If you get a message from my account with the following message, please ignore it. I’m doing my best to reply to each of you individually now.
Thank you to all my friends on various platforms who caught this and told me. I’m sorry I couldn’t get my account sooner. I’ve left warnings on some of my other social media accounts like twitter, YouTube and ko-fi if you need proof this is me.
Actually, just look at this fuckass notes app drawing. It’s me. It’s MEEEEEE 😭
Anyways, I hope to continue this creative energy and motivation into the next year. I realized that I’m not gonna get anywhere by just standing still, so even if I don’t show that progress publicly, I want to keep practicing and improving! Rather than only moving with bursts of inspiration, it’d be nice if I could go back to consistency, because I know that ultimately, that’s the only way I’d be able to tackle my larger projects. I’m also very likely to join Art Fight again in 2025, so maybe…flesh out a story or design for an OC?? Quite ambitious, but cautiously optimistic for the future!
Oh you poor idiot...

I really was optimistic for 2025. In February, I finished an animatic--something I hadn't done in years, and I was quite proud of it! But if I'm honest...it was a struggle to keep going after that.
This year, I got back into Yosakoi dancing and joined a new team, which took up the majority of my time from march onwards. I could not motivate myself to draw unless it was for other people, in one way or another... In fact, the only completely personal projects I drew this year were in January and February.
Don't get me wrong, gifting art or using it for events is one of my favorite use of skills. But the fact that I didn't reach ANY of my goals from 2024 is a bit sad.
Art definitely took a backseat in 2025. On top of Yosakoi, there was a huge multi-state family trip I planned back in America, meeting several people visiting Japan, new cosplay events, and a significant amount of domestic travel. Heck, I haven't posted the majority of these publicly (and probably won't upload them individually ever).
Also, from July to October, I was going through an emotional wringer after meeting someone new...and that situation is still developing as we speak 🫠 Maybe one day I'll overshare the details like I might have when I was younger, but I'm honestly so terrified that everything's just gonna blow up in my face again that I'm just gonna wait and see (maybe until early 2026 kasjdlkajsdl).
If I learned anything this year, it's that you can never truly predict what life throws at you. But like I said last year about my art: "[you're] not gonna get anywhere by just standing still." And that's what I took to heart--just not with my art.
My goal for 2026: gurl...forget about art, what happened with that person you're seeing? 👀Nah, just kidding. Actually, please just finish another personal project. An animatic would be ideal, but even a comic or smth!! Make use of that CSP subscription you forgot to cancel 😭
1) a very simple and genuine “i like your shoelaces”, which tells me that you are either a lesbian or a very cool ally
2) “i like your shoelaces” followed by the pronounced grimace of one recalling their past sins, which tells me that you were a 2012 tumblr user. i now hold the power in this conversation and you are at my mercy.
My sister told me about the body-horror filled origins of dog man when I visited my family recently, and on the flight back, it happened to be one of the movie choices on the plane. Now I’ve been thinking about detey yaoi for like two weeks straight.
I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"
