I am being evicted
Unfortunately I have received 3 months notice so I am being evicted.
Losing speckLaz
I literally have no clue what I did wrong, but speckLaz has 100% ceased contact and decided to block me on everything and he's now continued to do it with a time delay, so this was not a mistake. He will not tell anyone why, he's just blocking because of something he knows but nobody else knows. Gr…
I survived.
So yeah. That happened. I survived.

@JackRacc@furry.engineer
About to be evicted.
It hurts me to inform everyone that my parents have denied getting involved in a housing search and made it strict that they would never search housing for me for life. My social worker is painting a grim picture of an eviction notice by Dec 1st and eviction by Jan 1st. I have no fallbacks and will…
My landlord has died
It is with a heavy and concerned heart that I report the sudden death of my landlord. I'm extremely unsure how to move forward and whether I have some form of security moving forward.
I may not have a house in 4 months.

Internet crippled from Gigabit to 25mbit
If you already saw my journal on FA, I am happy to report my internet is back but not the one I need. The one I need is Starlink, but instead I get this crappy 25mbps symmetrical fiber line. The state of the world means I need to work from home but only having 25mbps symmetrical just doesn't cut it…
Grandma just died
My grandmother, Yong Yan Yuan, has just passed away.
Managed to make things worse
And I'm genuinely suicidal right now. As a relevant metaphor, if you were thrown into the sea without a liferaft, and everyone else around you was taught how to swim, the only choice is to drown, because you were never taught to swim. With a dysfunctional family, you can't survive in society becaus…
NHK "Today's Close Up" on Abusive Parents
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/4002763/ This is up until the 28th. Watch it while you still can if you wish to know me better, because I live with constant abuse everyday, and this shows those who have also had abusive parents. The people that hit the pillow and the people that u…
Lost a friend, and this is the second time.
In more evidence I haven't changed at all since 3 years ago and my gigantic downfall, I just lost a friend I previously lost, meaning this is the second time I've lost this friend. There isn't hope anymore if 3 years of time still has not healed wounds. Nobody trusts me still, and will continue to…
Managed to get severely depressed at Howl 2019
I made it back to fur conventions after 3 years, only to have pain still overwhelm me. My current closest friend showed up but tried really hard to get me to try to break the generations long cycle of abuse at the con, and ultimately, I just felt worse after the con as a result. I did suit for the…
Excuse me? What did Haida just do?!?

Another year without going to major conventions...
Well, it is with a heavy heart I announce I'm still being abused by my parents, and the pain from that abuse would ruin any social interaction I would try to make so I am simply not going to try new social interactions with familiar or new groups, cause the pain is too much. Nobody wants to listen…
Still black at the end of the tunnel
I thought long and hard, and it looks like when my former friends saw my "temporary" depression get worse, they thought firmly it was weakness of character, cause no one has depression as a chronic condition according to them. That gave them the right to write me off one by one. I'm still not getti…
Who even reads these anymore?
It's official. 2017 and 2018, I have not been social at all with any fandom. I just missed out on Howloween because I was forcibly taken to the hospital by my social worker the Thursday the week of, and the psych there strictly told me to not do anything until I meet with my regular psychiatrist. M…
From support, to being a jerk
Someone who had replied in my previous journals (in fact, the only person remaining) with encouragement did a complete 180 and just replied "suck it up" in the last day. (and that was the polite interpretation. It was way worse in reality.) He abandoned all concept of being polite, he went on the o…
Mistrust
Mistrust is still something that haunts me from my past, and I still think nobody trusts me, because my behavior after all these years is still "not fixed." It really is hopeless to expect kind social interaction, cause you never know if someone is going to backstab you cause you don't "act normal"…
Giving Up.
That’s it. I’m giving up. I don’t have the hardware in time to stay relevant to this community with the info I have, I don’t have any good people left to press on, My life is a wreck, and I can’t continue to provide useful information. It was a good run, but I don’t see my situation getting any bet…
Scoldings amplify pain, not make people stronger.
It's started again. The whole "You're just lazy" arguments that just restart all the pain back into full gear. Those facilitating the logistics to get me to and from the psychologists that are supposed to help me with therapy now just think I'm lazy, and won't carry through with treatment because I…
FML...
