Announcement: Streaming

Hey everyone!

Here’s some good news for you all: I’ll be back to streaming weekly starting June 5th! I’m getting back to streaming since I missed it (and it’s post convention).

There’s also EXTRALIFE coming back. I’ll post a schedule for it real soon. I’ll go with the same format as previously and play during Game Day.

Get Back on my Feet – Mental Health in shambles

Hello everyone!

I sincerely wish I didn’t have to do this, but here I am. Over the past few years, I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety. I’ve put myself in a bind financially because I’m currently on sick leave and that will reduce my paycheck.

A little backstory, I have depression and anxiety. I’m nowhere the most healthy person (I have diabetes), but I’m trying hard to make due. I work in a very stressful domain and, unfortunately, this has led to many sick leave due to burnout/depression. I have been proactive with therapy and meds, but I seem to never catch a break. This caused me to destroy my savings completely.

The amount will be used in different ways:

  • help me to clear some of my debt;
  • medication (I’m on a new one and I might change it again if it’s not working), my assurance only covers part of it;
  • change in my therapy.

If I get over the amount I set up, the rest will go to another charity. The amount will be given to the CHEO Foundation via Extra Life.

Thank you for your time!

Hazbin Hotel OC – Dominique Deathstar

Yes. I’ve also fallen in the hell pit that is Hazbin Hotel. XD

Introducing Dominique Deathstar, my OC. He’s Charlie’s cousin and Lucifer’s nephew. Like Charlie, he’s a Nephilim, but he’s also a sinner. His father is Azrael (Angel of Death) and a human woman. He also grew up with Alastor when they were alive. I’m not gonna reveal too much now.

Hey everyone!

I’m happy to announce that a new merch drop will happen next month. It will be on May 18th. Some jewelry and resin items will be added to the store at that date. Also, there will be a small sale from May 23rd to May 26th to celebrate Anime North (I don’t have a table this year, but I will be there). Everything in the store will be 25% off. The code is AN2024. Be aware that I will be at Anime North regardless, so anything ordered starting the 22nd will be sent starting the 27th.

Original Story– Of Crystal Tears Chapter 1

Title: Of Crystal Tears
Series: Original Story
Genre: PG-13, might go up
Warning: M/F, Vampire, Werewolf, Modern World
Disclaimer: Every character belongs to me. This is the first original work I’m publishing.

Life seemed always to give Lily a bad hand; as long as she remembered, nothing seemed to go right for her. Her family life was a nightmare to deal with thanks to a narcissistic mother, an abusive father and a golden child of a brother. Her love life was non-existent. University and her part-time job weren’t great; being a full-time student in English Literature and working as a barista part-time wasn’t what she thought she would do.

Emil is in search of his soulmate. He never thought he would find her after all these years. The problem: someone else wants her and hurt her. He just wants her to be safe and to be with her. How to do this without scaring her with his real nature.

Chapter One

Life Update: Mental Health

Hey everyone!

I rarely do this kind of post, but I wanted to give you a small life update. You might have seen my Twitter (I refuse to call it X) in the last few days, but making a longer post here is probably more apt.

I’ve been dealing with mental health issues for years now and I had a relapse recently went it came to my depression and anxiety. In the last few years, I had to take many sick leave because of it and, even if I tried so hard, it seems that I have trouble. I don’t consider this a failure, but it just shows that I need to change things. After all this time, I think that my job is really the problem. I work in healthcare. It’s not an easy place to work in and I’m gonna be very honest, I think it’s time I change place.

While I try to figure out my full-time job situation, I’m still gonna work on my art and my shop. If you guys want to support me in any way, my shop is open and I do commissions. This way, it will help me a little to do something very different from my regular schedule.
