It's raining!!! Yesssss, it's such a relief! I wasn't sure it'd happen until I finally heard it start coming down but there it is. Here's hoping it'll cool things down for a while. Thank you all for your concern while the fires were going on! Really, I know I rarely reply to comments but I DO read all of them! I appreciate all of them, I just wanted to let you all know that, haha. Not just about the fire but on all the things I upload in general. I read them all!

Things have calmed down over here quite a bit, with the fires now 89% and 63% contained, and it seems like I'm out of the danger zone for now, at least. I'm still a little on edge because a new fire could pop up at any time, but if we can just make it to Saturday when it's supposed to rain I'll feel a lot better. In the meantime, me and mine are all okay, haha.

So you might have heard about the fires going on in SoCal right now, and I am entlrely too close to one of them! D: I'm just outside the current evac zone, but that could easily change depending on how the wind and the fight against the fire goes. It's just hard to say what's going to happen for the next few days or weeks, the fire is burning almost out of control and things can change so fast. I'm feeling stressed out and unfocused as you can probably guess... I might just hold off on posting art for a while since my brain feels all discombobulated right now. I'll try to keep people updated though. Edit - 1-13-2025, 11pm: The evac zone has shrunk and the fire slowly seems to be getting under control, so things are a little less intense here for now. Still a bit on edge since who knows what could happen, but still!