"After some talk, we decided to ban you again cause you can't fix yourself." -iateyourpie's chat admins. Fuck my life. Seriously. I just want to die. I don't see any point anymore. The housing crisis means I can't be moved out, lack of funds means I can't see a psychologist as often as I need to be…
This artist has done a lot of art for Twitch streamers
melangetic She's done art for MOMAM, iateyourpie, FlareRDB and spikevegeta. Go follow her!
ThaRixer Drama...
Are you kidding me? Retaliation from ThaRixer's community? Toxicity escalation is when they want to pick a fight using the us vs them argument. "You're so fucking wrong. Our community is accepting and it's you who were the annoying insect. Fuck you." is what I just got. You didn't have to re-engage…
Stream completed, but I lost another idol to my illness.
I managed to stream a total of 38 hours out of the 48 I set to have total over the weekend, but at the end of the weekend, one of my idols, ThaRixer, a Ratchet and Clank Speedrunner that tries his best to work through his own trouble and to provide kind words, banned me from his Discord and stream…
I am a sadist.
Get your sad depressed friends ready. I will be streaming Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy for 48 consecutive hours straight from sometime on March 9th to however as long as needed. If I surpass 48 hours, it's only but a small achievement, cause I'm not gonna stop.
Missing another year of fandom.
"We don't want your negativity, go away." This is the default response someone gives when they want to forget their own life's worries by focusing on having a good time at a convention, but some person who may legitimately be struggling is seeking help in their face. That's general hive mentality o…
I'm not normal
I'm useless. They say "do what you love" but what good is that when your lack of social skills and inability to contain emotional outbursts always ends up in trust erased, and no one sympathizes with insanity. If I was "normal" according to the world, I can do what I love without problems. But I'm…
Nobody cares, I'm a burden.
I've lost equipment to help me make my videos. A friend wanted to borrow some of my equipment for a music video, but he decided to hold it hostage for himself simply because I didn't show up to his music video shoot... BECAUSE I WAS MANHANDLED BY THE COPS FOR DEMANDING RIGHTS WHEN I HAD NONE. I can…
Life isn't worth it anymore.
19 friends lost. Everyone hates me.
No one left to support me.
It's all my fault. I wronged everyone. Mental Illness is a myth that I just need the crap beaten out of me to become "normal" I have no support network left. Everyone hates my guts. I'm on the verge of actually ending it all, and I have serious plans this time... Razor blade? Poison? Jumping from m…
Still losing friends
Their response to what I can't help myself to be right now? We won't tolerate this so we're ignoring you. I literally only have 1 fur friend left. Prospects for the next year aren't even rosy. Still no cons for all of 2018 cause I need to save up for a Panasonic GH5 to stay current. I don't even ha…
Losing so much in the last year.
I've lost 10+ friends over the past year. They all want me to seek professional help but that's being suppressed behind bureaucracy and waitlists. WorkBC told me straight up due to my severe depression and unchecked mental state, they say I am not fit to be employed at the moment. Meanwhile, I stil…
Officially moved on to Rick and Morty for now
Well, this weekend is the first con I was fired from... and it's all my fault. Circumstances don't matter cause actions speak louder than circumstances. It's also the last one ever of said convention. I stuck to it since the beginning, but I cannot witness the end. I've moved on to the Rick and Mor…
Definite cancellation of 2017 conventions
I've been announcing recently that I cancelled my ability to make it to any conventions in 2017. Now it's 100% concrete and cemented. I will never be able to make any convention in 2017 and potentially early 2018. I was riding on a tiny sliver of hope when I shouldn't have and let my hopes up too m…
Locking myself away from the world
I've decided to choose to become a Hikikomori. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori Not welcomed wherever I go for being who I am, I have to avoid human contact with nearly everyone. Originally welcomed for what I was before my depression, now that it's going to take way too long to get the hel…
Two, count them, two hospital admissions on VF 2017 weekend.
In what could have been the worst nightmare imaginable, I was admitted TWICE this weekend to hospital and only just got discharged the second time on Sunday. I am in excruciating mental pain. Now VancouFur 2017 is over and I now have to deal with the pain of others' photos and experiences of fun eq…
So, how are you holding up?
