Jyoo C Thoughts 34: Charity
General | Posted 8 years agoHey guys! A friend of me has asked for a signal boost. They're doing a charity for domestic violence and doing a reading of a Markiplier fanfic to help generate activity for the cause. If it sounds like something you'd like to support please click here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23h.....KNCk&t=40s
Jyoo C Thoughts 33: Bridge
General | Posted 9 years agohttp://theapprentice225.deviantart.com/ Here you guys go! This is me over on DeviantArt! Please enjoy my content there at your earliest chance! Hopefully there's something over there you guys will like. I'll be commencing the art dump over there some time tomorrow so long as my health holds out. I'm feeling pretty rough still but I'm keeping on! Full steam ahead!!
Jyoo C Thoughts 32: Unifier
General | Posted 9 years ago There's a cruel irony in being someone who dresses up as a dog man and now sick as one. YEP, I'm sick again folks. My head is a horrible faucet of funk, my throat is all scratchy, and my strength has taken a week of leave which sucks because there for awhile I was doing pretty good on my workouts and getting some really nice results! BUT, if my choice of car has taught you anything it's that I am a remarkably stubborn and determined cuss so I'm moving along with something I've been mulling over for awhile now.
On Tuesday, in about two days, I will be making my return to my DeviantArt Account!!! Before I scare anyone, no I'm not leaving FA. I absolutely love and adore the furry fandom and I'm happy with the name I'm making for myself in this big fuzzy family. But before I had ever even heard of Fur Affinity, I was an avid user of DeviantArt and I feel a certain desire to keep that old horse running. With everything I have over there I don't want to, and never did want to abandon it. But issues over there saw that for about two years I lost my desire to be active over there. I started out writing (now in my standards) very poor Halo fanfics that, over time, began to get better and bring me an audience. I began to expand my interests and uploaded pictures of my Doctor Who OC, dabbled in the Zim Fandom, and continued to spread my fanfic interest until I had a lot of people following me and interested in my work. It wasn't very good, but hey we all start somewhere. Then, I began to upload my original Sci Fi content once I had enough people behind me encouraging me to do so and I feel like I hit my stride over there. So for that reason, I'm going to start uploading stuff there too. My plan is, for Tuesday, to batch upload a lot of my Infinity Quest content there (both new and old as I've been working on it coming up on 13 years!) And copy my FA Gallery Over there too. Once that's sorted out I'm going to link my DeviantArt back here and let my two worlds meet and hopefully generate some forward momentum with my presence online as I march forward to the hopeful April completion of my novel. I'm going to keep FA for my more modern pictures and as a timeline of my growth as an artist while DA is going to house old works and new. I'm going to let it hold my old content publicly so I can look to that stuff and tackle it later as well as share how far I've come, my ideas over the years, and more of what I've created and how I've developed as a person with all of you wonderful people willing to give me the time of day!
While being sick has slown me down, it's not stopped me yet. And God willing I'm going to throw myself at this with all I've got tomorrow to finish up some art for the dump of my Original Series from over there and then upload a journal here leading over there. Then on Tuesday I'm going to unleash the floodgate on DA and upload a batch of stuff then link them over here! As for Infinity Quest, I will upload and showcase my newer works here while DeviantArt will get the looks at my old designs and ideas as they evolve as well as the new stuff. My First Infinity Quest related upload to FA will be my first project after this batch upload and will feature one of my species as well as a cross over with an amazing and talented artist, writer, and all around swell person
Valsalia So be on the lookout for that!!
Alright I think that's about all I wanted to talk about and give you guys the heads up on. Aside from that I'm just working on trying to keep up a head of steam and meet up my obligations irl like at work and getting over this cold while dealing with a blown up TV, a dead phone, and my car Cassandra which all of you have been so great and supportive over! lol so I guess before I end this and crash for the night with a bottle of Airborne and a box of tissues I'll give everyone whose interested a....
CASSANDRA'S CONDITION UPDATE!!!!
I've not yet been able to tackle the rust and there's no major pictures or anything worth uploading. I'm working on filming the first episode of my repair of her, but such things take time to edit and gather enough footage for. I've gotten all three of her pulley wheels at the front of her engine block to freely spin, I've dug a trench under her so I can slide under to work, and I've cleared up the foggy plastic on her instrument panel. We drilled out her trunk lock today, my dad and I, looking to open the trunk to remove the lid to begin combating the rust and finally knowing the condition of the last part of her that we've not been able to see. UNFORTUNATELY, despite drilling the lock out, the latch refuses to surrender and still has quite the fight left in it. I'm going to see what I can do tomorrow on my tight timeframe. But again, my head it a horrible leaking factory of sick soup. Also the metal in one spot seems to be separating from the frame. I'll be unable to tell if the trunk lid is salvageable or if it will need to be replaced until I get that open. However, I will continue to soldier on! I'm not so easily dissuaded and everything thus far has been going together rather great!
I'm going to go lay down now guys and gals. My eye is leaking, my nose is on fire and itches inside, and my throat is tickly and weird and I don't much care for it. I appreciate the fact that anyone would want to keep up with my art, I'm honored by your support in my art and my repair work on my car, and I'm humbled by every ounce of your friendship in my life. I love you all so much and thank you for helping me eek out my little blip on the radar. You all mean a lot to me. So thank you, thank you all so much.

