>Commission Prices< >Commission Status<Hey guys! Apologize for not being very active online but I guess anyone that knew about my last trip, knew this would be the case. Even though this was a "vacation" of sorts, it became more of an addon to my workload. In terms of art, I'm still working on some older comms that I will be finishing soon but other than that, I've been focusing on other stuff. My fiance is in quite the pickle and bad things keep piling up.
--Rant Ahead--
He still doesn't have a full house of his own and is still living in his deceased grandparent's home which is going into foreclosure (although he might be able to delay it). His old home is still in ruins but there are contractors working on it. Initially, he wanted to move back into it but it would be to expensive so now he's going to sell it. The insurance company was covering the costs however there are damages they said were present before the fire so they refuse to fund the rest of the fixes which according to the contractors, costs $30,000. That was EXACTLY the amount that was given to my fiance in reimbursement funds. Apparently he was suppose to get $80,000 but the insurance company cut it down due to calculations of the destroyed items. Of course, these are items destroyed by the fire and not the a**hole volunteer firemen that destroyed my fiance's stuff for fun. I don't hate firemen, it's just that my fiance was unlucky enough to get the "a**hole squad" as the chief fireman called them. A lot of volunteer firemen in my fiance's state do that. They even made fun of his toys and collectibles. Anyway, it's a shame the reimbursement funds are so low. We looked over the paperwork and all the pricings looked unfair. A fully working NES in the BOX is not worth $15!! >:( they even LIED about the prices of items my fiance wrote down. He DID NOT write $0 for a working clothes dryer. The only items that were fairly priced was physical money and antiques. We tried calling the insurance worker in charge of this but he hasn't answered yet. He disappeared before so I hope he doesn't do it again. Gosh, I really wish these issue would end but it keeps going! My fiance's sister is also co-in-charge of all this and got all of this info MONTHS before my fiance did. She WAS suppose to give this info to him and talk to him about this stuff but they don't like each other so she never bothered. The reason why she has charge is because when their dad died, he didn't give a will with the home's ownership so both of them have to deal with it despite the fact that she doesn't live there. In fact, both him and his dad didn't like her. Every time she came over they had to hide valuables because she would STEAL from them. Her son too. Actually she has THREE sons but two of them live with their mother's mom. She's a really nice lady and gives us advice all the time. His sister only has one son with her because her mother reuses to take him (he's a huge trouble maker). That is the only reason why she still has one son with her. It doesn't help that she also does drugs and the "husband" is no where to be found. What a good mother x-x. Anyway, speaking of her, you know what I said about the contractors needing those big mons? Well, my fiance was considering canceling everything and just taking the mons for himself since selling the house could take a long time and the fact that that house is ALSO being foreclosed puts a time limit on everything. Well, without his permission, she took that money, technically HIS money (she has access to it though) and gave it to the contractors. AHHHHHHHH. We were just discussing about keeping the money a DAY before we found out. Now it could take MONTHS or even a year before he gets money from the house being sold. Not to mention he only gets a bit of it and has to split it with his sister. HOWEVER, she did promise that once the house gets sold, he WILL get that 30K back. So thinking about it, in total, he MIGHT get 45K. Such a big gamble but I guess there's nothing we can do about it now. I guess now my fiance has to stay in his mold and dust infested house for a longer amount of time until he gets the funds for a rentable home. And you could be like, "well can't he live in an apartment or something?" He would be he currently has less than $10 in his bank right now only gets money from a monthly pension. He also just quit his old security job (they gave abusing and little paying workloads) so he's gone job hunting. Not to mention he has 3 cats to take care of and an ENTIRE TWO FLOOR HIGH HOUSE of stuff to trash/keep/sell. He has trouble throwing away memorable items so it's been hard to organize things. It's the main reason I'm so busy here. I'm trying to help him clean out the place and convince him to throw things away. He also has a storage unit of stuff too. This place is all over the place, I mean, there's not even a working shower here. We have to go to his mom's house to shower and don't even get me started on her. She acts nice and is trying to help my fiance by paying his school payments and whatnot but there's still something untrusting of her. I say that because she did A LOT of bad things in the past. Her and his dad hated each other and did a court case to see who would take care of him. His mother dated/slept with multiple men to get a better opinion in court and also got her family to vouch for her. The judge also hated men and therefore took her side. That judge was even FIRED afterward because of her misandry. She ended up winning and got to take turns to take care of my fiance. He was FORCED and I really do mean it, to live with his mom every other month. Even in a BLIZZARD that KILLED PEOPLE, she enforced police to get my fiance driven to her house. She physically and mentally abused him and hurt his pets. Yes, she even abused animals for fun. Now, if you met her, you would NEVER BELIEVE these statements were true. They are and my fiance and his family acknowledge it. She though, will never mention it and will most likely say otherwise. She even hired physiologists to convince him that his father was the abusive one and when they refused to believe that, they would be fired. Anyway, she now lives in a mansion with a rich husband who doesn't like my fiance and hardly her. He kinda just stays in his room all day and sleeps in separate bedroom than her. She offered to let my fiance live in their basement (which is bigger than most apartments) for free but her husband wanted a rule set. If he stayed there he wouldn't be allowed his cats (he won't say why), guns (despite my fiance's next job probably requiring it) and I would not be able to visit for more than 3 DAYS. Yeah, a $1000 trip for 3 days... He stated that because my fiance should focus more on school than me despite the fact that we video chat for HOURS everyday and me visiting would only comfort him. We don't need to go to cool locations or eat out everyday. I just want to be with him to comfort him and make him happy but I guess that doesn't mean anything to that guy. Yeah, lots of oofs. So let's counts the amount of oofs in my fiance's life. 1.He was abused 2.His grandparents died 3.His dad died of cancer 4.His house burns down 5.His valuables and memorables are destroyed 6.His reimbursement funds are little and were taken without knowing 7.The old house being sold is a gamble so he could end up with $0 8.He has no money and no job 9.He still has to go to school 10. His fiance lives in another country she won't be able to live with him for a long while.

If you read all of that then thank you. I'm not wanting to bum people out so if you didn't read it, that's fine too! It's just that so much has happened over the year and I fear for what the future will be. Sometimes you just gotta rant it out.
Anyway, enough sad stuff. How are you guys doing? Has your new year been going good? Despite the bad stuff we have been doing some fun things. I got to go to my first furry event! It was a Furry New Years Ball at a hotel. There's also a FurBowl 2 weeks into February so I'm contemplating on staying a bit longer. Not sure yet. I also got to play Red Dead Redemption 2 and Smash Ultimate! My fiance couldn't put the controller down when he played Spirit Mode on Smash! We also set up a Wii U so I got to watch my fiance play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. I should make more Zelda art tbh. Anyone see that Steven Universe season final? 👀 What an great ending! It makes me curious as to what the next season will be. What else happened? Oh yeah, I got drunk for the first time, haha. At home of course! It was my first time drinking hard cider so I kinda overdid it. LMAO, my fiance made me take a video of him in his fursuit head while he was drunk and it was just him rolling on the floor while saying random stuff. I don't condone drinking too much! It was just a fun thing to experience one time. I don't usually drink but I do like cider so it was something to try.

Thanks for reading and I hope you guys are having a nice day :)
It has been troublesome but we're managing. As long as we're together, I believe things will get better!
