And the best Knuckles the Echidna ship on tumblr is...

...KNUXOUGE!! Congrats to these two! It was a close match all the way through, but Knuxouge always managed to hold a slight lead. Whichever ship won was a victory for bisexuality and these two have had a lot of fun moments across the franchise since Rouge's introduction in 2001. Let's hope they give us more in future! To treasure hunters!

THE FINALS

This poll is to decide which is the best Knuckles the Echidna ship on tumblr dot com - Knuckles/Sonic or Knuckles/Rouge? Both ships are general to any of the characters' shared media All ships included were submitted to us. This tournament does not accept insults towards either ship - use propaganda to uplift your fave, not put down the opponent

New Hobbit Comic chapter tomorrow! In Chapter 14, Bilbo Baggins finally learns what the work of a burglar truly entails. This will be the last "normal" ten-page chapter of this arc of the comic. Every chapter after this will be part of the five-part "finale," and will be far longer and more elaborate. >:3

[imnobodyuknow]

And the winner is...

Well, whaddya know?

Idea #1 just barely snuck by with a victory!! 😀 Up next will be a Spy x Family x Non Non Biyori drawing! (Is it legal to use two 'x's in a row like that, I wonder...?)

It's time to see what happens when the cutest anime girl from the city meets the cutest anime girl from the country! Brace yourselves for a fun-filled family ooting outing, y'all!

SEMIFINAL POLLS WILL BE RELEASED TOMORROW AT 1:00

Update 2023-03-13

E-mails and order issues

Apologies for the delays in communication this past little while and thanks for all your patience! I've caught up on e-mails as of today but if I've missed yours and you're waiting for a reply, please do e-mail me to follow up!

I'll be packing and sending out orders that had issues in the next 2 weeks but feel free to follow up last week of March if you still haven't heard from me. So sorry for the wait and your understanding is much appreciated!

Membership

The current membership period will be from now until May 12, 2023 and the membership fee listing has now been updated. I'll be providing passwords for the current period starting this Saturday as I'm still wrapping up a few things from the Jan/Feb 2023 period this week.

Upcoming schedule

As I mentioned in an earlier post, IRL has been quite hectic and I've been a bit burnt out over the past little while so will be slower with new updates and group orders.

Tentative schedule:

Mid to late March - resolve order issues form previous rounds, pack and send In Stock orders

Beginning April - new pre-order group order listings will be posted

April to May - sorting and packing for next round of arrivals

Mid May - 1 week break prior to Victoria Day

Once again, thank you so much for everyone's patience with me over the past month! I appreciate the follow-ups and reminders as there's been quite a lot of issues on my plate, and while there's still quite a bit left to do, I'm hoping to catch up by the end of the month and go back to a more regular schedule in April :)

[lonesomedotmp3]

not to be an asshole but real ones knew that across the spiderverse was a two parter for months now...

[bigender-swag-battle]

Round 3 Side A tomorrow, May 22nd, 12 PM EST!! THEN, Side B will be the following day, starting at 1 PM EST!

Thanks for sticking around, and feel free to send in propaganda!

[twewytransswag]

the finals round poll will go live in ~15 minutes!

[berryliciousjam]

Long time no see/interaction 💀

So, I'm doing just fine(not really because I accidentally poisoned myself with spoiled food since last night) and I'm not so sure if I can continue the MK Lunar New Year drawing. I thought I can finish it but due to school & personal shit blocking my path—I couldn't.

Honestly I don't know if I can finish it, and I feel terrible for disappointing you all. I know I don't have to force myself but I made teasers about it so—Unless I just post it unfinished but it feels like a scam. So yeah—

I promised to myself that I finish the Lunar New Year project before February ends, so I better get my ass up and finish it!!! (Determination)

That's all. Take care
