Kicking off October 4th, to all who may have missed the announcement, newly interested and where to sign up, GO CLICKIE HERE!

Welcome back everyone, just a week before Leafbiting kicks off for this year. I can only apologise for the late announcements, but EF was very late in the year and the lead up to that last minute decision to attend, the last couple of months have been very hectic. Got lots of art to post from before and during EF, expect big drops!

So! Next week, Leafbiting 24 (October 4th) will officially begin! Those that have participated before will know what all of this is about and can just skip to posting a comment about their participation pledge in this journal. I will also make an announcement in the Discord channel right after putting together this journal, so I hope to see as many veterans show up again this year compared to previous. The rest below is all just for reference and for those that don't know what the heccie LB is!?!?

As per previous LB, I'm going to do an art raffle for 2023's honorary leafbiter and post a chibi of their character on a recipe (Like last year) I will post somewhere during leafbiting this year. The Discord chat group for leafbiting and is still going strong and because of the success of previous years I encourage everyone to post their progress, activity and recipes in there. Every sproutling joining up this year will be sent an invitation to the Discord chat as well (though accepting the invitation isn't mandatory by any means).

Regarding the raffle to become an honorary LeafBiter and get featured in a recipe I post for Leafbite:
- Join up!
- Keep your fellow Leafbiters updated on your progress, ups and downs! Especially at the end of the challenge, let us know how the experience was for you! We're all here to support each other! You can do this in the comments on these journals or in the new Discord chat.
- Find a tasty recipe you wish to share? Put it out there as well! In general, show your participation!

I'm looking forward to Leafbite with you this year <3

Commonly asked questions:

Wtf is Leafbiting?
October 4th is World Animal Day, something that doesn't seem to be a very well known fact around the world, oh well. As my gesture towards all the tasty animals I love to eat so much, including fish and other seafood, I refrain from eating any meat for 2 months (until December 4th, my birthday). It helps me appreciate eating meats even more so, I think anyway.

Can I join?
Yes! Please do~ You don't have to do it for the sake of the tasty animals we love to eat, it's simply a challenge you can set yourself.

How do I leafbite then?
Starting the 4th of October, we all stop eating meat for any period of time up to 2 months. It sounds simple enough, but if you're not used to a vegetarian diet, you need make sure you properly substitute all the animal foodstuffs you cut out. Think of beans, soy products, eggs, nuts, mushrooms, cheese and other dairy, readily available meat substitutes are usually found in most supermarkets. It's a good idea to think ahead of time and plan the meals for your days/weeks/months of leafbiting, find vegetarian recipes from around the webz and ask your fellow leafbiters or vegetarians you know for suggestions.

How do I join?
Leave a comment on this journal, stating you want to join. Tell me for how many days you'd like to participate, anywhere from 1 day to 2 months (61 days). I will then send you an invitation to the Discord server where you can share your experiences and recipes with other Leafbiters :3 If your period overlaps with special holidays (like Thanksgiving or maybe family birthdays) and you don't want to put out your family by having them put out vegetarian meals for you, you can ask for a day of exempt. These days won't count towards your total, but at least you won't have to sit around people eating meat while you chew away on a salad.

It is IMPORTANT to
- make sure you eat properly, get all the nutrition you need. I can't say it enough, just leaving meat off of your plate isn't healthy. Talk to your roommates or parents if they're the ones usually cooking for you to see if they want to help you or even cook for you through this period.
- have fun! Don't suffer through meat withdrawal or malnourishment just for the sake of joining. If you don't know your limits, just go for a few days or maybe a week at the most to be sure you can handle it.

I'm already a vegetarian
That's great! I hope you appreciate what we're trying to do here then, even though you can't really join.

I don't want to Leafbite
That's fine. The reason I do this is BECAUSE I like eating meat after all, so I see where you're coming from. If you still want to do something for World Animal Day, you could spend the day spoiling your pets rotten, help out at your local animal shelter or give them a donation of pet foods or monies you can afford to give to charity, anything to show your love and support for the animals living with us on this planet :3

I think Leafbiting is stupid because *insert reasons*
Honestly I've heard them all by now. Even so, if you really object to any of this or need to say something unproductive, send me a note instead. I want to keep this journal an encouraging environment for those that do want to join. I have had to block people before that didn't seem to understand this.

Roughly 56 hours to go before we start LeafBiting this year! If you want to join or know what it's about, here's a link to the journal!

Also a condensed lil update, 2023 has been relentless. Literally from January 1 getting my vacation canceled, cancer scares, twittermob trying to cancel me, FA mods, family members passing away, friends falling out, dealing with a ton of minor stuff uuughnnn. Despite everything, artmoods have been drifting by and I have been drawing up a storm at EuroFurence, expect lots of pencil drawings to be posted soon. Wouldn't mind the universe backing off of me for a while now though X3

Anyway! Two weeks from now (October 4th) I will be kicking off another round of Leafbiting challenge. Returning Biters know what's what, but for those new, below I have detailed out what this whole thing is about. Still have questions? You can note me or leave them in this journal as well!

As per previous LB, I'm going to do an art raffle for 2022's honorary leafbiter and post a chibi of their character on a recipe i will post somewhere during leafbiting this year.

I'm heading out to Eurofurence in Hamburg this September with  Kovat and Ryu/Chrissie dragon. I have a room booked in the Super 8 by Wyndham hotel which is a couple of busstops away from the convention center. My previous roommate had to cancel their trip though, so I'm currently without a roomie. Is anyone else going to EF this year still looking for a place to stay?

Back in 2015 I drew up an intentionally inflammatory/suggestive image. Despite the obvious satirical nature and disclaimer in the description, 7 years later the tweeterpolice has declared me and all commentors not disagreeing with me on it are officially pedos. Oops.

Now I know I'm not into kiddos, my friends know this, the vast majority of my fans know this, I have no reason to assume any of those that commented on my submission are into kiddos, so why would I even care about these oversensitive twitmongers. First off I don't care really. In fact, because I'm so morally superior to them, this journal is an extended opportunity to them to apologise to me and all they have condemned as pedos through misinformation. No judgment, mistakes are human! We're all adults after all :D

But more importantly, don't just swallow up anything you read on social media uncritically. Despite their alleged small following, I get an influx of comments on the submission condemning me, my friends and watchers. If someone is the target of an incendiary claim, people tend to act on their emotions before they give it a second to think. They're wrong, but they were misinformed and acted out of passion. If you find their comments/profiles/twitters, please don't act out of passion.

Post suspension edit:
Closing the comments on this beast guys, thank you all for your criticism and support. I think by now everything that had to be said has been said. During my time away unable to address everyone personally, people speaking out in my defense were not doing so on my behalf anymore I feel, so I'm sorry if anyone feels some disputes are left unresolved. I have done my best to address everyone pre and post suspension with how I felt on the situation, but I'm going to leave it up in case people are still looking for some answers. Drop me a note if you have further questions, I'm currently still trying to get the mods to read my 47 page appeal D:<

We've made it through! Let's not forget to post an ending journal this time XD With most activity on the discord channel these journals tend to slip my mind.

It's been a challenging year for a lot of us, so LB was an extra rough commitment on top of it all. I'm so proud we still managed to show our gesture despite it, well done everyone <3

I want to keep this journal an encouraging environment for those that do want to join. I have had to block people before that didn't seem to understand this.

Monday October 4th is when we kick off again for leafbiting. If you wanted to participate, this is your last chance to sign up!

Where to sign up, or find out what the absolute heccie I'm talking about, head on over to the the previous journal. We've got art raffles and a Discord chat! Woo!

Hello again chompers of the leaf!

In 2 weeks time it's the start of yet another season of LeafBiting. For those returning to chomp plants, you already know what to do to join up. For those new peeking in, welcome! Have a look below at the frequently asked questions so you know what this crazy annual thing is all about. We love seeing fresh meat! Heheh.

As per previous LB, I'm going to do an art raffle for 2020's honorary leafbiter and post a chibi of their character on a recipe i will post somewhere during leafbiting this year. Also, last year we experimented with a Discord chat group for leafbiting and it was a huge success. It helped everyone post their progress, share their stories and recipes and show support for each other. Needless to say, everyone joining up this year will be sent an invitation to the Discord chat as well~

Regarding the raffle to become an honorary LeafBiter and get featured in a recipe I post for Leafbite:
- Join up!
- Keep your fellow Leafbiters updated on your progress, ups and downs! We're all here to support each other! You can do this in the comments on these journals or in the new Discord chat.
- Find a tasty recipe you wish to share? Put it out there as well!

I'm looking forward to Leafbite with you this year <3

Commonly asked questions:

Wtf is Leafbiting?
October 4th is World Animal Day, something that doesn't seem to be a very well known fact around the world, oh well. As my gesture towards all the tasty animals I love to eat so much, including fish and other seafood, I refrain from eating any meat for 2 months (until December 4th, my birthday). It helps me appreciate eating meats even more so, I think anyway.

Can I join?
Yes! Please do~ You don't have to do it for the sake of the tasty animals we love to eat, it's simply a challenge you can set yourself.

How do I leafbite then?
Starting the 4th of October, we all stop eating meat for any period of time up to 2 months. It sounds simple enough, but if you're not used to a vegetarian diet, you need make sure you properly substitute all the animal foodstuffs you cut out. Think of beans, soy products, eggs, nuts, mushrooms, cheese and other dairy, readily available meat substitutes are usually found in most supermarkets. It's a good idea to think ahead of time and plan the meals for your days/weeks/months of leafbiting, find vegetarian recipes from around the webz and ask your fellow leafbiters or vegetarians you know for suggestions.

How do I join?
Leave a comment on this journal, stating you want to join. Tell me for how many days you'd like to participate, anywhere from 1 day to 2 months (61 days). If you want, you can link to a vegetarian recipe you like and I'll put it next to your name on this journal :3 If your period overlaps with special holidays (like Thanksgiving or maybe family birthdays) and you don't want to put out your family by having them put out vegetarian meals for you, you can ask for a day of exempt. These days won't count towards your total, but at least you won't have to sit around people eating meat while you chew away on a salad.

It is IMPORTANT to
- make sure you eat properly, get all the nutrition you need. I can't say it enough, just leaving meat off of your plate isn't healthy. Talk to your roommates or parents if they're the ones usually cooking for you to see if they want to help you or even cook for you through this period.
- have fun! Don't suffer through meat withdrawal or malnourishment just for the sake of joining. If you don't know your limits, just go for a few days or maybe a week at the most to be sure you can handle it.

I'm already a vegetarian
That's great! I hope you appreciate what we're trying to do here then, even though you can't really join.

I don't want to Leafbite
That's fine. The reason I do this is BECAUSE I like eating meat after all, so I see where you're coming from. If you still want to do something for World Animal Day, you could spend the day spoiling your pets rotten, help out at your local animal shelter or give them a donation of pet foods or monies you can afford to give to charity, anything to show your love and support for the animals living with us on this planet :3

I think Leafbiting is stupid because *insert reasons*
Honestly I've heard them all by now. Even so, if you really object to any of this or need to say something unproductive, send me a note instead. I want to keep this journal an encouraging environment for those that do want to join. I have had to block people before that didn't seem to understand this.

Good luck everyone! As always, leave your comments and progress, your ups and downs in this journal. Speaking of which, someone suggested we should create a Leafbiting Discord channel to be more actively involved with each other, share recipes and show each other support. Let me know if you'd be interested in that <3

Same Leafbite time, same Leafbite place, I welcome Leafbiters old and new to another round of Leafbite Challenge!

After last year I think I have settled on what I like to keep doing for Leafbiting every year. Based on the year before, I will be offering chibi drawings of your characters with my recipes or your own. The more people join, the more days we all bite leaves, the more activity we have going on here and the more recipes you submit for each other, the more times I will draw the raffle.

So basically, if you want to be featured in a recipe I post for Leafbite:
- Join up!
- Keep your fellow Leafbiters updated on your progress, ups and downs! We're all here to support each other!
- Find a tasty recipe you wish to share? Put it out there as well!

I'm looking forward to Leafbite with you this year <3

Despite splurging on a new tablet, I just feel that if I don't make any changes to my art I'll just slip back into not doing anything for half a year+ again. I'm incredibly unsatisfied with my own results at every step of the way of doing anything, it takes me forever to do it and every second of it is agony.

So I'm asking for constructive criticism on my work, be as harsh as you like.
If you have any tutorials for inking, shading and painting that look like they would work with my style, please link them to me. I should be trying everything at this point.
Any artist (and I don't care how much difference of skill you think there's between us) willing to show me their methods (through messages, streaming or drawings etc) would be immensely appreciated.

Do NOT leave me comments of just praise of any kind, I'm in a bad space right now and I would just feel patronised when I feel I need to have my ass kicked.

Thank you~

And with me now officially closer to being 40 than to being 30, Leafbiting 2019 has come to an end. I want to thank all of you participating and sending me birthday wishes and I hope to see all of you again next year. If you have any experiences you want to share, ideas or suggestions, leave them here as well!
