WE’RE MOVING!

Hey guys so big news: I’m gonna move this art blog to my main channel.

When I started sharing my silly comicstrips I would have never thought there’d be this amazing support of all of you!!

(To be honest I only shared them because I was feeling bad for procrastinating so much with them for no reason at all)

But now that I get this nice feedback and you seem to enjoy my work I suddenly have a one to do them more seriously than before.

So I‘m going to transfer it to my main channel (which I tidied up and renamed for this purpose), that I can finally interact with you better than before.

That‘s why this is gonna be the last new post on this blog.

Over the period of about two weeks, I will post all works from this blog on the new @beebox-illustrations.tumblr.com

I hope you’ll follow me and won‘t be mad about this change.

Also I‘m trying to establish an instagram page @beeboxillustrations if you‘re interested in that :)

So thank you for reading and lots of love <3

I imagine Hermione having a few old muggle friends from her childhood. She helps one of them moving and asks Harry if he‘d help. Naturally Draco tells them that wizards are superior and ends up having to help to back up his point.

moving is hard guys, my back feels broken but we finally got the keys and are moving (all my mainly) stuff into our new flat. change is scary and being a adultish is even scarier but i’m ready for this new period in my life. hope you are all having a wonderful start to my favourite month

Moving out of my parents’ home in a few days | My Thoughts

In just a few days, I’ll be moving out of my parents’ home and into my own apartment! While I’m very excited for this change, as the move-out day inches closer and closer, I’ve been experiencing a weird mix of emotions.

First, the usual emotions: joy, happiness, relief.I look back at the years I spent at my parents’ home and become even more grateful of the fact that I’m moving out on my own terms. Soon, I will become free of their prying eyes, their demanding expectations, and their strict household. (My dad had said, “You think you’re going to be free of us when you move out? Ha!” I know he’s trying to show he’ll still have ‘control’ of me when I move out, but let’s be real… If I’m not under their roof and am financially independent, their source of control is extremely limited, if that. My mom believes I am only moving out for one year and will move back in once I graduate with my Master’s degree. Ha! I plan to never move back in with my parents, if I can help it. Good riddance!)

But also, weirdly, I’ve also experienced “sadness”. I say “sad” in quotes because I know deep down, I’m not actually sad. I know that these are normal feelings, because it’s the start of a new chapter. While I’m sad to leave behind familiarityandcomfort, I am much more eager to leave behind the unforgiving and, imho, unrealistic Asian traditions/expectations held by my parents.

This is what I felt when I left to go to college: I knew it was a good move for me but I was still nervous because it wasn’t familiar: it was a new path I was trekking on. Of course, I’m older and wiser than I was when I was only 18. Which gives me the confidence to know that I’ll definitely be ok for this chapter!

Plus, my relationship with my parents was at its best when we were separated by distance. I’m fairly confident that me moving out will ultimately improve our relationship.

I can breathe.

I’m excited to share that I’ve officially signed an apartment lease and plan to move out of my parents’ home next month! Graduate school is going to be in-person for the next academic year (and my last year!) and I’m so so so excited for this move. Although great for my wallet, living with strict, Asian, narcissistic parents was not the best for my mental health. It’s been 3 years of me living with them after graduating from undergrad, and I am 1000% ready for this.

• No more of my parents demanding where I’m going.
• No more of my parents criticizing my spending habits when I get packages delivered.
• No more of my parents judging when or how often I hang out with my friends.
• No more of my parents trying to control my life.
• No more of my parents trying to pry into my life.
• No more of my parents restricting my freedom or giving me no privacy.

…

I can finally breathe. This truly is the start of a new chapter for me, and I’m so excited. :’)

