Hi hello! General update on me and why I've been like vacant until recently

TW: medical/surgery/infection mentioned

It's been a long series of freakin' "why me"

So for the past month as of this following Monday, I've dealt with a stubborn infection on my right big toe. One itty bitty spot along the cuticle, all puffy and angry. Very tender. I have no idea what caused it, as I discovered it shortly after taking a shower.

After a week, I managed to get the inflammation down, but boy it was clearly infected. I tried my best to disinfect it with what little I had, but I may have unintentionally chemically burned my skin

My skin is quite sensitive to chemicals, but I thought that rubbing alcohol wouldn't bother it much. Either way, the infection was in a precarious spot and proved difficult to just get the goods into with the nail in the way.

A very not so great condition nail by the way. Probably what ultimately led to its infection.

This past Monday, I had to get the toenail surgically removed. Luckily for me, it was pretty much ready to go and just needed a little help. That thing was preventing my infection from fully healing. I'm glad it's gone, since it was damaged like 6 years ago and didn't grow back right. This was inevitable. I've been liberated

One funny thing is that the doctor was kinda excited to pluck it off omg. I was the second one that day she had to do this for, and she seemed STOKED. My case wasn't the worse she had seen either. That was a relief LOL

Doctors and their quirks, gotta love 'em

She was very sweet and genuine with me, so good times! 10/10 would love her care again. I was in great hands!

But the pain didn't stop there

Oh no

Then. The gauze got stuck. For 3. Whole. Days. It was an antibiotic gauze, but it didn't need to be there that long. I just got it off last night with incredible, indescribable amounts of pain and suffering with hot water, soap, and the will of GOD

However. The nightmare doesn't end there

Here's the thing. I live in the USA.

I'm unemployed.

And don't have insurance.

Now I have the doom of my impending, brand new ✨ medical debt✨. I don't even know how much it's doing to be. I fear it'll be absurd. I had numbing shots, a douse of saline water, and a little elbow grease. That was my treatment. Hoping and praying that Medicaid accepts my recent application so I don't have to pay anything. Thank god antibiotics and ibuprofen are cheap, and my pharmacy gives discounts to those without insurance. There is kindness in the eaves of this dumpster fire of a country

It cost $221 USD just to be seen. Right up and front.

So if all things go to against my favor, I'll have to open emergency commissions and/or donations because dear god it costs an arm and a leg to just exist here. I'll be sure to provide a follow up post on when I hear back from folks. Right now I'm in a place of anticipation and occasional physical suffering

I'll live. The pain is temporary, and better than having it long term

So August kinda sucked for lil' ol' me, and I'm still dealing with pain because of, well, fresh surgical wound on my still quite angry toe. Now it's angrier, but it'll heal thankfully. Hopefully. It doesn't look too happy, but I've got antibiotics up the nine and now I have full access to the whole thing with the gauze out of the way. And I can add my own healing ointment that was helping the skin heal prior to my toenail getting harvested

Though this has definitely put a cold hard stop to my page production and I'm running low on stock, so I'm gonna try my best these following weeks to hustle while nursing this wound

Welp that's all about my personal life situation

Love you guys! Stay healthy! 💜 AND DRINK WATER!

Hi there, really love the content you bring here! I noticed your comics on DA a while back and was curious if by chance you had a Discord server? Would love to learn more from you as an artist. Keep up the amazing work!

Heya!! Aaah, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my silly stuff here and on DA! oUo

I do have a server, but it's mostly just for me and friends. I've ran and helped run public servers for many years, and I am enjoying my retirement from active administration from such communities. As things are right now, I don't have any desire to run a public server again, but I thank you for your interest!

Tumblr for now is a great way to interact with me, so feel free to keep on coming by, say hi! Thank you again so much, your compliments mean a lot! ;A; <3333

HEY GANG! I'm answering more stuff today, as you may have already seen, but there's a few asks that I'm holding onto at the moment for when my wrist isn't sore. These need drawn responses, they're too golden XDD

No ask will go ignored, I assure! <3

Some answers this week will be in character and might have some recycled older sketches accompanying them! Stuff from things I've yet to post, if not might not post because they're drafts and need some work HHHHH

[blazingstaro]

BY THE WAY I'VE SEEN ALL YOUR ASKS!!

PLEASE DON'T THINK I'VE IGNORED THEM ;A;

I'm finally gonna get through them today since I'm not completely incapacitated by allergies/migraine!

Geeze I've basically been sick with every accursed generic illness under the sun this month it seems. SHEEEEESH

I was completely fried by allergies on the 23rd and couldn't think of anything really cool to draw for MK's 30th birthday, so I'll probably be real late with that too ;A; Better late than never I suppose!