Jyoo C Thoughts 31: Signal Boost for my Niece
General | Posted 9 years agoHey guys! Just wanted to give my Niece a signal boost because she's taking commissions! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8038715/ If you want your character chibi or as a little bab for some backstory or just for cute fun she's the one to go to!
Jyoo C Thoughts 30: Unbridled Joy to bring in the New Year
General | Posted 9 years ago I'm not normally one to build myself up into a frenzy, but I'm I'm about to explode!!! I've got to admit I'm riding pretty high right now after today! After years of pursuing and looking, and talking, and saving, and getting schedules to match I've finally realized a dream of mine ever since I first laid eyes on her. For any of you who watch my Youtube Channel you know there's an old 1966 Impala that I call Cassandra that I've been borderline obsessed over ever since we first moved to this house. Well today I triumphantly walked back down the hill where she's parked as I've done many times before; title in hand. The joy I'm feeling right now is so unreal that I'm worried I'm going to wake up any moment to realize it's been a dream. This is my first car and she's been neglected for a long time, but that's alright by me because nothing worth doing is ever easy!! Now comes the part where I get to put my money where my mouth is! I've succeeded in my fight to earn the chance to repair her, now I intend to use it and see what I can do!!
And that's what these new years resolutions are about, finding new limits and pushing yourself to be the best you that you can be! Now I don't want to be overly dramatic and be here like "AMG U GUISE I'MMA CRY <'D" but I am grinning pretty big right now! To have this moment as a part of my life is something I'll cherish forever! And it reminds me of the future, and the things I want to do, and who I want to be. I want to be the guy who fixes things, who does what he sets out to do, the oncoming storm who crashes against the shores of adversity, and the guy who always reaches higher leaving victory in his wake. I want to be the best me that I can be, not just for myself but for all my friends in my life who look up to me. I can't hope to put into words how much I love all of you! I do, very dearly! You all mean so much to me for sticking with me, for giving my art, my writings, and well ME a chance! Whether you've watched me 15 seconds ago or you've been with me for all the years I've been here! I love you all so much and offer my deepest thanks! It's an honor and a privilege to call you friends!
Which brings me to my next topic now that I've gotten all gushy lol. I might just be getting a new Janitorial job which will allow me a lot more money for restoring this car and attending conventions. AND, best of all it'll leave my afternoons free to keep drawing and try to keep an active presence here. Funnily enough the job was offered to me by the guy who sold me Cassandra! I'm still going to remain open for Commissions because I deeply enjoy art and I hope that one day I can make my art good enough for anyone who would want to commission me! As such, I've come up with my list of Resolutions for this year which I intend to achieve!
#1 BECOME A BETTER ARTIST I've taken up Oil Painting once a week to help learn lighting, shading effects, and other such details my art could benefit from. Because of that I've also been watching like a TON of Bob Ross! You guys can expect to see pictures of that in the future! Also, in my quest to become a better artist I've dedicated this week to a 30 minute Sketch challenge. Every day this week so far I've spent 30 minutes drawing a sketch of a picture I'd like to draw and the second the time is up I put my Pencil down and don't touch them for the rest of the week. I'm up to three now and I'm noticing I'm getting faster!! One of my biggest problems with my art aside from my ability to color, is how slow I am. On my best day it still takes me two days to get one picture done and I'd like to try to change that!! I have SO MUCH I want to provide to you guys and I need to step my game up to make this happen!! So with all of these different little exercises I'm doing I'm hoping I can start demanding a higher quality from myself and a faster pace!
#2 FINISH MY NOVEL BY APRIL Okay, I've mentioned this one to a few people off and on in December that I was working on trying to get the first issue of my original Sci Fi series I've been working on for the last 12 years done by the end of 2016. And while I was churning out Chapters like a machine for awhile I had an epiphany (in the shower like any other "sane" person) that while I was writing down GOOD content, I wasn't writing down GREAT content. I've been working on this universe for 12 years, that's half as long as I've been on this Earth, half of my life and soon to be more, and there's content and details, love and care I couldn't put in at that pace. I want to get it done, but not just for getting it done. I want to get it done when it's ready and with all the details to really paint the universe. I've only got like 6 Chapters to go so I think April is a very VERY reachable goal for this year and then after that I'm going to start the Sequel and see if I can't do that one in about four months. After that, it's off to the Publishers!!!
#3 BE MORE ACTIVE ON DEVIANTART I've been a member of DeviantArt for like eight or so years and I do enjoy it! But for the last two years due to stagnation, art block, and other issues I just got so burned out and resentful of the site that I just stopped getting online. It wasn't until I started a Fur Affinity Account and started doing Furry Art and mixing up my routine that my passion for art started to burn again. As an Artist I got lazy, I was looking for good enough to convey my ideas, not looking to make the drawings as good as I could. I've been preparing for an explosive surge of content to herald my return to DeviantArt and I will still upload my OLDER and not so good art there just to get the content there to show off the universe of my novel, BUT I will no longer accept that as good enough. I will return to older drawings and redo them afterwards to further show what I can do and what lives within my imagination. This does not mean I will in ANY WAY move away from Fur Affinity, because I love the furry community with all it's faults and I would never dream of giving up what I have here. I simply want to make both as good as they can be! I'll be linking each page to one another in the future so keep a look out for that and the mass art spamming which will be coming to DeviantArt!
