I'll hopefully be back online in time for TFTuesday, but here's why I've been quiet the last few days: Lightning struck near the new house and fried our internet box (along with a few other things). No injuries or major property damage though, so silver linings, right~?

I just recently learned that it's #RioluDay and I haven't drawn anything for that (yet), so I'd like to show off a relevant picture I commed a couple years back from F-L-R-N on Tumblr, a fellow Pokètopian. That fluffy boi makes great stuff~
