Hi, I'm Chu (they/them)!

⭐ Slightly Damned is my award-winning webcomic that I've been updating since 2004: sdamned.com

🐾 I sell cute animal shirts, pins, and other goodies under my RAIZAP label at cons & online: chu.storenvy.com

🐍 Sometimes I post kinky art, but I always tag it as # spicystuff!
We feel his absence deeply and miss him a lot because he was so affectionate. I moved into this house with Gil, so it feels weird that he’s not here anymore.

But I have no regrets. I’m letting myself feel the sadness of loss, but I will be okay. Just got a bit less energy than usual.

Gil’s got a little memorial shrine on the microwave 🧡

"Different", part 1/6

A scene from back when Alex and Ridge still lived in (and worked for) Ironfrost.

Watching learning artists of any skill level reject AI to continue practicing their art makes me very proud. Let us continue to refuse the easy way out and hone our craft together 🤝

They were my pride and joy!! I’m really sad that they’re not around anymore, but that’s just part of life…

My relationship to my other pets does not feel the same as with Hana & Gil in part bc they were REALLY affectionate. But I still love them, so I’ll just have to dote on them even more!

Thank you, Artie! Hana and Gil were such a mushy pair. It crushed me when Hana passed away 💔

I had Gil as my phone lock screen for the last few years, but when he passed, I changed it to one of him and Hana together. It gives me a sense of peace to imagine them reunited in some way. 💞

Oh yeah, the stress of bringing them from Japan to the US was through the roof! I was lucky to have a friends who were willing to help me out, and even though nothing bad happened, I swore to never do something like that again if I could help it lol

I adopted Gil with Hana, also from Lake Biwa. She passed away in 2021. Tbh it was boneheaded to adopt cats while I was in Japan. But I resolved to never give up on them.

I'm sad, but also relieved because... I did it. I never gave up. I miss them, but I'm also grateful for the time we had together.

Gil started life as a stray in a fishing area on the shores of Lake Biwa. His ear was clipped in a TNR program bc he was already a year old, but he turned out to be a total sweetheart. He was 3 when I adopted him.

You can forge a strong, loving bond with an adult cat from a rescue.

The fact that he was feeling a little better from last week made me doubt about my decision. But. It was clear to me that if I pushed to keep him for longer, he was only going to get worse again. I did not want to subject him to that, so I’m really happy that he was able to go on a good day. ❤️

He gave me lots of love to start the day, ate his beloved cat food that I brought back— just for him— from Japan, and he ate 5 sticks of Churu before he fell asleep peacefully for the last time, snuggled in my arms on a soft blanket in my lap.

Goodbye, Gil. (2007? - 2026)

My baby, my buddy, my little bastard, my son, my "grampy". I'm going to miss your voice and your chubby cheeks soooo much.

Thank you for 15 happy years of friendship and love. 🤍🧡

I'd be lying if I said I haven't been having a hard time lately. It's been a very tough year. Rainy reminds me it's ok to cry. If I cry, I'll cry, but I'll still keep going, I just need to take a moment to cry. #OC #art

fried cheese curds are really good!!

that's for sure 😩 the last goodbyes I had with other pets were so sudden and dramatic that I think they were actually traumatic. a calm and peaceful farewell is the best I can give Gil, but it's sad no matter what.
February 9, 2026 at 9:52 PM
Gil’s not feeling better.

After research & discussion with his vet, she supported me looking into euthanasia. I felt it would be selfish to push him through more medicine and treatment considering his age. He deserves a peaceful farewell.

He held out for a loooong time, and I’m very grateful 🧡

Yup!

As a bonus, here’s a page where Midna says she might like Link better as a wolf. lol

Gil is at least 18 years old and he's either entering or already in stage 3 of kidney disease. His symptoms match. I know I'm going to have to say goodbye soon, but it's unclear if it'll be days, weeks, or months from now. Not knowing is exhausting! Right now I just wanna make sure he's comfortable.
February 9, 2026 at 12:22 AM
Sorry, but I'm going to pass on streaming tonight. I don't have the time to play the last two chapters of Fuga 3 due to another obligation.

But also I'm really tired from not enough sleep and fretting over Gil. He has been sick the last few days. He seems to be feeling a little better today.

This is who Kazai thinks he is. Maybe he can be in another 20 years lol
