happy new year!! 2026!! WOHOO i'm compiling all the end of the year asks into one post :D took me a few days since i was a fool and wanted to draw for some answers. let's get into it, long post ahead!!
21. What’s something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?
our home smells great and of oranges this year thanks to a scent diffuser thing that we got 🍊🍊🍊 AND... i switched out my old dinky ikea chair for a rly cute gamer chair where i can lounge sleepy dad style watching my housewives. behold the magnificent chair and some of my highlighted trinkets
22. Favorite place you visited this year?
we took some of the animation students to the Skocjan caves in slovenia for a daytrip during the film festival and it was honestly the coolest place i've ever been in my life. the highest point from bottom to top of the cave ceiling was 223 meters. we weren't allowed to take pics so imagine mind blowing views around every corner for like 3 km. there was a river going thru the bottom and they don't even know where it comes from yet since it's largely unexplored. HOW!!!
fear & hunger takes the cake in terms of how much time i've spent thinking about it (and its sequel) and watching other people's gameplays of it next to playing it!! i love it. it's soo... torture labyrinth. perfect for me since i'm used to the sisyphean task of playing DBD for over a thousand hours by now 😐 and by god there will be many more
9. Best month for you this year?
DESPITE the flu taking me the hell out post-trip it was december 🗣️
11. Something you want to do again next year?
i wanna draw MORE comics and work hard on them, maybe even do something more longform! i have soo many ideas for enstars comics and original work both but i keep getting distracted by 👆👆 games.....
i tried so many amazing things this year and could write a whole thing abt it all but my honest answer is the pile of bland hot dogs i ate at the hot dog eating contest that i impulsively took part in bc some contestants didn't show up. i ended up sharing 4th/5th place. here's the organizer setting the stage up in a ketchup costume
i got very into Black Country, New Road in early 2025 and imagine my joy when i found out that they had a new album coming out shortly after i discovered them...!! i am obsessed with the whole album but this track's my fav 👑!
thank you!!! i loved seeing your work as well, i'm so happy to have discovered so many cool new artists thru the ensanta event 💖💖💖
10. Something that made you cry this year?
the fantastic movie look back had me absolutely inconsolable. i don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it (and i really recommend it!! one of the best and most gorgeous movies ever) but having lived thru something very similar to the protag in the end and how she deals with it, it just hit too close to home for me.
24. Did you keep any New Year’s Resolutions?
at first i thought i had no resolutions but then i realized wait, YES!! i tabled at a con which was a super lovely experience, and i fixed my bike and rode it a lot this past year, overcoming the stupid falling accident in 2024 that had me scared and with a broken bike. it must all be thanks to the rly cute kitty chiaki sticker i put on there. thank you chiaki. here's a drawing i did of it a few months ago
and thank ALL OF YOU!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖 i've had a great time on here and i hope to keep drawing stuff that makes you all smile!! MWAHHH
