Life Changes (IMPORTANT UPDATE)
General | Posted 7 years agoAs a lot of you know, I've been REALLY sick here recently.
So much so that the physical illness has started to take a toll on my mental well being as well.
Unfortunately due to all of this I had to make the choice to leave full time job.
Of course there were far more reasons than just the fact that I'm ill.
~~~~~~ If you feel like knowing more. I'll put a TL;DR below ~~~~~~~~
Other factors played into this:
~ The main one being that the higher ups were already gunning for my position due to the fact that I was on a 2 week leave for my gallbladder surgery in early 2018, they started gunning for it even harder because I had to call off 2 days in a row due to severe pain brought on my my most recent kidney stones. I was informed that if I called off 1 more day for the remainder 2019 that I would be terminated immediately. Keep in mind, any time I call off I go directly to the ER, I bring paperwork as proof that I went and as proof that I am indeed as ill as I say I am.
~ The other higher up reason is that I travel almost 2 hours, 1 way, to get to work each day. I walk for 15-20 minutes to the bus (Mind you, I'm in the polar vortex right now, if it weren't for my friend thinking ahead of time and making sure she was awake at 4am to make sure I didn't have to walk in the cold I would have had to walk in -20 F wind chill weather, and yes... it has been ungodly windy) I then take 2 buses for 40 minutes and then a train for 30 minutes. And this is EVERY Mon-Fri no matter what the weather is like. And all this travel, in the cold, hasn't been helping my health at all. I've ended up with various upper respiratory infections this winter even though I bundle up hard core.
~ The last, and less major factor was... What I was doing every day... what I was witnessing every day... It was destroying my mental state. I can't go into extreme details publicly what was being done, but I can say that I worked in a laboratory and worked with lab mice and rats every day. If you know me, you know I really love animals, especially rodents and have kept many mice and rats as pets throughout my life. Of course I can feed my snakes mice and rats but that's only because that's the circle of life, snakes need to eat too. But to see what I was seeing just... It was morally wrong to me. And I'm not here to bash research on animals, I do still believe it is a necessary thing for us to advance medically and scientifically and I still think every little mouse and rat that has been used in research is a tiny hero. I just feel awful participating in it physically, and of course I have great respect for those who can do it every day in the name of science. I was never forced to do anything I didn't want to do, but still seeing it happen does actually take a toll on the ol' mental well being.
Making the choice I did wasn't easy, but all of this led me to put in my 2 weeks. Because I wasn't going to hang around for them to terminate me. I liked working where I worked and I hope that I can go back someday (of course, I won't be in the animal research branch, but there are MANY other options open to me and I wouldn't mind exploring them given the chance)
My last day was yesterday and I'm not going to lie, this is the first time I ever cried when leaving a job.
I'm going to miss everyone there, all of the managers and supervisors were so wonderful and I made friends with many of the other techs. Of course there was also the pay and health coverage that was amazing as well. But everyone reminded me that my health, both physical and mental, are more important than the job. And that's a hard pill to swallow for me since I grew up being told that money is supreme and I should go to work even if I'm actively dying (Which I have done, far too many times. So much so that doctors told me I had only days before an infection spread to my whole body and killed me when I was 18. Funny story, I still haven't learned my lesson.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TL;DR Time!
I just finished my last 2 weeks at my job. I left due to being crazy sick physically and having my mental state decline from being ill and not getting enough rest.
Important Update Time!
For the time being, I will be back to drawing full time. Commissions will continue to be closed as long as I can manage so that I can actively work toward getting completely caught up on my backlog.
I will be able to keep my bills paid for at least the next 2 months without having to tack on any extra work, so that will give me a good amount of time to get caught up.
While the tiers with monthly requests have been pulled down for right now, I do still have a Patreon for anyone who wants to help me stay afloat. https://www.patreon.com/voraciousrose
Once I get my small Patreon Monthly Drawing Request list out of the way I'll be reopening the Monthly Drawing Request tiers for anyone who wishes to receive drawings for their support each month. I'm sure that will help me a good amount in staying afloat in following months.
I don't like asking for help for myself very much, but I know I'm going to be asked, if anyone wants to help at any time but doesn't want a reoccurring Patreon thing, I still have my Paypal link open. https://www.paypal.me/am1343
Of course, if you're in a bad way yourself, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST! I will always find a way to make things work and keep myself going and you should NEVER put yourself into a bad situation trying to help someone else.
I hope you guys look forward to me returning and look forward to the abundance of art that will be coming soon.
Of course I will be taking the next few days off from everything so that I can catch up on some much needed sleep... and like... take a bath and actually tidy the tiny tornado that is my room right now DX
But I will be back very soon! Refreshed and ready to make more lewd stuff :3
Love and Hugs,
Rose

I LIVE!
General | Posted 7 years agoTT.TT *Hugs computer* I've missed you guys so much! I feel like I've been gone forever!
This is about to be a long story... so buckle up.
So I guess some good news, then bad news, then more good news. Here we go!
First good news:
My sister's wedding went very well! She was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen and I cried like a big baby... like way more than anyone else XD
We had a lot of fun and everything was lovely! Until...
Bad news:
My now ex got pissed. Reason? My sister had all her bridal party dance with the groomsmen they walked in with. It lasted for maybe 1 minute if that, nothing inappropriate, all good fun with this married man I didn't even know and had no interest in. Well... that wasn't okay and my ex lost his mind. He stormed out of the reception hall like a teenage girl and when he came back he was carrying an umbrella he had that looks like a sword, essentially scaring the shit out of everyone at the reception. My sister got worried and told me to tell him to go put the umbrella away because not everyone knew it was an umbrella and apparently he was pacing like he was about to shoot up the place.
So I asked him nicely and told him the problem and he got pissed and stormed out once again.
Apparently he told my cousin I broke his heart by participating in something that was my duty to my little sister. Something that literally everyone else knew meant nothing.
I ended up leaving early because I didn't want him coming in trying to ruin my sister's wedding. Once I got in the car with him he sped out into the middle of traffic and tried to kill us both.
At this point my mind was made up and if I managed to make it home in one piece I was going to move out.
I started making plans on where I'd go and I decided to go back to the only place I knew 100% I'd be safe, with my aunt.
Now, I know, I know... Didn't I just move out of there a year ago due to her being messy? Well, yes. But I think continuing to live is more important than having to clean up after someone.
Now the other good news:
I got moved quickly with the help of my Uncle, Sister, and Brother-in-law. We got me moved in 1 day but unfortunately everything was thrown everywhere as I didn't have much time to pack. I've spent that time since the move getting settled in, putting all my things away, and recovering from the madness I just had to deal with. Also, I've found out my aunt has improved quite a bit since I left! She's still not as clean as me, but she does try her best to keep the place tidy now too. She said it's been a lot easier for her recently, she even managed to completely clean out the laundry room! I'm quite proud of her!
I'm almost finished settling in and have finally gotten my computer hooked back up so hopefully I'll be back to drawing in the next few days.
Oh! I also have OTHER other good news!
I'm being put up for a promotion. I'm against another person who keeps running around saying she's had the spot promised to her, so I'm not completely sure I'll be getting promoted (though my other co workers say I deserve it far more than the other girl does) I guess we'll see how it goes! Everyone wish me luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway! Tl;dr for those who don't want to read all that. Wedding was great, almost got killed by my now ex boyfriend, been gone while moving back in with my aunt for my own safety. Aunt is better at cleaning and things are going well. I've finally got settled in and will be back to art very soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sorry I didn't update you guys sooner, and I hope you can forgive me. While this entire ordeal has been very stressful and scary, I managed to make it through in one piece and am a lot happier now than I was.
