TW, mentions of pet death Hey guys. A bit more serious today. So about a month ago, not even, I posted this project https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1376433511/ I briefly mentioned one of my rats dying to cancer. I didn’t want to go too far into it. Her name was Olive. She had two tumors, one in her brain. I came back from vacation in August to find her really unwell, but I tried to care for her and hoped she would be okay. She was okay until we had to put her down two weeks later, when I posted the project. It was so hard to watch her deteriorate. After she was gone I promised I would take extra good care of her sister Pippin. And I did. Last week or so we noticed she had a small tumor too. We figured she’d be okay for a while, since it wasn’t in her head and she acted fine. This morning I had a thought, I’d make a drawing of the two of them once they both pass. Not sure where it came from. But I forgot about it and went on with my day. I didn’t think I’d find myself making this project for a long time. I got dismissed from school earlier. We put Pip down, less than a month after her sister. Turns out she did have one in her brain, one that we couldn’t see. Her condition got so much worse overnight. It was so terrifying seeing her like that. It was so much faster than I expected. Safe to say my mascara is ruined. So…yeah. This isn’t a hiatus announcement. If anything, I’ll be active more to take my mind off of the empty corner in my room. This is probably really all over the place and poorly written, sorry I know it’s not that deep, it hit way harder than I thought it would Update: I’m ok, I wrote this when I was really upset. I still am, but I’ll be fine
