My 31st birthday
Posted a day agoHappy birthday to me. It did get off to a shaky start, didn’t get to sleep until about 2am. No more caffeine for me. But then again, something like that was bound to happen, today is Friday the 13th after all. For now, I’m just going to enjoy the day
My holiday is now a priority
Posted a month agoAfter 2 more commissions planned for this year, i’m going to take a break from commissioning people for a year. It’s mostly because I’ve got plans to see Tokyo in November 2025. May just be for a week, but I’ve been dreaming about this holiday for 24 years! Even planning 2025’s spends this month for it. I just hope I can keep to it, I’ve been having money problems since I was 6. I’m just too tempted, plus, when I stress, I spend. Mostly on food. Fingers crossed I can keep to it
I am not looking forward to tomorrow
Posted 2 months agoTomorrow, I’ve got a doctor’s appointment. I won’t say what it’s about, but it’ll be very uncomfortable. Good thing I’ve been making myself ready for it over the week. And today I’ll need to take medicine for the appointment, and that will not be fun. But if it’s got to be done, it’s got to be done. I’ll let you guys know how I’m feeling on Saturday
FA’s back, baby
Posted 3 months agoThat was a scary time, with FA’s back online, I can now talk to a lot of my friends again. I would say something bad to whoever did the hijack, but I’ll let karma do its work. I hope everyone was okay during the past 2 days
There goes another one
Posted 6 months agoI just learned that my Uncle Pete has died last weekend. I knew something felt off. I knew him very well. I don’t know how old he was, but I knew he lead a good life. Rest in peace Uncle Pete
Could this dream mean something?
Posted 7 months agoI had this unusual dream, which is unusual because I don’t remember my dreams. If I can recall it correctly, I dreamed that I found this hole in my wall, just big enough to crawl through, with to me back in time about 30 years. I couldn’t tell where I was, but I knew I was in England, and I met this family that seamed very familiar to me. I spent about a year there, with a janitor job at a local school, making friends, helping people out, and the occasional time, I even turned lives around. All without telling anyone about the future. Within that year, I did pickup a few souvenirs, kept a journal, took photos, and most of the money I earned I was putting in a savings account because the mother I was living with had her first child in that year, and the savings account was for the child. All £375 of it. When the year passed, i decided to go back home. In return for letting me stay with them, I let them keep something from my time. Nothing much, just a book. And in return, they gave me a Kodak DC40 camera. I knew it wasn’t the end for me of my relationship with the family, so i decided to give them my address to use when I’m back home, afterwards, I said my goodbyes and returned home, carrying my souvenirs with me in a bag on my back, and returned home. The following day, I checked for that whole again, but it wasn’t there anymore. But all was not loss. I got a letter that day from the family I was staying with 30 years ago, asking to meet with me, mostly because they said i forgot something. I woke up about then, I’m not sure why I had the dream, but I will say this. I’ve never had a dream like that before
This is a surprise
Posted 9 months agoMy dad has told me he planning to book a surprise for me in London next month, but the ring is, he’s given me no clues to what it is, not even a date. All he’s told me is the city it’ll be in. Ive got a few ideas on what it may be, but nothing concrete on what it’ll be. I mean, London’s 607 square miles, so who know what it’ll be. This was quite the surprise because he and I haven’t been on good terms since I came out to him as a furry (he’s not too keen on them, who knows why) I’ll be sure to create a journal about what it is when the time comes
2023
Posted a year ago2023 was a very shaky year for me, I lot a lot of money, got scared by a new policy, and my anxiety hit a whole new level. But it had some good things too. Started to make peace with my dad, saw some anniversaries, and my 30th birthday. Not to mention I ended up getting enough bravery to see 3 horror movies this year, M3GAN, Willy’s Wonderland, and the movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s. As 2024 is just hours away, I’ve been looking at possible plans for the new year. I’ll be saving some money for my trip to Tokyo in November, seeing a few movies, get back into running, which I haven’t been able to since the pandemic, and fingers crossed, find a way to make a permanent peace with my dad. I better start planning in my diary what to do when. I wish everyone a happy new year, and see you all in 2024
Away for Christmas
