It's my Birthday!
General | Posted 6 years agoToday, June 14th, is my birthday. So, hooray! ^^/
I will be busy pretty much all day, but I am going to do an art dump before I become preoccupied. Two or three pics refer to my birthday. I might add more if I feel generous since I have a lot backlogged.

E3 Final Review (Spoilers)
General | Posted 6 years agoEA: B
I fully expected EA to mess this up, but they actually had a good presentation. Star Wars taking inspiration from Metriod and Batman is a great sign to see. Maybe they won’t mess it up?
Xbox: D
I was pretty high on their presentation until I realized all the games they showed trailers to were the same games from their previous E3, and setting the trend for E3 most of their games comes out holiday 2020, so pretty much 2021. Thats really bad.
Not only that, theres also a new console coming out. Typically thats amazing, but I feel fans are going to be pissed having to buy a new system every two or three years instead of Nintendo or Sony where it is about every 5 years. To top that off theres a $60 fee for online so… $700 on systems and internet every 2 or 3 years. Yikes.
There was good stuff though. Cyber punk looks amazing, with Keanu Reeves. Seems to be a futuristic GTA which should be pretty fun. Lego star wars has the whole series in one game, Tales of Arise looks like a great game, Gears 5 is similar to Halo’s firefight but it has objectives, and Halo is Halo. Halo alone is amazing, and those graphics are some of the best I’ve seen.
Sony: N/A
They are probably taking a year off after God of War 4 and Spiderman last year.
Bestheda: F
Needed to impress after Fallout 76 disaster, they did not. Instead of fixing the game they made a battle royal mode, (AKA money grab.) Sure they added NPCs and Dialogue, but I mean… thats been a feature in videogames since the 90s. Thats expected. Doom looked cool but won’t save them.
PC gaming show: N/A
Not a pc guy, but wanted to see what Chucklefish had after Stardew Valley was so amazing. Seems they are making a space station survival game that looks really good!
Ubisoft: A
Watchdog Lesions looks amazing! British Charm, kickass grandma, recruiting, action, stealth. It seems that you can also recruit random NPCs like Metal Gear 5, that looks like a great feature. This should be a very good game.
New Rainbow 6 title called Quarantine. It’s another military shooter game… the last one of those was Metal Gear survive. I don’t get it? But regular Rainbow 6 is really good so maybe this works out.
Brawhala = smash bros + sword. Lots of shooters. There was for honor with ninjas. The other game I really enjoyed seeing was Roller Champions, which is overwatch + rocket league. Thats going to be a blast as a party game. Overall solid showing from Ubisoft.
Square Enix: A+
Fans wanted Final Fantasy and they certainly got it. The capstone was the FF7 Remake, with about 15 minutes of gameplay, talks from the developers, and I believe there was a playable demo as well? Which certainly made fans happy. It’s not a true remake because they swapped turn based combat for cqc. However, thats probably a good thing because it speeds the game up and makes it more modern.
The Final Fantasy News didn’t stop there: FF 14 Shadowsiders, FF Fire Emblem, and FFXIII remaster were all either shown or announced. I also love it when developers release soundtracks, so a FF soundtrack release was icing on the cake.
Life is Strange 2 looks very similar to a talltale game, and is probably going to cast a heart wrenching story. Looks really good! After this they had more Dragonquest and RPGs, that was about it.
The one thing I didn’t like which others will is the KH3 DLC. I don’t think fans care at all about the nobodies, and adding a DLC to early backstory before the main series seems like a bad idea. IDK, thats just me.
Honestly, I’m not even a FF fan and I was blown away by their conference.
Nintendo: A-
The direct was ok, they were the only people to release more games in 2019. There were a ton of ports, so I’m going to skip over all of them. Smash released two characters, both somewhat expected. The first one I didn’t enjoy, more generic sword fighters, although the trailer was cool. The second was a much better fit and had a really good trailer that probably faked people out at first.
Luigi mansion looked good. Like all these games however I was hoping for the narrators to go away. Saw more about FE 3 houses and Astral Chain, games that really blew people away in 2018 and both look good. Was not a fan of Demon x Machinima, but knowing now that either bobobo bobo-bobo / old jojo can be a pilot I am now very much interested. Danzer Dragon may be the only on rail shooter like Star Fox we get this year. The Pokemon gameplay was nice, and I got strong Splatoon vibes from the water gym.
Animal Crossing… I don’t like this concept. It’s like pocket camp got turned into a full game, and to me thats lazy and doesn’t build upon New Leaf’s ideas. I love out door crafting, and I like outdoor customization. However, I was hoping for this game to be bigger and more modernized, yet they took it in a direction of small and secluded which is not a good concept in my eyes. It appears furniture and customizable items are very limited too. Combine that with a major delay and this is a kick in the gut (although please delay if it means the game can be a masterpiece.) Theres time for this to change… but man this is a huge downer for me.
Lastly, Zelda… wow… it looks amazing! Sure Link’s Awakening remake, but Breath of the Wild 2 with Ganondorf? Thats going to be an amazing game.
Whose the Winner?
If we are talking 2019, I’m going Nintendo. I didn’t see a single game announced by another developer that came out this year, so with Nintendo having Smash DLC, Luigi’s Mansion, and a ton of ports, That would be my vote.
In terms of 2020? Square Enix did the best job of pleasing their fans. (Nintendo gets docked for the Animal Crossing delay.) So.. those are my thoughts on this years E3.
Rankings:
Nintendo > Square Enix > Ubisoft > Sony + PC Gaming Show > EA > Microsoft > Bestheda.

