Universe is getting my attention
Posted a month agoSeems like the universe is sending me a message after yesterday's journal.
Without getting into too much details, I got into a fender bender. It's my fault really, but it's just all the runaround and the inconvenience of it all, having to deal with the insurance company, then the auto garage for repairs, breaking open my piggy bank (again) to pay for the damages.
*sighs* And this could not have come at a worse time, as I just recently paid for a rather expensive servicing of the car plus extra.
Ugh.... Adulting is HARD! π©

1st quarter 2024
Posted a month agoYeah, the first three (3) months of 2024 have passed, and seeing as how I haven't posted any journal updates since the last one about my friend leaving the fandom, I figured I'd get off my stripey butt and try to do so.
To sum up my first three (3) months of 2024 in one word, they've been "MEH".
And to be honest, I really don't feel as excited as I once was about my involvement here. I rarely post art (i wanna try to but I keep procrastinating about it) and I don't interact as much online, apart from an occasional Hey, how are ya?.
But yeah, I find myself lurking more and more and I think that will probably be the norm moving forward.
As for April 2024, I've been replaying the Dead Space remake, watching and following the new TV series X-MEN '97 and seeing what else is there to catch my interest.
I guess the only BIG thing I have to look forward to for this month is my milestone birthday. Yay.
Other than that, just going through the motions.
That's all for now.

π part 2
Posted 4 months agoIt's been a week since my last journal and while I thought I was getting better, turns out I was wrong.
My last week has been a roller coaster, with ups and downs, highs and lows. While I have been trying to keep myself busy, which has kept my mind from thinking about my friend stepping away, it's also a disadvantage for me as I miss seeing messages from them in-between my breaks when I'd check my IM(s).
It's the lil things like that which I miss. We'd tease each other and have playful banters, whether it'd be about a furry tweet we'd share with each other or about art that either them or I would submit on FA. We'd bounce ideas off of one another too, asking each other what we'd think of this and that, or saying that this is something we could commission and they'd give me permission to get art with our OCs. And they were cool about it, even going as far as joking about it and saying I should commission more of it or calling me NAUGHTY, which I was, honestly. They knew how to push my proverbial buttons as we even showed interest in each other's OCs and had similar tastes for what we like in furry art.
But it wasn't just furry that we'd talk about only. We'd also talk about things other than furry arts like current movies (especially the "furry" ones, the last one being PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH), cultural differences and language, foods, family, video games, and I could tell them anything and they wouldn't judge me.
To quote Forrest Gump, they were my best good friend, and even I know that ain't something you can find just around the corner.
At this point, I'm just going through the motions, day by day, and it has made me ask myself some questions:
1) Will I myself step away too?
2) Will I continue to commission and/or submit art?
3) What's the future for my characters?
I know for those who have been watching my FA for a long time, and by extension those who may have just started, this is something you may not want to hear. But honestly, at this point, I dunno why I am here. I thought I did but now, like I said, I'm just going through the motions.
However, I do want to thank everyone who has reached out to me and checked up on me. Thanks for just being a listening ear and encouraging me.

Posted 4 months agoSo 2024 has started off with a bittersweet moment.
Without going into too much details, someone whom I consider a dear friend, has suddenly stepped away from the fandom.
While I respect their decision to do so, the rather suddenness of it (coupled with it being a complete surprise and shock) caught me off-guard, which has left me feeling sad, confused but moreso alone.
It's still slowly sinking in and I can't say if I'll ever fully ever get over it but for the time being, if you find me being quiet and rather despondent, well you know why.
I'll see y'all around.

Banking Woes at the π§ - THE SECOND
Posted 5 months agoSooo... I was able to pay my Credit Card bill with very little wait time, which impressed me.
But I am still annoyed with the bank:
1) Their call centre representative NEVER called me bank, which forced me to call their call centre AGAIN, and re-tell my ordeal with their π§ machine... AGAIN. After much talking, answering security questions and being put on hold, the call centre representative reaffirmed what I was fearing, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND I JUST HAVE TO WAIT. π€ So, I have to wait till 08-DEC-2023, call back the bank's call centre and find out if my credit card is ready.
2) This puts a dent in my spending as I already made purchases with said credit card, which are now being declined as my credit card was cancelled suddenly on me. So I either have to find an alternate credit card to use in the interim OR.... loose out on my purchases. π
Also, my credit card was tied to my Patreon payments and with it being cancelled, am I going to loose out on my rewards? Can any one answer this for me?
Anyways, on a side note, please send good vibes my way as I'm still feeling anxious about this experience and don't feel safe walking around with cash but now am forced to do so.

Banking Woes at the π§
Posted 5 months agoShort story long, went to the bank last night to pay my Credit Card bill via its π§ machine, which I've done like a thousand times.
I insert my card, punch in my PIN number and follow the steps to pay my Credit Card.
To my surprise, not only was the transaction declined, but the π§ machine kept my card.
I was shocked at first, thinking that it was some kind of error with the π§ machine, and then I started to wonder if my card was being skimmed. I check the entry port on the π§ machine but saw no such skimming device. So, a bit relieved but now annoyed, I immediately contact the bank's 24 hour call centre and explain to them what just happened. The nice lady on the other end said there's nothing that can be done to retrieve my card as it's already after hours, that the bank will have to cancel my credit card as it's standard procedure and that it'll take 10 to 12 business days before i can receive a new one.
To say the very least, I was now mad as I didn't understand why their π§ machine "ate" my card. I explained to her that the card wasn't expired, and that I had money in my account as I had used my Credit Card the other day to pay for a transaction, which was successful. I even went on to tell her that I am cashless, as in I have very little cash on me and that I use my Credit Card almost daily to pay for all my transactions.
Again, she was very apologetic, and assured me that she'll escalate my case to her supervisor, see what can be done and that they'll call me later today.
So, I still have to pay my Credit Card and as I don't have online banking for it, I'm obligated now to line up and pay it over the counter.
This should be fun. π

