Hello hello! It's a little weird to be back here after all that's happened, but I thought I'd just update y'all because:

- I ended up finding a job. A very good one, if I say so myself. Of course every job has its downsides but I seriously can't complain. And I've already made it to have been working there for a year! And my name is on the credits as QA Tester for NBA 2K26!
- Mentally, I have never been better. I still deal with depression and what seems to be autism or something akin to that (getting a proper diagnosis would be counterproductive in this country as I'm in the very much functional spectrum), but it's been more manageable with a proper support system.
- That's another thing, I have a great support system. I'm extremely proud of that as it's something I've made a point to work on after coming from a very sticky situation, to say the least.


I've kept posting art on other social media, but even if here on FA I never make numbers or anything it's always been on the back of my mind as the place I got more constant support on (that, and tumblr believe it or not). Now that I'm extremely unhappy on how X works, and I'm using bsky more but it's not really my favorite place to post art on, coming back with my head down and a small apology for my absence seems like the right thing to do.

So sorry for my absence and lack of communication, love you all, I'll be dumping a lot of art here from the past uuuh year or so.

Oh and I wanted to rebrand to protosaru for the account but then remembered the site doesn't allow username changes. That's a shame, oh well, I hope I'm not only a monkey to you but also renown user protosaru on the internet (I am only famous to like 2 buddies of mine).
