Trump has won the presidential election. While every effort is being made to call for recounts and confirm whether some votes were even counted at all, there are people who now live in fear or desperation, or both.

I am one who lives in both. I'm confident in my assumption that a Trump presidency will embolden those who want to see people I love locked up or lynched. I have gay friends, trans friends, disabled friends, black and poc friends, mentally ill friends. I adore them and I know damn well that there are people who want them out of the public eye. Child molesters, delusional freaks, drains on society, thugs and/or presumably illegal immigrants, dangerous maniacs. Labels applied intensely and wrongly to people I love. Labels that get people locked in prison or mental institutions, labels that get people put in care homes, labels that categorize people as outsiders who need to be removed from the public eye - peacefully or not.

This is, quite frankly, a fucking disaster. And I'm having trouble keeping my head up, keeping my cool in public, keeping myself from wanting to give up.

Fuck Trump and fuck MAGA.

Goddammit




I wonder how well illegal immigration works as an exit strategy

That is, free to DMFA/PF/EN fans

Yeah they'll be on the on the same lineart as all my female adopts, but there's still variety in species. You can check here to find a list of available species in order to make specific requests.

If anyone wants two, that's fine! But that's also the limit.

You can leave instructions as vague or as distinct as you please. If you want to see me roll up a dicey design and pick her wings by myself, that's cool! If you want her colors and wings to be very specific, that's cool too! And I'll put her in any clan you like (or if you're undecided, I can just leave out the clan symbol entirely)

(also sorry Renard I promise I'm still working on Ra'ad and Valero, I'm just being picky and grumpy about detail work)

Today we celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. Life has been crazy in many ways, but hey, so have I 😉


lifelessbody and I have known each other since 1998 - when we met, I was thirteen, and he had just turned fifteen. And for so many years, neither of us could predict that we'd end up as a couple at all, never mind getting married. But as time went on we got closer, until finally we decided to date, a long-distance relationship that culminated in my leaving New England and moving to Louisiana. And through these years he has meant so much to me - a best friend, a guardian, a source of stability, and an absolute nerd 😂


Love you, sweetie. Here's to many more tens of years.

Hubby and I are celebrating ten years of marriage later in the month!

We are also shit broke, hubby from covering anniversary expenses and all the big household bills, and me from being honestly just shit with money on top of my own bills. My credit card is about $200 away from its limit and my next couple of paychecks are going entirely to paying it off, leaving me with less than nothing to contribute to our anniversary or pretty much anything for a couple of months.

As always, I'd like to ask people to check out my adoptables before I ask for flat up donations, so please click this link here to see what's available. Mostly anthro & MLP, but also a few Animal Crossing donkey designs, and a couple of miscellaneous others.

And for those of you who can't purchase anything, even just spreading the word would be appreciated.

And if anyone would like to donate, my paypal is cassidypeterson[at]yahoo.com

Thanks everyone ^^;;;

"Sorta" because I've been very unmotivated to create at all for some time now lol, but I'd still appreciate some ideas for when I do get back to doodling.

Are there any EN characters you want to see more of, or undrawn* characters you'd like me to introduce? Character interactions, specific outfits, cool poses? Would you like me to design / collaborate on a new EN Cubi just for you? Let me know!


* https://sta.sh/21b74t176zfa

My credit card is still OVER 9000!!! but I want to order so many commissions lol

Mostly of Endless Nonsense characters of course, but also a couple of pix for hubby, of his characters from the RP we've had going on since forever, maybe a few of my characters from said RP, particularly my human Dora who is composed entirely of tits and hips hahaha - sooo far from my own ideal body type but absolutely necessary for her lol

My credit card debt has recently jumped to over $10,000. That's almost as much as I earn in a year. I dump almost my entire paycheck into it every time I get paid, but I'm still constantly going up. A big portion of this is that I'm a compulsive shopper, and a big part of that is that I go out to eat too often. I know this is primarily my fault. But lately I've been having troubles and issues that have cost more than just a meal... my car needed fixing, I had to pay a citation from the city police, and so on. The compulsive shopping I've got mostly under control, and the compulsive eating out is something I'm working on, but the debt is just looming over everything I do.

I need help. I can't ask my family for various reasons, including one set of parents not having enough to help and another set of parents already helping with major household bills (including the mortgage). I can't post on Facebook or Twitter because I have almost my entire family friended on FB and my stepdad follows me on Twitter. I have a post about it on tumblr, but it's not getting any attention.

So I'm asking here, because I've gotten help here before. Buy some of my adopts from dA here, or paypal money directly to cassidypeterson[@]yahoo[.]com (which is also where I take payment for adopts).

And even if you can't give me any money yourself, just sharing a link back to this journal would be appreciated.

Thank you for reading.

Y'know those occasional threads/conversations about "if you were a Gym Leader, what type would you be?"

Scarlet has enough different bird-type Pokemon that I was able to put together a full Flying-type team, and I am loving it! (except maybe the weakness to Electric and Ice lol)

But yeah, as the title of the journal implies, I'm looking for artists to draw members of my team for me. One artist per Pokemon, as I'm depending on their kindness to draw for me at all (THAT INCLUDES YOU MERLIN, ONLY ONE - ALSO ONLY IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT AND IF YOU DON'T THAT'S COOL, I DON'T WANNA PRESSURE YOU)

The Pokemon I am looking for are:

Honchkrow
Kilowattrel
Flamigo
Pelipper
Talonflame - elijahtrevelyan/dA
Corviknight - ProfesseurRenard
I'll add artist names as they take a slot so others will know what has or hasn't been claimed yet


Some details:

I intend on posting each picture to my dA, FA, and tumblr
Once all six are complete, I intend to make a collage of them to upload to dA, FA, and tumblr
I will be crediting and pointing back to each artist unless specifically asked not to
If the artist uploads their contribution to any sites I will link to their submission rather than upload it myself

For a previous team drawing, you can look here (this is why Merlin is forbidden from doing the whole team - they've already done that)

Hey everyone! I am once again asking for help with money, because once again things are in disaster mode. Thanks to me getting a new phone and several bills being higher than usual in Jan/Feb, my credit card debt is now close to $9000 USD.

I'm not asking y'all to pay the whole thing for me - that'd be irresponsible, greedy, and selfish - but if anyone would like to throw a few dollars my way, I'd appreciate it greatly. I'm aiming for $500 by the end of March,

I'm selling adopts over on deviantArt (here), most of which are $5-7, featuring primarily MLP or anthro designs. Some of the MLP ones come with premade personalities, though of course the adopter is welcome to do as they please once the adoption is complete.

I recently got myself a ko-fi account to make things a little easier? Question mark? I'm unfamiliar with the whole process as I've never used ko-fi on either end of a transaction, so I'm hoping I've set it up properly lol.

Ko-fi: 84cassi
PayPal: cassidypeterson[@]yahoo[.]com

84cassi 🙂

I'm pretty sure I set it up properly... preeetty sure...

I hereby demand that all y'all producing art reliably surrender some of your motivation to me. Demand it. Now. Gimme.

An artist I watch (and was ordering a series of commissions from) on dA left a while back, citing the need for a proper income.

"A while back," in this case, being ten years.

HE CAME BACK.

Mine was pretty quiet. We went to my mother-in-law's house for Christmas eve lunch, it was delicious (ham and potatoes and stuffing and... something lol). We opened all our presents because we are grown adults who are allowed to decide when it's time for presents. I got some long sleeved shirts and a VERY SOFT AND COZY long sleeved turtleneck. There was lots of chocolate, which I'm trying not to binge because low-sugar diet. We got various $50 giftcards from my parents, and a $100 one to split. One was for Walmart, which I spent most of, and another was for Olive Garden which we have yet to spend, haven't had the opportunity. I owe hubby a nice dinner, so I wanna use that and my half of the $100 card to treat him so it doesn't actually come out of my pockets.

Uhhh...

Yeah that's about it lol

Christmas is only a few days away and so far I've only completed one-third of a single drawing out of everything I wanted to gift to various artists this year. I know there's no shame in missing a deadline on a completely voluntary project (like how my comic for tapewolf is approximately twelve years overdue lol kill me) but I just... idk, I've just got this lack of motivation that intrudes on things I want to do or even need to do. Bluh.

idk I'm just whining hahaha

Eyyy turnin' 39 in December which means I'll be fuckin' FORTY next year! Woo! I'm old enough to be too old for things! Like remembering what the Switch is called - I keep calling it a DS or even a GameBoy lol. Losin' them brain cells.

