I am holding emergency commissions, as we have very little time to take her in for surgery! Please help in any way you can! If you can donate, buy commissions, or at least reblog and/or signal boost it will help A LOT.

COMISSION PRICES: 

  • $10.00 USD - Fully colored chibi OR full body outline character of choice.
  • $15.00 USD - Full body, flat color character of choice.
  • $18.00+ USD  - Full body, full color/shading character of choice.

EMERGENCY, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST OR HELP

I need help URGENTLY. Our pet snake just swallowed a hand towel, and we don’t know what to do. 

There are no vets open here, and none that know how to handle snakes. 

Our snake’s stomach is really hard, and she’s burning hot. 

Please, please help us. She’s not big enough to just digest it, and she won’t throw up.

Please help us in any way you can! Please PLEASE reblog this!

Hex: If I may ask, is somepony actually calling you useless or do you have some sort of pathetic defeatist attitude?

Ya see, when somepony’s down on themselves like Gray is, there’s somethin’ always behind it. In cases like him, it’s way easy to see he ain’t very happy with himself. Ya obviously can tell that. 

So I ain’t lettin’ him see this question, cuz that little comment of yers at the end is not the way ye talk to somepony who’s feelin’ down about themselves. 

The guy ain’t pathetic, and it’s quite rude of ya to tell someone who has issues somethin’ of the sort! He don’t need any more comments like that on his little head. 

Havin’ emotional issues w’ one self ain’t pathetic. Ya shouldn’t go around tellin’ ponies that they are. Ye’ll only make em worse, bub.

Hex: “Time for you to listen…’bub.’” “That way of thinking, that way of living in one’s own sorrows and anxieties…constantly convincing oneself that you are of no use to anypony… that’s very dangerous and toxic thinking. I wasn’t calling Grey Stripe himself ‘pathetic.’” “All that will do is get him nowhere fast. All that will do is permeate into his being, eat him from the inside out…and then he winds up becoming what he fears most: Useless. Then he’ll never have the drive to earn his Cutie Mark.”  “This constant coddling you’re doing…will not help one day. You need to get him on his hooves and kick his flank in gear. You need to coach him out of his despair, put him on track. Tell him to compliment himself and believe it. Remind him of what he’s good at, and tell him to remind himself, to run it through his mind constantly. The singing, the cooking… all that. Tell him to search for something; become curious, adventurous. Maybe he’ll find something worthwhile in his search.” “Otherwise, what will happen to him will become a pathetic site to behold, because of his pathetic way of thinking.” “As his ‘best bud,’ I figured you’d know this already…”

Well, sorry I misconstrued yer words, but it’s hard NOT to when ya talk the way you do, and don’t explain yerself until later. 

And well, let me tell ya something else.

Yer acting like someone’s picking a fight with ya. Chiiiill. Stop actin’ like yer tryin’ to sound all tuff n’ stuff. Ya don’t need to put up yer defenses.

And another’ thing, you are jumpin’ into conclusions faster than a rodeo pony! cuddling him? Not let ‘im find his talents? Sorry f’ I come off as rude, but you have NO idea how we live, n’ what goes on in our daily lives. 

I’m his freaking PRODUCER for his music. M’ the one who’s been training ‘im, helpin’ him out, and puttin’ his music out there! M’ the one who helps ‘im get his stuff for his art, n’ the one who buys ‘im cooking books. I WANT him to find his talent, n’ I’m always helpin’ him out with whatever he needs to find it. 

As his best bud, s’ my job t’ give him all m’ support, and reassure ‘im when he feels his talents ain’t good ‘nuff. I make sure his drive never dies out. 

The lil fella needs lots of encouragement, or else he’ll never put ‘imself out there n’ try new things. He’s got issues to deal with. So what I do? Support ‘im, make him feel like he’s got someone to rely on, n’ make sure he doesn’t put ‘imself down. 

Is that baby-in someone? Hell no! That’s called a support network! Everyone needs that! 

I kno’ n’ some cases, that makes things worse, but that’s NOT how everypony works! Some ponies need it, some don’t. Gray’s in the category that needs it. And I know it cuz he’s come a LONG way every since I started doin’ this for him! Things he could never do on his own, he now does like it’s nothin! Things he would never try, no matter how much he wanted ta, now he does with heart! Why? Cuz I made sure to give ‘im enough shoves in t’ right direction! 

And THAT’S why I ain’t lettin’ him see things that he too could see as a put down. He don’t need it. He’s got problems as it is. What he needs s’ support and pushes n’ the right direction so he can get on his own hooves and go off ‘n his own. I ain’t bein’ toxic like ye claim I am. 

I know what m’ doing. I live with the guy. He matters t’ world t’ me.

((Tho for the anon, hello! I DID get the name (subconsciously, as I didn't remember where I got the name from until like... a year after I made it) but no, he is not based on Warrior’s Graystripe c: I haven’t read those books since middle school, and I forgot about that lovely cat ;A; (I’m in college now sooo...memory fail) And Graystripe is a boy! Tho it’s a running joke now that he gets confused for a female ahaha... :’) And thank you so much for that comment! ))
