*✧ Floating Among the Stars ✧*

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything art related, so here’s moon being his mischievous self.

What crimes did he commit? That’s for him to know.

I have good news to share, currently we are finally caught up on our rent! Everyone who donated and shared helped so much to make this happen and I seriously couldn’t have been more grateful to the people who were kind enough to us.

Things are still a struggle, but we’re really trying our best to hold our own in our new home. It’s been such a crazy ride so far, way more than I was expecting for sure when we moved! I don’t regret it for a single moment though. Because we made this choice my partner and I are able to actually live our lives and take the next step towards our future. I’ve seen and experienced so many new things I wouldn’t have if I didn’t move here, and for that I’m so thankful.

That being said we are still partially behind- mainly on our bills and getting essential things from storage to us. As for the crash thankfully we have transit to get where we need to go and although I’m definitely more anxious in vehicles I’m not going to let that stop me from driving. I may not be able to for a while since my car is totaled (and my license is suspended until I get insurance oough), but that’s not stopping me from doing what I have to do to get by and provide for us!

The only reason I’m posting this out again is because we’re currently trying to raise some funds to afford our bills and as well as get my little chihuahua Jemi registered into a veterinary so we can get pet insurance for her. She currently has a lump on her left rib that I’m pretty positive is a lipoma, but it keeps growing and it’s definitely made me concerned that it could be something else. It doesn’t seem to bother her, but I’d rather be safe than sorry!

There’s an image of the actual lump at the bottom of this post but trigger warning if you don’t like seeing tumors!

Any advice on possible assistance programs or low income vet services would be greatly appreciated. Since we’ve gotten caught up on rent this past month I’ve really wanted to steer away from asking people for money if at all possible. Everyone goes through struggles, especially financially in this country- so I really would like to avoid taking more from others if I can.

I know everyone who’s donated thus far chose to do so, and I understand it’s okay to ask for help. When it comes to money I know how hard people have to work to earn those funds so that they can have the same financial stability that I’m also struggling to grasp. So being generously given that thing that people always have to struggle for just to survive makes me question whether I deserve that amount of kindness from..well, anyone.

I’ve been told the best way to pay someone back for such kindness and generosity is to pay it forward to someone else who needs it. However that may be, through money or through some other means, I want to give that. Once I’m able I’ll put together a Caard page or something of the like for a portfolio I’ll have a link to fundraisers for supporting artists and other groups who are also in need right now!

Any shares and support is and always will be forever appreciated. Thank you guys so much! 💜

I planned on drawing a comic about it but ngl that might take me forever to finish with me working as much as I am lately-

I’ll say this at least, I’m doing better and I’m okay! Although life is still a struggle we’re slowly catching up. We have a home and I may not have a car now but I’m still trying my best to do what I can and make ends meet. I managed to get a job that’s within a reasonable walking distance and I’m so grateful to have that.

I’m not sure if I’ll get my license suspended yet, I’m still working out my options with the court on the citations about not having insurance.

Oh, I should probably explain more about what happened-

That I would like to explain more in an art post like a comic, I wish I had gotten pictures of my totaled car before it was towed off. Since I don’t have a car now I can only get transportation through the bus or paying for a Lyft or uber which I can’t exactly afford-

I’m pretty sure the car got auctioned off, which is pretty sad to hear but at least I got most of my things from the car beforehand right after the crash occurred.

Anyway, either way I just wanted to say I’m doing okay and I’m sorry for worrying you guys. The amount of help we’ve gotten is tremendous and I seriously can’t thank you all enough for helping me and my partner make it through all this. 🌸

When he asked about making his own post I honestly didn’t think many would see it or care, I was in a bad mental state at the time.

It ended up helping so much and I’m so so grateful for him and how supportive and caring he’s been. I find it hard to imagine what it would’ve been like for me if I had to handle all this alone.

I probably wouldn’t have handled it as well as I have.

I hope everyone is doing well, and if you’ve read this far, thank you- seriously. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you guys.

Hi, this is loonasketches’ boyfriend. I’m so new to tumblr, but I desperately need help. Share, spread, or donate. Anything is appreciated. Please.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give a brief update as unfortunately it’ll take me a bit of time before I’m able to draw again. I’m okay but I’m definitely shaken and kind of defeated from what just happened, but know I’m okay and taking things one step at a time.

I was rear ended and got into an accident last night at about 10pm. Thankfully no one else was hurt and the other driver was fine thank god, and I am okay. I have a mild concussion and whiplash but I’m fine otherwise. I’m just so grateful no one else got severely hurt and that I’m still even alive.

Unfortunately my car is pretty totaled. I don’t think it’ll be drive-able from here on out. Aside from that during the time of the crash the car didn’t have insurance. I won’t get into it much at the moment since I’m still trying to rest and was recommended not to use screen devices much while experiencing a concussion, but I’ll be completely clear here when I say that I shouldn’t have been driving without insurance, period. I didn’t acknowledge or know how much a risk it puts myself and other people and I’m facing the consequences for that as I absolutely should. Regardless of my intentions or financial situation I should’ve handled the situation better and going forward I will be taking steps to make sure that I have my priorities straight and think rationally about the choices I make in the future. I apologize to the people I put at risk.

I’ll be sure to update further when I’m able and give better details of the event for context but I’ll keep personal info to a minimum as I don’t want to breach anyone’s privacy. For right now I’ll be taking some time to rest and recover while also trying to figure out the process of what I’ll need to do next from here. I don’t really have pictures of the crash at the moment but if I get the chance go to the tow place where my car was taken I’ll likely take pictures as a reminder to myself. Admittedly I’m unsure of where things are going to go from here but I’m still going to try and move forward. I have to.

My GoFundMe is still up if anyone would like to support us right now but it’s completely fine if people don’t. I will figure things out either way and I’ll be okay. Thank you for reading, please stay safe, and tell your loved ones that you are thankful for them. 💜
