This is the first art I’ve commissioned of any kind in at least five years and I think they did an amazing job at bringing a character that I’ve wanted for a long, long time to life! He’s too cute!

I don’t know how I missed the fact that Death Cab For Cutie have a new album out on Friday until I’ve got it in my hand at work, but still, that’s a nice surprise for the weekend

I ordered a couple of Tails stickers whilst we were at Confuzzled. They were delivered today and came with this super cute doodle of Tails on the invoice!

I've been like this all day (and I am still very warm)

Confuzzled is done for this year and overall it’s been pretty good. I’ve felt very overwhelmed but I’ve also really enjoyed seeing people I’ve not seen for ages and finally being around people suiting again. I tried to put no expectations on myself for this con and I think I did an okay job

We were driving past on the way home and an IKEA has happened

A small nerd who needs to be bullied (@moofy.dog)

I found a big, dumb dog (@truckthepolarbear.co.uk)

It’s gotta be done (as nice as ever)

It’d be rude to be in Birmingham and not make a trip to the furry cocktail bar. I always really, really enjoy this place

🌒🦊✨

Confuzzled is (very) soon and I’m feeling weird about it. The past year has been (and continues to be) quite hard and I’m unsure if I’m ready for something as “big” as a convention. I’m hoping I’ll be able to just throw myself into it and forget about everything for a while, so… we’ll see?

Today I saw a few cool cars and a cool mural and had a pretty cool day overall

I keep debating either a) renaming the bear to Herschel (I mean his name would still start with a “H”) or b) making the BMD my main fursona but I’m not sure about either and constantly dither when it comes to change. I mean I just really like the name Herschel okay

The character designs for the new Starfox remind me of the cover art for the Super Nintendo game… and I’m quite enamoured by that I’d probably get it if I had a Switch (although I’d already have one if Nintendo bothered to release a properly new F-Zero (not 99) in however many years it’s been)

I was at work and Haydo didn’t bring me any cheesecake home… (I mean they ran out but still!)

It feels like me and Pippin have linked brains today

Five years ago today we sat outside Resorts World, eating burgers on a picnic bench (it was super quiet because, y'know, early 2021). It turned out to be one of the best/ most important days of my life. Happy 5 years together @horoburr.bsky.social! 🐶❤️🐻 🎨: @olithewuffy537.bsky.social

“Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries”

let’s hang out by the field with mama

We went to Birmingham for a few hours (sadly on a tight timeframe) but still made time to see a beautiful @annatomix.bsky.social mural!

Haydo got me some excellent bear presents for my birthday! I mean… LOOK AT THEM

I wonder when I’ll feel less broken and when things will feel less difficult. Many aspects of life feel needlessly hard (as I’m sure they are for a lot of people) and man… is it increasingly draining

We saw some bears today

Happy world bear day and I'm a toon bear. Featuring some other bears @moosli.bsky.social, @horoburr.bsky.social and @codexgator.space

And here’s a final selection of bears for #worldbearday With @drakeduck.bsky.social, Brom, Macchiato, & Horo ( guest appearance by Ed Hamster, who’s not a bear ). #fursuit

Haydo is out for a little bit so I’m listening to “Fugazi - Repeater” with Pippin whilst Pippin wonders if Haydo is ever coming back (spoiler: they are) I don’t make much time to listen to records these days. I should do it more often

There was a time I loved Brewdog. I mean admittedly that time was years and years ago now but… I have some great memories of going there (particularly with @moofy.dog close to 10(!) years ago) and I feel sorry for anyone who worked in their bars who is now unemployed (1/2)

I’ve recently been rewatching Hell on Earth with Haydo (after successfully getting them into it after years of trying) and I’m not gonna lie… I forgot about this ever happening, haha

Happy Valentine’s Day to @haydo.bsky.social — I feel like I’ve been a pain in the arse with how down I’ve been this past year but you’re still here and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. Thank you for sticking around pup ❤️

It feels really strange to hear there’s been all this new Overwatch content come out since August last year and just… not feel any urge to “take a look” or play it. I wasn’t even aware it’s just been renamed back to just Overwatch and had a refresh/reboot until today (1/?)

The Seahawks won last night, maybe there is a god after all, haha

We went to a witch market and @horoburr.bsky.social bought this amazing print of a "lusty werefox" 👀 I wanna be enticed away to his castle tbh Art by Anotherrealm on Instagram/FB

I have so many photos of Pippin either asleep or looking sleepy, which is probably why iCloud keeps moaning at me that I’m running out of space… worth it though! I could probably do this kind of post on here daily for months, haha

I’m strongly considering going down the grief counselling/therapy route after rebuffing it for months as, even though I felt like I’d been doing “okay” just before Christmas, it now feels very obvious that I’m actually not doing okay after all now that life has slowed down a little

grizzy with his secret stash

I’ve nearly finished this now and damn has it worn thin by the end. I’m glad it’s almost over… long, boring levels with way, way too many “kill a load of enemies to progress” set pieces. A shame, really

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

Because I’m apparently unable to (mostly) play anything other than FPS games these days I’ve started Warhammer 40k: Boltgun. I’ve had this on my “to play” list for FOREVER and my first impressions are that it’s pretty good! I worry it’ll wear thin if it doesn’t mix up the gameplay but we’ll see!

Why am I at work for six days in a row now, I do not want this. I want to be a bear or a dog or just… something that isn’t being back at work

Anyway, I’ve made the most of my last morning off by finishing PO’ed… which was a complete slog by the time I got to end of it and I’m glad I never played it until now. It’s interesting in places but oh man was it hard work to get through

I’m back at work tomorrow after (almost) a week off and whilst I didn’t do much for most of it because of the snow and ice that overshadowed the last few days I still feel really good after relaxing and resting a lot... I just don’t wanna go back, haha

I am very, very sleepy though

The Bears won (tired as I mostly stayed up for it) and I’ve been out for a nice long, cold walk with Haydo and the sausage and now we’re gonna watch a couple of films… a good end to the weekend

The road behind our house (where we park our car) is still so iced over it’s probably not a good idea to try and go anywhere, blah… I guess it’s another “go for a couple of walks and watch some YouTube and films with the heating on” day, huh (not a bad thing!)

She’s worried about the Bears game tomorrow

It’s a new year so I changed my icon for the first time in forever. It seemed quite apt to change it to one of my all-time favourite pieces of art (which is rapidly getting close to now being a decade(!) old) of me baking… something I’d like to be doing on a cold day like today! Burr by noviraine

Please free him

I’m off work this week (apart from being in one day tomorrow to help another manager out by doing him a favour) and there’s already news trying to ruin it. Head office moving goals and expecting even more whilst giving you absolutely no more resource to make it happen. It’s January 6th, why now
