Hiya! First of all, merry christmas! I hope it'll be nice for alot of us ^w^ Second of all, I have an update on the big move!

Temporary inactivity notice
I'll be visiting my new home and exploring inside it for the first time on the 6th of january, and have only got a few days to move there, so I just thought I'd give you guys a little heads up that I'm going to be extra extra busy during then, especially starting by the 6th and will have a temporary inactivity from most online places until I've finally moved in. I still don't have alot of money and I've been very cautious with it, so I didn't get myself much for christmas this year, just some chocolates and a cute little dinosaur that's all, nice wee things but nothing expensive ofcourse. I need to keep what I've got for the house and everything, so I don't want to be spending much this year sorry. Kinda need to escape from a rough area so I'll need to see if I can afford my new home and things for it such as new cooker and flooring. if you'd like to help me save then please feel free to support me on ko-fi it would mean alot <:3 /nf https://ko-fi.com/cutevixen If you're not able to then I'd appreciate you sharing this, thank you for your support 💛

VRChat group event
It's been a crazy year this year so hopefully this christmas and new year I'll get to have fun and chillax.. ÚwÙ Btw I have a vrchat group just for friends and fans only, The Fluffy Gang has a new year celebration event that's starting soon so we're gonna do a new year countdown for every participant's timezones ^w^ So if we've met before then you'll probably get to join ^-^ just make sure to follow all the rules and you're good! :3 We will also be hanging out together and maybe even watching videos together and playing around with what the event world has to offer, so feel free to come join us if you're a member, might be a nice way to make new friends ^-^

How was my christmas? :3
Since it is christmas day I thought I'd share how things are today and I will say it is very nice and pleasant ^-^ I know I wasn't expecting much but my carer was very kind and surprised me with a really nice bag of gifts ^w^ She also dropped me off at the salvation army and they were also very kind :3 I acquainted with alot of the people there and we had a good christmas dinner ^-^ What really made me happy is that several of the people told me that I really brightened up their day and that I was really fun, I'm really glad 💛 I hope I can continue making people happy and providing some sort of comfort ^w^ They also gave out gift bags and we all got matching christmas socks lol X3 and each bag had a different gift inside :o how did they know I like perfume XD In general I like smelling nice I'm very clean and shower alot (I hope my new house has a bath!) and I love the smells of all my perfumes but I keep forgetting to wear them! I even forgot today, agh! DX Ah well, I'll remember someday <X3 Anywho, now I'm home and calling my discord pals, and writing this journal as I speak. Might watch some christmas cartoons with my pals or when I have dinner, we'll see! It's been nice for me this year and I hope christmas was nice for all you fluffies too ^-^

Support is appreciated 🦊💖
Anyway I haven't really been asking much for christmas, then again I don't really ask for things much in general as I usually buy myself a gift of my own <:3 I made previous journals about the moving situation of why I need to move (it's pretty important) so please check em out and share them if you can, I need to escape from a rough area and be able to use my own garden

And once again, it would mean alot if you could share my Ko-Fi ofcourse, and SubscribeStar if you're adult
Subscriber exclusive content has had a bit of a delay as alot of my projects have been packed away for the big move, but once I've moved and unpacked everything I'm hoping to upload everything all at once, all the progresses, upcoming projects, and everything, to make up for such. I also hope to offer more goodies in the future if you become a paid member ^-^

Despite all the setbacks I've had, I still try to make life enjoyable at least. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! It's important to always find a reason to smile despite all we've been through
Thank you for the support :3

I'm on other places too! ^-^

Hey so.. I'll start with the important stuff. and don't worry, it's good news! well, kinda.. ^-^;

Important announcement
Well you see, a new house has popped up in one of the places I've been planning on moving to, so I've been told I might get to move there! However..this came up at well..funny timing I should say... ^w^; you see, I'm about to go on another vacation abroad during the winter so I can escape from the cold, and uhh..yeah I paid already ^-^; so I'm kinda low on money right now, but I didn't realise moving was gonna be so soon so paying for the holiday was before I knew about this <:3 I need to save up for my new house along with other things for it like a new hob and oven to cook and bake with (I'm not allowed to take the one I got because it's attached to this house) aswell as carpets, flooring, wallpaper, paint, and other stuff I'll need for a nice new home