...Because I spent a whole night in hospital instead of being at VancouFur... I started off the morning by losing a friend who's a newbie fur with Asperger's. I missed a delivery of a critical hard drive component which meant it got delayed to Monday again. And destructive thoughts of others' privl…
Missing the con that would have brought happiness...
Right now marks the beginning of the con I can't go to. HomeCon for me isn't all fun neither. It's abuse from my Dad, complete loneliness, and knowing that I've failed in my path in life. You know what testimony of a good con would be to me after it's over? Pain. I'm way too old to be where I am in…
3 years of blood, sweat and tears...
...all to build up trust. Gone. Just like that. No forgiveness, no empathy, no need to care about me. Even when I want to be loved, I can't get it. There's a definite reason she's not into you, and there's nothing that can change that. I need a hug.
Suit update, and someone bailed on fixes again
In what are very bleak times, (and with double confirmation Crazy Joe can't help me at all) errolthedragon stepped up to help and my suit is now cosmetically complete in the front. The rear area I've noticed has issues with the closure not fully being closed up, exposing some of my skin when I put…
Official cancellation of all 2017 conventions
It is with great regret that factors out of my control have now forced me to not go to any convention in 2017. The falling out has become a pit of gossip and my relations have been damaged beyond repair for this year. I'm so sorry I've let everyone down because of this, and I really wish things cou…
All conventions for 2017 for me have been cancelled.
After a falling out with the local convention scene, I'm cancelling all my convention plans for 2017. I sincerely apologize to my convention going friends that I often meet at conventions I frequent, but it has come to this unfortunate point due to a variety of factors coming together to work again…
My BronyCAN 2016 in a (frustrating) nutshell
To say things this time around at BronyCAN came together as a miracle would be an understatement. Let's see... So I expected the Alberta REPLACEMENT AV crew to arrive at 5PM Thursday but they arrived at Noon instead. (Our main AV guy had a mental meltdown due to demands placed on him) Meaning I mis…
Latest journal on FA
My latest journal is on my FA. It contains personal content not all here would like to see in their feeds. But, if you truly cared, it's there for your reading. Same username as on here.
What sites do people main? (OTHER than FA)
I'm genuinely curious about which site is their main other than FA for now. I use this site but I only generally see activity when FA is actually down. Furry Network got a big initial following but I'm afraid to join that in case it also drops off rapidly in terms of activity. What sites do you mai…
Not at Fur-Eh.
So because all my emergency contingency funds got used up by VF with unexpected hotel costs, and unexpected costs with my main PC going south and unexpected consequences from my grandpa's death, my bank accounts are at $0. This means I'm currently not at Fur-Eh. I wanted to go so that I could have…
Life update (and suit upgrade plan update)
Wow. Things have not been kind to me. My wireless router radio crapped out forcing me to get another one, my main OS for my main machine took a dump 3 weeks ago and only now are things getting somewhat back to normal after RAM purchases. And not being able to recover my costs from VF is hitting har…
Suit update. Cosmetically complete.
Finally. The suit has no more cosmetic issues. Now begins the non-cosmetic problems under the hood... I did not know a skin-tight suit head has almost no room for fans to be installed. I'm now pondering how to exhaust heat when there currently is no room and cutting into the suit foam may weaken th…
Can anything just go right?
In more good news and bad news: Good news: The teeth pieces that broke in two have been re-joined with super glue. Bad news: Trying to wipe off the excess with tissue paper resulted in residue. Initially removing some of this residue, some more of the paint on the teeth solid cast chipped off. It h…
Fursuit update (Both good and grim)
Yay! The suit has reached milestone V1.2! The fur is finally the way it's supposed to look. Up next is V1.5 where I have fan intakes where Crazy Joe put in ventilation at the ears. However, I'm finding out my head is a skin tight variety so there's almost no room. This project is on indefinite hiat…
Obligatory Zootopia Journal
WAY better moral then Wreck-it-Ralph. There are some moments where you can clearly predict what's going to happen, but as an overall experience it came out during a time where it's so relevant to what's going on in the world, and likely would still be relevant years down the line. The protagonist h…
Suit updates, post V1.0
I'm glad to announce that my suit is now Version 1.1. Thank you so much to Crazy Joe for finishing it up! He added vents in my ears for better heat dispersal, fixed the eye area, fixed the velcro in the back and in the process fixed up some stitching. Now, one cosmetic portion that worked for the c…
No Room at VF. Please help?
