On a lighter note, I see I just hit 2,500 followers. Thank you so much for that. I don't have anything at the ready to celebrate, so instead here's a sneak peak at what I'm currently working on. Chapter 9 is going to be a little angsty and a lot of fun. So I hope you're looking forward to it. ^_^

Orange from Deltarune, Ch 5. Because obviously, I adore her. 🧡 I actually drew this sometime last month, but I wanted to give a little extra time for people to actually play it first (and then I forgot all about it because I've been a mess all month). Little later than intended, but here it is now!

Orange from Deltarune, Chapter 5.

I feel like this has just been the month from hell. Aren't good things supposed to occasionally happen to balance out the bad things? You know instead of one exasperating thing after another. I'm so damn tired, man...

Been playing Elden Ring again for the first time in years. Despite the game's incredibly dour tone, it's been an excellent distraction for all my... everything I have going on. ^^; Naturally, I had to draw my Tarnished (Rat Edition™), on her quest to the Erdcheese. I hope you like her. ^_^

Rat Lynn dressed like a Tarnished from Elden Ring.  She's wielding the Sword of Night and Flame, Lusat's Staff, and wearing mostly the Blackflame Monk armor set.

On July 1st, our rabbit Luna passed away.Today, our other one, Valentine joined him. They were both old and we knew this was coming soon, but this fucking sucks. First time since 2009 we don't have a bunny in our home, and I hate it. No more bad shit for the rest of the year, please and thanks.

Luna (aka Luna Bear) the bunny.Valentine the bunny.Luna and Valentine.Valentine and Luna.

I finished Mina the Hollower last night (it was amazing), and it's also Terrible Comic Day today. So I tried to address both in one post. I hope you like it. (I think I put more work into it than I was supposed to, given the spirit of the day, but Mina deserves better than a terrible comic.) ^_^

Rat Lynn: "Gosh, Mina the Hollower is so cool.  I wonder if I'm able to hollow like her."

Rat Lynn (leaping into the air): "One way to find out!"

Rat Lynn bonks her head on the ground hard.

Rat Lynn lays on the ground with swirly eyes.

Mina (popping into the scene): "Remember kids, don't try this at home!  Leave hollowing to the professionals!"

Huge thanks to the two of you who tagged your posts about a recent big media event for containing spoilers. It was a fruitless effort, as I was already spoiled like a million times long before I got to you. But it really means a lot that you cared enough to try. Genuinely, I mean that. Thank you.

Harley celebrates finally having a tail. XD I like Tomodachi, but I wish I had more freedom to buy any items I want, rather than being at the mercy of whatever RNG feels like offering any given day. My bastet is taken care of, but I have so many skyfolk and no wings for any of them. TT_TT

Screenshot from Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, featuring a Mii based on Harley from my webcomic, My Impossible Soulmate.  He has a cat tail like he's supposed to, and is dancing about it.

Well, he's probably just dancing in general because the game is so random.  But I'm choosing to believe he's happy to have his tail.

The past week has been extremely emotionally taxing. My Impossible Tomodachi here has honestly been doing a lot to keep me sane and smiling recently. I'm glad I gave this game a shot. I really wasn't sure it would be for me, but it's meant so much to me right now.

Twenty characters from the webcomic My Impossible Soulmate as Miis in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Non-canon tangent episode! Because I drew a Pride comic last year and literally just forgot to post it anywhere. ^^; Happy Pride, everyone! Stay safe, stay happy, stay healthy! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Chiaki and Nagisa look up at the comic title, My Impossible Soulmate, now with a rainbow filter over it.

Chiaki: "Um..."

Nagisa: "Oh, it's Pride Month, so a lot of brands just slap a rainbow on their logos in a transparently shallow attempt to appeal more to a queer audience."

Chiaki: "Sure... I get that.  But what's the goal here?  Isn't MIS already a gay comic?"

Nagisa: "I mean, it could probably stand to be a little gayer, r-right?"

Both girls start blushing.

Since my birthday today is the same day as the release of Mina the Hollower, I did consider drawing my ratsona cosplaying as Mina. Buuuut she doesn't wear anything on bottom. I think I may just be too anthro to get away with "Donald Ducking it" like that. XD

So, I was interested in what Dragon Quest 12: Flames of Fate would have been, but this new Dragon Quest 12: Beyond Dreams also looks promising (even if I absolutely hate the protagonist's design). ^^; Dragon Quest Monsters starring a tiny Bianca and Nera, though, I admit I'm pretty hype for that.