#4 LEARN TO PLAY THE VIOLIN I recently bought a 290 Year old German Violin which was a knock off back in the day of a Stradivarius for 7 dollars in a store I really love down here. Neither myself nor the store owner knew what it was because at the time all it was, was a wooden body without any parts. I have it off being restored now, but for Christmas, as my dad didn't think I'd ever manage to get it fixed, he bought me a new Violin that I've been fiddling with (pun intended ; D) I'm hoping that by the time my old German Violin is fixed I'll at least know enough to play Greensleeves and hear what it's voice sounds like!!
#5 GET IN SHAPE I've been tackling this one for awhile, but I really want to make a push in my progress with it this year. I'm going to re-enter the Megaplex Anthropamorphic Dance Competition since I'm dealing with the ventilation issue which caused me to overheat last year, and I want to know I can do it! As a result I'll also be looking into dance lessons to make sure I can do this, but most of all I want to be rid of some of this excess mass and actually feel good about myself and actually BE healthy! This one is a bit personal for me because I got fat in the second grade and haven't been able to change that since. I've been getting myself in better shape, but it's time I REALLY applied myself and stuck with it. Cold showers, working out every other day, brushing my teeth every day (which sadly I don't, gross right?), minding my portion sizes, and getting back to doing Yoga once a day!
#6 RESTORE THE CAR I know I'm not going to get this one done this year alone, but I can start!! I'm going to see just how much of this "Impossible Task" I can get done in this year and I'm going to bring down my buddy Ian to help me make a go of this! After being neglected for over twenty years it's time she sees some love and gets back out on the road! The immovable object has just met the unstoppable force!!
#7 BECOME FLUENT IN GERMAN I've dabbled with this one for awhile and if I'm going to learn another language I think it's about high time I do so! And heck, it'll be good for the old brain box so that's a plus!! After I get German down heck I might move on to French!
#8 READ MORE If the pictures I've taken of my old 1800s and 1900s books don't betray this fact, let me come out and say it; I collect books!! The older the book the more I like it, but I also indulge my love of star trek and sci fi in general with my book tastes as well!! I don't watch all that much TV so I really don't have too much of an excuse here. I need to manage my time better and see if I can't fit in a Chapter a day in something! These books are the great sources of knowledge and they're not helping anybody just sitting around! >.> I'd rather read a book and learn something then have to play find the fact in the opinion stack that you get online.
# Love Potion (props to anyone who gets that) SEE A CHIROPRACTOR For whatever weird reason I find the sounds of popping joints and backs to be very relaxing. For awhile I've been using Chiropractic Compilations to relax and go to sleep. Works like a dream in fact, but I've put off getting one myself. Being at an unhealthy size (I'm not morbidly fat but there's only one healthy size) and having a bad knee from an injury I got from my cousin puts a lot of wear on my body. I think that a full body adjustment would do wonders for me.
#10 BE MORE ACTIVE ON YOUTUBE I've flirted with the site a little and uploaded off and on, but I've had ideas for things I'd like to film and I've not done it. So I'm going to start by trying to figure out what I want to do there, refilm one of my Cooking with Greaser Episodes and upload it after I'm happy with it, AND get some editing help to do a Zootopia review I want to put together. I liked the movie, but it's far from anywhere near as good as it could have been. lol so huzzah! One more opinionated jerk taking to Youtube!
# 11 MAKE AT LEAST ONE CARTOON BY THE END OF THE YEAR I actually have a friend who wants to voice Miss Candilly and I want to do at least one traditional cartoon by the end of the year. I grew up loving Disney and the cartoon worlds they inspire so I think it's time I try my hand at it and see if I can't bring the characters of Pelican's Bay to life!
And that's it! I'll update these as I accomplish them and see if I can't make a dent in this by 2018!! Thanks for taking all the time to read this you guys! Feel free to tell me all your Resolutions in the comments! Here's to hopefully a productive new year!! HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY OWN THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!
And that's what these new years resolutions are about, finding new limits and pushing yourself to be the best you that you can be!

I grew up loving Disney and the cartoon worlds they inspire so I think it's time I try my hand at it and see if I can't bring the characters of Pelican's Bay to life!
And that's it! I'll update these as I accomplish them and see if I can't make a dent in this by 2018!! Thanks for taking all the time to read this you guys! Feel free to tell me all your Resolutions in the comments! Here's to hopefully a productive new year!! HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY OWN THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!
Jyoo C Thoughts 29: New Year, new friend
General | Posted 9 years agoHey guys and gals what's shakin? I figured I'd bring in the new year with something special. See there's this absolutely wonderful artist named MissCelFalore hosting a free art raffle to watchers who has an absolutely darling angel character (not ALL of her work is SFW so be handy on your filters for that) but I highly suggest taking the time to pop over and say hi. She's very polite and an absolute delight to talk to! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7997343/ Why not test your luck in the new year eh? Best of luck to everybody!!
THANKS!!
General | Posted 9 years agoThank you to everybody who came to watch my stream! lol I don't think I did too terribly for only having three colors. Once it dries I'll snap a picture and upload it when I get a chance. Again a huge thank to my 
colby-hedgey for letting me borrow her account to stream this! If you guys had fun I'll see about trying to do this again in the future!!

