A bit of poetry I've been working on between editing 💜

#poem
#poetry
A poem that reads: "A name meaning low settlement, How low must you be to earn that title? Old English ditches? Antisocial yobs? High crime rates and low expectations. Daylight robberies and nighttime sin. Could it be the lack of sunlight, painting the town in dreary sunder? The youth with no hope, no dreams, No money except for cigs and vapes that add to the cloud, Hanging over the low settlement town."

Disappears for two months then dumps some Butterfly Effect on you all

The first photo is the main characters - Trystan and Theo.

The second photo is Trystan's ex, Megan, seeing them together.

A man with brown hair and blue eyes, Trystan, has one arm over the shoulder of a man with blond hair and brown eyes, Theo. They're both happy and smiling. A woman with auburn brown hair and green eyes, Megan, with a look of disdain on her features.

Netherton, A name meaning low settlement, How low must you be to earn that title? Old English ditches? Antisocial yobs? High crime rates and low expectations. Daylight robberies and nighttime sin. Could it be the lack of sunlight, painting the town in dreary sunder? The youth with no hope, no dreams, No money except for cigs and vapes that add to the cloud, Hanging over the low settlement town. A black and white Jack Russell Terrier wearing a "cone of shame" Buster collar sitting on top of a blanket on a sofa enjoying the sunlight. “You helped me see colour for the first time in years, that’s pretty important for an author… you understand, right?” Theo paused, thinking about Trystan’s words. “Yeah,” he nodded, looking up to the starlit sky, “I’m beginning to.” THE END

"I regret everything I did this weekend." Trystan backed out of the car park, "the usual hangover cure?" "Fried chicken and aspirin, stat." He laughed, the sound making Keitarocbury his face in his hands and hunch over himself, "sssh."

Cayenne here is a total sweetheart. But boy, when he gets sick, does he go big or go home. He has eye drops (irriated eye) for the next 10 days and nasal saline (other isue) for the foreseeable. Forever thankful to the vets, especially exotics!

Yesterday I went to *the* museum that inspired many Butterfly Effect subplots. I'm always so at peace there. They had a bee exhibit, here's some photos!

Ziggy is a star. While the maximum lifespan for a reptile with crypto is 3 months, he's part of a trial with medicinal therapies. It's now been 6 months since his diagnosis and he's smashing life.

Today he has his 3 month check up with with vet, so let's wish him luck! 🤞

Little known fact about me: I care for very sick reptiles.

This little dude is Ziggy. He's crypto+ (so for those who don't know, crypto is a highly contagious and deadly infection that reptiles can get - cryptosporidiosis is found in many animals, even humans. But for reptiles, it's life limiting)

Here's my writing buddy for the day, Skylar - an 11 year old Cranky Family member, aren't her ears huge(ly unique)?

I've almost finished chapter 9 of Butterfly Effect. It's insane how fast the last few chapters have gone! I'm amazed how I've done 4 chapters since September, then 5 chapters over the last 2 weeks!

My very first digital art was completed in mid-2015, and the same character almost 10 years later!

Although I upgraded software about 5 years ago, I felt like revisiting the good ol' free software I used to use to redraw her.

Art shows character and artstyle progression throughout the years 2016-2023 at roughly 2 year intervals. The character has varying styles and colours of hair all around the orange/brown colours. With eyes that are either blue or golden, depending on whether he has contact lenses or glasses.
