I'm sorry I haven't uploaded any art lately, I've been super busy setting up the Fellcat group on dA. ... By the way, the cat species has been named "Fellcats" and there's an RP/ARPG group for them now. XD It should be ready to open soon! I got the ARPG competition stuff typed today, and the RP competition stuff should be typed up sometime today or tomorrow. -dies-

I think it'd be great to work with disabled people or animals. If my fear of people and places and my lack of confidence in myself goes away or lessens enough, I think I might do well.

[inkdapple-blog]

I had a dream

that one of my mutuals donated $200 to me because of my condition and because I was a good person, AND they promo'd my art and I started getting commissions out the wazoo. I cried. I cried so hard. (I also changed my Tumblr username in honor of my poor apple seedling and people were confused, but whatever.) Guess it was too good to be true, haha. But man, even if it wasn't real I still feel like going out and doing good for someone else in need now.

[inkdapple-blog]

I...

Anyone know how to keep plants safe from cats? I'm pretty sure my cat ate my apple seedling in the night, it's just gone. It was my baby. ;-;

[inkdapple-blog]

sometimes im tempted to use my tumblr for art AND personal therapy for the other six days of the week when i dont get to see my therapist.

because sometimes you need an outlet, and sometimes it helps to think people might be there to support you despite the silence.

it might be nice to be able to give myself a gold star for just getting through the little things everyone seems to take for granted, and give myself a little reassurance that im not doing as poor a job of existing as a normal human being as i feel i do sometimes.

like "made that important phone call, youre rad, go have a bar of chocolate"

or "opened the front door by yourself today, heck yeah".

(Please note: I do not agree with nor endorse any of the articles below, but I included both sides of the argument for the sake of fairness. In addition, I know this list is small, but please understand that it is extraordinarily difficult to find orca-specific articles from a pro-captivity point of view that actually focus on orcas alone. If you know of any more articles, please message me and I will gladly include them on this list.)
