WELL HELLO HELLO.

I've been doing too much travelling! I'm in Florida right now!! I started typing this on the train on WEDNESDAY!!! I'm TIRED!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, I'm settled now. Recap time I guess. Yappuccino incoming

The week prior to TMG, I went hiking with @coby and @BrandyBuizel. I sit on my ass all day so hiking isn't really. my thing. But I DID IT and I DIDN'T DIE IN THE WOODS so that's worth celebrating? I guess!!!!!??????

I'm very afraid of heights. This wasn't even the peak. Sick view tho

I never got out much until recently. Plus I'm more of a swimmer than anything else so for like half the year I don't really get to do anything LOL. But again, I can probably list this as an accomplishment, especially for baby's first hike.

I do feel super embarrassed about the fact I kept having to make frequent stops because my weak little legs weren't used to four hours of climbing. Aha. Haha. I still feel like a burden for slowing us down u_u

But hanging with the boys is always good, we got ice cream after ^^

And then, TooManyGames........ I made a huge fuss about not being able to come because I was planning to go to Florida before the day of the con, but then things happened and I ended up being able to go after all, yay.

BIG thank you to @Teethtesty for the ticket ^^

I got lost around the con so once again I was late. What if I killed myse

I found everyone eventually though aaaaaa, ran in grabbed stickers grabbed a couple posters said haiiii got some autographs signed some things, the usual.

I know @YendorNG did like a little interview and I was a camerashy mess that didn't know how to decline so I was awkward as fuck and I kept fumbling and bumping the mic and I feel SO bad about that akjshjkahskhdk

Got a pack of trading cards and whaddya know, nabbed the elusive @TomFulp card. Got it signed too~

This is definitely one of the shrigma moments of all time.

After the NG Meetup time was over I wandered around with @disconnecty tailing me :V

I was waiting for the AVGN meet n greet but then the line was capped so I missed that too AHKJAHS but it's okay. I have an absolutely abysmal sense of direction so I wasted time wandering around the place in circles before actually finding the area James was supposed to be. That's my fault. Eto blehhh

I'm so happy I was able to meet @ricksteubens @manlypotato and @Bleak-Creep especially! @praise-bob says hi, she's super jelly

One day we'll get her up here I swear to GOD

I was happy to see @Kekiiro too!!! Thank you for the yummy stickers I eated them because I love them so much

Seeing @DoobusGoobus was a surprise, who invited my man blud

I'm JK it was cool to see u too dude

Went to the Perky again, got me a borger. Yum. Squeezed into a table with Coby, Brandy, @kastozx, @MisMash, and @IvanAlmighty

After that, back to TMG for a bit, chatted with some fellas before leaving. Stopped at Wawa for a bit, there Coby gave me an album of every trading card from Pico Day! Rendering the previous victory kind of moot but hey, I still have the autographed one >:)

Saturday I went to NYC, not for Newgrounds-related reasons though gomennn

Idk if we have any OSC people in the audience, but they were having a BFDI/II event over there, and a dear friend I've known for a whole decade now was in attendance. He lives all the way in Southeast Asia, so of course I had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet him in person!

...Idk why I'm being vague about it. He's katyj98 on YouTube, and hopefully I've convinced him to join NG :P We'll see, we'll see...

Sunday, another hour and a half long drive right back to Pennsylvania. Because I love to torture myself. But for good reason:

I'd been very annoying about wanting to visit the Newgrounds Office, and now that dream has come true. And I can finally stop being annoying about it. HOORAY

I wish.. I was more social. I can say hai ^_^ and greet people and all that but I'm not great at carrying convos with people I'm not 10000000% comfortable with.. anxiety thing probably idk. I tended to stay in a spot and eavesdrop, I think. That or scurry around to another spot like a little mouse. Ahaha.

I'll drop the signature haul here :P

I also got cards doodled on :P

At the end of the night, a group of us went to Wawa before going our separate ways. And I hit the jackpot.

They're besties.

