This is just a quick, bullet-point List of stuff I've been doing and stuff I'd like to get done. Just a Quick-Fire-Type Deal, no longwinded explanations.

What I've Been Doing

Going Outside More. Swimming, Taking Walks/Drives, Having Fires Outside, Gardening, Chopping Wood, People/Creature Watching, etc.

Practicing More Self-Care. Cooking Meals, Playing with My Style, Training and Exercising. And remembering to Actually Relax once in a while.

Catching Up On Newer and Older Media. Some bein' playing my PS2 (A Ton Of Jak II In Particular Right Now), trying the updates in Sonic Frontiers, Street Fighter 6, playing DbD again. Watching Hellraiser 3 & 4. Scott Pilgrim Takes Over. Digital Circus. LOVEWEB. A Ton.

Studying History, both of Creative Endeavors and various aspects of Life/Culture, to build Inspiration and Understanding.

Talking about more of this with my Family. Helps me out, helps them understand some of the more Esoteric Worries I usually try to deal with on my own. And I Vent to ya'll less. A Win-Win-Win.

Went to a Hotel near an Ocean around my BDay. Absolutely Incredible.

Went to a Hank Williams Jr. Concert with my Dad. A Ton of Fun, caught a Concert Bug and have been watching Live Performance Uploads of various Artists more.

Went to a Con born from my Home State with my Sis and had a Ton of Fun. Went to a panel with the Director, Executive Producer, and Star Villain of Terrifier 2 which was So Damn Cool.

Spent a lot of time really reflecting, without trying to Hyper-Accelerate it by being on my Art Socials like what ended up happenin'.

Schemin', Dreamin', and Drawin' like Tomorrow doesn't Exist. Both on Creative and IRL Stuff.

Getting a New Phone, and all the BS that can bring.

Taking care of my Animals, Home, Family, and Self more.

And More.

What I'm Working On

Getting my Tech sorted, and making space for it.

Making Studio Spaces in my Homes.

Home Maintenance

Learning to Code, use various programs and coding languages, and getting Game Creation Software (Even More Consumer-Grade Stuff Like dreams)

Relearning to Drive/Gettin' my License

Making Space for various things/appliances in my Homes.

Fixing my Mental. Working Out. And Resharpening my Martial Arts/Marksmanship.

Relearning Measurements and Currency Conversion from U.S.-International

Trying to study Politics without losing my mind. Can be done, but not Easily.

Finishing a bunch of Art for the Art Explosion.

And a bunch of other stuff I both have and haven't already mentioned.

So yeah, if you want a more specific view into what I've been up to: there ya go. This will be the Last Major News Post 'til the Midpoint of Next Year, so like around September-Late August. I may do a bit of Lurking here and on Twitter; especially when I'm making New Web Pages/Art Accounts. But I still want to keep my Distance so I don't fall into the same Toxic Patterns I caught myself in. I'm Hoping Half-a-Year more will be enough. Anyway I'll keep in touch if needed, and if this is the Last I see of ya this Year. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to ya Reader. Stay Safe, Stay Godlike.

'Sup folks, just wanted to give a Status Report before the year's out. I'll keep it short.

First off I'm feeling much better. Well that might be a bit overstated. But I'm feeling back to normal after a year+ of being Super Emotionally Volatile.

Second, my Phone's still outta the picture for now. Got a new one but I'm waiting on Apple to realize it's me (Screwed Up My Password).

And last for now, while there's a ton of people here and on Twitter I miss talking to and I miss posting/reviewing Art; I still need Time.

I don't want to hop back on 'cause I'm feeling better and make the same f**k ups. It's better for me and anyone interested in me or my work that I take more time for Healing and IRL Priorities. I'll lurk a bit, but won't dedicate a buncha time 'til the Mid-Point of 2024

To wrap this up: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year Reader. This Year was Insane. But among all the Heartache there was a lot of Good too. Don't be blind, but don't forget to enjoy stuff when you have a chance.

Not dead, and feeling much better; but with more stuff dropping on my plate. As per usual it seems.

I'll write something a Li'l more substantial later, but I'm not truly returning 'til next year. I got some stuff I'd like to do then though. Nothing Dramatic.

Just some shifts in plans and stuff.

Hope Life's Been Kind To You. or at least you've been rolling with it's punches. Later for now

This Account is on Hiatus for the rest of 2023 to potentially a Full Year for reasons repeated to a tiresome amount throughout. Hope to return as less of a drain on both Followers and any of the Budding Friendships I got.

Hell I’m only writing this as a notice ‘til my return.

While gone I plan to get a lot of Work done while I rebuild my Mojo. If it goes well enough I might even return early. I need to get back to work and a more positive attitude while still being Honest and Edgy. For my Followers, Budding Friendships, and myself.

Not gonna lie. While so far this has been good for my productivity and mental. I already really miss talking to a lotta people both on here and Newgrounds. It’s always been one of my Favorite Parts about all of this.

Later People

To start things off, I just wanted to get this out of the way now. Because I’ve already labeled too many posts as the “Last One” and a Pseudo 4 Year Review.

But i honestly need to do one more reflection on this year in my Life and Career before my BDay.

