So I have a pet tarantula, her name is Mushroom. And she is a cute curly hair and is so shy and sweet

unless you are a dubia roach. In which is is a freakin' serial killer. She is currently just petting the roach as this poor thing is frozen in fear.

Hey, look! A W.I.P.!

A couple of days ago, I was talking with my sister, and we were going over the reference images I made for TSAMS/TLAES. She could immediately see where I liked and didn't like certain things on the refs. So she recommended that I try making solo refs for all of them, which, honestly, it's already helping!

I've finished Sunrise and Moondrop (and combined them because why not :D) and I like this much better (especially with the little height chart in the bottom left)!

This is certainly gonna take me some time (mainly the line art takes the most time), but I like how this is coming along thus far!

this is just what happens when you're the very energetic son of a photographer who left when you were a kid and instead of being normal about it you latched onto the remnants of them and got into film photography and now you have a hot cool scorpio best friend/partner/roommate that you megabonded with back in high school who loves books and cats and looks great in black turtlenecks

About Judgment: In short, I think RGGS was intending to continue the series. There were indeed rumors at one point that the series would end at Lost Judgment due to a disagreement with Kimura's agency, Johnny & Associates, about porting the games to PC--I'm unclear on why, there was speculation but I don't think it was ever stated. Obviously the PC ports are out now, so either that wasn't the issue or they moved past it. There's also just general disbelief around there being a third entry simply because there's this idea (joke?) that Kimura never does three of anything, which isn't true at this point. It is true RGGS historically hasn't done three of anything in terms of spinoff series (Kurohyou, Mobile+Kizuna, and arguably Kenzan+Ishin), but it's also true that none of their past spinoffs have been as successful as Judgment, and we're seeing a lot of "firsts" from the studio lately. The fact is that Yokoyama himself said something along the lines of "and of course, we won't forget about Judgment" (not literally, just the closest English expression I can think of that can be misinterpreted in the way I'm about to explain) while talking about future works. But for some reason, people took it as if he meant it "in mourning" rather than an obvious confirmation of more to come, I guess? A TV show was also announced, so I really don't get why they'd invest so much into a series they were going to end. I know Kurohyou got a show too, but this seems different. Anyway, that's the most recent information, but it's from some years ago. There is a major new development, however: J&A talents' contracts are being cancelled left and right as of the last couple of months due to the agency's dogshit handling of and response to an investigation into Johnny Kitagawa's serial abuse of allegedly hundreds of his talents. That's been going on since the man died in 2019, basically, but a lot's happened this year.

This has left the talents with the incredibly tough decision of either remaining at an agency that refuses to even change its name and is rapidly breaking down or leaving. It has historically been very difficult to do the latter. On top of what you'd expect, J&A controls their talents to an insane degree and has leveraged their control of the media to suppress the careers of those who leave.

Broadly, in terms of how media companies have responded so far, I understand not wanting to associate with J&A and that J&A would likely benefit from the contracts more than the talents, but it still feels like the talents are the ones being punished... I have to imagine at least some of them were victims, so to be victims of the blacklist on top of that... That, and some of these companies kept the truth from coming out for decades.

With J&A losing its foothold in the media, though, there may be no better time than now to leave the agency. I don't know if Kimura will--rumors have been circulating ever since his idol group were forced to break up years and years ago, but while they all went independent, he never has--especially because a lot of seniors like him feel a responsibility to stay and change the agency for the better. As of right now, I'm not aware of Kimura's contracts getting cancelled, so I can't say one way or another if that'd have an effect.

I don't know what happens from here. I'm not sure if RGGS will look at it as collaborating with J&A or with Kimura or both, and how they'll factor in what's going on right now into working with him. Hypothetically, it would be possible to continue the series even without Kimura (any of the other mains do or would make great protagonists), but at the same time, Judgment is hugely reliant on Kimura's charisma. That's why people who play the dub (or people who don't like Kimura) often come away with the impression Yagami's kind of a dick or doesn't stand out much.

So... that's the state of Judgment right now. We won't know until we know, I guess.

OHHHHH OK saucy... sucks about J&A- it'd be cool if yk. they could face the consequences of their actions LMAO but that Could involve displacing hella workers now wouldnt it

now that I have been left to my own devices I am feeling anxious.

there is something so taxing about living with my parents still even though generally i have nothing to complain about. like yeah we fight sometimes, but i don’t have to pay for anything myself, they can give me a lift when i need one, i don’t have to do all the chores myself etc etc, but i find the constant need to tell them what i’m doing to be sooo soul crushing. and it’s not bc they’re mean about it or anything i’m generally free to do whatever i want i don’t have a curfew, they just want to ask where i am or where i’m going which is totally normal but i wish i could just. get up and go somewhere without telling them. just decide i want to go on a trip and do it without needing to announce my plans, and this is objectively such a non issue but for whatever reason i can’t shake this off

Month 12, day 16

Some animation work done, plus set up a couple references for a thing I did awhile ago that I want to refine :3

Program used for the references is called Magic Poser and I had to pay $10 to be able to have more than one character to play with, which is slightly annoying bc when I first got it I could do that for free and had to pay for three or more but adjkflaj;asj capitalism 🙄