E3 Nintendo Predictions
General | Posted 6 years agoHey all, In case you did not already know, I am a huge Nintendo fan boy. With E3 already underway, I felt I should post my predictions to both what I expect to see from Nintendo and what I am hoping to see.
How I envision E3 happening:
They start the presentation with a Smash DLC character reveal
References to the open invitational tournaments that will happen this weekend.
Metroid Prime 4 trailer
Luigi's Mansion 3 trailer + release date
A montage containing a dozen indie games that will be released to the nintendo E-shop over the year.
Pokemon Sword + Shied trailers. One will be for the evolution chain of the starters, the other will introduce the 3rd legendary that was cut off at the end of the previous direct.
Nintendo Treehouse will have live gameplay footage of Pokemon Sword and Shield (after the conference is over)
Near the end of the presentation, the new Animal Crossing will have a large trailer and be the featured game.
The final announcement will be a second smash DLC character.
I'd love to see another F-Zero and Star Fox game, even an Assault HD remaster would be amazing, but I have given up on seeing those. There might also be a Reggie appearance one last time since he retired a month before E3, but again that's unlikely.
I have a strong feeling there will be 2 smash DLC releases at E3. That way they can save the other two for their Fall and February directs, which has all five released at February 2020 like they were planning.
For Animal Crossing, I am really hoping that they expand more on customizing the town as they did in the mobile game. The ability to have a larger town, decorate the lawn to your home, choose where villagers live, and add more community projects would be amazing to have. I'm sure they will also add a new theme to the game which will blow us away, and I honestly can not wait to go full hermit when this game releases.
In any case, I'm excited!

June Update: Learning Things
General | Posted 6 years agoHey guys, June update time:
Life:
Lots of things. One is that I am now unemployed (in a good way, my contract is up was all.) So I have a lot of free time now. Also, it's my birthday this month! I was planning on getting a fair amount of art for it, but a lot of the artists I have been talking with to try and commission have fallen through due to unforeseen circumstances. So I might have a pic or two but not much. (When artists aren't open, they aren't open. Not much I can do about that.)
Stories:
Lots of things here:
1: story queue: I'm halfway done with Numou's, the final one before I take a break and do some research.
Megablaze's I decided to cancel instead for a dual com. I just don't have the energy to write much anymore after noticing all the flaws in my writing.
2: While I haven't begun to research how to improve just yet, I have figured out what in my mind are the major flaws to my work so I can get better at it:
- Sentence structure is the #1 issue. My phrases are very basic and repetitive, I need to diversify it to keep audiences entertained.
- Tone, the tone of my stories are very factual and non-exciting. Probably comes from my profession, but I should learn how to narrate stories better. Be it first or third person.
- The dialogue is very basic, there should be more personality in it.
- Emotions, what are those? This is something I have neglected but need to elaborate on, as I am trying to push the plot but leaving out the fun. How do the characters feel and react in the situations they are in? What are they observing? My stories are very dry and improving on this should greatly enhance the quality. While I still feel that a lot of epics on this website have too much repetition with this, I should expand the tone of the characters in the story while preventing it from being the same thing over and over again, another issue I have that is really annoying.
- Another huge issue is that my stories are way too long and complex. It would be better to write a good 5 page story instead of an average 15 page one. I have tried to keep my stories long to prevent them from becoming a bunch of 3 page spam stories like you see on DA, but I feel like the stories I have incorporated too many ideas and thus became drivel. Something I didn't want either. Short is sweet, and when I come back to writing (if I do) I will probably try and greatly limit my ideas so that one idea gets fully developed rather than 12 being touched upon.
3: One reason I am procrastinating is because if I want to put effort into writing, maybe it would be better to do it with art? Although I am much worse at drawing. So yet another fork in the FA road to figure out.
4:The only real way to improve art/writing is practice. Which is why I want to ask if you guys/girls would enjoy seeing some short snippets of my writing while I take a break and practice? The idea would be to combine a few short concepts together, enough to where it's not spam but short enough to where it isn't a story. So like art practice pics in sketchbooks, but stories instead.
So yeah. While I do not know if I will have time for it, I would love to reinvent myself on here, be it greatly improving at writing or learning how to draw. Thats the main point of this post.

Quick Update
General | Posted 6 years agoHey guys! I have a few things I would like to say before we head into June, so consider this an early update for June.
Something to make note of is that as of 5/24, I will now be unemployed (in a good way.) This means that I will both have a fair amount of free time on my hands, but will also have to be more careful with my spending. I've gotten about half way though my list of ideas I want to commission and have a fair amount backlogged. I'm thinking every Saturday I will post one to keep the upload schedule regular. The only rare double post exceptions being if I had very similar coms together or if on my Birthday (coming up in June) I decide to splurge and do an art dump.
My progress on stories... has been non-existent. I have had family matters to attend to this month as well as making as much cash as possible during the final weeks of my job. This has led to nearly zero free time on my hands and no creative energy to write. Much less the fact my large amount of pessimism still persists. Looking back over my stories I can see how all of them are flawed to the point of it being unreadable. This is something I wanted to avoid yet didn't, and that's something I want to change desperately.
Better yet, I really want to try and learn how to draw, but I will be focused on a lot of other self improvement things in life to where that won't really be possible.
Plans for June:
I am writing
Numou a story and this will be the final one until I return from hiatus. I have an I.O.U. for 
Megablaze22 which I will work on for my first story back.
I have two Twokinds edits I want to polish up and post. These are something I have been getting better at every upload and I like how one is looking, the other isn't that far along.
So that's the important stuff. I might do another update in June, we shall see.