This Year was one step forward, two back in a lot of ways. It’s not hard to notice if you’ve read these. I’ve been making a lot of steps to improve the pitfalls I’ve had. But I’ve also gotten into some pointless arguments. One where even if I was arguing against the same Pedojacket Shit they were being labeled as, I impulsively and defensively used my SA Trauma in a selfish way. Not like my breakdown in November. I’m not going down that road, especially not after how the SuperMega Shit turned out. Another thing too. I’ve said it before but now I’m REALLY sticking to it: I’ll talk about whatever’s on my mind and News Topic-Type Shit. But especially after a lot of the Stories I’ve talked on this year, I’m straying away from talking about more Interpersonal Dramas unless I really feel the need to say something. That’s not to say I won’t share any supportive comments anymore either, but for One I do want to let people have space, and Two I have gotten a bit too used to commenting on personal hurts people have because I’ve felt them too. It’s led to some fun connections and I definitely still want to reach out and have fun on here while talking shop and getting my own work done. As well as the Art Analysis I did back when I first started. But I definitely need to do better next year about how I use my Socials compared to this.

I’ve made a lot of progress setting up how I want to do things going forward, and have been working on Art still while doing IRL Stuff as well. And I plan to compile all the Non-Informative (Or Writing) NG Posts into a Chronological Document so this place will be cleaned up a bit. I might make that a Habit every few years from now on.

I still got to fix my phone screen, but I’m going to extend my break to extend my Hiatus for possibly the rest of the year. I wanted to be done by Halloween. But I’m not sure, if my Head is doing good around my Birthday I may even stick to that. But I do want to have a lot of Art to show for my absence, and also to get more IRL Shit done. But despite the Slow Improvement I’ve been in the Cycle for way too long now.

So stay safe out there people, but don’t forget to take some time too If I am feeling better I might start lingering around a bit again. But I need some solid time away from this while I get it together.

21 days until I turn 24.

Also a day or two from being in this Indie Art Shit Four Years.

I’m still working on stuff, while trying to keep motivated and not get lazy, with Creative and Practical Obligations. Been finding a lot of Comfort in watching Shit like South Park lately.

If you haven’t yet I highly encourage you to watch the 25th Anniversary Concert, especially after rewatching the Movie it really soothes the Soul man. Think I’ll do a post recommending some of my Favorite Shit I’ve experienced this year.

I’ll see ya’ll when I see ya.

Yo I’m still on Break, but I needed to come back and say this:

More information has come out recently putting much of the Allegations surrounding SuperMega into question, if not straight up falsifying it.

If these revelations are legit. I want to apologize to Matt, Ryan, and Don if they saw my tweet at all. I let my Anger get the Best of me, and legitimately wished Suffering upon ‘em. My Ass should’ve waited, but I let my Rage get the better of me.

My Phone Screen Is Dying. Might be gone a bit longer than expected.

I’ve shared these before, but I love the accidental contrast in these Pieces, and the slight subversion.

Shadow’s being a peaceful shot of him among a Starry Sky.

Sonic’s a piece before conflict, but with a similar peace built from determination.

It’s like Poetry, it Rhymes.

Hope you can forgive this break in the Hiatus, started working on finishing WIPs and I wanted to share this quick observation. Plus I just hate leaving things off on a Sour Note.

Coming Attractions:

Horror Art

Lewd Art

Environmental Art

Art Of Each Skullgirls Character (Fighters)

Fan Art For A Lot Of Series Including:

Sonic

Street Fighter

Hazbin/Helluva Boss

Star Fox/A Fox In Space

Kirby/Kirby Guardian

Scream

Dead by Daylight

FNAF

South Park

Futurama

Family Guy

And A Lot More. Like A LOT

Speaking of more here’s some other Things I got planned:

Art Explosion: A Big Art Dump where I’ll share a bunch of Illustrations of widely varying Tones and Subjects. I’ll be sharing it all at once, and write [ CONTENT WARNING: ] on any especially Edgy Shit I make. Doing this as both a Creative Exercise and a apology for my Whining.

Scream Franchise Retrospective: Covering the Films up to VI, along with some other Ghostface-Adjacent Media like Danny Johnson of Dead by Daylight and the TV Show; this is gonna be my Love Letter to one of my Favorite Franchises.

Devilman Animation Retrospective: Think a blend of the In-Depth Density of the Scream Retrospective with the more casual approach I’ve mentioned. This will cover every Animated Adaptation of Devilman, which I’ve been enjoying my Time with recently.

Shoto’s Album of the Day: Something I’ve already done on Twitter, I want to recommend Albums I enjoy each day I decide to Log In. I’m not very experienced with analyzing Music so this will be a pretty casual affair compared to other writing I’ll be doing.

Illustration Remakes: I want to post Higher Quality Versions of a lot of my Old Art as is. But I feel like Redrawing some pieces would be a lot more Fun! I’ll do this sporadically, much like how I always do my Art anyway. But I’ll try not to do too many Back-to-Back.

Livestreaming: I got a few different Ideas for this but I definitely want to do Streaming sometime soon.

Media Analysis and Retrospectives: From Books to Blockbusters, Albums to Video Games. I definitely want to start that again regularly.

Original Fiction: I’ve got some Ideas, Characters, and Worlds Brewing. But it’ll be a little bit before I really delve into these.

Animation: Once I get the Tools again I’m definitely gonna be Animating a lot.

And much more. There’s a lot of Creative Mediums I want to play in. But I’ll leave it here for now. Any “Coming Attractions” post I make will be marked with the Month and Year it’s released. This one’s just an Improved version of two others, meant to list the Creative Endeavors I’m aiming to work on the next few years so basically it’ll be the Tree the other lists will branch off of.
