First things first: I changed my username!!!! After more than a month I'm pretty sure people figured lmao

But secondly. I wanted to throw out a quick notice that I'm going to continue being largely inactive in the art/writing sphere, meaning this account likely won't be updated frequently for the foreseeable future. There'll obviously be some stuff here and there but I'm not prioritizing things like adding code to profiles, cleaning up my folders, or even posting the art I make publicly right now. I'm still very open to communication, however brief, though I may take a minute to get back to you. Be aware of that and thanks to everybody for their patience already.

Without getting too personal, I've noted that I'm not really happy with where I am right now, generally speaking. I want to change that. I'm making a gradual shift towards focusing more on my real life and I'm starting to feel pretty good about where I'm going. Obviously, that change is gonna require a lot of the attention that was previously given to this online space, so I'll kind of be evaporating again. At least for the time being! I'm just working it out right now.

I love you all! Sorry for any sparse messages or anything, but more importantly, thank you for sticking with me. I know I can be frustrating at times. I see the effort you all put in though, and it matters a lot to me. I'm thinking of you.

(i may also post more code at some point. i likea the)

My characters are unfortunately largely on hold and waiting for redesigns <:) so the list this year is altered to reflect that. I still love these boyes and want them drawn though,
AND I'M NOT BACKING OUT ON A CHANCE TO DRAW FOR ONE OF YOUS, so without further ado:

1. Judy Bloo

PLEASE I HAVE SO MUCH BIAS I LOVE HER!!! She's a recently rehomed adopt that I have yet to get into the RP scene but have given much, much thought. She's from the late 19th century, is extremely caring and doting, and has a weirdly wholesome adoration for anything and everything related to the process of death and death itself. (She may get lightly redesigned later to better reflect the time she died, but the change will be outfit only.)

Suggestions: She loves the undead! If you have an undead character that can tolerate her droning affection, you can absolutely draw them interacting.
A setting she'd love to be in is the Memoria (witch's memorial/great mawa graveyard).

2. Shiner Beaterupper Wurlburg
ough my friends let me tell you...this guy deserves so much art! Until I can pull myself up by the drawing bootstraps, I'd love it if you could give him a doodle.
PLEASE NOTE: He has a new reference in the works, but it isn't too far off from his old design. He's a safer bet than Sasha is in terms of making sure your gift art remains true to the design after January. 
EDIT: HERE'S HIS NEW REF! its not all done lmao but it's good enough to show!

Suggestions: Shiner adores his brother but Tenpenny already has SO MANY IMAGES. It's for that reason that I recommend a shot of Shiner either alone or interacting with any of his other pals (all listed in his links).

3. Sasha Spirit

ONCE AGAIN I LOVE A WOMAN. Sasha lives and breathes for a lifelong project known by many as "The Spirit and Spectre Institute of Soul Searching" or just "the Institute". If it isn't about her work or a topic that will eventually further the Institute's constant development and expansion, don't bother. PLEASE NOTE: Her redesign (as well as Sid's) is also in the works and she may end up looking pretty different after January.

Suggestions: She's extremely close to and in a coven with her hermit colleague, Sid Spectre. He also doesn't have a lot of images, so feel free to draw them together.
You can also draw Sasha with any science type of yours—she would love to collaborate (>:)c)!

Thank you in advance for the time you'll be spending on whatever kind of piece you create! This year's been rough and really dedicated to recovery, but we can end it on a high note by supporting one another in whatever way we can, including things that may seem small like gifting art. No matter what you make, the time and care you put into the work is alone worth all the appreciation it receives and more. Hope you're as excited to draw for me as I am to draw for whoever I get!

hay y'all! here are my top picks for this year:

3. https://toyhou.se/8902248.sasha-spirit Science queen. She's very new and I'd be v v appreciative of another pic for her gallery!!
1. https://toyhou.se/8294481.eliana Plant baby. Designed cutely, which was a mistake, because she's now my one true brainrot oc.
2. https://toyhou.se/8221053.twooh Water baby. Also a brainrot oc. They love their friends and WILL fite!!!

thanks in advance to you who got me as your gift givee! if you're at all worried about the quality or your style or anything like that, don't be. what matters is that you put in the effort to give someone in your community any kinda gift, and that, my friend, is the truest gamer strat of all.