May Update
General | Posted 6 years agoOk guys, May update. Lots of things to discuss
Number one thing most people will be interested about will be that I will not be writing any more stories for a while. More than likely a few months. The quality of my writing isn't up to my standards and I need to really focus on improving before I write more. It's come to a point where I am actually struggling to write stuff down due to noticing the flaws in my grammar. So until I can improve, no more stories for a while. This is the most important thing you should know.
Real life stuff: my jobs will be ending at the start of June so I will need to scope out new forms of work for myself. This will take time to find, but I will also have a lot of time on my hands as well.
If you combine me taking a break and me having a lot of free time on my hands, something I have considered doing with all this time is practicing art. Trying to get better at anatomy and visualizing 3D objects/poses are the two main things. Will it happen? Probably, but I don't know if anything publishable will come of it. More than likely it will end up being some crud accumulated on my hard drives storage space. But I would at least like to try.
I have a fair backlog of coms that I will release slowly but surely. I want to pace these out since I only have two more stories planned before a long hiatus. As well as these I also would like to get done a few ideas I have been sitting on for a while now, so May and June will probably have a fair amount of commissioned art from me, but July and August will probably be pretty barren.
Thats about it.

NuMou Outlining Megablaze22 not started400 Watchers Hype!
General | Posted 6 years agoHey guys! I just hit over 400 watchers! Thank you so much to all the watchers and viewers for your support! It means a lot!
So far the plan is still the same. I have a few stories I am writing for friends (queue below) and then I will take a break from writing to try and improve. One thing I have already noticed is that my stories have too many ideas in them. Typically a lot of stories stick with one idea where as I am trying to cram 15k words worth of ideas into a 5k story. Thats something I will try to fix for the future.
As well as that, I want to try to work on art. I have one or two twokinds edits I need to finish up and post, but I would also like to start doing more pictures and trying to improve. My writing platform is Mac Pages so that might be an issue, but I will try to work with it and improve inhales of getting better at art. Though finding time will be a challenge...
Anyways thanks a lot everyone! Enjoy your month of April!

April Update: It's finally finished
General | Posted 6 years agoHey guys, another update. However there will be no April fools jokes in this journal.
Sentient Diaper is finally finished
The good news is that I worked my butt off and finally finished the Sentient Diaper series! There are four more parts of various length and themes. I hope you guys are excited to see the finished product! I plan on posting a part every saturday in April, that way all 4 parts are up this month.
As well as that, I am definitively going to be taking a long break from that topic as it has dominated my account for the past... really year. I think it's time to move on to different areas I want to explore. Is this the end of the idea? No, I want to get more art of it later. I just can't write about this stuff any more.
If you want to see more stuff about it, check out the original inventor
babyfox1800 or check out 
crinklecuddles who is making some utterly amazing work about his character and it's sentient padding. :)
I will be soon taking a break from stories for the foreseeable future.
When I started out writing stories I did it mostly for fun and to test out ideas. Now that I have nearly 400 watchers I want to try and improve my writing. There are many flaws with my writing, mostly tenses and sentence structure. I really want to improve upon those areas because I want to both become a better writer on here and become more popular. I don't think I could handle becoming famous on here, but I would like to be well known in a few years. So to sum it up again I will be taking a break to focus on improving my writing.
What will happen in that break period? First, I will be writing a few stories about select friends to try out different ideas on here. I also have two Twokinds edits I want to polish up and post. I even am considering trying to draw more and become better at art. If I'm spending a few hours on stories, I can easily spend that much time on an art piece, all be it low quality. Lastly I still plan on commissioning art as usual.
What will I post when I come back? Tough to say. I have really wanted to do an interactive story with different plot lines. That could be my grand story for returning. I would also love to do a Twokinds fanfic series, but I would really have to improve my writing to pull it off. More than likely it will be one of those two ideas.
At the moment that's all I have. I will add more if there is anything else that needs to be said. Life atm for me is good and what not. For now though, have a good April!
Sentient Diaper is finally finished
The good news is that I worked my butt off and finally finished the Sentient Diaper series! There are four more parts of various length and themes. I hope you guys are excited to see the finished product! I plan on posting a part every saturday in April, that way all 4 parts are up this month.
As well as that, I am definitively going to be taking a long break from that topic as it has dominated my account for the past... really year. I think it's time to move on to different areas I want to explore. Is this the end of the idea? No, I want to get more art of it later. I just can't write about this stuff any more.
If you want to see more stuff about it, check out the original inventor
babyfox1800 or check out 
crinklecuddles who is making some utterly amazing work about his character and it's sentient padding. :)I will be soon taking a break from stories for the foreseeable future.
When I started out writing stories I did it mostly for fun and to test out ideas. Now that I have nearly 400 watchers I want to try and improve my writing.

March Update: the return, Pokemon, and future story plans
General | Posted 7 years agoHey all! I have returned after being silent for 2 weeks. Here are some things you should know / stuff I want to talk about.
Stories and Future Series
I have made a realization that I have to take a break from writing series. Besides the fact that I take way too long in between parts to sufficiently post and maintain content, they are not nearly as high quality as I would like them to be. I have read a few story series while I was gone, some new from favorite artists and some old ones I had enjoyed, and realized that my writing style is still very flawed. I don't have good sentence structure, there is a lot of repetition, and the dialogue and details are greatly lacking.
Therefore this will be my last series for a while. I plan on pushing out the last parts of the current one (sentient diaper) as fast as I can while still maintaining some semblance of quality. Then I will take a break from long story writing and focus on short stories. My next series I would love to do another Twokinds fanfic, but in order to succeed at that I'm going to have to do a lot of development as I really want to write a high quality piece if I was to write on a series as... down right amazing as Twokinds. From there I have some ideas to sequels but I'm not at that point yet. From there no ideas come to mind for future stories.
So yeah. Summed up I need to develop my writing more, to make it more detailed and interesting plus I have to find ways of writing more quickly.
Social activity on here
I am going to change my philosophy about commenting on here. As I said before, my goal the past few months was to comment on as much art as I can giving each piece I find and found enjoyable as much praise as I could. However, recently this has quickly backfired on me as comments I left with good intentions on other pics had somehow been interpreted as insults by other artists and I managed to make a few enemies in February. This led to me being AFK on here, so I think I''m just going to go back to lurking and not post any more comments on other art. It's not worth... I want to say something rude, but I'll just say routinely praising artists only for one comment to land you either banned or in hot water with someone. Ugh...
Pokemon Gen 8:
Last piece I want to touch on, new pokemon baby!!!
What I liked: It's based on a real region (UK,) the graphics look amazing, so far not as many new pokemon which shows they can make games without pumping out hundreds of new ones, for some reason they put the Carne Abbus Giant in the game even though I think it's a kids game?
I have no idea what starter team I am on yet. I know a lot of people like the fire and water ones but IMO I'm not impressed with any yet. My guess is like gen 6 they all turn into much cooler ones their 2nd or 3rd evolutions. So I'm still undecided.
In any case, I'm super pumped for the release! My guess is Thanksgiving.

I will return March 1st
General | Posted 7 years agoHey guys, just wanted to let you know I'll come back march first. I'm feeling a lot better but I still want to take some time off from this webpage, but I will return with an update with important stuff and some commissions that were backlogged.
Thanks for everyone that has commented, faved, or watched me. I will be thanking you all separately when I return.
Until then.

I'm going to be taking a break (rant)
General | Posted 7 years agoSo, getting straight to the point, this has not been a good weekend at all for me in furry world. IRL it's been great, which adds to the point where if something is bumming you out why continue it?
Definitively the main reason for doing so is because I have inadvertently stepped on a lot of people's toes this week which is something I never intend on doing.
So, my philosophy the past few months has been to comment on as many pieces of art that I find beautiful or appealing to me. I have been doing so, commenting on a bunch of people's art saying how great it is and similar stuff.
I tend to think I am a nice person, I get told that a lot and I feel my actions towards others reflect it. So what I'm upset about is, like, 999 out of 1,000 comments I'll tell someone how great they are. And I'll get back an ok, thanks, or nothing at all from them. Then, one of the 1k comments either I'll tell a joke that doesn't get across, misinterpret something, or the compliment is misinterpreted, leading to issues.
So this weekend, be it an artist, viewer, fan, or streamer I've gotten cursed out, ranted about on twitter, banned, insulted, etc. and it's pretty depressing not gonna lie. Especially since some of these people I've been fans of for years and commented on their stuff numerous times. It's just very disheartening saying so much kind things to people and then one slip up and its game over. Without getting any praise or affection back in return.
So... more than likely I'm going to change my philosophy to where I just stfu and stay in my lane. Which isn't a bad thing, I've been vocal on here for 2 or 3 years and met a lot of amazing people. I'm content with having them as friends/aquaitences. Just a shame when you try to make new friends and you get attacked instead. The result ends up with me feeling suffocated by the fandom right now and under-appreciated, which I hear is normal in this fandom.
My guess is I'll be gone a week to clear my head. I've also cranked out two stories and a pic in the span of a weekend which is a lot of work for me. That should hopefully be enough to keep you all satisfied. In that time I won't respond to comments or anything, I may even try deactivating my account. When I come back I'll have a few back logged coms to post. You'll know I'm back when this journal is no longer featured.

Nintendo 2.13 direct thoughts
General | Posted 7 years agoThis direct I really had low expectations. Metriod 4 and Animal Crossing are still probably still in development, plus those are games they should show at E3 not a direct. So it wasn't a surprise to me that they weren't shown. I thought they would have shown another trailer for Luigi's Mansion 3 and more of Joker, but really I didn't expect much. Anyway, here are my reactions to the direct:
1: Mario maker 2 looks great.
2: A marvel game on switch? That opens up the possibility for Thanos being in Smash (A joke, not a fan of the idea.)
3: Smash update for new stuff is always awesome. We also got to finally see Joker's character model. I'm getting a strong Robin vibe off him, I'm really hoping he doesn't use his dagger as a sword. I think it would be really cool, but unrealistic for his main gimmick to use a copy ability like Kirby for his personas. Or he could be like Shulk and swap through some. Also, more amiibo ^^
4: Captain Toad Odyssey DLC but not actual Odyssey DLC? :/
5: Bloodstained is the closest we'll get to a Castlevania anytime soon.
6: Dragon Quest seems to use a lot of re-used concepts from numerous games (BotW, Xenoblade, Skyrim, and many more.) Could be good or bad.
7: RIP any hope of there being a Nintendo produced Star Fox game that isn't 3rd part developed or a 64 clone. :(
8: Rune Factory looks like anime Stardew Valley with Animal Crossing fishing... I might be interested.
9: I can 100% confirm that generic white hair sword girl from this new fire emblem game will be DLC challenger #2 for Smash.
Jokes aside, this fire emblem game looks pretty interesting, and looks to go much deeper than the other series do with skills and bonds.
10: I really dislike Battle Royal games, but as crazy as it sounds I really like the idea of a Tetris BR. Lots of competition and if you lose there probably isn't much layover until the next game.
11: There are a TON of ports coming to the Nintendo Switch. While I won't play many of them, I enjoy getting some more popular games under the Nintendo domain.
12: Make a Forza/Need for Speed clone but not an F-zero? >:/
13: Mortal Kombat 11 port was a surprise. Again, fighting game on switch? Street Fighter, Virtual Fighter, Pokken... could be a character coming to smash from MK11.
14: Assassin's Creed on Switch was a surprise I never thought could happen. Not a fan of the series and 3 is the worst one according to my friend who is die hard about it. But happy to see a big name title ported.
15: Astral Chain looks like Detroit but with Spoderman fighting mechanics. Caught my eye. I trust any game developed by the Bayonetta producers will be good.
16: The new Zelda game looks cute. I like how they went for 3DS style rather than the next big graphical accomplishment.
17: Chocobo Mystery Dungeon, if it's like the pokemon ones, will be a masterpiece.

