REF SHEET INCOMING (soon...!!)
Posted 9 months agoThat's right! Regarding the wip sketch, which is really a sneak peek into my bear boi, a Ref Sheet of him is FINALLY in the works, and hopefully I'll have it up, tomorrow! Be on the lookout! š»I'm in School, BUT...!! (please read)
Posted 9 months agoIt's a new Year, I'm now once again a student to another online school, hoping to get some more student loans to help me pay for SOME of this crippling debt and keep up with my month-late bills.
HOWEVER, I have a phone bill coming up, and it WILL be a while before I could even see my first disbursement. So yeah... I'm gonna need some help again. Likely in the form of another YCH, or a standard Commission. Both of which I'm still open for.
I did say that I wanted to start off 2025 right, so... any thoughts?
ONE MORE THING... I need to do this more often, as well.... a Periodic Plan Out of My Future Projects, laying out what I'm gonna do for YOU ALL going forward, what to expect from me. Hopefully, it'll be within 1-2 week intervals to stay my engagement. Believe me, nobody likes it when I'm away for so long, am I right...? But because I'm regarded as a party-time student (1 course per 8-week term), it should be relatively easy. And I've been MEANING to make improvements of my time-management skills. And as usual, don't forget that I have both a LOADED backlog and a personal agenda in these communities to fulfill. Still, I want to satisfy as many of you fuzzballs as much as time (and life) allow me to.
Starting THIS off:
I want to finish off the Prologue and Chapter 1 of my romantic-drama MLP story called "Rupert Meets Equestria Presents: HEARTS and FEATHERS".
On THIS note, I'm seeking for a proofreader as the story goes along. Any volunteers?
and...
I'm contemplating a comic series about a MACRO Spike the Dragon from MLP and the city of Manehattan. Details will come soon.
and...
I MAY itch on turning myself into a dragon for the remainder of this year. Be on the lookout!
and...
I want to focus a LITTLE more on the Dragon Tales dragons, Opal from the Animal Crossing franchise, etc.

And THAT's my first update of 2025.

Time for another 2024 Upload DUMP in the start of 2025.
Posted 9 months agoYep. It's time for another 2024 Upload DUMP in the start of 2025.
And it's belated, too. More to come soon.
If I've missed anything you'd like shared, let me know below. Ok?Last post of 2024 + resolutions
Posted 9 months agoBefore I disembark for the night to ring in a new year, I do have a couple of Resolutions of my own.
I do hope that we all, here and around the furry communities, will continue to thrive in peace, faith and good vibes. I'd also like to forge new friendships here and abroad, and to finally get my backlog down to an appropriate size (finally...).
ALSO, I still have a couple of stories in the works that I want to update regularly about, and to focus a bit more on my personal agenda while as a new student in a new online school with classes starting next week.
ALSO ALSO, isn't it about time that I'd gone for a driver's license?
I THINK that'll do it for 2024 here. Godspeed, good luck, best wishes to you all, and PLEASE... let's have ourselves a HAPPY NEW YEAR, to you, your loved ones, and your buddies everywhere.
Thank you all so much., Until 2025 (which is an hour away at this point), Rupert out!

All right. Heck it.
Posted 10 months agoI'm gonna contemplate about my XMAS-themed ych, which I'd like to be my last major art for the year, and before I start school in early January. Thoughts?
I'm FINALLY GOING BACK TO SCHOOL! But.... (plz read)
Posted 10 months agoAs the title suggests, here's my really quick update as to what just happened on my end.
So I recently applied to go to online learning in another school, after what left like (what?) 2.5 years since I've withdrawn due to lack of funds.
Anyway, I've applied for a B.A. in Digital Photography, since it peaked my interest the most, and I've JUST BEEN ACCEPTED, as of today. Oh happy freakin' day! X3
HOWEVER... before we whip out the champagne, there's still the matter of being able to pay back tuition and financial aid and all of that. I did make a call to the new school's student finance lady. Right now, it's a waiting game to see if there's anything that I can be eligible for to help with this. Only then will I get to register, knowing that things will be mostly covered. Again, the best I can do right now is wait. I will update on this later.
MOREOVER, even with this news, I will likely still need YOUR help, since classes don't start until January 6th. And I MAY opt to do another XMAS-themed YCH, or a Commish soon. Who knows? Then, of course, there's my backlog.
That's it for now, y'all.

