✯✯✯✯ The Red Draggy who rawrs, hugs and is open for commissions presents... ✯✯✯✯ Happy new year friends and fellow fluffybutts! I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! As per usual, every year we try to better ourselves and work on new things and leave things in the past. What does this mean for me? I plan on doing lots of new things and working on a lot of new projects. Some that even include all of you! What's the meaning of this all? Well, let's see.
I plan on leaving a lot in the past. I want to leave all my sadness behind in 2024. I was a little bit of a mess all over the place in 2024. I might be bipolar? The happy/sad type. Not the angry type. Nobody needs drama! I started attending therapy to help me cope the death of my mother almost 3 years ago now. We were VERY close, though up until I left home to be with my now husband, things were confusing. BUT, that's not the point. I'm leaving all the sadness in 2024 and focusing on living my life and doing the best job I can at being me! Goodbye sadness! Begone!!
What's 2025 got for me? Branding, BRANDING, BRANDING! I plan on putting myself out there 1,000% more. No more social anxious dragon. VRchat, unhinged posts, out of the box art, videos, streams, fursuit fridays, discord server events and most of all, what I'm excited for the most, MERCH. THAT'S RIGHT YOU HEARD ME, MERCH! We've grown together as a community over on Twitch and Discord, I feel like it's time to get READY AND RAWRY and put our image out there! Want a rawry hoodie? I gotchu fam. The dergiest desktop pad? Totally pog. A thirsty dragon mug? Girl, I know you're thirsty for me~ I'll be launching a RedBubble store here in the coming future so WATCH OUT! My name is Red and I'll be your host tonight! Rawr!
As some of you may know, I'm also in the FURloid community and for my anniversary last year, I did a soft and special redo of my UTAUs Arago, Aragi and Idurisu, but was met with harsh criticism, judgement and gatekeeping. You see, I'm a classic CV user. I'm not all that into the VCV scene. I even have plugins to change USTs and VSQs into CV format. When I put all my heart into creating a new ACT2 vb for my loved singing children, it was shot down and I almost felt like retiring from the community as a whole. CV lives matter too! So I stuck around and I'd like to do something this year too as it'll be the 13th anniversary of my wonderful little singing goobers. Sure, they might not have the same quality as the magnificent Teto Kasane, but they're mine and they have personality and are different!
Anyways, I hope that you all have your own resolutions and are trying your best every single day! Nap when you need to, drink lots of water, eat something filling and take care of yourself! What are you looking forward to this year? Tell me in the comments below! I appreciate each and every one of you! You got this!
