Extremely delayed bulk update due to work, health issues, and some other things I'll touch on in a future update.

The updoot happened (almost) 4 weeks ago, but the moment it happened I immediately thought "god damn it, now I really do have to pick HM back up..."

Today is a day off, so I'm finally working on a belated bulk update... But I just now decided at the last minute that I'm not comfortable compressing images of art made for me because of how bad it looks... So hopefully my storage won't take a hit...

Weird double standard when I don't care about the dithering effect that it has on my art or official things like screenshots, but whatever.

Okay I lied, I did write the address to Neocities around the Dealer's Den at TFS yesterday and Friday lol. I'm at home resting but another great con this year, will be going back next year and (very likely / hopefully) Harmonycon in Feb n_n

I'm writing a journal to cross-post on various art sites+probably DW, but I've accepted the internet has changed. Last time I went to a con, people still used LJ. But I've been using my Bsky account even though I'm waffling on a handle (don't feel like using NC url). If I'm going to interact with local stuff I have to not be a complete lunatic, LMFAO

Side note, I'm not a Hazbinnie but there was a lot of Hellaverse stuff there... Which reminds me that even though I'm on hiatus / have creative block, a review of Hazbin season 2 is something I can confirm will happen when it drops LOL

If you're at TFS and noticed neocities.org was written down in various places in the Dealer's Den... I'm not saying it was the Capy, but...

I took the review I did for Game Change (HBO drama based on the 2008 election) offline for a few days because I finished the book last week and thought deleting it would motivate me to update with how I felt about that. It didn't, I have such little interest in upkeeping this site. Not a loss because I really want to forget about this political climate.

I'm really not feeling the love creativity-wise anymore, and the past 15 months on top of how much of a pain it is to upload/update my art, I'm really tired. This is why I've been slow to respond to emails, I'm really frustrated and tired of this sphere lately.

If I wasn't such a workaholic I'd take this as a cue to look into Github push updates, but I don't even care at this point. I'll upload art drawn for me last month some other time. Most of it is on Toyhouse minus one OC I've been hiding. https://toyhou.se/ratacombs

(The updated version of my Game Change review will go back online, I just want to post other things first...)

TL;DR: I drew too many things to repost on 4 different art sites, anyone I drew art for is free to repost it and if you use Toyhouse you can credit my account: https://toyhou.se/ratacombs

I really don't have the energy to go back and make my site completely accessible with alt tags or images disabled, but I tried to fix the latest rune anyway. Also there was a glaring typo I missed.

Organizing the original and fanart galleries makes me want to blow my brains out. Unfortunately that urge isn't enough to make me start those OC galleries I said I would do for over a year.

I spent last night running around my nearest city's gayborhood while drunk. The internet is a lot less cool than real life was 20 hours ago.
