Any Lackadaisy fans out there may check my new YouTube video if the Christmas spirit is growing inside of you already! (Too early to be honest.)
Flowers grow, bloom, and then wilt, but some wilt much earlier, due to peer pressure, or problems in their lives.
Do not think you will never bloom, some take longer than others, but they will always do.
If you find yourself struggling in life, say something. Silence is one of the worst swords and shields of history, do not meet that fate.

☀️ The In-between ☀️
This started last year as a vent, although it faded away from it's original concept. Anyways, it was nice to play with the golden tones and the sea looks like bread.
Little Ivy drawing I did for practice. It was going to be a watercolour, but I feel this was going to be ruined being coloured.
Donate if you can to her, please!
I want to tell you more about me and why this campaign has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I'm sure you understand me if you also suffer from social anxiety. I am living through introvert hell and I just want it to stop 💔
My exhaustion can't be described with words. Every day I wish I had died when this all started. Everything exhausts me. Please help, please. I'm constantly annoyed with my family because we've been packed in the same room for months while we're all on edge, but they're still my family. I can't let them die. I can't let my younger siblings and my grandmother down🥹
My campaign is now vetted! So please don't hesitate to help me anymore.
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #347 )✅️

Drawing a feral cat after not drawing one for two years.
Also, a The Rise of Scourge artstyle study.
Mitzi drawing I did for the Lackadaisy's Discord server contest. I really liked the result, though I struggled a lot with the beginning of the drawing.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”
No, shut up, listen to me for a second.
“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.
These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.
On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.
This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.
These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community
Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.
These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.
These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.
These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.
Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.
Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.
