He that becomes a Lamb shall be eaten by the Wolf

A lot of my patients fly in solo, from all over the globe. But this one was a local bear who needed help.

You can see he’s pretty chubby, but he’d lost some stuffing from gravitational settling, particularly on his head and joints. His seams were suffering from the expansion (not just the ones in the photo). These were all treatable issues. He did have some light scarring on the side of his face from a previous accident, but the fur still felt nice, so treating it would be more invasive, and so I didn’t recommend that.

It took some time for him to come in, because his person, who is quite young, wasn’t ready for him to be gone for long, and so not only were there timing issues, but there was a question as to whether to have him cleaned as well, which would extend his stay. Eventually, everyone was ready and one Wednesday afternoon, after his youngster’s school, he was dropped off.

He started his care with the spa:

All new stuffing once he was dry relieved the lumpiness in his pre-op photos. But he still got a small amount of original stuffing in a heart in his chest:

Once restuffed, it was time to minimize his older seam scarring, and tighten up his other seams. Here he is, all better:

He went home to a very happy little girl and her family. They wrote:

He looks fantastic and D is so happy to have him back looking and feeling like new.

Thank you so much for your work on this.

They also asked for his story to be shared, so this is for D and her teddy bear. :-)

Okay so for those who don’t know what on earth happened, here’s the rundown!

Sometime on Saturday, May 9th, my entire account was obliterated for… no reason. I logged in, went to reply to a long time followers DM, and my account was completely and totally terminated with no explanations, warning, email, anything. Just *poof* gone.

Terrifying.

I proceeded to file a support ticket and just waited with no account or knowledge as to why it happened. I still don’t… know why or how this happened, but I am just glad to be back thanks to you many INSANELY wonderful people who pinged support and advocated for me on here while I was floating around in the void. Petrified I had lost 4 years worth of community posts and people and terrified I’d lost my tag, my comic, and eveyrthing else on here without so much as a heads up. I honestly think I just got annihilated by a moderation bot or something, BUT support did reinstate me with 0 issues/hassle; so credit to them where it’s due. Once I received the email there was no hang ups and for that alone I’m so relieved and am beyond ready to move past this lol

This whole thing did make me rethink alot of stuff tho and I think I’m going to officially put the comic part of The Ancient Mew on proper hiatus. Life is craziness enough and by no means is the series canceled, but I’m at a place where I stopped posting/interacting on here at all because I felt bad I wasn’t working on it. However, getting drop kicked off the platform has made me realize that fuck it, I still wanna hang out with ya’ll, so I hope you’ll still have me even if our cats aren’t the main focus anymore ;w;! And for those who have supported me as the dumbass artist I am since the beginning, this week, and anytime in between.

THANK YOU. SO… SO FREAKING MUCH.

I did lowkey cry a little when I saw all the support and fight ya’ll had for me, as up to that point I hadn’t cried about this situation at all. Only your outpouring of support got me to start blubbering haha

Hey guys, wanted to give peeps the headsup that Phlurrii's account was outright terminated randomly today.

Please be aware that she did NOT delete her account or block anyone.

“Hi guys, I’m not really sure how to even type this out, but tumblr just terminated my entire account, side blogs and all. I’m not sure what happened beyond that long time follower messaged me and I went to reply; then boom. Deleted off the face of the planet. Losing everything I worked on for 4 years, all the art, asks, theories, comics, and community is kinda insane? I’ve reached out to tumblr, but there no guarantee. So um… I don’t know, honestly I don’t know.” - Phlurri

She has already gone to Tumblr Support and we are hoping she gets her account back.

This is ABSOLUTELY a perfectly fine footpath.

In fact, with how much space I’m seeing here, it is entirely plausible, that the European hordes will just create a temporary little Wanderweg right next to the highway. With that much space they might not even have to interfere with traffic.

the grass is not a permanent feature. there just happens to be a chunk of it there. the side of the road can vary from grass to swampwater ditches to steep embankments to absolutely nothing within a very short distance.

they will call in every highway enforcer in the state and mass incarcerate the lot of you before they allow you to Darwin Award yourselves across 6 lanes of traffic into an international incident or, (their real concern) impede the progress of the single most important north-south interstate corridor in america, ball kicky game be damned.
