does have multiple forms, buuuuut apart from just... flat out being a cat, the other most common one was a Pokemon form. For a little while, she was an Eevee, and a friend of mine conceptualized a design for her. Pink with some heart patterns here and there. This was also around the time that fusion Pokemon started becoming really popular, and eventually, I had a cute idea: A Mew and Eevee fusion. Well, I wasn't the only one who thought that idea was cute, and as a result, my OC's Pokemon form went from just being an Eevee to being what I call a Mewvee, which also... got drawn.
So uh... Introducing Susumi... in Mewvee form.

A couple of cute little details I'd like to point out:
Around her neck, she has a ribbon on. Attached is a heart-shaped Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Exploration Team badge... set at one of the highest ranks in the game. It's there because I just love PMD. This ribbon and badge combo was just a little idea I had while I was still designing the normal Eevee form and suggested it get added on when the fusion idea happened.
Her tail has a mixture of both female and male Eevee's tail pattern, to sort of hint at the fact that I'm trans. THIS... was the artist's idea.
That's... all that came to mind for today. Hopefully this got across all clearly.
