For some strange reason, every time they were in this particular town, any mention of financial distress or ‘tough-single-parent-decisions’(tm), this loud woman with scars and usually doc Martens busts down the wall in what can only be described as a ‘motherly hurricane’ 

Funfact: Solo is horrible at maths and their kid does all the adding and subtractions for them both 

Between the ages of 16-18, finances were a real issue for these two and sometimes tricky choices had to be made.. But I put them through enough crap so have everyone’s favourite mum on the case :3c

I’ve heard and seen so much evidence of her all but swooping in and helping folks, it just feels right for similar experiences to happen to the local teen parent and their boy

asdfghjkl i am torn...

Pisca is DEFINITELY from the southern water tribe with her mamas, and she’s definitely a water bender...

But do I have her taught as a wee bab by MARI, or do I have her and her family move to Ba Sing Se and she teaches HERSELF to waterbend using earth bender techniques?

Taught by Mari means I can force these two to interact again because I am a garbage

Earth bending style water bending would suit her character better

And it’s way easier to axe of the old mum and mam in Ba Sing Se than it is in the water tribe ^^;

Care Package

So, about a week ago, I got a thing in the mail from @askmerriauthor .

What a delightful box!

Oooh, the suspense is killing me!

Holy fucking shit.

Perfect for lugging booze around the Commonwealth

Space Friendship Karate Bug Man!

I fucking adore these, and can find them only on the West Coast. Given that I live three thousand miles from there, that is a difficult distance to travel for mints.

Oh my fucking lord, I love this book. I love everything about this book. This book is filled with magic and inspiration. This book is to cocktail makers what Artbooks are to people who draw things good.

UCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I still have work to do to finish Fourze up...

Thank you so very much, Merriauthor! This was a delight, and a treat! I’ll have to return the favor.~

Real Talk + Commissions

Howdy Tumblr folk.

I generally tend to keep my own daily life away from the blogs and such, but I'm afraid I'm a little short on options at this point in time.  A few of you know that I've been unemployed for the past year now; I lost my job at a video game publisher/developer studio I worked for when they made sweeping cuts to the staff.  Finding a new job since then has not been a particularly successful experience and, much to my displeasure, I'm sitting on the edge of personal financial bankruptcy right now.  While I'm fortunate enough to have family I've been able to rely upon for room and board, I still have bills that need to be paid; student loan payments most of all of the bunch.  I'm still looking for active employment but need something to supplement my rapidly dwindling funds in the meantime.

Y'all will notice I've updated the look and layout of the main blog, including adding in a little Donations button at the sidebar menu.  If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, or just happen to have more money than you know what to do with, I'd be much obliged for any spare cash you might be inclined to toss my way.  That said, I'm not just asking for handouts here.  The tip jar is just an aside.  I'll shortly be updating the layout of my mod blog as well and putting up information on Art Commissions in its own post soon to follow.

So what does this mean for the blog itself?

Overall?  Nothing.  There's not going to be any change in how things have been run so far, nor in in my posting frequency or the quality of art.  I've been at it this entire year now despite being unemployed, so there's no reason for it to change now.  I'm not charging for updates or anything like that.  I may delay posts a little to give priority to commission pieces if demand is high enough, but it's not like I have a regular posting schedule in the first place, so it shouldn't be an issue.