POST CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
General | Posted 9 years ago How's it shakin Groovy people? I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and had plenty of time to reconnect and hang with family. I've been thinking tonight about some things and since I got some oil based paints for Christmas and some brushes I think I'm going to try to tackle a Bob Ross style painting!
What does this mean for you? Simple! For the first time every I'm going to attempt a STREAM!! I don't know what program or service I'll be using, but I'll post a journal with the appropriate links and whatnot tomorrow! The Stream will be held tomorrow, that's 12/29/16, and will begin at 8:00pm EST. I'll start the broadcast at 8:00pm EST and begin painting at 8:10pm EST so everyone has a chance to file in and get settled in before I try this. I must warn you all ahead of time I'm no painter and this is my first attempt to do this. I already put Gesso on the canvas and have that drying as we speak! So no matter what I'm going to be giving this a shot tomorrow! lol albeit with only three colors. Come for a laugh at my failure, come to cheer me to victory, come to kill some time, come to just spend some time with me live! But no matter what hope you have fun!
I'll see you all there!! Remember, it's 12/29/16; TOMORROW at 8:00pm EST or Eastern Standard Time!!! I look forward to spending time with all my fabulous furry friends! Until then, stay cool, and stay fuzzy!!

Jyoo C Thoughts 28: The Best Gift
General | Posted 9 years agoHeya all my favorite fluffy people. Sorry I haven't been posting art as regularly as I normally do, but I'm working on trying to get my novel done. I've been working on this original verse since I was 12 and started this particular novel 6 years ago after many attempts and have finally gained traction as I continue to refine the verse. The reason I stepped it into high gear is because recently I showed three of the Chapters to a friend of mine who loves the story deeply, and not too long she was sent to the Hospital with heart issues. She's been recovering but I realized how easily it is to take things for granted. If she had passed and never got to see the next chapters I told her I'd send her eventually because I had become lazy I'd never forgive myself. As precious and wonderful as life is, it is fleeting; things can change in a moment and it got me to thinking.
I've recently stumbled across pages of Furs who have departed. A kind and wise friend of mine has recently lost a dear friend in a car accident, and there's always something chilling about seeing that. Accounts frozen in time, sometimes with happy lively intros on their pages and such wonderful bubbly art that just speaks so loudly of fun and other worlds with all the characters therein, paired with mournful comments wishing the users to be peaceful in their eternal rest. To be honest, that idea scares the heck out of me. That everything, all the characters and stories of characters I've known and loved, all the people behind them, can all just stop and that account is left there to serve as a memorial. We all have such creative potential, able to come up with new worlds, characters, stories, or think up new ways to help others and reach out to those in need; to think of ways to help those we care about. No matter what people say I believe that people are wonderful kind creatures by nature and that all the nastiness in our world comes from a loud minority of the population. But it scares me to know that at any moment all of that could just cease.
Life is too precious to hold grudges, friends are too important not to tell them you care about them, family is so rare in life not to tell them you love them. To each and every one of you I want to extend my thanks and love. I love you all so much for giving me the time of day to give my account a second look. Thank you for your interest in my drawings, characters, and stories. Bless you all for making me feel like I matter here, in life, at cons, and just in general. With what little voice I have in the fandom I'd like to encourage all of you this Christmas to tell all the people in your life how much they mean to you; even if you're fighting or haven't spoke in a long time. Let them know you love them and that no argument or bad feelings is worth them not knowing. You never know when you'll not have the chance to anymore. Make this season that much more special, by passing this along; something that money can never buy.
I wish all of you a very Merry (and in our cases hairy) Christmas, God Bless!

Jyoo C Thoughts 27: Before the Silence....
General | Posted 9 years ago I've been having a pretty good last few weeks. I got to see one of my favorite breeds of dogs on a walk that apparently has been here the whole 5 years I've lived in this area. I've had happy days and rather decent luck; I've even lost 10 pounds. I honestly HONESTLY hope that everyone else has been having a good last couple of weeks, but the high point to it all has GOT to be just this weekend when Colby-Hedgey and 
Cartoonastic came over on Saturday and spent the night! lol it's no secret that I consider them both very good friends and enjoy hanging out with them during my favorite furry con Megaplex, so the chance to spend some time together outside of the con was something I jumped at eagerly. I don't get to visit my friends often despite my wishes to, if I could I'd love to visit more of my friends and have more over more often!
It started when I got home from work just a few minutes before Cartoonastic arrived at my house. To say by that point alone that I was excited would be a gross understatement! I hadn't even had enough time to boot up my computer before there came a knock at my door which came as an instant relief from work mode! Cartoonastic got to meet my folks and share in some idle chit chat with my dad as he got a penny tour of my place before he and I set out to the Crystal River Mall. It's an interesting building with a very whimsical design but doesn't have many customers ever so it's a rather relaxed environment. Sadly my favorite antique store in there had closed down as many places in there do, but I digress. Despite the odd driving style of Cartoonastic, I think my favorite time of my visit with him was that long drive to the mall. lol I think that's the longest we've ever actually chatted instead of just battling each other with memes and smack talk; with conversations ranging from other furries to full on economics (you can hear how roaring my social life is from that I'm sure lol) We got the the mall in good time and got to mill around a bit to enjoy the shops still there while we waited for the other guest of the day to show up.
