It was late... At least for me it was. I just got off work around 10pm for my shift at work...
My last shift, that is...
My job just dropped me without any warnings, without any write ups and no notice for me to prepare to have a new job lined up whatsoever. Just proving further to never show loyalty to a multi-billion dollar cooperation.
Body on auto-pilot mode, weaving through the crowds of people and monsters in the city and just cancelling out the noises around me, my mind couldn't help but wonder... Why? Why would they just drop me? I've worked for the company for 5 years. I've always arrived early, stayed extra if needed and if I was ever sick, I made sure to provide a doctor's note so I wouldn't have any unexcused absences on my record. So why—
…Wait. Hold up...
“Due to recent events, and information provided from our PR team that also works with social media, we are letting go a few workers within this company. This is nothing personal, but we need to make sure that the people that work for this company are people that best represents us, our values, and what we stand for, and we feel that this company isn’t for you.”
“…Information provided from our PR team that also works with social media…”
“…people that work for this company…”
“…best represent us, our values, and what we stand for…”
This could be a goddamn coincidence, but… Did those fuckers fired me because they found out I was an activist taking part in a protest for monster rights?!
That had to be it—it was rumored that the company and its CEO were against even the most basic rights Monsters well deserved. The last protest was a combo of fighting for Monsters to have the right to have Driver’s Licenses and legalization of Monster-Human marriage. The human police got involved and it became a huge thing all over the News and online. The PR team must have found out some of their workers were taking part in the protest and had to clean house. Ugh…
As I stopped walking for a moment, I saw the bright red neon sign of my usual hangout, Grillby’s. The owner, Grillby, was a fire monster and a good friend of mine. Though he was a monster of few words, his actions spoke for him. I worry one of these nights, he’ll get sick of me just venting to him and crying into my drinks. Honestly, tonight was very much needed for me to get shit faced and ugly cry…
Stepping through the door and with the ring of a bell, my being was engulfed in a welcoming warmth and cheerful atmosphere. The usual patrons in their usual seats as if this bar was their second home—and it really was. Grillby’s place was that nice of a business. Looks like Doggo is having a ruff night playing Blackjack with the others and is barking up a storm. That bunny monster is giggling her ears off and slumped over in her booth. The same chill music is still playing on that old jukebox. It was nice… This place was nice…
Taking my seat at the bar, Grillby already knew I had a lot on my mind and had some hot fries ready for me and told me he’d make my usual drink—which was a spiked spider cider. He and Muffet have been working with ideas on food and drink so they can both benefit and see what other folks like and where they can improve. It’s nice.
“And it’s such fucking bullshit that they’d just… just, uhh… fuck, what did I say? Fuck, right! My company just fucking fired me because they’re just ugly bigot fuckwads! Humans trapped Monsters underground for Gods know how long and now that y’all are back, they wanna act all superior and try to lord over Monsters and prevent y’all from having equal… uh… things!!! It’s bullshit!”
“…And it’s time to cut you off for tonight, Julia.”
“Noooo, Grillbyyyy, I’m not drunk. I only has 1 drink…”
“And that was my mistake. You can’t handle your alcohol—especially monster alcohol… Did you want to head back to my loft to relax for the night?”
“Nnn… Too many words… Grillby, lemme have another—my job sucks butt and I wanna drink til I can’t feel feelings anymore…”
“…heh, keep your gin up, kiddo. it’ll get better with time. after all, we ale make pour decisions.”
And that’s when I met him…
“A… A talking skeleton monster…?”
It was like he came out of nowhere, but… There he was, next to me. A rather short skeleton monster with… eyes lights as bright and beautiful as a galaxy and an outfit to match. Gosh, were those sparkly freckles on his zygomatic bones? Cute… And… He’s floating? Is he doing that with his magic? I mean, I shouldn’t assume gender, but with a voice so rich and deep like that, I…
“…Wait, was that a pun?”