March 4, 2021

Okay I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I don’t want speak to any of my close friends or family about it. Mostly because I might only feel this way because I’m pregnant and I don’t want to them to get the wrong idea of my boyfriend. But anyway first let me say this, I love him, I love my boyfriend very much. He makes me so happy… but only to a certain extent. I makes me happy sexually, when we joke around and when we’re just happy in general. But when we comes to serious things in our relationship he just shuts down and goes quite. I thought relationships were about the good and the bad? And what makes things worse is that I’m working but he isn’t. And I won’t be working for much longer because I have to have my baby in July so everything will be on him for awhile. We also still haven’t moved out, and I’m still technically homeless. I just wish I had the money to get my own apartment, my own place to stay were my child and I will be comfortable and safe. I’m honestly thinking about starting a go-fund me since my job is barely paying to anything. I have other bills that need to be paid also, so I really think a go fund me would help out a lot. But who would help? I really don’t know but it won’t hurt to try right? But on a lighter note, guess what?! I am now 19 weeks! And I’ll be 20 weeks on Sunday! It just hit me, I can’t believe I’ll actually be someone’s mother soon.. I really hope I’m a good mom. And I hope my baby loves me as much as I love it. I can feel it moving sometimes. It feels like little butterflies in there. I’m checking to find out the gender next week, and just to get a check up because your girl finally got insurance!!! I’m so happy! But that’s all I have for today. Talk to you later!

December 26, 2020

Sometimes I can’t stand my boyfriend. He acts like he’s the one who’s pregnant, he always has attitudes and it just makes me not want to be around him. Maybe I have been with him for to long. I’m literally been at his house since November, it’s time for us to separate for a little while. But Christmas here was okay. His mom got me some Christmas pajamas and he got me a cool book I’ve been wanting for a very long time. The only bad thing about yesterday was that I couldn’t really keep my food down because of the whole pregnancy thing. Speaking of I’m going to go check my the kid next Wednesday. He thinks we’re going for an abortion but nah I’m checking the kid. And I’m getting my health insurance on Monday! God I’m so excited. I’ve been talking to my best friend and my ex best friend about this whole thing and they’ve really been a big help. I appreciate them very much. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them. Oh! Also since I’ll be a mom soon I need to get my shit together! I need to get my credit right, invest in stocks, and work on my other species of income. You have to spend money to make money and scared money gets you nothing. I also plan to move out of my moms soon. I don’t to have a baby at her house, we need our own space. I was thinking about moving in with my boyfriend but he bullshits a lot and he acts like he can’t save his money. I told him that we need to start saving and he told me “no you need to, I will once I get a job.” Like that makes no sense at all to me. If you’re getting free money wouldn’t you want to save it especially if your ultimate goals is to move out by February or March of next year? All he does is spend his money on weed and food. And I get the food I’m partly to blame for that because of the kid but come on you can go a month or two without smoking to save a leave. Then smoke as much as you want once you’re established. Guys are so backwards to me. Sometimes I feel like I could be with him forever and other times I just want to leave him and be alone. But I do love him, he just need to get his priorities straight because they are all over the place kid. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on what’s been happening. Ttyl♡

I.

As I have disappeared from the face of the Earth for a bit, I was faced with many challenges and new oppurtunities over the past six months. Let me give you a rundown of what happened during my hiatus, my sirens…

To start this off, law school has been both a breeze and a hassle at the same time. I found my classes fairly interesting and the professors I had were incredibly helpful throughout the semester. I was able to push through the neverending workload and readings every week, on the exemption of French literature which focused on contemporary Quebec stories, a class I had dropped to pursue another literature course instead. School has been one of the main reasons why I needed the hiatus for I needed to focus on my education and will continue to do so, but at least now I have a greater grasp of how it works so I can manage my time more.

II.

Secondly, there was a the issue of my break up.

I had broken up with my former boyfriend after two years together around the first week of June 2021. It was hard and sudden at first but I was able to move on from it fairly quickly thanks to me choosing solidarity in those hard moments, I was able to truly focus on my emotions, let them overwhelm me when needed and without letting them get past me. I am now in a better place and met some amazing people, my socializing and networking skills have never been better! I’m trying to focus on myself much more and make a better life for myself as well as ensure a good future not only for me, but for my family.

III.

Moreover my sirens, an incident had occurred on the first day of November last year, I was left severely damaged both mentally and physically. However, I will get into that on another post as it is a touchy topic. There is no need for worry though, I am now healed and still healing, I’m only getting stronger and I survived what had happened to me with my head held high knowing that I am my only protector at the end of the day and I prevailed in doing that for myself.

I have also decided to take a break from sugaring as I have become a bit weary from it all. I am going to instead focus more on my studies and nurturing not only myself but my relationships with those around me. I will eventually get back into the sugar bowl but until my mind is ready to dive back in, I will enjoy my vacation. Not to mention there might be a person of interest prying into my heart at this moment… (more on them later!)

