hi!! i want to know if there's any ocs of mine you guys have been wanting to see more of on here?

I've been getting back into neopets, but I Don't really know much about the game in the first place? I only started playing about a year ago and I definitely don't play daily. I just like it because there's no pressure to it, and it's simple+ fun

It's difficult! I'm trying not to take anymore commissions or anything either until I get my current queue done.

I have 83$, but I'm trying to save up 350 for the dj controller I want. I'm trying to restrict my spending until I have all the money for it.

That's all, I suppose.

I haven't talked about it here, but I do not fw kittycorn or his fans bc of personal bias + experiences my friends had.
I'm not going to say "dni" or anything but if you still support kc after everything I do not want to be ur friend/pal
If u reclaim characters or whatever ehhhh it's ok but I get v uncomfortable w that stuff at times. I just don't want to interact w people who are still actively making fanart or anything along the lines of that.
I'm not going to get into drama I just experience heavy discomfort w the comic and it's fans.

not saying ive fallen extremely behind in owed art or anything, but I've got quite a bit. i can handle it fine, i'm just putting this here to say what I'm up to. expect more uploads of icons over the next few weeks (these sold really well) and possibly some experimental jank that i'm doing for fun alongside commission work

These are made by a fan artist but they're still cool nonetheless, right? I bought a couple (like 30$ bc of conversion rates + us shipping) and thought to share the page
I bought Rotteen and EUGENE bc they're my fave of the aliases (as of rn, lol.)

It also makes me think, if I were to make keychains and such, what would you all want for designs?
Personal characters of mine? Lapfox characters? Pokemon or Digimon? Heck, I could do Roly Polys no Nanakorobi Yaoki characters if I (and you all) really wanted. (So long as Osamu Sato doesn't sue me for them.) I'm open to other suggestions too, just put some suggestions and stuff in the comments I suppose!

I think if I were to make keychains I'd make them through a preorder system (like the seller above is) so that I don't have to deal with overstock. Like once a month for one round of designs (probably only 2 times a month total, and certain designs would come back if I didn't have new designs for a month or something.)
I think I'd try to make a design or two for a charity once a month, and all the profits from it would go to a charity.
For a while I'd probably also only be able to ship to the U.S. (money + shipping concerns) but I'd like to expand my options eventually

Hi, just a follow up to my last journal. things are ok and seem to have been figured out. i'm working on bases and adopts and such, hoping to gain a small audience or something to get some money saved up for college stuff.

I really hope one day I become a "pop designer" or whatever they're called in the adoptable community. I only hope this because designing is easy work for me and it's something I seem to be able to do mostly daily and i feel it could be a proper form of income if I were to become popular. Although I worry that this forces me into a box of designing similar designs every time I draw a little furry for fun to sell. I think this would also force me into getting a more mainstream form of social media to post on.
On that topic, I really do not like the idea of having such judgmental eyes cast on me and everything I do. I know I'm not a bad person but I worry that if I said something the wrong way or people found old, uninformed opinions of mine it would land me on a callout post or something of the like. I try to improve as a person with every day but mainstream social medias are kind of against this approach. Actually bad people are left to continue existing on the web and harming people/animals because people push away looking at the damages made by them to make fun of their appearance, art, or anything they can find that may be amusing to them at the moment.

Moving on from the art thing, I got denied to take math classes over the summer to make up for credits and got denied to take a second math class this school year to make up for credits I need for college. this made me upset and anxious to the point I don't know whether to cry or just to sit and deal with the fact that I may have to go to a community college before I end up at the college I actually like and would feel comfortable at. It's kind of devastating for me thinking about the fact I may not be able to go to the college I've wanted to go to since my freshman year of high school, as I go into my senior year of high school. All I want to do is to get a PhD in entomology. It's a newfound interest to me (my only "new interests" since 2021 have been music production/theory, entomology, and Yume Nikki. Anything else I've taken up as a hobby or personal interest is because of these interests so I consider it to be a subset of these interests, or I had interest in the topic or similar ones when I was younger.) So naturally I am upset and worried. I was invited to go to my college for an entomology event and the undergraduate leader [i]or whatever the word is[i] invited me to an event for upcoming entomology students that happens in a few days so I'm very VERY excited but I can't help be worried that I'll be denied because I'm missing that math class. I don't know what I'll do if I'm rejected. I don't know that I'd be able to cope with it well.