Well, 3 different opportunities at a room spot at VF fell through on me. I need a room spot for VF. I have a fursuit to keep in the room and I can't stay in the same room as a kid. It's getting really close to the con and I'm video staff, so I'm needed at the hotel but have been unable to find a ro…
Going silent till March 1st
For fear of jinxing anything, I'll be out of public contact regarding the fandom till March 1st. Those closer friends to me, you can always reach me on Telegram. Edit: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Room spot got jinxed... a second time. Edit #2: Third time it's fallen through... Unbelievable.
Suit is with someone for fixing
Last weekend, I finally sent my suit head to someone to finally do steps to fix it up before VancouFur... She's the last person willing to finish everything up after the worst case scenario of my mom bailing on the job happened. Progress is still mostly unknown past preparation steps have been done…
More bad news
If you haven't heard the bad news, it's time to say it now on this site: All conventions for 2016 are now in a state of uncertainty and limbo. It's not just the suit this time, it's all conventions. My room spot for VF is now catch-22ed out of existence. The forced demand of the catch 22 basically…
Low Dollar means No US cons this year.
More of a general journal than a personal one, but with the absolutely abysmal Canadian Dollar, looks like I'm scrapping all my plans for US conventions this year. I will try for Fur-Eh if I can get road trip buddies and I convert my 200 American to Canadian at just the right time. (If I still have…
New Year, still half-fixed suit
Yup, New Year has come, suit is still half-fixed. Re-applying the patch yielded less material to work with somehow, despite the surface area of the backing being more than the person that got high's patch. Top stitch is in, bottom stitches to close up the patch are not in. Only way to fix less mate…
Hopeless
Just hopeless. I've asked every single local fursuit making professional locally about repairing my broken suit and they've ALL said no. My warranty is void, and I sure as hell am not sending this out of province or to the US. Utterly hopeless. I have absolutely no hope left. Edit: My mom, who was…
NOT JINXING IT
Got some welcome news, but I'm not jinxing it. Let's just say a week of frustrations finally ended with a piece of great news. Edit: It got Jinxed. Damn it.
Full View broke on FA
Why do I still talk about FA... Yes, full view broke on the classic UI on FA. There was the feature just added to make a featured journal, but broken full view images are kind of ridiculous when the website should be scaling images in multiple resolutions and keeping the original resolution FOR YOU…
Nothing turned out.
Well, who knew the person modding my suit would get high before coming to a best friend's house and promptly attempt to vandalize it? It's truly hopeless. And I just learned my Abusive Dad is returning on Monday adding more to my hopelessness. I had to cocoon myself for 2 days following all the dra…
Suit update, for real this time.
Well, things are now slowing to a crawl. Suit modder is now meeting 1-2 times a week to finish the job. We found out on our recent meeting the pattern for the major patch has to be re-cut. That will be done next Tuesday. I deeply apologize for the abrupt journal earlier. Sarcasm and trusting of und…
Howl 2015 Retrospective
OOPS. I slept through both the most active fursuiting period and all the room parties... It's kind of my own consequence trying to get fixes to my head done last minute, which still need to be done with 2 more full days of work. 2 full days might take another 2 more weeks, so it's going to be prett…

Where are you staying? At the Executive for a night. Time of arrival 9:30AM How are you traveling? Got a carpool ride Roommates? rainrat and 2 others What do you look like?

There's a hole in the suit.
Well, after failing to show up Sunday, my suit with a week to go to Howloween has a hole in it where the major fix is supposed to be done... 2 FULL days are required to finish this, Tuesday and Thursday. My hopes are low but I have to ride on them that tomorrow works out. Those are literally the on…
Minor update on suit tweaks
Just a minor update. The head is with kohl and we found out a seam being crooked on the fur extending from the bottom head port fooled me into thinking an initial modification Zack made was also crooked, but it was in fact attached correctly. This ate up a bit of time today. What also ate up time t…
One last tweak still pending. IDK who to help me.
