Decisions
General | Posted 3 weeks agoI'm currently debating on moving everything back over to my old account.
This account was essentially supposed to be like a 'back up/personal account' and then I just used it for everything hahaha
So I'm at a toss up on moving back to my old account now because it has been around since about 2015 AND it just makes sense in my brain for some reason??
IDK, feel free to follow it and I will post a journal in case I do move everything over!

Hello everyone!
General | Posted 10 months agoHello!!
I hope you've all been doing well so far this year!
It's been quite the busy household here so far this year! We had Christmas, then baby girls second birthday a few days after! Then it was a lot of cleaning the house out and finally actually settling into the place now that the holidays were over!
After all that and it seemed like everything was settled and on track. Baby girl got sick with covid for the last week and we all went down with her π
Definitely was not a fun week, but we made it through!
Life has definitely been keeping us on our toes this last couple months!!

Commissions CLOSED
General | Posted 2 years agoI am officially open for commissions!
These will be limited slots at a time to make sure things don't pile up <3
Since moving back home with my daughter it has been almost impossible to find any babysitters.
I work two days a week and my parents help watch her those two days, but it is not enough to be able to afford our own place yet.
At this point I'm trying to pretty much just work from home now doing art and custom crochet pieces!~
This not only lets me do the things I love for work, but I can also spend much more time with my daughter!
I'm hoping to expand more in my art over the near future and create many new creations for you guys!!
With that said, Commissions are officially back open!!

Why I'm leaving the community and where I'm going.
General | Posted 2 years agoTo those who it may concern, I would like to describe what has happened this last 2 years.
I don't want to explain myself as to me, personally, it feels like I'm just throwing out excuse after excuse. But these aren't excuses. These are real life circumstances that have changed my life forever and need to be put out there. For my friends that have been on here by my side for years, those who've watched me grow up. Hell I've been in the community since I was 13 and I never expected any of this to happen and I hate that it had to happen. There is joy out of this of course because of my daughter. But there's a lot that's happened behind the scenes that have fucked up my life that no one knows about.
I ended up being in a very toxic relationship for the last 4 years and didn't realize it till things ended.
When I got pregnant with my daughter, my ex told me that my art wasn't enough and that I had to work more to provide for our child. Work became my full time job, I was working 50 hours a week as a manager while pregnant. I did this everyday until my water broke. I was heading into work when my water broke. Not only was I working but I was expected to cook dinner, do the dishes, laundry, take out the trash, take care of the animals all by myself. He wouldn't help me with anything and would belittle me everytime I couldn't keep up with things. It was so toxic I went into a down world spiral. There was absolutely no time for me to do art with how much was going on and everyone understood that.
After I had her I was so excited and expected things to go back to where I'd be able to do art, especially with how much maternity leave I had, I thought I would be able to keep up on things more and have time for art here and there while watching her. Especially since she was in the NICU for 2 months it gave me time for those things. Atleast thats what I thought. He still pushed me to do everything, a week after my C-section he kept telling me more and more that I needed to return to work and shouldnt be on maternity leave. I was constantly being yelled at and told I wasn't doing enough. My stress levels sky rocketed, my post partum depression began to kick in. I had nothing left in me to fight, I was so tired and shut down I didn't want to do anything for a while besides watch my daughter.
when My daughter was 8 months old, things took a turn for the worst this year.
I had to call the cops on her father for domestic violence. All the details from that night are still so vivid in my brain like it happened yesterday, and the screams from my daughter. I won't discuss what happened that night on here, that's something I would like to keep private at this time. It still triggers me, I don't believe I'm allowed to talk much on the subject yet since there is still legal stuff going on as he is currently on probation for everything that happened.
He took everything from us though. The night everything happened we left everything behind. So much of the stuff was in his name as well. I had no car when I moved back home, no bank account, no clothes, I even had to get a new phone because of threats from his family trying to get it back since it was under his account. I tried to remove it from the account myself so I could keep the phone but the phone company wouldn't allow it. So I went and got a new phone and shipped them the old phone. There's so much stuff that's happened in the last two years, I'm so drained.
But I'm proud to say I've been able to grow and be happier since I've left.
I've gotten to see my daughter be happier than she ever was when we were with him. The animals are no longer scared, I've even been happier and able to provide more for my daughter than I ever was.
To think when I met him I was originally 180Ibs. When I moved home I was 108Ibs. Now I'm at a healthy 122Ibs and it seems like things are just getting better and better.
Stress is still a big part for me right now. But I couldn't be more thankful for where I am now.
To my friends on here who've been with me through the years.
Thank you, I will never forget any of you and I will do whatever I can to keep in contact when I can. I may not respond as much as I used to, but I have a lot on my plate right now and I know you understand.
To the couple commissioners who I owe art from before my pregnancy. I deeply apologize again, I never expected my life to take such a drastic turn.
In anyway I can I will repay you. Please send me a note and I will make sure to send a refund of the proper amount owed.
I will not take any more negativity or hate from any one in my life. I'm done with being treated like shit and belittled for being a good person. I want to make things right in the simplest way possible.
I know many of you have been kind, but my brain is tired, and I just want to make things right.
Thank you again for those who have been with me through the years.
This isn't good bye, just a see you later <3For those who need to know
General | Posted 2 years agoI will probly not be doing commissions again ever.
My plate is to full with everything that's happened. I have nothing else to say, life has been to difficult and busy trying to restart everything.
If you want a refund please message me, it may take a little time for me to get the funds, but I will do my best. I would've loved to have finished those last couple commissions on my list, but there's to much shit going on in my life.
I will still be drawing, but only personal works and even then idk how often that will be, I barely have time for myself anymore with everything going on.
My telegram and discord currently arent working on my phone, so notes here are best. I had to get a new phone because of threats from my exs family and the fact it was under his name. So I haven't been able to set anything up.
Thank you for being a amazing community, but its my time to leave and do what's best for my daughter. Idk what else to say in this matter..