I was,, very apprehensive about asking about the coveted Tankman figure. Because I'm already scared of annoying people despite doing that all the time anyway, and I didn't want to bother Tom too much ahdhjskd

But you miss 100% of the shots you don't take or something. So I did that, and I had already prepared for him to decline, but here we are!!!!????

Thank you so much twinsieeee~ This is leagues better than a ball! I'll never ask for anything ever again.

Hopefully

So, uhhhhh

Normally I have pics of STICKERS and GOODIES but because I had to start preparing for Florida like immediately after I got home I didn't get a chance to lay everything out for a pic. aaaaa gomennnnasorryyyyyyy I do appreciate them all!!!!!!!!

So... Shoutouts! Woohoo

@Dungeonation @CaptainStevie @RavioliBox @kiyo @Cortat-G @GirZiggler @squidly @DAMOCHINE @LeviRamirez @Bill @Slimygoo (who I missed, again,) @MechanicalMantis @seven @KingCrowned (ty for the wooden Thing and Gooble and also Kangaskhan) @ErasmusMagnus @BeefyThunder @Figburn @PieLordCollin @PsychoGoldfish (missed you too AAAHHH) @Spinalpalm @NickSenny @ForgeFrog @Broly @ConnorGrail @DeuceLeGoose @Imprez @Chourios @MalFromed @EugeneDoesArt @starscribbling @AniSlug @MKMaffo

Tried tagging everyone I at least said hi to but agsjagjhjks my brain's been especially scrambled as of late ;-;

If I'm forgetting anybody please hit me over the head, thank you

I know Wildwood is happening but I can't make it :( Gomen :(( I'll never get to Attack marbar at this rate >:(

If I don't attend anything else this year, I hope the next is even more grand. Yippee

Now, I think it's time I finally stfu!!!!!!

HELLO HELLO EVERYNYAN

I spent all day resting... but I GOTTA get this post out, as is customary for whenever I step outside.

I already yapped a lot on Twitter (follow me if you want your timeline absolutely clogged with brainrot and retweets and the occasional yaoi drawing) and in the meetup server itself, so a lot of this is repetition, but please bear with me ^^;

First of all, as a member of the organization team, THANK YOU to everyone that came out to PICO DAY NJ and making NG HISTORY with us!! With record attendance, I'm very glad this event turned out as successful as it did!

To everyone I met for the first time, or even the second or third time, and the people I didn't get to meet at all, you all ROCK. Keep doing what you do. You're all amazing people and I'm rooting for you.

A lot of you know my story. I unfortunately came to Newgrounds during the Funkin' boom in 2021 so I am, shamefully, A Funker. But I do still think I came in at a good time, I can at least be proud to call myself part of the NEW GENERATION of Newgrounds.

I do think it's kinda crazy how in just three years I've somehow made it to the point where I was able to have the honor of helping organize THE Newgrounds event of the year!

Thank you @TomFulp, twinsie, for fostering this incredible community. Love you big dog.

Hope you like the ballpit and Tam Fulp stickers :P

...You know, when I asked for an official ballpit, you said I could have one ball... you've yet to deliver on that promise, Fulp-sama......

ANYWAY!!!!!!!

The night before! I met up with @squidly @thedyingsun and @Imprez at YESTERCADE! But a different Yestercade... oooooooh...

We had a time, then we went to Wawa and had more time, and then we had the brilliant idea of walking all the way to 7-Eleven only to arrive exactly two minutes after it closed and then we had to walk aaaaaalllll the way back...

People died, on that trek...

BUT IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOU GUYS!!

Now, what people probably clicked on this post to read for some reason: PICO DAY!

I know what I just said. I had a couple people thank me for getting this thing together, but really I think the boys @BrandyBuizel and @coby deserve all the credit wwwww, they did all the financing and paperwork n shid, I was merely moral support AHAH

I moderated the server and brought my laptops for screening the thing and demoing a game? So that's something :0 but still, y'know?