Okay, it looks like most of the tweaks will be done... except for one... It's the 1cm off of the grey mask that is proving to be the problem. The current person I commissioned does not have the skill to do this fix. And it doesn't help the instructions are more complex than I originally set it out…
Still affected by really bad PCD
I'm sorry if I haven't been social or doing anything after this con, but my really painful PCD has been affecting me all week. I try to sleep away the days hoping for better tomorrows. My own faults pain me to no end to the point where I was in bed in tears last night. No forgiveness, no apologies,…
RF PCD hitting hard
The rest of my RF pictures are on hiatus until my PCD snaps out of it. I got some really bad PCD just now from once again me managing to inadvertently piss off someone and create another burned bridge. And I confirmed this is a terminated friendship. Not only is it a block on Twitter, but Weasyl as…
RF 2015 in Hindsight
Wow. That was down to the wire, but it all mostly worked out! I finally got Artie to take pictures with my new sock based paws and they were fantastic the last I saw them. I could kiss YOUR paws, my man. They turned out beautifully. Matrices did a last minute patch to my 3D eye's masking ring that…
V0.99 of Jack Raccoon SHIPPED!
V0.99 of the suit has shipped! Why 0.99? There's one last mod I have to do to the eyes to add a black felt ring to the 3D eyes to lessen the effect of the eye whites being too prevalent. I need to know who at RF can do this. ZackFox was supposed to do it when it arrives tomorrow, but he thought we…
Suit Maker is MIA, in the 11th hour.
Okay, the suit maker has gone MIA for 2 days when it's the 11th hour. YOU DON'T DO THIS. Also found out Silver Star has no direct contact in case her internet went down for this time. She's not responding to emails, she's not updating Trello, She literally went MIA when the fastest express shipping…
Slow Express Shipping deadline passed
Okay, the slow express shipping tier deadline has passed so she's taking an extra day, which means it has to be shipped with the fastest express shipping option. I'm so on pins and needles cause no updates have been made to the Trello since minutes past midnight Sunday. Silver Star has agreed to sh…
All economy shipping deadlines have passed
I've lost all hope of economy shipping working out for my suit. My last hope is Silver Star. He lives in the same city and could cover for express shipping where Kai can't cover for express shipping. He is literally my last hope. Last I heard the feetpaws were very close to completion, with assembl…
Past due, losing hope
The deadline for the absolute slowest shipping option via something like Canada Post has passed. I sent my time of departure for RF to her and she agreed Friday morning was the deadline via FedEx. The Trello now says "past due" and the feet are not complete yet. 48 hours will be super tight to get…
Under 24 hours to go
With no way of making final reminders to her cause I can't, I'm now down to 24 hours before the deadline for the slowest shipping option passes and my head still has had no work done on it, only preparations and not actual finished work. If luck is going to be generous, the feetpaws will be done in…
1 thing fixed, but everything else is still broken
I'm spent in terms of energy, motivation and drive. I managed to fix the professional recorder's power cable, only to be careless to wreck the ribbon cable for the tape head on my Walkman. I can no longer contact my fursuit maker and am still at the mercy of her taking as long as she wants. Her sel…
At fate's mercy
So my nerves got to me and regarding the recent history of my suit maker missing deadlines, you can probably tell I needed re-assurance. Well, I'm getting none and I managed to piss off an artist like I always do. I now have to truly wait for fate to have my suit to be completed. I have no more gua…
Progressless, and more stuff broke
In brief good news, through some aches and pains in getting it here, I still got a high capacity battery for my camera. However, just as that arrived, the battery power cable for my professional recorder, which recorded the big promo for BronyCAN, broke and started shorting out my brand new battery…
Riding on hope
So I had no idea Kai had moved out of province during the convention I was at, and there were people there that lived in the city she moved to and that I had no idea till after the con she made the move during the con. On Wednesday, I had to make a really tough decision being I had to mail my $600…
Soon.
BronyCAN is upon us, and so is my suit. My suit minus the paws if things work out will be done tonight, and will be at the hotel for an impromptu video staff pre-con party at BronyCAN tomorrow night. (Actually, a setup night, but it can also be a party.) Photos when I get it all in. I'll wait till…
Civets mistaken as Raccoons
Seriously, I want to know, how often does that mistake of thinking a civet is a raccoon happen with your fursonas?
Worst shoot day of my life
Well, first we found out our coordinator's boyfriend was sick and couldn't drive her down in time. Great. 2nd, my burned bridge from this fandom showed up. Even more great... 3rd, Copyrighted Music was playing in the distance for a portion of our shoot. Get ready to be Content IDed. 4th, Rain start…
Love the thumbnails, just one tiny thing...

RF room confirmed
Okay, so my RF room was just confirmed tonight so right now the only thing I have to worry about is funds. Thanks Toboe! Current plan is to set aside $1000CAD to turn into $800USD to go down. Not revealing how cause I'm just very careful not to jinx myself just like last year. Also, good news on th…
I APPROVE.
https://vine.co/v/eOFjieKgr6P I had no idea we could even be pets! Edit: Strike that, we still can't be pets. This must be a rehab family.
No more Rainfurrest for this year
My hopes for saving enough for Rainfurrest have all been completely dashed when I learned I have to endure my abusive Dad for 2 months alone together. If you don't know what that's like, this tweet explains all: https://twitter.com/Jack_Y_Zhang/status/595945005111377920 I was supposed to help out R…
Northwest Fan Fest
I'll be suiting TOMORROW ONLY at Northwest Fan Fest in New Westminster, BC as rainrat's Bandit. This will also be the first ever test of a GoPro fursuit head mount. Now, unfortunately due to recent declines in mood, I've gained weight and thus fullsuits are tighter than before and heat becomes a bi…
Further suit delays
Well, nothing's working out well on the suit front still. This Monday I expected one suit to be 100% completed, but apparently there are STILL head edits to complete. And now, I had a expectation that some work would be completed this week if the person only one spot ahead of me in line hasn't retu…
Is this something Dragoneer would say?
"I understand that change can be hard, but that is the better approach, the way many of the original FA folks (all still at IMVU) have been seeking. We had to end the old before anything new can happen; you will just have have to wait and see if our vision is successful." -A modified David Newman (…
Camera repairs and more budget woes
An unexpected symptom happened when I was filming the first episode of the BronyCAN behind the scenes series: My pro Sony camera's LCD shut off, then came back on if it was even slightly shifted. This persisted for a week, even during the first few days of VancouFur, and then I finally decided to t…
We are not vermin!

No silver lining
Well, things haven't improved a bit. By further pissing off a friend, I've hit a brand new low in terms of self-esteem and confidence. I have almost none now. Even my distractions aren't working out as a potential project to solve a cross-compatibility issue with broadcast equipment is considered t…
Giving up hope
I conceded to delays for 1 month and now the time I've set to not communicate with my suit maker is up, and STILL work cannot resume. This is another punch to the gut after conceding to delays. The worst part is who knows when other people are going to decide to return items for tweaking to make ev…
Commenting Legend
I'm going to give you all my commenting legend in case you're confused arriving at my page from one of my comments: "(as George)" means I'm roleplaying as my Micro Red Fox/Macro Fennec Fox character George Fox. You tend to find this a lot on macro/micro submissions since I have not changed my avata…
Migrating my Gallery
Yup, I'm one of those people that don't trust that FA will remain the same after this acquisition. I'll migrate all that I can for now. My George Fox content will be updated on Inkbunny.
I concede to delays...
No one in my fursuit maker's queue had their suit complete for VF. Knowing this fact. I have conceded and am holding back progress on my suit for 1 month. The tail is 100% done now and I have it as my personal fluff pillow. I'll need it to fight a month of depression knowing there's nothing I can d…
I've got Hurt Feelings...
No VF meme. My suit is now impossible to complete by VF. I will still be at con, but I'll be dedicating myself to video work. Character social medias are now delayed indefinitely. To think, I took a year to do all the steps to prepare for the big debut, even going $500 into debt to make it happen,…
Another mini suit update
The basic shapes for the head are now basically done. By Sunday fur should be ready to plop onto the head. Vision is a tiny bit of a concern since it won't work well for small text on screens. The spacing in the material needs to be less tightly woven to improve vision. Tail work will be completed…
Tiny Suit update
The paws will not be done in time for VF. Was hoping to please some paw fans (well, truthfully only one) before VF but that won't be done in time. I'm using silicone pawpads like Rogue's most recent footpaws, but combining those with the flexibility of a sockpaw will take some give and take. The he…
Official Suit Updates
Official suit updates will now be coming from KaiWolf's journals. She's promising a major update every Saturday. In the meantime, she has a single journal she will be updating regularly: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/81081/commission-queue-an-updating-journal-entry Otherwise, check her userpage fo…
Suit update?
It's stalled. The tail is still only 30% done with the new pattern. No work has started on the head, and I could take the sleeves now, but I'd rather take it all as a package. I've paid for the remaining fur after the suit has completed construction. A new development means people that have paid fo…
Suit update for end of November
With the material trimmed, the sleeves are no doubt 100% done. No remaining tweaks since I had the chance to fit it on and it worked wonderfully. The new tail foam core is done, with the pattern revision to be done next. That is currently underway, so unfortunately the tail is not done by my previo…
Yet another suit update.
The sleeves I said weren't going to be tweaked, but they were tweaked, and hopefully for the absolute final time. The right arm now fits properly and the left arm after material is removed should fit as well. The head clay sculpt is now complete, giving a rough idea of what the shape is for the hea…
Another suit update
The replacement wig wasn't rare in stock, and arrived on time for pickup very soon. That problem has now hopefully been solved. The tail remains untouched from BronyCAN with the exception that the glitter is now gone. The next step is to revise the foam shape and do the tweaks for patterning. The s…
More Suit Updates
Unfortunately, the wig for my hair turned out to be a smidge too brown and thus won't look right under direct light. This could push back everything past West Coast Geeks vs Nerds for my suit completion. The good news is my sleeves are now nearly done, and the revised tail should be done soon. Sock…
West Coast Geeks vs Nerds + Suit/Cons Update
In case you didn't know, West Coast Geeks vs Nerds is holding a really big show for us furs: Rocket Raccoon vs Fox McCloud! That's happening November 18th at 7PM at the Vancouver Fanclub. This happens to be the new deadline for my suit to be completed. I've gotten word my head won't be complete by…
BronyCAN is in the bag. Tail and Sleeves acquired!
This will not be identical to the journal I posted on FA. I'm going to talk about my wonderful tail and sleeves I finally got at BronyCAN. The tail is big. There do need to be a few pattern revisions and shape revisions, but I walk around great with it. Admittedly I was the "glitter raccoon" becaus…
It's PAID!
The partial suit from Kai-Wolf is now fully paid! I'm expecting the tail and sleeves by August 22nd (BronyCAN) and the head by Halloween (October 31st) or Howloween (Early November) Hope I will have the complete set in time for one of the two I just mentioned.
Suit Status Update
I've now gotten an estimate from kai. Kai will have my fur sleeves and tail for sure done by BronyCAN. I gave an optional goal to complete the head by BronyCAN, but that isn't a requirement. Almost fully paid it off too, 2 more months to go in regards to that.
Well, going to VancouFur after all.
Originally I was supposed to leave next Monday for China, but we decided on a later date leaving on the Thursday AFTER VancouFur. Guess I can go to VancouFur after all. Mostly going to hang around silvershocknicktail and tesla500 if they're there. Will for certain go to the MLP meetup. Just to upda…
In good news...
(...Really good news...) I've now paid my deposit for my partial suit to be created by Kai. I expect construction to start as soon as I come back from China and for it to be under construction for a couple of months. Fortunately, my character does not need paws or footpaws, just fur sleeves for my…
Won't be able to attend VancouFur
...because it falls right in the middle of me going back to China for 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks, I will be completely disconnected from the internet, so nothing will be updated for that length of time. My worry is what friendships will still remain when I return.
OMG, a Sly Cooper Movie by Rainmaker... :O
https://twitter.com/SlyCooperMovie/status/428074819297357825 It ain't a TV series, it's going directly to a movie. And with the guys that did Reboot behind it, it's going to be good. (so long as the writing can keep up. And it better.) EDIT: It gets better. Sly's new VA is the voice of Goku. (and a…
Dust: An Elysian Tail
So, holiday sale went on Steam 2 weeks ago and I got Dust: An Elysian Tail. I expected cute anthros for sure, but didn't expect what happened as the game progressed. If you've played the game, the moment in Mudpot, the moment with the snow and the ending were all tearjerkers. It got so feelsy that…