IV.

In other news! Thy Diva is moving out, my sirens!

I am more than excited to share the news with all of you! This was a sudden decision as well as a hard one but I simply reached my ticking point living in my house. Things have become too toxic for my mental health and I cannot for the life of me spend another year in this house. I have spent six years here and the conditions gradually worsened as each year passed. I am going to go through it after this move, I am well aware of that, but I am ready to close this book and start a new chapter in my life. I have found someone to live with for the time being as we both plan on getting an apartment together in the summer months. I will keep you all updated as I continue to prepare myself for this huge shift in my life.

V.

I do hope you enjoyed our little catchup, I missed this place and I am ready to create and post some more content for you! If you have any suggestions for future posts, feel free to comment or leave an ask, I will be sure to take a look at it!

Have a blessed week, my sirens, for we all deserve to rejoice and have brightness in this mundane reality! See you soon… and remember: Nothing less, only more.

Gosh, moving out of your abusive parents house in secret is exhausting …

I’m 23 btw.. It’s sad that as an adult that is engaged I’m having to run away from home because my parent wont let me leave. I love the space and location but it’s so unhealthy for me to stay in this abusive situation, I feel so blessed to have met my fiance, they gave me a chance to learn that I don’t deserve to be abused and the friends we have made give me the support I need to be able to do something like this. Hello tiny vegan commune hear I come.

If anyone has questions feel free to ask but I may or may not answer depending on what I feel comfortable sharing, Stay tuned for any updates.

I think i mentioned once or twice here that whenever i have a free day, i call my dad.

I used to have the same convo with him when we lived in the same house:

Him: how are you today?

Me: good, you?

Him: good

This was almost daily. A 5seconds convo.

However, once i moved out, he complained once that i call him only once a week so now i call him 3-4 times a week, when i don’t work.

As a result, i got to know my dad quite well. I was taught to be afraid of him (isn’t my mother amazing?*sarcastic*). The man never raised his voice at me and i called him at bad times several times. (At work, waking him up after he didn’t sleep more than 4-5 hours in 2 days, while he was driving etc) He always asks how i am and if something happened when i call. I expected him to lose it at least once for how often i call but i think he enjoys being called.

I was thinking why this change but i think it’s because we start to get to know each other as people rather than relatives. I have to tell him what I’m doing and what i bought for myself recently because he isn’t around to see or notice what i do. He has to do the same.

NGL, my dad is quite the chill dude. Occasionally he asks me if there’s any dude i fancy and by the next time he asks me this question, he forgets the name of the same dude i mentioned 3-4 times before.

I think this is also why many grandkid-grandparent relationships are great. You get to know those people as something else than a guardian.

Moving Situation - Update

For simplicity’s sake, I’ll refer to them as Friend A (Ey) and Friend B (Vi).

I just asked my friend, Ey, again for an update on the whole landlord thing, but it’s still the same answer. I probably won’t be asking him again; I can’t keep getting anxious about whether or not there will ever be any news on that and it’s been making me feel that I’m just bearing things for no reason at all. If he’s got news for me, then it’ll come, if not then oh well… Another friend of mine, Vi, has been asking me every now and then to keep him posted on how things with Ey are working out and in light of recent events they had offered to let me stay with them in the event that I don’t find anyone else. He’s going to be roommates with a friend of his once summer rolls in, so I’d have to wait even longer… Unlike Ey, however, I would need to be prepared more than I currently am and would have to save up money in advance to help out with the rent (in case things don’t work out when I get there and I’m not able to get a job). I haven’t checked how much it would cost to fly to Vi’s place instead, so I cant give an estimate on that possible turn of events yet.

Health

Commissions, Drawings, and Patreon

I’m still working on these whenever I can, though I’ve been a bit slower since I’m trying to get back into drawing and it hasn’t exactly sunken back in. At least, that’s my opinion (always judging myself harshly, haha…). If you are someone who’s currently on my waiting list, please refer to the following commission list. While I’m working with the current backlog, I’ll be keeping their names on the list and marking them as finished once they’re done. The growth drive rewards aren’t listed since they aren’t commissions, but I’m keeping tabs on those as well. If you want to help me save up some more or help me buy something for myself in the upcoming holidays next month, feel free to message me. However, please keep in mind that by reserving a spot in advance you’ll have to wait for me to finish all the current ones.

