Heyyo folks, time for the yearly tradition!

2025... was a year. Not gonna lie, I feel mixed about this year. On one hand, many good things happened like my commissions exploding in lucrativity and meeting many more cool friendos, but also this was the year that I had to deal with some new hardships like a damaged ankle.

Lemme walk y'all through my events this year:
- I got to add plenty of new characters to my roster, such as the Recruits and some newcomers I'll introduce properly later.
- My commissions became lucrative to the point of being able to pay off a new bed, a small but comfy one that set me back $700 initially.
- I met a lot of new friends over Discord, something that happens every year :3
- I got myself some cool new game consoles.

- I also dealt with bending my ankle wrong and not finding an affordable way to fix this problem, meaning I now have to deal with a bad leg.
- I'm starting to feel physically exhausted, which affected my art and stopped me from being able to feel confident about my comic.

I'm really hoping '26 decides to loosen up on the burnout and even allows me to put my better foot forward in more ways than one. One thing I want in general is for the genAI bubble to burst. But that's wishful thinking, to be fair.

See you folks next year; here's to a much calmer and more productive 2026!