Also... My aunt is letting me get a kitty! As soon as I get the funds to do so XD
But anyway, I hope you all are doing good and thank you all for waiting patiently for my return. And again, I'm really sorry if I caused any of you to worry!
I promise I'm doing great now and am very safe!
Love and a ton of hugs,
Rose

General | Posted 7 years agoHey guys!
So I'm in a little bit of a crunch and am trying my best to meet my final goal to help my little sister finish up with her wedding. Unfortunately we're a little behind on money to finish paying for the things needing paid the day of the wedding. We're about $400 shy of what we need and I want to do my best to help her (as I'm the only person who is helping financially, other than her and her finance that is)

As of now I am reopening ALL YCHs! I don't have time to track down all the blank YCH files but you can pick ANY YCH in this folder and I'll do it!

I really appreciate anyone willing to help us with this! And my sister and soon to be brother in law greatly appreciate it as well!
I'm in a bit of a time crunch helping her finish with everything, but I will be back to the art grind after this weekend!
Thank you to anyone who helps! I really can't thank you enough!

Surgery Update (I LIVE!)
General | Posted 8 years agoJournal with pics: https://voraciousrose.deviantart.co.....LIVE-733552758
Hello friends,
As you can see I have made it through the surgery safe and sound!
Actually, the surgery went a lot better than I expected (keep in mind this was my first surgery and I was pretty scared)
So for those who are curious here's how yesterday went! (If you don't care, read past the second break line)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got to the hospital at 10am (10:00) and they brought me back into the pre-surgery waiting room.
I had to strip on down to my birthday suit then get into a gown, booties, hospital underwear (which are just sad mesh panties XD) They got me into my bed and got me comfortable.
Then the sweet nurse came in and put my IV in, another nurse followed her and put these sleeves over my legs (they would puff up every few seconds to promote blood flow to avoid blood clots) She also put a heating blanket over me.
After that they let my boyfriend and TsundereHana join me in my room. Hana said they were calling her into work and ended up leaving at 11am (11:00). My boyfriend kept her updated though so she could update you guys on Discord.
The previous surgery ended up taking longer than expected so my surgery didn't actually happen until after 2pm (14:00). The nurses came into my room, gave me another medicine via IV, and put a cap on my head. I had my boyfriend snap a pic and then the nurses rolled me off for my surgery.
I remember getting into the OR and sliding from my bed to the OR table. They had me extend my left arm and then decided to extend my right arm as well. I remember them propping up the right arm and then that was it! I fell to sleep before I could do anything else. I don't remember counting backward or any of that jazz, as soon as I hit the operation table I was gone.
Next thing I knew I was waking up coughing. I had mask on my face and everything was blurry. I could see a person moving next to me and heard her talking. My throat hurt and my stomach was sore from coughing. I began to groan and the nurse patted my arm and told me "Sweetie, you're alright, no need to make so much noise, just relax" I stopped groaning but I continued to bobble my head around trying to see straight. It didn't feel like it was taking me long to come through and I soon began talking my slurred words at the nurse, I don't even really remember what I was saying. I think I told her my throat was sore (they put a tube down my throat after I fell to sleep to make sure I kept breathing and took it out before I came through) and all I kept saying was "my stomach... it hurts... it hurts..." So the nurse gave me more medicine in my IV and I started coming through even more.
Pretty soon I was talking to the nurse just fine and they determined it was time for me to go to the recovery room to sit up in a chair, drink water, and wake up more. My boyfriend could reunite with me there.
They got me transfered into my nice little chair, gave me water and crackers, and more medicine as I started to hurt again.
I started chugging the water as it was now like... 5pm (17:00) and I hadn't drank anything all day. I couldn't quench my thirst for anything! And the graham crackers weren't helping but I was soooo hungry! I think I drank at least 6 glasses of water trying to fix my problem... it wasn't working DX
Once I came through really well, was talking just fine and feeling better the nurse brought in more medicine (oral meds now) for me to take for my pain before leaving. She then helped me get dressed in the clothes I came in with and helped unhook me from all the stuff they had attached to me.
Seriously, all the staff at the hospital were freaking fantastic and they helped make my surgery experience sooooo much better than I could have ever asked for, it was some above and beyond service and I'll have to go in and bring all the nurses candy and cards for the specific nurses once I'm fully recovered.
I finally left the hospital at 6pm (18:00).
Once we got home there were bags in front of my door and a note. Unfortunately I was having a rough time with standing and couldn't do everything I should have done. Sorry Hana DX
Anyway, TsundereHana wasn't called into work! She actually left so she could come to my house and decorate the crap out of it and make me an awesome surprise party! There was LoZ:MM stuff everywhere and she had the Song of Healing playing through her phone! It was freaking awesome and the best surprise I've ever gotten. All you guys need a friend like Hana, she's the absolute best and wasn't joking when she said she was going to make my birthday the best!
Thank you again Hana! I love you so much and I'm so happy I have a best friend like you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway tl;dr, the surgery went great and I'm feeling pretty good while recovering. I'm keeping ontop of my medicine and am feeling very little pain (besides when I cough, laugh, or hiccup but that's normal).
I'm very in and out of consciousness but hopefully that will pass as I continue to recover.
Also, thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes you guys are all great and make me feel so loved
I'll update more as I improve. Until then, I'll do my best to keep getting better!
Love and Hugs,
Rose

They got me transfered into my nice little chair, gave me water and crackers, and more medicine as I started to hurt again.
I started chugging the water as it was now like... 5pm (17:00) and I hadn't drank anything all day. I couldn't quench my thirst for anything! And the graham crackers weren't helping but I was soooo hungry! I think I drank at least 6 glasses of water trying to fix my problem... it wasn't working DX
Once I came through really well, was talking just fine and feeling better the nurse brought in more medicine (oral meds now) for me to take for my pain before leaving. She then helped me get dressed in the clothes I came in with and helped unhook me from all the stuff they had attached to me.
Seriously, all the staff at the hospital were freaking fantastic and they helped make my surgery experience sooooo much better than I could have ever asked for, it was some above and beyond service and I'll have to go in and bring all the nurses candy and cards for the specific nurses once I'm fully recovered.
I finally left the hospital at 6pm (18:00).
Once we got home there were bags in front of my door and a note. Unfortunately I was having a rough time with standing and couldn't do everything I should have done. Sorry Hana DX
Anyway, TsundereHana wasn't called into work! She actually left so she could come to my house and decorate the crap out of it and make me an awesome surprise party! There was LoZ:MM stuff everywhere and she had the Song of Healing playing through her phone! It was freaking awesome and the best surprise I've ever gotten. All you guys need a friend like Hana, she's the absolute best and wasn't joking when she said she was going to make my birthday the best!
Thank you again Hana! I love you so much and I'm so happy I have a best friend like you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway tl;dr, the surgery went great and I'm feeling pretty good while recovering. I'm keeping ontop of my medicine and am feeling very little pain (besides when I cough, laugh, or hiccup but that's normal).
I'm very in and out of consciousness but hopefully that will pass as I continue to recover.
Also, thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes you guys are all great and make me feel so loved
I'll update more as I improve. Until then, I'll do my best to keep getting better!