[ in case you missed it... ]
Posted 11 months agoI made this update last night. For those who did not get to see it.
>> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11003433/ <<
>> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11003433/ <<Phone getting cut off...! [EMERGENCY Comm, anyone?]
Posted 11 months agoYes...
This is one of those journal that I absolutely DREAD having to make, but it could not have happened to me at the worst possible time.
My phone company is screwing me here, and like an idiot, I forgot to make a payment arrangement to stave off any fees. So NOW I owe them $159 (might as well be $160 at this point) in both the past due AND a reconnection fee. I'm never gonna unlock and port out this phone, if this keeps up.... And worse still, it's due on the 21st (NEXT THURSDAY). No later than that.
So yeah... I need a QUICK one through either another YCH or a standard Commish. Got any takers?
And yes, I've yet to update on the pre-existing YCH's that are taken, but what can I do? If this gets cut off again, I'm EFFED until December 2nd.
I'm still open, by the way. I mean, is there a choice at this point in time...?
In other news, you heard of this adage? "Every cloud has a silver lining."
I'm upset that I didn't think of this sooner, but at the same time, I'm REALLY REALLY hopeful. My folks just recommended another online school to try to apply to, and lo and behold, its Digital Photography course has poked my interest. There's a catch: I gotta go for the Graduate program. HOPEFULLY, I can get another student loan under this program. I'll update on this, if something dramatic happens. I'll still need some help until I'm fully in.
Nonetheless, things are starting to look up, everyone.
That's my mini-update, just before Thanksgiving / Turkey Day.

