Hello from the other side!

Geeze'm Pete! 5 years?! It's been 5 years since my last out reaching journal? That oughta show you how good I am with consistency!

For real though I'd just love to thank you all for the absolutely massive flood of love for my latest story and all the other favorites my other stories have gotten! You are all a grand inspiration to keep writing.

5 Years is a damned long time for the last update. A helluva lot of stuff has happened since then'n there. I moved into an actual home! Not going to say it's been super ideal but it is what it is at this point. There are days that are good, some that are great, and days where my every limb seems to have a two-ton weight tied to them.
I have driven myself outwards to feel out kinks and such and as a result, I've gone out further into the ABDL community/scene and got a chat for local abdl's to chatterate'n just be social. I've also been streaming games! I have/had a youtube channel I was working on but I don't know if editing videos' is my thing just yet. I've also got twitters that I post semi-regularly too. I'll probably update my profile page here with all the relevant info'n such!

Speaking of ABDL... the story I'm writing the Turing Asylum Nursery story has been so incredibly long coming. I started it out as something of a personal story well back in 2018 and just kind of lost interest in writing for a bit. Recently though with all that's been going on around I've kind of delved into the story as a relief valve of sorts. Like I was saying on twitter my brains been on fire with need/want but to add to that this story has been a massive relief valve to get at least some of that energy out. I've also become a caretaker of sorts for two furs in the local scene which has also influenced my writing a bit. The third way is under... way. Mmm, no way to avoid that pun was there? It was holy unintentioned I assure you! I'm try'n to incorporate as many of my influencers into the story as much as possible so you may see character names that are very familiar. This is much more of a thank you to them for being there and offering guidance with certain things.

Now onto other things such as news and updates! I'll try to address these things in the same order that I mentioned them in the starting bit.
So yeah I moved! Me'n my partner were looking to get an actual house and we managed to get one! Its been a big change and to say that it was a smooth transition is not exactly truthful? Not sure if that's the right way to put things. We moved house in the midst of the hight of the pandemic so it was all wish wash with waiting for my transfer to be okayed to my new store and try'n to get things settled at the house.
The first day on the job at the new store was full of anxiety but after a few days and getting the tools I needed I fell into my place again and was back on my own two feet. I freely admit though that this store is a massive downgrade from my old. I'm still so used to having a deluge of customers and chaos that my brain kinda ticks in ways that just don't sit well with me lol. Like I want to push but I'm not one to push. I can make suggestions but it's up to the recipient to actually do anything with the suggestions. I'm working to get full time and hope that my seniority within the company will be looked at before anything else but I've been hoping they'd do that for a while and I've been looked over for so long. At least at this store with how slow things are I can do some actual work on the more important things that this store is lacking.

For the transition from apartment life to homeowner life... well it's been a tad rough getting used to having a new housemate? It was a massive monetary leap and a fairly tumultuous tumble downhill. Getting used to language and mannerisms of the housemate has been rough to say the least. Getting used to being alone in my own room hasn't been too much since me'n my partner had been sleeping separately due to worry about the virus. The only thing I can't really get used to is, and pardon me for being vague on this, my partner sleeping with the housemate. It's fairly complicated so I don't really want to go into the details and end up muddling them horribly. Just know it was a thing that was brought up before the move'n that it was agreed upon as an okay thing that we'd work on somehow.
The housemate himself well he could put a drunken weather-worn Irish seaman to shame with the language he uses on a daily basis to describe anything and everything. I don't think I've heard a single sentence that hadn't come out of him that didn't have some expletive in it. The language seems to flow in with his temperament which can be as bad or worse than the language at times. Needless to say, we've butt heads more'n a couple of times and it hasn't helped my depression (or what I'm assuming is acute depression at the most since I'm not a psychologist and haven't gone to see one! Yet.) It's gotten a tad better since things've settled but there are still bits and bobs that come up'n are put to the light that causes tensions to rise.

On a side note, I've put myself into chastity and made my partner my keyholder which has made playtime a lot more fun when we get to do that. Now, this doesn't go all the time meaning I'm not in chastity exactly 24/7 but when at home I usually have the cage on. There are days though that I have left it off and tell my partner and give my explanation as to why I don't have it on and he's very understanding about it. It's just sometimes it feels much more like a burden than a kinky fun time thing y'know? And to that point during the settling, there were times when we both felt uneasy here and just want to leave. I'd say more on that but I don't want to go any deeper into that just yet.

I've become a caretaker/Daddyfur! Of two wonderful littles in my state <3 both of whom I love equally with enough love for everyone else as well! Both of whom trust me and are very, very sweet and you might just end up reading about them at some point in the Nursery. I've found that the caretaker role is kind of natural to me? I feel at ease taking care of littles and apparently I can easily put people into littlespace or innocent mode with ease! During these times, especially in the states, it's been hard to feel at ease and just having someone to talk to that can ground you and make you feel safe or comfortable is something we'd all love and I feel like it's my goal to help put fears away while helping pick people up and help ease their worries. Just be aware that during these times some folks just need an outlet, someone to talk to, to listen to their worries and fears, they just need a relief valve to help get rid of the pent up energies inside. Or just be the shoulder to rest upon. Not everyone is handling this the same way and not everyone is impacted by this the same way just try to be there for one another y'know?

And onto the last bit of news! I have made a twitch.tv account where I stream games. Random games but games non the less! Sometimes I even have a mic running or music playing! I've been trying to stream on my days off, which are plentiful since I'm only employed part-time, when I'm not cleaning the house or something. Mostly things like Final Fantasy XIV or GTA Online, when I can get it to act decently since it seems to love eating up FPS when I go to stream, and other such things! Feel free to follow me over at twitch.tv/nybear87. As for the youtube thing, I think I'm going to hold off on that until I get a better grasp on editing and such. Or get someone who will edit it for me? Ha! I use OBS to stream and did use it for recording as well but I'm still working out the kinks and knots in the set up for recording.
To turn back a bit to the story bit. I'm not sure if I'd feel 100% with accepting commissions right now but when/if I ever do I'll be sure to post something alerting you folks :) Again I'd love to thank you all for the epic amount of love for the latest story and some of the older stories in this account! I am curious to hear though, what part of the stories you've all read did you enjoy the most? What images or feelings did I conjure?

Love you all and in the words of James A. Janisse "Be good people." <3