Uhhhh so! PICTURES! Obviously, it isn't a Newgrounds Meetup without SKETCHBOOK SIGNATURES!! Thank you to everyone that signed!

Special thank you to @Andyl4nd for making it out to my gf @praise-bob, she LOVES your stuff dude. I really wanted to meet you for her sake ;w;

@Lolofyr had the incredibly galaxy brained idea to make TRADING CARDS for this event! And with how successful this run of it went we'll definitely have to do them again next time. If this can be a regular thing it'd be so totally fuckin rad~

Here's my haul! I didn't get the coveted Tom Fulp card, sadly... ue, ue, ue... (sound of crying)

I'd also like to thank @MrShmoods for coming in clutch with the BOOTLEG RUN and helping everybody that missed the original deadline to submit their cards. We'd have a lot less if not for your incredible generosity. I salute thee ò_ó7

STICKERS! POSTERS!

I left out some Captains and BALLPITS for people to grab :) I was a little shy about giving out Tamas though, gomennn... But here are the stickers I collected! Thank you everyone!

I also got a Pico pin from @Mindchamber! Next time I WILL remember to get a pic with Chamber-san I swear to GOD

I got posters too! TWO Madness posters, because @Krinkels signed the extra ones left during cleanup! Thank you!

I can cross meeting Krinkel-san off the bucket list now.. I remember coming up to him, saying "God you are so fucking tall" and making everyone laugh HAHAH

Our height difference really is comical, ain't it... look at him leaning over :sob:

He signed Hank! tHANK you! I also brought Deimos to get signed by @AlmightyHans but he apparently called in sick D: hopefully next time...

Bob, that gorgeous sonnuvabitch, commissioned @novaruah to give me the SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME: a CUSTOM POSTER FOR ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

This is the greatest gift ever and I still tear up just thinking about it. I'm sosososo glad I got to meet you and @lordmagian and @EugeneDoesArt!

ALSO ALSO shoutouts to @SrPelo, always a treat seein' you, thank you so much for making the trip all the way up here! Thank you for humoring me all five separate times I approached you, thank you for giving Bob a tramp stamp, thank you for coming to IHOP with us afterwards!

We GOTTA recreate that TooManyGames photo, dog. I don't know if we'll see each other this year though (I'll be in Florida), but definitely some other time. That pic is legendary, after all!

@ninjamuffin99 and @PhantomArcade signed my Boyfriend Nendo (the box LOL)!!

Cam, I forgot to shake your piss-stained hand again, I'm sorry. Dave, I love you, I knew all that crack would do you good. Thank you both for showing up!

Maybe if Dave sucked Jeff off a ninth time he would've came......... to Pico Day..............

I helped clean up :) There was litter outside you goddamn animals. Uneaten bag of chips just sitting out there in the grass who the FUCK just abandons a perfectly good bag of chips????????? And soda and gatorade and water bottles and a lighter and FUUUUCK dude. YOU'RE WELCOME.

anyway YEAH!! IHOP!!!!! WE DID THAT! A bunch of us went to IHOP at hell in the morning because that place hits different late at night. Pelo was telling half of the table about Skibidi Toilet lore. My left ear was locked the fuck in dude.

I heard another group went to a bar or sumn? Hope you guys had a good time too!

SHOUTOUTS TO MY BESTIE!! @kastozx for being my bestie <3 We ate fruits with @RavioliBox and later borgers with @RudeBoyEEE and . someone else whose name is escaping me rn I'm sorry please comment so I can edit this later :skull:

My dumb ass put root beer in my pocket and then I ran and then it spilled in my jeans and ouuhgjfhgjdkfghjk the piss stain of all timeeeeee

Shoutouts to @Thell1 who I ended up driving to IHOP and unwittingly being subjected to my music taste. I'm sorry you had to witness Lady Gaga nightcore. I always put my playlist on shuffle and pray.

I remember you said my art looks like my music taste? Somethin' like that. That's my favorite kind of compliment because I really do try to match the energy of the high speed 3 billion BPM noise bullshit I regularly listen to ^_^

Shoutouts to @Chourios!! Good to see you again! I get shy around u a lil bit but I'd love to talk with u more :sob:

Shoutouts to @Deadlycomics, so cool meeting you!! Hope you had a good time!

Shoutouts to @Owen who called me Tamango. That's a new one. I am pretty fruity, huh~

Shoutouts to @disconnecty for letting me vandalize your clothing, along with everybody else :P

Shoutouts to @blakenator9872 for showing up in the funny outfit, please keep doing that forever thank you

Shoutouts to @Spinalpalm for complimenting my retweets? Idk why you people don't mute my Twitter LMAO

Shoutouts to @Spazkid, I didn't talk to you much besides just getting the signature because there were a lot of people around you but uhhh ur cool I don't know if you noticed the egg on my head lmao

Shoutouts to @KOLANI, who left his sketchbook behind and Brandy said to me, "I don't wanna deal with this, you deal with it," and so I did, and we met up at Wawa and then I got to eat villainous mac n cheese with Kolani and co. God bless y'all <3

Shoutouts to shoutouts. I'm kinda blanking now if you couldn't tell... If you want u can comment and I'll talk about YOU TOO maybe! THANKS AGAIN for such an incredible meetup! I hope to see you all again soon! If not TMG then another event, hopefully!

UM

Hi :V

Feels weird typing "normal"(i.e., capitalizing my sentences). I only really do this in formal settings, when I'm not doing the "silly little critter" schtick. Maybe I'll drop it later.

...Is it a year-in-review thing? I don't really know. I just know I've seen a couple posts and wanted to do my own, because I am a SHEEP that must follow the crowd. Or something.

I dunno, usually I'd say "I don't got a lot to say" and then vomit up the most incomprehensible word salad you've ever seen that amounts to a whole lot of NOTHING so.

We'll start off with the art summary so the pretty colors can keep you engaged hopefully:

I'm upset I missed a month but said month was dedicated to finally (re)starting my passion project, so it evens out I guess?

Now onto the sob story. I've never had a good sense of time so the year feels like a mishmash of two or three years. Where am I.

I'm not sure I had a good start. I started college, against my will, really, so the first half of the year was miserable and stressful because I had to move to Jersey and not take any of the classes I wanted to take, because nothing was really planned besides "you're gonna come up here and attend uni you useless piece of shit".

It was either that or finding a job. So I applied to jobs and none of them wanted me. And instead of waiting a little bit to get everything in order I had to go NOW RIGHT NOW because the start of the semester was mere days away.

I did get a job, for a little bit, but when you're Me and your parent doesn't believe in your Very Real Social Anxiety Problem a cashier position isn't very fun. Especially in the area I was in.

So that was stressful and it sucked and I failed math and honestly? I didn't think it'd get any better. I'd just have to survive for as long as I'm stuck up here, without any friends or anything to really Do besides go to school and fend off the thoughts about wishing I was either Dead or someone else entirely: someone that had their life together, someone that could function in society, someone that wasn't a fucking disappointment waste of space.

And that was the cycle for a long, long while. I'd draw because that's the only thing I knew I was... okay at. And it helped, I guess, it served as comfort. That and my online friends. But I was still lonely.

But then, TooManyGames happened. And it was in Pennsylvania. I've been to Pennsylvania, bit of a long drive, but I could absolutely make it if I wanted. Probably. Maybe.

The problem is I'm a pathetic little doormat that can barely handle so much as a family gathering. But I wanted to try, because some people I admired were there, and if anything I could at the very least get a selfie or a signature in my sketchbook to flex on my friends with.

Even though I was late to the main event(three-hour drive + heavy rain + traffic +unlucky + L + ratio) I still did get to meet the people I admired, so that was good.

