Some of the sweetest words I've ever read that are meant for me. Thank you, Mog, my lovely friend.

Your art is amazing and I know you're going to make some fire DATV companion art, especially of Lucanis. ;)

Wicked, the wicked temptress who tempted me into drawing Lucanis and can probably sway me to attempt to draw anything XD

I know u already saw this murder bird sketch but it was for you. ILY 💜

In Regards To Your 2024 Summary:

Holy shit it’s been another year????? The hell?????

Also! Your art style is gorgeous and that being found in 2023 and then refined throughout late 2023 and the entirety of 2024 really shows, as does your growth in panel layouts, perspective, and — as you said — experimentation. If you ever post your animation or video game art I’m looking forward to it.

As cheesy as it sounds, being able to laugh at funny comics and look at all the details of your art really made my 2024 brighter, even when things were hard. Including looking at your older art— it doesn’t need to be new to be enjoyable! I’m glad your art is well loved and it’s a privilege to have been here since the (near) beginning. I hope you take care of yourself in 2025 and beyond!

You and your art bring a lot of people a lot of joy never forget that <3

Thank you so much for keeping up with my art journey throughout these last two years! Two years!!! I am baffled at how that feels both too long and too short!

Admittedly, my art summary didn't manage to capture the fact that I did a lot of comic layouts that I'm really proud of. I also drew more backgrounds and made some very detailed works (*Dungeon Meshi spoilers for these examples*).

The growth is lot more evident when comparing my 'best' comics of 2023 to 2024:

Sometimes the growth is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal - and damn, sometimes it goes out of sight into the Z-plane. But it is always happening!

CAINE DOODLE DUMP!!!

Plus some depression from “Willard!” by Will Wood. That song is so Caine oh my god-

Im obsessed with the idea that The Digital Circus was supposed to be this grand game that just ended up falling through because of creative differences, and Caine was basically left to rot- like yeah that’d explain…*vaguely gestures* everything about him

They didn’t know what they had made

Also Bubble isn’t in the posters because I fully am committed to the theory that Caine made him himself after going crazy over being alone for forever

This started off as a neat little fun idea and nothing more, but my autism decided to finally take matters into its own hands.

A RoTTMNT playlist heavily inspired by the fanfic, "Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis" by a_platypus; among different works like Trial & Error and Odd Man Out. Songs have been placed in specific order to MNMC, but can be enjoyed on shuffle as a general Rise playlist. TCEST DNI.

@mutantninjamidlifecrisis

I looked at other playlists to see common themes and songs that are enjoyed by the average Rise fan, while also looking all over creation for songs that I thought would best fit MNMC specifically. I ended up finding a couple of awesome GVF songs along the way, that I'm genuinely surprised no one has used for anything remotely related to Rise?

Not a lot of future-Leo-goes-back-to-the-past type of playlists, but I really suck at finding things, so it's not like there isn't a lot out there. But anyway, I was a bit afraid that this playlist would be ooc for the fanfic because of my song choices? So, it kind of took me a while to make the actual playlist on Spotify, let alone make this post. But I know I'm simply overthinking it. It's the perfectionism talking.

Most of the songs have lyrics that align with major key points of the Rise movie and the fanfic, but other songs I also put there solely for the ✨vibes✨ and instrumentals really. I am still adding songs here n' there every so often, but I do plan on eventually cutting myself off from the playlist.

I was going for a "soundtrack" or "songs that sound like they belong in movies" type of feel for the whole thing, which I think I did okay on, but it kind of slowly turned more into a playlist where you can make cool animations or AMVs to; especially since this is not a listen-while-you-read type of playlist, because there's too much going on with the music in general.

Overall, just something I made out of appreciation that I think turned out okay.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a little "Golden Love moment" that happened in real life.

Last night, Italy won the Olympic gold medal in the women's team épée. One of the athletes of the team, Rossella Fiamingo, is the girlfriend of an Italian swimmer, Gregorio Paltrinieri, who had his 800-meter freestyle final at the exact same time she was competing for the gold. He finished in third place, earning his fourth Olympic medal.

(By the way, fun fact: I was mainly inspired by him for my James in Golden Love. Ngl, he's a bit of a hero for me, one of my favourite swimmers ever, gold medallist in Rio 2016. Also: very, VERY good looking, lol)

Neither of them was able to watch the other's competition, but at the end of the day, they posted a photo together on Instagram with their medals.

That's it. I love them ❤

(Also, all this Olympic talking is making me think about Golden Love and maybe a sequel...? Idk, let's see if I can write down something quick!)

[sillylotrpolls]

I just wanted you to know that your polls bring such joy to me! Every time I see a new one on my dash, my day gets better. And your results breakdown at the end of the week is invariably fascinating and entertaining.

Thanks!

I don't even know what to say. I want to take your words and encase them in imperishable crystal to be an heirloom of my house, and a pledge of good will between voters and poll makers until the end of days.

i'm foaming at the mouth I MISSED HIS RAMBLING SO BAD

like. i'm always just so in awe how passionate, how determined, how excited Dream is, it's so damn admirable and i love that for him.

and it's so sweet (and relatable ngl) that he wants to share this excitement with us even if it's prematurely and oughhh :(((

[ersatz-introspective]

low/no empathy is Minorly Othering in terms of interests (in my experience) because almost everyone i know prefers fiction over nonfiction, because it's more interesting and easier to digest,

but prefer the opposite for the same reasons. nonfiction is MUCH easier for me to parse through. i stress myself out a lot whenever i try to imagine a characters thoughts and feelings, and i end up usually just misunderstanding entirely. oftentimes it's so frustrating i just put a book down and never try reading it again. i understand rhetorical devices, messages, themes, symbolism,,, i understand the book on a technical level when it comes to the artistry of how it's written. but i, for the life of me, in the moment, simply cannot fathom a character's thoughts and feelings

comics are only a little easier bcs they have added help of drawn depictions of thoughts and feeling, but even then it can still be hard. i just can't enjoy the same literature many ppl are into just cus i find textbooks n stuff more easy to read
