  1. Hey guys!
    I'm doing my best to hop on as often as possible! I really appreciate all of your kind thoughts and support!

    I want to explain my hiatus and lack of activity a bit, and perhaps alleviate any concerns. I'm okay! I've just been under a lot of stress and have been very, very busy with work and my pets. I figured now was a good time to announce this because I finally have a legitimate answer; my ferret, Solace, had an ultrasound today. The doctors found a large tumor in his left adrenal gland, and some abnormalities in his pancreas that are indicative of adrenal disease and insulinoma. Our next move, most likely, will probably be an abdominal exploratory surgery and tumor removal. There are some risks associated with such an invasive procedure, though. Whether we pursue surgery or not, he'll be on medication for the rest of his life. We knew this would probably be the case and I have been preparing for months, but that doesn't make it all any less hard to hear. I work in an emergency clinic for animals, so I have a very, very clear idea of what all this entails- both a blessing and a curse, I think. I'm doing my very best to keep up activity as much as possible and start being a real member of the MLP Forums team again. I've just been having a real hard time, but you all have been so incredibly patient with me and I appreciate it so much <3

    Here's a picture of my babies;

  2. It's been a little while! I'm so sorry about that, guys, but it looks like I should be back for good this time around.

    I was sort of sucked into my work and schooling for a little while as well as dealing with some aspect of my mental health (I have Avoidant Personality Disorder and have finally been able to see somebody and start treating it). I'm working as a veterinary assistant for an emergency pet clinic as well now and I am so stoked about it, but it has been time consuming and my schedule hasn't been very consistent- it looks like we've got it figured out now, though!

    For those of you who wished me a happy birthday today, thank you so much! I'm so touched that you guys even really remembered me after so long! 

  3. Left Stormreaver to find a more interesting server, and to get away from some negativity, and ended up in Emerald Dream. Then left Emerald Dream for Burning Legion, because I missed the smaller population and didn't think I'd ever roleplay much, but now I'm headed back to Emerald Dream again. Wowee.

  4. Welcome to the forums! I hope you have a great time here c:

      Cool I'm on there too! I'm not sure what to do though..how do you attack?

      im on team sun (I wish I was on moon ~_~ )

    2. Tealeaf

      Tealeaf

      You attack by drawing the other teams' character c: You get points for what level of detail is in the drawing, which is totally based on settings you pick when you upload so it's real nice and easy.

    3. Vampira Heart

      Vampira Heart

      Yeah I figured it out and attacked a few :) 

      And your next!!! Heh Heh Heh!!! >:3 

  7. I'm working on a fun little character design for my friend's MLP AU, but I'm having a hard time with the species. There are lots of earth ponies so I'd like to stray away from that. She's a winter embodiment...any ideas?

      I am no good at visual art, but when you said winter, I got a picture of a Crystal Pegasus that was icy blue with soft winter snow white wings and a matching mane and tail that has a slight glitter in the sunlight, just like  freshly fallen snow.

  8. Finding good quality ferret food (or cat food for ferrets) is surprisingly difficult. 

  9. Last week before graduation! I'm really excited to be able to start helping around the site again.

  10. TFW I can't get licensing to sell pokemon merch

  12. Cutting out fake friends like ✂️

  13. Oh god I'm so sorry about my absence ;3;

  14. I know I've been kinda absent lately, but I'm streaming tonight ;3; hoping to get some work done so I can get some time to do more here. link here; https://picarto.tv/EniiWisp

  15. Hey guys, I know I've been away a LOT. My lizard recently died so I've been mourning. Just want you to know I'm doing alright though. Still sorry about the art delay.

  16. Oh god ;3; Really feel bad about how long it's been taking me to post those damn free sketches. Soon though! Just been busy with stuff and keep forgetting.

    1. Sweet Pen

      Sweet Pen

      Don't worry about it, since it's free, no one should bother you to ask about the art

    2. Tealeaf

      Tealeaf

      I'm glad you guys understand c: They're actually done >< I just keep getting held up with work.

  17. Trying to catch up on artwork while also working on my wow character's backstory. I play on a PvP server, what am I doing?

  18. I still get on everyday and check around some of the threads to keep up to date lol I promise that, even if I'm not talking a whole lot for a day or more, I'm still around for the most part.

  19. So, anybody here on Furvilla? It seems pretty noice so far but i'm sure the servers are getting pretty full.

  20. I really remember expecting to be much more active on this site. I need to reach out more lol

  21. Working on an anthro fox character at the moment and, honestly, I wouldn't say it's easy. Having a hard time with colors today ;3;

  22. Has anybody here ever considered a DnD type game with mlp characters?

    1. CaptainDoubloon

      CaptainDoubloon

      I've never played DnD but that sounds like a fun idea.

    2. Tealeaf

      Tealeaf

      It's fun c: I'm sure I'd have to approach it like a homebrew world, but still.

  23. Oh boy! I have been way busier than I actually expected to be ;3; It wont be too much longer before I get some break time, though c:

  24. Thinking of opening a free art thread for sketches, perhaps? I did a lot of them in stream yesterday.

    1. Stardust Balance

      If you do that, let me know. I wanna be first in line. :P

    2. Tealeaf

      Tealeaf

      For sure c: I'll probably make a status when I get around to it with a link.

  25. Finally back at home! I've got a few art trades I need to get around to, but once those are done I'll be joining in on the roleplayyyy <3
