Those of you who have been following me for a while know I’ve been struggling in the apartment where I live. Unfortunately, things have gotten worse. Today, my landlady came to my door and reminded me that rent is due tomorrow. She said she’ll kick me out if I don’t pay. I know these are empty threats we have a contract but her aggressive attitude and constant pressure are seriously affecting my health and throwing me into a state of panic.

So I’m setting a new goal on Ko-fi, and I really hope this will be the last time I need to ask for help. This time, it’s to move out. I know moving is expensive and I’ll need to pay an upfront amount, but my health won’t let me spend another month here suffering harassment.

As many of you know, my commissions are only $30. If you enjoy my work and would like to help either by donating or sharing I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who supports me, comments, and likes my art. I’m leaving all the links here again. Thank you, and I’m really sorry for having to post this.

There's people, who get 500 messages with well-wishes, worrying about how they're doing when they haven't been posting for a week. And then there's me.

It's as if I don't even exist, I could describe in detail how I would die and nobody would even notice I was there in the first place. (I'm still gaining new followers though, as paradoxical as that seems.)

I really love Tumblr's content, especially the nature, poetry and trad-life content, it's so pretty and helped me through some major hard times, that's the only reason I couldn't bring myself to delete this account yet. I wish I could share it with someone who uses eyes and uses words. But so far, the Lord is humbling me and I have my plants to talk to. 🌱🌿🍃

This is extremely specific and so true, I'm happy that other people are like this too! 😊💚

I'm 34 years old and I have various colouring books, I love colouring. I have been doing this for some years now, I still think it's one of the best things to do with your time at the moment. 🙂😊🎨

If they really have to choose someone to play Severus Snape in a redo of the "Harry Potter"-series then I want it to be Benedict Cumberbatch. I just came to that conclusion firmly. I don't think this series is a good idea to begin with, not in our current times. But I genuinely don't care for Adam Driver even though many have suggested he would be good. I don't think so even though he certainly brings along the right themes for the character already but I can't see him as Snape at all, not witty enough, not determined enough, not smooth enough, not wonderful-asshole enough. 😄🙂

I don't want the "Harry Potter" series to be remade for at least two more decades and the current choice of actor for Snape is not even worth having a discussion over, it's idiotic and lacks the basics of being taken seriously at all.

But if I really had to pick an actor that I would want to portray him, who is currently around and active, I would choose Benedict Cumberbatch determinedly. Snape has been my favourite character ever since 2002, when I read "Harry Potter" for the first time so I've had the delight of studying him carefully for over 20 years now. I do know what I'm talking about even if some of you may not share my choice in this case.

It needs to be said that AO3 (archive of our own) is not a place we should continue to frequent if we want to keep our emotional and mental wellbeing intact. I say this because I am someone who normally reads stories there. I have noticed that the stuff that gets posted there is more and more extreme and I would say that young people under the age of 18 years old are also frequenting that place.

I have reported a story that features s*xual content with characters under the age of 16 and under the age of 12 I believe and I got the response that that's totally fine on AO3 and won't get looked into or taken down. It's a story about the "Tangled" movie/ series. I just thought I'd share this because it has considerably changed how I view this page in general as this has crossed every line I have. Please protect yourselves consciously and don't ignore what is not okay.