Shoutouts to Tom, Pelo, and the Funkin' Crew in particular... I'm too shy to tag but I just think you guys're super cool and I... idolize...? you, maybe "idolize" is too strong a word but I can't think of a better one at the moment. I was a horrible anxious awkward mess but it meant a lot just, getting to snap silly little selfies. Ehe.

I'm sad I missed the Toronto meetup but I'm still quite new to the whole "going places further than like thirty minutes from the house" thing. Maybe next year...?

Love Me Newgrounds 2 was a thing! What a time. It had been brewing for a long while but it finally released in the summer, so I'll mention it here. Although I didn't contribute as much as I wanted but school and everything else had me fucked UP.

But regardless, getting to unleash that onto the site was fun. Feels good to see a project finished, y'know?

Shoutout to the Newgrounds Summer Festival, I got to animate for the opening again yayaaaay~

I loved seeing the server active again... I love friends...

I owe everything to the folks running the show for giving me such a warm welcome to Newgrounds back in 2021? I know that wasn't TOO long ago but I still cherish the memories. Is that too... sappy? Sorry. I get emotional easy, if it wasn't already obvious.

What else... oh! There was the meetup at Yestercade, and that was really fun ^_^

I'd gotten over some of the nerves by then... Still a bit shy but I did have a good time! So uhhh YAH

Shoutout to @kastozx because I'm still like, genuinely surprised you of all people wanted to hang. I still mourn the near-death of Catboy Dave Sculpture WWWW I'm still so fucking sorry AAAAAAHHH

Shoutouts to @CaptainStevie @dungeonation @cheddarexuberant as well uwu

I was so caught up in the euphoria of Going Outside I also went to DerpyCon to watch Newgrounds cartoons with the Fellas @Imprez @NickSenny @septicsebi @Wegra @disconnecty @studiosnowlion (I think that's everyone? help)

Loved that. Love to hang out again whenever :>

THEN I went to a little convention with @BrandyBuizel !! And I met @coby too, and we tied Brandy up and forced him to watch the FNAF movie with us :D

From there we've been hangin' out pretty regularly... Is it okay if I get sentimental?

I'm a lonely person, and very slowly I think I've started to come out of my shell a little. Maybe not a lot, but I think just, having somewhere to Be and things to Do besides staying at home all day is a huge step up. Social anxiety is a bitch and I still haven't really grasped the concept of "I'm not as insufferable as I think I am and people do want to spend time with me and enjoy my company", but again, just going out on weekends is a huge deal to me. So, thank you, for including me and inviting me out to places to just dick around for a while, it truly means a lot.

I don't really know, who I can call my friends. Because I consider a lot of people my friends, but I don't know who thinks of ME as a friend back, y'know? But hopefully, it's okay, if I can call you guys my friends...

Um

Yeah hahah

Finally, as briefly mentioned under the art summary, I finally started remaking my comic BIRD OF PREY, so I'm proud of myself for that, hehe. I have, many ideas in my head. I hope people enjoy what I conjure up next.

Oh, I also hit 1,000 followers on Twitter and 600 here, so I'll count those as little victories too. Hehe.

So, um, while the year started off kinda shitty, I think things started looking up toward the end. So that's good, I guess.

Hopefully things are good next year. We'll see...

If you made it all the way down here I'd appreciate if you said happy birthday to my little brother, he LOVES newgrounds and he turns 11 tomorrow!!! Thank you ^^

you won't mind if i gush about every time i emerge from my little mouse hole to Socialize with people right. going outside is a very big deal for a tiny little tama

big thanks to @brandybuizel for organizing the thing!! yay. you forgot to carry me on your SHOULDERS YOU BITCH but its ok i still love u heart emoji sparkling heart emoji. you're forgiven... for now...

now that i'd experienced a meetup once before the nerves had died down quite a bit, and i felt more comfortable around everyone and free to be Mentally Fucking Ill in public. everyones so chill putting up with my bullshit :)

i dont have many photos this time around... my hands were often occupied by Bob Velseb Plush and/or my giant ass sketchbook and i just Forgot. people kept looking through the sketchbook and i was screaming and crying and begging for them not to look at the Yaoi. they saw sanford madnesscombat's titties.