I really need to get myself out of this funk and finish all the drawings I’ve been wanting to post. I’ll probably try to change my coloring or drawing techniques a bit, though maybe I should just focus mostly on sketches. If I do get anything done, I’ll be sure to post it.

As for Patreon, I still have to find the time to sit down and organize it properly. I mean, I had already done tier prices and whatnot, but that was half a year ago, so I’ll be redoing em all and making sure they don’t mess up my workload and have appropriate rewards. On the bright side, I was able to solve the whole “how to have muscle and fat without upsetting anyone or having to make a second patreon” dilemma, thanks to a friend’s tips regarding uploads on there.

I’ll be sharing a link once it’s up and ready.

Health

I was sick pretty badly last month and a few days/about a week or so later I started feeling better. Of course, that didn’t last long and I started to feel sick again this month. I went to the hospital on Thursday and the doctor said I have gastritis and prescribed me some pills to see if that would help. I started taking them yesterday, so I can’t say for sure whether they’re actually working or not. Hoping to see some results in the next few days, if not, I’ll probably have to go to a gastroenterologist.

Life/Moving Out

I haven’t been able to move out yet. I’m still waiting to hear more news from my friend. The last message I got from him in regards to that was on October 3rd and he told me he’d talk to the landlord about it once they’d come to pick up the rent money. I’m not sure when that is though, probably near the end of this month? I suppose I’ll remain anxiously awaiting another answer…

Commissions and future works

Thanks to the above, commissions and other drawings had been halted completely. I will be trying to get these done as soon as I can. As always, I thank you guys for your patience, even though I don’t feel like I deserve it most of the time. Also, I have been contemplating whether to temporarily close up my commissions or not while I finish up the current ones, since a friend of mine suggested it a few times. As much as I need the money, it would probably help me focus a bit.

Also, making a Patreon of my own would surely help if there’s enough interest, though that’s been in the back burner for quite some time… I still can’t decide how I’ll be handling it, nor what content I would provide. It’s pretty problematic for me since I love to draw both muscles and chubs, and despite there being a small margin of other users that also loves both sides, I don’t want to force anyone to see or be paying for something they didn’t want. I doubt the site has an option that would remedy this situation, besides making two separate Patreons. If it came to that though, I’m not sure how feasible it would be.

Hey guys, just thought I’d make an update since it’s been a while.
I’ve been sick since last week (stomach problems, as far as I know) and have been trying to take it easy and rest in hopes that I would feel better soon, but tbh I’m not really sure if that’s even working out anymore. I’ll be going to the doctor today, if possible, to see if there’s anything else involved

Thanks to being sick, that had halted any progress on commissions, but now that I’m (still atm) in a sort of middle ground, I can try to work on them again. I will be messaging the current commissioners on the list that I had started work on as soon as I have something done. I hope you guys can understand and I’m thankful for how patient you’ve always been with me.

As for moving out, it seems my friend hasn’t gotten an answer from his current landlord yet and that worries me… I might have to start asking around and see if any other friends are able to give me a place to stay, in case the landlord’s answer ends up being no.

If anything new turns up, I’ll be sure to let you guys know.

A friend suggested I make an update post last week, but I decided to wait a bit in case I got some more news from the one I’ll be moving in with (which I did). His boyfriend got a promotion, so they had to move to another state; they already have an apartment and shipping address available. But he wants to make sure that his current landlord is alright with me being there before I move over, as to avoid any problems with them. He told me to probably expect, at best, 3 months of me being able to stay with them if the landlord agrees (or hopefully more, depending on whether they care about such things or not). I’ll be sure to edit this post when I hear any news about it (or just make a new one, depending on the site I’m posting at).

My friend’s dad was able to take me to the DMV on Friday to finish getting my ID (I had gone with the jerk on Monday two weeks ago, but the ID system was on the fritz and after all the paper work and waiting in line, I was told to come back later during the week. I was unable to and so, since nobody was available to take me there), which I’m glad was a faster process than my last visit due to having all the paper work done.

