I wanted to try something a bit different this year which meant wading into one of my worst areas (Landscapey thingies) but I keep trying to keep each annual different from the last in at least some way. I wanted to render it a bit more but unfortunately been on off sick with something just recently so have hit the point where I'm fiddling more ( Read more... )

I've been in this weird state since Fluffy died. A sort of acceptance he's gone I guess? I've not broken down anywhere near as much as I thought I would. I think that is largely to do with how he died. He wasn't put to sleep, he decided to go when the vet had done everything to save him.

Miss you like crazy Yas. It really doesn't feel like over a year since I last spoke to you, I still expect you to pop up any minute.

So this is it. Exactly one year ago was the last time I ever spoke to Yas. It still feels surreal, like it's all one big mistake and she'll just pop up and rant about some stupid shit thats happened ( Read more... )

Before Yas went into hospital the final time, I promised it'd likely take forever, but we would get the Dark Phoenix Hatchling for her that requires 55 exalted reps (?!) since being there was just 5 of us the Raid Dark Phoenix as gorgeous as it is is just impossible. Today my mother on her main Iolo dinged exalted with Anglers making it finally ( Read more... )

For those who left home on behalf of others,
To those who returned, those who have lost,
To those who remained alive only in whisper and memory,
From times past to times now,
Those still fighting, those still recovering.

We honor you and your memories on this day so that the past may never be forgotten so that we may learn for what may come in the ( Read more... )

The Pandas say maybe they'll do something next year, two new items were added (Which are just the exact same thing in a different form for the third year running) and no new stein AGAIN. Oh and the apples still refuse to pick up half the damn time.

She'd have a rant about now, we will for you don't worry.
