Journal Update - 5/3/2024
Posted 2 weeks ago☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ JOURNAL UPDATE ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧
WARNING: This journal is heavy, and contains talk of death and suicide involving a friend of mine. So if this sort of material makes you uneasy, please don't read.
Hey everybody, I hope you're all doing well. So um... I wasn't going to write this journal until Sunday, but I decided I couldn't wait, because it's important that I have some form of closure.. My friend Adrianna, who I've been friends with for many years, lost her battle with her depression & her will to live on the 24th of April. Several people would know her by the small handful of alias names she'd used over the years over on DeviantArt, Adiesky, xXSpraying-SkunkXx, and in more recent years, Rose_Jortz, or simply as just, Rosie~ I'd first met her on DeviantArt back in the day when the site wasn't complete garbage. Her and I shared our love for skunks and what they did best, and we both weren't aware of what kinks were at the time lol. That being said, I was about 16 or 17 at the time & she was 14 or 15, and she would attract much older guys looking to ERP with her, being perverted in the comments section and such. I knew that sort of thing wasn't right, especially after I got to know her better and learned she was younger than I was, so I did my best to deter creepy pricks from trying to role-play with her and stuff, at least until she disappeared from the site because her account was banned (why I have no idea, I was never told and I will likely never know for sure..). She would resurface like, a year and a half later with a new account, one that focused more on the kinky side of skunk furs. Apparently I was a huge inspiration for her when I was just starting out with art myself ^w^; However, with her parents discovering her, erm, interests.. She would once again go silent for.. quite a few years until she resurfaced again and we started talking! She loved my artwork and how much I'd improved since she last saw my works, and she wanted to get back into doing art again herself (which she did) and she would go on to make some amazing pieces~ Of course, she had her hardships, she was doing the whole college thing to become a teacher(which, she did), and there was plenty of heartache and drama with her loved ones too. However, her relationship with her girlfriend (who I won't name for Rosie's sake..) had become rather rough for one reason or another, and they sadly parted ways.. This.. changed Rosie, it.. broke her.. She would eventually date again, but only be met with more heartache when her boyfriend at the time tragically and suddenly passed away from health complications. Having her message me when it happened crushed me, but only because I knew how much more it crushed her... I did my best to check on her, to console her as best as I could, and she would trudge onwards with a smile on her face, always smiling and always looking out for other's well-beings, but never alluding to the pain and suffering she was shouldering, before it became too much for her.. From my understanding, she'd left state and went completely silent - turning off her phone and stuff, and cutting off any way to communicate with her. She left behind a pinned notice on her Facebook, saying her goodbyes to her family and students and she disappeared. I'd heard, she may have gone to a hotel in her final hours, and as for the method of her choosing, I do not know, nor do I wish to.. My only regret was not being able to do more for her.. But not even I knew the full extent of her pain or sorrow.. I only hope Rosie is someplace warm and at peace, with other loved ones who were waiting for her on the other side. I hope she had a painless end, and it was a quick one.. My heart aches every time I think about her and her life's story and I miss her dearly.. If there comes a day where we're able to cross paths again, I'm gonna boop her on the nose so hard!! ..And then I'm going to give her a long, long hug..
Artwork - Due to recent events, I've been struggling to do any artwork.. I've been doing small doodles here and there, but nothing major. Grief really is a bitch, and definitely demotivating when you're trying to get some creative stuff done. I'll pick myself up off the ground in due time, just.. it might take me a bit. I plan on keeping the memory of Rosie's characters alive, I'll likely create entries in my ToyHouse with artwork of them, but we'll see.
Gaming - I've been trying to play some games here and there to keep my mind distracted. Hyping myself up with new game trailers for the games I've been looking forward to, and even focusing on the fact that my wife (bless her~) is getting me a new computer when her income taxes come back.. But it's easier said than done.. Because try as I might, this depression and grief isn't so easily beaten.. I'll keep trying though.
Collectibles - My mother reached out to me a little while ago and is getting ready to send me yet another package of my stuff. What she'll send me, I have no idea, but I am excited about it. I also got a new Transformers figure the other day thanks to my brother, and he even went and ordered me like, 2 more? They have yet to arrive in the mail, but they're on the way apparently. Other than that, nothing else of mention has really happened, at least not yet.