Then, in the parking lot, I came face to face with the endless bundle of energy known as.... Colby-Hedgey !!!! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN!!! There's just something so incredible about meeting up with your furry pals outside of conventions and getting to just hang out more than once out of the year! And Hedgey is just as energetic and lovable offline as she is on! We were all happy to be reunited and shared some funny conversation on the ride back to my place where Cartoonastic and I got into a mock argument over the definition on the correct way to interpret the word Adjacent (Again, rip roaring social life over here!)
lol getting home was another bucket of fun because my mom had just gotten back from wal mart and the second Colby saw her she shrieked out in a cry that would make even an eagle blush "HAI MAHM!!!" before scuttling out of the car and coming inside for the grand tour. The rest of the day was just perfection! We enjoyed some Pizza, got dressed up in costumes (sadly no fursuits allowed) and headed out to a Halloween even, I got to pet a sheep along with other such animals, came home and did an art jam together in my room, watched Zootopia, and enjoyed each other's company before gearing down for the night!
Zootopia was rather an interesting experience for me because I've been wanting to see it for AGES now. I'll not be going into my full thoughts of it here in this journal because I kinda have mixed feelings for parts of it. lol I'm actually thinking of doing a review of the movie for Youtube; let me know in the comments if you guys are interested in seeing me review stuff : D
Then, to start off today I cooked up a batch of my from scratch Chocolate Pancakes, even mixing the chocolate powder with sugar to get that right flavor, and afterwards we took a small walk around the neighborhood before going back to the Crystal River Mall to send Colby home and let Cartoonastic head back to his home as well. I thank them both for their time coming over and Cartoonastic for driving as much as he did. It was a great experience lol and I find myself feeling out of place in the silence in my house without the. I hope to do this again real soon and maybe try to get some visits in with my other pals like
NicholaiGaul Anyway I hope everyone else is having a great weekend and enjoying Howl-o-ween!!

General | Posted 9 years agoHey all you fuzzy peeps ^w^ I hope you're all having a great day! I just wanted to post a journal reminding everyone that the drawing for my raffle is in just two days! If I can get 15 more watchers I will be announcing THREE winners rather than the one I was originally planning. Please feel free to upload your own journals advertising this raffle as I'd welcome the signal boost and greatly appreciate it. I really love all of you fuzzy people and the great community we have here, doing art in general here has been nothing short of my absolute pleasure! For any new watchers who have found my page I'd like to welcome you and direct you to http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21230440 if you're interested in getting in on this raffle action! lol and I'd also like to thank you for watching me in that case because seriously, you have no idea how much I appreciate that little reminder that people like my artwork or the other content I have to bring them.
ANYWAY, sorry for pestering you guys and I seriously do hope you have a fantastic day! I'll be seeing all of you on the 7th when I'll be announcing the winner!! Best of luck to all of you!!

Jyoo C Thoughts 25: POST MEGAPLEX RAFFLE!!!!!!
General | Posted 9 years ago Hello lassies and gentlefurs! What's shakin, everybody? MAN I should have gotten on this a few weeks ago but I've actually been a little busy after I got home from Megaplex! I hope everyone has been having a fantastic time because I know I sure have been! Long story short Megaplex 2016 the British Invasion was stupendous, absolutely stupendous! I live for that con for the once a year break I get from everything else were I can just go and be in the company of some of the nicest people on the face of the planet! Seriously, I love you all! You're all a credit to this fandom and one of the things that makes it so great! The friendly atmosphere, the hugs, the fun and games, meeting new and old friends, making more friends, changing the scenery if only for a weekend, and that magic in the air; I cherish it all and it's those memories that last me until next year when we get to do it all again! I had a blast at the voice acting panel with Nicholai_Gaul and Vahn_Green , I loved spending time with Lylatsystem Themonsterr 
einnob Nicholai_Gaul Colby-hedgey and everybody else in the room and in the other hotels! It was awesome trying to enter the dance competition too this year, unfortunately an issue with my suit's ventilation caused me to overheat during auditions. I'll get 'em next year though!! I'm also thankful to a fur who filmed my comedy routine on Thursday which I've uploaded to my youtube Channel! I curse a bit more than I usually do, but if you wanted to see it the routine can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOMKAMVgdn0 . I promise though, I'm not going to make a habit of dropping the F bomb on my channel or here either!
Then if the convention wasn't great enough, after getting home I finally managed to set up a meeting with the owner of a car I've been drooling over for the last several years and finally made an agreement with the owner. As of just a few days ago we shook hands on $350 dollars and now I'm just waiting for him to file for a lost title and get me the key before I hand him over the money and haul my new (old) car home! She's a 1966 Chevy 4 Door Hard top with an Automatic Transmission and 327 V8 Engine I've affectionately dubbed "Cassandra". I'll be uploading pictures shortly! Also I'm going to begin filming the repair process of Cassandra on my Youtube Channel once I finalize everything as the flagship of a new series I'd like to do called "Long Shot Workshop".
__________________________________________________________________________
lol anyway, now to the reason why I'm sure you all ready this far! Since I'm so close and some of my other friends have already done this I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon! The rules to the contest are simple, to enter all you need to do is comment on this journal and say you're entering to win your place in the raffle. Signal boosting would be appreciated so feel free to direct people my way. Once I reach 100 watchers I will select a winner and they will get a SAFE FOR WORK picture of their choosing with can have a background, their character, and maybe some background characters all traditionally colored. If I get an insane amount of watchers beyond the 100 mark I will also include a second and third place winner who will also win a colored character picture with a background.
