I'm Sorry, Did Someone Say 'No Straight Roads 2'???

WE ARE SO BACKK??? HOLY MOLY WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!

AND I GUESS I AM TOO UHM....Hey guys, how's it going?? How's the last year been treating you? I know it sure has been quite the ride for me XD

But no, seriously let's uh...let's talk real quick!!

So, I've been gone- :3

I know, shocker! I bet you had no idea, and now you're probably wondering: "where have I been?"

And if you weren't thinking that, then just pretend like you were.

(I know most of you are just here for the art lol, it's okay, me too. That being said, If you don't wanna read my long spiel about my absence and stuff then i'd probably scroll right about now XD)

Back in March last year, I made a post talking about going on hiatus due to some issues I was having. And then I came back May 1st....we don't talk about that lol

For the most part, everything that I was dealing with has been taken care of - I've had a lot of time to learn about myself during that period. 2024 wasn't the best year, but a lot came out of it that helped me grow, and that includes the way I feel about my art and NSR.

I originally created this blog for two reasons:

One - because I wanted to archive any and all of my NSR work.

And two - because NSR really spoke to me in a way that not many medias have, and I wanted to show my appreciation in some way.

I created this blog waay after I'd already played the game. it was kinda an impulsive decision - I'd been posting on amino up until that point and I had the passing thought to archive some of those drawings on a blog, in case they ever got lost. I think the funniest thing about that is that I created the blog and then waited an entire year before making my first post.

I was so nervous about the whole thing, I don't even know why XD

I was struggling a lot during that time; a lot of life problems that just kept getting worse. But NSR had remained a constant, and this blog gave me somewhere to go that felt welcoming. I never expected the attention that my art got, and I'll always be thankful to everyone who's ever liked or reblogged any one of my posts.

-So thank you all!

I love NSR so much, it's timing couldn't have been more perfect. It came into my life during a period where I really needed it. This blog has been nothing more than my appreciation for the game and everything that it has done for me, really.

But late 2024, I'd reasoned with myself that I didn't really need to keep posting on this blog anymore. I kinda felt like, everything that I wanted to do and say had been fulfilled; I didn't need to keep holding on to it anymore.

Funnily enough, I was just about to put this blog to rest, when suddenly my page is flooded by none other than -

No Straight Roads 2.

Shocked, is an understatement. Excited, is also an understatement.

Not only have I been screeching about this to everyone in the nearest vicinity to me, but I've been full of adrenaline, like -

I'm convinced if you tried to hit me with a car, the car would just crush itself continually until it's become nothing but a minuscule piece of scrap metal under the weight of my internal excitement.

that - and, I've also kinda taken it as a sign.

There's still so much I haven't posted here or shared - and what kind of archive would this be if it didn't include EVERYTHING NSR that i've ever made.

That would just be a terrible archive. So I plan to fix that!

I'll be posting here everything NSR that I've made. Yeah, that includes some old unfinished fanfics and a LOT of scrapped work. You'll see it all if you plan to hangout lol

I'll also be posting new art too!! here's to hoping I can draw mayday and zuke again, It's been quite some time!! If you've read this far down, Thank you! sorry this was long and boring and all that stuff XD

I can't wait to get back to it, I'll see you...probably tomorrow....or the day after.....or the day after the day after......orrrr the day after the day after the day afterrrr.......

OH, and one more-

-ugh, sorry about that. didn't mean to jump at you so hard.

one more thing! If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. this blog is about to be a hodge-podge of NSR things so - if you're curious about anything - ask away!!

Mkay, Bye for real this time!!!

[bunkbed-junkclub]

boogie ✨

[mayhavemayhem]

omg I am sooo behind on posting!! It's been a lot these last couple of months lol, I have a new set up and I've been trying to get used to it - but it's taking a WHILE 😭

In the meantime, have a random outfit concept I made for my NSR AU!!

I promise I'll be back soon, I have so much to say about Casey!!

[mayhavemayhem]

I got so busyyy :c

I'll be back soon though lol, in the meantime have an unfinished wip of mine!!

[mayhavemayhem]

Super Secret link in my bio definitely doesn't take you to my Super Secret project that i've been Super Secretly working on for the last two unSuper Secret weeks.

nope. totally doesn't do that at all.

Hey, is the link still considered a secret if everyone can see it?