Offers on all characters | OPEN
General | Posted 2 years agoTaking offers on all characters right now.
My daughter and I had to up and leave everything behind this last week. The investigation is still ongoing so I can't post anything about whats going on..
The hardest part right now is we have no money. My partner had us make a shared bank account under his name so when we left. Well I lost all our money...
So trying to make money anyway I can right now to provide for baby girl. I can't do commissions right now, I'd prefer to finish these last 3 before opening anything. I don't want to add more stress than there already is with the situation..
Feel free to ask about anyone in my toyhouse. The only ones off limits are Carter and Flame Star.

General | Posted 2 years agoIt's been a crazy journey this last year.
And boy do I mean CRAZY! So many things have changed, happened. Hell, I can't even keep up with half of it!
After having our Daughter at the end of December, things definitely got stressful and hectic.
Constant running around while she was in the nicu, financial issues. Then came the comfort of her being home finally.
But not rest for financial stress this year, no sir. When I got back to work I felt like I was being worked like cattle.
Breaking my back, getting almost no rest and then coming home to be a fulltime mom.
Damn, my brain became literal mush. I was so defeated to the point it affected everything I did in my life.
PPD started to creep up on me slowly and I broke. Mentally this year I broke 100%.
When that happened I'm not gonna lie my brain went fuck everybody.
Because I was so mentally worn out, I couldn't deal with anything in life anymore and coming home and seeing my daughter is the one thing that kept me going and sane.
Last month I finally made the decision to leave my work and find something better for myself.
and I am proud to say, that I have.
I have felt joy that I haven't been able to feel in a long time. I'm able to relax and spend time with my daughter and not stress about work or other things on the side.
Im able to finally enjoy myself and my family and friends.
and wow can I just say, this has been the best time of my life ever. I am so thankful for the path that I've gotten myself on now. I'm just so so thankful.
I've gotten to do some art as well, not much, but I have done some and it's been much more enjoyable <3
Soon I will share some crochet projects I've worked on, that's been a big hobby for me the last few months as it was such a stress reliever to not have to think while doing something. it was perfect for my brain to zone out during that stressful time!
But now, time for some fun!! I'm enjoying my life finally <33
