So in honor of the new Precure stage show and all of the magical boy hype lately (and the fact that ya girl hasn’t posted art on here in like. Six months and I can’t post this on Insta yet.) have the next gen of my OCs

In order we have Mills (Azurite), Esmie (Rose Quartz), Frill (Aquamarine), Leshy (Austinite), and Aster (Zircon).

There’s one more fire Opal themed member, but they have four arms and the inspiration has yet to hit for them.

Attention Austinites!!!

Let me start off with the good news, I am officially moving to ATX this week! All my dreams have finally paid off and one of my life’s goals has finally come to fruition!! I got what is basically my dream job at a certain popular late-night pizza parlor in Austin, I’m sure you can guess which, and I’m beyond happy!!

Now for the bad news. I currently do not have a place to stay. This move is basically the culmination of months of “get out of my house, adult man-child” from my mother, love her to death, but yeah. I’m more or less being evicted from my family home and using it as an excuse to pack up and move 1100 miles to Texas. Sounds crazy, I know. Thankfully after selling a fair number of my belongings I have a modest amount of money to make the drive and feed myself until I start working, but until I find a reasonably priced apartment outside the city, I’m going to have to find a couch to crash on in the short term.

So I am calling for help! If you have a friend or family member in Austin Texas who could feasibly house a 24-year-old non-binary gay man for a few weeks please do not hesitate to message me! I am desperate for a place to stay! Please help if you can!
