So I heard about the news after I woke up and I've been thinking a lot about it. For the @hotguycomiczine, I had the opportunity to draw a few countdown images with the upcoming deadline so of course - I chose to draw Jellie. This was before anything came out about it.
During the process I really wanted to draw her in a recognizable style while also portraying her properly. I quickly came to appreciate how beautiful (and a little difficult to draw /affectionate) she is - and what a lovely cat she really is and will always be.
Losing someone is heartbreaking and I'm absolutely no authority on it, not at all in any sense really, but I have gone through it especially in these last couple years. I don't and will never really be over losing the people that I've lost, and it's never going to get "easier" at any point in the grieving process, but it's not ever, ever something you should be ashamed about. It's human. Please remember that, and stay safe.
Thank you Jellie, for staying with Scar for so many years and comforting him and all of us through so many hardships and rough times. I couldn't have asked for a better companion and I'm sure Scar agrees all the same.
Have a safe journey!

Comic #338: Just around the corner - Website links: Here!
I worked on this comic on and off for a week, stopping constantly because it hurt too much to express the depths of my feelings. Yet I am glad to have it out. It's disturbing how empty the house feels without Rio...

Rest in peace Jellie, you were an awesome cat.
I'm not good with emotions, but I hope Scar and his folks will be given time to grieve.
Losing a pet is awful. She was the goodest of girls, and she'll be missed.
o7, sending my condolences.

Tumblr wants cat posts for Caturday. I guess this is as good a time as any to make a little memorial post.
Yesterday my elderly cat Diana said her final goodbyes. She was held by her favorite human in the world (my husband) and was staring in his face as she passed (staring up at him was her favorite activity)
I adopted Diana in 2008 in Memphis. I had been cat-hunting all day and had nearly given up when a humane society worker told me they’d JUST gotten in a cat they still needed give shots to. But they wanted me to meet her, see if we clicked. The SECOND I saw her in her little cage she was purring and friendly and eager to meet me. Decided to adopt her a couple of days later after her shots were up to date and she’s been my sweet stubborn spitfire baby ever since.

More photos and more memorial under the cut <3

She was bold, friendly, playful. She loved to “chase” people around corners and was obsessed with laser pointers. She took on the role of grumpy older sister when we adopted a kitten a few years ago.
I had her for fifteen happy years. She was with me through break-ups, marriage, moving around the country, brief homelessness. When I adopted her I was a thin 20-something still able to work and drive, and she happily snuggled me through the years as my body broke down and I became a full-time cripple. Diana was with me through so much change, and she was a loving constant.
She had kidney problems her entire life... we managed them through meds and health food but I knew someday her kidneys might be the thing that took her from us. I was right... they failed, rapidly. She was in so much pain in her last few days, and we knew it had to be the right time. Any hospitalization options wouldn’t guarantee anything, and even if we fixed her kidneys she had had a stroke recently, her heart was a bit weak, and her knees were a mess of arthritis and spurs. And even in all that pain, I could still tell how much she loved us. She still tried to snuggle up with my husband, purr as he pet her.
Her memory is a blessed one. It will take quite a long time for that hole in my heart to stop aching.

cw & tw: pet loss under the cut bc i've been reading loving reaper by jenny jinya on webtoons and it has inspired this.
neighbor!nanami who's concerned when you disappear for two weeks after your little date.
neighbor!nanami who thought maybe the kiss goodnight had scared you away.
neighbor!nanami thinks you might be ghosting him, but why would you when you live next door?
neighbor!nanami doesn't see you on the balcony, nor do you come to answer the door when he knocks.
neighbor!nanami notices the lack of bark from the other side of the wall; the laughter and the "stop it, kai" no more faintly filling his living room.
neighbor!nanami who hasn't seen you leave your apartment, or even hear you through the paper thin walls.
neighbor!nanami who, after two weeks, hears the quiet click of the door as he steps out into the hall.
you're standing there, gripping a small urn in your hands and a collar between your fingers. your eyes are vacant, staring off at the blank space on the door.
neighbor!nanami decides not to bother you, watching you open the door and step inside. he'll let you come to him when you're ready.
neighbor!nanami is startled awake at 2am by his phone ringing and answers without looking.
"I was asleep, Goj—"
"sorry. I-I'll call you ba—"
he doesn't give you a moment to hang up, speaking your name quietly. he hears the rustling of leaves in the background, the trees dancing with the wind outside. he takes it you're on your balcony.
neighbor!nanami doesn't waste time climbing out of bed and onto the balcony.
neighbor!nanami sees you sitting under the moonlight, holding the same urn from earlier and the collar sitting on the outdoor glass table.
neighbor!nanami climbs over the little wall that split your balconies, taking a seat in the chair beside you.
"he was pretty old, you know," you whisper, eyes on the trees above you. "but he was a great dog, a great friend." you sigh, the tears in your eyes and a soft smile on your face as you tilt your head back down to look at neighbor!nanami, who doesn't speak.
he met kai a few times; when he would wag his tail and bark as nanami would take back the emptied bentos. the gray hairs around his eyes always made the shepherd look elderly, but he was much more lively in his old age.
"kai always loved this one path we would take, near a lake," you say after a moment, taking the time to wipe those tears away. "would you like to come with me to spread some of his ashes?"
nanami nods after a moment because he realizes...
he isn't just your neighbor anymore. he had slowly become your person.