Love and Hugs,
Rose
Update - Surgery Soon
General | Posted 8 years agoHey everyone,
Wanted to give you all an update (since I'm up stupid early after having some tests done for pre-op)
I've gotten everything cleared with my work and will be able to keep my job through all this (thankfully) however since I'm still on probation (6 months of new employee probation, I'm not even 1/2 way through) my leave will be unpaid.
They're projecting about 2 weeks of recovery, but if I'm feeling better before then my surgeon said he will release me back to work (only after the first week of recovery though)
So my off time is going to be spent drawing once I'm feeling well enough to sit at my computer.
So! About the surgery for those of you who are curious. I will be going in on March 1st (My 25th birthday... yes... I get surgery for my birthday this year...) for the surgery. I'm getting Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Laproscopic Gallbladder Removal). Basically they're poking 4-5 holes in my stomach and using long tools to remove my gallbladder, they said we aren't even going to bother just removing the stones as they usually come back after a year or so, so we're just taking it out... good riddens... damn gallbladder...
Given the surgery goes well (which it hopefully will), I'll be going home the same day. I'll have been under general anesthetic (they're putting me to sleep for a little), so I'll likely not be making updates the day of. However I might have my friend Tsundere-Hana give updates over on discord for you guys as she's taken off for the surgery and will be there with me for moral support, like the wonderful wife she is
Anyway, after the surgery the doctor says I'll probably feel pretty bad for 3ish days, I hope not but like... at this point a few more days of pain isn't anything... I'll take that bullet to never deal with this again!
But yeah hopefully when that's all done I'll be feeling wonderful and back to functioning like a normal person!
And of course I'll let you guys know how the surgery went when I'm able to ^^
Also, thank you to everyone who gave me info about this, your help has really put my mind at ease. I appreciate it.
And as always thank you all again for all your love and support! I hope you all are doing well and that things are going good for you in 2018.
Love and Hugs,
Rose
P.S.
I've had someone ask if I have a donation link so I'll post it here for anyone who wanted it (Since I'll be busy with post-op stuff I might not be able to answer, so there it is!) https://www.paypal.me/AM1343

Merry Christmas!
General | Posted 8 years agoJust wanted to drop by and tell you all Merry Christmas.
And if you don't celebrate then I hope you're having a wonderful winter so far!
P.S.
I had a friend ask me if I would ever sing a vore themed Christmas Carrol... I told them that if someone writes one for me or gives me good ideas then I'd be more then down.
I know some of you guys like writing stuff, so if you write it... I will sing it XD

Brace Yourself, Change is Coming... IMPORTANT!
General | Posted 8 years agoSo I have some very important updates for you guys.
(If you don't want to read everything just check the bullet points, those are what's most important.)
Needless to say this holiday season has shown itself to be quite a roller coaster this year. The holidays were kicked off with yet another moving session followed by quite literally everything exploding in my face.
Paying bills the past 2 months have been incredibly hard because income hasn't been very good.
My boyfriend ended up being out of work for almost 2 weeks in the end of November when it should have only taken about 3 days to get back into work. Our car situation became... well... we didn't have a car so once he was back to work we had to pay bus fare for him until we were able to get that fixed (Which may I add is quite expensive if you don't get monthly passes... which are rather expensive themselves...)
And of course to top that all off Patreon decided to screw over their creators. I know a lot of people have lost far too many patrons due to that. I myself lost over half of my support thanks to Patreon's attempt to change things, they may have fixed the issue and retracted their proposal but the damages are already done...
The bright side of things is the reason I've been so quite recently.
I was offered a job at the local university and have decided to take it. Since the beginning of the month I have been doing tons of stuff to get into this job. They've had several tests and a butt-ton of paperwork for me to fill out and I will finally be starting my first day tomorrow.
The job is full time and will give me a chance to live rather comfortably for the first time in several years.
I won't lie, I do still love drawing and loved the past 2 years being self employed as I've gotten to create so much awesome stuff. But at the same time it's been a huge struggle. I honestly only have myself to blame since I let my list get backed up to a point where it should have never gotten in the first place. But when it rains it pours and at the time I didn't see any other options than taking more commissions to help myself stay afloat financially.
Now that I won't be forced to take more artwork when something goes wrong as I will be able to put away funds for emergencies, it will be a lot easier for me to get through what is already infront of me instead of steadily piling more and more onto an already full plate.
Now before everyone starts freaking out, I do not plan to stop drawing and I will still be working on commissions after work most days and on my days off. Art is still something I love and I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. However this new job is going to affect a few things for a little while.
As of right now these are the changes that will be made:
~Commissions will be completely closed. I used to take some commissions for friends and such although my status had been closed in the past. I will no longer be doing this until further notice.
I will only be working on commissions I've already taken and finishing off stream time that has already been purchased or awarded via Patreon Rewards.
So until further notice Commission Slots or Personal Stream Time Slots will no longer be open to anyone.
~Patreon is going to continue to get WIP, HD, and PSD files. However, until further notice there will not be any Patreon Exclusive content (Adventure of Rose and Co. or Patreon Poll Drawings). I am doing this so that I may catch up on what I currently have on my plate. For the Patrons who stick around during this time, I can promise you I'll make this up to you going forward :D
~Patreon Tiers now only go to $25. So all other tiers above the $25 pledge mark have been unpublished until further notice and will likely be reworked if/when they come back.
In fact, my Patreon as a whole is going to be reworked upon me completing my current workload. I will be removing certain tiers, reworking those that I keep, and the Goals will likely get a full revamp as well. I've been wanting to do this for some time and I suppose, since Patreon's scare purged me of several supporters and my new job allowing me to no longer live off my art, 2018 will be a better time than any. Of course current Patrons will be notified of these changes before they happen! And of course I will be asking you all for suggestions in the future! So no worries!
These are the only major changes I can think of at the moment. If there are any others I'll make updates as needed (Been doing too much paperwork today... hard to think of everything I had to say)
But anywho, I'm pretty aware that some people are going to be bummed by this news because they want me to keep doing as I have been, unfortunately it's just not ideal in my current situation.
There are a lot of really good things about being a full time artist and I assure you I will miss them. But there's also some bad stuff as well.
Near the end of the summer this year a lot of things happened. A lot of really bad things that led to changes that are proving to be really good and I'm finally working toward a brighter tomorrow for myself.
The most important thing I realized is that I am in desperate need of financial stability.
I started working toward finding a job that would help me do that and I'm thankful to have found it.
Over the past 2 years I wish I could say that art gave me the financial stability I needed. And of course it probably would have if it weren't for the combination of life events and my own poor management skills brought on by a poor mental state.
I made a lot of mistakes over the past 2 years but I'm happy that I've learned from them and am going to move forward.
And of course I hope you guys will understand why this change is necessary and can forgive me for slowing down with art these past few months. I hope you all will be proud of me and continue to support me in my future endeavors.
For those of you who may be upset about this, I'm sorry you are upset, but I have to better my situation. I've gone far too long struggling to just maintain my existence having little to no wiggle room to improve my situation, I don't want to have to struggle and stress out anymore.
Like I said, there are a lot of good things about being a full time artist, but theres also bad things as well and well... the bad things are currently outweighing the good due to shit decisions on my part. In the future I know I will be better and not make the choices I made in the past.
And for those of you who worry about me returning to the workplace, I assure you this arrangement is quite different than those I've had before. I am going to be working with the same small team at all times, I won't be dealing with people outside my building (ex. Customers). My job is going to be constant and is guaranteed full time with weekends and major holidays off (which is more than I could ask for).
This is the type of arrangement I've been looking for. Problems with previous work situations have been the amount of uncertainty I had to deal with. Will I get 40 hours this week? Will I be working the same days I did last week? Will there be a customer that will give me a lot of trouble? Will the 3 new employees show up to work or will we have to be short staffed again?
These were all things I stressed out about and it essentially led me to being super unhappy.
Thankfully this job has that wonderful consistency I've always wanted as well as a very kind team and management (seriously... my bus pass doesn't come in until a week after I start work so my manager is giving me his bus pass to use until then.)
And of course I've already worked the job a bit so there are no surprises (they had me give each station a little test run during my interview so I could see if it was something I'd be interested in... Needless to say, it is.)
But anyway, I'll stop rambling and get back to my paperwork and organizing everything for tomorrow.
I hope the holidays are going really well for you guys and that you are all happy ^^
Love and hugs,
Rose

Wishlist Meme 2017
General | Posted 8 years agoIt's that time of year again! I really loved doing this last year and seeing all the friends that I could get to join in!
I want to do it again this year and try to get even more people involved!
Of course, just like last year, nobody has to feel forced to do anything on this list, this is just a fun little thing to get us in the holiday mood!
So feel free to join in and pester your friends to join too!
🌟 STEP ONE 🌟
• Make a post to your journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
• If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
• Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
🌟 STEP TWO 🌟
• Surf around your friend's list (or friend's friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...
• If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.
• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
🌟 Rose's 2016 Holiday Wishlist 🌟
Note : I'm doing this because I like doing these little meme things, I'm not actually expecting to receive anything
1. Just like last year, LOTS of hugs! Hugs and kind words make me super happy even if the hugs are virtual.
2. Donate to your local pet shelter! Donate whatever you can, most places prefer cash donations but you can also call your local shelter and see if they are in need of anything. Most of the time they'll be super happy to receive things like old blankets, heating pads, food bowls, leashes, collars, food, etc! I'm sure they will greatly appreciate it. After spending this year volunteering and fostering kittens for my local shelter, I can honestly say it makes you feel like a hero. Unfortunately I'm now in an apartment where I can no longer foster and just said goodbye to my last litter a few weeks ago. But you can bet I'll be fostering again in the future!
If you can't donate money, donate time! Go spend 30 minutes or so up at your local shelter just walking and playing with the dogs, or sitting in a room playing with the cats. The more socialized these guys are the better chance they'll have to go to a wonderful home someday! (And... you know... take pictures of the pets you help and post them to your facebook or something... get the word out!)
TL;DR Donate money, stuff, or your time to a local pet shelter!
3. Fan art of my characters. I love seeing them drawn or wrote about by others. I love seeing them interacting with different characters. It makes me happy to see them getting love. I still have a Fan Art section on my website where I'm collecting all fan art to display!
4. Anything involving Archer EMIYA from Fate. He's my husbando and I love him XD
5. More giant sweatshirts. Just like last year, I still have an obsession with them. I have like 3... but that's not enough... there will never be enough!
6. Fuzzy blankets, socks, pajama pants. Still a fuzzy hoarder... It will never end!
7. A 2DS XL. Unfortunately mine is really getting ready to kick the bucket on me. I still haven't beaten Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Ultra Moon... I play it for a little before I pass out at night and I'll be pretty upset if I can't beat them before my DS actually kills itself without a replacement :/
8. Items from my Amazon. Last year my friend taught me how to set it up for friends to order gifts straight from the list so I don't have to display my address to the whole world. http://a.co/aQ02EW1
9. (This one is for one of my wonderful friends) A Hooters Uniform. I already have a shirt, I just need the shorts, tights, and trainers. I know it's a long shot, but boy would it make my friend's year XD
10. A great 2018 for us all. I'm not sure about you guys, but 2017 was another rough year. Probably the roughest I've seen so far. I just hope it wasn't too bad for you all and of course I wish that 2018 will be great for us all. I know plenty of people could use a break from stress and rough times, and I genuinely hope you all find it next year. Stay strong my dears, we'll make it through.

If you do this meme then send me a link to yours and link my wishlist in your meme and I'll link you in mine ^^ Sharing is caring afterall!
(PS. The earlier you finish yours, the better chance you have of me being able to grant one of your wishes if it's in my powers ;D)
I want to do it again this year and try to get even more people involved!

(And... you know... take pictures of the pets you help and post them to your facebook or something... get the word out!)
TL;DR Donate money, stuff, or your time to a local pet shelter!
3. Fan art of my characters. I love seeing them drawn or wrote about by others. I love seeing them interacting with different characters. It makes me happy to see them getting love. I still have a Fan Art section on my website where I'm collecting all fan art to display!
4. Anything involving Archer EMIYA from Fate. He's my husbando and I love him XD
5. More giant sweatshirts. Just like last year, I still have an obsession with them. I have like 3... but that's not enough... there will never be enough!
6. Fuzzy blankets, socks, pajama pants. Still a fuzzy hoarder... It will never end!
7. A 2DS XL. Unfortunately mine is really getting ready to kick the bucket on me. I still haven't beaten Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Ultra Moon... I play it for a little before I pass out at night and I'll be pretty upset if I can't beat them before my DS actually kills itself without a replacement :/
8. Items from my Amazon. Last year my friend taught me how to set it up for friends to order gifts straight from the list so I don't have to display my address to the whole world. http://a.co/aQ02EW1
9. (This one is for one of my wonderful friends) A Hooters Uniform. I already have a shirt, I just need the shorts, tights, and trainers. I know it's a long shot, but boy would it make my friend's year XD
10. A great 2018 for us all. I'm not sure about you guys, but 2017 was another rough year. Probably the roughest I've seen so far. I just hope it wasn't too bad for you all and of course I wish that 2018 will be great for us all. I know plenty of people could use a break from stress and rough times, and I genuinely hope you all find it next year. Stay strong my dears, we'll make it through.

Winter Holiday Commissions Open
General | Posted 8 years agoHey there everyone!
After the Halloween Themed Commissions I realized that sort of stuff was actually a load of fun!
For those of you who don't know me Halloween and Christmas are my 2 favorite holidays. There's something about seeing houses decorated and people dressing up (both in costumes or winter holiday themed clothes) that just makes me want to explode with happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rules:
I will only take Winter Holiday commissions. So your commission MUST have something Winter themed.
This can be Snow, Santa, Candy Canes, Presents, Christmas Trees, Winter Attire, Mythical Winter Beings, or even Christmas Dinner.
As long as it has something to do with Winter Holidays or Winter then it will pass.
Each commission is limited to 2 Visually Present Characters MAX (If someone has a belly stuffed with people only viewed from the outside, that is fine) This will keep the commission from being overwhelming so that I can guarantee a speedy turnaround time for these guys.
Each commission will be limited to a Single Scene as well for the same reason mentioned above.
I will have a very limited amount of commissions so that I can finish these before Christmas. I know I said that with the Halloween Commissions, but I severely underestimated the amount of work that went into moving as well as recently became an aunt to a sweet little girl. I got side tracked with her squishy adorableness... So I'm sorry for the delay on the last 2, I need to build up a tolerance to adorable.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST THEMED SALE I WILL HAVE UNTIL HALLOWEEN NEXT YEAR! DON'T MISS OUT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMISSION DISCOUNTS
ANYTHING WINTER RELATED WILL GET 20% OFF THE FULL COMMISSION!
THIS DISCOUNT DOES STACK WITH PATREON DISCOUNTS!
