The Goo got some arts to upload both here and on the other acc, so keep an eye out for em, and i hope y'all enjoy these days of Noms! X///////3 y'all have a Goooooo-d day!

Well tis a bit pass the mid year already, lessee what the Goo gots to share

College
In summer classes now, everything is doing okay so far, hopefully if I pass this summer and next fall I can finally be done

Work
I was able to get my old job back over the summer, so I'm doing decent financially again, if anything it's one less strain on my mind to worry about

Health
I had a shot meet up with my doctor today, he noticed my blood pressure was unnaturally high...so I may need some medications to help lower that, alongside my shoulders getting bad again and my pre-diabetes likely not having gone away...all this because I wanted to check in with my light induced migraines (my body is a wreck @w@;)

Otherwise...things are basically normal, and by that I mean stressful as always, I may see bout uploading some art I've drawn/commissioned over last and this year, nothing big mind you but some stuffs folks might enjoy, keep you're eyes out on that

For now I hope you all have a Goooooo-d day~! ^^/

With this being my last week before college starts up again; so with that being said I may want to focus on catching up with everyone and everything to make sure I am ready for things moving forward

The important bit is I may be closing up for RPs and such least for the first few months as I'd need to focus down on my college education, but least this week alone I'll see about catching up with everyone to see about any RPs I'd need to finish up

Speaking of finishing up, I know I also got some trade and commission work as well, I'll be catching up with people this week in regards to them to plan out and figure things out

The reasoning for that is well I'll be out of a job for the start of the year so I'd like to see if I can get commissions up and going again; maybe make a new price sheet at that since the old one is sorta outdated and I'd want to try and continue to support myself this way in the meantime

This year is gonna be a busy one for me but I won't mind it too much; and honestly working on more creative projects then at a job like I've been doing may be good for me! So keep an eye out on any potential updates on that~!

That is all from this Goo, so I hope you all have a Goooooo-d day ^^/

Hello everyone! Hope you all had the chance to enjoy a wonderful new year's as we say goodbye to 2024 and welcome 2025

That being said Well, I know it wasn't long till the last update about my current life situation, but this update is not about that, as that was about the past; this journal is about this year and what it may bring

while in truth I don't have much in store regarding my Goodra and Cow selves outside of some commission and gift arts I want to upload, it has come to my attention that I may need to switch priorities if I am truly going to be happy with where I am going with my life

and what I mean by that is when college starts up again on the 21st of January, my priorities may completely shift over to my education for the rest of the year

it isn't a surprise that honestly my college has been a bit of a rough patch for me for the longest time...and well it all now has come ahead with the sudden new that I may not be getting financial aid due to them estimating I may not be able to finish my major within an allotted timeframe they created for me. Which honestly, I don't blame them

I will be reaching 10 years in college within this upcoming semester, and I am more than tired of it at this point, I'm tired of the constant assignments and projects and dealing with late night study sessions. I want to be done with college, get my degree, and finally be able to live my life free from these stresses

if all goes according to plan, I will only have one last year left before I can finally be done, being this year alone, and because of that I will be putting as much focus and time as I can so I can finish up and finally move on

that being said yes...not much in terms of art or sprites may be accomplished this year unfortunately >>; I'll be getting the commissions and gifts I've gotten over 2024 out at least to not leave folks completely dry, but in this case I please ask everyone to be patient with me as I try to finish this whole journey I should have done years ago...there had been a lot of ups and downs, but now more than ever, I just want to see the end of this so I may finally move on with what I truly want from my life!

with all that said as well...my only desire is to make 2025 a working year towards my future, whereas wanting to work may seem odd to many, for me it is where I feel the most comfortable knowing I have a job I can put my all in and enjoy working through to the end!

happy 2025, and let's all make it a good one!

College semester finished up just this weekend so I'll get to enjoy the holidays, which before I do I got some things I wanna explain bout what happened to me this year

To start off being directly honest, 2024 may have been one of the worst years for me emotionally and creatively; the start of the year had me see some of my biggest inspiration nearly get shut down due to petty reasons, up until the first few months of this year where me and my family had to say goodbye to our Dog due to sudden health complications

The latter had really affected me in a way I didn't realize, I had gotten sort of emotionally numb because of the loss...mentally and physically I'm doing fine (although I was also warned by my doctor that I am at risk of being pre-diabetic too...) but emotionally it's just hard to find a reason to stay happy and peppy at times, but I still at least try when it is for others.

It's been more then half a year now since we had to say goodbye, but I'm still recovering emotionally I think, I'm not sure how long it might last but at the same time I'm just hoping to move forward despite what happened.

TL:DR 2024 was at least okay in terms of work and college, emotionally though it was a Trainwreck due to inspirations being shut down and the loss of my dog

I usually just try to live in the moment and not focus so much on the distant future, but seeing that 2025 may be potentially my final year in college, I just do at least hope that next year will be better then 2024... Knocks on a nearby plank of wood so much and so hard it nearly breaks in half /j

I do apologize for such a mixed emotions of a journal ^^; despite everything I'm going to do my best to enjoy the holidays, catch up on art both for myself and others, and just enjoy this free time, and I wish the same for you all too! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season~!

The semester is nearly over and I've been wanting to try and get back into doing some art stuffs, so I'd wanna ask folks if they have any recommendations for touch screen drawing tablets, whether they connect to a pc to draw or even if they are just a personal tablet that can be used to draw in is fine, just wanting to be sure I can find the right kind of tablet.

Hello everyone! The holidays aren't too far now and the year is coming to a close, I hope y'all are having a good December!

I wanted to make this Journal to be very honest about my activity both on here and on discord: Namely that I don't see myself ever being as active as I once used too for many a reason these days vv;

College education has taken a lot of my time and I don't see myself graduating for a few more years, ontop of that is the fact I have a job on on top of my college studies as well as taking care of my family at home, I find it harder to find time to create art like I used too, especially as my interests becomes more niche ..; (Take a look at the MerryBlueMoo account to see what I mean)

With that said: I want to apologize to everyone I may have spoken too and haven't had the chance to speak with again, I don't get a lot of moments to be able to sit down to chat and even less to RP these days, I can only do short RPs because I can't guarantee I'd be able to pick things back up the next day, and for that I am very sorry, I'd like to get back to folks but it just takes having the right time to do so

As for Art, similar things can be said with the lack of time, I've also wanted to try and improve my art skills as there is still do much to learn, but that's also put on the back burner too as I'm trying to organize time; though once finals are done next week I will be focusing on finishing any pieces I owe folks before the start of the new year, again I apologize for the delay.

I hope this clears up why I seem like I just vanish one day after another, I'll still be around to chat and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I possibly can! I hope you all have a Goooooo-d day~!

After seeing the amount of attention the Gal gets, me and her original creator agree'd to let me have the Gal~ This is mostly just to clear up any confusion in the past from folks who weren't sure who exactly Sally belongs too, but rest assured now that She is here with the Goo alongside all the other chars I have!

Again I know I'm a bit late with posting all these pieces for 8/8 but I had company at the time ^^; but now tis all done, I got a few more pieces but I may wait till there is a better time to post em all, hope you all have a Gooooooo-d day!

just gotten late due to some busy stuffs today, so will upload the last of the art dump tomorrow! I hope you all have a Goooooooo-d night!

Got a lotta art over the years to post, and course for today tis mostly gonna be on the vore side of things so I hope you all enjoy that!

aight, that should do it for now, and yee, planning on uploading some potential art for 8/8, that being said hope y'all have a Gooooooooo-d day!

Not much going on, now that summer classes are over I'm gonna take the small free time I have to try and clean up some stuffs here and there, starting with my Discord Account

just speak up with me there iffin yah want to keep in touch, but iffin we speak often there should be no worry~

as for 8/8, well, I don't got much to share personally, but perhaps it would be a good time to post some of the Vorish commissions I got over the years so when the time comes be prepared for that!

Another year older~ another year to focus and get things done~ don't got much planned today, but I don't mind~ just gonna take it easy and enjoy the day, hope you all have a good day~!

Tis the Goo Herr about the new policy, honestly I'm not even sure what I should do

To start off: I'm unsure what pieces I've made in the past would fall under their new admittedly vague guidelines, I guess I'll just wait till the date to see what would and wouldn't count

And secondly...the new policies, yea, no, I absolutely do not like how the hell they worded the aspects of minors being used in vore and inflation art to put it lightly, it's absolutely abhorrent they mentioned the fact they even considered the idea to be okay to begin with, and if this is the path they choose to take well, I would NOT, want to stay around and support a site that okays this kind of crap --;

Hard part is that unlike most folks out there, FA is the only art gallery I have, and I'm honestly not interested in making another account in that case ..; since the more I continue my education, the more I wish to focus my efforts into my major, I still have both my discord and the discord server that  anondanon and I run, so iffin you'd like to send me a friend request or Join the server just DM me and we could speak more about both

So...yea, we'll just see how everything goes, and here's hoping they will take a step back and rethink their new policies before things go south, I hope you all have a good night!

Hello everyone~! Hope you all are doing well!

I've been busy both with college and just general life, I will say I am doing relatively better since last time, mostly keeping a pleasant pace with my education and my work to make sure I'm not burning myself out, as well as still figuring out general life things as I move forward from the end of last year

Of course though this is only half of the update, in truth, money has gotten a bit tight due to my job shift and having to take care of extra expenses and I've been thinking about opening sprite/animation commissions again, following the same rules as here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35945501/

If you'd be interested in the idea, do let me know, I'll see about setting up a time to do commissions for folks, and I'd greatly appreciate the business ^^/ once I get a time and prices ready I'll be sure to make an official announcement by then!

For now, I hope you all have a Goooooo-d evening~!

just wanted to stop by to inform folks about something

I know it seems like I sort of vanish for days on end at times ..; and the short answer is that I work both a job and am still attending college, so while I may seem like I may just have left, in truth I'm still around, just very...very...very busy ..;

That also said, I don't forget promises I made to folks both about art or rps, just that it may take me a good while to find time for em, and for that I do apologize ^^;

Here's to another year, taking it all through one year at a time!

I feel now is a good time to talk about some things for the new year including what's to come and well...about how I have been doing as well ^^;

infact...I may wish to start with that above all since I feel it is most important, so let's hop right into

Motivation and Improvement

I'll be upfront: I am not happy with where my skills are at the moment for just about everything, I feel my art has stagnated for awhile now, my studies and work ethic have barley improved, and overall, I could be doing so much better than I have been for a while now.

Although what helped with that is while the end of this year had given me so much of a load to hold onto and carry, I also found out how I can learn and improve my own skills...and it is not going to be easy. I mostly learn through a hands-on approach, sitting down with someone and going through the lessons as I try to create or use what I'm taught in different environments.

this can be difficult when done behind a computer screen or when expectations of having to learn all by oneself is a thing, like learning how to draw or learning how to code vv; but it's at least good that I know this now on top of getting a handle of how my ADHD works. which brings me to the next topic at hand

Presence and being with others

This is something that has been on the back of my mind for a good while now, and I'm not trying to say this for pity or wanting attention, but for just pure, open honesty here

Considering my skills are not as good as they could be, and I'm very private and quiet in most places I go, what do I really bring to the table that keeps folks interested in this Goo? I see being at least a good person to be the norm and I've seen many folks be able to do so much. Perhaps I am comparing myself to others in that case which fair, I shouldn't and focus more on self-improvement, which is what I wish to do, but I do at least want to know by asking you: what truly brings you to follow a Goo like me?

And about the whole thing of being unable to share as many things as others can...I'll be upfront here: I stay reserved and private when it comes to personal goals, hobbies, and even interests because I want to make sure this Goo account and my non-Goo stuff stays as separate as possible; this is why most of the time when folks ask me more past the Goo I don't tend to share much.

I know some folks may not be happy with this and I do sincerely apologize in that case, I still try to be around when I can, and I am more than happy to talk with folks about many things regarding the Goo, Sally, the Moo, or any other characters I may create in the future (which trust me I have a few ideas for) but I do have my own limits in some cases. I may lighten up a little just to at least be around more, but for the most part the Goo is here just to be a Goo ^^; moving on from that topic though is the one that I am happy to share~

Scheduling and Work

it's no secret that my activity here on FA has gone way down for most of the year, and in truth I haven't been drawing up as much in return either. The reasoning for that is partly that I've been super busy with work and college, especially when late into this year both started eating up so much of my time

I am happy to say that won't seem to be a major issue for the new year, since I will be starting a new job by then that is not only lighter on the schedule but is more viable for my education as well. so at that point I should have more time to be active and hopefully get that drive to draw again.

With all that, the new year will certainly be an interesting one, I'm not even sure what will be there for me, but I hope with what I learned from this year I can start taking the path towards self-improvement and from there, maybe I can become the person I truly wish to be if not then start the first steps to getting there, thank you for reading this whole Journal and here's to a new year!

And to all a good night ^^/

My friend  Ephraim225 is working on a comm based on some of our characters and it is up to you to decide who will win

in the end both ending pictures will be seen, but whoever wins will have their piece shown first so vote on the comment section to see who will win between Sally the Servine and Rena the Fox: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49860298/

I wish I could just be silly and bouncy about it but I really can't this time: October was not a fun month, it started pretty heavy, and it just never really lightened up after the fact, College Work had become very heavy and I've been struggling to keep up with it, art motivation has become virtually non-existent, and I couldn't even get myself to try and run the silly idea I had for October or Halloween at all, the motivation just isn't there anymore...

I'm sorry to everyone who was expecting some kind of interesting or silly kind of art from me...honestly the more I stick around here, the more I feel I'm not putting my time in the right spaces...I'm just not sure what to really do with this account since the more I look at my personal goals the more I feel FA is becoming more an escape then a help...

again, I'm sorry everyone, I at least hope you all have a happy Halloween, and here's to next month at least being a little bit better

I know my post times and such are very weird and somewhat random half the time, the simple answer: my class and work time is super weird =3= what is an afternoon anymore?

College keeping me busy, art motivation low, realizing I'm low on time for my education, life has been a thing alright

At a point where im just tired of the constant losses, though, life is always gonna have those moments so I can't really complain much

Also, been thinking more about myself: mostly my beliefs cause I wont lie, I think what holds me back a lot is my lack of faith on myself and in general, maybe some day I may also make a journal about some things to clear things up about the Goo to clear some confusion

At this point I just wanna try to accomplish something, cause it's felt like for a long time I've been unable to get anything right, especially towards the people here

Here's hoping at least something starts looking up, have a good day everyone

Just a small update, the Goo will be heading to a vacation from tomorrow to likely next Thursday, in-between the work, college, and personal stress, I'm hoping this will be the rest I need to help center myself and be able to come back stronger, until then I wish you all a goooooo-d time until then ^^/