I thought I couldn't get any busier but it looks like I'm going to be extra extra busy on packing while being careful what to spend now. This christmas I unfortunately wont be putting up my decorations, or be able to afford treating myself to nice things, but I'm not being a grinch, I still love the holiday! just as long as I'm not alone or forced to spend it with my abusers ofcourse.. ^-^; But I have to do more important stuff right now. Instead of decorating I have to pack up, and instead of buying fun things for christmas I have to buy things I'll need for my new home. as much as I'd love to have the stuff I want too, the things I need are more important than the things I want. Sorry christmas, looks like I'll have to celebrate it differently this year.. ^-^; but at least my nice new house will be almost like a christmas gift to me, only it's probably like the best christmas gift I'll ever have! >w< I just need to be able to afford it all..

Please see here on several reasons why I am needing to move: https://www.deviantart.com/hazelthevixen/journal/Life-Update-Moving-out-health-plushies-outings-1247403305
So for all those kind folk out there, if you like, feel free to help out by supporting me on ko-fi :3 https://ko-fi.com/cutevixen
I also have a subscribestar if you prefer, but grownups only! https://subscribestar.adult/hazel
I am also selling adopts on my toyhouse aswell as one of my closed species on deviantart, however I'd rather if my characters went to loving homes and not for collectors. I'm also too busy to be starting taking any commissions right now as art in general takes me a very long time to do due to the amount of love and effort put into each creation. sorry about that! I'll maybe take commissions after, maybe once I'm not too busy.. ^-^;

My 26th birthday
I was also meant to tell you guys how my 26th birthday was ^-^ It was nice! My carer and I spent the day in the big city were I got to handfeed adorable wild pigeons, had a meal at Pizza Hut where we shared hawaiian pizza, it was great as always ^w^ I also got to add my very own toppings on my ice cream when I went to the ice cream machine :3 lots of fun! I have good memories going to the ice cream machine in pizza hut as a kid X3 I also remember the activity pages, especially when Ice Age 3 came out, I remember seeing that in cinemas ^w^ but this year I got to see the Gabby's Dollhouse movie! :3 I gotta say I never actually seen the show before but the movie was nice and had a lovely meaning: you're never too old to have fun and enjoy being a kid. and they're right! I'm an adult and I still love all my colourful things, playing with toys, and being a kid ^w^ and just like what Toys R Us once told us: never grow up. play on! and that, I will ^-^ I also had birthday cake and we did a birthday song yaay! wish I had someone to share my cake with tho <:3 All my friends had to go and some are online pals. It was a lovely cake but it was big and took a while to finish.. ^-^; Got there eventually tho!

I got all kinds of cool stuff for my birthday! I'd love to share photos but my phone is full >.< dang.. ah well, I can still explain UwU I got 3 flavours of umai bars! aaaa why are they so addicting! XD I think umai bars might be one of my favourite snacks now ^w^ the mascot and designs they have for each flavour is very cute too! the mascot reminds me of Doraemon X3 I also got a giant tanuki plush who's very huggable I love em X3 I have a platinum fox plush of the same kind too! so the pale tanuki and platinum fox be friends hehe >w< did you know that raccoon dogs are related to foxes? they're both part of the vulpini family! ^-^

Speaking of plushies, I also got a cute lurantis plush for my birthday :3 I also got two other cute pokemon toys that's one of the most underrated pokemons! lampent and mothim ^w^ I have vigoroth aswell. these 3 pokemons are well loved in the anime and whatnot but communitywise they are super underrated. also to tell you the truth, I actually don't like chandelure and slaking, they're kinda ugly imo. I also don't like charizard, it's overrated and too much of a showoff. No offense to those who like those 3 I'm just not that all interested in them.. ^-^; But yea, that's why I'm keeping my vigoroth and lampent as they are in the games I play :3 no evolving for them, they're staying cool! ^w^ I feel like they only person who has a vigoroth oc tbh... OvO; here's Cody as one!

I got a Gangle plush from The Amazing Digital Circus! The one where she works as a Spudsy's manager! This was the episode where I felt like I got to know Gangle more and she became my favourite character along with Ragatha ^w^ Episode 4 was surprisingly relatable as a neurodivergent person seeing as we autistic folk often have to mask aswell, so it seems Gangle and I have some things in common!

I also got a really nice gift box that has bathbombs and other neat selfcare goodies ^-^ I also got a nice fancy shower gel foam that's birthday cake scented :3 sweet! Oh and I bought some cola pez to add to my pez dispensers XD Some of the pez dispensers I have is Pikachu (the blue one), Yoshi, Tom and Jerry :3

I got a pokemon glass that came with 2 matching straws! ^-^ I treated myself to a wkd bru X3 (which is pronounced wicked brew lol sounds very witchy) it's a blue wkd with irn bru and it had a cyan and orange neon gradient :3 probably my first cocktail I've ever made as I've made many mocktails before X3 but don't worry, I'm very cautious and make sure I have limits. I prefer to be sensible since I don't wanna embarrass myself or run into danger or anything.. ^-^; It's always good to be on the safe side UwU I'll be fine as long as I'm careful :3

There may be other stuff I got too but I forgor. But I'd like to give a big thank you to all the amazing people who gifted me some amazing fanart for my special day ^w^ I really appreciate all you guys's support! I'll be sure to save and favourite everyone's awesome gifts on each site they share it on :3 If I've missed some places, please let me know and I'll get to it as soon as I can! Just like with all the other cool gifts everyone has given over the years, I will be featuring them as thanks with credit ^-^
I often share fanart on my screensaver on many of my devices, decorate my profiles on sites where it's possible (like sheezy and toyhouse), have em as a profile picture, and feature them in galleries like toyhouse, barq, characterhub, even places like deviantart! I always credit whenever possible ofcourse, so you don't gotta worry about a thing! ^w^ it's my way of showing my gratitude and appreciation so I hope that's okay with all you guys! :3 besides who wouldn't want to see what they gave being well loved? remember to practice gratitude and appreciate all the little things in life ^-^ and not just for thanksgiving either! I'm not american so I don't celebrate it XD besides it's important to be thankful all year round anyway :3

Oh and those pigeons I fed by hand, they were not only so cute, but they were also wild birbs, and even though they were just a little cautious, I'm surprised of how tame they were when I handfed them! they were sweet wee things, I need a whole army of them XD
I was also told that when I get a house, I can either have a bird or a dog but sadly not both, so I'll choose dog since life just isn't the same without a dog by my side y'know? me and Buddy were just like hero and sidekick, we were always hanging out together, playing, exploring, or just chilling, I miss him ⋌‸⋋ oh and I've always wanted a longhaired chihuahua ever since when I was a kid and have a name reserved for them ever since, so who knows, maybe if I'm lucky my new dog might be that ^-^

What I've been up to today
Today I went to the christmas funfair! ^-^ was lots of fun ^w^ I started off by going on the merry go round and then I went on the teacup ride! gosh it was alot faster than other teacup rides I've been on, it was really fun! But it was going so fast that my joy was actually starting to turn into fear because it was that fast.. OvO; I wonder if they made it quicker because I was an adult.. ^-^;; But fast rides scare me and I have basophobia QwQ whew! I was very dizzy coming off.. XwX; The guy who runs the teacups was very nice tho, he helped guide me ÚwÙ

I also had a good hotdog at the food stand that had some tasty onions and bbq sauce :3 yum! I also drank fanta with it and managed to save some for the rest of the day ^-^ I got to play in the funhouse twice! was lots of fun >w< The people there were very nice they kept my bags safe for me cos I got candyfloss :3 It was the softest candyfloss I ever tried! >w<💛 I also went on the ferris wheel like 3 times XD I love the ferris wheel! Oh and when I went on rides multiple times, I sorta went on them on different times of the day to check out all the other cool rides and even see the performances too! cos there was a concert type thing going on and I was there ^w^ There was a dj and a musician with a saxophone. the dj played cool songs and the guy with the sax really jazzed up those songs! lolpuns XD And I been here until the sunset and it was night and I got to see some amazing fireworks! it was awesome ^w^

