Hey everyone, I appreciate you taking your time to look at one of probably loads of 'life update' journals, I'll keep this one brief for you!

Early in July I went on vacation from work, but sadly during that time one of our dogs started having a lot of seizures (she's fine now, we just got lazy with her medicine and it cost us all a lot of stress) and then my parents went out of state for their vacation... and shortly before I had to go back to work they had major vehicle problems (they're fine now, too) and well... because of all that I called in that I couldn't go to work... and to skip ahead that put me over the point limit for attendance and I got fired a week and a half ago, so I'm unemployed again... but it's a good thing because I'm out of that trap now and I was able to sit down and work on a project I've brainstormed for a while now!

A heavily modified Skyrim playthrough, recorded and uploaded to youtube... yep something dumb, perfect for me! :P
I've just finished editing episode 1 of it and have a little episode 0 uploaded to my youtube that sets up a story for it, please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think, it's all very basic so far because I'm only an amateur with the bare minimum of requirements to do this stuff.

the video is right here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=159dqD2dxYM





TL;DR - Stuff happened that lead to me losing my job, but it's okay because now I can work on youtube/streaming things off and on!

Gosh, I am just THE worst at well... everything, but I digress!

So yeah... been quite a while since my last upload, and even longer since my last journal update... didn't even give a birthday one! (which is in March, and I'm 31 now btw... so old Q.Q) Part of that is I finally was able to rein in some of my impulsive YCH buying.... SOME, but I have been getting the odd piece here and there, maybe you've seen stuff with me (or my characters) in it 'recently' so maybe you've noticed I DO exist in places!

Anyway work's been a pain pretty much this whole year (like usual tbh) and I've not been in the mood to ever upload my stuff, but I'll be doing a batch, so if you see the journal first, flood inbound, and if you see it second... oops?

ALSO! I've started to (try to) Stream games after work on days it doesn't melt me from heat and exhaustion... maybe check the few I've done out? They're mostly test streams

Pride month is nearly over, but I feel like I should give a couple of my characters' orientations and all that real quick, just for some trivia (also throwing myself in there, if y'all are curious about it)

Heth Drakiel (owner/player/person... i.e. ME) - cis male, mostly asexual towards humans, but pansexual for anthros

Heth Drakiel (character) - genderfluid, pansexual, polyamorous, typically referred to with he/him, but answers to whatever 'makes sense' for the form https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....he-Many-Formed

Krystal Darkgale-Drakiel (collie hybrid)- Feminine hermaphrodite, bisexual with female preference, she/her (gets a bit irritated if there's hesitation about it as she very much presents as female) https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....llie-Hybrid-FH

Tifana Drakiel (Dragon) - Cis Female, mostly hetero (VERY few select females get her attention), she/her "OR ELSE" (her words) https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....ther-General-F

J'reth ('dracomantis' aka Scyther) - Mostly cis male (sometimes wonders what it'd be like 'on the other side'), pansexual, he/him https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....-Scyther-Boi-M

Aravena Aurumane (bat) - cis female, bisexual (male preference), she/her https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....ble-Huntress-F

Rose (absol) -Female, bisexual, she/her... however Rose is 'dead' in the current day as the state of the world, being catcalled, and being an Absol... She then cast off that identity and got some surgery thus transitioning into
Pandora - demigirl, bisexual but too grumpy usually to feel desire, She/They... for some people she may accept being called 'Rose' still, but for 95+ percent... She'll deck them https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....andora-Absol-F




I think that'll do for now, most of the others are yet to be determined! Stay safe out there!

SO I felt like I should give peeps a bit of an update on my life... it's mostly good news! I paid off my car so I no longer have THAT debt over my head, and I'm mostly done with credit payments so I'm ALMOST debt-free!

In addition work finally did something about all the mandatory overtime so I'm no longer getting hit 60-hours a week every week like I was for summer (if not every week then like 3 out of 4 per month)

Less important, I'll be having 2 weeks off of work starting the 2nd of December so I can play FF14 Endwalker Day 1 =3

In the mean time, hope you all had/have a good holiday!