Birthday Kitty 2023
Posted a year agoAnother year, another birthday.
Didn't celebrate it the way I wanted too. Without going into too much details, the short version is that Dad had a fall earlier this week, hurt himself and as a result needs someone to care for him. Mom has taken up the responsibility of being the "nurse" but there's only so much she can do and while I myself am not qualified, I'm trying to do the best I can to assist both her and him until something can be put in place.
So yeah, birthday plans had to be squashed but am trying to make the most of it.
The End.

Awkward April
Posted a year agoOh wow, time sure does go by fast! Can't believe that we're already at the start of the 2nd quarter of 2023... next thing you know, we'll be singing Christmas songs lol! XD
But yeah, for those who've +watched my FA, you should know from past journals that April is a **BUSY** month for my family, in terms of anniversaries and celebrations, and if you're not, allow me to elaborate.
This month is a whole lotta celebrations. My parents celebrated their 44th Wedding Anniversary on 01-APR-2023, and later this month we'll be celebrating three (3) birthdays - my sister's, my sister-in-law's and mine! Yay! It's hard to imagine that I'm inching ever closer to a big milestone but still, I feel as if I have so many things I want to do first lol XD
Anyways, still dunno HOW I will celebrate my birthday, apart from maybe having a nice meal with my parents. Other than that, who knows? I'll probably figure that out on my hatchday itself lol XD.
Oh! In terms of backlog artwork, Macro March just finished and now we're on to AWKWARD APRIL so I'll continue to do my best to plow through the backlog of commissions. Managed to post six (6) images last month so hoping I can continue on this trend. I must admit that I still have a huge backlog to get through, some that might be stale due to them being themed pics and the time to post them has passed but I'm guessing y'all will still enjoy them regardless.
So yeah, that to look forward too, yay! And speaking of things to look forward too, there's the NEW Super Mario Bros. Movie. It's produced by the same studio that did Minions and Sing - Illumination. Super (heh) hyped for that as I'm a gamer at heart and seeing video game movies adapted for TV and/or the big screen is just awesome for me. I say this as HBO just finished airing their adaptation of Naughty Dog's THE LAST OF US and I gotta say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only gripe is that I gotta wait till like 2025 for Season 2! Blah! But yeah, Super Mario Bros. Movie, I just wanna see Bowser! XD
And continuing the trend of thought on video games, I finished the Dead Space remake and am now contemplating purchasing the Resident Evil 4 (RE4) remake. Dunno if I'll purchase it but for those of you who HAVE purchased and played the game, what're your thoughts on it? Would you recommend it? Share your thoughts in the comments below. But yeah, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Dead Space remake, have maxed out all the weapons and got all the trophies. I think this is the second PS5 game where I got all the trophies. I DID play the original RE4 when it came out for PS3 and enjoyed it back then so I don't see any reason why I wouldn't enjoy it now. But yeah, will think about purchasing the RE4 remake but if you've played it, I'd still like to hear your comments on it.
And the LAST thing I wanna share, BIG BALLS and Lackadaisy! XD
See the video below. X3