š PLEASE! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. (urgent update, life)
Posted 11 months agoWell... CRAP.
Letās just go, man....
ONE
Okay, so... before I get to the juicy stuff, I need to update about the Casino Trip. Me and my folks had to reschedule it to next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (11th thru 13th) because of the housekeeping inspection and lease renewals THIS week. Forgive me for not reporting on this earlier. Now then.... For more serious matters....
TWO (itās a long one, so brace yourselves)
Mmm... in regards to recent current events here in the United States of America, I cannot express how sickened I am by the outcome of the latest Presidential election. I know many of you out there share my grief and disappointment, and even worry for what may come. Given that I have Aspergerās and am prone to bouts of depression, it is VERY easy to succumb to this ādefeatistā attitude. I try my best not to bring politics of any sort into these folds, but I feel like this needs to be shared. I want to be on the right side of history and not have to constantly live in fear, letting my worries about the future cripple me from doing what I love. And on behalf of my fellow American furs and all of my International friends... Iād like to apologize for that outcome, despite the fact that me and my democracy and freedom-loving friends did everything we could. And I believe when some of the influencers just came out and said this... āNow is NOT the time for hopelessness and despairā.
Yes, things are going to get worse before they get better. We heard this time and time again, but it still rings true today, in my mind. I know things are looking bleak, and probably will stay bleak for the next 4-odd years (hopefully not longer), but to me, giving up is NOT an option. First, we need to grieve. THEN, we need to come together and regroup and come out of this stronger than ever. Throughout history, democracy is often battered and bruised, but it still remains standing. And to my fellow American furs... I see and hear your anger and frustration. Donāt get me wrong: I woke up this morning and I was livid and hella depressed when the news broke of that outcome. However, we got to keep on moving on. It sucks to have to come to terms with having an incompetent and overall horrible leader in Washington DC, but we canāt let this get to us in the long term. Once again, I REALLY REALLY wished the outcome was different. The best we could do right now, I believe, is keep hope alive and prepare. Thatās right. Prepare. I WISH I wouldāve given better more lighthearted news, but this is where we are right now as America. And going back to our friends across the oceans, this bears repeating. I want to give my most sincere apologies on behalf of ALL of my American buddies. Even with this very hard pill to swallow, I remain confident that we are so much better than this. Weāve all survived this episode before, and I will stay confident that we can get through this again, together. The times are no doubt trying, crying over this is gonna get us nowhere. Stay in the fight. Stay in the know. We are all in this together. Man, I wish I couldāve given a better message to stave off these negative feelings, but... yeah. Weāre here now, and we got to live with it and push past it. And I refuse to let this get to me. Donāt give up, please!
And I normally am not a divisive guy and I do try my damnest to bring all of us together as 1 small community... however, given how things turned out, I somewhat begrudgingly feel the need to convey this tiny message, and itāll be directed to those who made the wrong choice, or who were too cowardly to do the right thing in this trying time in Americaās history, and my message is this:
āBe careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. You may not feel the devastating impacts right now of what you voted for, but itās only a matter of time. And from now until my last breath, Iāll be sitting in front of my computer wondering as the rest of us pick up the pieces, āHow the hell did we get here?āā
So... there you have it, yāall. Hopefully, this is the LAST time Iām gonna cover Politics on my end of the furry communities. I largely tend to avoid this topic, due to how DIVISIVE and UGLY it has gotten over the past few years. With all of that off my back, letās get back to more personal matters regarding my situation.
THREE
On the topic of WG Drives, I had to think long and hard about what to do next. Unfortunately, due to low to no activity, it is with a heavy heart, and a gut punch to make up for lost wages since my firing from my last job 2 months ago, I have decided to go ahead and cancel the Digeri Dingo Drive. Believe me, this was not an easy choice, and Iām hoping that whatever I launch in the near future will have more popular and more familiar faces. And that is where YOU come in. Iāve just launched a Strawpoll to help decide who the next Drive should be about. It is linked right here: š https://strawpoll.com/NMnQNRkJ0g6 š
BUT, if you rather see someone else other than the choices that are provided, you can tell me who in the comments below. Thank you.
By the way, any donations that I DID receive up to this point will be diverted into the progress of a new Drive. Sounds good?
FOUR
This ALSO bears repeating, in case it glossed over anyoneās heads here... Iām STILL contending with lost wages of around $1000 a month, or $400 a month, ever since I got terminated, and Iāve been job searching since, and whatever I DID apply to, Iām still seeing if Iāll get employed again. Until that happens, my best bet is all these Commissions and YCHās, but those alone can only take me so far. Not to mention, Iām still tackling mounting debt, and at this moment, I owe my phone company ANOTHER past due of $116 just to unlock my phone. ALSO ALSO, I can currently forget about going back to school, unless someone out there is generous enough to help me raise $1817 (yes, that amount) to the debt collector my school sent it to. Yeah..., itās crazy. I know these are tall tasks, but Iām at a point where I gotta take what I can get to make all of this up. Even a little bit.
LASTLY
Back to money, I gotta get THIS outta the way, too, for all who are new to my small community: I have aspirations to raise enough to buy my own custom-made fursuit (or at least the materials necessary to make my own, given that I learn to sew). It doesnāt come cheap, yes, and the least costly makers I could find fall between $600 and $1800. So thereās that.
END
Thatās it for now. Oh man, this was really long, but it was SUPER SUPER important to share. Man... this is so heavy. But... I gotta do what I gotta do, and I hope all of you can find your own ways to pull through this. To me, even though it feels like an easy out, surrender is NOT an option. I truly believe that. So, please... Iām asking you all to keep your heads up. Please....

