Are you taking commissions? ヽ(=^・ω・^=)丿

ALAS… no, I am not at the moment. I have a very long post here explaining why, but the “short version” is this:

  • I owe too many people art already 
  • I’m very behind on my personal projects (DANGEROUS CUTE!!!)

And… I can’t really work on either of those right now because I have lymphedema as a side effect of cancer treatments years ago, and have been unable to afford the stuff I need to manage it. Sitting at a desk to do digital art aggravates the condition and puts me more at risk for things like micro tears and blood clots, which could result in death. It’s also really painful, especially after I work an office job for 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, and usually have to stand for the 30min train ride home. 

But hopefully I will be able to afford treatments in the next couple of months, and that will enable me to get back to work on these things, get caught up, start preparing for conventions again, livestream sessions, etc. 

This is also why all of my art lately has been really crappy cell phone photos of sketches on paper… because I would have to sit at my desk to use my scanner. Whew. 

Thank you for asking, though! When/if I am open for commissions in the future, I will be sure to post here and let you know! 😀 

Red velvet isn’t even a chocolate cake so that may be why you like it. It’s a buttermilk cake that uses a small amount of cocoa powder, I believe originally added to help make it that red color through some crazy chemistry thing (there’s a pretty interesting history behind it)

With the PH and all? Yeah, you’re probably right. Mmmm red velvet is delicious. 

I wonder why the devil’s food, though… is it the melted chocolate in normal cakes that I have trouble with? Am I not opposed to cocoa powder? 

I like hot cocoa when it’s watered down and smothered in whipped cream… 

Did anyone get mad at you for shipping onions?

No, though I do still feel bad that my curry recipe has been shared so many times with yellow onion on it instead of white. I used to make it with yellow, but find that white onion makes it taste so much better.

…oh man now I want to make curry. Aahhh where is my crock pot?! 

What is Epic Conan Fanfic?

Epic Conan Fanfic is the RP/fanfic that my friend cloverkite and I have been writing for the last… gosh, it’s been 5 years, now. It’s well over 300k so far, and we have tons and tons of things planned. She writes half of the cast, I write the other half, and it’s incredibly fun and, as the title suggests, epic. 

The story is actually called The Call of the Raven, but I always call it Epic Conan Fanfic because I still feel like a huge nerd for being so excited about it. 😉 

For the curious, the premise is that Kaito founds out that he and Shinichi are related, and it doesn’t go over very well when he tells Conan. However, after several events, they decide to team up and take down the Organization together.

Ahhh. <3

I saw that you haven’t been able to attend cons lately. What’s been the major obstacle? Any cons you particularly hope to attend in the future?

Money. Money is always the problem. :/ I would go into a huge sob story rn about my troubles, but I don’t know how much that would help. We’re just broke and we have been broke and sometimes (like today), I can’t see any way out of this and I just get home from work and cry. 

But cons I want to go to… FurCon, RainFurrest, AnthroCon, BLFC, any number of anime cons (Texas?!), comic cons…  not to mention writing cons… haha. 

I miss going to cons. And selling at cons. And drawing with people. And just.. bleh, cons are so much fun. T_T; 

Money why…