Rabbit Rabbit! 2023?
Posted a year agoYeah, sorry for the inactivity of late with regards to my journal updates.
I have no excuse other than just pure laziness on my part to post these journals and update you all on what's happening with me.
And yeah, it's a new month and also a New Year, which coincidentally is the year of the Rabbit (according to the Chinese Calendar) so you all know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
Getting back on track, I hope to change my inactivity, by trying to post more regular updates this year. And speaking of which, wow, 2023, when did THIS happen? December flew by so fast, but that's how the Christmas Season usually is.
But yeah, December 2022 was rough for me, but more specifically 25-DEC-2022, Christmas Day. To make a short story long, one of our dogs, Kia, an Italian Mastiff, died. We're not sure if it was sometime during the night of Christmas Eve into the early hours of Christmas morning but we woke up on Christmas Day and found her dead in our garage.
Yeah, not the best way to start Christmas Day, I'll admit but I had to just suck it up and get thru the morning as my sister, her husband and two (2) kids were spending Christmas Day with us.
Of course, eventually, I had to just man up and decide to deal with the situation. So I grabbed my shovel and pitchfork and went out into the backyard to dig a grave. It wasn't easy as mastiffs are BIG DOGS so the hole/grave has got to be as equally big, if not BIGGER. Thankfully, my sister provided some assistance with the grave digging and once that was done, my parents and the family gathered around as we placed Kia in the grave and buried her. I really didn't have time to mourn after that, since it was Christmas Day and it was very busy, opening gifts, having the big Christmas Day meal, having family come over to visit, yeah, I didn't have time to think about Kia.
But after Dec. 25th, yeah, I slowly started to take in what had happened and accept the fact that Kia's really gone gone.
And it would be the little things that she'd do that I miss. Having her greet me by the gate when I got home from work, watching her drool in anticipation just before she's fed, even watching her wag her nubby tail, which usually would be her entire butt, when she was happy.
Yeah, even our other dog misses her.
But yes, i also try to reason with myself, to help grieve better I suppose(?), that as far as Italian Mastiffs go, Kia was OLD. When we checked her records, she was ten (10) years old when she died. We got her back in October 2012 and she passed on 25-DEC-2022. So yeah, it was just her time I guess. Nothing lasts forever.
So, to get my mind off of things, I went to the cinema and would you believe, the two (2) movies I saw, I thoroughly enjoyed!
Those being James Cameron's long awaited sequel, AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER and Dreamworks Animation PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH.
Now mind you, I enjoyed both of these movies, but I gotta say, I enjoyed Puss in Boots more. Now don't get me wrong, AVATAR 2 is NOT a bad movie! Like I said, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can understand WHY it took so long for James Cameron to make this film. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it (or aren't going too), but I'll say this much, yes I know it's all computer generated and special effects and whatnot but it looked SO REAL! And SO AMAZING! You really feel as if Pandora and the Na'vi are REAL! If you're a fan of the first Avatar movie, then I'd recommend that you go and see this.
As for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, c'mon, it's like Dreamworks Animation MADE this for the furry community. The music, the animation style, and the CHARACTERS! OMGoodness! You've got the classic fairy tale characters but the one who stands out the MOST to me is DEATH! I'm not sure if that's his "name" or if he's the classic BIG BAD WOLF character? Maybe those of you who've seen it and clear this up for me? The voice actor for this character, Wagner Moura, did an OUTSTANDING job bringing this character to life, from his smug arrogance to his chilling whistle, I can see why the furry community is simping over this guy, which I'm not surprised by, seeing as how furries did this for the BIG BAD WOLF from Dreamworks Animations THE BAD GUYS. Oh wow, two (2) Daddies for furries to simp over. Oh my, Dreamworks Animations has it out for us lol! XD
But I digress, below is a clip from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish where Puss in Boots meets the Big Bad Wolf for the first time and I gotta say, it was thrilling.
Why can't *I* have a big bad wolf chasing after me too? π©
So yeah, as far as January 2023 goes, what can I expect?
The new HBO Series, the Last of Us, which is looking surprisingly EPIC! If you haven't watched the trailer as yet, click the video below.
I can't wait till January 15th! I also bought the PS5 version of the Last of Us Part 1 so I'm excited to start that once I finish God of War: Ragnarok.
And speaking of video games, the Dead Space remake is being released on 27-JAN-2023. Now, I grew up with the ORIGINAL Dead Space, way back in 2008, followed by Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, so I'm very EXCITED to see how EA has rebuilt and remastered this sci-fi, survivor horror game from the ground up!
If you haven't seen the trailer for the new Dead Space remake, click the link below:
But yeah, that is what I am looking forward too in January. What can you as my watchers expect from me?
Well, apart from the more frequent journal updates, I would very much like to tackle my backlog of commissioned artworks and get those posted. Now, I've said before that my two (2) problems with posting backlog of commissioned artworks are 1) Laziness and 2) Lack of description.
Now, I can probably overcome no. 1) once I get into a routine but as for no. 2) , I would like to know from you, my watchers, do you particularly enjoy the little short stories/descriptions that are penned for each submission? Or would you rather just see the new artwork of Tiger and/or any of my other OCs? Please let me know as this would help me in providing a better experience for you all.
Anyways, that's enough rambling for me. Hope you all have had a great start to 2023 and hope I can be more active and consistent as January marches on!
:3
I have no excuse other than just pure laziness on my part to post these journals and update you all on what's happening with me.