2019 Queue
General | Posted 7 years agoI figured I might as well do another one of these so that people know where I'm at and what to expect.
Order will be top to bottom based upon how close to completion each one is.
Sentient Diaper part 8: Outlined
Diaper + pretend bullying: Outlined
** Once everything is off my queue I want to do a lot more Twokinds edits / fanfics **

Feb 2019 Update
General | Posted 7 years agoHey all, thought I would do another update for February. Life has been good, no worries there. This update discusses winter plans for this account.
Commissions:
I have a commission on backlog, and a commission in the works, and that's about it. With tax season fast approaching I do not want to spend much money on art until I finalize my taxes. I live in a northern area so the cold weather has made my work schedule very slow (which is fine because I like to relax :] however, since I haven't been working as much I'm not in the mood to blow some on art.) Because of these factors, I will not get much art until spring.
As well as that, I am planning on only focusing on ideas I have wanted to get drawn for a while rather than any random idea. This will involve looking at many artists and potentially getting a pricier com than normal in order to get the concept I imagine. I do like getting art, so one spontaneous pic or YCH could appear, but I want to try to be more responsible about getting art on here.
Art/Stories:
Besides the fact I have zero time since I'm starting a new job this month, my ideas are far too complicated for my puny art skills, so no drawings in Feb from me.
Story wise, I have three on my queue currently: An underwear/magic story, Sentient diaper part 8, and Hypno Nathan Finale.
The biggest problem I am having right now is that finale. Its surprisingly gory and to be honest to make it somewhat close to what I wanted I would have to edit it so much to the point I was writing a new story. Which completely defeats the purpose of my commissioning it. So for right now that is on hiatus. In the mean time I am over half way on the underwear story and have part 8 plotted out. So I'm hoping at least one of them come out in february.
Thats where this profile stands at this point. Also, I have a question for my watchers and regular viewers: Should I re-organize my gallery and add folders to it? I mainly like underwear and diapers, but I know for my underwear people that is a huge turn off. Would it be better to organize my art into folders to that underwear people can have an underwear folder of art to browse through to skip all the diaper art? Let me know in the comments.
Have a great month everyone!

Happy New Years + 2019 uploads
General | Posted 7 years agoHello all! Happy New years! I wanted to make this journal to tell you what to expect from this account in 2019 and just general life updates.
Life:
I felt that 2018 was a roller coaster where there were a lot of up and downs. However there were certainly a lot more ups than downs in my life last year. I finished an amazing clinical and graduated from college in the spring. In the Summer I toured all over the US (Alaska, Florida, and New York were the most memorable ones.) Fall I managed to snag two part time jobs and Winter I spent the majority of playing video games which I love and haven't done for a while!
2019 I plan on doing a lot of things with my life. I have about a dozen life improving goals I want to achieve, and along with my jobs it means my free time to write and do stuff related to here is going to decrease. Then again I took two very long hiatuses this year, but managed to turn out a lot of stuff IMO. You can expect around the same amount of art this year as well.
Stories
There are a lot of directions I can go story wise, here is where I'm at right now:
I still have not posted the last part of the commissioned story to Hypnotized Nathan. There is a fair amount of editing I want to do with the part before I upload it (mainly because the original contained gore which I am not a fan of) so eventually that should be uploaded. Sorry for those that have been waiting forever.
I have a few one offs I have thought about writing, and I'm 4 pages into one of them. I will work on those sporadically when I have free time and get tired working on series.
I know that a lot of my watchers / regular viewers have wanted this, so I will deliver on it. I have outlined the entirety of the sentient diaper series, and will plan on finishing it this year. I had a bunch of ideas I wanted to do with this concept and have devised a story chart to where most of them can be completed. Once all of those ideas run out there will be no where to really go with this story, and thus it will end. It's going to be either 10 or 11 parts, as of this journal we are on part 7. These parts are going to be shorter than the Possessed Pants series and the Hypnotized Nathan stories, that is because the plot to this one is much weaker and I feel that I can pump these stories out much quicker writing 5 - 10 page parts rather than 10-15 page chapters.
I also might go back and write add on stories to previous titles, or AU stories that separate into a different story path. Just for fun.
I am unsure of what my next series will be. My guess is it will be another Twokinds fanfic. I've tried to improve my writing for another one and feel like I might be able to pull it off.
Another thing I would love to do is make an interactive story. I've browsed the web and found one or two apps that sound promising. I think I will look at those once I finish my current series and write a solid story + web plots to go with it. Doing 2 series at once is what created my 2nd hiatus, I want to only complete what I have the ability to do so.
Art:
I might try and draw some more stuff, absolutely no promises on that.
Commissions:
At the moment I have two commissions in the works and there is a third one I am getting with a friend. Those are the only coms I have backlogged.
My main goal is to get art of ideas I have had for a long time but never found an artist to match the concept with. This will be my #1 goal in 2019 art wise. However, I will have to pay taxes in April, so I'm not going to commission a lot of pics until I know what my tax situation looks like. I'll probably buy a lot more art in the summer rather than Jan - Apr.
Artists I want to commission in 2019:
Lilchu, EdyHelado, Charlie-Loz, Padded-Ulf, Catmonkshiro, Dr. Josh Fox, Tato.
- Plus i have 5 other ideas I need to match up with artists. We'll see how much of those get done.
That about does it. Can't wait to see how this year unfolds. Let's make it a good one! ^^

Happy Holidays
General | Posted 7 years agoHey all! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my watchers, fav'ers, or people reading this. I hope you get something good! :3
I'll probably make another journal at new years to tell you what direction this page will go in during 2019.

Regarding the Sentient Diaper series.
General | Posted 7 years agoBeing honest this series started out as a fun concept that I got a pic or two of. Writing the story it was back when I wasn't such an experienced writer and it was more just to flesh out an idea or two. I had no idea that this would turn out to be such a popular series (most parts have 1,000+ views which is massive for a small writer like me.) So because of this I was unready to continue the series.
Why the long delay? Because there was no plot to begin with and that made it very difficult to make a 6th part. I re-wrote this part 3 times before going on a long hiatus with it. Being asked numerous times to continue the series, I decided to re-work the plot and and come up with more ideas.
Currently I am almost finished with part 6. Fair warning, it's pretty not good thanks to how many times I had to re-write it. However, it's a start to an actual plot, and more importantly I am better at writing than I was a year ago, so after this part I am hoping that the writing sees a drastic improvement in quality come part 7.
So I will try to continue it. I am not sure if this plot will work or not. But we will go with it and hopefully the ideas I have for this series come out well. Both in terms of quality writing and people enjoying the content. We shall see.

Pokemon Let's Go! Review
General | Posted 7 years agoBasic info:
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee combines one of the most popular mobile phone games ever in Pokemon Go with the original gen 1 kanto Pokemon games. Gen 1 as in Yellow, not Red/Green/Blue. These two aspects are combined into a brand new 3D remake!
The plot follows the same storyline with the generation one games. You're a young trainer embarking on a journey to both help Professor Oak complete the Pokedex and challenge the gym leaders to claim the title of Pokemon League Champion, the strongest trainer in Kanto! The story functions the same, but there are a lot of parts that have either been changed or parts added to make it feel like a different adventure.
The biggest change to the story has to be that this is a different universe where you embark on your journey at the same time that Red and Blue did in the originals. However, Blue and Red completed their pokemon journey three years before the player's story takes place. So while the player and rival complete the main story quest Blue will come into the story every now and then to give the player help and advice. So cannon wise it takes place in an AU earlier but similar to Johto where Blue and Red function as mentors.
Gameplay wise the biggest addition was the new catching feature. Where instead of a battle you immediately start chucking poke balls at the pokemon like in Pokemon Go, or even the safari zone for another comparison. You can even connect the game to Pokemon Go and send the pokemon from your phone into the game and use them! This helps in obtaining the pokemon that are version specific or need trades to be obtained.
Once you hit Silph Co. the game lets you decide difficulty. You can battle every trainer you meet along the way and become massively over-leveled by the time you finish the game or you can avoid most trainers to increase the difficulty since you would be under-leveled. Up to you. (the road to Fuchsia City and Silph Co. are my examples of this.)[Also the highest level you will face in-game is 57. enter the elite 4 under or over leveled based on what difficulty you want.]
Best features:
1: By far the best feature is hearing these classic tunes orchestrated. The dramatic increase in quality highlighted by the string instruments brings back a huge sense of nostalgia.
2: Along with improved music, the graphics were completely redone. It feels very similar used to the style Gen 6 used. The characters are stubby but you can see detailed body parts, expressions, and you can change your wardrobe. The houses and environments were given a boost too making it seem more realistic. Better yet it makes the game feel like a brand new experience along with the cutscenes.
3: The catching feature greatly speeds up the game. Instead of random tall grass encounters the pokemon pop up randomly in 3D models so that players can scurry around them if they don't want to face them. As well as that, catching them gives you the same EXP boosts as you used to get KO'ing wild Pokemon, which makes the the game work similar to old times. All pokemon get EXP for the pokemon caught making it easier to level up weak pokemon and reduces the grinding aspect. This makes areas like the Pokemon Mansion actually explorable.
4: The subtle easter eggs and references to the original games and Johto were a nice touch. Made me laugh and reminisce.
5: You can challenge the gym leaders once a day after becoming champion like you could do in HG/SS.
6: Blue adds a mentor figure to the game. It's interesting seeing him act as more of a helpful hero being a former champion and all instead of the arrogant snob he was in the originals.
Biggest flaws:
1: The new rival looks like a deformed mutant facially and his personality is similar to the Gen 6 group where their personality is monotone and boring. At least the Gen 6 people had a characteristic that was beaten to the ground with them, this dude is just boring!
2: Biggest flaw by far is the catching feature. I said it sped the game up and was great in that area, but it is still greatly flawed. There is no consistency in catching pokemon which makes it infuriating. You can throw a great ball and have it break out in 3 with a great throw, then throw an excellent throw with a great ball and have it break out in 2 shakes! That makes no sense! Worst part is that since the pokemon can flee, getting EXP isn't guaranteed, so that sometimes you throw poke balls for 2 minutes and get nothing to show for it!
The motion controls are awful too. I recommend using either hand held mode or the poke ball, as using the joy cons to throw the poke balls is nearly impossible.
Pokeballs you can earn after defeating trainers which helps you sustain your supply for a while, but after you become champion you are going to need to buy them on your own, and with how expensive Ultra Balls are and how easy Pokemon break out of great and poke balls, it becomes an expensive hobby.
They also kept the glitch from Pokemon Go in where sometimes you can't get anymore than a few bumps before they break out. It can be with an ultra ball and an excellent, the game is going to let you catch pokemon only when it feels like it.
3: Catch Combos are nearly impossible to get over 10 with facing pokemon with anything harder than a green circle. If the pokemon runs away it's game over and like I said earlier any pokemon that is yellow or harder good luck with anything less than an ultra ball. Considering you need to get into the 200s before you even have a chance of seeing a shiny, and good luck. It's infuriating! Plus the combo does not save if you turn the system off or catch a different species. (pro tip: you can run away from pokemon after throwing poke balls and it will still count as continuing the combo.)
4: Grinding was my biggest complaint of the original games, Kanto seemed very bare bones to me as it was the first one and just seemed like endless repetition. This game really helps make the game fun and exciting, but after the third badge the game becomes a huge grind session.
5: post game is very boring. Catching them all and battling Red are about the only things fun. Nintendo made it so that the main feature would be "master trainers." What this means is that new trainers appear and have level 75 pokemon, the fight will be a 1v1 of that pokemon. So for instance, it will be like a Caterpie going up against a level 75 perfect IV Caterpie. So that you now need to catch a perfect IV caterpie through a 100 catch combo then grind it up to level 75. Not sure how they thought that was a good idea.
6: Lag. Any area having more than 6 pokemon in it at one time will make the game run from 60 fps to 15 fps. Viridian Forest is the best example of this.
7: No daycare eggs which means you can't breed for IVs or get pre-evolved forms. Also no abilities.
8: The app is one way, meaning you can only send Pokemon from your phone to your switch, not the other way around. If the transfer messes up you have now also lost that pokemon forever.
Overall Impression:
Pokemon Lets Go combines a remade version of Pokemon Yellow with the mechanics of Pokemon Go. This game is targeted towards fans who grew up in Kanto and the new players riding the fad. For those people I would recommend buying this game if you already have a Switch. For those in the middle, Pokemon Sun and Moon or Pokemon OR/AS would be my recommendations. (Or, you know, SMASH)
This game is a solid remake of Gen 1, but the Go mechanics are flawed and really take away from the good things this game has, which is made more noticeable and infuriating when the game gets further on in and post game.
If I was to grade this I would give it a 6/10.
It held my attention throughout the duration and then lost me post game with the endless, impossible grind sessions. Good game, but other pokemon games are better. And with Smash Ultimate being out for a week this game is already long and forgotten.