speaking of sketchbook: the doodle/signature collection!!

thank u all for Vandalizing my pages. this will continue to happen

a lot of us made STICKERS!!!!!!! sticker trade was like, a big part of this event. we love stickies. my laptop is now covered in them, and i have like 50 million extras i still need to figure out what to do with :sob:

i met hatsune miku in The Real...

got pics with @phantomarcade3k, who towers over me

however he was kind enough to amputate his own legs so i could feel tall for once in my life. i shouldve taken the opportunity to ruffle his hair here but i'm a pussy ass bitch so

got the toomanygames poster so i finally dont feel like a dumb idiot loser anymore

and a chompy from @squidly !!!!!! my sweet baby... his name is Concrete

went out to his car the dark of night and exchanged cash for this Thing he grabbed from the trunk like a drug deal. like this was the absolute shadiest possible way you could buy a plushie. 10/10 would complete plushie transactions like this again

now, a list of fond memories uwu

• the fucking fourteen year old that was taller than me what the HELL
• screaming ARIGATOU, TOMOYO after the group photo with the flag, earning me more strange looks from the Normal People that were unfortunate enough to exist in the same space as a newgrounds meetup. and also possibly the newgrounders themselves. im very quirky
• petting catboy dave sculpture. it is a sacred artifact
• not as fond of a memory, more like a Trauma, but i almost fucking broke said sculpture but luckily he survived unharmed, if any damage had been done i wouldve like actually killed myself in front of everyone i swear to fucking god
• seeing dave do the anime ass kitty nya pose
• @CheddarExuberant and i making our bob velseb plushies kiss
• not breaking eye contact with the mario painting in the bathroom while pissing
• playing in the groove and fucking up with the wrong difficulties like twice because we're idiots i guess with @disconnecty. i know you exist now. grips your shoulder through the screen. i also really appreciate your little commentary on my art!! ahhhhh thank you for your Words
• an intense match of stick hockey where the puck got stuck in an unreachable spot for way longer than it should have. fucked up really. brandy and i won though so >:)
• @NickSenny getting me addicted to pinball
• air hockey against brandy, i am very bad at it, i got a 3-point lead and proceeded to fumble so hard i'm so cringefail at everything i do WHY
• i dropped my fucking pocky. i felt like that one vine

idk how to end this post AHAH

arigathank u all... hope to see everyone again soon!!!!!!!! if not soon then just, at the next ng meetup :D

an opportunity to promote myself >:]

really i just wanted to say im super excited!! i like doodling up comics so multi-image support is gonna be so fucking good. still working on bird of prey, but i hope to share more fun stuff with my characters like oneshots ^^

i'd also just like to bump some oldish comix now in the updated format~

(between us: i have ideas for a third shellshocked comic. but idk if it'd be... too dark for people's liking. i like pretending im normal)

ok byee see u next time i feel annoying HEHE

i basically did my recap under tom's post but fuck it imma do it AGAIN!!! yay

so. baby's first convention. what a time. had to keep telling people i was tamago but with a zero at the end!! because im cool and original like that. dungeon suggested i ask tom my bestie twinsie ever for the original user but i do like the 0... so i stuck with it :V makes the signature ever so slightly cooler i think

i was only there friday but it was the best goddamn friday istg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i drove like three fucking hours and it started pouring around the halfway mark and i ended up arriving an hour after the main event :sob: they called me up for my dog tag and i wasnt there to claim it ahhh i feel so embarrassed,, but i was thankfully able to grab it after!! sad i missed the posters tho :(

a good chunk of fellas were gone by the time i arrived... im sad i didnt get to meet all of yous!! @Dungeonation especially bc this goober kept thinking other people were me LOLLL theres always next time i guess :0 but i had a blast with the fellas i did meet!