Thankfully, my sister provided some assistance with the grave digging and once that was done, my parents and the family gathered around as we placed Kia in the grave and buried her. I really didn't have time to mourn after that, since it was Christmas Day and it was very busy, opening gifts, having the big Christmas Day meal, having family come over to visit, yeah, I didn't have time to think about Kia.
But after Dec. 25th, yeah, I slowly started to take in what had happened and accept the fact that Kia's really gone gone.
And it would be the little things that she'd do that I miss. Having her greet me by the gate when I got home from work, watching her drool in anticipation just before she's fed, even watching her wag her nubby tail, which usually would be her entire butt, when she was happy.
Yeah, even our other dog misses her.
But yes, i also try to reason with myself, to help grieve better I suppose(?), that as far as Italian Mastiffs go, Kia was OLD. When we checked her records, she was ten (10) years old when she died. We got her back in October 2012 and she passed on 25-DEC-2022. So yeah, it was just her time I guess. Nothing lasts forever.
So, to get my mind off of things, I went to the cinema and would you believe, the two (2) movies I saw, I thoroughly enjoyed!
Those being James Cameron's long awaited sequel, AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER and Dreamworks Animation PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH.
Now mind you, I enjoyed both of these movies, but I gotta say, I enjoyed Puss in Boots more. Now don't get me wrong, AVATAR 2 is NOT a bad movie! Like I said, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can understand WHY it took so long for James Cameron to make this film. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it (or aren't going too), but I'll say this much, yes I know it's all computer generated and special effects and whatnot but it looked SO REAL! And SO AMAZING! You really feel as if Pandora and the Na'vi are REAL! If you're a fan of the first Avatar movie, then I'd recommend that you go and see this.
As for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, c'mon, it's like Dreamworks Animation MADE this for the furry community. The music, the animation style, and the CHARACTERS! OMGoodness! You've got the classic fairy tale characters but the one who stands out the MOST to me is DEATH! I'm not sure if that's his "name" or if he's the classic BIG BAD WOLF character? Maybe those of you who've seen it and clear this up for me? The voice actor for this character, Wagner Moura, did an OUTSTANDING job bringing this character to life, from his smug arrogance to his chilling whistle, I can see why the furry community is simping over this guy, which I'm not surprised by, seeing as how furries did this for the BIG BAD WOLF from Dreamworks Animations THE BAD GUYS. Oh wow, two (2) Daddies for furries to simp over. Oh my, Dreamworks Animations has it out for us lol! XD
But I digress, below is a clip from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish where Puss in Boots meets the Big Bad Wolf for the first time and I gotta say, it was thrilling.
Why can't *I* have a big bad wolf chasing after me too? π©
So yeah, as far as January 2023 goes, what can I expect?
The new HBO Series, the Last of Us, which is looking surprisingly EPIC! If you haven't watched the trailer as yet, click the video below.
I can't wait till January 15th! I also bought the PS5 version of the Last of Us Part 1 so I'm excited to start that once I finish God of War: Ragnarok.
And speaking of video games, the Dead Space remake is being released on 27-JAN-2023. Now, I grew up with the ORIGINAL Dead Space, way back in 2008, followed by Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, so I'm very EXCITED to see how EA has rebuilt and remastered this sci-fi, survivor horror game from the ground up!
If you haven't seen the trailer for the new Dead Space remake, click the link below:
But yeah, that is what I am looking forward too in January. What can you as my watchers expect from me?
Well, apart from the more frequent journal updates, I would very much like to tackle my backlog of commissioned artworks and get those posted. Now, I've said before that my two (2) problems with posting backlog of commissioned artworks are 1) Laziness and 2) Lack of description.
Now, I can probably overcome no. 1) once I get into a routine but as for no. 2) , I would like to know from you, my watchers, do you particularly enjoy the little short stories/descriptions that are penned for each submission? Or would you rather just see the new artwork of Tiger and/or any of my other OCs? Please let me know as this would help me in providing a better experience for you all.
Anyways, that's enough rambling for me. Hope you all have had a great start to 2023 and hope I can be more active and consistent as January marches on!

The Last of Us - HBO MAX Trailer
Posted a year ago*heavy breathing intensifies*
For the entire day, I've been literally GEEKING OUT over this trailer below, playing this on a loop, and getting goosebumps every time I hear Hank Williams' song Alone and Forsaken.
If you have NO idea what I'm talking about, watch the trailer below.
Also, how many of y'all are PlayStation Furs?
I've been one since the PS2 released and played The Last of Us (TLoU) on the PS3 when it released in 2013, played its REMASTERED version and TLoU Part 2 for for PS4, and now with the release of this HBO MAX TLoU trailer, I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to buy the REMAKE version of TLOU part 1 for the PS5.
So yeah, question for you PlayStation furs, have you bought the REMAKE of TLoU Part 1 for PS5? If yes, your thoughts on it?

Rabbit Rabbit!
Posted a year agoAnother month has flown off the calendar and here we are, halfway thru August 2022. Apologies for the lateness of this journal.
And yeah, it's a new month so you all know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
So yeah, been a while since I've said anything, since I last posted a journal in June. And again, just wanted to say THANK YOU to those who have faved and/or commented on my submissions, as well as those who have graced my FA Account with a +watch. I am always marveled whenever I receive new +watches on my FA, seeing as I'm not a "traditional artist" in the sense that I draw my own idea(s) and upload them. What I mean is, I don't have much to offer, apart from my commissioned works, and even that at times I wonder, "Will folks enjoy this?" Now, I know what you're gonna say, "But Tiger, you should commission what you want for yourself." And yes, while that's true, I sometimes want to cater to the likes of my audience.
But from what I gather, y'all are here for roo'bies, boobies, size difference shenanigans and all-around silliness. XD
Which I have no problem with. :3
Anyways, getting back on track, what have I been up too? Well, been putting my PS5 to use and recently finished playing Stray. Dunno what that is about? Check out the trailer below.
I must say that I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Big surprise, huh? XD But yeah, if you own a PS5 but haven't played Stray as yet, I'd highly recommend it. It's not that long of a game but it's extremely engaging and keeps you guessing.
Next up, and I just so happened to come across this cuz of furry Twitter, the Apple TV+ movie, Luck. Check the trailer below if you don't know what I'm talking about.
And coming out from this, I call it the furry flavour of the month. I'm referring to a character from Luck, a female dragon called Babe.
Caudle on Twitter posted a video clip showcasing Babe, click here --> https://twitter.com/Caudlewag/statu.....lO5JC-9gly4BDg and I must say, she's a cutie. Of course, just like Mr. Wolf from Dreamworks THE BAD GUYS, furries have started doing R34 art of her. Just do a search on FA for Babe Dragon Luck and you'll see the results. See, this is why furries can't have nice things lol! XD
Anyways, yes, I am still trying to work thru my backlog of commissioned works and hope to post up more soon. So stick around for that! ;3
What about you folks? What've y'all been up too?

Posted 2 years agoWow... can't believe five (5) months flew by already. We're already at the halfway point for 2022.
And before you know it, we'll be hearing Christmas Songs on the radio and ringing in the new year.