Hubby and I are out of town, because he's participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event and while he's doing that, I'm crocheting more eggs.
Two girls saw the display models I have and immediately wanted them. Their Dad was more than happy to pay DOUBLE the asking price for the 10K and Shadow Egg.
Their names are Moonlight and Sunlight. I hope they enjoy their new homes!
I made some lovely Pokémon Egg display models! Read more to check out what I got!
2K Egg
5K Egg
7K Egg (Gift given through friends)
10K Egg
12K Egg (Reward for defeating a Team Rocket Boss)
And this one is my own special creation—the Shadow Egg!
This design was an inspiration from an old Pokémon game I played, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
I do plan on adding these lovely eggs to my Ko-Fi Shop as they are or as keychains! But if you're wanting them before they're listed, my commissions are always open! Here are the prices I have in mind for the eggs:
$5 as they are
$7 as a keychain

Julia: ...I... Swear to Delta. Skeleton monsters are causing chaos in my life.💢 Not gonna worry about him. Not gonna think about him.💧
Tama: 🎶Some-one has a ty~pe!🎶
Tama: Someone has a ty~pe.🎶Julia: Shut it! I don't!
Fushia: She's right, you know. By the way, you really should get that front door you kicked off it's hinges fixed, darling. I saw a squirrel run in here...💧
Julia: I don't have a type—quit implying it.
Tama: Let's see... Having a one night stand with a skeleton monster and having a bony bun in the oven as a result, mailing over 50 crochet bees to a skeleton monster, knitting a sweater with an embroidered cheesy pun for a skeleton monster and knitting a scarf with expensive merino wool for a skeleton monster... You don't have a type? Sure, Jan. ✨
Julia: ...Y'all are grounded. 💢
Tama & Fushia: But Mooooooom...!
Julia: ...Is... Is Cor and his friend doing okay...? I probably shouldn't worry, but... I'm not exactly sure why I am since I barely know him, but... Just something deep down in me just hopes he's okay and things get better for him y'know? I'm not sure if what I say makes sense or is being conveyed properly. I'm probably being weird. My apologies.
"theyre dead"
"bwahahAHAH! just messin' wit' ya! Yknow you shouldn't worry too much for someone you barely know, not good for the...little thing.. you got going on"
"AHAHAHA How'd you think?! Cool right?!?! MAn it took me FOREVER to finish those shots! The director was super stressed over it, but this is TOTALLY worth it ahahaha!!

Updated look on my succubi-sona since I've gotten better at doing digital art. Aaaand look at this adorable little bean I'm carrying! My sweet little Orion.
Just some self-indulgent art and me showing off my improvement in digital art. I'm actually legit proud!
Imagine my shock when I saw that my first Helluva Boss fanart got so many views and likes! I was… well, shocked! Thank you all SO MUCH!I was so happy seeing that that I decided to make my own Impsona and make a Hellhound version of an old OC of mine, Eve! I really liked how this turned out.My impsona, Juju, lives in the Lust Ring and is mostly a recluse that is chronically online most times. They spend most of their time gaining an audience through their art and gaming streams along with some VA work on the side.Though they are a 'cubi, the thought of having sex or being physically intimate with people they barely know or have a connection with disgusts them, so they find a work around by doing their work through the power of the Internet. Their loving audience are at their little cloven feet and they don't even have to touch them! And just happily throw money at them to boot! It's a win-win!The days they absolutely have to leave their lovely home, they are always accompanied by their friend and bodyguard, Eve, the hellhound. She's a friendly face, but will maul your face off when provoked. Eve truly appreciates Juju because she's one of the few denizens of Hell that treat her like an actual person than just some servant or pet.
Your amigurimi are cute! Just wanted anted to ask a couple questions. Where would you be shipping from (vaguely, to help with estimating shipping prices with the tariffs and stuff) and are you perchance considering taking comms for custom amigurimi at any point? Like people's OCs and stuff.
Thank you very muchies!
I mainly ship within the US, but open to shipping internationally. In fact, I recently shipped out a 6ft x 6ft Queen size crochet blanket to Germany.
I let my customers know that they are responsible for providing funds for the shipping, especially if it's international since it is more expensive process. I make sure to get an estimate of shipping costs and relay that to my customer so they can send the funds, I mail their item(s) out, and provide them their shipping info so they can track their package.
My commissions are always open, but I'm also currently doing prep work for an upcoming craft fair I got accepted to participate in. I'm super excited!
Hopefully that answers your questions!