ALSO!! I went through and uploaded full-res versions of my refs, so if some of them look slightly different that'd be why

So... I tend to upload in batches thanks to my job keeping me quite busy.... but lately it's keeping me TOO busy... I have been having to work 60 hour work weeks every week for the last two and a half months! In a factory, 12 hour shifts, temperatures easily being 90+ Fahrenheit and 50%+ humidity... I have been literally sick and tired thanks to it all... but soon.... soon I can be free... I just need to settle about $5500 in debts... and with these 120 hour paychecks it'll be before the end of the year... ideally within just a couple months...

That said... it's vore day! One of my favourite, if not THE favourite, fetishes around... so if any of y'all wanna get up inside me... feel free to, I believe all my holes are available~
(note: I have to work so please understand I probably won't be able to ACTUALLY respond to everyone who takes me up on that offer, if any do)

Right, this was a thing I was wanting to do for a while, but kept forgetting and not having the motivation to do (thanks work for making me work 60 hour weeks every week)... As the title says these are some of my predictions for E3, and a couple hopes, in no particular order:

-New Smash Brothers character, most likely from a new IP in the series
-Zelda 35th anniversary celebration, with possibly a "Zelda All-Stars" game
-Final Fantasy 7 Remake game 2 announcement
-Confirmation or Denial of "Switch Pro"
-Breath of the Wild 2 release date
-New Kingdom Hearts game, or one tied to it, if not called KH
-More info on Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker, even though the Fan Festival was last month
Honorable Mention: Dragon Quest 35th anniversary celebration, since I originally predicted that before I found out they already did it! (Super Hype for the DQ3 remake btw, love that game so much)

and I'll close it off with my hope, a big one.... Golden Sun 20th anniversary celebration, either a new GS game, a remake of the GBA game(s), or a playable rep in SSBU (PLEASE NINTENDO! GIVE US GOLDEN SUN THINGS!!)

Is Birthday time! Big 30 now, want to celebrate in a big way, but not entirely sure how... Was thinking of streaming some games from my childhood and maybe talk a bit about my life, boring though it may be... If I decide to do so I'll whip up a quick little image to post about it

So I have a twitter (two technically, one SFW and one NSFW, the NSFW one is linked on my page) but I hate social media overall and seldom use it... found out someone was using a few images of horse Heth as if she was THEIR 'sona... I'm not going to name drop (for now), because that's not my style... but yeah.... lucky me, I can join the 'stolen character/art club'... I finally responded and requested they stop doing so, so we'll see if that pans out... and if not I'll start reporting their stuff

Merry Christmas to all! Only one week left in this awful year... speaking of year... I mentioned last month how I MAY have gotten screwed out of my job... well it took them so long to get their stuff sorted out that my points have gone down again, so I'm actually safe from getting fired for attendance! I do still have a second job I'm working, which its paychecks will be dedicated to paying off my car, but once I do that... I dunno I may quit my main job since it's just a massive drain on me mentally and physically, then with the extra free time start working on getting my health sorted out (losing weight and all that)

Anyway, yeah there's my current status, once again Merry Christmas to all!

So... I'm essentially a dead man walking in terms of my current job, either I misread the most recent overtime schedule OR it got changed on me after I read it... because I THOUGHT I was supposed to work today, (Nov 8th) BUT apparently I was ACTUALLY supposed to work yesterday (the 7th)

Now WHY that is a fuck-up... and a small rant:

My job has/had a terrible attendance policy... now the way scheduling worked is as follows... 12 hour shifts, broken up into chunks across a two week period, translating into 7 days of work in two weeks... NOW barring overtime scheduling that means there's roughly 182 days in a year we have to work... realistically you get hit for overtime about once every three weeks, so for ease of math we'll round up and say 200 days in the year of sheduled work... NOW we can only miss EIGHT days in a one-year stretch... that's not 8 days per year, that's 8 days in a 365 day timeframe! So... if we assume 0 'points' at the start of the year and are scheduled for 200 days of work... on that 8th point you get fired... so to break the math down... 8/200 = 4/100 = 1/25.... so you see, missing basically ONE DAY A MONTH (and a half) gets you fired... 8/200 is ALSO 4%.... so at a 96% attendence rate.... you get fired.... how absolute BULLSHIT is that?!

now then... as one can probably assume, I hit my 8th point just now... because either someone changed the schedule on me, or I misread something that's written in like 8pt font... EITHER WAY... I'm essentially now unemployed so... unfortunately after I finally get a backlog uploaded I'm going to have to get no more art

Sorry to everyone for giving even more bad news in an already shitty year, even though THIS news is much more minor than other news...