April 2022 Celebrations
Posted 2 years agoWow, been a while since I posted a journal here.
Anyways, as the subject title says, yes, April is usually a BIG month of celebrations in my family.
* Mummy & Daddy Tiger celebrated their wedding anniversary - 1st April.
* Daddy Tiger celebrated his birthday - 9th April.
* And then three (3) birthdays back to back - my sister's birthday was 21st April, my sister-in-law's birthday was 22nd April and me! Mine was on 23rd April. :D
So yeah, April is always a fun month for our family. Sadly though, as adults, together with the COVID19 pandemic, we've had to keep said celebrations small and in our "own bubbles". Yeah, my brother and his wife don't want to take any chance mixing with others (even with family), as our government has removed restrictions and now more persons are inter-mingling and as for my sister, she celebrated a milestone birthday so she wanted to vacation with her husband at a guest house. So that meant, we (as in my parents and I) had to babysit her kids. So yeah, "Uncle Tiger" had his paws full, helping Mummy and Daddy Tiger look after them. XD
So, it wasn't much of a birthday for me, as I was busy with that but hey, I'm grateful for all the birthday messages i got on my Telegram/Discord/Twitter.
Someone asked me if I got any presents and I must admit, my family isn't into the whole "gift-giving" so I usually end up buying myself my own gift(s) cuz hey, I *KNOW* what I want and can afford it myself so why not? XD If you follow my Twitter, then you already know what I bought but I'll post a pic of it here for those who're curious. Oh! I did also commission a birthday pic for myself too, which i also need to post. X3
Anyways, OTHER things that I'm looking forward too:
Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness opens in cinemas 5th May. Yup, wanna see this, definitely in IMAX. Not linking the trailer as I don't wanna spoil it for myself. X3
Lightyear! Disney/Pixar released the 2nd trailer for this movie and it's looking even cooler. Can't wait for June! X3
Marvel Studios released the trailer for Thor Love and Thunder, which opens July 2022 so yeah! big hype that that too! :D
Forgot to mention that I went to see THE BAD GUYS on my birthday and then found this video on YouTube, which describes the fandom's reaction to this movie XD
And that's about it. ;3

Sox ROCKS! π
Posted 2 years agoSo I'm sure by now you've all seen the new, official trailer for Lightyear and even more so, the lil personal companion robot cat named Sox.
If you have no what I'm talking about, watch the trailer below.
Isn't he adorable? <3
It also got me thinking, is there any Rule 34 art of Sox as yet? And wouldn't you know it, there is, lol XD. I'm not surprised though, as the same thing happened when Dreamworks Animations released the trailer for THE BAD GUYS and furries responded by drawing art of Mr. Wolf (and other character, but mostly Mr. Wolf).
I'm sure more Rule 34 art of Sox will pop up in the future as the release date draws closer but for now, I'm enjoying re-watching the trailer and how well David Bowie's STARMAN just syncs with it. Oh, and the fact that the voice actor for Buzz is the same actor that played Captain America in the MCU (Chris Evans) is a plus! <3
One final thing, and this is just me being curious, how many of y'all use sleep sounds to help you to sleep? Summer Night? Ocean Paradise? Whale calls? X3
For me, I listen to this:
The only exception to this is:
1) If I'm sick and don't care for sleep sounds cuz I'm usually too dopey from medication.
OR
2) If I'm really tired and just pass out from exhaustion.

NFF 2022!
Posted 2 years agoJust hours to go before NFF 2022!
Woo-Hoo!
So for these new to my FA, you might be asking yourselves, What's NFF?
And simply put, NFF stands for No-Fap February is exactly like No Nut November (NNN), except it's in February lol! XD
Last year, I chose not to announce NFF cuz of the whole pandemic and whatnot but this year, I wanna get back into the swing of things so I'll be resuming NFF.
Unlike like past NFF's, 2022 will purely be voluntary. You may choose whether or not to participate but if you do participate, the only requirement of you is that cannot fap from 01-FEB-2022 to 28-FEB-2022. If you can't make the entire month, that's okay too! Go for a long as you can, whether it be a few days to a week.
Also, and this is optional, you may choose to post updates or not about your progress - whether it be in the form of a journal or a piece of artwork.
For me, I'll be updating my progress with weekly artworks using one of my OCs. Won't say more than that so you're just gonna have to wait and see. π
But yeah, hope to see folks taking up the challenge and enjoy your last night! X3

It's what now?!
Posted 2 years agoToday's 23-JAN-2022, the last FULL week of the first month of the new year.... where did the time go too?
Can't believe we're already at the end of January, with February close approaching.
Wow... seems only like yesterday we were celebrating 2021.
Anyhoo... first and foremost, welcome to all my new watchers! I would've posted a shout on your FA page, thanking you for the +watch and whatnot. It always amazes me that folks enjoy what I post, despite my slow activity here on FA. I am trying my best to make up for that and hope to be more frequent and faster in my uploads.
Speaking of which, a gentle reminder to my watchers that all the artwork I post to my FA page are either commissioned works and/or gifts. I do not, I repeat, I do not draw art (except for the occasional doodle) but rather pay an artist to draw my ideas, whether it be thru commissioned works or Patreon rewards. I have no art style whatsoever. If you wanna shower me with praise, I kindly ask that you direct said praise to the artists whom I commissioned to draw my ideas. They're the ones with the talent, not me. π
Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, January is almost over and with that comes February and we ALL know what that means.
Yup... NFF time. π
For those new to my page and not familiar with the acronym, NFF = No Fap February. It's similar to NNN (No-Nut November) and is basically a personal challenge for the month of February, and it means exactly what it says.
I won't go TOO much into details but I will say this, I am going to resume the challenge next month as I didn't decide to do it last year cuz of the pandemic and how bummed out folks were about it.
And if you're interested in participating and want to find out more information, don't worry, I'll be posting a journal later this week with all the necessary details.
For now, you can take a look at my NFF folder gallery here on FA ( https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....-NFF-Challenge ) - which showcases NFF posters, artwork and updates for the last seven (7) years (since 2014). Yup, it's been that long (HAH!).
Hope you're excited as I am! Stay tuned! π

