Here are the 12 months of the year as I would rank them from least favorite to favorite:

12: July. Too hot and, where I live, too humid. Autumn is too far in the distant future.

11: August. Again, too hot. Our county fair does bring its rank up, however. And autumn starts the following month.

10: January. While I prefer cold weather over hot weather, it can get a bit too cold. Spring is too far in the future. New Years Day is the only holiday worth celebrating. Also, I have eczema on my hands, and the drier air makes them dry to a point where scratching them can make them bleed slightly.

9: June. Hot. However, Father's Day and my step-dad's birthday are both found in this month.

8: March. Spring starts this month. However, weather can be unpredictable. Also, no major holidays to which to look forward.

7: February: Can get cold. Still eczema season for me. Thankfully, spring begins the following month. And it's nice to know a whole month of the new year has already passed.

6: September. Autumn, my favorite season, starts in September. And my mother's birthday is this month. However, the fun really begins on the equinox. Can get a bit boring throughout the month until then.

5: April. Too cold and weather too unpredictable for the first half of the month, but gets comfortably warm during the second half. Also, I have a small willow nursery, and after a long winter, it's nice to know I can finally continue doing my part to slow down climate change by planting some trees.

4: November. Thanksgiving is fun. Unfortunately, much of the autumn foliage has already come and gone.

3: December. While Christmas isn't my favorite holiday, it's still fun. It's also nice to see some snow. However, can get boring after Christmas.

2: May. My birthday is during this month. I get excited for when my birthday comes, though it can get a bit boring the three days after. Plus, this is when it gets hot.

1: October. HALLOWEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!! Perfectly comfortable weather. Beautiful Northeast USA foliage, the best in the world. Peak autumn.

These are purely my opinions. How would you rank the months of the year, and what are your reasons?

I really need to draw Bowser more often, so starting tomorrow, I'm going to do a bunch of Bowser-related stuff throughout the month.

I've changed my mind about Art Fight. I'm not going to do it.

I’ve been watching “Avatar: The Last Airbender” since Christmas, and recently I got the idea to start a fanart series featuring four anthro non-ATLA characters, one bending each element. If you have suggestions, please give four characters and their corresponding elements.

EXAMPLE:
Judy Hopps (Zootopia)—Water
King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)—Earth
Death Wolf (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish)—Fire
Danny (Cats Don’t Dance!)—Air

So it's about to be Art Fight season. I'm game. How do I join?

Today is my birthday.

Hey y'all.

Hope your Mother's Day was good. I made my mother a card with a hand-drawn rendition of Jabberjaw. What did you guys do?

Well, since it is Earth Day, I should mention that I've potted several willow shafts today and will be doing more.

I'm no Christian, but I want to show my condolences to those who knew the now departed Pope Francis, perhaps the most Christ-like pope in recent history.

Rest in peace, Your Holiness. You will be missed.

With Trump's fascist regime trying to erase everything considered woke, it might be hard to have a happy Trans Day of Visibility, but I wish you one nevertheless. To my trans viewers and non-viewers, no matter what the Trump regime says, YOU ARE VALID.

With about one in every five residents being of Irish descent, New Hampshire has the highest Irish-American population in the United States.

Years before it became a state in 1890, Wyoming gave women the right to vote, the first political subdivision to do so in the United States. This is why it has the nickname the Equality State.

If you wanted to live in a state other than the one in which you currently reside, which would it be and why?

For example, I'd probably want to live in Massachusetts. It has a variety of seasons as opposed to just wet and dry seasons; I love its coastal areas; the state government isn't trying to censor people or try to take away rights; and the quality of life is excellent.

NOTE: If you are not from the United States, you can still answer. If you need a little geography lesson, I'm your guy.

Despite its long history of racism, which persists to this day, it was Mississippi of all states that elected the first two African-American Senators in the country's history, Hiram Revels and Blanche Bruce. In addition to that, it would be almost a whole century before another African-American made it to the Senate.

Due to various factors, I will only do one request for eight months of 2025: January, February, April, May, July, August, October, and November. On the ones not mentioned, it will still be 2.

I just tested positive for COVID-19. I've been having a bit of a minor sickness for the past week, but nothing terrible. I've already been vaccinated, so I'll be fine. And this won't stop me from drawing.

In 1777, during the American Revolution, George Washington required his men to get inoculated for smallpox despite concerns that the move would cripple his regiment. The inoculation move turned out to be a success.

Happy New Year to all of you.

President Theodore Roosevelt once banned Christmas trees from the White House, citing concerns for the environment; after one of his sons brought one anyway, Roosevelt ultimately revoked the ban.

If I haven’t posted any art yet, I was hoping to do so today, but I am such a horrible procrastinator, so the Xmas pictures I have for you should instead be submitted throughout the week. If you have Discord, I’ll send you what I have so far.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

I was wondering who you think would voice each of the following OCs of mine:

Walleye
Salina
Lyle
Portley
Fyodor
Jane
Gavin
Owen
Maddie
Raul

RULE: Each actor must still be alive as of this journal's submission.

Alan Turing, the mathematician credited with breaking the Nazi Enigma code, helping Britain win the Second World War and freeing Western Europe from Hitler's tyranny, later got in trouble in his own country for being gay.

With a little over a week before Christmas, I was thinking of doing artworks featuring you guys for watching, whether they're OCs or your fursonas. If you don't want me to draw your OCs/fursonas, please let me know by Thursday.
