#straychildren
an illustration of anonymo and tommy from stray children. tommy stands atop of a pile of shells of his own body. he is headless, a string emerging from his hollow neck and connected to the floating magic balloon, who is looking down imposingly at anonymo. anonymo stands on a party balloon, leaning upwards to the magic balloon as if about to whisper something to him. the background features floating balloons and playing cards, a gold decorative frame, and abstract swirling colors. text overlaid on the illustration reads: "this night only! gloomy tommy presents: 100 days in the world of dreams." the composition and warm, faded color palette emulates vintage circus posters.

WELP. Depending on tomorrow, I might have to spend some money on a new phone, but I'm still taking donations to help with my savings for surgery. Either way, I could use the help.

I'll tag folks in reply, but thank you for tagging me, Rey!!
Digital art of a man in purple, blue and pink tones. He looks barley composed in anger or sadness, pulling at someone's shirt from off screen while bubbles escape his nose. Hands in pink tones are pulling at his head, as if to stop this progress. The original theater poster for Carrie but replaced with my dog, Junior. The text reads IF YOU'VE GOT A TASTE FOR BARKING... TAKE JUNIOR TO THE PROM. "JUNIOR" if only they knew she had huge lungs... Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho as a child, eating his already dead self in chosing to live as Shuuichi Minamino for his mother a doggy holds two tenniss balls for you to pick from, one is silver and one is gold...which did you drop?
