ALRIGHT HERE WE GO should get this down now before things this month start getting really crazy, haha. December is always so busy! I'm ahead of some gifts at least, so that's one less thing to worry about. Wish this cold would just pass though. :/

ANYWAY, if you want a little holiday sketch, leave a comment here and ask for one! These will be quick, silly doodles in Sai - you may want to look at previous years for an idea of what they look like (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009). Requests are closed on January 1st, so if you want one you got to make it in December. WOOO SIXTEEN YEARS WOOOOO if i'm doing my math right. The images in the old ones are broken on Dreamwidth because they changed how they load http addresses which is very annoying. :/ I'll have to go back manually and fix those at some point uuuuughh. In the meantime you can check the LJ sister post for each year, both entries have different comments and different sketches!

A few stipulations:

-Don't ask for like a million characters. Use your common sense here.
-Don't try to trick me into drawing your kink, that's not cool. >:( At least be up front about it.
-Link me to some reference pictures, unless you know I know the source material pretty well already. Please do this, it saves me SO much time.
-One request per person. Anonymous is fine. Don't try to duck around this. You can make multiple suggestions in ONE comment for me to pick from, but I'll only do one of them.
-I may interpret your request in a way you don't expect - that's the risk you take! No refunds, haha.
-If you're too embarrassed to post the request publicly you can send me an LJ or tumblr note about it.
-If you request something I don't feel comfortable drawing I may ask you to ask for something else.
-I'm way more likely to spend more time on your request if it's something I'm already interested in.

When I finish the sketch, I'll reply to your comment with it, so don't worry that I'm ignoring you, haha. Unless its just a general chatty comment or something. I usually get them done before the New Year but no promises! I'm already starting December sick which isn't great but we'll see how things go, haha.

If you want to do something for me in return, I still pine for my poor lost hat... I really think it's just gone for good but if you did find it it'd be a Christmas miracle, haha. Anything lady-related is a good bet, or Handplates/Vargas/Defrag related as well! Larrykabu things would also be appreciated lol. If you actually want to spend money for some reason (!?), some TF2 taunts would be fun, paid time for Dreamwidth or LJ wouldn't be bad, and rare video game remix albums and stuff would be neat. But I'm just throwin stuff out there. |D

Blllughhhh I caught a cold at some point over the weekend and I feel out of iiittt. It's not super bad right now but it's not pleasant!

I keep meaning to make posts and then I keep getting different ideas for them, and then some of them need more set-up, and then I just get distracted or can't find the time to just sit down and write one and I SHOULD WRITE HERE MORE OFTEN. I should have at least posted pics of Gatsby now that his fur has grown back! He seems much more comfortable now, although he does yowl a lot at night. Such a loud boy. But then I have to upload the picture and it's like bluughhh OKAY FINE I'M JUST GONNA DO IT IT'S NOT THAT HARD

Just one )

Anyway, some of the other things I was thinking of doing was - a Sims 4 post since I found where my other screencaps went (I should make some Larry and Kabu sims), a Xanth post, a sketch post, a Handplates reminiscing post, a language post... Just gotta decide on oneee although maybe when my head doesn't feel so stuffed up.

I got some little shaker Papyrus keychains made a while back, I'm not sure if I've mentioned them here before? From the blue magic comic where he gets thrown into the walls lol. I finally put them up for sale but I only had like fifteen and they sold out like, instantly. I'm gonna do a restock though! So many people were so sad not to get one, haha. Although packing them up was a bit of a chore... and I had to eat some of the shipping costs since I mis-estimated... but still! I like thinking of them out there making people happy.

I also got an idea for another little keychain, a plush one of Gaster so you can slap him around lol. I'm not sure how those'll come out, so we'll have to see. :O Gonna restock the stickers too, and get some Vargas pins. :O The Vargas pins are one of my bigger concerns at the moment... I had a lot of ideas, but I just felt like I was drawing like garbage the whole time. I did finish some little chibis but I don't know, maybe they look weird, maybe they won't make a good pin, i dunno I DUNNO. I guess we'll find out :O I'm not sure how much demand there is for Vargas stuff in comparison to Handplate stuff but I guess I'll find that out too lol.

It's hard for me to come up with an idea that seems clever enough to turn into something physical! I was thinking about a little printed notepad too, but I couldn't think of a design for it... I want Handplates AND the Ladies AND Vargas and what is the overlap there! I don't know! So I thought about maybe just a joint design with all of them on there in various corners lol. Thing is of course, I have to get a minimum of 60 little notepads, and that's a lot... particularly if I don't even know if anyone would want one. I'd like to make a Lady button too, and a Lady keychain, and I just keep drawing blanks for the designs aaa. Lately I just hate everything I'm drawing, it's frustrating. :/ I want to draw and then when I do it's just THIS SUUUUCKSSSSSS and I'm sure it's just me but it's annoying!

I should probably open the sketch requests soon too but eh I feel so tired lately, this month is always so busy. :O Just want to relax for a day or two to wait out this cold... I hope it isn't anything serious. It's not crippling or anything right now but it's only been a day or two, it could get much worse.

I've been working on this animatic based on the spooky gym sequence in the stalking fic (there's a second chapter now btw!) and I feel like it's taking forreeeveeerrrr I massively underestimated how much time it'd take. I'm only a few frames from the end though... I'm so close...

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