why is everybody so tall btw why cant i get some of that. stop being tall. if i had more confidence i would've asked someone to carry me on their shoulders HAHA

...next time.

anyway!! pictures!!!!!!!!! this is kind of a face reveal wow. i'm just as tiny and pathetic-looking as i've always described <3

first things first i met god (@TomFulp)

forgot to get a signature but he vanished before i could get over my initial nervousness............ hope to chat with you a bit longer someday, fulp-sama... uwu....

youre gonna see me do the peace sign in all of these bc i genuinely dont know what to do with my hands </3 (maybe i shouldve asked for a hug LOL)

i wandered around a bit tryna find someone to stick to because i shrivel up and die if i'm by myself too long :weary: i kinda just hovered behind groups of ppl for the most part WWWW

maybe i should've tailed brandy...

found @SrPelo in the vinny line. and then i left. and then i found him outside the vinny line later. and then i stared at him from across perkys and had a fun chat w him n some other fellas :) we talked about primos n shid. he pulled out a hannah montana PSP game. i could hear his laugh over all the noise pelo i love u <3

btw thanks for giving me an extra sticker!! my little brother is a HUGE fan of u he's gonna love it

fucking tamers was there i lost my shit dog... tamers12345... he told me to watch sonic underground... u know i will zestie...

was too shy to take photos with a lot of ppl but i wanna quickly shout out some ppl i did say hi to!! fistbumped @BrandyBuizel and @IvanAlmighty so that was neat :3 i was kinda scared of yous but ur actually really nice ^^

brandy, i mean this in a nice not-weird way i swear, but you have a kind face. i wanna say cute but i feel like that sounds weird :sob:

i briefly met @Raviolibox and signed her book! forgot to ask you to sign mine though aaaa ;A;

i saw @emizip around like three times but my dumb ass never said anything to you i regret it so much </3 my brain would go "ENA COSPLAYER!! cool :)" and then i didn't think to like, at least get a picture. fuck dude :weary:

@squidly !!! you!!!!! i signed the chompy plush!!! and then i introduced myself to you again at perky cuz im a fucking dumbass HJKDSHDKJ

@ErasmusMagnus glad i got to meet ya bestieeee had a nice chat at the food court. ur white ass didnt understand me saying "pelo" with the accent and i think that was funny WWWWW i wish u came to perkys... coulda squeezed you in the booth. i'm very small there was def room for one more. there was a "one more" but then they vanished and i have no clue who that was. all clad in a mask n shit. mysterious... anyway

im tryna remember who sat with us back at the food court uhh. i think @elikapika and @thatrozebudguy ? forgive me if im misremembering kdjsfhjk

i did some more wandering around like a scared, lost puppy. did some window shopping bc i gotta save money to get to florida like, next month. i saw someone with a Rei Chiquita™ and asked them if they got it from the con or elsewhere. it took a few seconds but my neurons activated and i realized YOOO THESE R NEWGROUNDERS TOO!! hello again @PieLordColin and @JonMastu :D

later people were meeting up at perkys. i wasnt really planning on going, but i figured it's a very short drive and i could get dinner so why not?

place was packed. very noisy. ouuuughh and i get sensory overload so. kinda scary!!!!! i just kinda loitered around the full table waiting for a space to open up. ended up sharing a booth with @MSGhero, @D-slick and @chourios i believe :0 i have a tendency to mumble so making convo was a little hard since i had to repeat myself but it wasnt all that bad! i did enjoy myself ^^ had a smoked pork cheesesteak. was p good, i kinda wanted to steal one of dslick's wings tho

msghero asked what my favourite sketch in my sketchbook was. i showed him furryutah. i also showed dailycatboydave the furryutah drawing. i regret nothing.

