Hey all! Apologies for going dark over here. Life kinda beat my ass for a bit but I am getting back on track finally!!
TLDR; my eight year old ferret passed away and I thought it was my fault. The grief & guilt ate me alive until we confirmed it was lymphoma. I’m still very sad because my Sweet Bean was my buddy for eight years, but I’m feeling better and I’m finally back at making art. I will be following up with folks this week!!
It truly feels like the end of an era, I had ferrets from 2013 to now. Bean was a vvvv good girl with the fuzziest pantaloons, who hated my partner’s guts and socked feet. I’ll miss her. ❤️‍🩹

Here’s what happened: A couple weeks ago I got a nasty case of bronchitis which was rough and sucked. I also had an eight year old ferret named Bean who was the last of a trio my partner and I had. My eldest I got before I met my partner in 2012 and he passed away in 2024 he was with me from college to home ownership and lived in half a dozen states. He was deaf and loved chomping erasers. My middle was an adrenal boy and only made it to three which was heart breaking because he was truly one of the sweetest, most special creatures I’ve ever met. Then there was Bean our only girl and an absolute spitfire.
If you don’t know ferrets can get influenza (and covid) from people. Since Bean was housed in my office I always wore gloves and a mask when feeding/watering and a mask while working if I was sick with respiratory symptoms. Even if it’s not something I should be able to pass her in theory.
A couple days after recovering Bean started sounding a little wheezy. In the past she could get that way when we transitioned into Spring but having just been sick I was still cautious and got a vet appt scheduled for three days later. By the next morning she was much raspier, I called my office and our exotic vet wasn’t in to get her in sooner.
At this point I’m convinced I got her sick. Our appointment is still two days out and I’m stressed. She then begins to rapidly deteriorate. By late afternoon I called an exotics EV the next town over and we got our ass there. Ultimately with her condition and age the vet advised euthanasia because she suspected what we were dealing with was cancer, something common in ferrets her age. I didn’t realize until we were in the car that her lymph nodes under her neck were quite swollen. However I was still convinced I had killed my ferret by not being cautious enough and opted for a necropsy before cremation.
It took like two weeks of me irrationally dwelling on murdering my beloved pet before we got results back which confirmed that it was actually lymphoma. Like cats ferrets will hide that they’re not feeling good and despite being healthy at her last yearly about seven months ago she had been slowing down. I had assumed it was just age but it was seemingly a combo of age and cancer.
Anyways fuck cancer, but I’m so relieved I didn’t accidentally murder my beloved tubular pet 🥲

Now that I'm fully back from work, I can share that I participated in the inaugural Valentines day BG3 exchange run by the ever lovely @commander-krios
Be sure to check out all the incredible work on AO3: Here.
I was gifted a piece from the insanely talented @eluvisen that made me actually shriek, of Aska and her Wizard.
Go admire it: here!!
I did a piece for @aevallare that is far too spicy for Tumblr's delicate sensibilities of her Tav, Auri and Astarion based on a very very good spicy and sweet scene from her BG3 long fic 🖤
You can see the full piece here!! (CW oral sex)

First round of smooch sketch commissions done for @starlightchaser Featuring their Rook & Elgar'nan and their Inquisitor & Dorian 🖤💖🖤
These are so very fun cause they're quick (for me at least, ha), loose and I get to push paint around and I very much enjoy that process.
