Alright, for those of you wondering where those last three sets of five doodles came from, it's a new thing I'm trying to do to keep myself drawing: Weekly Doodle Missions.

Basically, I come up with two different art prompts, put them to a poll on Bluesky and then spend five days generating a sketch fitting that theme. with the poll for the next prompts(provided I'm up for it) being run over the weekend. First it was Videogame Hear Me Outs, next it was Under-Used OC Spotlight and now it's Memorial Day Special: Beetle Bailey x Sarge Shipposting.

I'll always post all five at once on here either over the weekend or early in the week, but going forward, I'll also throw the prompts up here for voting so that those of you who don't hang around my Bluesky can still participate. No double-dipping! You know who you are. XP

Anyways, just wanted to get you guys up to speed over here. Wish me luck!

It feels so empty....but also so liberating.

Sayonara to over 150,000 worth of queue. Hopefully I can spend another few years building that back up[/joking]

Here's some positive music to put our best foot forward!

It's also been a really welcome break from he constant feed so I can dig back through my submission feeds.

Fun Fact: It was sitting at 185,519 submissions when FA died.

I'm taking advantage of yet another "Website-wide change compels everyone to make an update journal" checkpoint to give you guys some small updates.

1. I took advantage of the new display name thing to properly regain my Ninetails2000 title. Roovie99 is my secondary internet handle and I've been in this account because I couldn't be arsed to jumpstart  Ninetails2000 after it got baby-banned.

2. I'm active on Bluesky right now. Post a lot of thoughts and a lot of misc sketches and art that'll make it's way here during a sketch dump but if you wanna see me being out of pocket and posting doodles day-to-day, that's where you wanna be.

3. I've had a rough first quarter health-wise so I haven't been especially doing stuff-y, but I'm hoping to change that by making some small changes to my habits here and there.

4. I don't fukkin' know, have some music.

Having waded through endless amounts of shit this year and experiencing countless disappointments and joys and fears and hopes....When I hear that 2025 is going to be worse?

When I hear people afraid of what's to come...

When I see the world currently wallowing in it's own excrement with the high possibility of it continuing to do so into 2025...

You know what I say?



I've seen worse. I've been worse. The world has been worse. Keep your head up and lift up your friends and loved ones.

And have a fruitful, love filled, fortuitous 2025 just out of pure spite!

I love you all, thank you for being here with me in some capacity.

Keep calm and carry on. The best revenge is leading a good life and keeping your spirit alive.
Also, since there's a big social media shift going on at the moment, here's a Linktree for all of my currently active social media outlets.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have manly chubby gay dudes with big dicks to draw.

Struggled a bit with today's #Sometober, but it's already partially done so I'll just finish it tomorrow...and then...THE FINALE!

My computer is acting up to much for me to draw and I'm a bit too tired to deal with both it AND doing a sketch so I'm going to do a Yesterday's Sometober Today if you don't mind. Sorry about that.

Update: The idea I had ended up feeling a bit too ambitious for me to fit into a Sometober so I'm going to put it to the wayside for later. You'll still be getting a double Sometober today and I'm gonna make up for it by being weird and horny. As a treat. UwU

So I got started on today's #Sometober a little bit late and I'm not liking how it's coming together but also don't want to give up the idea so rather than brute forcing it, I'll just take another crack at it tomorrow.

See you tomorrow with a twofer!

Come one, come all and put in a vote! I'm doing a Monkey's Paw R34 poll on my Twitter to see who gets R34 on Friday! Vote if you want, I don't care. [cares immensely.]

Just letting you guys know ahead of time. I'm going to be doing a Yesterday's Sometober Today tomorrow because I'm going to the Sonic Symphony tonight and I'm too geeked up to get something down. I'll see you then! Also I'll see anyone else who's attending the symphony. UwU

Okay, so the idea I want to do is coming together but slowly. I don't want to give up on it and do something different so this is gonna be my first Yesterday's Sometober Today. I will post both today's Sometober and tomorrow's at the same time. See you then!

Hey everyone! How's it going? How's everyone enjoying this lovely March weather?

...

Wait, what do you mean it's the end of September!?

Yeah, I've mostly been spending this year at a new(finally decent) job, putting out the fires that started in my life over the past two years and keeping my head down. Not that much finalized work done, though I do have a stack of work doodles to share in a bit.

But more importantly for now, it's almost time for Sometober! For those who don't know, Sometober is my take on the traditional Inktober challenge where my goal is to produce a finished sketch of something every day. Any subject, general or adult, as long as it's a presentable, realized idea then it's fine. It's designed this way more to instill habitual sketching and sharpen my rapid visualization skills without the added pressure that traditional Inktober challenges can instill.

As always, I invite anyone interested to join in if you want. After spending all year in a fog of work and financial repair I'm looking forward to a chance to be obligated to draw again.

See you then!

