Seasonal affective disorder is kicking my ass hard and my motivation and energy to do any sort of art is dead still and it’s been super frustrating.

Status on when and where I’m moving? More confusing than before. Roommate’s mom has some shit going on that’s private and I have no right to tell other people about but it’s seeming like IF a move ends up necessary, it won’t be until the middle of winter or probably after winter. Whatever the case, I am still preparing and saving up money because regardless of how things go, I’m gonna need the money to not only get through the winter with no work available with my seasonal job, but to potentially help with other bills and such as well.

Work stress and being sick have been really fucking me up. I’ve been struggling with motivation and energy to do art and the few times I have it I’m either feeling too sick or am too tired from work to do anything. A lot of my time has been spend playing chill games to try to recuperate some energy. Not been much progress in that thanks to being sick presently.

I’m hoping to try to work on one or both commissions I still owe sometime this week, but I’m not super sure how that’ll go.

Status on when and where I’m moving to is still supremely unknown because the main person that decision depends on can’t give a solid answer beyond “you probably won’t have to” which…. is unhelpful. Still preparing for a move either way because better to have the money prepped for it than have nothing and very suddenly need to go.

Spending some time with friends today, rested a bit yesterday, and then tomorrow through Sunday I’ve got work. Birthday is the 21st which is…. insane. Idk what I even want for my birthday lol.

I think that’s about it for updates. I’d like to stream again soon but idk if I have the time for it much right now.

with my health issues and living situation, my roommates mom is, understandably, not willing or able to support them AAAND me, so I need to do a long drive from CA to PA before winter. I’ll need money for gas, food, mailing my belongings, potential car emergencies, and possibly hotel stays. It’s… gonna be really rough, but, this seems to be inevitable, so better to start raising as soon as I can.

I have a ko-fi goal set for this but as usual I have adoptables and commissions available as well

Edit: KEY FUNDRAISER CANCELLED I FOUND THEM IN THE STUPID TRASH FOR SOME REASON IDK HOW THE FUCK THEY GOT THERE OR WHO PUT THEM THERE

Hey uhhhhh I lost my keys? You know. My home, car, and mailbox keys???? And I Do NOT have the money for a locksmith on top of rent and bills

Between the travel distance, and the potential for multiple replacement keys, it’s gonna be a couple hundred dollars based on what I just searched ha ha so uh. I could super super SUPER use the help this is kind of supremely urgent

Hey guys uhhh…. I’ve been sick for about three and a half weeks and on top of that have like, no work whatsoever this month. Im unsure how much unemployment will give me or IF they’ll give me anything but I desperately need money for food, gas, rent and bills, and a potential vet visit again for my cat who’s been showing signs of having urinary health problems again…. its… all super frustrating and upsetting and I’m trying not to spiral too bad about it ha ha.

I have a lot of adoptables for sale still and can probably take a few commissions as well. Donations are also super super appreciated.

Anyone watching me and/or in my discord server who shares this journal will get a free randomized chibi adopt that I still have available. A free chibi adopt of your choice if you also buy either buy an adoptable, commission me, or donate at least $5.

Hey, I’ve been really sick for a week or more now so I apologize for any delays or slow replies to anything. I’m coughing a lot, struggling to breathe, and have a fever that constantly comes and goes and it makes sleeping very very difficult so.

I kinda nap on and off to get whatever sleep I can when I can. I’m not ignoring anyone I promise! I’m just feeling really shitty and the soonest a doctor can see me is Tuesday

I’ll reply to people when I’m able to. It may take me a while, but I promise I will reply

Disclaimer: I know what today is and I fucking hate April fools day so this has nothing to do with it and would be fucked of me to joke about anyway

That being said, a few people I watch here have recently lost someone very dear to them. Their brother. And while I wasn’t close with any of them or their brother, I have talked with one or two of them at least for a little bit and witnessing these updates has been deeply saddening. I can’t even begin to imagine how they feel.

That being said, they have a gofundme for funeral funds. Details on that can be found in this journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11103403/

Hi everyone! As per my last journal (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11094269/) I am in a really bad bind financially and while I don’t really have the time to accept more art commissions right now, I do still have a lot of adoptables! So!