Posted a year agoI’m going away for Christmas tomorrow, I’ll probably be back just in time for New Year’s Eve, depending on a few things. If I don’t talk to anybody before I leave, I wish you all a merry Christmas
Today’s my 30th birthday
Posted a year agoToday, I’m officially 30 years old. I’ve got a good amount of gifts already, and I’m going make today a rest day for me. Which I think should be allowed for everyone on there birthday
I’m back, and I’m reevaluating myself
Posted a year agoI’m back, I took longer than expected to come back because I felt built out, and I had a new personal low in my life. I’m okay now, and I’m starting to rethink my life, especially with my 30th birthday coming up next month. First off, I’ve realised that I’m spending too much on a lot of things I like, including commissions. Don’t worry, I do love getting commissions from other people, it’s just that I have trouble controlling myself sometimes, so, I’m going to limit myself on that, just 2 more commissions this year, and I’m going to take a break from commissioning people. Especially since I’ve got a holiday coming up in November 2024. Second, I’m going to resume drawing soon, I’ve read and reread that FA policy that got people scared, and I’m sure I’m in the clear on that. I won’t be as frequent as I used to be, maybe one or two drawings a month. Yeah, I’ll resume uploading in 2024, but I can’t say how frequently I’ll be uploading pictures. Thirdly, since the covid pandemic in 2020, my confidence has been shaken like crazy, and my anxiety spiked. So, I’m going to start going out more, to try to find some more friends offline, who knows? Some of the friends I made on FA I’ll meet IRL, but only time will tell on that. Forty, I’ve been working on conquering some of my fears, I won’t say what fears I’ve got, but over my break, I’ve been able to get rid of one of them, which was horror movies. Not easy, but not impossible either. And lastly, for as long as I can remember, me and my dad have been arguing and fighting for years, even in my preteen years, and I’m fed up of constantly arguing with him, he’s in his early 50’s, and I fear the arguments will lead him and me to losing contact with him when he retires. So, on my next visit to him, and every visit afterwards, I’m going to try to make amends with him. And that alone will be a challenge, we’re both hotheads, and we easily lose our cool with each other, but I’ll try to work things out with him.
For now, I think I’ll just focus on getting my walking back to a stable pace again, I’ll talk to you guys soon, and stay safe everyone

I’m going to take a break
Posted a year agoI’m still here, but I’m not uploading because the policy has got me too worried to upload. But that’s not the reason why I’m taking a break, I’m just feeling really stressed out lately. It’s even made me quit a game I was playing on mental health reasons, so, I’m going to take a break for the month. I’ll still be on socials, just not as much. I need this break because I’ve been feeling stressed out all year and last year, so, I’m going to take August off to destress and recenter myself. I’ll see you again in September
The new policy has got me worried
Posted a year agoI don’t know if any of my art will violate the new policy, and I really don’t want to move to another site, I’ve got a lot of friends on FA. I’ve sent a ticket to ask for some help with this, mostly because I don’t know what to do at the moment. For now, I’ll still continue to draw, but I’m holding off uploading anything until I get some clarification. I’m just hoping that none of my artwork will violate the policy update
I’m open for commissions
Posted a year agoI’m open for commissions, mostly to help with a small bill I need to pay off to my old energy supplier. They’re asking for about GBP£52. I know it’s not much these days, but they’ve given me 2 months to pay for it. I’ll take donations too for it, PayPal’s helpfuldragon231[at]gmail.com if you want to help. And before anyone asks, no, this will not affect my planned commissions, I’ve delayed most of them because of this anyway
Glad I made it though
Posted a year agoYesterday I had to keep my guard up all the time, I didn’t want to be an April fool again, luckily, I wasn’t. And I was able to see ahead on things like Google, YouTube and with my family that they were all going to prank me. Being pranked in my dreams don’t count for me because I don’t remember my dreams unless there’s something in them that makes me. And I didn’t remember my dream last night. So, for the first time in 20 years, I was not an April Fool
Offline for the day tomorrow
Posted a year agoI’m staying completely offline tomorrow due to it being April fools day, and I always ALWAYS get tricked on the day. So, for all of the first of April, I won’t be online, my phone will be on aeroplane mode, and I’m not turning the TV on. The TV one is so I don’t get tricked by the shows I watch. See you April 2nd
After the planned ones, I’m taking a break from commiss...
Posted a year agoI’ve got 6 commissions planned in the near future, but after those, I’ll be taking a break from commissioning people. This is because I’ve got plans to go to Tokyo in 2024 and a road trip in June of this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love to commission my friends, its just that this road trip is going to be a long journey, and I’ve been dreaming of seeing Tokyo since 2000, and I’ve been planning both for a while now. It’ll probably give me a chance to focus on my own art as well, haven’t been drawing for a while anyway
What’s wrong with me?
Posted a year agoI’ve had a sore throat for a week now, it’s not going away, but it’s better than what it was like when I got it. And now eat problems? I hope it’s nothing too bad
Looks like I’ll need a new T.V.
Posted 2 years agoMy T.V. is no longer working, I tried everything to get it working again, but nothing worked. I think it blew a fuse inside the T.V. itself. But I’ll get a new one next month
2023
Posted 2 years agoHappy new year everyone. You know? 2022 was a bit of a challenging year for me, I won’t go into full details why, but let’s just say somemistakes were made on my end in 2022. But that’s the thing about mistakes, you learn from them. The hardest point for me for 2022 for when The Queen died, which made me go into a very deep depression, but I’m out of that now. Good thing too, I’ve got two holidays (vacations) in 2023, and I can’t be depressed over those, and I’ll be seeing 2023 as a promising year. I mean, I’ve got a lot coming up in 2023. 2 holidays (vacations) two of my favourite shows having anniversaries, my 30th birthday in December, and a big road trip thoughout all of June. My four New Year’s resolutions are to loose 20kg(3.15st) in weight, walk 3000 miles (4808.23km) outside my flat, save four grand, and make a true permanent peace with my irl dad. I hope 2023 will be kind to everyone
Take care everyone, and again, Happy New Year
Take care everyone, and again, Happy New Year
Off for Christmas
Posted 2 years agoMy dad’s picking me up today so I can be with my family for Christmas, good thing I just got 1 gift left to wrap, 8 cards to write and 1 more item to put in the Christmas Eve box before he arrives. I’ll be back on the 28th or 29th, if I don’t get a chance to talk to anybody until I’m back, I wish you all a merry Christmas
I had a great day yesterday
Posted 2 years agoA good number of gifts, few drawings, lunch out with my dad, even my little sister came over from her city to see me. I even had a cheesecake for my birthday cake as well. I did wake up later than usual from a sugar crash, but that’s okay. I see that as a sign of a great birthday
29th birthday
Posted 2 years agoToday’s my 29th birthday! It did start off a little shaky with the baby living upstairs to me crying, waking me up at 4am, but I’m not going to let that ruin my day. With my dad taking me out for lunch, and a number of gifts to get, I’m sure it’ll be a great day. And I’ll be honest, at first, I was nervous about my birthday this year, mostly because I’m nearly middle age, and my spring years are almost over. But those nerves are gone. After all, you only live once, so, you gotta make the most out of it
Found my laptop, but it’s bittersweet
Posted 2 years agoOkay, I have good news and bad news for me. The good news is, after what feels like two years, I have found my laptop once again, and it still works. Bad new is, it’s had its last available update due to age
Road trip for me in June 2023
Posted 2 years agoI’ve been planning since April this year to go on a road trip in June 2023, route’s already planned and the destinations are all confirmed. I just need to book on the hotels and train tickets, get my scrapbook and notebook ready, get a few disposable cameras, and talk to my family because I’ll be seeing some of them on my trip, and plan my activities for each location I’m going to. It was going to be 30 days to begin with, but I’m going for 31 days instead, because my last destination on the road trip is my dad’s house, and he prefers it if I saw him over a weekend, due to work, which I completely understand. Over the road trip when I have a good signal, I’ll write a journal about my time at the locations I’m visiting. I hope it all goes well