after eating we moved up to where more ppl were n kinda split off into the other groups. i mostly just listened in on other convos www. ivan passed the fuck out for a while lmao

i said bai!!!!! to brandy when he left actually for real but i dont think he heard :sob: i did a big wave n everything fdhsjkh

mr muffin @ninjamuffin99 was there!!! i didnt recognize him until he signed my sketchbook HJKDSHKDJ

he came back from the restroom like "hey i just saw you on twitter lol" n we had a nice lil chat :] i shook his sweaty, sweaty hand and we got a photo together ^^ this is my favourite pic bc of pelo in the back HDJKSHD u can see me laughing... my biggest smile of the night,,,

from there it was more just listening to people talk and getting a couple more signatures before leaving at like. 11:30 ish? sometime after that. i ran into the funkin crew outside! glad i wore the week 7 shirt hehe. and i got a photo with the guys!! @PhantomArcade is holding it hostage tho. dave. bestie. send the pic to me you prommied :( or else im gonna keep annoying you :skull:

i shouldve taken a pic of that parking job even after you "fixed it" to blackmail you smhhhhhhhhh

(i kid. i can't be mean or i'll cry)

hope the big man is doing well himself uwu !! have a good one fulp-samaaaaaaa

of course it happens during my inactive period

umm HAI!!! its me! im the special boy today! idk if youre really supposed to like. make a post for this but idk ive seen some of my friends do so, so uhhhh

art thingies're gonna be a bit slow for a while. i just started college and idk what the hell im doing so :( im just a little baby tama ouuuhh the world is so cold and hard aaaaaaaaaa

i wish i could say i have BIG EXCITING THINGS but :V

BIRD OF PREY is still in the works, i have a coherent-ish plot ready so now its just a matter of drawing the fucking pages ahshsjjajfjd. the tapas link on my page is the old version n im keeping it there at least until i get this new prologue out. its old and cringe but i think it'll be fun to compare it with the reboot :]

im also a part of a dinky lil collaborative project but i cant really give details on that one publicly so shhh

that's... it, really? uh, commissions are still open and would be greatly appreciated so i can like. buy myself food n shit. i bought a lil sandwich for lunch the other day n the shit was like ten bucks. im a little fetus baby i dont have that kind of money!! what da hell!!!

anyway yeah thank u if u read all this nonsense garbo hehe :D cant wait to fade into obscurity again tomorrow woaaahh

i hope tom gives me a little kith on my

forehead for being the specialest boy

what a year huh LOL

ignoring the BULLSHIT that happened to me like losing a car and job and still not going to college like my family expects me to, i sure had A Time

i even added @Praise-bob to my harem and gently persuaded her to join NG HAHAH

while i didn't participate in many projects i still think it'd be good to look back at the small things i did do, i see em sorta like uhh baby steps towards a bigger goal :0

i started the year with a banger, i think :) being able to do a small part of the NEWGROUNDS WINTER FESTIVAL OPENING!! i joined newgrounds in 2021 and the summerfest was right around the corner! there i met so many wonderful people in the community and made some SUPER COOL FRIENDS!!!! YAY

a little while after, the server held a valentines/white day event, where we were split up into teams to create something for said holiday ^^ my team conjured up this silly little animation! some.. bumps in production but we sure did something HAHA!! i still enjoyed workin on it with da fellas ^^

the other teams made some amazing cool games u should check out if u havent!!

as u all know i share a birthday with mr fulp-sama himself so we're basically twinsies! getting a "happy birthday" from him was such a great feeling HJDKGSHJD, if it weren't for pico day usually falling on april 30th i'd totally campaign for a silly funny tam/tom day LOL

and speaking of, for pico day i participated in a fun collab animation! while i wasn't able to go hard with my segment due to time constraints and life being a bitch, i'm still happy with my contribution! and we won $50! wow! the team split the monies n i think most of us just put it back into newgrounds with the supporter status :D

i unfortunately wasn't able to participate in this year's tankfest :( but thats ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!! again while i didn't really do a lot collaboration-wise i hope i can do more in the future :3 if i keep doing what im doing i can only get better and then i'll be able to join the cool peepz doin the COOL THINGS!!!!

so ya!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