Hmmmm... (another Drive update...)
Posted 11 months agoSorry about the lax activity, y'all.
At this point, I'm still pondering my next steps regarding Drives.
I have another one in mind that I was really hoping to put in place of the Digeri one.
BUT... since I recently got a dono, would it be a good idea to divert that into a new Drive instead? One that I mentioned on my Discord would have more popular characters.
Again, I got to think about the future, so I need to know.

TRIP reminder. ALSO... (( important ))
Posted 11 months agoThis is for those of you who might not be in the loop with my last journal. So here goes...
Me and my folks will be off to a casino resort in Alabama from Tuesday to Thursday.
ONLY, small problem... I'm short the $50 needed to reserve my stay, and worse, my bank JUST overdrafted by $31, because I had to prioritize my power, gas and rent.
I wasn't lying when I said that I'm on track to lose $100 a week since I got terminated 2 months ago. (again, that's around $400 a month). AND worse still, the DOL is screwing me here, because I could not go to the nearest career center, which was required for Unemployment Benefits, so I can kiss THAT goodbye now. So now what...?
No... seriously... now what? I really HATE to have to ask for more money than usual through my normal means of Commissions and YCH's. In case it wasn't obvious enough, (I have to admit), this was largely the reason why I started this WG Drive, which at this point, is a week old and STILL waiting to progress.
This is what I mean: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58575488/
On that note: feel free to spread the word. The moment I'm in right now is urgent. And until I become an employee again, THIS is what I need to resort to, much to my disdain....
Now I REALLY feel like I'm burdening y'all, but I have no choice. Some of this crud is just out of my control...
Again, spread the word about the Drive. And, again: if you can't help me out, find someone who CAN. Please?
And I'm assuming this would be a better time for this message, since it's the first of the month. Then again....

š¼ - VACAY ALERT! (plus, YCH Update, Drive, etc.)
Posted 11 months agoAll right. Here's a thing I PROBABLY should have told y'all, like, last week or summat.
My and my folks just booked another stay at a casino resort in Alabama for 3 days, 2 nights, and as usual, activity will be slow for me while I'm away. BUT, I will check in periodically. We're embarking from next Tuesday (5th) to Thursday (7th). Don't worry, I'll settle some time, even over there, to get down to the nitty gritty. š°
NEXT: YCH #25 is getting a small little change. 1 MORE SLOT OPEN! That's right. Right now that'll make 2 slots up for grabs, totaling 4.
Still the same SPOOKY price of 50usd, so hurry, before they're gone! š»
GO here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58622655/
Oh, and PLEASE don't forget:
My latest WG Drive with Digeri Dingo is still open, and STILL waiting to progress. Learn more here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58575488/
So far, it's yet to raise a single cent to make him large. Again, every little bit helps, even if it's chump change. āŖ
That's my mini-update for now. If I left something out, don't hesitate to comment below. Okay? Thankies.

GO here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58622655/
Oh, and PLEASE don't forget:
My latest WG Drive with Digeri Dingo is still open, and STILL waiting to progress. Learn more here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58575488/
So far, it's yet to raise a single cent to make him large. Again, every little bit helps, even if it's chump change. āŖ
That's my mini-update for now. If I left something out, don't hesitate to comment below. Okay? Thankies.
(tiny) UPLOAD BOMB abound. ALSO....
Posted 11 months agoSo, while I wait for a single dollar (so to speak) to flow into my newest WG Drive (check out here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58575488), in the meantime, I have some PAST ych's that I'd like to share.
Let me know what you think, guys. I'd love to hear what should come next, with all of this in mind.(sigh) There's been a mistake. (ANOTHER IMPORTANT message...
Posted 12 months agoI'll try to keep this concise.
Someone pointed out to me in a note that Sally Acorn is... shall I say... "not of age" for such a treatment of fattening. And apparently, this site's new policy is bound to get on me for such, even though it's never my intent. I should have saw this stuff before doing all of this....
Before I get more comments on this, hear me out when I say this.... No. I would never condone putting characters that are considered "minor" in risque situations, and I always make sure that when I do, they are at least 18 or older. And if I appear to have done so in the past on this site, then it was likely before the updated AUP rules. And if a need comes, then I'll have to respect a possible takedown request. In all, I don't want to be labeled as "that" kind of artist....
So it is with a heavy heart, and to my utter disdain where money is concerned, that I'm cancelling this Drive here on FA.
If you want, it's still up on my DA, Inkbunny, and NG sites, if rules allow it. If not, then I will respect the decisions of the respective sites and pull the Drive altogether. Meaning, it'll be all for nothing....
Note, if a need comes up again, then I'll have to make some needed adjustments so that Sally is of age.
Oh, and I've already switched the new option to "block minors", too.
UPDATE: to ensure that I don't get in trouble with anyone, I begrudgingly(big word) made a decision that the Sally Drive is no more. Gone from the other sites, too...
How disappointing is this.... damn....Drive or no Drive...? (PLZ read...)
Posted 12 months agoTHAT is the question for you, guys and gals, because....
I've teased this possibility for a while now, and now I've become more inclined to ever since getting fired back in late August.
On top of that... the Department of Labor is screwing me here, because they REALLY want me to to attend an appointment at a nearest career center, which is a hour away. My folks are not gonna take me, and public transit and ride shares are out of the question. I cannot stress this enough... ALL of this, just so I can get some badly needed unemployment benefits, until I can find another job. And the former said it's mandatory, too. So now what? I'm stuck, risking losing my rights to UI, which will set me even FURTHER back, unless I get employed again SOON. With that in mind, THE CLOCK IS TICKING (sorry for the all caps thing, but it's super important. In fact, more now than ever).
It's tough, so, again, I need all hands/paws/claws/hooves/whatever on deck.
I have to apologize again for laying this stuff on y'all, but right now, I am truly in need.
Ever since my lay off, it's been setback after setback...
So to conclude... I might need to resort to this new Drive now, if there are no objections. How does that sound, everyone...?

from ONE money headache to ANOTHER...! (help again...!)
Posted 12 months agoOKAY...! I said I wasn't going to keep on harping this, but my phone's carrier is leaving me with little choice....
To keep y'all up to speed as to what went down on my end... while I was pay the PAST DUE amount of $140, in part thanks to the generosity from my latest YCH (and partly because I had to help a family member with a long errand last Friday)... NOW the problem is that I'm still short $46 from having my phone COMPLETELY paid off.
Let's say $50, to be generous.
My phone carrier says that the payment I made today was the "second to last" one before this $46 one that will fully pay off this thing. Only then will the unlock request actually go through.
NOTE: it's not their fault. It's on me for not noticing this sooner. So yeah....
I need help again, and time is of the essence before I may likely get another "past due" notice, which will once again put me in this loop with them about carrier unlocking.
So... now what????
I'm still open for Commishes. Should I shoot for another right now? OR......... should I go ahead and launch this aforementioned WG Drive that I teased a while ago?
Again, I need to know, guys...!

FINAL Last Call ā ļøā ļø (for YCH #24)
Posted 12 months agoI've already gone once, twice AND thrice...! This is it. It'll be declared SOLD soon, if there's nobody else out there that wants this giant balloon piece.
>>> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58517249/ <<<Yes... ANOTHER Money Update (unfortunately...!)
Posted a year agoOh boy... where do I even start...?
Well, time for a new development. And some context, maybe.
So ever since getting laid off back in late August, I've signed up to receive some Unemployment insurance, which was calculated to be 87 a week. This is supposed to be until I can get back into the workforce in another job. The thing is...
... my folks are fervently hesitant about this, and are adamant about "getting my SSI back to its full amount and I may have to redo it one day". Sparing y'all too much detail, I'm still job searching. I'll update on this further. IN THE MEAN TIME...
... Yeah... I'm STILL hesitant about starting a new WG Drive, and I really don't want it to suck. And, again, I'm not aiming to sound desperate, but I'm at a point where I need to consider all avenues. Should I just go and do it? And can I rely on as many helping hands as possible??? Feedback is greatly appreciated in this front.
I'm worried because the last Drive with the griffons, which is technically cancelled at this point, went out with a whimper instead of a BANG. So I'm asking again....
Well, until I know for sure that now is a good time to launch it, I guess I'll put out some more YCH's.
On THAT note... I MIGHT be taking a bit of an unusual leap here, but I'm thinking of integrating an added fee of about 3% or 4% to new commission totals, going forward. The idea with THAT is to offset a bit of PayPal's fees, or how much else that they take out of each transaction.
I don't know, y'all. Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Let me know, please.
That's it for now, I think....

