So yeah. Gonna keep doing what I’ve been doing and leave this News Post up. Commenting on it whenever I wanna communicate with Followers here. If I have an Important Update I’ll write it as a News Post and leave it up for 1-2 Weeks, then delete it. If I can find a way to prioritize leaving this Post up front while making new ones then I’ll do that. But I’ve found a Nice Solution for now. Anyway if ya wanna hear me Dump my Brain out, my Twitter’s the place for that. Got a Main and an SFW Alt. Don’t spend much time on the latter but that’ll change in the Near Future.
Figured now would be a Good Time to say I won’t be Online much this and next month, Parents’ Birth Months back-to-back.
And during Summer while I’ll still hop on and do some work I’m basically gonna be in Vacation Mode. Part of why I’ve been working like Crazy the first few months of the Year. But yeah, Hope ya’ll are enjoying your day!
(Not April Fool’s Post)
Here’s the List of Creative Plans I got for the Foreseeable Future! Pretty much everything I want to do as of April 2024 is on there. But like my Pin/Main News Post I’ll update it when I feel it’s necessary.

Good Morning!
My Mom’s Birthday is in a week, and my Dad’s is next month. So from now ‘til Early May I’ll be very On and Off. Then in Summer “Vacation” Mode.
I’ll still be Working and Lurking, and probably watch more Streams. But I’m gonna be getting a lot of Time Outdoors, Having Fun, and with Family/Friends this Summer. Honestly since I spent the last few months getting more Important Stuff set I’ll have a lot of Time for Art too!
This Year’s really solidified how I wanna go about my presence Online. And aside from making a Personal Webpage and naybe checking out some more platforms I’m all set there. Guess that’s Good considering this Summer marks 5 Years of being Freelance Online.
Damn.
I feel much better than Years 2-4, and got a Solid Plan for the Foreseeable Future. The only really Big Thing to do now is figure out Finances, and get some of the Goals from Previous Years done, as well as Art.
Anyway have a Good One Chooms.
Geez in Two Months it’ll be 5 Years since I started my Creative Endeavors Online. 3 Months after that for when I first made this Twitter (Written On Twitter First Clearly, Still Weird To Think I Only Made Every Other Account Less Than Six Months Ago). Twitter felt similar but sooo different too.
It’s been a Wild 5 Years. Wild Awesome, and Wild Taxing. I’ll write up something in June for it
It’s all good don’t worry, just kinda dawned on me how close that is now. It’s crazy how fast it’s been. It all kinda just felt like a long but quick year honestly. But yeah, I’ll just be taking a few days after writing this to focus on work and IRL stuff offline.
Won’t be long, like a week or so. Want to get unfinished art done and just take a bit of a break from social media. Got some more stuff to do besides that, and just need time away from it. Got a lot on my mind and I want to process healthily. Man it’s taken me a long time to write this honestly. But anyway see ya soon people.
Apologies if I worried anyone earlier. I got partially overwhelmed but I’m feeling better. Gimme like 2 or 3 days and I should be good. I won’t be as busy by then too. See you all soon, Stay Well out there.
Actually think I’ll just be back on Tomorrow Night. That’s basically two days anyway. Sorry, it just dawned on me hard just how much has gone on in those 5 Years. Online and IRL. Good and Bad. I just got very overwhelmed. Shit’s all felt like One Long, Fuzzy Year tbh. Especially since 2020 I’ve been Working My Ass Off with Creative and Practical Work. While processing Heavy-Ass Shit from multiple fronts. I’ve said this a few times when writing during the Thick of my Depression a few years back but it’s been the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows. I’m still feeling better than that time but this year has been pretty rough at times itself. But also pretty good too. But I don’t want to ramble too much now. Just wrote this to let people know I’m feeling alright. Expect a lot of Art soon too. Line Arts and Full.
Focusing solely on uploading Finished WIPs I’ve been building up. It might be the only thing I upload for a bit. I want to focus on completing Old Works after settling these Old Plans. Got other stuff to do as well. Though I’ll still Comment, Reply, and come to Streams. I’ll still be on a little less just to Relax Offline more too. But I do still have Account Organization to do between my Alts on Twitter as well. And am trying to spend more Time on NG and DA again. But it’s about time for the Art Explosion anyway. Good Luck out there Folks!
I don’t come here enough. I need to change that soon. Miss this place a ton
Man, 7 Days to Five Years.
Don’t worry I won’t point it out everyday it’s still just Crazy to think about.
