I meant to make this like earlier in the month but in usual Gene fashion I kept forgetting to do so...but yeah!

Just wanted to say, however late it is, that this year's AF was a blast and I'm glad I could participate in it. I'm very grateful for all the awesome attacks ppl sent me, though I'm just a bit sad I can't draw as much as I wanted to ;u; because yet Again my hand started to hurt (plus vacation time meant some time that I can't draw at all). Kind of worried that the hand pain is starting to become a thing, and I've been hoping to get that checked out for a while now. I dunno if I'll enter the next AF, i'll see what it'll be like when the day comes.

I've thought about making some late revenge/fanart stuff for some people I wanted to attack but couldn't, which I'm still planning to do--I've done One art so far and I've got a couple of more people in mind (though this isn't a promise I'll get to Everyone, just a few! Sorry!!) I was ALSO planning on opening some comms this month...

However my attention has been very much focused into working on my NEOCITIES again, which has gone through a lot of changes since last time--MAINLY a whole layout overhaul and the ability to change themes!! which is very neat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've also found a great template for a lightbox gallery thing, which basically lets me create responsive galleries like THIS one --> https://icecreampizzer.neocities.org/art/featured !! Definitely a lot easier to work with compared to the previous one (though there are some odd scrolling bits when viewed on mobile...I'll get to that eventually)

But yeah major layout stuff and reorganizing of things did take up a lot of my time... Which also includes a major layout change for the THEREFORE I AM bits of the site, NEW AND IMPROVED!! ALSO comes with a dark/light mode thing --> https://icecreampizzer.neocities.org/tia I'm really proud of this one, so far the cast and misc sections are updated, as well as Dr. Sunshine's and Capcot's pages!! Though they're not filled up yet, these two made for a perfect pair of guinea pigs for me to test out the style I wanted to achieve. Soon the other characters with pages will be updated as well, but I may slow it down for a few days because. WUGH that's a lot of work. may or may not be planning to update LOATM's layout as well.. Though I don't remember in what state the LOATM bits were in when I first posted about my neocities, so hey feel free to check that out as well! --> https://icecreampizzer.neocities.org/loatm

Despite the few weeks in between today and when I go back to school again, I might still open comms...I'll see if it does and I'll announce maybe a few days/a week before opening maybe?? Tho btw I want to finish some of my owed art first (feel free to reach out to me if I haven't kept in touch with you since last month for a trade, it's likely that I've forgotten about it sorry ;u;)

Anyways. TL;DR hand hurty uh AF was neat, wanted to make more art but I got distracted by neocities lmao! Mayb comms may open, maybe it won't, owed art will be delivered soon-ish and fanart is still gonna be a thing. though god knows when I'll be able to do them so apologies)
