Hunkuary

I did a little graphic for the Hunk meta I shared yesterday for the day 1 of @vldtenyearanniversaryfest on the theme "favorite character"

https://archiveofourown.org/works/84595506/chapters/223200016

It has 6 chapters so far:

1- Hunk's intelligence

2- Hunk and food

3- Hunk, fear, anxiety, and bravery

4- Hunk affection, and emotional intelligence

5- Hunk and his family

6- Hunk, the animal lover

While you may have seen some of it on ex twitter and tumblr, the (long!) chapter 4 is entirely new! I also shared that chapter on tumblr here:

Hunk, affection, and emotional intelligence

I'm also taking the opportunity to promote my Hunk-centric collection on AO3, "I'm a leg!"

It has all my Hunk-centric fics, as well as a bookmark collection with all my favorite fics focusing on Hunk!

Hi, everyone.

Ok, I don’t want to waste your time but I wanted to be upfront about what’s going on in my life just so you all know.

Last night I got what is probably one of the worst emails that could have ever appeared in my inbox? Our landlord has given us a 60-day notice to get out. For context, my mom and I have been living here since the year 2000. We have never been late on rent or missed a payment despite every difficulty life has thrown at us in that time and this has completely blindsided us.

We haven’t spoken to any of the neighbors yet but some of the wording on the notice makes me think that they may be kicking out the entire building. Or maybe they’re just targeting those of us in the non-renovated units because we’ve been here so long and they could charge a new tenant much more with a quick kitchen and bathroom upgrade. Renoviction is a new word I just learned. I don’t know. That’s what happened to my brother at his last apartment. They kicked out everyone in his building, renovated, raised the rent, then let new people move in.

They suddenly started increasing our rent every year like clockwork a few years ago so I’ve had a feeling they’ve been trying to price us out for a while but I didn’t know they could just… tell us to leave just because they can. Rent consistently paid up and everything for 24 years.

The notice we received really doesn’t say much so it’s all speculation I guess. It doesn’t state a reason why it just says we need to be gone by March 31st.

But basically, I’m really not doing well right now in all honesty. I slept for maybe an hour last night and it’s like a switch flipped in me as soon as I read the email. My stomach has had this weird knotted feeling ever since and I can’t stand up for more than a few minutes before needing to lie down again in case I either faint or vomit… I’m not sure which but it’s been this way since last night. I had to stand up at the sink to wash one singular dish from dinner and I could barely do it. At least I didn’t see the email until after I ate last night because I still have no appetite now.

However bad I’m feeling I know my mom is probably feeling worse. She has been for a while. She’s getting older and my dad is no longer alive. Aside from my brother and one irl friend I still see in person regularly, we have no family or other support system in this country and are well and truly on our own, staring down the barrel of homelessness if we can’t quickly secure a place and move decades worth of our life there before the end of March.

All of this to say, I don’t know what our usual art shenanigans here are going to look like during this time. I am incredibly stressed to the point where I am physically ill but I also can’t pause and step away because I do need the income that I receive from your support of me/my art here. It’s just the reality. I’ve never been particularly Big And Successful with what I do so your support means all the much more and makes a real impact on my life.

I am so sorry if this dampens your mood at all today or if you notice a decrease in the quality of art I’m able to deliver over the next few months but I will try my best to keep things rolling and let you know if there’s any particular delays to expect.

To top it off, I requested a tour of a nearby apartment last night (more expensive than our current) and the name of the person who just texted me back has the same name as our current landlord. Who wants to start taking bets? I know for a fact they own a lot of property in the area so this isn’t looking promising.

Anyways. Sorry for this downer of a post. If we’re not homeless in 2 months then… I dunno. I’ll have somewhere indoors to do art? Yay? You can imagine the housing market we’re dealing with being in California. The prospect of moving at this point has always been one of my biggest fears but we’ll see if we get lucky real fast 😢

If you've ever thought about supporting my Patreon or anything else, now and over the next few months might be a good time if you can swing it. Maybe it'll help us secure a place to move if I can point to it and be like 'Look! A whole income!' 🥲 Idk man.

There's an art update in the (public) post I made if you want to see what we're at least trying to work on for sticker club through all of this.

Happy Birthday Hunk!

During their voyage to Earth, the Paladins take a break on a desert   planet to recover from a Galra Empire attack. Lance waits by the fire   for Hunk to be done with repairs.

----

Lance sighs as he stretches his legs in front of him, towards the campfire. It’s getting dark. A shiver crawls up his spine–he’s unsure if it’s the air cooling as the night falls, or if it’s the aftermath of the battle they just survived. Somehow their voyage to Earth has been mostly peaceful lately, and he had let his guard down. So the sudden attack by a Galra Empire fleet had made him jump out of his skin. And now that they’re safe planetside he can’t even relax, because they had dinner without Hunk and that feels wrong.

It’s not hard to put together: the glowing artifact that stopped glowing. The aliens that don’t talk out loud. The food. “Oh, no,” Hunk says.

After the loss of Ulaz, the Paladins agree to retrieve a planet's artifact. It has some unexpected results.