And please, feel free to ask anything of my characters, or the officials I manage! Scenarios, lore questions, silly things, you name it, go for it! Canonically dead or alive, my gremlins will answer XD Feel free to even ask me, personally, anything! I enjoy responding to queries!! oUo/

Let's all have fun together!!

aNYHOW ONE LAST POST AND I'M OFF TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

#blazingstaro beeps #oc asks #kirby oc #I'VE LOVED WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE ASKED ME AAAAA #PLEASE KEEP THE ASKS COMING I'LL GET TO 'EM FASTER NOW THAT I'M DRAWING DAILY AGAIN #thank a certain cat for helping me get back into the swing of things #he's really sparked a long-needed inspiration for me #I finally have found my fun again and I'm enjoying my art once more ;u; #thank you RTDL:DX for sparking a new love in a character that was already sneaking his way in starting from last year

DotS Update: March Edition!

Apologies for the lack of post activity lately! Came down sick with real bad allergies this past week (hay fever? Maybe a head cold? Not sure, can't afford to see a doctor), which followed a migraine that reeaaaally overstayed its welcome. Good news: no more light sensitivity, yay! Bad news: My head is more stuffed than a jalapeño popper, and just as deep-fried

I've had a post on DotS' Dark Meta Knight in drafts for a long while, so I've decided to post it for you all! Give you guys a little tasty something to chew on while I work on some more stuff! Not sure why I hadn't posted it sooner other than possibly just straight up forgetting XD Sorry about that!!

While I've been down from my sinuses going on strike, I continue to work on a lot of changes to my comic! I've been working on simplifying my style to ebb a little closer to how it was in the beginning, but more refined and streamlined. It'll still be real pretty (especially in important panels 👀), just easier for me to whip out. I realize I had burned myself out a year ago because I was putting too much detail into things that really didn't need it, and started falling back into my perfectionist habits.

Like hey, professional comics are stuffed with lazy and quick lines, and it still looks great, so why should I try to conform myself to printing out extremely high quality art every single page? I'm not trying to set a standard or prove anything, I'm just telling a story and sharing it omg

I started this comic for fun, and fun I shall have! It'll still look great for you guys, I won't be terribly lazy with it; I'll just have a more streamlined approach now, and will have predominantly cell shading rather than my signature soft-cell style ouo/

Behind the scenes, I've been playing around with some ideas revolving a certain character, and it's been giving me a lot of practice with comics, since it's been so long. Getting me back in the mind and grind of churning out page after page, sketch-wise, and helping me get back in touch with my root skills.

I'll be sure to share some examples here later, once I've done some full colored trials with this, see what you guys think!

I will probably no longer do colored text from here onward in my comic pages, mainly because it's a hassle to manage (it's pretty time consuming as well). However I'm pretty skilled at directing dialogue, so it should never be a question as to whom is speaking on any page. ouo7

On one final note, a certain official Kirby character has stolen my heart and wormed their way into among my top favorites, nevertheless stole a spot in my story AAAAAA (I understand the appeal now omg)

You guys might be able to guess, but I'll post a confession after this news blurb LOL

I can't stop drawing this funny lil' guy

This has consumed my life entirely and there's no signs of stopping

27 for the artist ask! I'm just genuinely curious because I barely do them unless I haven't drawn in weeks XD

WARM UPS! Yes I do! But unconventional ones 👀

I tend to doodle random characters doing silly things, commonly @starlightfyre's Fyta being a gremlin or any of my other characters being silly— memes especially

Oftentimes just rough sketches of who I need to be drawing next in my comic, or whoever is in my interest to draw at the moment! Anything to get my hand back to the point where I can freehand clean sketches straightaway; then I know I'm warmed up enough to resume drawing bigger things

Hi, you wanted an anonymous message?

I've followed your work for quite a few years, over on DeviantArt, and ever since you made your blog here. I've enjoyed seeing your take on canon Kirby characters as well as their connections with you and your sister's fan characters. Your art has always been so expressive, giving life to the world y'all created.

Aside from that, what few times we've spoken directly, you've been nothing short of sweet and a joy to interact with. Keep doing what you love! <3

AW ANON ;A; 💜💜💜 Thank you for sticking around with us both for so long!!

GJTBFJDGFH THANK YOU AAAAAAA!! That means so much to me ;A; 💜 Gah I have no words fhsjfbgh Seriously, thank you 💜

Hold up she needs to see this—

@starlightfyre SIS! COME FORTH AND BEHOLD! BE LOVED!