If I do become a popular designer one day, I'd like to use it to help pay for my college debts. As well as whatever other debts i have. maybe if i become a popular furry designer and have a nice, well paying career in entomology i can pay off my parents debts and buy them a vacation home or something. I'd really like for my dad to be able to retire and not have to work for his entire life but he has a dead end job that makes near minimum wage so I don't know that'll ever happen.

anyways. here's to my last year of high school starting on the 13th and the last year ill probably ever see the people i've been around since i was 9. I think I'll miss them, even if they were not great to me at times.

hello! its been a while since i dropped in with an update so id like to say:
1. im out of school for the summer
2. im working on af refs at a (hopefully) efficient pace
3. im also trying to work on music more
4. i got a good (i think) score on the act.

It's my favorite instrument like ever. I've always loved it so much and i kinda forgot about it until a few months ago. They're just so darned expensive and i haven't played an instrument since i was in the 7th grade... i wish i had a lot of money for a lot of things but especially music stuff and commissioning art of my characters. maybe one day ill have one

sorry for not reaching out to anyone as of late. ive been tired and i have owed art, and state testing, and just... a lot it feels like haha.
I have to put in college applications in like 5 months, and do a lot of scholarship stuff. I have ACTs next wednesday and my scores are subpar at best (yipes!)
although, in good news i got a gender dysphoria diagnosis, and my grades art better than ever. it just comes at the cost of my sanity
If anyone wants to reach out to me via discord, i can shoot you my user via pms. I am not very sociable at times and I apologize for that, i just struggle to be close friends with new people a lot. it takes a lot of time and i have so little energy after my adhd meds wear out for the day. i generally use it for my creative stuff and just Basic self-care (hygiene, food, etc). im kinda just rambling here. im gonna start making really low effort art so i can just make somethig and enjoy it i guess

Birthday is in about 2 weeks... I'm really hoping to get a DJ controller but I think it's unlikely. The one I want is 300$. We got our tax return but we've had other, more important expenses than a dj controller. Sorry for the inactivity as of late. I pinky promise I'm still here, just lurking. It's really hard to make art or designs for some reason. I'll be busy this summer with courses, and possibly an internship. Another year comes by and it just motivates me more to keep pushing until I can go to uni. It's not long until then, and only about 5 or 6 months until I will submit my applications to the colleges of my choice. I've got to study for the act (ugh. Math is easily my worst section, and I did a practice test for it today.) and I've got to keep my grades up. Maybe I'll make honor roll this quarter? It'd be nice considering that I haven't been on honor roll since like... the 6th grade. I have stuff to do tomorrow for extracurricular stuff, and some tonight too. I only got 2 hours of sleep, but I feel fine. The power of taking a stimulant every day, I guess. I've been listening to more music, and trying to make it too. Anyways. I'm gonna cut this short because my bus is almost at it's stop. I'll probably make another life update post soon

I remembered today that I've got a toyhou.se account, and I figured i should clean things up and upload new art and ocs (as well as transfer characters/images from an old account). Aside from that, I remembered I have an art trade on there that I haven't finished and it's been over half a year! I feel just awful about it, I'm really think of making a task calendar or something of the sort so I don't forget about owed art... Once the toyhou.se page is up I'll be sure to put it on here.

I'm thinking of reworking my profile soon.. still colorful, but with better info and such.

I recently got really interested in getting a longboard, I thought it'd be a good way to exercise and some of my classmates from a couple towns over go around and do it, so it'd be something to do with some local people. Issue is, I'm not really balanced and I'm scared about the awkward learning period. I never learned to do anything like ride my bike, so I'm kinda uncoordinated. It'd also definitely be something for me to do so I'm more active as well. My main issue with all of it though is I don't have money- I'm thinking of opening up my comms with ko-fi instead of just PayPal, but I like how I can use an alias on Venmo. Sorry for the ramble haha, just wanted to put some recent thoughts out there.

Anyone up for an art or design trade? I'm looking for a new donkey design or some art of my raver/sparklefur-esque Umbreon sona

Seeing a bunch of people have long lengthy DNI lists becomes tiresome for me at times, so here's the opposite of a DNI list.
This was inspired by 's Interact list.

Do interact if...

You like insects
You like hardcore electronic music and odd music genres, like drill and bass or various types of IDM.
You like niche media, like Osamu Sato's Roly-Polys no Nanakorobi Yaoki
You support other real, human artists.
Fall is your favorite season, or Halloween is your favorite holiday.
You stay true and authentic to yourself.
Any of your interests align with mine!

On an unrelated note, anyone have any recipes they want to share?

Hello all! School has started up for me once again so I may not be as active as I have been in the past weeks of using my profile. I'm taking an art class this year where I can focus on cartooning, character design, and animation which is exciting for me. Commissions will remain open, But I may create a discount for them at some point soon as I'm realizing that I'd like to get some more clothes (preferably from Ross or Goodwill, as those are much more affordable for me than other options.) I feel like there's more I have to say, but my ADHD medications have worn off by this point, and the brain fog has set in.
