My cat has an upcoming surgery. I have just enough for the entire surgery, but I do want a safety net in case of any issues, especially any unexpected expenses from the vet.

I'm not asking for free money- if you have like, 5 dollars you'd like to use for a commission, that's more than enough.

My GoFundMe has been updated. Mostly looking now to recouping shipping cost of my PCs so that I can resume work. Thanks for looking, and to those who helped me get this far.

My name is Slurku, and I am a freelance artist based in Nevada. Today, I am reaching out to my community in hopes of receiving some assistance, as I am facing significant financial hardships.

Recently, I relocated to Nevada to start fresh after making the difficult decision to place my father—who I had been living with in Ohio—into assisted living due to complications from dementia. Given my circumstances, I was no longer able to provide the care he needed.

Originally, my partner of nearly 20 years was supposed to accompany me on this journey. However, on the very last day, they abandoned me—fleeing to the other side of the country after years of deception. They used me, lied to me for two years about the true state of our relationship, and left me in an empty room with all of our things packed, knowing I had no way to ship them myself. To make matters worse, they stole $100 from me before they disappeared.

With no other choice, I had to leave nearly everything behind—my clothes, my personal belongings, and all of my art supplies. Thanks to some local friends, I was able to send my work equipment, such as my PCs, but beyond that, I have almost nothing left to my name.

I am deeply grateful for the generosity I have received so far, and I wanted to update my story, as my previous description was no longer accurate. I am once again asking for any assistance I can get—particularly for a desk, an office chair, and a few other items that will allow me to resume commission work, continue my creative endeavors, and pursue remote job opportunities. My goal amount remains the same, as it would be enough to help me stay afloat for a short while.

If you would like to purchase these items directly for me, I have included an Amazon wishlist below. Otherwise, any form of help and kindness is truly appreciated. I am also offering commissions and have a Ko-fi available for those who would like to support me in that way.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

For the love of God, do not let Otto find out you can regenerate. He will crash out and he will start doing diabolical unholy things to you in a fight now that he knows that you can take a hit from him. Boy has most definitely done the Robin Double Knee Drop on someone.

Otto's eyes are designed to contain multiple kinds of sight. From having simple flashlights installed to having super complex visors like Infrared, X-Ray, and Echolocation.

....This also means that Otto's eyes do that glow in the dark thing....like a fucking cryptid.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING

[ @ycungmagick ]: "Is it okay if we doing something quiet for my birthday, love? Like a nice picnic with a bonfire and a few friends?"

( Thanks for the ask @ycungmagick )

"Of course it'd be okay, hun." Otto nods always happy to see the witch, "It's your day, after all. Whatever you want to do, you name it, We'll do it. So long as I get spend more time with you. I'm happy either way."

"Speaking of which~" The ends of the automaton's scarf come alive and offer up to her a wrapped box tied with a bow, "Happy Birthday, Ophie~"

"I'm sorry it had to end like this. I wish I could have saved you."

“Have a nice fall, you stupid bit-“

"......."

"Hey Johnny?"

"I like to think...like...I like to think...that when Jesus came back to life. He shredded the free bird solo while exiting his tomb."

*Takes away the pan* "....You're being cut off."

"Yeah, that's fair man...I can not find my feet."

"…Oh shit...I ain't got no feet."

*Tired sigh*

Bossa Nova

"We fuckin' did it, lads!" Hilda bellows arms out in victory, "We got away from em! And not a scratch on us!" She says all of this despite being thrown out the front window and is currently impaled on a nearby stop sign.

"You know, for a bunch of trained enforcers, I figured they'd be better shots." Bonnie says looking out the window. Her cloak is full of holes and there's not a scratch on the monk.

"Maybe they're trained more for quantity of shots than quality?" Imelda asks poking out of the same window. The bullets managed to hit her but all they seem to do is just bounce right off or worse get stuck in her hair. She hates it when that happens. "Speak for yourself." Jeanne gripes. Her cooling coat being ruined during the attack. Without it her body was now beginning to overheat. Luckily both of her masters have taken the liberty to keep a healthy supply of replacement coats for emergencies, "That had to have been a set up. Like how did they know we were coming?"

"Probably because we chose to take the most conspicuous vehicle known to man on a stealth mission." Jiro says with a hand on his hip, "I knew we shouldn't have drawn straws." "The prudent course of action would have been to enter the compound via the air." Due says descending from the sky with Olive in his arms, "But I suppose the direct approach despite it being unwise would be unexpected."

Olive wiggles out of the soldier's grasp and jumps into Jiro's arm which he quickly accepts. She doesn't get why everyone was being so noisy tonight but she's just happy she gets to stay up late.

"Yeah, the logical part of me was saying ‘go stealth go stealth.’ But come on look at us! We look all kinds of bad!" Akil argues making a tada motion at The Buster Tank, "I also may have rigged the game because I got the tank and I hate losing."

"What?"

"I said it made Kara happy. Look at the glee upon her face." The doctor points at the assassin in the driver seat vibrating happily, "Would you dare to take such happiness away from our dear compatriot~?"

"Oh, what a day. What a lovely day..." Kara chuckles still moving the steering wheel side to side.

"That's not glee! That's bloodlust!" The punk yells.

"I'm gonna be real with you, I honestly can't tell the difference. I feel those emotions are just interchangeable...but then again I normally don't feel emotion so I could be wrong...but I am never wrong so retraction." Akil admits.

The argument is cut short as Otto manages to lift up the ruined tank. a metallic groan coming from the machine as the vehicle's weight is distributed, "Well personally I think we did a really good job. Welp, let's head home." And with a click of his heels he starts to fly off carrying the ruined train back to the firehouse.

"So... I've been thinking?" Otto says breaking the silence, "We're like an established group now, yeah? Like our own little faction? I think we need a catchphrase! Everyone has a catchphrase!"

"Do they though?" Kara says slowly steering the wheel with one finger.

"Well it'll help us stand out more." Otto explains "I was thinking something like Awesome! or Righteous!"

"My gut says Henshin..." Jiro says putting his arm out in a Rider-like pose, "...But we're not that kind of group. We could be though."

"Nuh uh, I don't do spandex. It's tight, it's noisy, and if you're in it for too long you start to sweat." Bonnie interject. "Ah it reminds me of my wrestling days." Imelda muses, "The Culture, The Tradition, The Roaring of the Crowds, The yelling of my Name. It takes me back but the opera calls to me now. Otto, if you'd like you can use my old entrance call?"

"Nah, It's gotta be all original, y'know?" Otto says using his scarf to scratch under his chin in thought.

Kara who has been disassociating the whole trip suddenly reclaims clarity and as if possessed by an unknown force something compels her to say aloud, "Bossa Nova."

"Bossa Nova..." Otto repeats, "I like it! That's gonna be our thing now! Kara say it again."

"I don't even know why I said that. It doesn't even make any sense in context. It just means New Wave. If you want to yell something in Portuguese wouldn't something like Vamola (Let's go) make more sense?" Kara argues.

"But Bossa Nova make perfect sense for us! Since when have any of us made sense...even with context? Bossa Nova's our new catchphrase and I'm not changing my mind...but I am open to discussion on using Vamola because it actually does sound cool." Otto declares...much to Kara's chagrin.