My family’s still being as manipulative as ever, trying to get me to do whatever they want and not even splitting up the chores evenly or neglecting to acknowledge it when I complain. About two weeks ago, I was the only one washing everyone’s laundry for 5-6 days in a row and that pile just kept getting bigger everyday (mostly thanks to my bro, since he has this stupid rule in regards to his clothes: anything that falls on the floor [even if just for a few seconds] is considered dirty and has to be washed again…) Sometimes I’m even trying to multitask these chores (ie. Laundry, cooking, and washing dishes), yet they still have the nerve to interrupt me when I’m in the middle of all that or even taking a break. Even then, I’m usually using said breaks to time things and may be nagged that I -have- to stay present wherever said chores are being done, depending on what they are (this usually applies to cooking, though they have been a bit lax about it lately; also, my room is literally next to the kitchen, so I’m not sure what their deal is).

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far, whether it was by getting a commission or simply donating, I’ve earned a total of $495 for the plane ticket. I have yet to pick a flight, because I need to be sure if anyone I know would even be available to drive me to the airport on the date and time of said flight. I’ll be looking at some possible flight schedules that are well within that budget range and then ask around.

Any commissions I am able to squeeze in now will be strictly for shipping stuff, if possible. After getting my ID, my shipping/food funds have gone down to $141. I have yet to be able to visit the pawn shop again and am still hoping that what I plan to sell on my next trip helps with the funds I need to be able to send what belongings I intended to keep, because otherwise I may even have to leave some of those behind. As it is, it probably wouldn’t be enough to send a box (unless it’s super-light); according to the USPS and UPS websites that is (will probably just go to the post office and get that checked, just in case, because there might be the slightest chance that their online calculator pricing might be a bit off). The boxes themselves seem to be cheap enough (at Office Max/Depot; dunno of a cheaper place), but the bubble wrap and/or packaging peanuts seemed pretty expensive. I’ll have to check again if they’ve got them cheaper elsewhere or in smaller quantities.

As for the current commissions, I have been trying to squeeze any time available to them and trying to finish personal drawings in between when I’m not emotionally exhausted. I’m thankful that you guys are being really patient with me and I’m hoping that when I’m not bound to this horrible place anymore I’ll be able to pick up the pace at some point.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that my commissions are still open! I’ve been working on a few new drawings so you guys can have an accurate and updated look at what each option would look like; I will be posting them as they’re finished.

For a list of prices, be sure to click the following link.
If there’s anything you want to know, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Also, in case I haven’t mentioned it, I’ve made a list of all my current commissioners that will be periodically updated on my Google Drive. I decided to do this since sometimes I might forget to update said lists when I post em individually on each site, plus this way I can edit it easily no matter where I am. You’ll find a link to it in my commission prices page, linked above.

Updates

RL: Getting harder to hang in there

My family and bro’s friend are still bugging me constantly, with the former being really condescending and aggressive lately. They’re also putting words in my mouth and assuming I’m not doing or planning anything with my life, being completely unsupportive about the things I like, and trying to force me to do what they want, among other things.

Growth Drive is over

The double growth drive is officially over. Week 3 donations only reached $8 (16lbs) and since the minimum to keep it going wasn’t reached, there won’t be a drawing for Week 3. All donators will be contacted via the email they provided when they filled out the poll and will be asked what they’d like to have drawn in regards to the donation tier they reached.

Airplane Ticket and Shipping/Eating Money

Over the last month, my earnings from commissions (plus the few growth drive donations and a shirt or two that got sold) for the plane ticket have been going up, slowly, but surely. While my remaining on-hand money hasn’t gone up much compared to last time. As for the totals, they’re currently as follows:

• For Ticket: $268
  
• For Shipping/Food: $174

If you can’t grab a commission, please reblog and spread the word! I’d really appreciate it and thanks for sticking around with me guys.

There’s two days left until the results for Week 1 of this growth drive! I’m currently working with the concepts I have for the bonus human duo, but unfortunately that milestone hasn’t been reached yet…

To reach said milestone and permanently unlock humans for the remainder of the drive, a cumulative total of $100 must be donated. Only $5 have been donated so far, so we still have a long way to go to reach it. Also, due to lack of interest, I’ll be changing that milestone’s requirement from “during a single week” to “throughout the whole drive period”. In other words, this will give people who have been holding out and waiting for them to be unlocked the chance to help make it happen.

For more details, please visit the following post.

Finally put my ivy up and my room is basically 99% done I’m so happy! I have to put up some dolls and one other print but that’s it yay