Posted 2 years agoSing 2 really tugged at my heart strings, especially the story arc for Clay Calloway. Seeing as he's BIG cat, I was drawn to him (big surprise) but his song really did a number on me.
If you haven't watched the movie as yet, I'd recommend it. It was fun and you can't help but sing along.
Here's the scene that did it for me.
Have you watched Sing 2? Share your thoughts on it. Love to hear what others thought of the movie. :3
If you haven't watched the movie as yet, I'd recommend it. It was fun and you can't help but sing along.

Rabbit Rabbit! *blows the dust off*
Posted 2 years agoLate again, as always, and I apologize for that. But hey, it's a new month and you all know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
Hoo boy, wow, can't believe I neglected to post a journal. But here we are, first journal for 2022. Sorry about that. The only excuse(s) I have to even explain my lack of keeping you all up-to-date are laziness, procrastination, lack-of-motivation and real life happenings. Jasmine would tell you otherwise but that's for another day. π
Hopefully, I'll be trying my best to change that in 2022. By the way, doing the obligatory "HAPPY NEW YEAR greetings to each and every one of you all out there. Thanks for sticking around, for enjoying the content I posted for 2021 and here's to whatever I come up with for 2022. Mind you, I still have a backlog of arts to upload and will also be trying to clear that.
My biggest problem with my backlog of art is not posting it, no. I could easily do that. The problem I have is that I'm too much of a perfectionist and when it comes to my commissioned works, I want to craft the PERFECT description to go along with it, which usually involves writing a (short) story and my writing hasn't been as forthcoming as I'd like it to be.
Again, will try my best to be creative in this regard, even if it's just a one (1) paragraph tale.
Oh, by the way, I hope you all had a Happy Christmas. For my family as I, it was the 2nd year (since the COVID-19 pandemic) that we didn't meet. Family on my mum's side usually meets up: all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces & nephews, for a big Christmas Meal. Yeah, we usually make a big thing outta it, lots of food, drinks, gifts and just talking with one another and catching up. But like I said, due to COVID-19, a lot of that has changed so we only kept the celebration within our immediate families. It's not the same but it is what we are required to do in order to keep one another safe. Sure, we can have video calls and share Christmas greeting with one another but it'll never replace face-to-face chats.
In any case, despite those drawbacks, I hope you were able to have a Happy Christmas, with your family or otherwise.
As to what I plan to achieve in 2022 goal wise, well, I'm still trying to figure that out. As for content wise, well, next month is No-Fap February so looking forward to that but will probably post another journal coming (hah! XD) closer to that timeframe.
But for now, that's about everything. :3

Why is she such a good girl?? π©
Posted 2 years agoOf course, I'm talking about Loona from the latest episode of Helluva Boss, Season 1, episode 6. If you haven't seen it or have NO idea what I'm talking about, you can check out Vivziepop's YouTube Channel for all the episodes
As to why Loona's such a good girl, here's a snippet from episode 6. And of course, SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen it as yet.
And while we're on the subject of Helluva Boss, I mean, we all KNOW that folks have been shipping Stolas and Blitzo since episode 1 but just seeing Blitzo turn on that Owl Demon just by running his finger across his feathers, and watching him FWOOMP out from it just makes me giggle every time.
And also, I know this is old (2004 to be precise), but of late I've been seeing Van Helsing show on our local Cable TV channels and well, rather than talk about it, I'll just show y'all.

C'mon, you know you're crushing HARD for Werewolf Van Helsing too! X3 Don't judge me! π©

Rabbit Rabbit! + August Update
Posted 2 years agoLate again, as always, and I apologize for that. But hey, it's a new month and you all know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
So yeah, not sure what happened for July as I missed my journal entry but it happens.
Anyways, August is here and I am hoping to get back into the habit of posting my commissioned works as it's piling up on me. And with that, I also wanna thank all the folks who gave my FA a recent +watch, and by recent I mean over the last few months.
Always astonishes me that folks enjoy my characters and the scenarios I place them in. But yeah, thank you for considering my FA worthy enough for a +watch.
Anyways, moving along, movie reviews! :D
Just two (2) that I wanna talk about. The first being WISH DRAGON
Without giving spoilers (and from what is revealed in the trailer), it's very much like Disney's Aladdin and I don't mean the live-action version. But I will say that it was still enjoyable and I enjoyed seeing the shenanigans of Long and Din, especially in that traffic scene. X3
And next we have Space Jam: A New Legacy
Again, without spoiling the movie, I'd say that I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I mean, yes, there's a LOT of pop culture references from other movies and/or TV Series, which you will enjoy if you're a movie nerd like myself but that's about it. There's nothing else other than that + the zany antics that comes with the Looney Tunes.
I mean, I was kinda maybe hoping for another muscle Bugs Bunny, as seen in the 1st Space Jam but no such luck. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the clip below.
But yeah, it was meh.
Other than that, I was able to get a taste of the PS5. Yes, you heard me right. A taste.
And no, I do not own a PS5 but I know someone that does and thru the power of technology, I was able to play a PS5 title game thru my PS4. There's this feature called Share Screen (I think that's what it's called?) and two users can share their screen. In this instance, the PS5 owner shared their screen with me and gave me host rights and I was able to play a PS5 title and I must say, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed every bit of it, so much so that I played out the entire game in about the span of 1.5 to 2 weeks. It was amazing! I'll just leave it at that.
Oh, and I did mention in my May journal that I was thinking about getting a PS Plus subscription. Well, I opted to buy the 1 year subscription and saw that Red Dead Redemption 2 Online has some new DLC content, Blood Money I think it's called, so may look into that. If anyone knows more about it, feel free to tell me more about it.
Anyways, that's about it for now. Thanks for taking the time to read my update! <3

