I wanna try designing Umamusume characters based on horse Pokemon.
We'll see if I remember how to draw once I'm fully moved into my new place. 🙂

FCs of the day.
Oops there two. I'd already gotten my FC for the day, but then Shadow Shadow showed up in multiplayer and I hadn't FC'd it at any difficulty yet, so I couldn't avoid it.

A list of two Steam products. FIGHTING EX LAYER is $1.29 CDN, and the Terry character DLC is $5.69 (CDN). Terry is the guy with the iconic Fatal Fury hat and long yellow ponytail btw

Would you rather buy the base game for you and your three friends or one single Terry Bogard (base game not included)

Why did I think that logo in the third one was the MLB logo?

For all I know, they might not even make her playable. Maybe she'll just be another, like, boss horse like Almond Eye currently is, but at the same time I feel like they'd be stupid not to let people pull for her.

I shall be watching with great interest. 🙂

Like, the main reason I didn't see CyGames ever adding foreign horses as playable trainees is because the game is set solely in Japan and they wouldn't be able to build a career mode around them, and then here's Forever Young showing up with only about half of his races taking place in Japan.

Screenshot of a Twitter post by the Japanese Umamusume account, showing a teaser with a character's silhouette and the date 2026.02.24 (the 5th anniversary of the game). The character in the silhouette is theorised to be Forever Young, a horse belonging to CyberAgent's president Susumu Fujita, based on the the three tags not silhouetted (representing the horse's three G1 wins) and the date shown on the teaser (Forever Young's birthday).

So apparently CyGames is planning to add Forever Young, a horse belonging to their parent company's president to Umamusume, and on one hand, the horse seems pretty cool, on the other, I'm really wondering how this will work in game when most of the horse's big wins were overseas.

You are a hardware store, why do you have a fucking AI chatbot?

bigger than before

Okay so, going by today's results, I can make about 5 trips back and forth to my new apartment before I completely run out of energy and need to rest. We'll see how that changes once I get that trolley for the big things.

Side note, wish I could have done this not on the edge of summer. 😅

Panel 1: Character in blue (Miistve) lays in bed, fully awake, next to a window. He says "Ah, truly the scariest thing to encounter this night." Panel 2: Miistve is now leaning out of his window, revealed to be on the roof of his house. The house next door appears to have flashing lights inside, and is blaring music. Miistve finishes his previous thought with "Insomnia."

Merry Halloweenmas. I'm eepy.

Beat her on my first attempt, but also that was frighteningly close.

Mornin' folks.
R.I.P. my arms.
Welp, time to put them through even more today. 🙂
Hope y'all have a good day.

Bed time.
I fear how my arms are being to feel in the morning. They already felt like they were ready to fall off earlier. I really don't get enough exercise.
I'll get there though. Soon enough it'll all be sorted and I can put this behind me.
G'night.

A new event has started... But before that, two new All Perfects. 🙂

Many such cases.

Happy birthday!
Merry Sylvimas!

New(?) Fanfics~
Not actually new, but I've uploaded my two King For Another Day Tournament fanfics over on AO3 now, seeing as I barely use DeviantArt anymore and a recent comment reminded me these old fics existed. 🙂

I feel like I have severely overestimated my arm strength and capacity for carrying things. 😅

Did manage to make a few trips over to my new place to drop off my stuff though. Gonna order a trolley or something so I can roll the larger stuff there instead of carrying it.

I watched the replay and I am still no closer to understanding what happened there.

I think she got debuffed coming out of the final turn, but like... 1st all the way down to 13th? What the heck happened?

Honey what?

Mornin' folks.
Well, that's gotta be the worst sleep I've had in a long time. And surprisingly, it wasn't the late proofreading session that did it.
Some place near me must have been having a Halloween party or something, there was music blaring past midnight. 🙃
Hope y'all have a good day.

Bed time.
I've got a big weekend ahead of me, so I should probably be trying to make sure I get to sleep on time and get enough rest.
...Instead I'm going to stay up a bit longer proofreading a fanfic I wrote 6 years ago so I can put it up on AO3 instead of leaving it only on deviantArt. 🙂
G'night.

Almost forgot to post it, oops.

Scribble of a little sheet ghost.

Merry Weenmas.

Keys obtained. >:)

Bruh, the real estate guy wasn't ready yet, so now I've just gotta awkwardly sit here until he finishes his report. 😅

Tfw I aim to be at my destination a little early in order to account for any delays in public transport, but the public transport ends up being faster than expected so now I'm even earlier.
