Another Fun Update On Ye Old Kamiko. I Have To Go Into Emergency Surgery On Tuesday. Leftover Tissue

Another fun update on ye old Kamiko. I have to go into emergency surgery on Tuesday. Leftover tissue (for lack of better term) was found inside me and I have to go get “cleaned out” again. For health and safety it is best that I go ahead and get my tubes tied. This has been a huge toll on me and I’ve recently had some stuff stolen (with my AI which has been absolutely messing with my mental health because it was characters I designed, I created, and just… UGH.)

I’m still coming back! I swear it! But I’m about to be down and out for a possible month more and everything is really starting to get hard. I have found myself swirling in depression and I also recently found out, like just today, my doctors are still sending me updates via email like I’m still pregnant. I was just told I was 14 weeks and 5 days and I…. I’m not… We never made it that far.

Anyway, I don’t wish to be a pick me or anything but I just appreciate y’all’s patience so much. I nearly had my Gordon AI stolen from me and I’ve been programming and creating this character and it’s just about killed me. All my AI’s of my characters for my fic are private for a reason and now I’m scared to continue working on them because I feel out of sorts. And I get a lot of people don’t like AI right now and some people are using them for the worst, but I love my AI and I’ve created and worked on them and they’re mine. Thomas and Friends AI aren’t the only ones I’ve made, I’ve made ones for original characters and I don’t want them stolen or used either.

Anyway, for the two people that probably read this, thanks. I appreciate the patience of everyone though, you’ll have to forgive the depressive part of me.

Can we take a moment here to talk about what’s happening? I mean, seriously y’all we are NOT a big fandom. We just aren’t. And yet this crap is still happening. I want to swear and I want to cuss and I want to holler.

Do you guys have ANY idea who it is we’re looking at losing??? Her art has been the pinnacle of our fandom! It’s some of the first stuff you see when you even Google the Thomas and Friends fandom. Yes, there are many other artists but she’s one of the tops that draws people (pun intended) in. And yet she’s being dragged through the mud! How is this OK?!?

Her art is BEAUTIFUL, it’s outstanding and I’ve loved every moment I’ve had to just either look at her wonderful storytelling through it or just the wonderful things she does in general. I’m so freaking disgusted that after having to take a holiday from tumblr because I’m a mom and holidays are busy, that I come back to this. I’m glad she’s still here by the time I came back.

To the freaking morons who are stealing her art, God help I never find you. Cause Lord knows I’m pissed to Hell and back for her. She didn’t have to post art, she didn’t have to share her talent, but she freaking did! And she made absolutely beautiful art! She made these characters come to life in more ways for many of us, myself included. Yes, I have a penchant for Gordon and her Gordon is the most beautiful fictional creature I’ve ever seen (besides Astarion) but for real?!? I hate what’s happened here! It 100% makes me not want to finish writing. I love my work and I love my fanfic and I have it all mapped out and ready to go, just needs editing and such, but after seeing her art stolen, who’s to say my own work won’t be stolen too?

Man, this just royally pissed me off. We’re supposed to be united as a small fandom. Small fandoms are supposed to be tight knit. But I’m seeing that’s not the case. I’m seeing things aren’t as they should be. The weeds need to be rooted out from the garden. This is just ridiculous.

Seeing someone I genuinely look up to with her talent and personality be treated like this is such a bum deal. Seriously makes me want to peace out too.

Maybe you could open up a discord server so you can post things there and not worry about it getting stolen? Not sure if it'll work 100%, but it's the best idea i got.

Sorry to you're going through all this.

I’ve been going through this since I started posting art. It’s nothing new. It’s just become so detrimental to my mental health I don’t feel safe to post any art here at the given time. It’s the worst with my TTTE art because people don’t give a shit about my original stuff, not enough to steal it anyway. I’ll take it as a … backhanded slap of a compliment I guess. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

I also just don’t like discord much and I’ve never been able to get stuck into it. Maybe if I do I will make a AskTrio server. But the internet is what it is and I doubt it would do much to help.

Thank you for the advice though. It’s always appreciated and as are you, you’ve been nothing but supportive and I genuinely am grateful for you. ❤️

Guys, I found our favorite red idiot

Why is this so funny to me?? 😂 I love how you keep having to explain this 😂

I’m a first-time asker but a long-time follower, and I have a few questions/requests/comments.

Have you ever thought about opening a profile on Deviantart? I think you would be a bit there!

