Gail (named after Abigail Marston) IS HERE!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to spread this message on all of my blogs, as I think it's important to share, even if it's a little long and rambly.

This past year of 2023 has been a very difficult one for me, but it has also been a year of great discovery and self-exploration.

As many of you already know, this year I lost my beloved friend, Catface, and we are all still feeling the fresh loss of her absence. She was a very special, very beautiful little cat, and I'm undoubtedly going to be mourning her departure for years to come, but I take comfort in the idea that she is no longer suffering with the ailments she had toward the end.

I have seen very tumultuous relationships within my family, and witnessed much drama. I have seen the separation and cutting of ties. I have taken this for what it is and accepted it as necessary.

I began my first official job in the start of 2023. A job that, despite all odds, I am still continuing to work, which has opened endless possibilities for what else I might be capable of.

Now, more than ever, I can say that I love myself, which is something I could never say before. I may forget this at many times, but overall, I love myself and I love my identity as a man, even if there are many around me who doubt its validity.

So here's to another year of staying alive.

Here's to another year of being glad I didn't give up when I was younger and struggling with trauma.

Here's to another year of creating and exploring and discovering and rping... To new projects. I'm already advancing in self-made works such as @ableplay and possibly an AU fic of The Lion King. Here's to whatever spontaneous project I dream up alongside these in the future.

Here's to the new addition to my colony, Trike the Tricolor Bat. I have decided that he's a trans man, just like me.

He was created by an INCREDIBLY talented Russian creator on Etsy known as Inna. I highly recommend their work, and I always will. Every plush they make is so lovingly hand-stitched and detailed!

Cheers to another year, and cheers to The Colony. By this time next year, I hope it'll be tons bigger.

Don't forget to check my blog list to find out if you're interested in my other blogs, and don't forget how much I appreciate all of you. Your support has meant the world to me.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage you to check out SpookySplendors on Etsy. Seriously. I ordered this little guy (his name is Jazzy because he's jasmine scented) and I'm absolutely over the moon. SO much care has been put into the sewing job on this lil guy and Holly (the artist) was kind enough to put the nose on as a special request, free of charge 🥺🥺🥺 I'm currently working with them to design logos and stuff! Please check them out, they're so so sweet.
