Happy Family Day, Canadians! 🍁 Family isn't always blood, and blood isn't always family. It's important to remember that, these days. :)

Oh no, I found an even older one... 😭 2018. #oldart #comic

While I'm on here, happy V-Day and happy 7-year anniversary (?!) to this Q&A comic about Davie's annual Valentine's traditions and whether or not he'd ask his bodyguard Tink out on a date. #myart #oldart #comic

Admittedly we're still in pretty rough shape, but the lights are staying on and the internet is still working. (Which is good, as our VoIP landline is how we unlock the front door LOL.) I said I'd make it up to folks, and I meant it. Here's my plan... (cont'd)

I'm trying to send out personal "thank you" messages where I can, but to those of you who have so far donated anonymously: Thank you, so much. From myself, my partner Kev, and our daughter Cat. (I can afford both my medications for the month AND eggs! Both! At the same time! Living in luxury!)

Ohhhh I am sobbing like a baby. Completely overwhelmed. I'll write something a bit less... Scattered in the morning, but holy heck y'all. Considering how long I've been away/sick I was not expecting this kind of support. I love you all so fuckin' much. My heart is very full right now. -⚗

Okay, with that posted now I can get back to figuring out this Doodle Drive and how it's gonna work. This isn't exactly how I expected to get back into digital art, but I'm gonna make it work anxiety be damned. I always feel uncomfortable if I can't give *something* in return, lol.

Please, I desperately need help. Bills are coming due and I've already been skipping meals/my vitamins to stretch funds. This week the dispensing fee for two of my medications pushed us into the negative. The bank (ironically) will fine us $5/day in this state. (cont'd) #MutualAid #HelpSky

Hooookay. Welp. Here we go... Pride-swallowing time.

In aviation emergencies, you are told to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others put theirs on, because your dead corpse can't save anyone. It's okay to put your oxygen mask on first. You deserve to be okay, too.

There's so much shit going on in the world right now that my problems feel infinitely tiny and insignificant. I feel like I should be helping others with everything I've got, not asking for help myself. Eugh.

Do you ever feel like you're on the edge of a complete breakdown, but not close enough to the edge for the anxiety and dread to kick in?

So turns out if you target-lock an NPC and toggle autorun, the camera-lock forces a poor-man's "follow" command. Short attention spans, rejoice! #FFXIV

it's only been a week into 2026 and i'm already feeling like

I hear some folks have been looking for me. Trying to get some pretty serious life stuff in order, sorry if I've worried anyone.

Aaaaand my growing teenager goddess bless her has eaten all of my dinner. 😢

Just got to have the most fucking uncomfortable conversation IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER where our landlord repeatedly tried to justify the laundry room's $6/load cost while we replied less and less subtly that THE SPECIFIC NUMBER DOESN'T MATTER when you're choosing between groceries and clean clothes.

I may not be American, but I'm feeling a glimmer of hope tonight for every one of my American cousins. Whether you're a fighter, or fighting to survive, you deserve hope. You deserve equity. Prosperity. Comfort. A glimpse at the road forward, and to see something other than dark clouds looming.

I bend over to ruffle through a coat looking for my keys when Michael Myers' stalk music starts loudly around me. My instincts silently scream "OH SHIT WHERE??" I then remind myself Cat & Kev are watching Halloween literally 8 feet from where I'm standing. Dead by Daylight is a drug. 😰

I love how when I suggested a few xmas gift ideas for her motorcycle-loving boyfriend my mother basically told me not to bother unless whatever I bought was name-brand. Woman, I am POOR. The hell do you want from me???

Ghost in a bottle

I like the lunar event in #thatskygame. It's a moment of thought and calm (and bunnies) before the chaos of Days of Mischief. The addition of the pavilion and memorial lanterns was a nice touch.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

TL;DR: My partner is stuck in an abusive job and can't quit because his work insurance is the only reason we can afford my meds, so I'm preparing a doodle drive with the goal of covering my meds long enough for him to switch jobs. Not yet, but soon. Details: www.tumblr.com/faranae/7967...

