Up Yours, Buttnut

TL;DR: me and my family have found some stability with a kind air bnb host that we've befriended, and she's willing to let us stay with her as long as we can deliver $600 a month this is the most stability i've had in a long while, and i need all the help i can get to stay that way (at least until can land myself another job) i am so grateful for the help i've gotten up to this point and i wouldn't even be here without your generosity and kindness donation links available below

paypal

cashapp

my main fundraiser

at the moment, reaching that amount is urgent, though it won't stay that way for the next couple days if i can make that goal tonight!

"on the wrong side of 40" "huh, which side is that?"

The Need to Stay

apologies for my absence. i'll be posting some new art later tonight, and i've also been sending commission updates--if you haven't received one, please shoot me a message.

unfortunately, i continue to struggle with my chronic health issues, and between that and the heatwaves, staying on top of everything isn't easy for me. the most pressing matter for me right now is that i'm currently nowhere near able to pay my rent this month, and it is due soon. i'm sorry for asking this, but: if you enjoy my art and would like to help me out, it would mean so much to me if you tossed me something over at kofi or to my paypal. the total amount i need is $600 (usd), which is a lot, but every little bit helps, and i'll be immensely grateful.

ideally, instead of making that request i would be reopening commissions, but i'm still not quite done with the ones i've got, and i'm just not able to take on more work right now :( once my rent is taken care of, that'll be a huge weight off my shoulders, and i'll have more time and energy to draw.

thank you so much in advance and i'm sorry about all of this. i remain, of course, full of enthusiasm about drawing pokemon how i see them, and it never stops being a source of joy that it's something you're all interested in :) thank you for sticking around and i hope i do your faves justice.

And Arvvas, who I think have moved on to other things but did mashups of Sámi traditional singing and jazz:

And if you need even more hip hop/rap recs I also strongly suggest Briggs

Also, for the lesbians, Mo'ju.
