changed kemeroot’s island flag from usagyun pixel art to kaveh’s friendship namecard earlier, and i realized i wanted to make more of these when time permits me (i’m already thinking about making one of thoma’s and wriothesley’s because next best husbands also deserve slots in my custom designs!). anyway, i’m happy with the way it turned out.
maybe i’ll change my island tune, too, when i’m feeling a little hardworking with the changes in kemeroot. something sumeru music related or klee’s character demo song, whatever i’m in the mood for.
I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.
He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay €8600 for his mistake.
I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.
And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.
I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.
I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.
All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.
I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.
So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.
Here's my Ko-fi link, thank you for reading

There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.
In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of €300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.
The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of €240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.
They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.
I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.
But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.
So then the government demanded I pay the whole €240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.
If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.
Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.
the recent limited event in genshin reminds me a little bit of honkai's aetherium wars and man how i dislike aetherium wars with a passion (⊙︿⊙✿)
(still finishing aetherium wars over at honkai because i started late and i just want to work on my honkai backlogs (⊙︿⊙✿))
i’m not yet done with the entire trailblaze mission of the recent update but m a n
AVENTURINE ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु
fought him in battle the first time and lost but i am still too emotional to build my characters and to try again ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु aventurine my beloved ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु
i was hoping to save a lot for arlecchino’s banner knowing how botched my luck has been in genshin gacha since fontaine opened but my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about chiori and how much i really saved up for her (before knowing that arle will arrive at 4.5 okay!!) and how much i want to have her because of her dolls so i decided to check my limited banner history and pulled a 10-pull on a whim and oH MY GOD??!!!!?
BBG ACTUALLY CAME HOME WHEN I LEAST EXPECTED TO WIN MY 50/50 ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊
i didn’t expect i’ll actually have it that easy (?) since i got nahida from the last banner (nahida was guaranteed because i lost my 50/50 pulling for navia) BUT SHE’S FINALLY HOME!! ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊ the last time i was this lucky with my pulls was on ayato’s, yelan’s, cyno’s, and alhaitham’s first banners. after that everything just went downhill, i guess (except the guaranteed ones ofc).
her team animation is also so cool, too! (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧ so sleek!
now that i have chiori, my art department is complete (freminet is their youngest member). no elemental reactions, only art ¡¡¡( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! i also realized that all of them are sword users (claymores are swords, after all?) so exploration-wise, this team’s also bad, but i can always work around that for the love of my weird team comps (4ggravate is probably the least weirdest of them all).
i’ve yet to level her up more and build her more because i need some fodder to feed the artifacts i have for her and more adventure books, too, as i’ve spent them a lot recently on nahida and layla (for my shatterbloom team, ofc. anything for kaveh, my love and my light) before i send her to battle, ofc. her split scaling still confuses me, but i’ll learn it well eventually, ofc. it’s too bad that the only weapon i have suitable for her because of it’s defense substat is the traveler’s handy sword. it’s also somehwat fashion impact (i credit jeikage for that one) on her, thankfully.
oh, and besides getting chiori in her banner, i also managed to pull my favourite husband in a single pull while trying to get her (TvT \)
my kaveh is now C1, and though it’s not impressive for all, it’s alright because all i want as a casual genshin enjoyer is to complete my favourite husbands’ constellations (for the four stars ofc, like kaveh and thoma) unless they’re five stars because that’s too pricey already (T^T \)
now i can proceed with the character story quests i’ve left since the highly emotional 4.2 archon quest! wuw.
some of kemeroot’s outdoor baths by the beach featuring different kinds of baths and a couple showers, too! i kind of want to make another outdoor baths area in kemeroot that’s inspired by the visuals of watatsumi island (mermaid set is one of the prettiest furniture sets we have in acnh), but i’ll finish working on cleaning up my island from the influx of flowers last few days because it’s been raining nonstop (almost) in the game.
in the middle of running around kemeroot, i spotted these two chilling at the plaza, and it’s just so precious (TvT )
sumeru will forever be my favourite region (even if the desert exploration was painful), but fontaine has been feeding us well in terms of life truths.
i really like how chevreuse acknowledged people’s opinions on what justice is and should be, then proceeded to put into perspective how justice isn’t always black and white as most people (myself included) thought it to be. this is exchange between veronique and her is probably one of my favourite dialogues in this game so far.
the characters selected in this event event still seemed random to me, but i don’t mind. i still enjoyed the story (and the ayato-chiori banter i didn’t see coming).
sometimes star rail hits a little too hard with the dialogues ⁝(ृ•ˇ‸ˇ•。 ृ )ु⁝
oh, in spite of how i've been feeling and thinking recently, i am actually grateful for may.
last month, i made my resignation at wok official and this month will be my last month with them. my reasons include both personal and career-related ones, though the personal ones weigh so much more. it feels freeing, though quite emotional having to leave people i've made friends with at work, and my students, too. i don't think i'll ever be "good with goodbyes". ( • ᴖ • 。 )
i'm also grateful for getting the chance to watch one of my favourite japanese bands perform live at the start of the month! radwimps just left the country a few days ago, and i'm still on a high thinking about the concert, rewatching the short clips i managed to record while immersing myself to their songs, and playing their asia setlist on repeat in spotify. i remember writing it on my original bucket list that i wanted to see one of my favourite japanese bands in a concert so for it to actually happen feels awesome! \\\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶////
Daily Gratitude
May 2, 2024
Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)
I tag parts of the crew almost every day. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.
All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.
Prompt (if you want): In what way are you grateful for May?
yk part of why i did go back to tumblr was so i could have another platform to talk about the games i obsess with (animal crossing new horizons and genshin impact then) instead of posting about it on my ig stories since not all of my friends are into those kinds of content and as much as i use instagram more than i do facebook, it's not really suited for long posts 😅
so yes, i guess i should really talk more about the current games i play, and it's not a lot.
i'll tag it under farts to keep up with art, fart, heart.
