HE IS GONE!!
The account is gone!
Don't know if this is temporary or permanent, but regardless:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you who helped keep me safe here.
I am so fucking grateful for your support I can hardly express it.
I'm crying right now, but they are happy tears!

My stalker is back at Bluesky.
He has stalked me for 15 months and counting.
(See pinned post).
To the point where I had to involve German police. His real name is Simon Flückiger, he lives in Mainz, Germany.
(Please, I beg of you, keep this creep away from me by blocking and reposting).

ABG - November Comms Open @abyssgrant.bsky.social · 10h

Latest commission completed 😁💙

#ABG_Art #Illustration #TTRPG

A fantasy circus clown stands in a very dynamic pose on one leg and curving over so she's looking at the POV upside down.

She has a broad grin on her face, with smudged black eyeliner and gold glitter. She has black lipstick on too and blonde curly hair.

She has too massive jester ears with a massive bell on the ends, a red frilly neck thing and leather jackets. A lot of gold emblems and buckles embellish her red and black clothes. There is a big deconstructed hoop around her that has golden knives from the ends.

She has in her hand a pristine porcelain mask in her hands and covering half her face.

A close up showing the details of her face and mask.

I now realise that hiking 100 kms in difficult terrain on a sprained ankle was rather unwise.

Random thought, but blowing out birthday candles )on a cake that all gursts are supposed to eat afterwards) is an unsanitary tradition ...

Kawaiju @kawaiitornado.bsky.social · 5d

Can't argue with that

But *I* can have an otter, right?!

Kawaiju @kawaiitornado.bsky.social · 5d

Not to me 😂

Kawaiju @kawaiitornado.bsky.social · 5d

I feel the same, and I believe @lollybeau.bsky.social would totally allow me to have all of the otters I desire

Ampersamples @ampersandd20.bsky.social · 6d

I’m almost certain all my problems would be solved if @lollybeau.bsky.social would let me have otters but she is mean and won’t let me.

Apparently I'm a masochist because I *will* be streaming more Polyarmory on Twitch tomorrow. 😔

KatBat @katbatmadethat.bsky.social · 11d

Polyarmory is a hostile play environment and I feel personally attacked. Ten thumbs up. No, those aren't all mine. Don't worry about it.

It's not quite done.. but close enough to post here.

My daughter has a 'memory' box that she saves old movie stubs, plane tickets, cards & stuff like that.

So I thought I'd make her a treasure chest for her treasures.

I'm a crap woodworker.. I'm an iffy leather worker..

It is rarely appropriate to rejoice about the death of another person.
This is an exception to that rule:
