~Hey guys, ladder's loose again

I've got an idea I'm excited about!

I saw some gachapon charms where they had a hook on the top and the bottom, so you could collect them and chain them together! It was a blind bag Deltarune one of course to try and chisel money out of people, but I really liked the idea of being able to chain things together, so I did some designs!

( Ladies of course are first )

Also updated the stalker fic! More spooky things happen, haha. My cold is mostly gone, although I have this annoying dry cough. :/

slipping time

december seems to be going by really really fast and thats the best i can hope for ok???!!

i watched a horror movie called "man finds tape" (2025) today and honestly enjoyed it. at first i wasnt even paying attention but it asked that i give it a little more consideration and i had fun. it felt like a very american version of a koji shiraishi production, or at least a very inspired-by production. though i think i prefer shiraishi's typically one camera shooting. but thats neither here nor there. its a little bit cult panic, very monsters among us. it raises a lot of questions on its way to answering like one or two it started out with but like in a fun suspend your disbelief low budget horror way. but theres also several automotive accidents and a few slit throats in it so i know a few folks who would not have fun. still. i did.

working on some paintings and getting anxious/excited about ANE!!

started playing night in the woods but literally havent even met gregg yet so Started is all ive done

my buddy rickfox came down for a few days and brought me coffee and a mug they had made for their own comic project and it was really nice to see them, chill out with them, etc. i guess i really wish i had friends like them around my neighborhood!!

tried to get my scooter started to burn the old gas in the tank but it didnt seem to wanna va, so i wait until a warmer day (which hasnt come yet) and try again.

deconstructed the 50gal fishtank because only one lonely sad fish remained. she's now in a 5gal, its better for her in terms of cleanliness and food access and also humans pass it far more often for stimulation. she's the last remaining fish with many old scars from infections she recovered from, abt 9 years old. good return on a 35 cent investment. what we'll do with the recovered space in the living room now there's no giant tank remains to be seen.

very financially anxious, im kind of broke as a joke this month and am such a humbug i dont really see a way to quickly recoup that x.x other than work harder on stuff. which at least i can do now, it def seems like moving medication time to night has substantially helped with my fatigue issues.

hannukah starts sundayyyyyyy

~Where does Coily fit into God's plan for us?

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO should get this down now before things this month start getting really crazy, haha. December is always so busy! I'm ahead of some gifts at least, so that's one less thing to worry about. Wish this cold would just pass though. :/

ANYWAY, if you want a little holiday sketch, leave a comment here and ask for one! These will be quick, silly doodles in Sai - you may want to look at previous years for an idea of what they look like (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009). Requests are closed on January 1st, so if you want one you got to make it in December. WOOO SIXTEEN YEARS WOOOOO if i'm doing my math right. The images in the old ones are broken on Dreamwidth because they changed how they load http addresses which is very annoying. :/ I'll have to go back manually and fix those at some point uuuuughh. In the meantime you can check the LJ sister post for each year, both entries have different comments and different sketches!

A few stipulations:

-Don't ask for like a million characters. Use your common sense here.
-Don't try to trick me into drawing your kink, that's not cool. >:( At least be up front about it.
-Link me to some reference pictures, unless you know I know the source material pretty well already. Please do this, it saves me SO much time.
-One request per person. Anonymous is fine. Don't try to duck around this. You can make multiple suggestions in ONE comment for me to pick from, but I'll only do one of them.
-I may interpret your request in a way you don't expect - that's the risk you take! No refunds, haha.
-If you're too embarrassed to post the request publicly you can send me an LJ or tumblr note about it.
-If you request something I don't feel comfortable drawing I may ask you to ask for something else.
-I'm way more likely to spend more time on your request if it's something I'm already interested in.

When I finish the sketch, I'll reply to your comment with it, so don't worry that I'm ignoring you, haha. Unless its just a general chatty comment or something. I usually get them done before the New Year but no promises! I'm already starting December sick which isn't great but we'll see how things go, haha.

