I’m still around, and I will be back to doing stuff soon, I hope. The last couple months I’ve been putting a lot of time and energy into getting my twitch stream going, only to have the whole thing derailed because my son needs me. On November 11, he was in a middle of the night car wreck, and his dominant shoulder was badly dislocated, leaving him unable to do a whole lot for himself for an absolute minimum of six weeks. My husband and I have been spending a lot of time over at his apartment, keeping his spirits up and helping him out. Which explains where I’ve been. – and for that matter, where I will be for the next three weeks-ish. As soon as I can, I will be getting back to full-time streaming on my twitch channel, https://www.twitch.tv/illusorythrall, as well as working in some time on my blogged challenges here. If you’ve been observant, you’ve noticed that my header graphic has changed, as well as my avatar on my socials. Shortly before the accident, my son had finally finished my signature graphic, and I am high-key in love with it.

The character on my shoulder is based on my first tattoo, and the plumbob I’m holding is based on my second. The puppy paw on the shirt is from a tattoo I had done for a rescue animal charity drive, and I love it. I would link my son’s socials so anyone interested in similar art for them could contact him, but I will wait until he is actually able to draw again. (With the shoulder injury, he can’t even think of picking up a pencil or stylus, unfortunately!)

On other notes, I have unearthed my Twitter account, https://twitter.com/IllusoryThrall and I post whenever I have time to go live on twitch there. It’s also linked in to this blog, and I’m going to try to remember to post there more often. The other way to get in contact with me, and/or see what’s going on is my discord. https://discord.gg/XweHZmQKVX – I’m still in the process of setting it up, but please feel free to join and say hi! (And let me know if the link doesn’t work. I think it should, but I’m not 100% on that.) I will also start posting updates to my challenge rules on that discord, and will respond to questions there. Obviously, things will probably not get really going until this whole car accident injury thing goes away and son is able to get back to all the things he loves doing. I’m hoping it’ll be around the beginning of January that I will be able to start posting regularly again, but I will definitely announce on twitter, here, and discord when my twitter schedule re-starts and I can start posting here again, too.

Hope this note finds everyone else doing well, and please be patient with me, I will be coming back, but family most definitely comes first for me!