I discounted a loooot of my older ones! All my discounted adoptables are labeled as such and range from anywhere between $5 to $15 USD! Please consider checking them out and helping me! They’ll be at the very bottom of the rest of my open adoptables here:

So. Car battery died a few days ago because of a winter storm. Jump started it earlier today and it was working fine even for a short test drive, but some hours later and it’s dead again. Talked to a friend that works with cars for a living and she said it could be the battery OR the alternator so. lol. lmao.

Between this and car insurance and rent and bills I’m trying to raise money again so that I can actually, you know, get to work and dr appointments and grocery shopping ahaha.
Please please share or donate if you’re able.

Important updates will be in comments from me.

Goal: $1300
Raised: $373

Took me long enough bc I was super unsure about it but I asked for feedback on if people would like me to have a bluesky and the response was an overwhelming yes so!! I have one now!

It’ll take me a while to get it set up but if you have one and would like to follow me, here is the link

Shit keeps happening and it’s dumb and stupid and yet, and fucking yet, I feel like I’m about to drop everything and everyone and just give up entirely forever about it

I’m trying to reason w myself about things but it really just feels like one thing after the other and I’m tired. I’m so tired

[this is no longer needed so please ignore if you see it idk]

It’s been…. A long fucking month to say the very least

Strong winds knocking power out where I live for practically half the month, seasonal job still not active yet, three neighbors losing their homes to a tree falling on their trailers, one of them losing one of their dogs to that, my own cat getting sick, it’s….

I’m exhausted. Things have been rough, and I’m in desperate need of financial help for rent which I am $400 under for and the vet bill which I owe about $390 for still
And rent is due the 5th with a late fee per each day I’m late paying it

I can’t do art commissions as I still have 2 big ones I owe, but I have a ton of adoptables and am willing to do custom adopts as well, as always. I am also accepting donations to anyone able and willing to help

I really need the help. I have necessities I need to buy still for me and my roommate still and I’m trying not to until I can tend to rent. Keeping a roof over our heads is the biggest necessity.

Anyone who shares my journal and shows proof of it will be entered in a raffle to win 2 chibi adopts from this

As a heads up!

I won’t be able to stream or do any art likely from November 6th-16th because I will be traveling to go visit family for a bit and won’t have access to all my things.

Letting everyone know now so when the time comes I don’t entirely forget to mention it and make people worry that I died or something LOL
…..Not that I’ve been motivated to draw or make new adoptables recently anyway but the point still stand that I’ll be EXTRA inactive

I’m holding a sale on ALL my adoptables until November 4th 2024!

25% off of all of them!

Find more details and links directly to my adoptable folders here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58202157/

And recently have been starting back up as regularly as I can! I reached associate on twitch recently which means I’m planning on emotes and sub badges and all that fun stuff! It’s another way for me to make at least a little side money while having fun and in a bit of a No Motivation Zone with my art and adoptables

I’m even planning to stream today in 2-3 hours!

I stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/vvdragabondvv

And try to upload all my streams to YouTube here: https://youtube.com/@vdragabondv?si.....8eMmaqEmZaajMn

So if you’re wanting to see some stuff from me while I’m struggling with art and adoptables, come to by one of these places!

EDIT: all slots filled! No more commissions available

I rlly need an excuse to draw SOMETHING again bc trying to just draw for myself has not been working out well. I also need money for rent and bills pretty badly right now. I can do simple character refs, human, anthro/furry, and robots!

Heads up that my work may be slow due to work and health issues!

In case there’s multiple people interested I’m reserving 3 slots to avoid overworking and burning out!

1: CLOSED
2: CLOSED
3: CLOSED

I’m in a bit of a financial bind again and could use some help! Here’s a link to the details about the sale, it’s for adoptables only!

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10846795/

I’m also open to donations if anyone’s willing and able to do so! Rent and bills are due before my next paycheck comes in, and I need gas money. Any little bit is appreciated. Thank you so much

Hi! Thanks to me injuring my ankle pretty badly and having to see a doctor about it, PLUS gas money and tax returns pulling money out of my bank finally, I’ve just about lost $300+ total today so I’m holding a sale on my adoptables!

All adoptables will be 25% off the original price until the end of April! Members of my discord get a total of 40% off of them!

If you want to join my discord for the bonus discount, send me a note and ask me about it! The only rule is that you can’t leave immediately after getting the discount. Pretty self explanatory reason for that, I hope.

This artist is hosting a free art raffle! Check them out! They’ve got some real neat stuff and their art style is real cute too!
