#thoughts and prayers update

Now Available!

I'm proud to present my first community content available for sale here. Here's the cover summary: Geraldine “Geri” Wayfield grew up as the pastor’s daughter. The pastor was a faith healer who could back up his claims. The family-cult she descended from was frequently blessed with impressive feats of spiritual power. Spiritual Gifts were supposed to be her birthright from God, and Scars were a shameful sign of lacking faith.

The problem was, she wasn’t developing even the lowliest Spiritual Gifts despite her father’s power. And he was impatient and cruel. Spare the rod and spoil the child, after all.

Now Geri’s grown up and her father’s dead. She killed him. Her cohort helped her after she finally Diverged and escaped the cult after decades.

Today she’s in her first therapy session with a Remade psychiatrist. Maybe she’ll even attend more than one session. This is an illustrated novella that contains 16 original internal illustrations. It also features a poem in the introduction by my cousin who, like me, has personal experience with cult/religious abuse.

Content warning: This novella is for mature audiences and contains discussions of abuse, particularly physical, emotional, and cult/religious. Drug use and self-harm (in the opening poem) are also mentioned. Reader discretion is advised. It's been a journey and a meticulous process preparing everything and I'm glad it's finally over. I hope some of you can enjoy this work with me. You don't have to be terribly familiar with Deviant: the Renegades as most of the relevant parts of the setting should be explained in context.

Glimpse into my life: Paging Doctor Chopper

Art link

Hey everyone, Snail here! I spoke a while ago about chef-husband having a small accident at work and then gave a little tag update about selecting a one-piece doctor.

Trigger Warning, injury discussion below the cut.

On the 29th of Jan, chef-husband had a fall at work. He took his apprentices/students to an inflatable water park, overshot his landing on one of the ramps, and dislocated his shoulder. Upon getting out of the water and setting it back in, he broke his shoulder completely.

He's been off work for 7 weeks so far, recovering as best he can while in a sling, and managing the pain while awaiting further x-rays. He got an MRI yesterday, and the damage is worse than we initially thought.

Chef-husband has debris in the joint, the socket has a large tear in the cartilage. One of the main tendons is 50% torn, the broken bone is a little displaced, other small tendon, a build up of fluid, and some muscle damage.

The likely scenario from here is for him to get an Arthur-scope to clean out the debris, whereas the worst case scenario is full on surgery where they open him up and assess the damage and go from there.

So far, all we do is wait and hope for the best!

Doctor Chopper would be my first choice for a quick fix for him, but it would be fun to ask Franky or Kid to make him some chef-style attachments: brulee torch, meat cleaver, bone saw just to name a few! Maybe some tongs for him to do a quick 'click, click' at the bbq.

Thanks for reading 🖤!!

I know most of you know about my current trial situation. Well the update is that my abuser was released on bail and they bushed the trial back to June. This morning I woke up to a bullet hole through my back window. Please keep me and my child in your thoughts as we try to find a way to feel safe again and how I’m going to pay for this 😔

SEMI HIATUS POST - Okay. I'm not going to be around for like 2 weeks. Basically. From the 23/04 I will be working for 10 days straight. I get my day of on the 22nd and then I work 6 days in a row due to people being off and there barely being many full time employees or enough part timers to fill in the shifts. I will be working around 55hrs next week. All my shifts are like 9+ hours excluding one.

The following week of the 29/04 I will be working the first 4 days of the week. It's because I specifically booked for a long weekend as friends will be visiting. So this long week of work just happened to unfortunately happen the one week I can only work at the start of the week.

I'll have a queue running with art and aesthetics. Will through in the odd meme here and there. But I will genuinely mostly exist on Discord from the looks of it. If I have energy I will appear here but I don't think I'll get much of a chance and will mainly be filling the queue to keep things going here.

Sorry about this. A lot just decided to happen at once for me and I need to put writing on the back burner for now until May time.

I haven’t been feeling the best lately. Praise the gods, testing confirmed I do not have cancer or any other illness. I wasn’t well enough to celebrate Noumenia, but I was able to get up today and make offerings, and do a little cleaning. Currently resting before I try to tackle more chores. Blessed new month to all.

Starting this tonight bc my best friend is dragging me down with her in her new romance novel obsession.

Is it normal for these kinds of books to have content warnings at the beginning?

Let’s see how bonkers this gets 🤪

I’m kind of online again? Ish?