Spent so much of it Working on so much it just kinda flew away. And unfortunately spent a lot of it Sad as Fuck. But a lot of it was Worthwhile, including the Sadness.
I only regret not handling my Emotions the Best in that Time. And not having more Time to spend with some passed Loved Ones. But despite everything it’s all been Validating, and Fun on plenty occasions. Anyway I’ll Log On and Explore my Socials later. Have a Good Day Folks! ✌️
Gonna draw as much LGBTQ+ Characters as I can this month alongside the other Series I’m working on. Tho I’m going to be fairly busy this month too.
There is a Character I already have in mind that can fit in a few of those Criteria’s that I really enjoy drawing~
Need to buy a New Sketchbook soon but I think that last one despite having few pages will be my Go To Sketchbook. Durable Canvas, Easily Erasable, and it wasn’t Too Expensive either.
Still got 3-4 Pages left tho
Well. T-Minus 3 Days until I’ve spent Five Years as a Artist Online. It’s ****ing Weird. These last Five Years have been among the Best and Worst of My Life. Keeping the Reflection short here, especially ‘cause I’m trying not to Repeat myself. But I haven’t felt this…”Alright” in Years. Definitely more than Five I’ll tell ya that. Twitter Followers around for this year actually seeing my Tweets will know. But this Year could’ve easily been Worse for me than the Last Few considering a lot of the things happening in it.
Almost did back in March or April when a particularly harrowing situation arose out of the Megaman Community. One that really shook me and my Trust. And almost reignited a lot of that despair I’ve had a Bad Habit of Spewing. And it’s not like I haven’t been upset or had Bad Days since.
Real Bad Days. But I’m not spending weeks Isolating as much. And like I mentioned a while back have had Days where it all just melts away and I can live in the moment without distracting myself with some Task. Currently just trying to Unpause my Life while Working Healthy.
After much delay the First Edition of my “Comic Critique Corner” is here!
In this prototype entry, we take a quick look at the Culmination of Archie Horror’s Ten Years (Apparently) of output:
THE CURSED LIBRARY: Prelude.
Think I’ll be Free for most of the Week, but I’ll still be on and off ‘til July. Spending time offline has been very refreshing in a lot of ways, just went to an Annual Fair that had recently gotten access to Rides again. Saw a lot of people I haven’t in a long time. Was Great!
Family packed a lot of our Summer Plans into June and doing Housework has been taking time I’d usually be Drawing or hanging out Online. For July and the rest of the Year until Winter I’ll be taking this more Relaxed Pace. Tho a bit more than I’ve done this month.
Today (After Midnight) is most likely going to be the last day I have with my Eldest Dog, Sam. We took her in to give her Comfort in her Final Years. And we succeeded. But I’ll need time.
Next week is also going to be the Big Crescendo of events I have planned with Family for the Year.
After that, generally just gonna be going with the flow. That more Relaxed Pace I’ve been mentioning.
Forgive the repetitive updates. It’s hard to know if any followers see these.
Back from the big trip, now aside from spur of the moment travel and Personal Obligations I’ve got no other Big Plans for the year. And a lot of Time to work with. Still got stuff to do of course but a more Flexible Schedule. Went to the same convention that inspired me to kick off my Art Journey in 2019. That, and just random Kindness and Hospitality from strangers really invigorates me. I’ll still be at a more relaxed pace, but I’ll be taking my Work more seriously; including taking care of Health.

I’ll start drawing again Tomorrow Night, then try to go for at least one session of Drawing/Art-Related Work every other day for the rest of the Year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Hopefully by the end of this year I’ll have All my WIPs done and be Streaming. I also still need to sort my Socials a bit and make some dedicated VTubing Accounts, but I’m basically up to date with things I’ll need for Creative Work. Anyway yeah, little Post-Vacation Recentering of Focus for me and slightly repetitive Update for you. Have a Good One!

Didn’t end up drawing yesterday, or really hang with Fam. Again. So those are my Main Missions today.
Again I won’t be logging in to interact much today. At least not ‘til the Evening. Gonna do some Character Pieces ‘cause I can get those done quickly. Have a Good Day ya’ll

I really want to reconnect with folks I’ve talked to on here, Newgrounds, and DeviantArt too. But it’s really hard not to feel like I complicate people’s lives. So if you’re someone I used to talk to and few I’m ignoring you. I promise it’s not intentional, and I’m Sorry.