Let's talk about that GREEN, shall we?? (some help needed...
Posted a year agoWell, guys... DEFINITELY not how I'd imagine spending my Birthday week, or starting to get acquainted in my new apartment.
But let's cut this short, yes? I have rent that is due this Saturday, and I'm short nearly $70, and I REALLY REALLY don't want to be held responsible for being late on my rent the 3rd time. I'm STILL open for Commissions, so if you like, I can take 1 or 2... or 3 (maybe?)....
That reminds me, I also still pondering as to whether I should just go ahead and open a NEW WG Drive. The question with that is... can I trust YOU ALL to help me on this? I really don't wanna get screwed like I was with the Griffon Drive this Summer, of which it went out with a whimper instead of a BANG..., so I GOT to know....
On a somewhat related note: my recent move has unfortunately slammed me with some expenses that are beyond my control. I've updated my GoFundMe campaign to explain this further: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rup.....ursue-more-art
I think that'll do it for the moment. Again, I need help. And I DESPISE asking for help like that, but I haven't much choice, given where things stand. Anyway, that's all.

Invite Link ERROR!
Posted a year agoMy bad, y'all! The last Discord invite link has led many directly to Discord's main page instead of my server. Here's the REAL link, and I double-checked it: https://discord.gg/8eUEQDRttH
My Old Discord Account is BACK! (Update)
Posted a year agoIt's about time the Support team updated. Now my old account is back to its former glory. (well, before the recent events, that is). STILL, this is great news on that front!
I think it's safe to say that we can ALL now return to ( rupertchubbyfox ), to friend me... OR to be invited to that server, which I'm fixing around a bit.
Here's the BRAND NEW invite code: https://discord.gg/4RVVCqr7pU
Unrelated: I made a last post that I need $45 paid off so I can transfer my gas service to my new apartment. DM me if you want a Commish. Okay?

Okay... what the crap... (Emergency-ish Comm)
Posted a year agoYep. I REALLY don't like doing this, but...
It appears that I can't transfer my gas service while it's in the past-due state, to the tune of $45.
I need to have THAT paid off soon, if I wanna keep my gas on in my new unit as I move.
Got any takers? I'm all ears. DM me for more, if you want, fellas...

š End of Summer UPDATE (Life, Discord, GFM, etc.)
Posted a year agoHello again, everyfur/scalie/avian/whatevs. My CHRIST! A lot sure has friggin happened. Letās just jump right into it, shall we?
---
ONE
Okay, for those of you NOT in the know: expanding on my breaking news from last night, Iāll try to explain in a simple but understandable way. Yesterday, one of my Discord friends messaged me about āaccidentally reporting meā, and that the company was gonna IP ban me and kill my account unless I contacted a āsupport personā. (mind the quotes) And I did, following some steps that I did not know at the time were sketchy, like changing my primary email so that my account will be āunder Discord protection custody reportā. Whatever that means. Again, I was stupid to not pick up on THAT. I was instructed (forced, really) to create a new Discord account under a different email to contact the person further. Then, they told me that my account had āseveral issues that they need to addressā, without telling me off the bat what they are. Because I was desperate to get my account back, I didnāt think too much of that part. However, the REAL red flag to me was after that, they said Iām required to pay $150 so they can lift the ban. THAT was the last straw for me, so I quietly ignored that person, blocked and removed them from my history. I was NOT going to be a sucker, because where I come from, THAT amount is like a monthās rent worth of money. All in all, I pretty much lost my original account, unable to access it, so I have a new one to hopefully regain what I lost. Friends, Groups, etc.. And to date, the ACTUAL Discord support is of little to no help in recovering the old account, and the rest is history.
I didnāt know until it was too late that it was all a scam, and that the āfriendā who referred me to the faker... I later learned that the friend had his account hacked. Iāve learned that itās a new scam, too. To give you a better of what happened to me, hereās a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comm....._discord_scam/
SO! If you still want to, you can friend me at (rupertaltnight). And hereās my NEW Discord Server invite:
> https://discord.gg/JqBtBKRMWU
To date, itās still under development, so PLEASE hang on tight, yāall!
Lesson learned: beware of anyone saying that they āaccidentally reported youā. Thatās a first of many red flags, indicating that the friend was hacked. Also, activate multi-factor, just in case. Oh, and it helps to change your passwords frequently.
Thatās it for Discord news, I hope.... Letās move on to MY IRL LIFE.
TWO
Iāve previously alluded to bathroom renovations that are going on with my apartment complex and nearby buildings. Mine was due anytime soon... BUT, Iāve found out that thereās a vacancy literally next door to me, and the vacant apartment JUST got renovated, from head-to-toe, even its bathroom. Me and my folks asked the front office if itās possible for me to file paperwork and start the move soon. Good news: I can! All we have to do is go up there tomorrow to fill out paperwork, and Iāll start moving in tomorrow, giving me a week to do so. Of course, Iāll be temporarily unavailable to get in touch with yāall while I do this move, if possible. So thereās that.
THREE
Iāve reached a point where I had to swallow my pride and open up a GoFundMe campaign:
> https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rup.....ursue-more-art
Donāt forget my motto: āif you canāt help out, find someone who can.ā Every little bit DOES help, even if itās chump change.
FOUR
Because of my challenges, Iām still contemplating opening up a NEW Weight Gain Drive. Again, not saying yet who will be in it, but hopefully, yāall are gonna love it. Stay tuned for that, please. Thank yous.
FIVE
A friendly reminder: Iām currently writing up a BRAND NEW story, a romantic drama starring yours truly, and Gilda the Griffon, entitled āHearts and Feathersā. You can follow along in this link: Rupert Meets Equestria Presents: Hearts and Feathers
> https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....WSzFMJaHI/edit
On THAT note: Iām seeking out a proofreader or two to help as this story goes along. DM me, if youāre interested.
LASTLY
By the wayā¦ at the time this is posted, in exactly 2 weeks time, Iāll be turning 32! Hooray.
Guess Iāll whip out some 72-inch round ones. š
END
Thatās it for now! If I missed ANYTHING vital, donāt be afraid to let me know. Okay? Definitely, this was a heck of a way to reign in Autumn. My gosh, dude...! Anyway, thank you all again. Rupert out.

DISCORD help! [please read]
Posted a year agoTHIS is mega-embarrassing. I've just fallen prey to a new Discord scam (reasons unknown), and now I've lost my original account. Hopefully that IP ban hasn't taken hold, so I'm forced, really, to make a NEW Discord account on a different email. Holy crud, man...!
NOW I gotta regain the support that I lost. If you want, you can spread the message and add my new name: Rupert Alt Night rupertaltnight
Asking me to pay $150 to remove a ban on my account... WTF?! To me, it just reeked of red flags. And I HAD to have this confirmed on a some subreddits.
I honestly had no clue WHY this happened, but I'm not taking chances. I like to delivery my sincere apologies for all of this.
If you have any questions regarding this, I'm all ears.