Also if you'd be so kind as to help... follow me on my twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/hethdrakiel
unless a miracle happens I'm going to have plenty of stream time now

PAST TENSE FOR A REASON!

but yeah... I gave it a go, my twitch is now linked on my FA (or is here https://www.twitch.tv/hethdrakiel )
my schedule unfortunately is going to be as consistent as my work schedule... in other words NOT AT ALL

but I'll attempt to stream at least one hour after work every day I DO work, which would put the timeframe of the streams as roughly 8AM CST through to about 9AM CST... if I didn't have to sleep I'd do longer ones, but...

Q1) I'll be hitting a milestone birthday this coming year in March (the big 30)... I kinda wanted to do a little video series about my life through gaming... basically I'd record a video of a game (or two) from certain points in my life and talk about various memories associated with that time... would anyone be interested in seeing that sort of thing from a novice?

Q2) I'm quite dissatisfied with my job, various circumstances I'd rather not get into, I need to settle some debts before looking elsewhere and hope to get some supplemental income... on top of being something I want to do for fun, would people be interested in watching some gaming streams, namely a couple hours after work each day? Probably minimal talking from fatigue, and would be short little things like Randomizers or maybe Rougelite runs (Estimated schedule would be roughly 8AM to 10AM [Central Standard/Daylight Time, GMT -6/5] on work days, probably longer on days off, plus random other times)

Q3) I've felt a desire to make an RPG Maker game recently, give me a bit of a project to focus on when not working instead of vegging out and watching youtube and the like... would people want to see what sorts of things I would create? I've got plenty of characters and the like so the possibilities are limited only by the engine and my skill within it



Feel free to say whatever you will in response to these, I just wanted to get them out there, as I'll probably do some of them regardless of input

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this day... April 1st... everyone does the same, old, overdone 'jokes'.... it's not funny, so yeah... expect to hear about 50 celebrity deaths, see all these "public releases" that are just a "LOL GOTTEM" image or something.... I'll be sleeping all day today and just pass this day over

Yay, I have now added 1 to my age number, one more and I hit that milestone of 30! Shame the state of things is so poor



Oh also I have a Twitter I'm actually okay with using for this stuff now, I had one before, but with RL family following.... they may know I'm part of the fandom, but I'd rather they not see the specifcs y'know?

This is going to be a bit of a rambling thing, so heads up!

Let's start things off with a massively belated, tangentially Thanksgiving thing... Thank you all who have watched me and/or favourited my uploads, please remember to check out the artists who have done the actual work on them, I (think I) always try to state who did the work in the title and link their pages in the descriptions. I'm grateful for it all even if I don't say it or respond to the comments. And more tangential Thanksgiving stuff, I'm truly thankful to my mom, who's persistence a couple years ago finally got it through to HR at my place of employment that I'm a worthwhile hire, without her (and my dad for the two of them allowing me to freeload until I got a stable job, temp services kinda suck like that) I wouldn't have been able to get a new car and a place to live.... also all the art I've gotten, and characters I've adopted!

Next I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and uhh... any other holidays I've forgotten because I'm an ignorant hick ^.^; "Happy Holidays!" covers it all! Be safe on the roads, as many people will be driving crazy to get to distant family members for their gatherings! Always remember this is THE time of year to spread positivity, I mean sure technically it should be a year-round thing, but hey! That's not always an option, so at least double down on kindness and charity!

And finally let's move on forward to 2020 and hope that maybe this will be the year we actually go through with our New Year's Resolutions! Mine will be to get art of my actual OCs instead of relying on adopts all the time (I regret none of them to clarify, I just have many, MANY OCs who need love too) To start with I need to get some actual stuff done for my Fursona, and namesake, Heth Drakiel! Stuff will be coming soon™ with him in it, I promise!

Farewell to you all, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidsasy, and Have a wonderful end to 2019!
