It's my birthday today! That is all... now i'm back to shiny hunting for Fennekin in ZA xD

I still hate doing this but everything i've been trying is not working out as I hoped and while i'm still trying other stuff such as offering to edit peoples animation works and other things here and there... I still need aid in order to pay off my credit card debt that keeps slowly climbing on me. Since i'm on disability, my income to pay this off is limited and will soon have me dig into my grocery funding as well. I would be infinitely grateful for any aid you can provide

It's EXACTLY what it sounds like... I got a bunch of uploads incoming that I forgot to post for one reason or another. So sorry about this but it will be worth it, I swear >w<

Hello everyone, it's been a bit since I posted updates about my channel but I need to bring something up to everyone's attention!

Apparently not all of my videos show up anymore if you happen to be on restricted mode. Only 6 of the 17 total uploads actually come up if this is turned on, which includes my Fursuit Unboxing video. I do not know why this is happening but it actively destroys my growth on Youtube. What makes this all worse for me is that now this makes me further question if uploading to Youtube is even worth it anymore since I do put a good amount of effort and even money into the channel that I know eventually will pay off. Hell, part of the reason why i'm in credit card debt is because i'm committing myself to try to make Youtube work for me and make it into a full on career someday. Now though i'm not so sure anymore... really sucks.

Please do yourself a favor and turn restricted mode off in your settings ASAP, cause this is easily killing so many channels. Thanks everyone, and have a good one!

I didn't think I would ever do this but... I could use some help with paying off my credit card debt. I would be grateful for any aid you guys could help with

THANK GOD!! I'm so happy they finally added a way to block tags since it was something I was asking for now for the last couple of years since there's lots of stuff I didn't wanna see on this site and why I mainly went to other sites to look up stuff. Now I can browse in peace~!

Now if only I could link my Bluesky account on here like I can with Youtube and Xitter...

Today is officially my birthday and i'm turning 28 this year! Now if you all excuse me... I got to find my cane haha XD

I am so sorry I didn't get anything this year to celebrate with BUT I do hope you all have a very spoopy Halloween regardless~! ^w^

For those who follow me on Twitter, you might know that the app will likely be banned here in my country of Canada soon due to Twitter changing how their block feature will operate, which goes against the current anti-hate laws here so... i'll be moving my more active postings over to Bluesky instead for the near future.

If you are not following me there already, I would highly recommend you do so for more active updates of everything i'm doing and plan to do in the near future. For those who only follow me on here for art I get, no need to worry about this journal then but still figured you all should know.

I've been behind on posting all the new artwork i've been getting for a while now so i'll be posting them all today to get caught up so... expect a huge art dump XD

A lot of these pieces include pieces for Lee but some are new ones as well so I hope you'll love them :D

As some of you may know, I sold my old Umbreon OC to some people back in the day dude the issue that faced years ago with Nintendo when his Oversexed Eeveelutions comic got struck down. When I saw that, I thought that all Pokemon OC's had a target on their backs but now that i'm seeing that's not a thing and it was a specific case. I talked to to see if I could buy him back but he told me straight up that I can just have him back since he wasn't getting put to use so... once my wifi is up on the 10th, i'll be slowly reuploading all the old art of him that I was able to get back.

Is it all of them? Probably not and some of the pieces unfortunate I don't have a name for the artists but i'll do my best to make sure it's credited asap

Yeah so i'm so far behind on uploads that i'm just gonna upload everything that I haven't already uploaded over the next hour sooooooooo... be prepared for a lot of stuff coming from me that was gifted or that I had commissioned x3

I am not planning to fully switch over to this app but if Musky Boi as i've been calling him makes Twitter any worse... here's my link! Feel free to follow if you wants

In case I didn't tell you guys before, I have a Twitch that I actively try to stream on every week and I would love it if you could join me for Pokemon, Yugioh and soon Destiny streams! ^w^

So far things are not looking good for me. The cheaper place I was looking at, which was in a perfect location for me, has not answered me all weekend and no answer from today when I tried to call so that option seems to be gone. Along with this, i've been more active to try to find someone in our community that would want to bunk with me or something but no answer so far. I'm feeling completely alone on this matter and I don't know what else I can do now.... I'm running out of time and options

I will be updating more on my Twitter post if you wish to know more of what's going on

So, my roommate is moving out at the end of April but here's the problem with that...

The landlord said that he can reduce the rent to 1200 for me being a single tenant at this condo but there's NO WAY I can cover that since I only get 1169 a month for everything I need (rent, food, etc.) from disability, so I will need to get someone else to bunk with me to make things work out or move out which I would rather not do since it would cost money for me to get my ID stuff and that resorted out. I've been already asking around in my general area of Ottawa to see if anyone else from the furry community here would want to bunk with me but so far... i've gotten no answer for a couple of months so my only options is to either just open up the choice to just anyone or move out of here.

I honestly hate this so much and I am low on time before I have to make a choice and well... I REALLY fucking regret the choices I made in 2020 now. I should have just stayed in the small town I was in back in 2019....

So my worker finally got a hold of me after 4 months of silence... "There's unfortunately nothing I can do to help unless you need to be a special diet for medical reasons but here's a number to help find food banks and free tax clinics in your area". What this means is that i'm on my own when it comes to getting enough funding for food each month unless I can get a doctors note to help me get on a special needs diet thing, which I don't need either.

For context, I only get 1169 CAD a month to work with from my disability. My rent, which is everything included, is 975 and my phone is 118.65 a month. This leaves me at only a little over 75 a month for just food and other needs. If I wasn't living with a roommate, I would have most likely not made it even this far since I moved in.

I have autism with PTSD for the mental side of my disability while I overheat and have fractures in my joints for the more physical side of things so I can't work in a normal working environment very easily at all without some kind of harsh punishment towards my health.

Stress levels for me are now at full power... I never should have left the small town I was in before 2020 ;w;

It's coming soon... that is all xD

But no seriously, I want to see if I can hit Affiliate on Twitch before December 16th, which is right on my birthday! Can we make it happen? Honestly, we'll have to see~ ^w^

I've been streaming a fair amount on Twitch lately and i'm close to affiliate. If you wish to help me out there, go check out my channel there and come by when I stream!

I normally stream on Tuesday, Thursdays and the weekends at 1:00pm EST but I do post sometimes when I go live on other times/days that aren't on the normal schedule

As you might know, the Umbreon OC I had for years is now finally for sale! If you're interested in getting him, do hit me up in notes!

I am looking at about 180 CAD for the pricing or best offer but this DOES NOT need to be upfront either. Also this will be Paypal only to keep things simple

Examples of him can be found here as well as in Scraps (NSFW warning)

I am now a marble fox! As you all know, I was an Umbreon before this and have been that way for about 6 years now but I wanted to make a sona that wasn't a Pokemon for once and move forward!! The Umbreon, who is named Lee by the way, will still be around but not used that much. If you wish to see him, all of the artwork of him will be in scraps ^w^

There is a new change that's going live right now! The Umbreon I have was always just named Cody after my real name but that changes today. From this day forward, his name is now Lee! Some of you may also notice that he's no longer in the main gallery well... I moved all his stuff over to scraps since i'm working on a new sona. I will not spoil what it is just yet but i'm sure you guys will love him as much as I do~ ^w^