And then I went home and got myself a hot choccy with some marshmallows, cream, and candycane, while I cuddled with my guinea pig Minty and we watched Popee The Performer together :3 Then Minty eventually tells me she needs down for the toilet so I let her go back, but it turns out I need to run to the bathroom too! Bathroom breaks are important too. good idea Minty X3 Alright, gotta get dinner and regain energy to make some preparations to move to my new house! I'll need to see if I have any cash at home so I can use it for my new house..I doubt I'll have much, but if you'd like to help me make sure I have enough so I can escape from a rough neighbourhood. If you could share my journals to friends too, I'd appreciate it lots ÚwÙ Thank you for reading this far! If you have ofcourse. which if you did, you're awesome :3 and you're even more awesome if you share this and support me financially ^w^ Anywho, stay kawaii you guys! 💖

I'm on other places too! ^-^

Hai! so as you know from my previous post, I was on a temporary hiatus as we travelled all the way to Scotiacon in glasgow! It's my first time going to both so it was a nice new experience for me ^w^ Sorry this post was a bit later than expected, I was very tired coming home and I had muscle pains from all that exercise. But maybe that ain't so bad cos it means I'm getting stronger :3 So by the time I posted this, I had the energy to do so. Here we are!

So! on the first day my helper/carer was with me to be my handler, and also because I am too nervous to travel alone.. ^-^; We took a train alllll the way to glasgow where I was chilling, chatting, and doing a bit of plushie making on the go. From my recent posts during the time I shared this journal, I was working on a swift fox plushie of Cody :3 It was a looong journey but fun stuff like that keeps things fun ^-^

And so, we arrive at a glasgow hotel. I never seen so many taxis! :o then again, I don't often get a chance to go to cities often so they're kinda big and exciting to me ^w^ I seen some fellow fursuiters at the hotel which was super fascinating because I never met other fursuiters before! Even though I'm a fursuiter aswell, it was fascinating to me seeing other fursuiters in person ^-^ My handler was the same way, she was use to me being a cute fluffy fox so it was also new to her seeing different kinds of furries aswell :o We checked the place out and we explored glasgow, there are lots of interesting stuff there! :D I like all the fancy neon lights in buildings, thought they were cool ^w^ There was also big black square buildings with huuuge windows! very modern and futuristic!

We went to Build A Bear and I got to experience building one for the first time :3 I never got to do it in person before because sadly there isn't any nearby anymore, so this was nice to experience! I got myself an eevee with a hawaiian shirt ^w^ I think I'll call this one Melvin because it's the eevee I have in games, so Melvin went with me when we went out for dinner-er..brunner! because my helper and I haven't eaten all day, ehh.. ^-^; It's cos we were so busy but we did have snacks, but for me it's normal, I have brunner alot. I shouldn't, because I forget to eat or I prioritise things that I think are more important than eating, but I guess I was use to that kinda thing. Anywho, for brunner we went to TGI Fridays and we got a nice big feast and I got to try some cocktails and mocktails :3 I dunno why but I've always preferred mocktails, alcohol is just way too sour for me! >.< But maybe that's a good thing, I'm scared of knowing what it's like to be drunk, I don't wanna embarrass myself or put myself in danger QwQ so probs for the best anyway. Sweet foods ftw! I also got to try corndogs for the first time and loved em X3 And I got a delicious chicken burger and chips, along with some bbq chicken wings. Yum! I had quite the feast, I was getting full so I had the bbq wings for laterr :3 It was also nice to sit next to Melvin, plushies make me happy :3 I do wish I got to see more of the Build A Bear + toy shop place, the remote control cars looked like alotta fun <:3

We went back to the hotel and Futurama was on tv! I haven't seen that show in yeears! was great to watch it again ^-^ The shower stuff and soaps also smelt lovely, I had a good long shower before I go to Scotiacon tomorrow, because everyone likes a nice smelling clean fursuiter after all UwU What's fascinating is that the tv had german ads, and I noticed they have haribo adverts like we do :3 Oddly their english theme actually sounded better than their original german one. Usually stuff in their native languages tends to be best, but I actually liked the theme with the english language best, I think cos the tune itself sounded better to me, I dunno oguifogfugfoiudgod