If you want to do something for me in return, I still pine for my poor lost hat... I really think it's just gone for good but if you did find it it'd be a Christmas miracle, haha. Anything lady-related is a good bet, or Handplates/Vargas/Defrag related as well! Larrykabu things would also be appreciated lol. If you actually want to spend money for some reason (!?), some TF2 taunts would be fun, paid time for Dreamwidth or LJ wouldn't be bad, and rare video game remix albums and stuff would be neat. But I'm just throwin stuff out there. |D

~Is that your head creaking or is it the floorboards

Blllughhhh I caught a cold at some point over the weekend and I feel out of iiittt. It's not super bad right now but it's not pleasant!

I keep meaning to make posts and then I keep getting different ideas for them, and then some of them need more set-up, and then I just get distracted or can't find the time to just sit down and write one and I SHOULD WRITE HERE MORE OFTEN. I should have at least posted pics of Gatsby now that his fur has grown back! He seems much more comfortable now, although he does yowl a lot at night. Such a loud boy. But then I have to upload the picture and it's like bluughhh OKAY FINE I'M JUST GONNA DO IT IT'S NOT THAT HARD

( Just one )

Anyway, some of the other things I was thinking of doing was - a Sims 4 post since I found where my other screencaps went (I should make some Larry and Kabu sims), a Xanth post, a sketch post, a Handplates reminiscing post, a language post... Just gotta decide on oneee although maybe when my head doesn't feel so stuffed up.

I got some little shaker Papyrus keychains made a while back, I'm not sure if I've mentioned them here before? From the blue magic comic where he gets thrown into the walls lol. I finally put them up for sale but I only had like fifteen and they sold out like, instantly. I'm gonna do a restock though! So many people were so sad not to get one, haha. Although packing them up was a bit of a chore... and I had to eat some of the shipping costs since I mis-estimated... but still! I like thinking of them out there making people happy.

I also got an idea for another little keychain, a plush one of Gaster so you can slap him around lol. I'm not sure how those'll come out, so we'll have to see. :O Gonna restock the stickers too, and get some Vargas pins. :O The Vargas pins are one of my bigger concerns at the moment... I had a lot of ideas, but I just felt like I was drawing like garbage the whole time. I did finish some little chibis but I don't know, maybe they look weird, maybe they won't make a good pin, i dunno I DUNNO. I guess we'll find out :O I'm not sure how much demand there is for Vargas stuff in comparison to Handplate stuff but I guess I'll find that out too lol.

It's hard for me to come up with an idea that seems clever enough to turn into something physical! I was thinking about a little printed notepad too, but I couldn't think of a design for it... I want Handplates AND the Ladies AND Vargas and what is the overlap there! I don't know! So I thought about maybe just a joint design with all of them on there in various corners lol. Thing is of course, I have to get a minimum of 60 little notepads, and that's a lot... particularly if I don't even know if anyone would want one. I'd like to make a Lady button too, and a Lady keychain, and I just keep drawing blanks for the designs aaa. Lately I just hate everything I'm drawing, it's frustrating. :/ I want to draw and then when I do it's just THIS SUUUUCKSSSSSS and I'm sure it's just me but it's annoying!

I should probably open the sketch requests soon too but eh I feel so tired lately, this month is always so busy. :O Just want to relax for a day or two to wait out this cold... I hope it isn't anything serious. It's not crippling or anything right now but it's only been a day or two, it could get much worse.

I've been working on this animatic based on the spooky gym sequence in the stalking fic (there's a second chapter now btw!) and I feel like it's taking forreeeveeerrrr I massively underestimated how much time it'd take. I'm only a few frames from the end though... I'm so close...

i'm telling you

hello friends n readers

ive been drawing a whole lot of nikitaks all month, busily. soon i will be finished with that. ren is doing good, snoring behind me. trying to come up with a good holiday card design right now as i write this.

went to our friends' house, leor & pilot, for friendsgiving. it was nice and the food was delicious. we watched the streamed/recorded national dogshow and i got to pet beanie the smallest tuxedo cat on the planet.

sometime next week my buddy rickfox is coming over for a pre-holiday hangout. ive got most of my shopping done cuz ive got uhh most of my money gone. still, november felt like getting a good jump on winter for me at least.

already looking far ahead to the new year. there's a spring that happens in that, or so ive been told. perhaps even followed by a summer and autumn.
