Crystal is a 9 year old AQHA mare, and is a bit… special. In more than one regard.
Crystal is one of the sweetest, most gentle horses I’ve ever met, with the patience of a saint, but she’s got a few quirks about her that make her unique.
For starters, Crystal is smart enough to figure out how to open the door on her stall and how to open the gate, but somehow dumb enough to walk straight into a tree that was directly in front of her. Crystal also LOVES belly rubs and has made us think she was sick/injured a few times cause she’d lay down and scoot herself around on the ground just to scratch her belly. She’s also got a thing for chewing on leadropes (annoyingly…)
This is what you get when you buy a horse that fell into a frozen pond at 3 months old and almost died of hypothermia.
The thing is, Crystal needs some help. Crystal has /something/ going on with her legs that’s made her lame in all 4 legs. This poor mare went from one of the most spirited horses I know to barely able to walk in under 6 months.
The vet can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong without some really damned expensive medical procedures ($2000ish just for testing, x-rays, and a few other things). Her owner, my brother, doesn’t have that kind of money, and neither do I.
We both love Crystal dearly, and we’d like to see her healthy again, but unless we can scrape up the cash, we’re afraid she’s going to have to be put down. She, Penny, and Cloud practically grew up together and are pretty much inseparable. (Fame only joined the herd two years ago, but he’s only a two year old anyway)
I don’t usually ask for help, any of my friends will say that I’m really damn stubborn, but Crystal needs the help more than I need my pride. If anyone can donate anything to go towards Crystal potentially getting the help she needs, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Edit; This took off WAY more than I expected, so I decided to create a GoFundMe. Please, even if you can’t donate much, we’d appreciate every penny!
You guys, I still can’t believe all the support Crystal has gotten so far, and I seriously can’t stress enoughhow incredibly thankfulI am.
However, we’re not quite out of the woods yet! Crystal still is gonna need treatment after she gets her x-rays done, or potentially even further testing if the x-rays don’t find anything. Please guys, if we could keep this post going, it would mean the world to Crystal, myself, the other horses, and especially my brother!
Thank you guys so much, and I mean that from the very core of my soul, I am so, so incredibly thankful! Even if you can’t donate, a reblog does just as good!
Thank you again! I’ll schedule an appointment for Crystal to go to the vet sometime next week and post an update ASAP!
I can’t answer this lovely person’s ask because they’ve been blocked, but! I’ll make a lil response here. :>
And first of all, I don’t think this anon understands what “paying an artist for their work” is. I put a massive amount of my time into my blogs on top of being a full time student with severe mental health problems, and I do it almost entirely for free. It’s not a stretch to ask that I get some support during what’s been one of the hardest mental health periods of my life.
I don’t lie about why I’d like to get paid for what I do. It does go towards my hobbies, most often. However, those hobbies are also a big part of why I haven’t severely injured if not killed myself. They’re how I keep my mental health together.
I’m not demanding that people pay me, either. I’m asking for support because I put a lot of time and effort into what I do– time where I could be getting a job and never looking back. A job would pay more. It would pay a lot more. But I want to be here and I want to write. I’m a full time student and I’m disabled. I can’t do everything, and I definitely wouldn’t be able to write like I do if I had a normal job. Honestly, I’d love if this could be my job.
So, dear anon, the reason why I don’t get a job is because I’m choosing to be here, writing so that you can enjoy it.
Or rather, I would be, if you hadn’t been removed from my blog 🙂
As mentioned previously, I’m having a major cash flow crisis right now and need to rustle up some money. For this reason, I’m back on Tumblr and taking commissions. Here are my rates:
I can’t promise anything but I sometimes go over the wordcount so you might get a little extra free 😉
I write mostly in the DL fandom. I’ll consider other fandoms but it might take a bit longer if I need to familiarise myself with characters I don’t know.
Please no incest or underage requests.
Please send requests via the Ask box and not the chat for now. I’m having tech woes and chat isn’t really working for me at the moment 🙂
First chapter of Girls of Virtue is done!! 😀 It’s a start, and while a lot of things are going to seem very confusing for a while, I promise it’ll all make sense with coming chapters. o3o
Also, this is post number 2,000 on this blog, and I am delighted!!
AND LASTLY, an actual excerpt from Girls of Virtue! The actual first chapter should be done sometime tomorrow (hopefully), but I’m excited and want to share a thing now! o3o
The very short, extremely summarized, spoiler free answer, as I explained to one of my friends, is:
“A girl wakes up in a strange, fog filled world with no memories of who she is. She soon encounters a group of monstrous young women who call themselves the Girls of Virtue, and is pulled into their plans to reach through to our dimension and attack humans. Led by a tyrannical monster of a girl named Judgement, the group follows her twisted orders of who and what is right and wrong.“
There’s a much, much longer explanation for what all goes on, but I’d have to type out quite a bit to have it make sense~ o3o Please feel free to keep sending questions, though!!! They make me really happy!!

“Eh? Do ya need something, sweetheart? Ah! Careful, you wouldn’t wanna trip… You might bleed. Hmm? I just got a scary look on my face? I’m sure you’re just imagining things~”