HOWEVER!! I will note that if you watch me just for the contest and then unwatch me afterwards you will be banned from future contests. I don't want to just artificially inflate my watchers or faves or anything with people who aren't interested in my works. I really enjoy drawing for you guys and I hope you enjoy the content I bring you; but I don't want people just hanging around looking to take advantage of any free content I could be giving to someone who genuinely appreciates my artwork. So yeah! Aside from no NSFW stuff and no watching just to unwatch that's it, just sit back and wait until I hit 100!
__________________________________________________________________________
So thanks again everybody for being here, on this website and in this fandom. You make this such a great place and breath magic into a sometimes cold and scary world, if only for a weekend. To all my watchers thank you for coming with me this far in my journey on Fur Affinity, here's to hoping that year 2 will be even better! I know I'm not the best artist out there but I appreciate you all being here with me as I grow and improve! Let me know what you'd like to see more from me in the future, and would any of you be interested in some of my non-furry related stuff here like the Fairy Tale I wrote or some of the works from the original Sci Fi series I've been putting together for the last 12 years? I really value your fluffy feedback!

Jyoo C Thoughts 24: HAPPY 4th OF JULY
General | Posted 9 years agoHAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!!! I love this Holiday! It always brings the nation I love so dearly together, sporting shirts and other garments of Patriotism that reminds me that no matter what, no matter how horrible the news gets, that we're all Americans united under those beautiful stars and stripes! I hope that everyone has had a great weekend and got to spend time with their family and friends! Happy 4th everybody!
Jyoo C Thoughts 23: Megaplex Plans
General | Posted 9 years ago Hey guys, gals, and furs of all ages! With Megaplex looming so closely on the horizon I've seen some of these popping up and I figured it's be cool to fill out my first one for anyone whose interested! I cannot stress enough how much I love Megaplex and I hope that I get to see some of you guys there!! I'm looking to really up my game this year and put my all into suiting and hosting events to help break in the new hotel! It's not been easy but I've been really trying to lose weight and learn a dance I've wanted to do my whole life for the fursuit dance contest! I'm even getting a brand new suit done! But here's basically what I've got planned so far!
Where are you staying?
In the main hotel with 8 other people!

Jyoo C Thoughts 21: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
General | Posted 9 years agoAnother year older and none the wiser! lol well hopefully I picked up something somewhere along the line! Terribly sorry for my last pretty depressing journal; it just kinda helped to get that all out there and off of my chest! But that's been put to bed and I'm just as happy as a clam to have my first Birthday here on Fur Affinity in the wonderful furry community! Hard to believe I'm 24 already! That I have a project now that I've been working on half of my life on. And I'm not looking to slow down! I want to redouble my artistic pursuits here on FA and eventually get my DeviantArt going again! I'd like to get new art supplies so I can increase my quality of artwork. I've noticed my lineart, anatomy, and scope have been improving and I've been doing more artwork than ever since I joined this wonderful website, but the colored Pencils I've used to color all these pictures have been old Crayolas I've had since I was a very small child. I'm happy and thankful for the time I've had them and what I've managed to create with them but I think it's soon time I upgrade and really start putting some cash into my supplies. Especially since I'd like to take commissions! WHICH by the way are open! I'm also planning to start trying at some point to upload more to my youtube but that's a journal for another day! My folks and I are going to celebrate my birthday this weekend and I'm looking forward to spending time with them all and seeing what they have planned! It's been wonderful to get to know you all and I hope my next year on this sight is just as wonderful! I've cherished every second with all of you!
I don't know if any of you are interested but every birthday I like to set goals for myself sort of like new years resolutions and work towards them over the remainder of the year and see what I can accomplish and how I can grow in the future. I also like having them in one spot so if anyone wants to see them I think for convince sake I'll put them all here so you can see my journey for the rest of 2016!
1. Continue to lose weight and get in shape
2. Learn my dance for Megaplex's dance contest
3. Start releasing more content on Youtube and DeviantArt
4. Get my Novel finished and published by the end of this year
5. Purchase and begin repairing my dream car from up the road
6. Do loads more furry art and take more fursuit pictures
7. Make more furry friends!
8. Buy new art supplies
9. Finish the Starship Bridge set in my Garage
10. Get a new job
Wish me luck :D

Heartache
General | Posted 9 years agoHey everybody, I hope you're all having wonderful days and have had a great week so far. You're all very special and important to me because I couldn't have enjoyed this great community without each and every one of you there to show me just how great furries are! That being said, if you're made easily sad I think you might want to splitsville before you go any further in this journal. I've got some kinda heavy jive I need to get of my chest. So I guess that's your warning if you don't want to see me get all emotional.
For those of you reading I don't expect sympathy or attention or anything, I just kind of need to address today because for me April the 15th is a day of mourning and sorrow. Today on this day marks the day that my precious little dog Abby was taken from me twice. Allow me to explain....
