Hi guys! So as you may or may not know, my mother has been hit with a very large vet bill she cannot afford to pay for.

My comic is launching next month, but to try and help raise funds towards this bill I've decided to open up preorders for the PDF ahead of time! You can check that out here:

If you're not interested in the comic but still want to help out, we've got a gofundme set up here:

And if you can't purchase or donate, reblogs would be greatly appreciated—either this post or the post where I explain the situation in more detail. Thank you! ❤

#mutual aid #not really sure what else to tag this with !

hiya guys, 1: I'm streaming! My partner will be joining later to hang out too so you can chat with both of us while I work :)

2: If you haven't already seen, I got some bad news last night, so this stream is also doubling as a fundraiser for my mothers' vet bills, you can find information about that here:

Hii guys. I'm just gonna copy what I wrote for the gofundme page:

Last night I received some bad news—my mother's cat, Maple, swallowed a needle and thread and had to have it surgically removed from her stomach. The surgery went well and Maple is fine, but it was not covered by insurance, and the bill has come to £3500. This is a large bill under the best of circumstances, but my mother and I are both disabled. She already works as hard as she possibly can already with two jobs, as well as looking after a 95 old man with a broken hip. I make what money I can through commissions, patreon, and shop sales but it's not enough, so I'm here to ask you guys for help. The funds will be going straight to my mother to pay the outstanding bill. I'm not yet sure of what the deadline to pay it is, I'll update with more information when I know more.

Donating to the gofundme is the most ideal way to help, but as I mention I also have commissions open, and I have a ko-fi store where you can purchase my brushes, csp models, and toyhouse profiles. Some samples of my work if you don't know me:

I'll also be opening pre-orders for the pdf edition of my comic that's releasing next month, and I'll be streaming working on that comic for most of today.

Even if you can't donate, reblogs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this far ❤

#about to start streaming

well i just got some not great news from my mother 😰 she's got a £3500 vet bill she doesn't have the money for so ill try get some fundraising stuff set up and tomorrow's stream will be doubling as a fundraiser.. 😓 i might also set up some sort of pre-orders for the pdf edition, we'll see

also im planning to stream tomorrow 👍 it'll be basically an all day affair bc i have a lot to do but also need to pace myself, so ill likely be starting in the morning and continuing until the evening with regular breaks throughout (gmt+1 timezone for your reference). My partner might join to chat as well!

If you wanna get notified for when I start, -> https://picarto.tv/harrie

#ill give more information tomorrow i have to sleep now... man...

What are you using to make a website for HOTS? 👁️👁️

Comicfury! It's a free comic host with a fully customisable website.

at some point id like to go fully independent (but the CF mirror will remain updated), but I've not settled on a CMS yet. Grawlix looks like a likely option, the folks at spiderforest have been maintaining it since the old devs dropped it. As for hosting, I've been considering zume but who knows!

#i do not currently have the money to afford paid hosting so fully independent site is not a priority. it'll happen eventually haha

#realise i never got around 2 posting the vod for the last stream to yewchewb ill look into that this weekend

hey. im going to be hosting HotS on comicfury, but im getting close to done with Ch1 now which means it's time for me to start thinking seriously about whether or not I want to mirror it. so i have a question for u (setting aside recent controversies as i am not getting a contract with either of them):

the thing is i don't personally Like either of tapas or webtoons (see aforementioned controversies) so im like. ehh. but mirroring is common practice. if enough people prefer somewhere to CF I'll consider mirroring

also so i can reblog my own post: @diosmaden @butchlinkle

still absolutely no idea what the Plot for these twos story would be because ive no intention of doing anything like PMD's time shennanigans LOL they have some other entirely different adventure going on. but i wanted to put them up on toyhouse and realised "wants to become an explorer" translates incredibly easily over to "wants to become a fabler" which is very funny. universe where selene's dream is to be a clown

#coincidentally also aligns their lives up significantly more with [bear noises] via proximity to edel. animal friends :) #thistle #selene #misc

Hi! Your comic link doesn't seem to be working, at least on mobile.

Oh whoops! Yeah there's a typo in the link haha, I wrote .artr instead of .art! Should now be fixed, thank you for letting me know :)