After a night time shower, some cartoons, and a rest, we went to Scotiacon and was very confused at first :o Unfortunately I couldn't go to the dealers den as it was a huuuuge queue all the way through the event, so we checked the times and we had fun taking pictures and playing on the inflatables at the airheads event :3 I uh..mmmay of gotten too playful and didn't realise my own strength.. QwQ I glomped one of the inflatable toys but then noticed it was deflating and when I got up there was a big hole..oops! ``/).(\ I was like sorrysorrysorry but thankfully nobody seemed mad at me or anything so uh..no hard feelings? <=D maybe they were use to that kinda thing, accidents happen.. ^-^;; I guess I learnt something about myself, usually I'm gentle 'n' all but I guess sometimes I don't know my own strength when I'm excited, so I do apologise if I play rough <:3

We then went to play Just Dance, I'm very new at the game so it was my first time playing, the only time I did play before was like "demos" at high school, but basically we were watching just dance youtube videos of gameplays and we were seeing if we can do the moves too :3 still just as fun tho! and good practice ^w^ When I was told to go up with others there was 3 dancers and I was in the middle, we did the Hatsune Miko song that was Popipo I think it was called. I don't know alot about Miku but I do like their songs :3 I wasn't sure what my results were as I was still getting use to the layout, and I was a bit rusty I think <:3 Then we did the How Do You Like That song. Love that song! I introduced one of my new and good friends to it too and even she loves it X3 But boy was that dance hard! I was just pure confusion all the way XwX but at least I wasn't the worst, not the best but not too bad either. I was alot better at I'm Blue da ba dee da ba die tho X3 that dance was fun and alot easier I think I nailed it kinda ^w^ my fursona isn't completely blue but I do have a blue mouth, peets, eyes, nose, and inner ears. and fun fact: the cyan on Hazel's ears is actually skin, not fur, so she doesn't have blue fur. Same goes with Sakura, Skye, and many of my ocs who have pink inside their ears, it's skin not fur UwU You'll know it's fur if it looks fluffy, like Cody's ears for instance.

Anyway as much as we would love to stay, we had to go get lunch so we had to leave early as we've to catch a train <:3 We got a McDonalds then made our way back, found some cool coins and some nice shops :3 Bought a sprigatito funkopop which came with a free scratch card, and then I used the coins I found to try out some cool looking nerd candy ^w^ The coins I found were two 20 pences so I was very lucky, I spent it on the nerds along with paying by card UwU On the way to glasgow and back, I was chatting, chilling, cuddling Mr Owl (my great horned owl plushie), listening to loud edm on my headphones, and sewing my Cody plush on the journey, so it has been pretty fun and a nice new experience for me ^w^

When I got home, my guinea pigs were doing fine and still had plenty food and water, they were doing zoomies as soon as I was back XD I think they're excited to see me! Cookie jumped around with her zoomies so much she crashed into Chip and he just did a very grumpy squeak XDDD As for fursuit photos and pictures in general, I should be able to share some eventually! My handler took most of the pics especially of me in fursuit, so I'll have to see when she'll email them to me :3 then I'll share with you guys too! ^w^ so I might not be able to share em straight away until they arrive, but stay tuned and I can share em eventually! I was checking out some of the pics online and recognised alot of the things there X3 though seeing as there was more fun events before and after made me wish we could stay longer QwQ I hope that one day we will be allowed to experience the conventions for more than a day cos it all sounded like alot of fun, especially since Scotiacon's theme was magical mayhem and I love fantasy, and I heard somewhere on their timetable there was like some sort of teamwork adventure game that we sadly didn't have time for. but it looked like it would be alot of fun I hope I get to try out fun games like that in the future <:3 even better if they were fantasy rpg themed <X3

So, it just goes to show! Work real hard on your dreams and one day you'll achieve them for sure! ^w^ Keep working towards them and never give up no matter what, cos who knows, maybe one day you'll get to follow all your hopes and dreams just like I'm doing! ^-^ You only live once, so you may aswell make the most of life while you still can :D So never give up on your hopes, dreams, bucket list, or life goals in general, cos there will be a day where all your dreams will come true (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