HOLY FUCK KEV BROUGHT HOME FRUIT 🍌🍇LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🍌🍇

Indulged today and had the last of the white rice drizzled with maple syrup. 6/10; Decent utilization of leftover condiments. Bit dry after a few hours, though.

Seeing as how I've eaten nothing but cereal and school-snack-packs of bear paw cookies for 3 days straight I should probably get that commission post up and running. -_-;

I'm trying to get my setup somewhat less of a fire hazard. My hands ache. :<

Hosted 3+1 boisterous teenagers for my kid's b-day sleepover last night. Turned the group of "do we have to watch the cartoon?"s into "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S ONLY ONE EPISODE"s with the Knights of Guinevere pilot. Life is good.

Robert Munsch, a beloved Canadian author of children's books, has chosen to defy his dementia and Parkinson's diagnoses and die with dignity using MAID (medically assisted death). His books were my childhood, and my baby sister's 9 years later. My now-teen read them, and soon so will my niblings.

Nana collapsed after she got home from Grandpa's funeral 2 weeks ago. She was found after a few days, and sent to the hospital. She's okay now, but this has been an absolute nightmare. I just want a return to normalcy... I'm quite sick of grieving, thank you very much.

Finally had grandpa's burial, after 5 months. Made it real. When I was at my lowest as a little kid, he'd steal me away for a few days if things at home got too intense. He tried his hardest to give me a dose of humanity when I felt like property. He's the reason I kept my name.

So Skykids, what are your thoughts on that extra scene at the end of tonight's live screening of The Two Embers? Nice of them to give us a peek at the Dawn Ember now that Dusk's story is over. #skycotl #thatskygame (Also, does this confirm that the child from the Steam launch trailer is Dawn?)

I really do live in a world where my friend can draw fan art for the cult my daughter leads and that's just-- A thing. That's just a thing that can happen.

As reluctant as I was to let Cat have a Discord account, I must admit that being in her group chats has its advantages.

At 71, voice actor James Carter Cathcart (also known in the early days by Jimmy Zoppi) has passed away. I'm sad now. :( So many iconic voices. Meowth, James, Prof Oak, Vector the Croc, Maeno... #pokemon #jamescartercathcart #teamrocket #meowth

This heat is killing me. Nausea, headache, bleh. Is it autumn yet? 😭

Scolding Student is VERY enthusiastic about the parade it seems. Celebrating 6 years of #thatskygame! Happy SkyFest!

Here is an instrument I invented, play and write for. It's a Bamboo stalk with 8 strings spiraling around it. Played with a bow it sounds something like Cello with a more harmonic rich tone. It's pretty tall, about 6 and a half feet in height. Enjoy! : ] #art #music #workshop #instruments

Good evening #butterfly enjoyers, tonight I chose a Purple Emperor for #Vibrantophile for a wonderful royal purple swatch. We are coming up on the last week of this challenge and I’m also told it’s #InsectWeek! #BugSky #ArtChallenge #ColorChallenge #HumanMadeArt #HumanMade #Procreate #digitalArt

Not enough copium in the world, mates.... Not enough...

If someone brings up drama about someone you know, remember you're not in highschool anymore. Reach out to the person and get clarity instead of believing it outright. People will lie or share misinformation without even realizing.

ಠ╭╮ಠ I have discovered that the heat is also why all of my goddamn rollerball pens are dropping globs of ink while I write! AAAAAAA--

"You could probably do really well posting your essays as a newsletter." My brother in Hydaelyn, I know nothing about newsletters. I have a blog to which I post my opinions and pseudo-educational essays out of fun or frustration; Who the heck wants that in their inbox let alone to pay for it lmao

It's humid enough that all of my notebooks are warping. AAAaaaaa-- ಥ_ಥ

It feels so barren on here, and it really makes me feel weird jumping straight into Art Fight without putting some sort of history on my BSky. (┬┬﹏┬┬) I should get around to doing that history thread, lol.