I WOULD LIKE:

More people to adopt available EN Cubi https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10569988

More people to create their own EN Cubi! (Excluding clan Premi, and take care with clans Shawnee and Ambrosia as they're both some centuries into the future)

To sell some adopts https://www.deviantart.com/cassidyp.....7/adopty-dopts (I can take payment through PayPal directly if someone doesn't have a dA account to buy through)

Straight-up donations my life is a disaster and I'm drowning in debt =^_^= (seriously tho I'd prefer you buy something rather than just throw money at me - overpay me for an adopt, or pay for one of the free adopts, something like that)

And of course doodles, as i doodle on as well. I'll try to get some gift art done for the Christmas season but we'll see how hard the Attention Deficit hits

Ambrose in his natural colors shaving his head https://www.deviantart.com/cassidyp.....lors-447086280

Premi sitting in Shawnee's lap (Premi is small-sized and Shawnee is average size)

My Valero and Renard's Ra'ad having a hug https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50161158/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29770548/ (Ra'ad's markings are a bit of a mix between Nalia and Sanst)

Elsis vs Fahgi

So I'm going pretty slow on Kelly, I'm-a try to get her done before October ends, but I make no promises. I just can't get myself to focus on the lines for more than a couple minutes at a time. Once the lines are done, tho, I should have no issue coloring... since I rarely do more than flat colors anyway XD

I also have a couple unrelated ideas floating around in my head for Pokemon fakemon. Ice-type bears named Decembrr and Decembear :B Yeah I know there's already a bunch of bears and even already ice-type bears but it popped into my head and must be done. Decembrr is a cub that steals clothing and hats, and Decembear is uhhh just an evolved Decembrr lol. I want to make them dual-type but can't decide what I want the second type to be.

Looking for suggestions from Endless Nonsense, Project Future et al, or DMFA, as well as OCs by merlin-the-bruce, fluffytailarts, or puyon. Pokemon or My Little Pony requests also acceptable, but they will be low priority.

Please provide links for OCs! Thank you!

I don't expect to draw every day, much less produce a finished picture every day, but I want to try. I may try to harass hubby into at least doing a few scribbles, too.

Most of what I do draw is likely to be either gift art, or Endless Nonsense characters who haven't had their moment yet.

I want to do so much with EN right now that I'm starting to just get overwhelmed and stressed out about it. I'm guessing this is just a minor but lingering manic episode, but I want to do so much and ask other people to do so much and commission artists to do so much and I just... ugh

idk

Proud of what I did with Pharaoh! I need to do more like that. Good art. Detailed stories. But I feel like that's not gonna happen again for a while, even though I already have plans for short term accomplishments.

https://www.tumblr.com/just-endless-nonsense

It's still in the setup phase, but I've queued up a post for each of my Clan Leaders, plus Ke's daughters (my art and Renard's)

I don't know how many of my followers here are even on tumblr, but I've got OCD

I am in the process of updating everyone's profiles with their birthdates. If you're interested in pairing any of your characters up with an EN Cubi romantically, you can check here for a more complete list of character ages, though several are missing as they were spawned after I became overwhelmed by keeping the timeline accurate lol. As always, I'm more than thrilled if you want to create an EN-friendly character or adopt an existing one.

I was gonna make a loud journal about how more people need to make their Cubi date my Cubi but then I realized that only my Clan Leaders and Valero have defined ages, and Valero is already in a relationship lol

So I guess giving my Cubi birthdays is on the schedule

I was highly social

for hours on end

two days in a row

and don't feel drained.

This is amazing! I love it!

I also tried my first cigarette. Didn't like it! lulz

Got distracted at pill time last night and wound up forgetting to take them, so I was up all night and today I am having Symptoms. Slowly improving as I rest and my daytime pills kick in, but it's still been hard to get any actual sleep, especially when my cat has decided that today is Yell At Mama Day lol.

Been reuploading a bunch of my adoptables to deviantArt through their official channel since as a paid member I can do that. Mostly MLP & furry, of course, but I've also got some Animal Crossing adopts too, which I'm just relocating as they're being presented as sheets, not individuals.

Hubby is taking care of his mother's dogs for the weekend, so he's going to be at her house for a couple days. I may or may not join him this evening, depending on how I feel about driving. I should be done with Symptoms by then, but we'll see.

Anyway uhhhhh that's about it. Go adopt or create some Endless Nonsense Cubi like Renard has. He's cool. Don't you want to be cool?
