So I said I'd do more art...and well...

So - a week and a half ago I hurt my drawing/dominant hand. Badly. It was over the scaphoid area and we were very worried it was a fracture. I had medical attn, and finally they did determine that it's... ...a 'catastrophic dislocation' with ligament involvement (why my thumb was stiff and refusing the usual range of motion) and cartilage eroded. Bright side: no cast. Down side: 6-8 weeks healing time, I have to use my support at night without question (when a person sleeps they relax, when an EDS person sleeps their bones leave the fucking country!) to stop my wrist flopping over and allowing my busted up parts to heal. I have to do physio at home for it, including resistance to get muscles working again. If in a few weeks time my wrist is still clicking and painful, I have to go back for consideration of 'conservative methods' (cough surgery). So no art. At least not with my main hand... dun dun DUN - I suck drawing left handed

But at least, no cast, just in time for my birthday... which is today uk time! I'M OLD! Whew! So that's what happened, just gotta try and heal up best I can. EDS can go f*** itself. (like I seriously dislocated my whole feckin' wrist/hand in my SLEEP. SLEEP. And it relocated slowly which is why I was almost out of my mind in pain for so long... and even now it's 'we're thinking it's this, it's hard to tell with anything scaphoid'. HVCKHVBQWHEJCVKDHV)

SHE LIIIIIIVES

Okay so there's been some time since I last used my Tumblr, and I guess we'd better chat - HI, how are ya? This will be a decent chat, I'll do us all a favour and pop it behind a careful little barrier so you can read at your leisure. Before that! WHERE AM I? Find me at these places: TWITTER/X: Bhryn BSKY: It's still Bhryn CARA: Take a wild guess - Bhryn Ao3 (it's ALL Fire Emblem not sorry!): Bhryn Astairre What's happening with Bhryn/Ferai? Well...

It's been a long time coming, but I think almost anyone who had been close to me has known this was going to turn up one day. And hey, I had a good long run. I never finished Endwalker. I got to around level 77? I think? And I just... didn't feel it anymore. I told myself I'd go back when my interest picked up. It never did. I instead became a lot more invested in other things, and took a huge break from everything to try dealing with my declining health. To that end; thank you, for all the wonderful friends I made on FFXIV, for the fun times we had. But it's time I moved on. I have no immediate or long term plans to return to FFXIV, and I wish everyone who still plays a great, fun time with the game going forward. I won't say for certain that I'm leaving, but I know for now, it's far back on the shelf for me. A large part in this is my decline in health. I'm currently bedbound - I wasn't a couple of years ago, but times change! You just have to roll with the punches. One of these is having a frankly rubbish laptop that wheezes when I play Content Warning and Lethal Company. I dread to think how on fire it would be if I tried even loading the FFXIV benchmark! I also made the choice to get a Steamdeck rather than a new laptop. This laptop still runs my art programmes and lets me write and talk to friends, so I don't need the upgrade badly (I say, side-eyeing the loud and grating noises it keeps making on waking up from sleep with nervousness). The other big punch is the worsening of my hands. Years ago I mentioned to my friends and followers that my EDS was never going to settle for just being a pain in my hip, knees, neck... any joint basically. EDS was always going to be a slow progression. I fought hard against it, and I'm still fighting! To the best of my abilities! But there came a point when finishing off a piece of work for a client, that I realised I simply didn't have the physical stamina or the dexterity in my hands/fingers to do long term brief work anymore. This loss of skillful motion has affected me playing games. I used to joke about having 'old lady reflexes' but honestly, I really do have them now! So I stripped back artwork to be 'just for me, just for fun'. The same for games. Anything that I cannot play well on a controller? Not worth it. I can play Ninja in ffxiv on a controller, but we come back to my Craptop Self Immolating if I tried. So what happens now to me? Now, I try and relax best I can (I caught the Rona four weeks ago, I'm still sore throat and itching in my chest/wheezing/terrible crackling in my chest) and work on my surroundings to give myself the best chance going forward to improve my life. This tumblr, when I made it, it was for me to play my FFXIV character. I have a couple of choices open to me, but I think I would like to change it completely over to an art and writing blog, just in general. To do that, I would have to go and take my username from my old blog and put it on this one. OR, I let this stay as an idle blog and dust off my old tumblr and move ahead with that. I'm still undecided! But, whatever I choose, I want you to remember; You're great. Be kind, do kind things, leave the world better than how you found it. You got this. You always did. With love; Me xxx

How the heck did F76 make it to 4 years old???

Anyway, my ingame 76er, sniper cop in a skele outfit, because why not.

Rhialle. I miss Sai so much, it's probably my favourite art suite of all time, I'M SO SAD IT'S NOT ON THE FREAKIN' ANDROID WHYYYY

[bhryn-art]

Rhialle

Bosmer. Ahhh Bosmer. Keto Elves used to eat their fallen enemies - waste not want not. It's fallen out of practise largely in the modern times. But Rhialle isn't from Skyrim era, she's ESO era. ...and you look delicious.

Is it true? Female presenting nipnops are once again on the menu?