Rabbit Rabbit! + June Update
Posted 3 years agoSeems I'm always late with these BEGINNING OF THE NEW MONTH journals and I apologize for that. But yes, it's new month, you know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
And we're in June already, the sixth day to be precise. Time is just zooming by.
Anyways, we're still under lockdown and in a State of Emergency (till July 4th I think?), with curfew hours in effect. Yup, you heard right. So from 9pm-5am, no one can be outside their homes unless 1) You're an essential worker going to your job or 2) You have to seek medical attention during those hours. Of course, our Police Service have set up a "CURFEW HOTLINE" that you can call during those times if it is you need to be outside your home during that time, and they will instruct you on what to do in that event.
But yeah, thank goodness I haven't had cause to call that hotline or be outside during the curfew hours and as of today, the curfew hours have been adjusted. Now, from Fridays to Sundays, the new curfew hours will be from 7pm-5am, instead of 9pm-5am. Why? Cuz the number of infection cases are still too high, with the average number of deaths per day being between 15-20 persons with around 200-300 infected cases over a five (5) day period. According to our Ministry of Health, that's an improvement but they are still encouraging citizens to not be complacent and to practice all COVID-19 protocols.
Course, this always has to be repeated as persons still don't comply and are ticketed for either not wearing a face mask while out in public or for breaking the public health ordinances. This has been happening a lot recently since the curfew was implemented and our government has warned its citizens about this, but you know us trinis, always finding a way to "outsmart" the police. *sighs*
Anyways, moving on, I finally finished re-playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and I must say it was a lot of fun not being the "good guy" for a change. So now that I've finished that, decided to install and play Anthem, only to realize that it requires PlayStation+ (PS+).
This I didn't know.
This poses a challenge for me, mainly for the reason that I'm not an "Online" gamer. For lack of a better term, I'm an "Offline" gamer.
So, I checked out the prices for the various PS+ subscriptions and I gotta say, I'm being indecisive in choosing which one to purchase.
Here are the subscription prices:
12 months - US$44.99 (Save 25%). I think normally it's around US$60.00 or thereabouts. But the discount is valid until June 9th.
3 months - US$24.99
1 month - US$9.99
It was suggested to me that I should just try PS+ for 1 month and see if I like it. I did think about that and thought, if I like it, then after having paid the US$9.99, on top of that I'd have to pay again, whether it's the 3 or 12 months subscriptions. If it's the 12 months, I'd loose out on the 25% discount.
But anyways, apart from the online gaming feature, other PS+ features include free monthly games and exclusive member discounts. So yeah, it's not ALL that bad but I guess what I'm asking y'all is, if you are a PS+ member, try and help me decide which subscription I should buy.
Moving along, Marvel's Loki starts on Wednesday 09-JUN-2021 and I'm really excited for it. And speaking of Disney characters, later this month is Stitch day, 6-26 or June 26, however you wanna look at it. Would folks be interested is seeing one of my OCs drawn as a "Stitch-like" character? You know, the lil blue alien with the four arms?
Let me know in the comments and if there's enough appeal for it, I might just have it done.
So yeah, that's all for now I suppose.

Rabbit Rabbit! + Update
Posted 3 years agoI'm fours day late but still, it's new month, you know what that means, RABBIT RABBIT everyone. Dunno what that is? Click here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit_rabbit.
We're already into the fifth month of the year, can you believe it?
Anyways, my last journal, I spoke about measures that our Prime Minister put in place to restrict the spread of the virus, and in less than a week, he again addressed the nation and added even more measures.
1) All food service will be discontinued (street food vendors included).
2) Essential services (groceries, pharmacies, hardware stores, financial institutions, etc) remain open but can only operate between the hours of 6am to 8pm.
3) Manufacturing Sector remains open but all non-essential retail businesses will remain closed until further notice.
So yeah, indirectly we've been placed on a curfew because now, if you're outside after 8pm, you really don't have an excuse as businesses will close at 8pm. All this is to be in place till May 23rd, when our Prime Minister will next again address the nation and hopefully lift these restrictions.
But yeah, what else have I been up to? Work has been keeping me busy, as per usual and my hours have changed but that was to be expected with the new restrictions. Apart from that, I've been also trying to keep up with posting the backlog of artwork I've commissioned. I just finished posting my Tiger's Wish sequence, which ended today. As I said in the last sequence of that posting, thanks to everyone you faved, commented and left a +watch on my FA. I'm glad that folks seem to enjoy my lil strange set of kinks. As to what I'll post next, not quite sure but I do hope you all will enjoy it all the same! :D
As for gaming, with my birthday last month, decided to buy myself a game from the PlayStation Store. It's called Anthem. I know very little about it and haven't started playing it as yet. That's because I recently decided to replay Red Dead Redemption 2 but this time, instead of being a goody-too-shoes, I'm just being bad, not caring about anybody and shooting whoever mouths off to me. Course, this has caused my moral meter to go in the red but like I said, I wanted to play differently this time around. So after that, then I will start Anthem.
As for movies/tv shows, well, there hasn't been much that caught my attention. I mean, apart from the recently concluded Marvel TV Series, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, I watched Nobody.
I'll say this much, if you enjoyed JOHN WICK, you'll enjoy this.
But as I mentioned Marvel, I only realized that two (2) years ago, around this same time, we had Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War in theatres and then around this same time, last year, we had Avengers: Endgame. And lo and behold, Marvel releases a trailer for their lineup of movies:
Black Widow: 09-JUL-2021
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: 03-SEP-2021
Eternals: 05-NOV-2021
Spider-Man No Way Home: 17-DEC-2021
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: 25-MAR-2022
Thor Love and Thunder: 06-MAY-2022
Black Panther Wakanda Forever: 08-JUL-2022
The Marvels: 11-NOV-2022
Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania: 17-FEB-2023
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3: 05-MAY-2023
And a hint of maybe a new Fantastic Four?
You can watch the trailer below.
But in the short term, I'm looking forward too Marvel's Loki, which starts 09-JUN-2021. I'm not sure how many episodes it'll be but I am guessing it'll end just before the release of the Black Widow movie. YOu can see the Loki announcement below

