Adar for #inktober arctic and #tolkientober transformation. My drawings don‘t always turn out the way I want them to, but this one did 🤗

thank you, I hope so too! It's probably just a cold, but she's just so miserable and it hurts to see her so droopy and scrungly-furred 💔
Many dollars and one slightly offended cat later:
Esme doesn't have pneumonia! But she did need subcutaneous fluids, an appetite stimulant, & a series of antibiotics/antivirals for the next few weeks.
She also received many compliments (all warranted) for how beautiful and good she was
My little girl cat is extremely sick with something (fever, sneezy nose, lethargy) and we're headed to the vet right now. She's only lived with me less than a year but she means everything to me and I am so stressed right now. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated

congrats, this looks like such an excellent set!

It is rational to fear what covid does to the body.

And this ableist machismo, separating "fear" and rational thinking, isn't helpful here. They aren't dichotomous.

It is rational to mask in order to avoid covid, long covid, spreading covid, and causing others to have long covid.
(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)
good reminder! :) it's -1° here, I should throw a hoodie on Dan & go open the window for a bit before bed!

I’m Amalas and I’m open for cover work.
I love to draw urban scenes and human connections found between concrete and steel, sprinkled with some nostalgia

Y'all need to see this Bilbo and Gandalf from the Portuguese version of The Hobbit. Illustrated by António Quadros
I can’t take any credit for the composition here, this is of course another excellent tutorial from Ruth Wilshaw that I did my best to follow.
When looking through her library, I immediately thought of Eryn Lasgalen from LotRO when I saw this one, and had to try and get it done for Tolkientober
#tolkientober #tolkienTrewsday Day 14: Colours


After the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of Dol Guldur, the wood elves celebrate as colours begin to return to the once dark forest of Mirkwood, now renamed Eryn Lasgalen (Wood of Green Leaves)

Fire department was doing testing in our building. Immediately after hearing “testing, testing” through the speaker I looked over and saw Stitch standing on the end table and making this face. He did not move AT ALL for at least a minute
wow this is so wrong, I'm sorry!
oh wait, they're shipping with other carriers, off to shop!
wow, this looks great, I'll definitely try them once the postal strike is resolved!
Got our covid vaccines today!

And despite all that's going on with Alberta politics rn, the nurse at AHS made sure to ask enough questions so both my husband and I qualified for the high risk category (which meant we didn't need to pay)

She genuinely wanted as many people vaxxed as possible