[mayhavemayhem]

I've been a little quiet for minute, yeah?

something....kinda big is around the corner.....it's just y'know.....taking the life outta me is all....

In the meantime - Two random doodles!! And not just that, But my first fic upload?!

Yeah! My first fic upload! If you click riiiight here, it should take you to it!

Should, because i'm too lazy to check - so we'll see what happens. I'll just wait for someone to comment that the link isn't working before I bother checking it myself lol.

BUT IT SHOULD WORK! Hopefully :D

I'll see you all in a bit! I can't wait to share with you what I've been working on!

[mayhavemayhem]

Some Eve concepts!! These ones in particular were made for something....kinda special.

More on that later.....

Also, you know it's old when I can't find a high res version of the image! We'll never be able to see all those little details :c

[mayhavemayhem]

I DONT KNOW IF YOUVE POSTED IT BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY NSR OCS?

I love you works they look to coooll

AAAA THANKK YOU SO MUCHH!!!

AND I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED BECAUSE OMG I DO HAVE A NSR OC I JUST - I NEVER FOUND A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT THEM OR POST THEMM!!!

It's been a really long time since I drew them, so I made this real quick doodle. ignore how messy it is XD

Their entire character is basically just that they're a background NPC.

Okay that's not..entirely true but for the most part, that's basically all they are.

Their gimmick is that they don't speak. like at all. most people in vinyl city know them as, 'that person that won the 'Longest Silent Treatment' award', but that's as far as anyone has gotten. No one knows their name or where exactly they came from, just that they're here and that no one can get them to talk.

I always imagined the interaction between them and B2J being Mayday constantly attempting to get them to break character and speak, while Zuke toils over whether or not what may is doing qualifies as harassment.

I also definitely don't ship them with Joey.

Piiiishhh, whaaaat? I would never. Me? doing oc x canon - I don't think so. Nu-uh, I did not. you must be hearing things.

hypothetically, if I did ship them with Joey(which I totally don't), I'd like to think he has no idea they even have a thing for him. like, man is too oblivious and Waaay too invested in his music critiques that he just...doesn't notice them awkwardly shuffling in his general direction. They like to sit and watch Joey - and Joey doesn't seem to mind it at all.

They tend to hangout in Natura or Dream Fever, as they have a preference for the more quieter districts.

Here's a quick alteration I did so you can see their outfit a little better:

And down here is the first drawing I ever did of them!

Oh, and if you're curious what their name is, it's..........

Fish.

[mayhavemayhem]

YAAAAYYYY, SOME NEWER STUFF LETTSS GOOO!!!

I didn't have as much of a hard time doodling these two as I thought I would. Although, that side profile still feels slightly off and it's bugging me.

This was supposed to be a quick scribble though, so no going back and altering it!!

[mayhavemayhem]

I have so much leftover concept stuff :(

I never figured out what I wanted to do for Eve and Tatianna, but perhaps I'll revisit the 'Vs Concepts', and finally put it to rest lol

Otherwise, enjoy these two leftover concepts! there's a couple more, but I'm holding on to them juusst in case......

[mayhavemayhem]

Unfinished Eve side profile <33

[mayhavemayhem]

whatever was beside this drawing, I have no idea.

But here's Zuke doing...something?

[mayhavemayhem]

Man, is there a bit of a backlog...

Guess we'll just have to churn our way through it lol.

I was originally gonna use this drawing for updates and any other random rambling I might've had. But, I never really had the opportunity to use it, and it's just been sitting.

It won't ever be used for that purpose now but - it's important to this blog so - into the funnel it goes!!

[mayhavemayhem]

May 1st!!! And you know what that means!!

Happy Birthday, MAYDAY!!!

i don't expect to be posting mayday drawings everyday of this month, but you never know...

Anyway this is a practice, I've been trying to re-learn how to draw May, and what better day to share this then today!

[mayhavemayhem]

Eve.

I got too lazy to finish it D:

[mayhavemayhem]

Random Doodle drop!!

[mayhavemayhem]

I'm gonna just put these up for anyone to use.

I drew these at 3 in the morning and just before I could think of something goofy or clever. I forced myself to go to bed.

it's been about a week now, and I don't think I'm ever gonna use them. so here's my brain scribbles!

(also this isn't related to the project I was talking about in my last post, these were supposed to be warm up scribbles, but then I got distracted lol)

(I'm still on a much needed Hiatus)
