Hey guys. I hope you're all doing well and staying safe out there. I'm not sure who's going to actually read this, but I'm in a really rough patch in my life right now. I'm 20 years old (at the time of writing this) and living with a family member. I've been staying with them for a year now and things aren't looking up for me. Things are usually fine around the house, but on occasion they'll get ugly. I'll admit, I did lie to them about something stupid around the second month of me living with them. I've learned from this and never lied again for the rest of 2021. But now it seems any misinformation I give results in me being deemed a liar. And the result of that is us butting heads since they think I'm lying and I'm trying to prove otherwise. Unfortunately, today it happened again. At night, there was a horn going off and it was right outside my window so I checked outside to see if it was their truck. My window is right next to the front porch that has a bright lamp atop a stand right in front of their truck. I look around and all I can really see is the light provided by the lamp. Then the horn just stopped on it's own (which isn't normal as far as I'm aware) so I dismissed it as someone else's problem. They asked and I said I didn't see their truck lights flashing so it wasn't their truck (I should've said the horns stopped by themselves too in retrospect). This goes on for two more nights. The third day I wake up and it turned out it was their truck going off. I apologized and said I must've made a mistake but they're going on about how I lied about the whole thing. About being blocked from seeing the truck lights. Now we're going wait until night to see if I was telling the truth about being obscured from seeing his truck lights. Ridiculous. This is terrible because, one, I don't like butting heads with adult family members. And two, I could be kicked out with nowhere to live. I want to keep providing art to try and pursue my dream of being a freelancer, but it's not looking too good right now.

Hey guys. I've entered a very, very rough time in my life. I'm on the verge of being homeless. I'm thinking of setting up a Patreon page. Not only because I need the money, but I also want to continue doing what I love- drawing. But, unfortunately, I can't really draw "just for fun" anymore. Some potential rewards could be monthly requests, adoptables, shout outs, and early access to my new art. Just know even pledging for $1 a month is helpful. It shows you care and want to support me. Thank you. :)

I've been afraid to ask this for awhile, but I think now is a very important time to get it off my chest. If I opened up cheap commissions, would anyone want to buy them?

If I made a Pokémon webcomic series, who would read it? .o.

Rest in peace, Adobe Flash Player.

The cherry on top of a crap year.

I fondly remember going to my Grandma's house and running to her old desktop to play flash games with my older brother.

Coolmath, Poptropica, and Funbrain  were my favorite websites to visit at school.


Even if some of those flash games aren't going anywhere, it's not going to be as easily accessible as before. Not by a long shot.

Before you just had to look up "flash games" on Google. Now you'll have to download a whole software. And not everyone wants to do that.

A big chapter of the internet is unfortunately coming to a close. And I can only hope, with the end of Adobe Flash, they'll replace it with something even greater than the original.

Thanks for all the memories, Adobe Flash Player.
