An Update! 🥕

*sees that my last post was a month ago* uuuh 💀 I guess it’s time for an update!!

I AM ALIVE but here’s a super short summary because life has been nuts and just ridiculous:

🌈 We had multiple/pet health scares, some serious, but everything is OK now 🌈 Our 10 year wedding anniversary was a few days ago, but we were too burnt out to do anything unusual for it (I am so burn out that I didn’t even give Christopher a card…) 💔 That should tell you a lot if you know me well.

Right about the time I went totally inactive, we found this guy on the street, and while I will post a very detailed story at some point, the end of it is that he is ours now. And we are in love, but my life did get inevitably harder as a result.

When we picked him up, I was 100% sure he had to have an owner. When it became apparent he’d beeen abandoned, I was determined to find a rescue with space. Turns out around Easter time, rabbit rescues are pretty full. Several months of wait.

I really didn’t want another pet. I want less pets. You guys know that. I don’t actually pick up every animal I see on the street. Believe it or not, painfully, I do walk away a lot, because otherwise I’m going to die from stress, quite literally.

But sometimes a specific situation presents itself and walking away isn’t the right option. This was one of those cases. In my defense, I didn’t expect I’d have to keep him, let alone want to. I had more than one evening of tearing up at my desk, thinking “I just can’t do this. I can’t.”

This is especially because a few years ago, before the rats (that’s a long time I guess) I’d looked into rabbits as pets. As you know, I do my research pretty well. After a couple of hours, I was very firmly convinced that rabbits were not for me at all.

In a situation in which I felt I had a choice, I would not have kept him. But as the days passed, it started to feel worth it (I’ll go into the why later, but the short version is that he is not a normal rabbit at all.)

However, his arrival meant incredibly high immediate expenses and major changes to things around the house. I am super tired. But I am ultimately glad he is ours. This is probably the one circumstance in which I would end up with a pet bunny because these are not easy pets at all.

Of “common” pets I personally feel it’s one of the most complex you can keep. It should be seen as a proper exotic and not an Easter gift for little children. It’s also not the right pet for someone who stresses so much about the health of pets as I do. So I’m just doing my best.

I promise I haven’t forgotten commissions. I’m so stressed out about getting them done, it’s the first and last thing I think about. I have been able to draw here and there. I miss drawing, desperately. Progress is happening but it is ridiculously slow and I am so sorry.

To be clear, I basically have spent no time on hobbies. No “real” video games, no blogging, no reading, pretty much nothing of the things I enjoy, it’s actually really depressing to write this now that I think of it. If I have free time, it’s for commissions. But I haven’t had free time in a while.

The bunny has been named Domino (intact male, does mark a little, which is possibly why he was dumped). Age unknown. What makes him special is that he is incredible tame and affectionate. He did a flop like you see below on the night we caught him. Loves pets more than food.

He is so friendly, loving, playful. Does things that I see other rabbit owners wait years to experience with their buns. It’s part of why I was so sure that he had to have an owner, but it seems not to be the case. One of the rescues told me they have seen wonderful rabbits like him, dumped anyway.

Anyway I hope everyone has been doing ok. To be honest, going forward I’m probably going to slip back into my old way of doing things (little social media activity and blog posts instead). At least that’s the goal.

Even when it’s mostly positive, anything short form destroys my brain cells. That includes social media feeds. It actually did me good to have no time for it for a while. Made me remember it was much better for me.

So I’m going to put more emphasis again on my bios on ways to DM me outside of socials. Because I’d rather go back to how things were before. 🙂‍↕️

It’s time!!

[squelfland]

A very important preorder finally arrived 😌

(These are still affordable on Amazon, they do get scalped all to hell, so grab one now if you want one! The Lucifer one is especially charming… I really hope they make Vox too!)

[squelfland]

Probably not the best day for announcements but just a heads-up if you’ve noticed me being active on my IG account again, yes, it’s me.

My art account is https://www.instagram.com/squelfland while my personal account is https://www.instagram.com/squelftown/

Just want folks to know it’s me and not an impersonator.

[squelfland]

Morning all, just a heads-up that my recent commission slot offer to recoup vet costs is still open, I’m otherwise going to stay off social media for the day because I freaking hate all forms of this “holiday” lol.

[squelfland]

To be clear. Elliot will see the vet regardless, I don’t want anyone to think I can’t afford to take care of my animals the week after I went to buy filament. But it’s imperative I’m prepared to whatever tests need to be done. Thank you so much guys.

[squelfland]

Please DM me, or reply to this, or hit me up on Telegram at http://t.me/squelfland with references if you’re interested. Due to the circumstances I do need payment asap.

(Prior photo is from when he was feeling a little better)

[squelfland]

Vet wasn’t available today, but a visit tomorrow is still looking very likely for Elliot. Would appreciate the chance to draw a $100 commission for anyone. I finished 9 pieces in my queue over the weekend (!!!) so I’m feeling a lot more confident over my speed to complete everyone’s work!