Thanksgiving update + 300 watchers!
General | Posted 7 years agoHey all, here is my update:
First and foremost, I hope that everyone is enjoying Thanksgiving! If you aren't a part of the US then have something turkey to eat and hug one of your family members.
We hit an important milestone today: 300 watchers! I can't tell you all how happy I am to have all this attention. I love all my watchers and cannot thank them enough for giving me support! I have two pics and a story backlogged, since we hit this milestone I will post all of them before the end of the week. Again thank you so much for all the watches!
I'm going to be very busy this holiday season. From November 30 to Dec 8 I will be on a vacation without access to the internet. So my account will be dormant and I will not be able to respond to comments. When I get back I will set everything back up.
Lastly this November I am not going to get any art because I want to save up for december. I have a couple pics I want go get as gifts for my friends on here. Then afterwards I am planning on getting a lot of coms done that I have wanted to get for a while now. By that I mean commission things I really want rather than spontaneous ideas.
So that sums up my plans for the rest of the year and my status up to today. Enjoy your thanksgiving everyone!

United States citizens, make sure to vote!
General | Posted 7 years agoFriendly reminder: Nov 6 is the midterm election. What this means is 470 out of the 538 seats in the Legislative Branch are up for grabs. Honestly this is just as important as the presidential election because Congress has a ton of power in our government. Please do your civic duty and vote this year. You can vote early over the weekend when you have time or on Tuesday November 6 at your closest polling station.
I went today and it wasn't hard, took about 30-40 minutes to do. Make sure when you go you have either your driver's license, know your SSN, or have some form of document so that they can prove your ID.
Comments are disabled for this journal. I don't want to see a political argument form in this for something that isn't even political, it's your civic right to vote. Any attempts to start a political argument in my shouts or through notes will result in a block.