Will Do/Won't Do: http://voraciousrose.tk/will-drawwont-draw/
If you are interested my Commission Application can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHIzTTySI2atRIxTOenat2gpDct8vQxTNVZwZnUcNWNjfFsA/viewform?c=0&w=1
And prices can be found here:
http://voraciousrose.tk/commission-prices/
(Note the prices listed do not have discounts added to them, you'll need to do the math yourself if you're curious before inquiring about commissions)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you all are having a great holiday season so far and I hope that you will continue to do so.
I have been doing... Well... I'm trying my best with the shitty hands I keep being dealt, but what can you do?
I still have wonderful friends and family both online and off that make me very happy and keep me going. That's all I could ask for during this holiday season. I'll continue to enjoy the people I love, that's what the holidays are about right?
Love and hugs,
Rose

Commission Sale Update
General | Posted 8 years agoHey there,
Just updating everyone that slots for Halloween Discount Commissions are now closed!
I am however still have 3 more slots available for other commissions.
I've decided to add a few more things to the list of things for discounts, since I've been feeling like drawing them recently.
New additions getting 15% Off Total!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Anal Vore
~Unbirth
~Lolis
~Pregnancy
These are the others that were on the previous list still available for 15% Off Total.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ My Girls (Rose, Thorn, Kassie)
~ Tentacles
~ Fate Characters
~ LoZ: Breath of the Wild Characters
~ Snake Vore
~ Bondage
~ Tail Vore
~ Sex Scenes (Vaginal, Anal, Strap-ons, and Futa Included)
~ Micro Characters interacting with Large Surroundings (Not Vore related, just micro/tiny adventures)
~ Lamia/Naga Vore
Of course these still stack with Patreon, so if you're a Patron who gets a discount, this will stack with that.
If you would like a commission please fill out an application here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHIzTTySI2atRIxTOenat2gpDct8vQxTNVZwZnUcNWNjfFsA/viewform?c=0&w=1
I'm adding more to the list and taking 3 more as I realized my personal food stash is low. My aunt has been buying the food and having me cook it so I haven't had to worry about that. But once I move I'll have to buy my own food again, the boyfriend's stash is also low (otherwise I'd mooch off him XD)
I want to get a little extra money that way hopefully I won't have to just eat Ramen, even though it is delicious, it's not exactly good for the health to live off just Ramen... No matter how much I wish it were okay...

DISCOUNT EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS AND UPDATES
General | Posted 8 years agoHey there everyone!
SKIP TO BELOW THE 2ND LINE IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR UPDATES, THOUGH THEY ARE RELEVANT TO WHY I'M OPENING COMMISSIONS AGAIN.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I wanted to update you guys a bit. So I got all my stuff moved to my aunt's house (with the exception of a few things my dad's girlfriend cherry picked and stole from me... but that's being dealt with)
But since I've been here things have been rather difficult.
Firstly I'd like to address that my aunt and I get along swell, she's very sweet and I love her. However... I've been unable to do much of anything because I've kind of become her house wife.
My aunt is a very capable woman, but she's rather lazy and sloppy.
I'm sure I've expressed to some of you the mess that was this house before I came in and cleaned it up and of course she's been making no effort to help me keep it cleaned.
Essentially I'm the constant caretaker here. Between caring for myself, my foster kittens, and the times I have to go help my sister with her wedding ordeals and seeing my little brother once every other week I also have to take care of my aunt.
I cook every meal for her (which as some of you know can be pretty time consuming depending on the meal), I clean up after her constantly, I take care of her cat (which isn't too hard, but it's still another thing I need to take time out to do), I go shopping for/with her, I do all the yard work (which there is quite a bit of, especially since her brother is anal and requires I do everything a VERY specific way otherwise he calls and complains because he has the next door neighbors keep an eye on our upkeep of the outside...)
Living here has essentially become a full time job of its own. One that I'm not being paid for which is even more annoying because I can't get work done as quickly as I have in the past.
The other reason I'm moving is because my uncle has been pushing for me to get another job if I plan to live here, to the point of calling me every few days to annoy me about the matter, which... since I can't work because I'm playing housewife here, it looks like to him I'm just being worthless thanks to a butt-ton of lies my dad told him. But that's a whole other case of worms I don't feel like getting into because it annoys me.
Thankfully there's a bright side and saving grace in all of this.
My boyfriend has noticed me being rather stressed out about all this and asked me if I would like to move in with him. I've already talked to him about how much I actually like to work when I'm not playing house wife and he's fine with leaving me be after I first move in so I can fly through my commissions like I was prior to the move. Thankfully he's capable and does take care of himself and won't need to rely on me to clean up after him.
So we've cleared this with his land lord and I'm able to move in at my earliest convenience.
Of course this means needing to gather funds to move again and to turn on internet at his place. Before anyone says anything, I know... How the actual fuck do you live without an internet connection at your home? Everyone has internet! He has a large amount of data on his phone but like... that's a phone... You know what, I'll spare you all of my "why the fuck you have no internet?" rant that I gave him XD
Anyway, I know it's probably not a very great idea for me to pile more work on my head at this point, but for the sake of me having a freaking chance to get moved somewhere that I don't have to play housewife and can actually work, I don't really have a choice.
My boyfriend is going to help me as much as he can with the move, but I still have to get the internet turned on there and will likely need to rent another truck to get moved again. (Thankfully I have people to kidnap and force into helping me move this time. BUWAHAHA!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMISSION DISCOUNTS
For the next few days I'll be opening commissions again and having a sale on very specific themes, which I will list below.
ANYTHING HALLOWEEN RELATED WILL GET 20% OFF THE FULL COMMISSION! Because Halloween is awesome, that's why.
I'll also be working my hardest to get any Halloween stuff finished before the month is up, with that being said, I ask that anything Halloween related be limited to a Single Scene for this reason.
There will be a limited number of Halloween slots open though so once those are gone they're gone!
Themes Available for 15% Discount (This will not stack with the Halloween Discount):
~ My Girls (Rose, Thorn, Kassie)
~ Tentacles
~ Fate Characters
~ LoZ: Breath of the Wild Characters
~ Snake Vore
~ Bondage
~ Tail Vore
~ Sex Scenes (Vaginal, Anal, Strap-ons, and Futa Included)
~ Micro Characters interacting with Large Surroundings (Not Vore related, just micro/tiny adventures)
~ Lamia/Naga Vore
BOTH DISCOUNTS ARE ABLE TO STACK ONTOP OF PATREON DISCOUNTS!
If you are interested in helping me out my Commission Application can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHIzTTySI2atRIxTOenat2gpDct8vQxTNVZwZnUcNWNjfFsA/viewform?c=0&w=1
And prices can be found here:
http://voraciousrose.tk/commission-prices/
(Note the prices listed do not have discounts added to them, you'll need to do the math yourself if you're curious before inquiring about commissions)
If you're not able to help it's completely alright! Your love and emotional support still means the world to me and I thank each and every one of you who contact me often to see how things are going. You guys are awesome ^^
Anway, here's to hoping this will actually be the last time I have to move for a little... Because I really REALLY hate moving at this point... Let's all just keep our fingers crossed this will be the last time for a while and that I will finally get some peace to do my work and start bettering myself again.
Love and hugs,
Rose

Calling All Patrons!
General | Posted 8 years agoHey guys!
I know in the past I haven't been the most active person on Patreon due to the entire world exploding and stuff.
However I'm going to really start stepping it up now as I want to be far more active with my patrons than I currently am.
So right now $5+ Patrons should go over to Patreon and check out the update!
I'm going to start doing colored sketches (Right now we're at 2 a month) so make sure you go oven and put in your request for a chance to have it drawn!
Entries need to be made before June 10th so don't miss out!
If you're not a Patron right now, no worries! If you pledge now you can get in on the action this month too!
https://www.patreon.com/voraciousrose
These Patreon requests will be posted on Patreon only for right now. You guys know I really don't like hiding my content behind paywalls and I assure you they will be released at some point, however Patreons will be given early access to them along with the Adventures of Rose pictures that I will be working on now.
And no worries to those who have commissioned me, I'm still going to be working hard on commissions. My time is no longer stretched thin with a sick kitty, so I'm going to be able to sink far more time into commissions as I was earlier this year. I fell off track for a little, but I'm hopping back on and going full steam ahead!

R.I.P. Moo
General | Posted 8 years agoJust wanted to drop by and let you know that we had to have Moo put down.
He got really bad again and since there's nothing we can do to fix it, I just couldn't let him suffer anymore.
I made the choice yesterday and we took him bright and early this morning.
It's been rough cleaning all his things up and putting them away for now. I've taken his collar and am wearing it around my wrist.
It's hard to lie down because he's not there to cuddle up on my chest and give me kisses...
It's... just going to be really hard for a little while...
I'm probably going to be gone for a few days. I need some time to process this and stuff...
I know I recently lost 2 of my grandparents... but I really think this one is hitting me the hardest.
Thank you guys for understanding and being there with us through all this. I really appreciate you all.
Love and Hugs,
Rose

Moo's Gotten Worse...
General | Posted 8 years agoSo I really don't know what to say or do anymore... This past month has just been a giant mess.
I have to put aside the fact that my living situation has just gone sideways and deal with a much MUCH bigger issue.
Moo's health has declined... Again. This time to the point of a seizure that has left him immobile.
It's quite literally tearing me apart that I don't have the financial freedom to get these issues taken care of no matter the cost. I'm working toward having that ability, but I don't have it just yet.
With that being said, I'll spare this journal of me building a word wall here and just keep things brief.
I wish I could take on more work as I hate just asking for money without working for it but I already have myself more than flooded and due to my exploding living situation taking on more work would be very unwise.
Someone said I should make a GoFundMe to help get Moo taken care of. Because if this situation gets better with the medicine he's currently getting, I'm going to need to go to more vet appointments and get more medication for him to keep him on track to being healthy again. If the current medication doesn't work and he declines in health even more, I have to consider the one thing that I genuinely don't want to do but I can't be selfish and let him continue to live a life of pain because I don't want to lose him.
So I made a GoFundMe for Moo with a relatively small goal. I don't actually know how much future appointments are going to cost if he does manage to get better but we'll jump that hurdle when we get to it. I do however know the cost for the negative side, and thus set that as the goal.
https://goo.gl/QLVh0z
Any little bit helps, or even a share to spread the word would be more than helpful.
Just please... Help me to help my baby... He's helped me so much with my mental disorders from the day I met him... I want to be able to give back to him, that's the least he deserves.
It’s been brought to my attention that GoFundMe isn’t a convenient way for people to donate and I was asked to make paypal accessible for those not wanting to use GoFundMe.
If you wish to donate with paypal, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.me/AM1343

If the current medication doesn't work and he declines in health even more, I have to consider the one thing that I genuinely don't want to do but I can't be selfish and let him continue to live a life of pain because I don't want to lose him.
So I made a GoFundMe for Moo with a relatively small goal. I don't actually know how much future appointments are going to cost if he does manage to get better but we'll jump that hurdle when we get to it. I do however know the cost for the negative side, and thus set that as the goal.

Any little bit helps, or even a share to spread the word would be more than helpful.
Just please... Help me to help my baby... He's helped me so much with my mental disorders from the day I met him... I want to be able to give back to him, that's the least he deserves.
It’s been brought to my attention that GoFundMe isn’t a convenient way for people to donate and I was asked to make paypal accessible for those not wanting to use GoFundMe.

Yooooo (Update)
General | Posted 8 years agoI know I recently posted the gift from SolidScale letting you guys know I'm sick.
I went to the doctor's today. I have a fun case of Bronchitis.
I'm doing alright and I should be even better once I start getting medicine in me.
Just wanted to let you guys know. I'm not dying yet!
I'm probably going to be gone for a few more days, at least until I get my prescriptions and they start to kick in.
I haven't been getting very good sleep since I've been up coughing all night for the past week, so I'm pretty drained. But I should be back in action soon!
Hope you guys are doing well.
Love and Hugs,
Rose

Cat Update
General | Posted 8 years agoHey guys, updating as promised.
We finally got an appointment for Moo and got him in to see the vet.
As expected he has a nasty case of ear mites still. However there is no infection so that's good news.
They gave me a flea and ear mite medication and said 1 treatment should get rid of the mites but if for some reason it doesn't to call them and I can get more.
He's also taking fish oil with his wet food every day now because his skin is really flaky. They said that is apparently common with young shelter cats and that the fish oil will help.
As far as his dizziness goes they did a neurological test on him and they said his reactions are all normal.
They asked me things like "Does he tilt his head when he walks? Does he run into stationary object? Does he fall over while walking?" All of which the answers are "No" thankfully.
They said that is good news as any of those things could mean much greater problems.
They said as of right now the amount of gunk built up in his ears from the mites may be the cause of his wobbling and that once we get them cleared up we'll see where he's at.
They said if I notice any of the above symptoms that they asked me about or his eyes flicking rapidly that I need to get him to the emergency vet right away for X-Rays and CT Scans.
For now they've told me to keep an eye on it and if I can get video of him losing his balance when sitting that I should do so and send it to them and they'll take a look. We would have checked that out more at the vet, but Moo hates the vet and goes statue mode as long as he's there.
So for right now we're just doing what we can and waiting to see the results. If things don't get any better we'll look into getting the scans and stuff done, but for right now the vet doesn't see any huge reason to do the scans and put Moo through more stress than he's already been through.
I'll continue to keep you guys updated on how Moo is doing over the next month or so.
As of right now he seems pretty content. He's really digging the fish oil in his wet food (of course) and I've gotten him up and playing the past 2 days surprisingly enough, hopefully he'll continue to be more active.
Also, a little question for the people with kitties. I've been thinking over the past few days about if whether anything in Moo's environment changed around the time he got sick. Besides the fact that I had stopped giving him wet food (which I've already fixed and he's back on it again) I had also changed his cat litter.
Having just 1 cat I like to use the clumping litter since it's easy for me to keep it clean and I don't have to change it out as often.
Anywho, my question is, what brand of litter do you use?
I'm currently using scented litter (my dad picked up the wrong one) and I'm not sure if that would cause a cat to get sick or not.
Anywho, thank you to everyone who's helped Moo, I honestly can't express how grateful I am.
Hopefully this will have him fixed up for good this time!

P.S. Here's a bonus shot of Moo being a big freaking baby at the Vet. He likes to ball up like a little rock and hide his face in my hand, only moving to hiss at anyone who isn't me that touches him.

My Cat Needs Help... 3 Commission Slots Open
General | Posted 8 years agoHey guys,
So I really, really, REALLY don't want to have to do this but if I don't get help for my cat soon I might lose him... And I really don't want that even more.
Just a little backtracking for anyone who isn't a part of my discord group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In August I adopted a 3 month old kitten from the local shelter. He had fleas, ear mites, and tape worm right out of the gate. Thankfully the vet gave me a trial of flea medicine and I was able to get pills for the tape worms. I thought the ear mites were gone as well, but they've since shown me I was terribly mistaken.
About a week and a half ago Moo started acting really weird. He would cry if I picked him up, he didn't want to move from the futon in the other room, and he was hardly eating or drinking. He also wasn't using the bathroom much either. I took him to the vet and $220 worth of procedures later they told me that all the tests came back fine but he was dehydrated so they administered a fluid treatment, gave him pain medication and anti-nausea medication to encourage him to eat again. I brought him home that day and he was still in a bad mood (I would be too after being jabbed with needles and having a thermometer shoved in my butt...)
A few days later he seemed alright again, eating and drinking as usual, and while he was still having some trouble in the potty area, he was still doing pretty good.
Of course, last week comes around and he started acting off again, this time his balance seems super wonky and he keeps falling over. I called the vet right away and they told me it could be as little as an ear infection or as big as a tumor or cancer and suggested I bring him back in. They said we could start small, look into the ear infection/mites and see if that's the cause, and if not we can work from there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately after paying off the first bout of bills and getting him food that will encourage him to use the bathroom regularly again I'm in a bind. I really don't want to lose my cat, more than anything. His presence has been great for me and my depression and I honestly dread thinking of a world without him right now. Infact the last few weeks have been hell because my brain keeps going straight to worst case things.
So with that being said, I unfortunately need to open up a few commission slots. I don't want to have to do this because I'm still working hard to get my current list cleared. But it's either this or watch my cat get sicker and sicker... And I just can't...
If you would like to commission me, all my commission information can be found here:

Thank you guys for any and all help you're willing to give. And I'll be sure to keep you updated on Moo's condition from here on out.
I will also continue to work hard on finishing the remaining commissions I have. I genuinely hope you all have been enjoying the pieces I've been putting out here recently, and I thank any and all of you who have commissioned me in the past and have been very patient and understanding while I've been working to get my life back together.

Q&A Youtube
General | Posted 9 years agoHey guys! So I'm going to start creating Q&A videos over on youtube.
I've been recording my drawing sessions and I plan to make some time lapse videos out of them. I couldn't really decided what I wanted to do BG music wise, so I figured "Why not turn this into a Q&A segemnt?"
So starting today I'm going to begin taking questions for said videos!
To submit a question please visit the form!
Patrons will have priority! So make sure you drop your Patreon username if you're one of my Patrons. You'll still be listed as anon if you chose, you just won't be anon to me at that point, but it's cool, I won't judge.
And make sure to keep an eye out on my youtube to see if your question is answered!
I don't know how often I will post Q&A videos however I'll be sure to make an announcement when I start! I already have some footage set up just waiting for a voice over so hopefully I'll get enough questions to be able to release the video soon!

8 Facts: Rose and Thorn
General | Posted 9 years agoWasn't tagged but I saw this on MythrilMog's journal and thought it looked fun. So here's some random facts about my girls! Enjoy!
Rules
1. Post these rules.
2. Post 8 facts about your character.
3. Tag 8 other characters.
4. Post their names along with their creators' avatars
Rose
1. Despite Rose's "tough pred" demeanor, she secretly likes to submit as prey to her close friends. She finds the experience comforting and usually begs for the safety of a warm belly when she's too stressed.
2. Rose loves being a mini (micro, whatever) she's rather sneaky and mischievous so being little gives her far more opportunities without the fear of being caught. Though she does have to put in more work.
3. She really loves animals and tries to bring home strays all the time. Despite being told "no more pets" by her landlord she still smuggles them in every once in a while.
4. Rose's eye patch and grey hair are the effects of Thorn's presence. Humans aren't meant to be around (or bang) demons as long as she's been around Thorn and the constant stress is starting to show. Her hair has began to grey in the front and the whites of her right eye have dimmed to black. Rose's excuse to your normal everyday person is that she lost her eye in an accident and doesn't like talking about it, and the hair is just a fashion choice.
5. When in a tiny state Rose really enjoys bathing in mugs of tea, making sleeping bags out of socks, riding her (dire) cat, hiding in Tyler's shoes or pockets or jacket hoods, retrieving her cat's toys from under furniture, and taking moths as pets. Among a long list of other things.
6. Rose's least favorite food is beans. It doesn't matter what kind, if it has the word "bean" or looks like a bean, she won't eat it. It induces vomiting and she hates it. This causes problems because her favorite type of food is Japanese... which uses a lot of red bean paste at times.
7. Rose does actually favor a certain brand of shoes. Converse and Vans are her favorites.
8. Rose's spirit animal is a tie between a bat and Mawile.
Thorn
1. Thorn only exists because of Rose. It was originally Thorn's job to bring Rose to Hell for her transformation into a succubus. After Rose's refusal Thorn decided not to go back empty handed and instead would stay with Rose in the human world.
2. Thorn has several different stages between her human appearance and her full demon appearance.
3. Thorn is still learning a lot about the human world. She recently learned about the wonderful world of anime. She's currently watching through "The Devil Is A Part-timer" and curses at the TV because 'none of the characters look like their actual counterparts'... She knows the truth... And she won't let anyone forget it.
4. Thorn is the source of Rose's size changing capabilities. It was meant to be a punishment but failed miserably because Rose was into it.
5. Thorn doesn't like Rose's cat and has declared it her mortal enemy. But that's probably because the cat gets to sleep with Rose every night and Thorn doesn't.
6. Thorn is incredibly afraid of thunder storms. Something about Thor and a fear of her tail being caught under his hammer.
7. Thorn can't sleep without her stuffed sheep. Nobody knows why, but it's really cute.
8. Thorn has a raging boner for angels. She heard somewhere that they are always pure no matter now dirty they are. If you get her drift... *wink wink, nudge nudge*
I don't feel like tagging people in this... so if you want to do this then please do! I'd love to see what random things other characters have going on.
Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you all later :3

I Want To Give Back
General | Posted 9 years agoIf you don't want to read a soppy journal then I'll bold where the important bit is so you don't have to read my emotional stuffs.
This year... Hoboy... It's been something, that's for sure.
Amidst all the madness that this year has brought, I can genuinely say this year has been the absolute worst and best year I've had thus far.
I found out my dad had Stage 2 Colon Cancer and he had to have some major surgeries and go through months of chemo.
I lost 2 of the most important people in my life. My Maternal Grandpa (Mom's Dad) passed in February to Stage 4 Lung Cancer. This event left me as a complete and utter mess. I still miss him dearly but I know he lives on in my heart and I only hope I can manage to make him proud someday. Then in October I lost my Paternal Grandma (Dad's Mom) to Alzheimer's and Cancer. I still can't listen to church music without hearing her voice and sometimes I catch myself humming her favorite songs like she would.
My Maternal Grandma (Mom's Mom) fell and broke her hip in a manner that forced her lower innards upward into her lungs.
Upon adopting my cat I found he had fleas, ear mites, and tapeworm, all of which I had to pay a pretty penny to get cleared up.
And of course there was another huge move from one state to another, my car still being broken which is keeping me from getting back to school, my depression flaring up after the move, and all the other little things that life throws at you on a daily basis.
Then of course there were the good things.
I got myself into a stable home and am working on rebuilding the relationship I missed out on with my Dad due to my Mom's manipulation. That's working out great, I'm happy here and I love being around my Dad.
I actually got a cat! And even though he had a few problems at first he's finally all cleaned up and parasite free! And he's become a part of the family, he snuggles me when I'm sad, sleeps with me at night, and sits on my desk next to me as I work so I don't feel alone. I couldn't ask for a better kitty.
I managed to start trying to conquer my fear of public transpiration and can now ride the train to visit my friends, though I'm still working on the fear of buses.
I started to talk with the family I was turned against by my mother and they've welcomed me back with open arms.
I've been away from the abuse and manipulation of my Mom and Step Family for several months... and it feels so good... Honestly I want to cry just thinking about how much happier I've been since cutting that giant tumor out of my life. I don't have people telling me I'm worthless, calling me names, trying to run my life and hurt me more.
I've started to learn to love myself even more. Each day I find something new that I like about myself. I've stopped putting myself down completely and started to say things like "I'm cute/pretty/beautiful/talented/etc." and it feels soooooo good to be able to love myself like I should have been doing.
I've noticed a huge change in my drawings from the beginning of this year! Do they take longer to draw now? Well... yeah... but at the same time they turn out SO much better to me now that I've started using my new methods. Hopefully with time I'll begin to draw faster as this new style becomes more natural to me.
I've managed to finally get time to sit down and work on commissions much more! It feels good to be releasing so many new sketches (and soon finished pieces!) I feel so much more productive and it's a real emotion booster.
I've made more friends within the community by opening up my Discord group! And that's been a joy for me! I'm always happy to talk to you guys! It's always wonderful for me when I get online and see so many people who care enough to ask me about me to take time out of their lives to ask me about my day and see if I'm doing alright. Of course I wish I did the same thing back much more often and I plan to work on that much more when things settle down in the busy department for me because you guys do mean a lot to me! Hell, you all made me who I am today. If it weren't for all your encouragement and support I don't think I would even have gotten as far as I have. I know I say it a lot, but that's because I truly mean it ^^
Now that I have the good and bad from this year written down, I've noticed how much longer the good list is than the bad. But of course no amount of good things will ever make the bad things less bad, but seeing them side by side puts things in a different perspective.
It shows me that improvement is being made and I'm FINALLY pulling myself out of the hole that I was thrown in to. I've dug my way out far enough that I'm finally starting to see the light and I can't even begin to explain how wonderful it feels.
I hope you all are doing well and are having a good December thus far!
Love and Hugs,
Rose

I don't have people telling me I'm worthless, calling me names, trying to run my life and hurt me more.
I've started to learn to love myself even more. Each day I find something new that I like about myself. I've stopped putting myself down completely and started to say things like "I'm cute/pretty/beautiful/talented/etc." and it feels soooooo good to be able to love myself like I should have been doing.
I've noticed a huge change in my drawings from the beginning of this year! Do they take longer to draw now? Well... yeah... but at the same time they turn out SO much better to me now that I've started using my new methods. Hopefully with time I'll begin to draw faster as this new style becomes more natural to me.
I've managed to finally get time to sit down and work on commissions much more! It feels good to be releasing so many new sketches (and soon finished pieces!) I feel so much more productive and it's a real emotion booster.
I've made more friends within the community by opening up my Discord group! And that's been a joy for me! I'm always happy to talk to you guys! It's always wonderful for me when I get online and see so many people who care enough to ask me about me to take time out of their lives to ask me about my day and see if I'm doing alright. Of course I wish I did the same thing back much more often and I plan to work on that much more when things settle down in the busy department for me because you guys do mean a lot to me! Hell, you all made me who I am today. If it weren't for all your encouragement and support I don't think I would even have gotten as far as I have. I know I say it a lot, but that's because I truly mean it ^^
Now that I have the good and bad from this year written down, I've noticed how much longer the good list is than the bad. But of course no amount of good things will ever make the bad things less bad, but seeing them side by side puts things in a different perspective.
It shows me that improvement is being made and I'm FINALLY pulling myself out of the hole that I was thrown in to. I've dug my way out far enough that I'm finally starting to see the light and I can't even begin to explain how wonderful it feels.
[SIZE=3]So with all that mushy feely stuff aside I wanted to reach out and get some advice from you guys![/SIZE]
I want to do some good for people this year. Of course I still have a rather large work load that I'm working through but I would like to find some little things around the internet that I might be able to do to spread some love and happiness.
One thing I will be doing is posting a video to The Nicest Place On The Internet
The site where you record yourself giving your webcam a big ol' hug!
The idea is that you are giving a hug to someone in need of it through the internet. This is something I've always wanted to do and now I'm going to!
Of course I would like to do more things similar to this as well. I might even take a day to do a charity stream to raise money for the To Write Love On Her Arms Organization
This organization is one I've been following since I was a teen. It's impacted my life quite a bit, so much so that I was asked by my younger sister to tattoo "Love" on her wrist as her very first tattoo to remind her that I love her and that she shouldn't self harm anymore.
I want to do other little things similar to this. I know it's not much, but a little can go a long way!
I plan to be a lot more proactive next year with this sort of stuff, I also want to start a Youtube channel giving advice to teens and young adults who are in situations similar to those I experienced growing up. Because when you're in that situation, you feel like nobody is there for you... And if I can save a life with my advice DAMNIT I WILL!
Anywho, TL;DR
I would like to see if anyone can come up with simple ideas for me to help spread some joy this year around the digital world.
Keep in mind I can't do anything too terribly large (I'm no Markiplier) but maybe me helping with little things can make a few people smile! And of course it will make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, which is a plus!
So if you can think of anything, please let me know. And of course if you're too shy to say your idea publicly you are always welcome to hide behind Anon on my Tumblr I won't judge , I appreciate any ideas that come my way.I hope you all are doing well and are having a good December thus far!
Love and Hugs,
Rose
[SIZE=3]P.S.
More of you should participate in the Wishlist Meme I posted! I want to help grant some wishes if I can! If there are no wishes for me to grant then I'm going to be sad![/SIZE]Wishlist Meme
General | Posted 9 years agoI saw this HoneyKing on FA doing this meme and I thought I'd jump on this bandwagon and hopefully get more friends participating as well! Hopefully some of you guys will join me and maybe I can help fulfill your wishes :3
I guess we'll just have to see!
🌟 STEP ONE 🌟
• Make a post to your journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
• If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
• Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
🌟 STEP TWO 🌟
• Surf around your friend's list (or friend's friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...
• If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.
• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
🌟 Rose's 2016 Holiday Wishlist 🌟
Note : I'm doing this because I like doing these little meme things, I'm not actually expecting to receive anything^^;
1. Lots of hugs! Hugs and kind words make me super happy even if the hugs are virtual.
2. A second set of arms. Nearly impossible, but I can dream XD
3. Things for my kitty. He needs more toys and treats! XD He's spoiled.
4. Fan art of my characters. I love seeing them drawn or wrote about by others. I love seeing them interacting with different characters. It makes me happy to see them getting love. I've also recently set up a Fan Art section on my website where I'm going to be displaying art work!
5. More giant sweatshirts. I've fallen in love with giant sweatshirts, they're soooo freaking warm and fuzzy!
6. Fuzzy blankets, socks, pajama pants. I'm a fuzzy hoarder!
7. Manic Panic Vampire Red hair dye... I can NEVER have enough hair dye!
8. Items from my Amazon. My friend taught me how to set it up for friends to order gifts straight from the list. http://a.co/dqwzMwr
9. A school girl skirt that will work with my butt DX Too much junk in that trunk.
10. WORLD PEACE! If we work together we can do it!