And uh, I feel like I want to recap this month cause maybe that’ll help me feel better about it or something…

I was hoping it would be a refreshing, relaxing, and clarifying break. It wasn’t. At all. I’m more exhausted than before and my depression has been probably the worst it has ever been. (Maybe I had a breakthrough last night but honestly I am still wary and unsure and just tired so I don’t know for sure yet)

I started physical therapy and I am…still not sure if it’s helping? I’ve tried dry needling a few times, but I can’t say I notice any drastic difference yet. (Though my neck went out really bad one day a few weeks ago so that might be impeding seeing any improvement) But hey, I tried Excedrin and it actually seems to help my migraines…I just hope I won’t have to keep taking them as often as I have been 🥴

Our cats also got fleas like…a month ago…and we are still dealing with them…maybe it’s a little better now but it’s still frustrating to see them…and get bit by them…they are also probably one of the reasons I’m so tired 😒 (and I haven’t drawn much cause I’m tired and the fleas are in my drawing room and last time I tried drawing on the couch in there I got bit 🔪)

A few good things: I got to do two escape rooms with family, and we beat them with a lot of time to spare and it was fun. This past week I got to see my brother and wife with the rest of the family and we all had a fun (though sometimes tiring) time. I also had some ideas for my books (slightly inspired by being salty about a book series I tried to read, and also excited for @dragonanne ‘s book release 🎉) so I might actually have a little more of a plot for the trilogy instead of just vague ideas lol. Oh and I read a lot of books and changed my book reading goal to 50 this year cause I’m only eight books away from that already 😂

So yeah…I’m kind of discouraged and disappointed about this past month…🫠

#so anyways I thought I’d know for sure that I’d take off till Christmas after this break but uh….don’t know if I’m gonna do that now #I am a little less inclined to scroll through insta though so maybe that’s a good thing? #there is another positive update but I gotta keep my mouth shut about it atm lol #and trying not to think about an annoyance today but I guess at least I have a topic for therapy now 🥴 #prayers appreciated I guess I’m just….worn out and 🫠 #aceo rambles

“And what do you think motivates those traits? What do you think made you so afraid of vulnerability in yourself?” Gabe asks.

Another sneak peek of my upcoming Deviant: the Renegades Storyteller's Vault novella, Thoughts and Prayers. In Deviant, all the characters are inherently traumatized as part of becoming Remade and gaining superpowers (called Variations in the game). Their very souls get cracked and their minds and bodies reflect what they've endured in the form of supernatural Scars. Most Origins of Remade tend to reflect single traumatic events or, if multiple events, over a shorter period of time. The Genotypal Origin, the ones who are genetically predisposed to Divergence (the event of becoming Remade) due to being born into a Remade family, are different. They represent Remade potentially exposed to a sustained campaign of "training" meant to be literally soul-breaking from birth. Thoughts and Prayers is the story of one such Genotypal Remade. It's a character study focusing on complex trauma, particularly coming from a cult environment.

Update for those of you following my love life drama, I found out today Ani’s been so off because he might have lung cancer. He’s a smoker and his lymph nodes have been inflamed for quite a while and at first the doctor assumed it was because he had Covid but both before and after Covid they’ve been inflamed and he was referred to a specialist who did and ultrasound and he was referred to another specialist to do a biopsy. It’s tomorrow afternoon and he texted me this information along with a request to spend the afternoon with him. So, yeah that’s what’s going on. I of course asked if he wanted me to go to the appointment with him but he declined so I told him I’d be there for him whenever he was done with the appointment, I’m so worried for him. I know I haven’t known him long but something just clicked with him and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. So if you guys have some good vibes to spare we could really use some. Part of me is very glad nothing is wrong relationship wise but I’m more so concerned about him. I’m not the type of person to just end something over a medical complication especially after all the complications I’ve had I’m just worried. I’m scared. I’ve lost two aunts and three grandparents to lung cancer and I don’t want to add to that list. So yeah good thoughts and vibes please 🙏

Life Update

Things are relatively stable.

I'm still trying to find a way out. I still have really big issues with food, not being able to eat what I want and I'm usually pushed to eat way more than I want and need. I still can do very little exercise. I still cannot afford to rent a place...

I'm trying my best to avoid being touched. It's quite unbearable. The level of rejection I feel is visceral, and so noticeable. The situation is quite tense in that sense.

But I have some ideas in mind on how to get somewhere safe. I just need some more time...please, keep on sending prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes, all that my way. I really need them! I'm staying strong.

I hope you all are doing well, are staying safe and taking care of yourselves and your mental health the best way you can 💜 ILY 🥺

Thank you to everyone that has offered prayers for my health as of late. I’m hopeful we have found the cause of things, and can begin the healing process.
