In my last bulletin I spoke to not knowing what to do on this site given most my energy is devoted to maintaining my website, but I've come to the decision that my account here will be a sort of "mirror" of some of my work there.
I like the idea of this site (even if I haven't found my footing here) so ideally with more use I'll find my footing finally.

So anyways, here's the upcoming things I'm going to be working on:

• Port Yorkie's page from my site to here
  (Her page is already up on my site. Before porting it here, I might plus up some of the wording... I got anxiety brand analysis paralysis about sharing it, so I decided to just bite the bullet and make it public without proof-reading it over as much as I typically do, since in the moment any proof-reading was tipping into unhelpful analysis paralysis. [Speaking of, I'll be working on it on my own like I said, but if any of you happen to check it out and find a typo or something that sounds off, I'd appreciate if you let me know!])
  
• Finish Bolton's page on my site, and then port it over here also.
  (Bolton's page has taken longer to finish, to my own surprise, it turns out there's more to say about her for whatever reason!)
  
• Share the short story featuring Bolton & Yorkie that I posted on my site, onto here.
  (I mentioned the story in my last bulletin also, and I'd like to share it here... because honestly, why not!)
  
• Make pages for the members in Bolton's band: Titty Pimple
  (Part of why Bolton's page is taking longer is because I got sidetracked by making portraits for the Titty Pimple band page [it's planned to be a singular page on my site, but will be multiple here since that's how the format works].)
  

Thanks for reading, I hope you're all well!

Hi everyone! Despite the fact I've had this account for over two and a half years, this is my first bulletin.. and that's the short version of what I'm here to explain today! I've had this account for awhile, but I'm still finding my footing here. I'm a very solitary person, I made this account to go against that, and share my characters in a more public way in hopes of finding more community! But it's so easy for me to overthink things and decide to keep them close to my chest (it also doesn't help that things like NFTs, and AI art have validated my fears in a way lol). This is all to explain why I haven't kept my pages updated (I hadn't updated my profile since 2021... and I know that because it said I was 22. I'm 24 lmfao), but I'm hoping to update them now.

But ironically, the hurdle right now isn't "pushing myself to share my art", it's actually "wait, how is my account here going to be unique from my website?" Because, yeah I have a neocities website! I really enjoy working on it, it's so fun being able to customize Everything! I'm not done with them yet, but I'm going to have character pages on my site, and that leads me to the conundrum of... how do I make this toyhouse unique? Do I bring over a downgraded version of the pages from the website over here? Do I stop using this site all together??? I'm not really sure what my answer will be in the end, at least for right now I'm thinking of having this site be more "informal", like upload some sketches, give myself grace if I don't have many images of a character. Meanwhile then in contrast the version on my website is more ""formal""? I'll just feel it out over time!

On another note, in March I uploaded a short story featuring Bolton and Yorkie to my website! This is the first time I've ever shared any written work I've done, so I'd really appreciate feedback!

it's got little fun facts!! i hope you'll consider reading it 💗

But yeah! As I said, I'm going to be updating character pages in the next few days hopefully. Take everything that's on them right now with a grain of salt, because somethings have changed while others haven't.

Thank you for reading!