Smash Bros Ultimate Final Direct Opinions
General | Posted 7 years agoHey everyone, I waited a few days to post this so people could watch it if they needed more time. Wanted to talk about my views on the last Smash direct.
-- Characters --
Regarding the characters, I think that Ken was an easy one to put in so I am fine with it. There seems to be a lot of new Smash fans coming over from the Street Fighter series. So adding an echo fighter to help please them was a good PR move. Incineroar I feel the same way I did with Corrin. Looks interesting, but would have rather seen someone else. Was hoping that the Pokemon fighting types would stay in Pokken, but there are a lot worse choices then it. Piranha Plant... is a thing? I'm with the people where that effort could have been used for a different character but it still looks like a really funny character to use.
While I am surprised that they didn't go crazy with echo fighters, one of the two main points I have about this direct is that this roster is a thing of beauty! As fans we cannot ask for much more with everyone they have given us. I feel like people are now complaining about random clones or characters so minor that the majority of players would not recognize the game. The worst bandwagon guilty of this is the Shadow crowd (Waluigi is a meme so I am excluding him.) Sure we all have one fighter to where if he/she/it was included it would blow our mind, but honestly we have to be thankful for so much work and the grand scale of everything.
That being said 5 DLC characters confirmed! and 5 stages too! Super hyped about that. No idea who they will end up being, but if I was to take logical guesses of 3rd party characters with influences on the switch, my guesses would be: Rayman, Sans, Banjo-Kazooie, and Crash bandicoot. #5 will probably be someone no one could ever predict like Billy Hatcher or something crazy like that.
-- Random stuff --
Online play looks alright. I rarely go online because I still think of Brawl's servers whenever I hear about online play. Hopefully it works a little better.
-- World of Light --
Adventure Mode was the biggest thing that I wanted in this game, and is my main focus of this journal.
This looks like the most balanced Smash Bros. game since Melee. Brawl was all about the fun, new stages, and Subspace Emissary. While this was great for people like me, I know a lot of competitive fans went as far as to stop playing the game and go back to Melee. Visa-Versa, Smash 4 was super competitive. That meant a lot of lackluster modes (All star was awful due to grinding 50+ characters through fights, while Smash Tour should have never been a thing.) As well as a lot of flat stages (why were smashville and town + city in the same game?) So this made Smash 4 seem very underwhelming to me. Smash Ultimate does a lot right. They made Classic more like the original's, a lot of different fighting modes, 103 stages the majority of which are good (RIP Melee mute city and Poke Floats,) new fighters, and really everything else that appeals to every Smash fan's desire.
So with the new adventure mode aiming to be both fun and tell a story, what did I think?
Telling the truth, I can't really form an opinion of it just yet.
Right off the bat it looks like a mix between Emissary which is great and Smash Tour which is even worse than the tripping mechanics. If you analyzed the trailer in depth, you will see that this board or whatever over world it has is massive! There are a lot of areas to discover and different fighters to use as avatars to move around the board with. (I also saw Lapras, Rathalos, and the Great Fox being used as avatars.) There even appears to be an enhancement chart like there is in Skyrim.
Unlike Emissary, it does not appear that we will be entering levels of strange new worlds and exploring them to develop plot and unlock new characters. Instead we will be fighting numerous spirit clones and defeating them to progress. While I do not like the idea of it, there was a lot of annoyances in traveling the worlds in Brawl and it might progress faster.
The big thing for me is the cutscenes. Emissary was amazing solely because of these. Watching your favorite character cinematically come out of no where and do something epic was just incredible to see. From the trailer it looks like we will have the same opening as the trailer showed, as well as a short cutscene for boss battles. Still, I am a bit worried though because I didn't see anything else in the trailer that hinted at those.
Basically, if there are cutscenes sprawled out throughout the worlds, this is going to be the greatest game ever created. If not, like SSB4 this game is going to feel like a huge component of it is missing and will be a major let down for people like myself. Smash Ultimate isn't going to be very ultimate if it's adventure mode is a dolled up version of Smash Tour. Please let it be like Brawl's and not something garbage.

November Update
General | Posted 7 years agoHello everyone! Here is what is in store for November.
Story wise I do not plan on doing any writing. I might do a story or two about introducing my character Isaac formally, but that might still be a future thing. What I am going to do this November is collaborate with one of my friends who shall remain anonymous (unless he wants me to mention him) and brainstorm the rest of the Sentient Diaper series. I am hoping to write about it again in December, but Smash Ultimate might delay it (that trailer tho <3)
I've noticed that I have a backlog of pictures. Not only that, we are fast approaching 300 watchers! Thanks so much everyone! When we hit that milestone I'm just going to do an art dump and post a lot of them at once. Commissions I am getting at a slow but steady rate. I have 1 ordered so far for November, nothing else yet.
Thats about everything art related on the page. I'll post an update below if I think of anything else. Enjoy your November! :3

What I am going to do this November is collaborate with one of my friends who shall remain anonymous (unless he wants me to mention him) and brainstorm the rest of the Sentient Diaper series. I am hoping to write about it again in December, but Smash Ultimate might delay it (that trailer tho <3)
I've noticed that I have a backlog of pictures. Not only that, we are fast approaching 300 watchers! Thanks so much everyone! When we hit that milestone I'm just going to do an art dump and post a lot of them at once. Commissions I am getting at a slow but steady rate. I have 1 ordered so far for November, nothing else yet.

Watch out for scams on FA
General | Posted 7 years agoRecently there has been a new scam on FA, I have gotten two of these already and want to let others know about it.
Pretty much you receive a note by a random user titled "hi, liked you" and inside the note contains a link with a message about how they are a huge fan and would like to do inappropriate things with you IRL. If you click the link your computer more than likely will get some form of virus or other computer problem.
Make sure if you get one of those to never click the link, report the user, and delete the note permanently.
**Update** Just got my 3rd one today

I have a few one-off stories in mind for October
General | Posted 7 years agoI've been thinking about writing some more this October. The ideas of Halloween and all the other weird October trends have really convinced me that i should at least do something for it. That way when December comes I won't be as rusty. Plus I want to try and improve my writing ability, so more practice would be good.
I want to do two ideas for October themes. I also have 2 stories I want to do for introducing my "new" character Isaac. I might get some art of him in the far away future. So it would be nice to have a background on him at least so people knew what he was about.
