EEK it's been such a long time since the last time I've written! I will say I've been busy lately, so coding has fallen to the wayside more often than not :( But now that I've got a bit of time in the coming months, I'm hoping I can pick it back up again.
So I'm still into transformers... not very out of left field considering how much I love other media with robots in it, transformers seemed like more of a "when" than an "if-interest", you know? I still have Flashdrive, who I mentioned in an earlier post, and I've got another character called Torque now too! I've been writing up a boatload of lore for the both of them, and I'm hoping I could either draw out some of the scene ideas I've got, or even make short animatics if I have the time in the future. ^^ It's feeling like a really fun passion project plan as of now!
Here's what they look like as of now, with Flashdrive on the left, and Torque to the right. I'm still in the process of figuring out Torque's colors though...
Coming up with any kind of extended lore or backstories for my OCs is actually pretty uncommon for me, I had a period of time where I would just come up with a design, a couple brief fun facts, and leave it at that. I get why people make OC stories now.... tormenting them is so much fun... I guess I have more of a serious tone for the story I wanna tell with these guys, with some horror elements to it too, so I'm really excited to keep working on it! I have a bunch of major events for the story laid out, but I'm still now sure how I want to wrap it up... What kind of tone do I wanna send it off with? What's the message I'm trying to send by the end? It's tricky, but it makes me feel better that struggling with a story's ending is something so many other people deal with too.
I guess one more transformers-related thing, but I'm in the process of putting together a Starscream cosplay! I'm going for a humanized type of design for it rather than a whole mecha getup, where he's kind of like a glamorous pilot? Hopefully I can wear it to a future con this year, but even if that doesn't work out it's gonna make a banger Halloween costume >:D I've got most of the outfit done rn, but the biggest challenge coming up is definitely gonna be the jet wings... I'm kind of intimidated I can't lie, but I'll figure something out!
I actually restarted the MTMTE comics a couple months ago, since I realized I was missing so much by not reading RID alongside it. By the time I got to Dark Cybertron, I was super confused, so fuck it we ball I get to reread the scavengers arcs again :D I'm also starting to read through the Wreckers comics too, I watched a really awesome dub of Last Stand a bit ago, and I might power through Sins and Requiem later this week. I'd seen a lot of really big Wreckers fans but none of them really stood out to me except Ultra Magnus and Perceptor for a while. Now I'm getting attached to characters who get maybe five panels of screentime before they're killed off but I'm enjoying them immensely nonetheless :]
Thanks for reading + take care!

I've fallen headfirst into the new transformers interest omg... I've got an oc, i'm motivated to draw like never before, and i'm looking for a place to read the lost light comics atm! AHHH these characters are so charming, I love learning lots of little tidbits about all of them >< So far my favorite's ratchet! I just finished the issue with the engineered rust pharma made AHHHHHH it was so good!!!! i'm not super experienced with it but i kinda wanna make a ratchet photocard tbh... if i ever get around to it pics will be posted >:)

yo! I haven't posted in a while, still pretty busy >< I might pivot from an art gallery to work more on the ideas I have for my shrines, I think I wanna see that section through to semi-completion before I pick up something new- I don't like having so much half-finished stuff scattered around in here
I've also picked up a new interest since the last time I updated this, a friend of mine got me into transformers! ^^ It's been on my radar for a few months, at least since TFOne came out last year, but the mental stars didn't align until now, huh. The good thing about getting into old franchises like this is that there's *so* much stuff to sift through! I'm personally starting with the MTMTE comics, the Lost Light arc was the plot I saw the most of before getting into TF more. I love the style of the IDW comics, but I'm having trouble finding all the issues I wanna read :( I did find a really neat dub of whole issues on YT though, Team Trainwreck has some great voice interpretations for the cast! Scottish Skids wasn't something I'd thought about before but he's totally grown on me ^^
I know I've gotten in deep with an interest if it gets to the point where I'm drawing fanart, but I've never gotten into something and made an oc for it within such a short time gap ':D I made a guy named Flashdrive, they're a mishmash between a 70's Cadillac Coupe deVille and an Oldsmobile Cutlass, lmao. Maybe I'll post more about them and other ocs in the future?

Hi again, it's been a little bit! I wish i had more time to work on my site, but I've been busy with work ':P
One of the biggest things on my to-do list is finally updating my art gallery here! I've seen other sites categorize their pages by year, which is something I want to do if I find enough stuff I want to upload. I finally got a base working that opens image previews within the same window TuT (thanks W3Schools)

GAAAAHHH I've gotta rewatch Mob Psycho again this year!! I was browsing online and I remembered how good it is... And I haven't even read the manga, I feel like a poser, haha - I think it would be a nice watch to start the year off with, hopefully it'll set a good tone for the rest of 2025 ':D
There's so many mangas I wanna read this year, my list is starting to get crazy long... I guess I can start by picking three and working my way through them? And then anime's a whole other can of worms. I don't watch anime nearly as much as I used to when I was younger, but it could be something fun to get back into!
There's a couple long-standing favorites of mine that I'd actually think about getting physically! They'd have to be something that I would reread over and over, but I think they fit the bill. Every couple months I get the urge to reread Dorohedoro, and Dungeon Meshi is so well-executed that having it physically seems like a no-brainer (though it'll have to be something I do in the future, manga's so expensive...)

I've gotta watch a playthrough of Hylics 2 again... I remember getting into it a couple years ago but not finishing it all the way. It's a really cool game, even if it's kind of overwhelming visually! I've been listening to the soundtrack a lot lately and the music's just as good as I remember :')
I also found out today that season 2 of Dorohedoro is confirmed to come out this year!! SO HYPED

Finally got around to listening to Doechii's tiny desk concert tonight and my soul has left my body... The jazz instrumental... the trumpets... the guitar... everyone just looks like they're having the time of their lives!! I'll definitely be saving catfish, denial, and nissan altima for later - I've got a bunch of other songs queued up to check out too:
I need to look around for some new teas to try...

Working on this page as an alternative to Zonelets' blog post setup. There's pros and cons to having everything in one big HTML file, but this format is really well-organized imo! Here's pico in the meantime:
