4 months with Dr. Aneesh Gupta in PA!

(CONTENT WARNING: image #4 is on the table!!!)

1-2 is current, 3 is 1 week p/o, 4 is on the table. :)

I made a post a month or two ago, but i realized i didn't include Dr. Guptas name in the title so it didn't show up, whoops!

Overall SO happy and satisfied with everything: the communication, the dedication to helping woth every roadbump throughout the pre-surgery process, the prompt addressing of every concern even quicker than I expected (I texted him at 10:30pm one night expecting a response in the morning and he responded within thw hour!!) and well... the results are amazing.

can NOT recommend him enough for any patient willing to self-pay! (sadly he doesn't accept insurance but my ins complications actually made this the right choice :') haha)

My little plum was such a tiny baby then grew rapidly...

I've posted her before, I know, but after she got spayed (one month ago today!) she had another growth spurt!

It's so crazy to me because she was so little that she was 15 months old when she was big enough to spay but now she's so tall 😭

I wish DNA tests for cats could be more accurate, I have some suspiscions of some traits but I can't be sure.

the elixir color is never consistent and it amuses me

my personal headcanon as. someone a little TOO obsessed with trying to worldbuild mint eye is that there is a whole lab and like different variants for different purposes (thus explaining the fact that it does literally whatever the plot wants it to lol) but also the idea of Rika just like throwing something together until its bluish enough then going "whatever. good enough." is amusing to me.

for MM's 10yr anniversary... I redesigned Yoosung with the power of MMD, 3d Custom Girl, Shining Nikki + my headcanons

figured I would share this because although this is a kind of personal project to me as someone who has been on and off writing him for 10 years, I'm still pretty proud of it hehe.

Immediately you all probably noticed that a LOT of this design looks like it could very easily be a masc Rika if you swapped the eye color from purple to green, and I'm here to say that's definitely intentional!

I'm currently in a Mysmes RP campaign where I play a version of Yoosung that learned WAY too much way too quickly, and a product of his grief was a very unhealthy form of projection :) In an absence of an MC his motivation to get better solely comes from the thought that if Rika could have seen him now she'd be disappointed in him, so without her guidance he sort of tried to mimic her! In a way it's a premise for a headcanon bad end hehe.

Character wise I'd say nowadays Jumin or Jaehee would probably be my favorite overall, but Yoosung will always hold a special place in my heart for when the game first came out and I was 14 and going through everything I did back then, take this as a sort of labor of love and kind of homage to both the game and light 2000's tuscan fashion inspiration!

Outside of the games mentioned in the title, credit to tda and jjinomu for the body and face bases, mijumarunr1 for the eye texture, as well as rain-break, bowlofspicyramen, gummy-frog, LuminousBiz, and smol-hooman for ripping all these assets to MMD! I also used whyareyouthatsad's pose for the render. :9

P.S.: I don't use Reddit very often, eeek! I wasn't sure whether to flair this as fanart or fanfiction since it is VERY headcanon based, hope this is alright!

1.5 months post op, obligatory "how am I looking?" post

surgery date was April 21st, DI with no nipple graft, no drains used.

I notice there's a slight unevenness, but I've kinda just been patient with it as it could likely be swelling.

also not sure if it's worth mentioning but! I do believe I had Tuberous Breasts preop which is a condition where the tissue doesn't develop properly during puberty and the stuff that's there ends up saggy and tubelike. didn't attach a preop photo for comfort reasons, but they looked a LOT like the first photo on the wikipedia page for the condition 😭 lmao)

Nothing looks (or feels!) too off to me, though I just want to triple check and make sure there isn't anything that looks amiss that I'm maybe not noticing or bringing up, haha