Post-Birthday Update
Posted 3 years agoFigured I'd make a journal about this since it has been my second birthday during the global pandemic.
First off, THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. It meant a lot to me as I really could not do much of anything as our country, Trinidad & Tobago, has been placed under restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More about that later.
So, how did this kitty celebrate his birthday? Well, nothing of significance. I didn't take the day off from work as I knew I'd be working remotely that day (as in working from home) so it was kind of relaxed, with the exception of a few work-related phone calls here and there, doing software updates, etc. I work in technical support, for those who don't know. Mom cooked me a nice birthday lunch (yes, I still live at home with my parents :P), which was delicious. It was not my usual birthday steak but I wasn't going to kick up a fuss. Like I mentioned earlier, because of COVID-19, couldn't do much but will get to that shortly. The highlight of my birthday I'd say was being able to go to the blood bank and voluntarily donate blood. It's about the only SAFE thing I could do as I know hospitals are sanitized and clean. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I had my birthday carrot cake brought to me, which I paid for, by the way. So yeah, it was a quiet day with just my parents.
So why so many COVID-19 restrictions? Well, simply put, our population got complacent during the Easter period, where school children were on leave/vacation and a lotta folks were congregating and not following health protocols. As a result, our Prime Minister, in consultation with the Ministry of Health, implemented measures for a three (3) week period, twenty-one (21) days, that was supposed to curb the spread of the virus:
1) No more in-house dining at restaurants, bars, casinos, cinemas, etc.
2) Public Gatherings were reduced from 10 persons to 5 persons
3) All beaches closed to the public.
This is in effect till May 23rd but over the last few days, there was a spike in COVID-19 cases, with yesterday (29-APR-2021) having the highest recorded number of cases ever - 328 positive cases.
Because of this, our Prime Minister implemented even more stricter measures. He announced the following services and establishments will be closed:
Restaurants
Bars
Places of Worship
Malls
Spas/Hair Salons/Barber Shops
Gyms/Fitness Centers
Casinos
Cinemas
He also announced the following:
1. The Public Service will operate on essential services only.
2. Flights to Tobago will be limited to 3 flights to a day
3. The ferry service to Tobago will operate at 25% capacity
Of course, he also said that persons are not to travel to Tobago unless it is essential or an emergency.
4. All Tour Services are to end.
So yeah, it's gonna be a LONG three weeks and I just hope the numbers decrease. :(
First off, THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. It meant a lot to me as I really could not do much of anything as our country, Trinidad & Tobago, has been placed under restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More about that later.

Like I mentioned earlier, because of COVID-19, couldn't do much but will get to that shortly. The highlight of my birthday I'd say was being able to go to the blood bank and voluntarily donate blood. It's about the only SAFE thing I could do as I know hospitals are sanitized and clean. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I had my birthday carrot cake brought to me, which I paid for, by the way. So yeah, it was a quiet day with just my parents.
So why so many COVID-19 restrictions? Well, simply put, our population got complacent during the Easter period, where school children were on leave/vacation and a lotta folks were congregating and not following health protocols. As a result, our Prime Minister, in consultation with the Ministry of Health, implemented measures for a three (3) week period, twenty-one (21) days, that was supposed to curb the spread of the virus:
1) No more in-house dining at restaurants, bars, casinos, cinemas, etc.
2) Public Gatherings were reduced from 10 persons to 5 persons
3) All beaches closed to the public.
This is in effect till May 23rd but over the last few days, there was a spike in COVID-19 cases, with yesterday (29-APR-2021) having the highest recorded number of cases ever - 328 positive cases.
Because of this, our Prime Minister implemented even more stricter measures. He announced the following services and establishments will be closed:
Restaurants
Bars
Places of Worship
Malls
Spas/Hair Salons/Barber Shops
Gyms/Fitness Centers
Casinos
Cinemas
He also announced the following:
1. The Public Service will operate on essential services only.
2. Flights to Tobago will be limited to 3 flights to a day
3. The ferry service to Tobago will operate at 25% capacity
Of course, he also said that persons are not to travel to Tobago unless it is essential or an emergency.
4. All Tour Services are to end.
So yeah, it's gonna be a LONG three weeks and I just hope the numbers decrease. :(
