Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'm really thinking about doing Dire Machine and Living Machine adopts I've seen enough people talk about wanting one but never really got around to making or getting one sooooooo I'm thinking about making some! 1173
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 28/09/2026introducing Mako, the F-18 HARV i've always liked Nasa projects, and jets are really cool so when i found out about the HARV project i really got into looking into it, and really liked the stuff they did for modifications. 08915
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the F-35 is probably my overall favorite jet, with the F-18 HARV/ F/A-18 Super Hornet being a good second fav if not tied with the F-35 soooooo meet Fulgur i tried to give him a Weddell Seal pattern cause i wanted him to be a bit cuter than the others 39016

Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 21/09/2026i should make a streaming image sometime i figured since i stream basically 5-7 days/week it'd be a little annoying for my followers but I'm streaming! picarto.tv/Benjiboi lil bit of comm work, lil side work, then probably a lil gamming break just a lil bit of everythingpicarto.tvPicarto: The World's Best Creative Live Streaming Service 030

Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ive been grinding comms all week trying to get back to where i should be But I forgot about my tax payment, and medical payment So instead of getting ahead ive made no progress Im now 900 away despite the comms Didn't think a month of not taking comms would hit me that hard 062
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 17/09/2026In stream comm for @lepkisalandit.bsky.social ! just doing what lizards do 127055
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 16/09/2026So you wanna know how much it cost to get the esophageal stent taken out? A whopping almost $58,000 That means i am now nearly $314,000 in debt! All because I dont make enough to afford insurance 860
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 16/09/2026i do actually get asked about this a bit so i'll go ahead and say this art of or with my OCs is fine, even NSFW art! definitely don't be afraid to message me about doing/getting art with any of my OCs! 2268
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The artist for a day slots were definitely my main bill payers But ive been enjoying getting to slam out a ton of commissions for people again Im not close to veing stable yet again, im about $850 away from being safe, but the month is only half over! 1120

Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 10/09/2026i've been meaning to make a jeep oc for the longest time, or just a car in general but the detail always intimidated me but i finally gave in and did it! so here's Reuben!! 1118244
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Ive been so stressed over medical issues But while on vacation I got to go see Atlantis Getting to see a space shuttle in person was the most rad experience 2381
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 07/09/2026so being in and out of the hospital had a bigger financial impact than i realized or budgeted for so I'm going to try to take as many in stream comms as i can, obviously only one at a time but i'm gonna try to do a like sketch-a-thon or something cause i NEED to get caught up 1130
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 05/09/2026So they gave me about a week or two before going back to a normal diet Which means I have to stick to a soft diet for now Which means imma be on low energy mode for a bit But at least I can lay down flat to sleep again Not having literal constant acid reflux and heartburn is nice 2220
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 05/09/2026They told me there was a chance they'd have to replace the stent depending on how things looked But they ended up removing it and not needing to replace it Back on clear foods tho And my throat hurts a lot 1120
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Ugh They told me on the phone before that they'd have the operation done today, and Id be out today But now that im here theyre telling me the schedule is packed and there is no guarantee it'll be taken out today but best case is it'll be out later today and ill be out tomorrow 170
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The hospital wanted me to come back the day before the operation through the ER, they'll keep be overnight before the operation I assume this is to help me avoid the upfront cost of it normally being a elective surgery Hoping things go well 3220
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Get home finally First thing I see Why am I still alive? 4140
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Makes me sad that im going home today 😭 I definitely prefer the temperatures and weather here than back home I'll be catching up on messages, requests, and getting back into the swing of things tomorrow! 190
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 30/08/2026art work has been slow especially since i got sick after megaplex and spent the last few days recovering from that in the meantime, here's some art of Poji i did during a Megaplex room party, seeing people realize it was me, it was a surreal yet cool experience! 5472126
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Despite a some of megaplex being a little disappointing (not getting the gator plush for the gator scavenger hunt being one thing), and getting con crud, Megaplex was rad, was fun. Got to be part of a room party even though i couldnt drink a lot I did sit off to the side and draw 1130
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Damn, I thought i was careful, was even taking vitamins while at the con But looks like i caught con crud The cough and slight fever sucks the most rn But im wrapped up in a blanket, resting and keeping up with vitamins and stuff Cause this bug isnt gonna survive long in me 2190
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Im still really stressed about one thing I get back to my state the 31st, and the 4th is really the only soonest day they could schedule it. So i have to go home, go then go back to that city 4 days later 160
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 26/08/2026 though I havent been able to fully enjoy myself because of this esophageal stent, I needed this vacation The break from those shitty neighbors Break from all the damn stress I feel relaxed At least a little bit Still kinda stressed Cause I have to go back to it all monday 0190
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Megaplex was fun but partially disappointing with some stuff I also didnt get to enjoy it as much as I wanted because of this stupid damn Stent in my throat Its really limiting what I do, what I eat, and how I sleep Its getting very frustrating and exhausting 3110
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Kinda sad I couldnt get my Gator suit done in time for Megaplex because of the hospital trip But it means i can at least time my time on it and add more detail to it 0110
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Something will always feel surreal about when its the big day of a flight or trip Making sure I have everything, double checking, then triple checking, then quad checking Feeling like im forgetting something But overall, it just feeling surreal 090
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Also i had someone bring it up, but yes, I am 100% still going on this vacation. Imma try to not spend a lot so I can at least afford the lower amount of 20% but if im going to be going into super debt for the rest of my foreseeable life im going to enjoy this last vacation. 1140
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I tried to stream a little today But I just couldnt focus Was literally having to stop constantly because of the heartburn/reflux pains It was making it hard to focus And on top of it, I just couldnt successfully get anything I did get on the canvas to even look right 070
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Apologies that I havent been streaming despite being out of the hospital My vacation trip is in two days but ive been jumping between trying to get as much sleep/rest as I can despite that being hard because of the throat stent, and cleaning/packing and prepping things ahead of time for the trip 2120
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Also its sad news but I most likely wont have my gator partial fursuit done by megaplex, the hospital visit really put me behind schedule And the head itself is only half way sewn together and its just not looking the way I was hoping it would... 1150
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Great Im getting this stent removed on the 4th BUT Unless medicaid accepts my application in time, i'll be required to pay 20% up front before I can have this stent in my throat removed 140
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If sleeping in this apartment wasnt rough before it is more so now I have to keep my torso elevated at least 30 degrees to prevent acid reflux and ulcers from developing Which hasn't done much against tge reflux Its hard to stay asleep laying like this 090
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I did not miss this apartment Im finally back home, was gonna lay down for a few hours but its just the shitty neighbors back to their shitty noise. Everything hurts and im sore and exhausted I just wanted a lil more zzz 1130
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 12/08/2026The one thing that sucks is that I basically missed 5 days of unpaid work I was supposed to use those 5 days to gather rent and bills so I can go on the vacation safely So im hella behind rn 0100
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I think the hardest part of this esophagus stent so far is feeling like I've constantly got heartburn or reflux Thankfully they gave me meds for it Doesn't take the feeling completely away, but definitely helps 2160
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Good bye most uncomfortable bed known to man Thank you for the minimal comfort for the past 4 days But I will not miss you 1541
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 11/08/2026All tubes and Ives and vitals monitors are out!!!!! Just waiting for news of my meds and discharge!!! 1281
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Oh boy Dinner time Tea, chicken broth, jello, grape juice, and strawberr mango frozen thing 3190
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Getting my nose tubes taken out today, as well as an oral contrast scan, and we'll move onto drinking fluids, if all that goes well I'll be out tomorrow I cant wait. I'll be able to sleep when these things are out of my nose and throat. 3400
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 09/08/2026So update Got a stent put in my throat. It was only a partial tear, not fully through, so the stent shouldn't be in for too long Not eating for 3 days sucks ass tho Supposed to get tge esophageal bypass cubes taken out in the morning tho 4270
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Im really not looking forward to the bill this time Scans at the first hospital, all rhe meds and antibiotics, the ambulance for the transfer to other hospital, the antibiotics and tests for this hospital, and the surgery 2150
Benji @benjidood.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Aw shit here we go again Reminder to myself im not a real gator, i cant swallow prey whole, i need to chew my food better Might have torn esophagus Will be in deeper debt Yay 18511