Journal Update - 4/21/2024
Posted a month ago☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ JOURNAL UPDATE ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧
Hey people, how's it going? Good I hope? I suppose it's time to just get right into it. Lately I've been sort of.. Depressed? Well, actually, yeah. Depressed is a good word for it. I've felt anxious for no reason, and I've been feeling so pent-up and angry that I wanna lash out at everybody, even if they haven't done anything to deserve it.. But at the same time, I've felt like I've just wanted to disappear.. Not so somebody will notice me mind you, but because I feel like I don't mean anything to anybody besides being a tool, because they could very well just take care of stuff on their own. But I know if I stopped doing what I always end up doing, it wouldn't get better, and I'd either be berated for it, or I'd hear excuses and such.. But at the same time, I also feel like I WANT somebody to reach out to me. To hold me and tell me I don't have to keep going because it'll be okay. I feel like recently, I'm constantly at war with myself, and it's just been dragging me down. Nobody asks me to do anything with them, and when they do, I feel like they're only asking out of obligation rather than just wanting to spend time with me.. And this in turn has affected my mood to really do much of anything.. I know this will all blow over because a lot of it is in my head, but it still bothers me and affects me regardless.. I am sorry for those of you who read this and it causes you to worry, it's just something I wanted to get off my chest. On a more positive note, I've left Twitter. That site has seriously gone downhill, and all I ever see on there besides porn and drama, are memes that aren't funny and political crap I simply don't care about. That and the bots. Soooooo many bots. I can now be found on BlueSky, in case any of you wish to give me a follow on there. I might not have a presence on there, but at least the 30-something people who do follow me, are actual people lol. On another happy note, my wife says she's going to get me the new computer I've been wanting once we get our taxes back. I'm not gonna hold my breath (even though I'm a skunk~) but I can't help but feel at least a little excited. All I literally need is a new tower to replace my laptop. I have a brand new back-lit keyboard, a pretty decent mouse, and I use my HDTV as a monitor, so I'll be set~ In the off chance things don't go as planned (as they usually don't) I've started saving up money here and there in order to one day get a better computer so I can finally do stuff I've been wanting to do, like streaming on Twitch and making some actual video reviews for my super-dead YouTube channel. Also, I've decided to change up my journal's format and do away with the Misc. section, and just talk about all that kind of stuff first, and everything else afterwards. But yeah! If you've read this far, I just want to say thank you. I'm going to try and get back into writing journals every Sunday, even if nobody reads any of this. Because at the very least, it makes me feel better and helps with my mental state.
Artwork - Lately I've been approached by a few people who wanna commission me! and as exciting as that is, I'm not ready to take on any commissions for anybody right now thanks to my depressive state.. I can't in good conscience work on something without giving it my best, it just wouldn't feel right. So I've instead been trying to just.. Focus on myself and stuff I actually wanna do, at least until I feel better.
Gaming - I've been all over the place with this one lol. New content for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is on the horizon, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero continues to release small previews and updates (no official release date yet -_- ) and I've even been thinking of getting the Dragon Ball Super card game for the Switch~ I've also been playing God of War Ragnarok (again~), and Warframe off and on. I really need to work on Warframe, because I'm stuck on a part of the story which has given everybody problems ever since it's release, that being Excalibur Umbra. My issue is my operator is severely under-leveled, and I don't have any of the skills or builds necessary to take on the story and press forwards. And I can't have anybody carry me through it either because it's single-player. I've seen some exploits and cheats to get past the part of the story easily, but quite frankly? I want to EARN my progress and the ability to use Umbra without having to rely on such tactics.. I know, pride before the fall and all that, but that's just how I am..!
Collectibles - A lot of stuff has happened in the recent months, which has once again led to my Transformers collection being put on display in my bedroom. I'm not complaining mind you, I actually feel happier having them all in my room again, even if it means a little less space lol. I've also been getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh! again, and with the reveal of the new core booster set revolving around Exodia, I'm super excited! More excited than I have been since the release of Elemental Heroes from the GX era, even! I've also started getting back into Bayblade! I have quite a few, but I know like.. next to nothing about all the current stuff, so I'm going to start fresh and watch the very first series and just.. work my way up I guess? lol
☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ Quick Notes ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧
☑ My mental state is garbage & depression sucks.
☑ Getting back into old hobbies is fun.
☑ Excalibur Umbra can suck my big toe!
☑ Lots of Dragon Ball hype right now!

Journal Update - 03/14/2024
Posted 2 months agoThis won’t be a big entry or anything, just throwing it out there that today’s my birthday~ So happy Birthday to me I suppose lol. It’s also National PI Day~!
Journal Update - 2/2/2024
Posted 3 months ago☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ JOURNAL UPDATE ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧
Artwork - It's been slow for me the last couple of weeks, because I've been sick. Not with Covid or anything mind you, just the usual seasonal bull crap I deal with. Migraines, minor headaches, slight joint pains and fevers. I've bounced back from it already, I'm just getting my bearings is all. I have some gift art lined up that I need to get finished before I do anything else, but afterwards I "should" be open for commissions or art trades in case anybody's interested ^w^
Gaming - I've been all over the place in this area. I finally started my file on Poke'mon Scarlet after owning it for over a year and not touching it, there's been a TON of development for Dragon Ball Z: Sparking Zero, annnnnnnd I had a copy of PalWorld purchased for me which I have yet to play lol.. Thanks to the Cross-Save and Cross-Play features, I've finally gotten back to playing WarFrame, which has been really nice, but there are other games I need to get back to playing as well, but all in due time I suppose.
Collectibles - Okay, so! Not a big secret if you know me well enough, but I'm a big freaking nerd. I collect all sorts of memorabilia, be it replica weapons from cartoons and anime, to all kinds of different toys I enjoy fiddling around with and eventually reviewing on YT! That being said, I've been trying to save up money to purchase a Titan-Class Transformers figure, and then HasLab went and dropped like.. the BIGGEST bomb on me I never imagined possible. That being a re-made, re-done Transformers: RiD (2001) version of Omega Prime, complete with all the bells and whistles one could possibly imagine~ And thanks to a dear friend of mine, I was able to be one of the 10,000 backers for this HasLab exclusive. The campaign doesn't end until the 14th of March (my birthday, heh..), so I'm still going to be cautiously optimistic, but my excitement is through the roof! I also recently re-arranged my bedroom and such, and my brother purchased the last of the Insecticons I was missing from the Legacy line, that being Bombshell~!
Miscellaneous - Life has been up and down as of late, I suppose. I'm patiently waiting for us to be able to purchase the house we're living in so my name can go on the property deed, it's a similar situation with my name needing to go on a vehicle, and I have yet to order a brand-new birth certificate. All of this of course, is for the sake of my case with my Immigration Lawyer in order to get my Citizenship so I can start working again. And this has become even more stressful and important to me, because my wife now wishes to try and have some kids, despite her health not being 100%. We need to talk to her OBGYN and see what they think first of course, but yeah.. It's.. a scary time for me.. Other than that though, life has been pretty good. I sometimes lament the way I spoke or acted in the past, and wish I could do right by my old friends who no longer talk to me today, but the past is the past I suppose. No use in trying to live in those moments, it's better to push onward.
Welp! That's it! Aside form it being cold and miserable off and on, I think I've covered everything lol. If you got this far and actually read everything, thanks a lot!
☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ Quick Notes ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧
☑ Still saving for the Nemesis, and I MIGHT possibly get the new Omega Prime figure~
☑ Completed my Legacy Insecticon trio, it's my first time having all 3 G1 incarnations of the characters!
☑ STILL gathering together the crap I need for my citizenship, because I've not waited long enough apparently..
☑ Re-arranged my bedroom and stuff, might post pictures!
☑ Been sick for like, 2 weeks off and on, but I'm feeling well enough to do artwork again.
☑ My wife wants to have a baby and I'm still grappling with the concept and over-thinking things.

Journal Update - 7/30/2023
Posted 9 months ago✪𝐙 JOURNAL UPDATE ✪𝐙
Hello all my friends, watchers, fellow furs & nerds alike~ Just your friendly neighborhood skunk, giving an update on yours truly. Feel free to read on or just skip to the quick notes below if you don't feel like a long read, whatever floats your boat. That being said, lets get into it shall we~?
Artwork - If it hasn't been obvious, this area of my life has been a bit slow as of late. I would like to say it's because I'm burned out & such, but no. It's actually because I've just been really busy. I'm playing catch-up with a long-overdue commission I owe (which is thankfully super-close to being finished...) and then juggling that with the house work I've been doing along with other more pressing matters I've needed to tend to. That being said, I do have a small list of artwork I wish to draw for some people (you know who you are) and hopefully I can get started on all of that soon! A note on that, however. About requests. If you happen to be reading this, and I don't know you very well? Don't ask. I have it written on my profile page, but I'll say it here as well. It doesn't matter if you've been watching me for a week, a few months, or even for a few years. If I don't know you, or interact with you on an almost-regular basis, don't expect anything from me. Period. I reserve requests for people who are my f r i e n d s. And in case you needed more clarification. I mean people who actually spend time with me & such on occasion and actually don't ask for stuff. You can ask me for a request, but the answer 90% of the time will be no. If, by chance I DO offer to draw something for you however? Don't take it for granted. If you really want some artwork from me, you can either commission me, do an art trade with me, or enter one of my raffles when I decide to throw one. You can find explicit details on my front page, so go and actually read it if you haven't yet~
Gaming - I wanna say I've been doing a lot of this, but I haven't sadly.. I've been playing Dokkan Battle & Bleach: Brave Souls when I have the chance, but I haven't really been touching stuff like Diablo 4 or Zelda: TotK like I've wanted to.. With the current stuff going on as of recent, I just haven't had the time or energy. Hopefully when things calm down and I don't feel so overrun or depressed, I'll be able to get back to playing the games I've been wanting to play for a while now.
Collectibles - Nothing really new or exciting in this department. We went into the city the other day and I was able to get one of those random collectible grab bags with the chibi anime character key chains. This one featured Bleach characters, and I actually got one of the special characters, that being Toshiro Hitsugaya. So that was neat~ My wife got a grab bag, too featuring characters from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and she got Sally wearing a Summer dress~
Miscellaneous - Okay, so~! First and foremost. We now have 6 cats... three kittens, and our other three cats we've always had.. I've never had to clean out litter boxes so many times in my life before now, my god.. I love them all to death, because they're my babies, but my GOD.. They get into everything & just.. they're a handful lol.
The kittens aside, we went to look at a house the other day, and we're 'possibly' going to buy it. And if we do, that means we'll be moving. Again. And that in itself is stressful -_- But on the other hand, it's a really nice house with everything we could possibly need, and the upkeep isn't expensive either. And it'll be our house, so no more paying rent to a bunch of damn slum lords who sit on their asses pretending to do a bunch of crap when in reality they couldn't care less about us as long as we pay our rent whenever they want it.. But yeah.. We'll be figuring out the details for sure come Monday when we go to the bank and figure out our options to move forwards.
We went to the city, like I mentioned earlier, because SSDI wanted my wife to get an exam/check-up, as though they were expecting her to 'magically' get over her disabilities, illnesses & chronic fatigue and get better. Even the people who were helping us were confused about why she was there, doing the tests & such.. It was honestly dumb to begin with.. But on the other hand, I got to finally try Marble Slab ice cream for the first time. I got Coffee Lovers (obviously) and I loved it~
Last but not least, things have been progressing slowly but smoothly with my citizenship. Been getting things here & there together for my Immigration Lawyer. Hopefully though I'll be able to get things moving along a little faster in the coming months. Possibly moving to a new house is going to slow things down a bit, but it's necessary. I'll post more updates as I go & keep those of you who care up to date~
✪𝐙 QUICK NOTES ✪𝐙
☑ Almost done with playing catch-up art-wise, still wanna do some artwork for a handful of people.
☑ Haven't played much games due to being busy, mostly mobile games.
☑ Got a new collectible keychain from the Bleach anime.
☑ We now have 6 cats & a dog, because clearly we need more animals to take care of~
☑ My case for USCIS is coming along slowly but surely.
☑ We may be moving again sometime soon this year.

Journal Update - 6/25/2023
Posted a year ago✪𝐙 JOURNAL UPDATE ✪𝐙
God damn it has been a MINUTE since I've posted a proper, full-on, in-your-face journal! Well, if you're interested in what I have to say, read on, dear viewer! And if not, feel free to scroll down to the Quick Notes so you can get the gist of what's been happening in my life's story!
Artwork - Ooooookaaayyy~! So.. To start off, all of you who've added my work to your favorites, commented on my works & have been just.. super supportive overall, thank you. It means a lot to me whenever I see so many favorites & get comments with positive feedback~ That being said! The reason I wiped my gallery clean, was because I had a bit of a mental break-down & my O.C.D refused to leave me alone, and the more I looked at my gallery and how unorganized it felt, the more I got a hair up my ass about it until finally I snapped.. And well, that's why I'm now taking my sweet time with re-uploading all my artwork on here, new & old, and making sure everything is better organized & has a proper place. It sounds like a lot of work (and it is) but it's also been very therapeutic for me, giving me a sense of control over the chaos that is my life at the moment.. I'm sure I'm not alone in this regard, I've seen & followed plenty of other people who've done the same, or just straight up wiped their account and started a new one, because reasons, and I get it! So no judging from me lol. That being said, dunno if it's become obvious or not, or if I've even mentioned it, but I am now taking written commissions! I've retired on doing comics because they just.. take up waaaay too much of my time and energy, but somehow, written stories don't really do that to me?! ..I dunno, I'm odd like that. But yes! If you wanna take a look at my commission section, you can do so here, or just go to my main page and follow the link from there!
Gaming - So! Let's switch gears and talk about some gaming, shall we? Recently, I got the platinum trophy for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I love the R & C series, I definitely should do more fan art for it~ All the weapons & gadgets are so much fun to mess with~! I need to finish getting the platinum trophy for Up Your Arsenal at some point as well, but all in due time! I've also been playing Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom off & on, just enjoying my time with it really. I have yet to beat it because I've taken a break, but I'm getting there~ The reason for that break, is (aside from stress) I recently picked up a copy of Diablo 4 & have been playing it with my family.. Now, I think the game is fun, and I'm certainly not one of those die-hard, try-hard fans who are adamant about Diablo 2 being the absolute best in the series and will die on that hill.. Because I've played 1 & 2, and where I do love them, frankly, I really enjoyed 3 a lot more! As for 4 though.. I have.. Reservations with it.. For starters, it doesn't matter what world you're playing on, you're always surrounded by other players now. It's a constant, online thing.. Like, I enjoy playing with other people don't get me wrong, but I like doing it on my terms, when I feel like inviting them on my adventure to the burning Hells! Like, this is MY story, and if I want you to be part of it, I'll ask! ..And then, there's the cosmetic bullshit. It is almost always CONSTANTLY in your face! "Buy platinum coins to purchase blah, blah blah!" and other crap like that.. I understand Blizzard literally thrives on microtransactions now, but seriously? If I'm interested, I'll go to the shop tab you've conveniently created, so please, stop with the pestering advertisements & let me play the damn game!
Collectibles - This area's been a little busy lol. For starters, I now own the ENTIRE 1st season of cast characters for Transformers: Beast Wars! ..I mean, I have for a while now, but that's besides the point! I ended up having my pre-order for Legacy Beast Wars: Inferno cancelled & instead just got him off of EBay, because Hasbro Pulse sucks with their shipments.. But otherwise, yeah! My brother also recently got me a 3rd party Transformers figure, based on I.D.W comic's version of Predacon Rampage!! And he's very basic, but a lot of fun, and he's frigging big~ Getting him has cemented me with wanting to get the O.G 90's Trans-Metal figure. I also really wanna get my hands on a Trans-Metal II Megatron (old one, 3rd party or Legacy, I don't care), and a Transformers Armada: Tidal Wave at some point. But, sadly for me, I'll have to wait until I can actually afford it, because those figures are old & pricy =_=; On a different note though, I got my wife's boyfriend & my brother back into Yu-Gi-Oh! So I hape people to play with IRL for a change. We're also (hopefully) getting back into M.T.G so we have plenty of variety~
Miscellaneous - And now on to the more.. boring segment of this journal, all the crap I wanna talk about but don't wanna talk about at the same time, but if I don't talk about, it'll fester in my soul and rot me away from the inside out like a bad cup of coffee..! Soooo My green card situation. Yeah.. It's been going good! My wife & I have been collecting stuff for my case which my lawyer asked for, and then we moved out of my in-law's house! ..Oh, right, yeah. We moved, don't remember if I mentioned that in a previous journal or not, but.. like.. we're right across the street from my in-law's now, so we didn't move very far, but we moved regardless lol. So anyway! We got busy with moving, and I hadn't made contact with my lawyer for a little while. We thought it was no big deal, especially because he never gave us any notice or whatever. And so, a little while after my roommate got his tax returns back, he decided to be my sponsor since he meets the standard requirements! So he signed the papers and such, and I went to submit them, only to discover.. My online profile was.. gone.. I thought maybe I entered the wrong information for my log-in, orrr maybe the site was having issues? ..No.. It had apparently been a year since I last talked to my lawyer without me even realizing it, so he was going to close my case!!! Sooo yeah.. I now message him periodically to make sure he knows I'm still alive & gathering stuff for my case. I had to re-do the big-ass questionnaire & re-enter all my basic information for my wife & I, but thankfully I got the majority of it done.. Now we're just gathering together some other stuff to scan & upload for my lawyer, and hopefully sometime before the end of this year we can submit my case for review & I can get this ball rolling at last..
And thus concludes, my information broadcast! Good night!

Alllllrighty!
Posted a year agoSo! Apparently there are more of you lovely people than I thought who’ve been patiently waiting for me to re-post my stuff lol. It’s really nice to know, in all honesty, kinda gives me a confidence boost~ That being said, I have begun the slow-ass process of getting my work back up on here! I’ll be starting with a LOT of my old work first, and just, kinda go from there. If you wanna see my more recent works before I eventually post them on here, you can visit my Twitter!
Level-Up
Posted a year agoIs my borfdai. That is all ._.
Commissions Open!
Posted a year agoLike the title says, I'm open for commissions, so if you feel interested, by all means note me on here or message me on my Discord~! You can view my prices and details HERE!
Okay so... Bare with me...!
Posted a year agoI've amassed a LOT of artwork over the last few years, weather drawn for me, or it was gift art. All the same, I've been looking over my galleries and everything feels like it's in disarray.. So I think... I'm gonna wipe the slate clean, re-organize & create folders (while deleting others) and just work from the ground up.. It sounds like a lot of work, but my O.C.D just won't leave me alone about it and it's making me unhappy :( So I need to fix everything before I go crazy >n<
Small But Important Update!
Posted a year agoI wanted to let you lovely people know that I've updated and re-adjusted my commission section + prices (they're cheaper now lol). I've created a new commission option for written stories in case any of you actually enjoy my writing~ I've also updated my payment options to include Venmo, the link can be found on my front page in bold.
And last but not least, next month I will be open for commissions! If you wish to learn more, feel free to visit my Commissions section~!

Journal Entry - 12/31/2022
Posted a year ago✪𝐙 JOURNAL UPDATE ✪𝐙
Behold, my FINAL journal of 2022~! There’s not a whole lot that can be said really besides “what a crazy year, I want my refund”. I’ll make this journal short and sweet I suppose, and talk about my Christmas~!
My Christmas was good! I received two Pokémon games from one of my best friends, my wife bought me Transformers Studio Series 86 Preceptor & God Of War: Ragnarok, one of my significant others purchased a long, sought-after gift for me which has yet to arrive in the mail, another one of my best friends purchased Bumblebee movie Arcee for me (It was actually his fiance’ but I love them both lol), and most importantly of all, the house I live in finally had it’s heat turned on, just in time for us to be slammed with a huge snowstorm 2 days before Christmas! We’re still waitin’ for our hot water heater to be hooked up so we can take showers in our own home, but it’s a start~!
Annnd that’s it! I hope everybody has a wonderful New Year’s Eve, and here’s hoping 2023 is a MUCH better year for all of us~

Behold, my FINAL journal of 2022~! There’s not a whole lot that can be said really besides “what a crazy year, I want my refund”. I’ll make this journal short and sweet I suppose, and talk about my Christmas~!
My Christmas was good! I received two Pokémon games from one of my best friends, my wife bought me Transformers Studio Series 86 Preceptor & God Of War: Ragnarok, one of my significant others purchased a long, sought-after gift for me which has yet to arrive in the mail, another one of my best friends purchased Bumblebee movie Arcee for me (It was actually his fiance’ but I love them both lol), and most importantly of all, the house I live in finally had it’s heat turned on, just in time for us to be slammed with a huge snowstorm 2 days before Christmas! We’re still waitin’ for our hot water heater to be hooked up so we can take showers in our own home, but it’s a start~!
Annnd that’s it! I hope everybody has a wonderful New Year’s Eve, and here’s hoping 2023 is a MUCH better year for all of us~
Take care everybody!

Sooo...
Posted a year agoJust a quick journal so people aren't super confused.. I was going to use my F.A strictly for adult stuff & my Buzzly for P.G stuff, but it seems that even some of my P.G stuff is being labeled as adult by staff & admins over on Buzzly, even when there aren't any real adult elements involved (i.e exposed or perky nipples, stuff like that). The majority of said stuff that keeps being marked as 18+ is skunk-related of course.. So~! I will be doing re-uploads of various art pieces which are like, mature at worst, or stuff which contains pheromones, scent-play, and of course skunk spray/scent stuff. I do apologize for the spam lol
Journal Entry - 12/11/2022

So~! It's been a minute since I've written one of these entries, but here we are~ Let's jump right into it shall we~?
Art - Kicking off with the big things I suppose. My artwork~! As you may or may not have noticed, the P.G rated stuff (or at least what I consider P.G..) has disappeared from my gallery~! I am once again going to dedicate my FurAffinity account to my Adult-Only material! If you wish to view my P.G rated artwork & such, you can take a visit to my gallery over on Buzzly. Buzzly is still a very new platform, and I've been using it for a little over a month now. It's like what DeviantArt used to be, before Eclipse was implemented. Only it has all the good features and none of the terrible ones~ The one down-side to the site is you need a passcode in order to join the site, much like ToyHouse. But even then, those codes aren't hard to come by if you know where to look or who to ask~
Gaming - Things have been pretty fun in this area~ I'm slowly playing through God Of War: Ragnarok on my PS4, occasionally I'll be playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 & Monster Hunter: Rise - Sunbreak on my Switch, and of course, I'm always playing Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, with a bit of Dragon Ball Legends on the side. I am however, expecting two games for my Switch in the mail, those being Pokemon: Sword, and the newest title, Pokémon Scarlet. I haven't seriously played a Pokémon game since.. frigging Ruby. I never invested in getting any of the Gameboy handhelds back then, like the 3DS and such, so the later titles after Ruby were beyond my grasp, that and Pokémon just kind of fell out of favor for me. Why, I have no idea~! I was probably obsessed with other stuff like Digimon & Yu-Gi-Oh & other stuff. But now I'm getting back on the Pokémon bandwagon, I've even started collecting the cards again~!
Collectibles - This is an area which hasn't had a lot of action, but in the coming year that shall change~ Recently, I've gained a few new figures to my collection, and I'm also looking after my best friend's Transformers collection because he recently moved, and doesn't have any space for them at the moment in his house. I've also moved, but I have a lot more space lol. Speaking of which, I now have a separate garage from the house, and my wife & I are going to clean it out and use it for streaming & such. I myself am going to be building a proper review station for my collectibles (not just Transformers) so I can finally get my review channel on YouTube back up & running! The biggest news about this that has me excited the most however, is my mother has FINALLY started sending me small packages containing parts of my collection from Canada~!!!! It only took her like.. 10 years, but it's finally happening lol. I received a package in the mail last month which had a small handful of my figures & some home-made chocolate (my mom's becoming a chocolatier) for my family & friends to try, and she's going to be gradually sending me my stuff. She's asked if we can send her some money in return, since sending even small packages to the U.S isn't cheap, but that's something we can more than handle doing as thanks.
Etc. - Things in the new house have been slowly progressing. We've FINALLY got a plumber & other people contracted to come over and fix everything that needs to be fixed, and we've been doing our own small repairs & additions in the meantime. I & the rest of my household sadly caught the RSV virus that's still going around the U.S, because family members came over who were sick with it but didn't know. I'm still coughing up phlegm & have minor sniffles, but I'm mostly over it. Been re-arranging my room & adding stuff here & there I'm still working on that, just haven't had the energy to move any large furniture just yet, like my bed lol. My cats finally had a vet visit & got their updated shots, they need to have some dental work done, but we need to save up money for that first, and my dog needs to go in and get spayed, because she keeps trying to hump peoples arms or legs every time she gets excited, lmao! Aside form that, there really isn't much else to mention. Christmas is just around the corner, and soon the new year will be upon us. I only hope next year is better than this year was. It likely won't be, but I can be optimistic about it at least..

Journal Entry 3/14/2022
Posted 2 years ago✪𝐙 JOURNAL UPDATE ✪𝐙
Hello all you wonderful people, your friendly neighborhood skunk here just giving an update on the thing we call life~
Artwork - I've been busy off & on in this field. Near the start of the month I was pretty busy, but as it's rolled on I've become progressively more busy. However I am getting back to it. I have a commission I need to finish, some gift art I wanna get done, and some personal pieces I'd like to attend to, most of them involving the series I started calling it Skunk'D. So yeah! I'm plenty busy, but I shall indeed be getting some more artwork done sooner rather than later, and I hope you look forward to it~
Gaming - Not a whole lot has happened here. I found out I need to spend at least $5 on Steam to have my account verified (which is stupid), I've started seriously saving for an Oculus Rift, I've downloaded Lost Ark so I can start playing it with my wife, and I FINALLY got a friend of mine to play the physical version of Yu-Gi-Oh with me~! I also found a copy of my all-time favorite Sonic game for my PS3 in GameStop (Sonic Generations), and my wife & I got our copy of Horizon Zero Dawn II: Forbidden West for our PS4.
Collection - I have quite a few Transformers added to my collection since I last updated on it, in fact.. My Autobots & Maximals now have their own separate shelf while my Decepticons & Predacons have theirs, which is nice, because I need more baddies lol. I also got some Funko Pop figures (even though I told myself I'd never collect them) & my wife & I have also discovered small, scented skunk figurines called Whiffies that we're now collecting thanks to my friend Lavender who introduced them to me lol. I also got a crap-ton of new Yugioh cards, so I've been updating my decks.
Misc. Stuff - Guess we'll tackle the boring crap first, it's my birthday today~! I'm now 32 (though it doesn't feel like it), my wife, her boyfriend, one of my best friends and I all went out to the city on Saturday and had dinner at a Chinese buffet, I had some stuff bought for me, yadda yadda yadda.. And today, it's just me and my wife spending the day together, watching movies and binging on a bit of junk food~ In other news, we now own a puppy (she's getting big) named Elizabeth May, she's a pure bred Australian Sheppard. We're training her to be a service dog for my wife~ We're also finally getting crap together and moving into our own house(hopefully by April), so my in-law can have all her space back, and we're getting all my paperwork and stuff I need filled out so I can get my green card and finally go back to work. So yeah! Things have been pretty good. The only thing that wasn't all that great is a friend of mine named Lyden died recently in a head-on collision with a semi just outside of the town I live in. A service will be held in memory of him towards the end of the month. I wasn't the best of friends with him or anything, but I knew him well enough and I saw him on occasion. We'd talk and joke about stuff, and he'd always take fun jabs at me for being Canadian, joking about how we had our milk in bags n' stuff, always made me laugh. Lyden was young too, just starting life in all honesty.. He didn't deserve to go out like the way he did.. I only hope he's in a much better place & he's at peace.
But yeah, that's about it really! Feel free to read everything or just the quick points, it's all the same to me~

Hello all you lovely people, your friendly neighborhood skunk here to give yo the down low of what's been happening in my neck of the woods~ Feel free to read on, or you can just skim the quick notes if you aren't in the mood for a long read lol.
Art - For the past little while I've been hard at work with gift art, and I'm still not done with it all lol. But it's not going anywhere, so I'm also working on other stuff on the side. With that being said, this month I am open for commissions & art trades, so if any of you are interested, please don't hesitate to note me~! I've also decided on a schedule of sorts, I think I'm going to start opening commissions every other month, and then in between I'll take breaks or just work on gift art as I see fit. It sounds like a great idea in theory, but I need to put it into practice first lol.
Gaming - A lot of stuff has been happening on this front! For starters, I now own a regular Switch of my very own thanks to a wonderful friend of mine, and I'm gonna pay him back somehow for being so kind >w<! I've also been using my Steam account for a change, I started messing around with VRChat, and in doing so I've become friends with two wonderful ladies who're also fellow skunks! And one of them very kindly gifted me a copy of Phasmophobia on Steam! I love paranormal stuff, (I mean, I got married on Halloween..?) so I'm excited to give this game a try, even if I'll be terrible at it and potentially get murdered in an abandoned house or prison or school or asylum lol..! And then there's Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.. Legendary Pack 2 is FINALLY here, and will be released this upcoming Friday~!!! There's a TON of content for this DLC pack, so much so that I recommend you just watch the trailer here! And of course, one of my best buddies also went and bought me The Killing Floor on Steam as a gift. I've never played it, but it does look like fun, so I'm certainly willing to try it out for sure~!
Toys & Such - Not a whole lot has happened in this area. I now own a good number of deluxe figures from Transformers: Kingdom, my recent addition being Predacon Scorponok, and I'm now only missing Taigatron to complete my cast of Maximals from season 1, and one of my best friends wants to get me the Ark figure, but that remains to be seen.. I still have my hopes up though~! My mum is supposed to be sending me my stuff through the mail, but she had to have surgery on her ankle as of late, so that's been delayed.. Which, I'm not surprised of course, because this has happened more times than I care to count. I wanna believe she'll send me my stuff through the mail, but chances are I'll wind up getting my green card before that and just visit my mother back in Canada and take my stuff back home with me... But that aside, I recently got a new (albeit small) shelf for my collection, and it looks pretty nice~ I also have my eye on two model kids which are Yu-Gi-Oh! related, the Millennium Puzzle (which is a legit puzzle you can put together) & the box which contains the pieces for it~! Sadly they're two separate model kits & not a set, but it hardly matters to me, I just know the kits look fantastic & I'll definitely be saving up money to get them~
Other Stuff - So! On to the more boring, less fun stuff I suppose.. My wife's court hearing to (hopefully, fingers & toes crossed) receive SSDI is coming up. We've been fighting to get it for some time now, and other friends of ours have told us that it usually takes about three tries before they grant it to those who are eligible. And given my wife's super crappy list of health problems, we've been told she should have been given SSDI a long-ass time ago.. So we're hoping this will be the last time we need to worry about going to court for this.. Because if she does win her case & starts getting disability, we'll be able to afford a lawyer so I can get my citizenship & stuff and I can get back to working~! We'd even be able to afford taking care of bills or look for our own home in due time..! So yeah, here's hoping... On the medical side of things, my wife went to take care of a friend of ours who was under the weather, and as it turns out he had Covid, and didn't know, and by the time he found out, my wife was already back home, so we both thought we might have had it & went into quarantine for 14 days. But as it turns out, my wife already had her shots like, 2 months ago & I'm like, 90% sure I had Covid back in early July. I thought it was just a bad sinus infection combined with bronchitis since I'm susceptible to getting both easily, but after thinking it over, I'm pretty sure it was Covid. Which is scary when I think about it, but I'm just glad nothing bad happened in the end. So yeah, that was a fun revelation, but all in all my wife & I are happy & healthy~ Well.. mostly anyway.. lol. Speaking of which! My wife and I, as of the 31st of October, have now spent 8 years together being married~<3 We've had our up's & downs of course, but we're still just as happy as we've always been, and I couldn't ask for more ^W^
So yeah! That about wraps things up I think...! If you read everything through to the end I greatly appreciate it! So thanks for reading & take care~!

We'd even be able to afford taking care of bills or look for our own home in due time..! So yeah, here's hoping... On the medical side of things, my wife went to take care of a friend of ours who was under the weather, and as it turns out he had Covid, and didn't know, and by the time he found out, my wife was already back home, so we both thought we might have had it & went into quarantine for 14 days. But as it turns out, my wife already had her shots like, 2 months ago & I'm like, 90% sure I had Covid back in early July. I thought it was just a bad sinus infection combined with bronchitis since I'm susceptible to getting both easily, but after thinking it over, I'm pretty sure it was Covid. Which is scary when I think about it, but I'm just glad nothing bad happened in the end. So yeah, that was a fun revelation, but all in all my wife & I are happy & healthy~ Well.. mostly anyway.. lol. Speaking of which! My wife and I, as of the 31st of October, have now spent 8 years together being married~<3 We've had our up's & downs of course, but we're still just as happy as we've always been, and I couldn't ask for more ^W^
So yeah! That about wraps things up I think...! If you read everything through to the end I greatly appreciate it! So thanks for reading & take care~!

Journal Entry - 8/23/2021
Posted 2 years ago◣◥◣◥JOURNAL UPDATE◣◥◣◥
Hey fellow furs n' non-furs alike! This journal is pretty straight forward, covering some of the new stuff that's been happening in my life, so read on if you feel so inclined~!
Art - I have been busy off & on with this category for the past month or so. I finally got my list of commissions finished so I can concentrate on more personal pieces & gift art I'd like to get done for some close friends of mine. But the BIGGER development is after about 16 years of being on DeviantArt I finally threw in the towel. I thought with enough time the site would only improve after going downhill & the development team would learn from it's mistakes, but I have learned, that site is a ghost of it's former self, & a lost cause.. Aside from Eclipse being a terrible update to the site, the other updates they implemented to the site have only made things worse, & to top it off, any artwork you post on there LEGALLY no longer belongs to you so long as you have it on their domain, which means they can commercially use your artwork however they see fit with or without your consent, & I think that's just wrong.. I'd been sitting on the fence about permanently leaving DeviantArt for a long while now, but after having a (rather brief) conversation with my friends GrandestZero & Sukanar, they helped me make up my mind on the matter & I deactivated my account at around 2-2:30am. So! Any artwork I do from now on will generally be appearing on my profile here on F.A~
Gaming - Not a whole ton on this front I'm afraid. I've been playing Xenoverse 2 on my Switch off & on, I'm contemplating on starting my file on Monster Hunter: Rise after I get some issues settled, & I recently downloaded & started playing Final Fantasy - Brave ExvIus on my phone. Aside from that, nothing else really comes to mind lol.
Toys & Collectibles - Okay so! I've had a few new additions to my collection since I spoke about it last. With my latest edition of Optimus Primal, I own all the Maximals for Transformers: Kingdom, all I'm missing is Taigatron~ But that's not what's got me excited... I've mentioned this a few times in my journals over the years, but this time it's actually, finally, really happening this time! I started an Instagram to keep in contact with my mother & have been talking to her for a while now, & she's informed me that she's finally starting to send me my collection of figures & such to me from Canada! I even have photos of the tubs she's gonna be shipping to me >W< So I'll be sure to share those photos when they (hopefully) arrive safely~ Fingers crossed!!
Other Stuff - Recently I had a bit of a scare... I've had plenty of animals over the years, but guinea pigs are new to me. On top of being skittish, eating, sleeping, & pooping all the time, they can get randomly sick. But I had no idea they could contract ringworm super easily! So when the air around my guinea pig's eye started falling out & she developed scabs, I effectively started to freak out! I tried to get a hold of our usual vet, but as it turns out they see every kind of animal but guinea pigs, because guinea pigs are considered 'exotic'.. You know, despite them being one of the most common fucking pets on the planet >.> But I digress.. I reached out to the veterinary clinic that's literally 2 hours away from me to see if they hade any appointments open & of course they didn't, & they told me if it was an emergency I could try to vet E.R, but only if I called at 8am sharp the next morning for a 'chance' to be seen..... So I broke down and started to cry a little, because there was something wrong with my guinea pig & the people who're supposed to be there to help my baby were giving me the short end of the stick. I mean, I get they've got their hands full & I understand, but I was really frustrated. So, I kept calling other clinics that were a lot closer, with most of them telling me to call the same place I'd already been shut down by, that was until I called ONE clinic. The receptionist was impatient & snappy sounding, asking me what I had and I was all "Guinea pig..?" and she asks the vet next to her going "it's a guinea pig, you wanna see it?" and the next thing I knew she tells me to bring her over. No appointment or schedule, just, bring her over. And so my wife, our piggy & I do just that. The Receptionist gets my piggy into the system and we get her weighed & such, & by this point I'd dome some research and was like, 90% sure it was ringworm, but he tells me that it most likely is, but gives me the option to have a culture sample sent & I immediately say yes~! So he plucks a hair (I thought he'd take some blood lol) and then treats my baby, & gives me the medication to take care of it. I've been treating her with anti-fungal cream & some antibiotic ointment for her eye to make sure it doesn't get infected, & sure enough the ringworm isn't spreading, and her fur is starting to grow back as well, albeit very slowly. I'm gonna continue treating her, and when I have the chance get some anti-fungal shampoo and give her a bath once a week for three weeks to make sure I've killed all the spores, but I'm really happy her issue is really easily treatable with some persistence & over the counter medicine.
But yeah! That's about it honestly! The only other thing to really mention is my friends & I have started live-streaming in my server & we're just having a grand old time with streaming games n' such. If you've made it this far reading through everything, I thank you! And if you skipped ahead, well, I hold no ill-will against you~

Journal Update 7/16/2021
Posted 2 years ago◣◥◣◥JOURNAL UPDATE◣◥◣◥
So! Figured I'd touch up on the whole KikeRodz situation I've been talking about for the last few days. I've tried reaching out to other friends who knew him more closely than I had, & in the end It hadn't amounted to much. I don't believe Kike passed away from Covid or whatever, because there isn't any real evidence to back this claim up as far as I know. So unless somebody brings me an obituary proving otherwise, I shall simply believe that Kike left the fandom of his own choice, abandoning his creations & such to pursue a life of Christian faith with his wife & family, & I hold no contempt towards him for this! On that note, I don't believe he gave Veronica or any of his other characters to anybody when he left the fandom, but rather left everything behind in general. So, I haven taken it upon myself to adopt Veronica as one of my own characters, & shall draw her as I see fit. I will of course always give credit to Kike since he was her original creator, & Veronica's character design will largely stay the same as it has been, the only minor tweak I'll be making is her tail stripe changing from dual stripes to a solid one since it's an easier style to draw~ Most people who knew Kike like I did all agree that my actions are acceptable, because not only was Kike our friend, but in doing this I'm keeping his memory alive, and that was my intent from the very start. I only wish he & I talked more often & I got to know him better.
With all of that out of the way, I will now move on to other stuff! in my regular categorized format~!
Art - With the addition of Veronica, I now have like, 8 different O.C's that aren't variations of my own fursona, kinda weird~! So expect to see Veronica as well as other characters in the near future~ I'm also working on getting commissions finished that're lined up. I have a monster hunter world commission that I need to finish, two commissions for my wonderful friend Kirb to get started on, & another for my friend Anthony to do as well! And after getting over a head cold & sleeping a lot, I have a lot of work that I need to catch up on =w=
Gaming - I've been all over the spectrum with gaming lately. I've been playing Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, & a small slew of other games. The only thing on my mind as of late though is getting a copy of Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword H.D for the Switch! Zelda being my favorite Nintendo game franchise, I've wanted to play Skyward Sword ever since it came out!! I will be making money to potentially get myself a copy of the game, but the money I'm making is going towards something more important, so it'll sadly have to wait.
Miscellaneous Stuff - It's been a pretty crazy month packed with drama, mystery & preemptive excitement! My wife's birthday is coming up next month (August 13th) & I plan on taking her out to dinner~! A good friend of mine went and bought the both of us a copy of the Transformers: Ark figure which I'm super excited for. I have several dioramas planned that're G1 inspired, and the Ark will look great on my shelf next to my titan class Metroplex, completing that diorama from the F.o.C game as well~! On another note, I caught a cold & was sick for a week, which is really rare in my case because I generally never get sick. So I've been sleeping most of the week while taking medicine & aspirin & crap like that. I'm mostly better now with just a nagging cough, but the cough is actually because of my sinuses due to the ragweed that's growing around my house, so the most I can do in that regard is take some Halls throat lozenges & try not to cough up a lung..!
But yeah! there isn't really a whole lot to cover in this entry, but if you took the time to read it all, I thank you from the bottom of my heart ^w^
◣◥◣◥QUICK NOTES◣◥◣◥
☑ I've officially adopted KikeRodz's Veronica Skunkette character, & shall do illustrations of her in memory of my friend!
☑ Been playing a whole slew of video games, but all I really want is Skyward Sword H.D for my Switch!
☑ I'm impatiently waiting for my copy of the titan class ARK figure my friend bought me!
☑ My wife's birthday is approaching, and I wanna take her out to dinner~!
☑ I actually got SICK for a change!! It was weird...

So, About KikeRodz.
Posted 2 years agoThis is a short & bittersweet journal I suppose.. It's about Kikerodz
Kike, as you may or may not know, was a rather active artist on here & DeviantArt back in the day. He was kind & considerate, he spoke English fluent enough though his native tongue was Spanish. He drew several characters of his, his most notable one being Veronica, & on the rare occasion he'd do art trades or requests! In general, Kike was a rather nice person who I considered a friend.
I didn't know Kike SUPER well, but enough to know that he had some days where he questioned his own actions, & felt guilty about the adult themed pictures he'd draw on occasion. I mean, we've all been there when starting out. Feeling a ton of shame & judgement & whatnot for drawing something you enjoyed doing, but was afraid if somebody else saw it you'd be harshly ridiculed. For most of us, this kinda thing passes, because in the end you're not hurting anybody, you're simply following through with desires n' ideas you wanna see brought to life! Well, that apparently wasn't the case for Kike. From what I remember, & I've seen other people follow this trend, it's been a few years now, he had a bit of a mental breakdown of sorts. Fearing what his family thought of him & such because of what he drew on occasion, Kike worried so much that he took a hiatus from doing artwork altogether, & spoke of Jesus & God & religion as a whole. The details are still fuzzy so forgive me, but he was pretty harsh on himself. I know a lot of people came to his aid when he posted his journals about his crisis, & he felt better after a while & started drawing more 'tame' artwork before he went back to doing more lewd or adult artwork for a while, and then one day, he just sorta.. vanished?
I myself was focused on getting better with my own artwork so I didn't notice right away that he wasn't nearly as active as he'd used to be with submitting new artwork & such. So one day I checked on his profile, and it said 'deceased' on both his profile & the Veronica profile he'd been running. So of course I figured he was just having another mid-life crisis & he just needed to sort himself out, then he'd be back. But that was not the case. From what I was told, he'd permanently left the furry fandom & fully committed himself to religion, just up & leaving everything behind. I know that isn't an easy thing to do, because I've been there, but he didn't even give any of his characters away or say goodbye as far as I know, & I tried messaging him a few times but got no response. So I just sorta moved on with life myself, figuring things would get sorted out. Well a few years passed in between, & Kike still hadn't been active. I noticed he was active at one point, adding favorites to his collection which were pretty recent, but then those stopped too.
It wasn't until just recently that a friend of mine brought to my attention, that somebody he knew, who (I think, don't wanna assume) also knew Kike, told him that Kike had contracted Covid-19, & passed away.
Now I'm not sure if that's true, or it's just baseless speculation, and I really hope he's still alive & well.. But I don't have anything to go on since Kike pretty much fell off the grid.. So if you're reading this, and you know anything about him or what happened to him, please feel free to comment below, or note me, or message me on Discord, anything.
In the meanwhile I've taken it upon myself to pay tribute to Kike's character, Veronica, by just doing some fun artwork of her so people don't forget about her or Kike, because as it's been said, you're never truly gone until you've been forgotten.

Commissions Open!
Posted 3 years agoJust wanted to let you lovely people know, that I have three slots open for SMALL commissions! I am still working on a rather time-consuming piece, but that doesn't mean I can't step away from it and do something quick. So if your interested, feel free to DM me! All proceeds I make from commissions will be going towards my wife's birthday present, so I appreciate any help I can get~
Please remember I will NOT accept payment in the form of gift cards & other such things, only PayPal or CashApp. I also have a Kofi account if you just feel like throwing a couple of bucks my way ^w^

Commissions Are OPEN~!!!
Posted 3 years agoI’m on the last page of a comic commission I’ve been working off and on for a customer for the past like.. few months.. lol.
Don’t judge me comics take a lot of time dammit...!
And to celebrate the conclusion of the super long commission I’m finishing today, I’m officially opening up commissions again~! I’ve also decided to increase all my slots (except comics) from 3 to 4~! On the note of comics, I’ve updated that information in my commission section, so in the future when I’m not burned out from doing comics and accepting them again, please make sure to check that section out in case you’re interested.
But yeah, that’s about it! You can go back to your daily life nao~