Abby was one of my three dogs, and out of all of them she loved me the most out of all of them and everyone kinda joked about it. http://theapprentice225.deviantart......-you-209644039 this is Abby. To this day I still remember my first words to her when I first saw her at the shelter. We had to go get our other dog for the meet and greet and I turned to her as she looks visibly saddened when we were walking away, and I said "Don't worry Abby! I'll be back for you! I promise" as at that time we didn't have Ozzy yet so it was just Max we had to have her meet. I remember when we brought her home she waddled all across the house exploring everything and was so happy to just see what everything was. Every morning she'd jump up onto my bed lick my face until I woke up and my family taught her the trick "Abby, Eat Face!" which basically meant if I was laying down she'd come running at me and lick all over my face. She was so full of love and enjoyed meeting new people and wherever I'd go she'd follow.
Then she started to faint and have difficulty jumping up onto the beds like she normally did. She'd fall off of the back of the couch and cough and hack a lot. So we took her to the doctor's as quickly as we could and learned she had a 5 out of 5 level Heart Murmur. She was a dog that had nothing but love and she was having problems with her heart. The cruelness of that irony was not lost on me. But we made an appointment for her to try to treated as her heart was swelling and beginning to beat irregularly. And the swelling was making her lungs start to flood with fluid. I was right by her side and I did everything I could to make sure she didn't exert herself and wasn't alone.
Then came the 15th. Her appointment was for the 16th. The morning started with me waking from a dead sleep as my mom screamed Abby's name. Apparently she had fainted and dropped behind the back of the couch. I didn't even think before I threw the couch away from the wall, admittedly with my mother still on it because I wasn't thinking very clearly in the heat of the moment. When I got Abby out from the back of the couch she just walked a little then fell down and began peeing and defecating on herself. We washed her up and my parents went to work leaving my sister and I with her. And I did my best, my absolute best to comfort Abby and keep an air of hope in the house since we only had to make it until tomorrow. I told Abby she'd make it and everything would be okay, and I sat her up on my lap and petted her as I loaded up a song for us to listen to which hopefully would lighten the mood and set the tone for the rest of the day. It was this song, this exact video and to this day this song now only brings me grief https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PzL8aL6jtI I know it's sappy but I just wanted to keep people's hope alive. We fed her some table scraps during lunch of Pizza which she really seemed to enjoy and for a time I really thought she'd make it through until tomorrow. Then I heard my sister scream Abby's name in a way I've never heard her scream before and I knew things were going bad.
Abby suffered a heart attack that sent her into a violent fit of convulsions before finally she stopped breathing and remained motionless in the most horrible way I've ever seen a dog twist. Her heart just stopped and the light was gone from her eyes but I didn't even hesitate before I dove down to her side and started giving her chest compressions after untwisting her body. It actually worked and I managed to bring her back to life but she was noticeably unsteady after that and I was starting to come apart at the seams. I called up my now Ex Girlfriend to see if I could maybe recollect myself with a little help from my beloved but she was more or less just kind of indifferent sounding and the most I got out of her was "Well she's okay now." I know she didn't mean it in a disrespectful way or anything, I just don't think she's very good with consoling people.
Knowing I was coming unglued and my sister was pretty badly shaken too I asked her to call dad and tell him to come home, which he did. We gave Abby some room to breathe and she seemed to want to be alone for a few minutes but when I left to use the bathroom she followed after me and the next thing I knew she was pushing the door open to stand by me. Abby was my little girl and she didn't want to be anywhere other than my side! So I stayed with her, and after I was done she had me follow her out to the living room where she got Gij to give her some attention and dad to pet her too before wanting to go outside. I took a short bench and set it out in the yard beside her and for half an hour we just sat there side by side with her looking off into the distance and occasionally up at me. I think she knew she didn't have a lot of time left and it kills me to think that maybe she was sitting there in the breeze thinking that she'd miss it or that she knew "I'm going to die" and there was absolutely nothing we could do to stop it. I still can't believe there are people in the world who think animals are dumb to the point of being unable to think or that it's okay to abuse them. But that I guess is neither here nor there. When she was done with the breeze we came back inside, I used the bathroom and she waited at the door as I washed my hands. I looked over to her and she looked at me and I said "hey Abby" or something like that to her and she just dropped over.
I swear the look on her face haunts me even now because I could see that it was a look meant to say "Goodbye friend." Now of course I dove to her side and was set to try to bring her back again but this time was different. There was this thick brown mucusy water just pouring out of her nose and mouth and it just wouldn't stop! Dad ran over to see me losing my mind and preparing to try to resuscitate her again and told me that it was cruel to keep bringing her back as she was more than visibly in a lot of pain. I was yelling "God no!" and stuff like that and I think it got a bit much for my dad because I know at some point even he had to turn and leave the room for a bit. And trusting him, knowing that whatever this was it was different than the first time I elected to let her go. I pet her and I told her it was okay, and to go into the light, and when it was my time I'd come back for her; that I promised and then she died!! My little Abby died right in front of me! Where I'm sitting right now I can look over my right shoulder and see the carpet where she fell! And the worst part was that when she died she didn't stop moving! She just kept twisting and baring her teeth like she was coughing just without air. You could see it in her eyes she was dead but she just kept moving. While my dad stepped away apparently he had gotten a box and we put her in, got her flowers, and buried her outside of my window so I can still wake up to her in some way every day, but the fact I didn't try again, that "What if it would have worked and she would have made it?" kills me on the inside.
I honestly don't know how to describe a feeling like that, of knowing your hands, your own two god given hands managed to bring someone who loved you without condition and then not knowing if it would have helped that last time. Part of me knows it would have been cruel to keep trying to bring her back over and over with how much pain she was in, but maybe it's just me being selfish or trying to cope with her loss but I still beat myself up for not even trying the second time. And what makes it worse is that this house is a rental. When I move I'm not even going to be able to be near her!! If I would have been the one to die of Congestive Heart Failure I know Abby would have sat there on that spot and stayed by my side. What kind of scumbag does that make me that eventually when we move that's it? Poof, I'm gone like the breeze that she felt before she died? There's a lot of lingering feeling around this and it just makes me feel like some kind of jerk that I could even smile again after she passed away. If it wasn't for Megaplex getting me out of that house and giving me the chance to be merry with such a loving fandom I don't know what I would have done.
But the worst thing. The WORST thing about that was the call I made to my now ex like an hour or so after Abby passed away. You see, she and my sister didn't like one another. They were friends once but after disagreeing one too many times she decided she hated Gij. And during the call she did something unthinkable. My sister was in the room to try to console me because she hadn't been there to see what I saw when X decided to attack Gij using the fact that she wasn't right there in Abby's final moments to insult her. Gij heard her and I told her that Gij could hear her and instead of trying walk back her comment she said GOOD and doubled down. I'm still getting over Abby's death and now I have to deal with that? I don't blame Gij at all for being mad and she didn't let that stop her from trying to make me feel better, but what X said was unforgivable and started one BIG fight. It got so bad that the next day I begged X to say sorry just so I could have my time to grieve for Abby but she found some way to explain the fact she wouldn't so much as talk to my sister directly and I ended up having to write a message pretending to be X in which I said sorry just so the fighting would stop so I could have my time to be quiet and mournful. She robbed my of that, and when I think back to my little Abby the memory is always tarnished with that cheap shot that was never apologized for.
For any of you who MIGHT know who my ex is I'm telling you right now NOT to go after her or say anything to her. It might upset you to read this and it still upsets me too but it's my burden to bear and if you start something with her, that will come back to me and then I'll just have to go through another fight on the first anniversary of her loss too. I don't want to be robbed of this yet too so please, don't say her name, don't find her page, don't do anything to provoke her. If I wanted to start a fight with her I'd do it myself. I just kinda needed to write this and just get my insecurities, my doubts, my sorrow off of my chest and to let all of you know if I'm not around a lot today, this is the reason why. I don't know if I'm going to be able to focus on art or much of anything. Even the sky seems to be in mourning because there isn't even a ray of sunshine breaching the clouds. I'll try to be online though. I don't think it's going to be good for me to be alone today....

It got so bad that the next day I begged X to say sorry just so I could have my time to grieve for Abby but she found some way to explain the fact she wouldn't so much as talk to my sister directly and I ended up having to write a message pretending to be X in which I said sorry just so the fighting would stop so I could have my time to be quiet and mournful. She robbed my of that, and when I think back to my little Abby the memory is always tarnished with that cheap shot that was never apologized for.
For any of you who MIGHT know who my ex is I'm telling you right now NOT to go after her or say anything to her. It might upset you to read this and it still upsets me too but it's my burden to bear and if you start something with her, that will come back to me and then I'll just have to go through another fight on the first anniversary of her loss too. I don't want to be robbed of this yet too so please, don't say her name, don't find her page, don't do anything to provoke her. If I wanted to start a fight with her I'd do it myself. I just kinda needed to write this and just get my insecurities, my doubts, my sorrow off of my chest and to let all of you know if I'm not around a lot today, this is the reason why. I don't know if I'm going to be able to focus on art or much of anything. Even the sky seems to be in mourning because there isn't even a ray of sunshine breaching the clouds. I'll try to be online though. I don't think it's going to be good for me to be alone today....

Jyoo C Thoughts 20: HAPPY EASTER!!
General | Posted 9 years agoHey, hello, and how're you doing to all my wonderful watchers, friends, and anyone else who stumbles across my friends! I've been out for most of the day so this is a trifle late but I want to extend my best wishes to all of you and hope that you all have a spectacular Easter!! Spend some time with family, hide eggs then promptly forget where they are, and eat enough candy to enter a coma! lol or at least that's how I celebrate Easter! Well, up until the candy bunnies because for some weird reason I always feel bad for eating them. I think it's because of how adorable some of them are >.>
ANYWAY, me rambling aside, I still have a persisting cough and I'm not quite 100% better but I figure I've rested for long enough and it's high time I start betting myself back into gear and get some art done for one of my favorite communities! So hopefully I'll be able to finish up the last of everything very shortly! Happy Easter everyone! And I'm happy to be here with all of you for my first furry easter!
lol and on a side note, has anyone ever noticed that we seem to have better suits than the people being paid to be the Easter Bunny at stores? I saw on and Walmart and I can only assume that's what the Easter Bunny would look like if he was delivered upon his birth by a ceiling fan.

Jyoo C Thoughts 19: Art Hiatus
General | Posted 9 years agoHey everyone. A lot of you probably noticed I've not been around a lot since Sunday since I normally drop most of you routine comments on your uploads and well the short explanation is I've been really sick. I'll spare you all the explicit details and symptoms but suffice it to say that my art requests are probably going to go on hiatus until I get better. I've been trying to finish up my request for BearBuster1 but I'm having trouble just sitting up so I might have to put this off until I get well again. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience
