hi guys. I’m putting this on my ‘archived’ blog because after 8 years on here, the follower count compared to the new one is still fairly larger lol. Hello to all who didn’t know I had moved (i miss you ! feel free to follow my new blog) and hello to all who are still around! I’ve been updating the condition of Iggy on my other blog and while today we finally found answers, the sad truth is we poured two weeks of treatment (and roughly $1,500) into a wrong diagnosis (why did our vet go on vacation WHY). After an ultrasound we have a definitive diagnosis of pleuralpneumonia and he has been admitted to the intensive care of our clinic. His prognosis is fair (at least its not poor) and we don’t know if he’ll be coming home.. but we had to give it our best shot. We couldn’t euthanize for pneumonia. I have wiped out care credit to take care of him and don’t have that as an option. We’re gonna figure something out no matter what, even if it means having to let him go to a peaceful end because we can’t afford to keep throwing stuff at it - but for this stay I need $500 in order to put a significant chunk down on the bill so we can stay with a payment plan. I have $800 on the original bill we are paying this friday and the hospital costs are guessed to be about 2-3 thousand. I need to put at least a thousand down towards the hospital so combined with the $800 I was making this friday - I need to pay $1,800. I have $1,300 after selling a lot of stuff and doing my best to move other bills around this past week (a preemptive move that is apparently helping right now). 

Life sucks for everyone right now and to be honest, having to say goodbye to a pet due to financial constraints (especially a large one) is not a new thing for people.. but he is so full of life. He has been through so much the last year - literally zero to hero.. and if I can keep him from passing away feeling horrible and stuck in a hospital stall unable to leave, I want to give him that chance.

if you feel called to help out or anything - my venmo is taylor-carter-155. (please ignore the dead name). I want to pay you back, we will pay you back .. but I can’t say it will be immediately. Every time we get a bit for ourselves one of our doofuses has a bad day. I can supply invoices for his past treatment (along with the monthly statement from this past friday showing we still owed the $862 that I have arranged to be taken out this coming up friday) along with videos and pictures of him today in the hospital along with the list of meds the doctor provided for us. Unfortunately I don’t have a write up for costs, I only have what she told us today. Honestly, the last 7 months have fucking sucked (as many of you know) and saying goodbye to this sweet boy a mere 13 months after he became a true survivor .. would just be an awful way for 2021 to end.

Thank you for listening and for anything you are able to help with - whether it be financial donations or thoughts and prayers or just a simple message checking in. I am forever grateful for all of you and always amazed by the strength and camaraderie of tumblr. You’ve all been with me through a lot over the years .. I’d be lost without you <3

‘ i prefer to travel alone. ‘ - the Marquis

@writedisaster

It makes sense; the only travel companion one could trust, and all that. Samar tuts and nods to herself, arms folded.

The ouroboros tattoo slithers across her hand, weaving in-between fingers. It’s been restless for days now, as though its forked tongues taste the tang of fated lightning in the air. Something is off in London Below. She hears it in the fluttering of pigeon wings, underscored by an anxious cooing that reminds Samar of hometown matriarchs murmuring such a shame into their shawls during a particularly mournful tale spun on storytelling nights. All the scrying tools have pointed her towards some rapidly approaching union of events, like an ugly Gordian knot of space-time she needs to untangle in order to clear a path to her next destination. And while Samar doesn’t have the full picture yet, she senses the tendrils of that Something coiling around the Marquis’ departure.

“Of course. It’s just that—” What is she supposed to say? I barely know you but please don’t go wherever it is you’re going until whatever’s supposed to happen happens whenever it’s supposed to? Clearly, the Marquis is a man hyper-aware of any danger in the nearest three vicinities besides his own. And she's seen enough of this undercity to understand how most locals operate; any honest attempt to dissuade him will just sound like another grift. Casting herself as a cryptic out-of-towner wandering the alleys of London Below looking to unlock an interdimensional portal won’t exactly help her credibility. So the only thing left to do is resort to the old Artisan custom of pretending to need help in order to give it.

“I’m traveling in your direction, and as an obvious stranger to this place, well…” she trails off with a rueful smile, her eyes momentarily locked on some distant point before they veer back over to his. “If you would consider granting me the small favor of your company at least part-way, I’d be very much obliged.”

#in character. #i'm imagining something earlier in their acquaintance maybe? #could be au or whatever verse #like she's trying to code to her next jump attempt home and her portal is in the eye of some sort of Big Event in the Below #idk! i'm just really glad you found my ask meme & sent something in! <3 #i've missed the marquis #replies.

lads, one of the frustrating things about accidentally following in your muse’s footsteps and enrolling in wizard school (STEM masters program) is you actually have to do the homework when you’d rather be writing the muse, because the homework is what will help you write the muse better

at least this chapter is cryptography, which i find more immediately applicable and might actually absorb, fingers crossed

anyway utter an incantation in my honor, pls & thank

[royalchemy]

i cannot even stress how neutral samar is about demons as a whole? like?? i just feel like her her attitude is that 90% of the time with the horror stories you hear it’s because somebody fucked around and found out. goetic justice.

#don't rblg ty #headcanon ; #like #what business did you have summoning them anyway #half the demons she meets are just stuck in some predatory contract #the others work at law firms #also i'm too tired to get into the semantic distinction of daemons vs demons tonight #but it's a matter of lore and perspective i guess #point being it doesn't really make sense for samar (who isn't christian and doesn't come from a christian realm) #to paint d(a)emons with a broad stroke in a christocentric way? #anyway there are so many articles on magic on jstor goodnight #anyway for additional thoughts on samar + demons i recommend reading/playing thru 'choice of the deathless' available on android & iphone #solid foundation for law firm wizardry & demonology
