I can’t believe it’s already been almost a year since I’ve started my Newgrounds page. I’ve come a long way since then, but I’m wondering what to do about it. Any ideas?

I just woke up this morning and saw there were 150 fans. I wasn’t paying attention, so I forgot to make something. Oh well, at least I can give some shoutouts to a few fans who made things for me since the time I got 100 fans. Lemme see:
@anemone8, @KaiserCrimson, @SkullyTM, @VegaSlash (for the Multiversus Collab), @Fnaflaxter (for the Sonic collab), @Omar2203, @CheyTown, @IGNITEDBOI, @M-kirbs, @ScepterDPinoy (it’s a secret for now), @Yosos, @Kosova404DLen, and @BlakeTakesTheCake (wait a minute…). @VinityAryimin isn’t a follower, but likes me a lot, so they’re an honorable mention. And also @ABitofEpicness, who I would commission, but they’re busy with college.

This right here is a chart of everybody in relation to each other. Just something I made in my spare time, to remember why I made all my characters to begins with. I always thought about making something with these guys, but I’m not smart enough to write stories with them. Not do I feel like I have enough time physically to practice. So I've been making collabs with them, and having other artists rent them for comms and such. You don’t have to worry about the details, and look at the pretty web if you wish. And if you have any questions, I might be able to answer as best as I can. Maybe…
Edit: I just realized that Newgrounds compressed the image. So I’ll link to a hi-res PNG over here:

Might seem a bit random, but I got a confession to make. I had a bad cavity in my upper right molar for a long time. Felt like a pain to work around that stupid tooth. Until one day, the pain got so bad, I had to take care of it personally. So I went to the dentist, got a root canal, and a fresh new crown too. Now I feel much better, but I got $2000 in dental fees. Let this be a lesson kids: remember to always brush your teeth at night [OR ELSE].

Hope everybody’s having a good egg hunt today. Didn’t really have much planned, but my mom dropped by yesterday and gave me this bucket of goodies. Probably won’t eat it all at once, cause I got a dentist appointment tomorrow. But it’s the thought that counts, I guess.

MinionKingKarl over on Twitter was nice enough to make a picture of Keisha. Here, she’s partially cosplaying as their character, Ran Rokuro. You can find more details on my Twitter and Bluesky pages if you’d like.

So, I had to attend a baby blessing in Las Vegas, where my brother lived. Figured I could show you some pics for fun.
First is a view of the city from the hotel room. It’s prettier at night than in the day.
Here’s the baby girl. As well as her after blessing party by the lake.
Then on the Vegas strip, I went to the biggest M&M store. Wall was full of them.
And suddenly from the window, Super Mario Bros. Z on the streets.
Speaking of which, I found some blue Dragon Balls. Do those even exist?
And some new shoes from the Skechers store, since the old ones were broken and gave me blisters.
Also, a view of the Chinatown gate. Sorry, best shot I could get at the moment.
Then there’s the menu. Breakfast at White Castle (sorry), Lunch at Lucille’s BBQ, Dinner at Pasta Cucina at the Hotel.
That’s about all the vacation photos I can share (Newgrounds photo limit is 10). Maybe I can share some more next time.

Saint Patrick’s Day doesn’t have much to offer compared to other holidays. So here’s a picture of a Saint Patrick I found on Reddit.

I can tell you how rough it is to adjust to daylight savings time every March. Luckily, I managed to sleep good last night. Did you?

I woke up and saw something cringy, a lost trailer for the cancelled CW Powerpuff Girls. This thing looks more like a parody than an actual product, made by people who aren’t funny. Watch if you dare:
