Thank you so much for everything guys! I had a great 2025 making new friends, drawing different things, and generally learning new things! I wanted to clarify that yes, I am on a sort of semi break/hiatus. I do still try to post the drawings I am able to finish from time to time, and I do still check my social media, just nowhere as frequently right now. Please don't worry about me terribly, I am doing fine! I just figured it's time I spend more time with my family while I still can, me getting older and everything. And it has been helping! I'm not breaking down as often and beating myself up as badly from mental stuff!

(Honestly, the news lately has been getting pretty bad for my mental health; open up the web browser and BAM, FEAR.) I've probably actually needed therapy my whole life, but never got it, and I am scared now that it's too late, I felt it was too late to have any impact since this is what I attribute to myself now. This fear of inability to make good life decisions, I'm just stuck in place, just like my vocal chords (sorry for the heavy thoughts, I was just always so hard on myself.) But my significant other is hopefully planning to move to my side of the country to be with me this year. And he told me that he'd be willing to help me through therapy if I need it. And, maybe the idea is finally not so distant now. Sure it's still scary, but I dunno... Maybe it'll work? :D I am also really fearful in taking medications because I worry I won't feel like the same person, or what if it causes potentially dangerous health issues for the ones I try? My parents also told me if I ever need to see a specialist, that I should go for it. (Is it actually that common to be terrified of therapy, I guess specifically if you have social anxiety?) But back to the present, I'm having so much fun spending time with my family now that I'm pretty detached from the online world! I'm currently playing Yakuza games with my dad (he casually just gave me another hyperfixation haha XD)! But thank you so much for everything everyone, I mean it! I'll still draw, rest assured! I can still totally draw! I'm just taking a lot more time than previously to do other activities with my time! Thank you everyone who recommended me a break! I was always thinking about it, but I couldn't take a break from school, so in turn my mind made itself up to not take a break from my social accounts. I guess I was more mentally exhausted than I thought once everything started spilling out huh...

Anyway, welcome, 2026! ^ᴗ^ 🎉🌟✨

Christmas Eve Reindeer!! :3 🎄✨

[hermitcrabstar]

Happy Christmas Eve everybody!! Today's also the birthday of my leader reindeer OC Bluno! :3 ❄️✨🎉

(I'll also probably have multiple Christmas drawings to cover both of my fandoms, Kirby and Vocaloid ^^ 🎄)

[hermitcrabstar]

I just realized I've been progressively drawing Meta Knight's eyes bigger and bigger— is this improved stylization? XD

[hermitcrabstar]

He's staring back at you with them big ol' eyes

Happy Thanksgiving!! :D 🍁🦃🍁

[hermitcrabstar]

Will I be able to make a Meta Knight Thanksgiving themed drawing this year? (If I do, shall I turn him into a turkey?)

[hermitcrabstar]

Happy Birthday Usagi, mah rabbit Kaito!! 🫶🐇🎉🎉🎉

[hermitcrabstar]

I wish I could give people hugs. I wanna reach my arms through my screen and give my friends hugs 🥺🫂

[hermitcrabstar]

I believe I might be able to slowly start coming back more often, I am getting better! (But man how unlucky is it to finally recover from my long anxiety attack, to literally getting a cold. At least I didn't get BOTH at the same time, then I might've really been doomed) I am still coughing, but I think I can finally draw since the coughs are less frequent. Drawing while jostling out of focus in an instant right when you're about to draw the most perfect line isn't fun, that's for sure... TvT

But how has everyone been? Good I hope!! ^ᴗ^ 🌟