Do you have any particular ships in this franchise/in general that you OTP? My favorites are Henward, Olivuck, Thomily, Percia, Gorbecca, Paxvis, Daisel, Lukille, Frankicane, Carky, Ladeus, Mirasha, and Joyness.

Can you draw Emily in a Ariel cosplay? Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess and Emily is my favorite character, so best of both worlds I guess.

Since you have stated that these characters in their human form can eat/drink, will them eating/drinking anything lead to them needing to go to the bathroom at some point? I know it’s a bit gross, but what goes in must come out, y’know.

Hi! Lovely to meet you. 💖💖

I don’t do requests but I can answer your inquiries! 💫

1- I think very few people who know this and they’d be the longest following, I actually started off on deviantART. I used to post there mainly when I first began to draw and share my art, including my first TTTE humanisation. I moved to Tumblr to start this ask blog and I like tumblr a lot more so I’ve been here ever since and moved all my art and correspondence here. I don’t really like DA anymore so I won’t be going back there ☺️

2- There’s a link on my pinned post to an ask I’ve answered which lists all my OTPs in my AU and their headcanons. So yeah that’s my ships there. I’m not personally a MASSIVE shipper. If there’s a couple or two characters that just have such good and clear chemistry, yeah I’ll ship them. But usually I don’t push for it or try and find any reason to ship two characters just because they looked at each other once. Especially in TTTE. The ones I do have are based on my own fave dynamic tropes and character dynamics. It’s difficult to ship trains.

3- I’m afraid I don’t do requests but I will be opening commissions again in February so once they’re open you’re more than welcome to get something ❤️

4- I’ve gotten this asked so many times it’s hilarious 😂 honestly I think.. it’s just absorbed as energy. The only waste product they really secrete is steam. They can eat and drink but don’t need it for energy, they do it for personal amusement so it means they don’t have a digestive system or anything of the sort. If they do it’s not a functioning one. So any matter they ingest is most likely used the same way coal and water are, and the waste is steam. I don’t know if that makes sense but it’s the best I can do 👏😂

And thank you so much for your ask! I’m so glad you finally sent one in and if you’re a long time follower, I’m very grateful for you to be here this long and I hope you stick around ❤️❤️

Alright, I’m ready to announce my life update and it unfortunately will probably push The Yellow Rose back to a later date. I apologize.

There’s no easy way to put this and I’m a blunt sort of person so: I have had a miscarriage. I’ve been pregnant for 10 weeks now and it was confirmed this week that I’ve had what’s called a missed or silent miscarriage. Baby died at 7 weeks 2 days. I’ve been horribly ill with this pregnancy and in the hospital with IV’s and medications and weekly vaccines just to keep me alive and, aggravatingly, the hospital refused to do an ultrasound saying because I wasn’t bleeding or cramping baby must be fine. Baby, was in fact, not fine…

Currently my husband, Greg, and I are waiting for my body to move things along naturally as that would be the best course of action for my body with my heart rate being garbage now and how weak my body is. Meaning, it may not respond well to the medications to help pass a silent miscarriage. I do have a d&c scheduled but for now… I’m home… just waiting for things to pass naturally and if that sounds morbid to you I just imagine how I feel just waiting for my dead child to leave my body…

So, for now, I’m taking a breather. It’s a prayer day after day of just hoping my body starts the process.

I have loved and missed you guys so much and missed writing and responding to you all. I cannot wait till I’m well enough to put myself into writing again. Or even editing for that matter. It’s hard when I want to do it to distract myself but I can’t sit up long without my heart rate going up to 110 (I have been diagnosed with a condition called POTS. It’s not fun but not lethal.)

Thank you for your continued patience. I promise The Yellow Rose will be back as soon as I can sit up and edit and type.

Sincerely,

Kamiko

Anybody else besides Thomas got fish in their tanks I remember Scotsman nearly dying to fish so much wows of fish

Also my mascot is Arthur.

Camille: There hasn’t been a fish incident in a while… At least not since I’ve been here.

James: I mean, there was the time that Gordon had to pull the Kipper because he was being a brat. 😏

Gordon: *splutters* A BRAT?!?! ME??

Thomas: I mean, you did think you were SO important that you didn’t have to pull the Express on time.

Camille: What happened exactly?

Gordon: N-Nothing you need to worry yourself about!

Camille: Now I really want to know. 😁