my heart is fucking shattered. just this thursday, i had to make the soul-tearing decision to say goodbye to my beautiful mina bean 💔 i watched her go from looking normal to having a giant malignant tumor take over the left side of her face, jaw & neck. it had grown so fast that her left eye was bulging out. squamous cell carcinoma is the most aggressive cancer i had ever seen & the tumor was deemed inoperable. she went peacefully while hugging her mommy & being pet from her favorite vet folks. i am so sorry, sweetheart. thank you for letting me rescue you after your shithead abusive past owner made the first half of your life hell. thank you for being such a wonderful presence in the house & for always wanting to hold hands. i hope that you know how fucking cherished you were in the family these last four years. mommy loves you forever & already misses you so much 😔

hey, little songbird (a farcille fic)
(spoilers ahead)
Marcille realised, as she held Pipi’s fragile body in her palm, that things would never be the same; that she would never be the same. She stroked those beautiful yellow feathers one last time, and though they were as silky as ever, those sweet chirps of contentment that she used to hear daily were but all but echoes in her mind. All that was left behind was an empty vessel of her avian soul. 
Answer me, she wanted to beg. Just let me see you fly one last time, away from here, away from my sight, so I needn’t mourn, so that my heart will stop aching the way it is right now. 
But the words never parted from her tongue, and nothing but choked sobs erupted from her quivering lips. Even as her mother’s warm arms embraced her entire frame, even as sat down to eat her favourite meal of grilled pork, even as she lay in bed that night wrapped in her soft duvets. 
Unfair, unfair! Why did life go on, even without her beloved bird? Why was it that the world continued turning, and that her life would carry on far longer than Pipi’s, far longer than her friends’, far longer than all the humans she ever loved? 
Tears continued to spill from her eyes and onto her pillowcase, almost as if she hoped that if she poured enough of herself into them, the gaping hole in her heart, and the empty space in Pipi’s cage could be filled once again.
“Marcille, Marcille,” a soft voice roused the girl from her uneasy slumber, and gentle hands shook her awake. She blinked sleepily and rubbed the bleary remnants of her dreams from her eyes, and instinctively reached out to grab the sleeve of the one who woke her. She raised her gaze to meet Falin’s and her breath caught in her throat as her mind grasped how close they were; her short blonde hair brushed against Marcille’s shoulder, and she could almost feel her breath against her cheek.  
“Falin?” she whispered, praying that the dark would veil the growing warmth in her cheeks from her classmate. She mentally shook herself, her grip on Falin’s sleeve loosening. “What are you doing up at this hour?”
“I’m sorry for waking you,” Falin immediately apologised in a hushed tone. Marcille could see her head hanging in apology, and found herself smiling in exasperated fondness as she pet her friend’s head. 
“Shhh, it’s alright,” she combed her hand through Falin’s locks, letting her hands linger for just a moment before dropping them back into her lap. “I was just worried, that’s all.” 
Falin fell silent for a moment, and Marcille felt warm fingers slipping through hers, and a thumb brushing against her palm. “Could I sleep here with you, just for tonight?” 
Marcille nodded without so much as missing a beat as she scooted over to make space.  
Once Falin had laid down next to her, Marcille used her free hand to cocoon the both of them under her blanket, still holding onto her hand with her other. All that cut through the night’s silence was the sound of their breathing, slowly falling into rhythm with one another. 
“Are you comfortable?” Marcille asked. The question transcended their new sleeping arrangement; it was one that made Marcille feel more bare and vulnerable than ever, in spite of the sleeping garments she donned, and the blankets that kept her safe from the cold’s embrace.
She could almost see those apple-red cheeks bunching into a smile sweeter than honey as Falin replied, “I always have been, with you.” 
An ache etched itself into Marcille’s chest, one that felt both familiar and not; it was as if she’d felt this way about Falin all her life, even before she knew her, even before either of them existed. 
That was the first of many nights they’d spend lying together, sharing secrets, spells and stories, and letting their hushed voices weave into the darkness of the night, making everything feel lighter than it’d been before. 
Marcille’s hands shook as they grazed against pure, white feathers - whether it was in awe, fear or anticipation, she wasn’t sure anymore. She lifted her head, her heart hammering against her chest as she gulped. 
“Falin,” she whispered, as if it were just another one of those nights back in the academy dorms. Feathers ruffled, and sharp amber eyes met her tired sage ones. “You’re home.”

I made a post on twitter about it but I'm desperate for help so I'm also making a post on tumblr as well, info on the tweet.
(CW PET DEATH, PET LOSS, PET SICKNESS) tldr; my dog bean is suffering from the same disease that took my late dog zero who I sadly had to euthanise because I couldn't pay for his vet appointments + age and how advanced his tumors were. it's very early on for Bean so I want to do all in my hands to take care of him and his vet appointments to make sure he lives as long as he can. this dog is my family and all I have here. I'm desperate.

The dog died.-
Tumblr media
This big old yellow critter died of heart failure today. My sister had him for ten years. Everyone is going to miss him terribly; especially my nephew and niece never even knew life without that dog.
His name was Max.

So I got a phone call from my mom this afternoon letting me know that my family’s dog, Takaya, is being put to sleep tomorrow afternoon.
This has been a long time coming for sure; I found out her health was in decline from my dad a month ago when he came to visit, but I’d hoped she might be able to make it into the new year.
I did a facetime with my mom tonight to say goodbye to her face to face before she gets put down, and to put it lightly I feel pretty miserable. She’s been a part of our family for a long time; I think we estimated that she was about 15 years old. She’s been such a good dog and was always so energetic and I’m going to miss her deeply. It feels even worse that I can’t be there in person to say goodbye, as I’m in a city a twelve hour drive away.
So’untë & nenyusten’, Takaya. Misiyh for all the memories and happiness you brought to our life.
