Sean Shaughnessy adoption day

Sean Shaughnessy nearly 3.5 months later.

His fins have grown so much and his color has returned some (its hard to see but hes got lots of blue and tourquoise coloration in the right light). I'm hoping the scales around his face will return soon. I can see some improvements around there but not much yet.

Does anyone have any experience with scale regrowth?

Some close ups, you can see a bit of the blue in these.

being disabled is so fucking annoying

what do you mean my idiot animal body, which has been evolving for millions of years to be optimized for existence in so many ways, will break down completely and be rendered unusable for a time if i eat bread or touch the wall wrong or exist near a thunderstorm or eat normal things or wake up too early or stand too long or exist in a loud space or don't get enough sleep or or or or

Whimsical Spoonie Fae had to get a lawyer to help in the divorce because my ex doesn't want to pay spousal support even though he makes $$$$, but of course that means right now I don't Have the money for a lawyer who will make him Give Me the money so I can like. Stay on my meds and not die?

Anyway. Chip in if you can & want to, reblogs help too, etc etc etc you know the drill. Every little but helps & I appreciate anything, fr.

Mutual aid might not be the ideal solution (universal healthcare and universal basic income anyone???), but I used to send people my husband's money and when I've got money again I'll pay it forward as best I can 💙💜
