Merry Christmas everybody. Hope you'll have a good Christmas this year. And if you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays.

I have three Invite Codes to BlueSky, the better alternative to Twitter/Brand X. If anyone wants those to join, must be a watcher, not a dead account, at least somewhat active on socials, and 18 or older. I don't want to give these away to some randoms who'll waste them.

Comment or DM me if interested in either.

I wanna thank those who comforted me during my very difficult time of my mother's sudden passing. This was the most horrible experience of my life....least so far but I don't wanna think about that. For those who knew me personally, my relationship with my mother was estranged and dysfunctional but deep down I loved her. When I was given the news that she passed away, my heart broke into pieces. I never got the chance to say "I love you" or "goodbye". What was even worse was I was sick so I couldn't see her during that period. And now that's she's gone, I've been beating myself up in never getting to see her one more time, even if there was no hint of her health failing.

But I will announce that during that time, I've been comforted by loved ones as we too mourned her. My father, my kin, my siblings, even my friends. They were all with me throughout the entire time. Now that we laid my mother to rest, I think she would have wanted me to carry on. And that's what I'm going to do. I will still miss her so much. I'll never forget some of the good times we had and the life she gave me. I know she loved all her children.

I wanna thank you to those who stuck by me and helped me during this tragic moment in my life. You all helped me keep strong and I'm ready to keep doing the things I loved.

And lastly as I don't wanna ignore this, but I'm not the only one who had lost a parent this month. My beloved @ThunderWolfang had his father gone home to Heaven as well. To anyone who also comforted him in his time of need, I thank you all as well.

And as for my mother and to Emi's father: may you both rest in peace. We love you and we'll miss you so much.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take a hiatus from art for a while. My mother passed away this morning and my world has fallen apart. I need some time to grieve. I'm sorry to everyone if I owe anything.

Wow, today marks ten years since I joined this site. While I haven't really started using it until around 2018, I'm really glad I joined this place. It's been my 3rd home to post my works, other than dA or FA. I'm happy to have made it here. Thank you to all those who followed me here.

So it's with a heavy heart that I announce my job as a ride operator has ended for the season. Our theme park is packing it up for the season and won't reopen until May next year. Thus unless I get a new job, I'm once again unemployed. I'm a little saddened as I've grown to that place, though I won't miss the annoying guests and the screaming kids, lmao. But I will miss my co-workers as they've been the most awesome people I've ever worked with. They were the most understanding folks and we all looked out for each other. I even felt safe whenever I had to call in sick that while I'm sick on my last days, I decided to work through it to see to the last days and spend time with them. Before we all went home for the season, we had one last call and rode some of the rides. I felt like a kid again before I would clock out for one more time. I will miss them.

On the bright side, while I figure out what to do: I now have more free time to work on commissions and any projects or personal arts before the year will end. For those who are still waiting, I deeply apologize. If you wish to know, I haven't forgotten as I have any commission owed written down at my Trello: https://trello.com/b/0yQMCCJx/to-do-list

For those waiting very patiently, I thank you for putting up with me. I promise you will have them done before the year is over.

And lastly, I will spend some other time to make adopts just to make a little pocket money, hopefully. Check at my adoptables account here: https://www.deviantart.com/funfancyfree-adopts or at these links here: https://toyhou.se/NickyVendetta/characters/folder:1751221

Anyway, that's the update. Thank you all for putting up with me and for supporting me these past months with this short employment. Maybe next year if I'm lucky, I can return when they open again. Maybe.....

So I caved, got an invite code, and joined BlueSky. Hopefully it'll be a better joint than Twatter/Brand X. (Fuck Twitter!) If you have a BS, give me a follow.

So Musk fucked up Twatter even more by just renaming it “X”. Might as well rename it “Brand X”.

Makes me relieved I never bothered joining that dumpsterfire of a site even before he came to ruin it more. 🤷‍♀️

Hey anybody reading this. If you stopped by and read this, I have something to announce. I got a new job finally. I start tomorrow. What does this mean for commissions I owe? I'll still get to them while I can. Be sure to check my Trello on what I owe you and if I'm making progress. https://trello.com/b/0yQMCCJx/to-do-list I apologize for any inconvience. I wasn't getting by with commissions or adoptables anymore. Wish me luck on my new job.
