https://toyhou.se/22086455.fav-to-enter-raffle 

I’m still trying to figure out a schedule for these again, so don’t mind the hiccups hkansjnsjs 

and additionally, I have posted some adopts! they are bta (points only) for now but I’ll open them up for other offers if the bids don't do well 👍

https://toyhou.se/22055811.cat-adopts-open 

a couple updates while I’m here!

i will be traveling (out of country) next week + the week after! i should still be fairly active, though probably not during the day

i just, 30 minutes ago, realized I left my Apple Pencil somewhere else and I won’t have it with me for another 2-3 weeks probably 💔 this is. not good because i really wanted to finish my refs and participate in artfight 😡😡 arghhhhhhhh

that being said, everything I post will probably be either onbase or a doodle in the meantime 

so yeah! hope everyone's having a good week so far & i’ll see you in a couple days!

hello!!! okay so I know I was talking about doing freebies again about 2 weeks ago-ish but it got really busy arghhh

i finally finished the school year! now there shouldn't be much to stop me now

HOW THIS FREEBIE WORKS

length - 7 days (6/18)

to win this freebie, you have to send in your theories! (about my characters, specifically)

everyone in this folder counts! https://toyhou.se/caribou/characters/folder:4036475

(+ softstep! don't forget her, she's important 😭)

the person with the closest theory to the actual story wins the freebie! (more info on this later) — it might take a bit of searching and creativity, so here's a couple hints on where to find things:

- tumblr posts

- youtube videos

- artwork in galleries

-literally anything else you can find

and please!! don't be afraid to ask questions!

if you'd like an example of another freebie like this, here is the last one I hosted : (the comments have some clues! take notes)

https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1172992.free-character-closed

depending on the comments/entries this receives, I might add more designs! in that case it would work as first place = first pick , second place = second pick and so on

happy hunting! i might edit this bulletin if I forgot something idk

hello!! I am FINALLY finishing up with finals so I have a bit of time to work on owed art 

taking some design trades now! will maybe be finished this weekend

a bit of a different twist though ! I don’t know if I REALLY need new characters you know.. (looking at my unsorted folder rn) so I’m considering taking art + (maybe) even other characters instead! (I dont know if this would count as a trade still but I don't know what else to call it) 

I'm willing to designs on this base (drawn by me) v

or simple doodle designs! (birds, maybe other animals)

(don't have any super recent examples but you can check winterr for some older ones if you want to)

anyway I’m tired! feel free to bump any messages if I missed them, and comment if you're interested! (specify if you're offering art, customs, or trades please too!) 

hello!! it's may 28, which as some of you may remember, is my birthday!

unfortunately I can't do a big giveaway as I usually do as i'm still sorta grounded (and have a LOT of work to do), but I might be able to do a lil game giveaway later so keep your eyes open !

unrelated note; i got one of those stupid seal plushies and it’s so silly

what should I name him (he looks like he is on the verge of tears)

OK hi hello welcome back to another bulletin 👍 how do you do this again help

also before we get started! if you sent me a message/im forgetting to do something, please never feel bad to bump it! I'm currently in the middle of finals stuff right now (and combined with other factors), I'm a bit of a mess at the moment organization-wise :'D 

so I have a question for you all .. 

(in a bit of the same vein as this bulletin: https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1152498.updates-new-art-style-real-question ), 

What is your favorite design of mine? 

can be from however far back you'd like! in fact, here's my old scratch account if you need to find anything older: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/_-CinnamonArrow-_/

EDIT; totally forgot to mention that this includes any designs credited to cocomelon as well!!

you can even give your reasons if you want to! 

small text 🙀

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/849271522/

scratch return jumpscare 😨 I know it's shocking right

my nostalgia dragged me back to the gaping pit that is scratch and I'm just gonna start posting whatever I want on there now 😭 I have some plans for some neat lil projects though so thats kinda cool ig

I've been trying to find neat people to follow but basically everyone I follow has left so if you guys have any recommendations let me know!! and invites are open too

so yeah! gonna be posting more often again, you can follow me if you want idk 🥲

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

bored so I’m doing a purge AGAIN (this can’t be healthy I don’t think)

you can offer for basically anyone! no preference for whatever you offer 

the first folder is mostly off-limits!!! there may be one or two rare exceptions, but take this as a general rule

-the second folder is MOSTLY off limits as well, but feel free to ask if it looks like a character is not in use

now basically everyone in the 3rd folder is up for offers! (excluding retired ofc)

*forgot the reminder again but please offer on this bulletin! messages in my inbox get buried very quickly and I usually don’t remember offers on profiles

the easiest characters to get are from these folders! 

https://toyhou.se/caribou/characters/folder:2944623 (older unsold designs of mine)

https://toyhou.se/caribou/characters/folder:2666695 (characters that have been sitting unused for nearly 2 years — they need new homes desperately )

edit again oops : characters on winterr are also for offer! 

anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! 

EDIT: new url, totally forgot to update the link whoops

https://softstepp.tumblr.com

ok hi um I'm still sorta grounded? no iPad still but I can use the computer (+ my school iPad but everything is blocked on there besides tumblr

which sort of brings me to this as I have a lot of time on my hands

talk to my cat (real) 

"ok winter but you dont have a cat. she's not real"

she's real in my heart and that. is what matters.

I'll just cut to the chase though, I made an ic sideblog because I thought it would be fun(ny)

very real and serious promotional artwork:

here is the link! 

https://www.tumblr.com/hsjnsjsnhsjhsujsbhskmahj

(the url is a keyboard spam for now as it won't let me have the softstep url .. rude) 

+ she is here to answer your most burning questions! 

(or you could ask plot-related stuff but I dont know how much I am she is able to talk about)

can’t do the full bulletin I was planning unfortunately because I don’t know when i'll be able to access a device again

sorry guys .. I’m not writing a book 😭 that was my lil april fools skit for this year

(at least we can appreciate the fact that I made promotional artwork for this whole thing 🥲) 

also I sort of lied… the actual name of the "book" is

garfield's lunch .. yeah .. (i say this because I had to change the name on the cover so it wouldn't be too obvious)

+ also i never got to talk about the "changes I made to the plot" but that was a joke too 😭 you can still ask about them but they’re all really outrageous 

anyway yeah! happy April 4th (😭) everybody, this was supposed to be posted on sunday 

(also expect minimal activity right now as i'm currently grounded :'D )
