hello! just wanted to know why youre closing ur shopee shop on april 5? been a buyer and lover of ur art since pandemic and im sad to see it go🥹 thank u po🫶🥺

Aww thank you so much!! I'll miss my shopee, too!! It's just been getting more difficult to use recently ;_; My main gripe is how they've severely limited the amount of time to prepare orders... They used to allow sellers a 2 day time frame to schedule order pickups in advance, but with their new terms I only really have the 12 hours from 4pm to 4am the next day to prepare orders, which is just really difficult for my current work schedule o(-( Never mind that their mandatory shipping courier doesn't pick up orders on time anyway to the point that I had several orders auto-cancelled by the system, so I had to pester their customer service for weeks to opt me out of it haha....

I'll still be open to PH orders in the future, but not through shopee. I'll post updates on that in my socmed when the time comes! Maybe I'll return to shopee in the future if things change though 🥲

#the rising service fees definitely aren't helping either ;_;

hi. go buy esims for gaza. go preorder a kufiya from hirbawi. buy insulin for palestinian diabetics who need that help. if you live in the states use this to email your reps (this takes maybe 5 seconds to do). check out this massive list of resources where you can educate yourself in a meaningful and actionable way even if you don't have the financial means right now. from the river to the sea palestine will be free. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

do you plan on restocking magni/vesper charms? (since they graduated and all OTL) and would you also be making armis stuff too?

I won't be restocking them anymore 😔 but I would be open to accepting special orders for any fans that might be interested!

As for Armis, I do plan on making stuff of them eventually! I want to finish making Promise first hehe

Thank you, and I love you!

Samchon gained his wings in the early morning of April 2. Our family had the honor of being chosen by him — he was an old stray dog that found our home — and we had the privilege of being with him in his senior years and his final moments. He had chronic kidney disease, and as much as I dreaded the diagnosis, in a way I'm grateful that we had a long time to say goodbye. Grief and relief are two conflicting emotions I've been grappling with. I miss him a lot. He was like a son to me, really.

I first met Samchon when he was hiding in our laundry room in November 10, 2018. He was emaciated and covered in twigs and matted hair, so we knew that he'd been on the streets for a while. We tried to find his family for weeks but no one claimed him, so we adopted him and celebrate his "gotcha day" every November 10. November 10 also happens to be Yamaguchi's birthday, so I often drew my two favourite boys together. I wanted to compile my drawings of them in one place, mostly for myself.

I've been taking time off to grieve and just regain my bearings. Samchon's palliative care was such a big part of my family's daily routine that his absence is felt in many different ways. I plan to return to the swing of things by next week, and will update my shop customers and commissioners accordingly regarding delays.

If you read this far, thank you!

#cw pet death #my art #I don't think I'll stop drawing my dog in the future #which hopefully doesn't sound like a weird thing

#was talking to a childhood acquaintance yesterday and how we neither recognize nor want to associate with our high school selves anymore #got me thinking about youth #just felt like drawing a young tsukishima also. lol #tsukishima kei