So how's everyone been? I hope everyone is feeling okay and able to step into this new year with wide eyes and at least a bit of excitement.

The last few years have been....to be frank, utter shit for me. Lost my job at the end of 2021 and had to suffer through a demanding-but-poorly-paying job for nearly two years, stuck on the razor's edge between just scraping by and crashing spectacularly. It was an incredibly depressing and mind altering time for me and after a while I ended up just being stuck in "Survival Mode" not doing anything, no energy or motivation, just waking up, going to work, going home and trying desperately to not incur any sort of spending with maybe a flash of inspiration here and there and with Sometober as something of a mini-reprieve. I ended up curling into myself and only keeping consistent contact with just a handful of people.

This October however, I was finally able to get a new job that paid worth a damn and while it was a major transition, I was finally able to get back into the green with all of my expenses and debts. I didn't have that many but the previous job paid so shittily that I couldn't make any progress on them.

Now, going into this new year, I'm going to focus on finding my legs again and reconnecting with both people and pastimes that I let burn out while in that fog. I'm also going to work on being healthier in general. Both in body and in general mentality. There's lots of bullets concerning my mental health that I've avoided biting for decades now that I'm going to work on so that I can hopefully become a more consistent and reliable artist and person.

Unfortunately tonight's Sometober will have to be moved to tomorrow. I'm headed out this evening and I just couldn't get something down soon enough. See you then!

Tablet doesn't want to behave tonight so I'll have to finish tonight's Sometober tomorrow, sorry.

Spoiler warning: It's gonna be quite wondrous and so big that you'll need TWO trunks. UwU

Gonna have to take my first pass of this Sometober. My PC wanted to update and felt that shidding and farding the bed was the only way to achieve that. I got it re-started after it updated but it's too late for me to want to try finishing it tonight.

I'll be here tomorrow.

Is that a thing for anyone else using Windows? It having an update queued up and deciding to shoot itself in the head and bug the fuck out just to get you to restart and install the update? Like a self-destructively passive-aggressive child.

Okay, two things. First of all, I finally got a job offer for a better, more sustainable job! If everything goes as planned, I should finally be in a better place to dig myself out from this two year...thing...I've been in.

Second of all, yes Sometober will be back again this year. No matter how light my art output may be in a year, Sometomber is something I really love doing if only because it forces me to be consistent and breed creativity.

Hopefully everything works out and October becomes a turning point for me.

Stumbled into an invite code. Since it seems to be the next resting place for all the cute dudes, I'll be there too. I was genuinely sick of Twitter anyway.

It's been a while and I feel some explanation is in order. I'll try to make this quick and simple.

For the last two, three years I've been struggling job-wise. Stuck in shitty jobs that only barely get me across the finish line every month. Been looking for new jobs for that entire time with no luck. Thousands of applications, handful of interviews, no word back. Stuck.

Because of that and not having any money to spend on anything outside of the raw basics, I've just been in a survival mode mindset all this time and as a side effect of that, I've kinda been dulled out in general, which affects me producing art and my interaction with people online. When I get the energy or a flash of inspiration I'll try and milk it for all it's worth and I was able to do my Sometober last year as planned but outside of that, I tend to fall off a cliff. All that combined with Twitter pulling an Any% self-termination speedrun and a lot of other social media and art websites having their own issues has left me somewhat adrift at sea.

I apologize to anyone who I've not been consistently communicative with or who I've seemed to not talk to at all. When I'm feeling flat like this I tend to shrink my socialization in a bit more so that I'm not spreading my flat mood to others. It's something I've been trying to work on as I work through my issues but it's not something I'm able to get over consistently just yet.

It'll get better as long as I keep trying, but I know I've been more or less a ghost for the last year and a half and I wanted to give a proper explanation as to why.

If you wanna connect, Discord is the most consistent place to find me: ninetails2000 You could also send me notes here if you want.

Thanks to anyone who's still around at this point and thank you to all of you who have interacted with me or checked in on me in all this time. It means the world to me to know that there are people out there looking out for me.

Now that Twitter is dying, I'd like to announce my return to FA!

Oh wait, I never left.

But yeah, it's nice seeing everyone coming back through now that Elongated Muskrat has completed his zero-to-death speedrun of Twitter.

And yes, I'm planning something for 11/18 but in usual fashion, I'm not gonna have it done on the date because I'm tired. :V

Also, I'm going to be dusting off my Tumblr after using it purely for spectating since the purge.

Tonight's #Sometober is proving to be a bit annoying for me to nail down right so I'm gonna save it for a Yesterday's Sometober Today since I don't exactly want to rush it out the door. Sorry about that.

Eeh, what I was trying to come up with tonight just wasn't coming together and it's too late for me to crank something else out so I'mma have to do another Yesterday's Sometober Today tomorrow. Sorry guys.

Had another rough day today and I've got no vibe for drawing right now. Gonna do another Yesterday's Sometober Today tomorrow.
