IT IS GOING TO BE A BANGER. Lots of open spots for you people. i highly recommened this one as well. its gonna be some spooky goodness.

⋆｡°✩ ARTIST SHOUTOUT ✩°｡⋆

Glorious day for people who are exact clones of me, and live for 2000s girly media and cute bugs. i am very excited to share these artists with you.

✪ ARTIST NO. 1: @MujisFavoryCake ✪

 due to the nature of newgrounds, you may often come across an artist who has no where near the amount of followers you thought they would. this is probably due to how tight knit the community is, and the lack of algorithim but i am very pleased to show you all a very hidden gem today with this artist.

this was the piece i have discovered this artist by, and also the one that inspired me to immediately start typing up this new installment of shoutouts. i LOVE lps, rarely do i see it represented here on newgrounds. i knew what this cat was even before i clicked on the full image. this piece has captured the lps style fantastically, and has lovely colors to boot.

this one is VERY on time since the new episode of digital circus releases today! i adore this interpretation of these characters. jax looks perfectly mischievous with his :3 mouth and pomni is adorable, i love her little curls of hair. The colors are fantastic and the shading is amazing

✪ ARTIST NO. 2: @Stikkerz ✪

you like bugs? no? trick question, you have no free will. the answer is yes.

get a LOAD of this fella. I think we very rarely get to see traditional artists on newgrounds, so its very fun when we do find one. the colors are very clean and nice, as well as the linework. i really love the concept for this oc too, i assume it is modeled off one of those children's toys of caterpillars that have colorful buttons you press to make music. It is very cute, and i love it.

i was talkin about bugs earlier but, BOO surprise ragatha posting. ragatha is my fav digital circus member, so that makes this already lovable art even more easy to love. her hair is fantastic, and i love her little grump face. the pose is fun, and the shaking lines on the outside do good to convery this poor dolls inner rage.

alright thats IT for this installement! live laugh love and follow the people i've mentioned here. this is 1984, and i am big brother. i will KNOW if you dont. just kidding of course!... OR AM I

Anyways byeee

well wife nation... it has been a while, and i've decided its finally TIME for a new artist shoutout. get ready to get straight Fire content beamed into your eyeballs..

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ COLLABS TO CHECK OUT ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

reader, if you asked me what collab im most excited to see put together right now, i would have to say @LegolaSS 's hexoween art collab. if you're a particularly passionate member of wife nation, you've no doubt seen Legola's fantastic artwork for the title and cover of the toybox collab as well as seen my own entry for hexoween.

come on, just LOOK at that banner. you KNOW this is going to be a banger.

get your butt over to this collab's home thread by clicking here!!!

i would put money down on this one turning out fantastic. currently every position in the collab is open! with opportunities for both unscouted and scouted artists, as well as musicians

you're sure to find a place to fit in with this collab!

⋆｡°✩ ARTIST SHOUTOUT ✩°｡⋆

lovers of vibrant colors and good vibes REJOICE; you're finding both those things in spades with these two artists. i like actually screamed out loud when i found both of these fellas on no particular day on the art portal.

✪ ARTIST NO. 1: @silverycryptid ✪

I freaking Louve monster high. do you know how often i find monster high art on the portal? Not a Lot! luckily the one time i have found it, it has been Utterly Amazing. MEET SILVERLY CRYPTID.

my only question? WHY ARE YOU NOT RUNNING THE FRONTPAGE SECTION LIKE THE NAVY. This is bangin'. precious expression, lively pose, amazing colors and BUG CONTENT?? i feel spoiled here. this does an amazing job of portraying the doll.

we can say UNDERATTEDDDDD

again, the colors are just beautiful. to draw one character beautiful is one thing, but to draw two together is an absolute expression of talent! this is a seriously sweet drawing.

✪ARTIST NO.2: @bugblast ✪

guys.... i think i've finally been out-whimsed.... Nervous gulp

PUTT PUTT... ITS BEEN AGES... The colors on this one are nothing short of fantastical. Love the linework, too. the warm sunny vibe cannot be denied. this is like, the art equivalent of waking up on a pleasant morning to some orange juice and pancakes. doesn't it just make you smile?

take a peek at this STRIKING abstract piece. i love it! i dont think i've ever showcased abstract work here before, isnt this an amazing first? this one is traditional art as well! i suppose bugblast isn't leaving any room for wonder for those who might question "yeah, but can they draw that good without digital software?"

thats it for today!! i hope you all have enjoyed these artists as much as i have. as usual when i write these, im surprised none of the work i have showcased has been frontpaged yet. i'll have to suggest them next time i get around to doing another haul for the front page suggestion thread!

the only thing i ask of you as we part ways, my reader, is that when you see amazing art like this.. is to pop the link to it in the front page suggestion thread!

linked here!

the front page suggestion thread is a fantastic resource for promoting other artists, as it puts their artwork directly in front of people who have the power to frontpage them. this is the only way a lot of artists can get frontpaged! it's a big site, and good artwork often slips through the cracks. dont let that happen! if you've ever wanted to support one of your favorite artists, posting them to this thread is an amazing, free and easy way to get some more eyes on their work

until next time, c'ya!

its a very big day for me, whimsical-wife as my preorder from yoo-tooz has finally arrived and i am now in the possession of one anya mouthwashing

literally JUST made a newspost not that long ago on how much i love anya so i dont need to reiterate any of that here, but man im super pumped to have finally gotten her. she comes with a little magnetic pill bottle and she is like WAY BIGGER than i expected her to be. i rate this plush 10/10 mouthwashes. cant wait for toothbrushing to be released.

hallo everyone. i've never like actually shared anything i've written beyond my close friends, so this is a little Nerve Wracking for me but i figured i'd give this years writers jam a try

i chose the prompt "facade". and worry not; i love bugs. the title is from the perspective of the main character of this story and not me, whimsical wife. i was sort of going for goosebumps vibes with this one but was unsure whether to rate it t or m but decided to play it safe and go with m. Didn't see any rating related rules so i hope Thats okay. Story is 2k words

Why I Hate Bugs

“Ah’ told ya’ ta’ stop bringin’ them damn bugs into mah house, Sammy!” my mother yelled at me from the kitchen. I looked down at the small, pale yellow cricket in my hand. The creature gave a slight jump and tilted its head at me, almost as if to ask “What’s her problem?”

“They don’t even bite…” I muttered. I hoped she didn’t overhear me, but she quickly returned with a “Ah’ don’t care! It’s mah house! Go on, git out with it!!”

Her accent always came out heavy when she yelled. I scurried back outside, not daring to argue back. 

I hopped down the worn, wooden steps of the trailer and skipped to the woods where I had found my little friend. Past the bunches of poison ivy and dull brown oak trees. When you say forest, someone from the city might imagine a beautiful mosaic of greens, and a lush grass carpet dotted with wildflowers. Not our forest. Its greatest claim was housing the local wildlife. Other than that, it was brown, brown and more brown. Since it was winter, it was somehow even more brown. 

I got down on my scuffed knees and set the little beast down by the flipped log I had retrieved it from. My insect friend refused to bug.

“C’mon now..” I grumbled, trying to sweep it off its perch. In response, it merely jumped to the side. My other hand moved to grab it, when I suddenly heard the sweetest sound.

“Oh please! Don’t make me go back into this freezing wasteland, child!”

It was the voice of an adult woman, A voice that sounded like a gentle lullaby.

“Right down here…” The insect in my palm cooed, peering up at me with innocent black eyes. “It was I who spoke, I am terribly sorry if I frightened you..”

“How.. How are you doing that?” I asked, stunned. “I’ve never heard of a bug that could talk..”

“Oh my dear… It is because I am no bug. I am an angel.”

“What?!” I exclaimed. “For real?”

“Yes.” She giggled. “I promise."

It made sense. I had thought she was a cricket, but when I really looked at her, she didn't seem like one at all. She was an iridescent goldy yellow, and her eyes were like freshly poured ink. Her antennae twirled into an lovely curl. Pale yellow vines seemed to be embroidered onto her delicate body. 

“I don’t think my mom would be too happy if I took you back inside. She doesn’t like bugs. You heard that.”

“She doesn’t have to know. Wouldn’t you be so proud to help an angel? This form won’t last much longer in this cold..”

I bit my lip. “Well, if I told my mom you were an angel.. She’d probably be fine with—”

“Oh no! You can’t!” the bug chirped frantically. “I’d die! I can only reveal myself to one person! The Lord told me I'd die!"

She was clearly distressed. I didn't want her to die! She seemed so kind, too.

“Alright. I guess Mom doesn’t have to know…” I slipped her back into the pocket of my overalls. She stared back up at me. “Oh, thank you child! You will be Blessed!”

‘Bark!! Bark!! Grrrrr… Arufff..…. Bark!” Biscuit snarled at me as I came back inside, his lips pulled bark into a snarl. He startled me.

“Now what is it?-- Oh for heaven’s sake, ya ol’ mutt. It's just Sammy.” Mom said, giving Biscuit a gentle whap on the rump with the oven mitt she had just taken off. “She’s yer’ sister.” She shook her head. “Dog’s gettin’ too old..”

Mom came over and ruffled my hair, completely messing it up. “Go wash up kiddo. I made hotdogs and fries.”

YAY. I love hot dogs.

I scampered to my room with Biscuit in tow. The old dog wouldn’t stop *growling*. I had never noticed the black spots on his gums before, because he had never growled at anyone before. Not at passing cars, mailmen or even the occasional Jehovah's witness. It was out of character

…

Maybe he knew I was disobeying Mom?

Oh gosh, that’s what it was right? She always told me dog’s could sense people’s true intentions. I was just trying to be helpful!

“Biscuit, shush..” I tried to scoot him away from my room, but he growled at me. That dog wouldn’t budge at all! Every push only earned another furious grizzle from the yellow lab.

I didn’t want Mom to find out about my angel friend because of Biscuit’s growling. What if she died because I couldn’t keep her secret? What if mom grounded me from the computer because I brought her back in? … Maybe that last part wasn’t so important..

I opened the door ever so slightly and squeezed through the small crack, managing to shut Biscuit out. I let out a sigh of relief as I had managed to get the angel (or, as mom had thought, bug) back inside MOSTLY undetected.. Thankfully Biscuit can’t speak like a human, or I’d be in a heap of trouble!

I put the small, buggy angel on the bottom floor of my doll house. “You can live here. I don’t really play with it anymore.” I said, feeling proud of myself for being able to provide her such a grand house.

“Hmmm..”

“What is it?”

“It’s just that… Hm… Well, I think I'd much rather live over here.”

The yellow critter hopped like a cricket over to the dark, damp corner near the doll house. She seemed to nestle into the musty carpet. “Yes, this will do nicely.” I stared at her with bewilderment. "Wouldn't you rather be in the doll house..? Its much cleaner.."

“The moisture is better for my joints.” She reassured me. “Don’t worry, the corner is just a better place for me than the doll house.”

Ioda. Her name was Ioda. That’s what the angel had told me.

She had started requesting more things from me. On the first night, she wanted a dab of ketchup. On the second night, she wanted some of the grease drippings off the hamburgers Mom had cooked. On the next day, she wanted the wrappings from the package of the steak Mom had cooked for Dad. 

It freaked me out, watching her lick the red juice from the packaging... She *had* to eat though! I couldn’t let her starve!

I clutched my arm as I walked back into my room. Biscuit had *bit* me! That dog that I had since I was a baby *bit* me! Thankfully it only caused a little bleeding! I didn’t wanna tell Mom about it. I was worried she’d somehow find out I was a liar. She almost caught me sneaking the steak packaging earlier.. Do you know how hard it is to explain to your mother why you're taking empty food wrappers to your room and not look suspicious?

“What’s wrong with your hand?” Ioda asked, her tone curious. She seemed pretty preoccupied when I came in, but was now giving me her full attention.

“Biscuit bit me.. He's actin' crazy..”

“Let me see it.”

I held out my hand and she hopped onto it. Ioda scurried to the wound and inspected it for a moment. Then her butterfly-like tongue darted out and licked the bite. I was properly freaked.

“Mhh.. Ah yes. I can fix this” she assured as her tongue darted out onto my injured skin. “How are you fixing it..? You're just lickin' it..” I asked. “I'm cleaning the blood.” Ioda replied. “My touch will make it heal much faster than normal.”

“.... I see..” I felt a bit dubious about it, but Ioda had never harmed me. I stood there for an awkward few minutes before she hopped off, and back into her corner of the room. She used her hind legs to ball up some loose pieces of carpeting into some strange, oval shape and then appeared to regurgitate my blood onto the piece of fabric.

“What… What are you doing?” I questioned. It looked disgusting.

Ioda paused for a moment, then continued to work on the ball. “It’s a gift. For you. It will always keep you safe.”

“How?”

“You’re questioning me? My, how sad... Do you not believe in me anymore?”

“I do, I do! I’m sorry..”

“Hm.” Ioda responded, a warm tinge to her voice. “That’s what I thought, dear.” She continued to work on her strange carpet ball. I saw her working on it a lot during the coming days. It looked pretty gross. It was like a cat hacked up a bloody hairball on the floor, but I trusted the angel’s intentions.

On the 6th night, I was awoken by a wretched symphony of screaming. Biscuit was barking and snarling, but not at my door for a change. I could hear my mother crying out, and another sound that was like clicking and whirring. I swiftly grabbed the baseball bat resting against my dresser and all but kicked down the door. I prayed there wasn’t some sort of home intruder, but that was exactly what it sounded like was happening.

She was being mauled by some sort of..alien?? It was yellow and insectoid. I would’ve called it tall, but the only thing tall about it was its legs. Its head and body were compacted onto each other. Its short fangs were trying to dig into Mom’s neck, but their length was making the process slow and agonizing. It was like being gummed to death by a puppy. It gripped her tightly in its barbed claws.

Biscuit lept forth, tightly clamping his jaws around the creature's leg. There was a sickening crunch, and then Biscuit began to shake his head back and forth. It was causing the creature's leg to come loose from its socket. 

“Ackhh–!! Sammy, you have to help me!” The insectoid alien cried out through a mouthful of my mom's flesh.

…Ioda?

“Ioda?? You’re attacking my mom!” I raised the bat above my head, ready to strike.

“I just needed more blood! I *need* more!! Sammy, help! Don’t let me die!”

My eyes darted frantically, between Ioda, Biscuit and Mom. Mom let out a strangled gasp, she clearly couldn't breathe well with claws and fangs at her neck. She looked at me with a frightened look in her eyes, and that was all it took for me to make my decision

“Noo!! You vile child!!" Ioda shrieked, "Damn you to Hell!!”

Her voice became garbled as I brought the bat down on her head. It felt like hitting drywall, and her head immediately caved in. Biscuit continued to growl and snarl and shake wildly, tearing her leg into bits. 

I hit and hit and hit Ioda till her screams faded. It was like hitting a husk. I helped my mom up from the floor as she gasped raggedly.

“Jesus.. What was that thing..” She muttered, rubbing her neck.

“I.. I don’t know..” I replied, feeling incredibly guilty for bringing Ioda into the house in the first place.

I never told Mom the truth about how I had brought that monster into our house. I feel slightly guilty, but how was anyone supposed to know that sort of thing would happen? I feel punished enough anyways. I’ve developed a deep phobia of bugs. That phobia is part of the reason I ended up moving to the city later on in life. My fear was starting to get debilitating.

If you’re worried about my mother, she’s completely fine now. Still hates bugs, but you’d never be able to guess she’d been attacked by an alien (?) at all. There’s barely even a mark left on her neck. Biscuit is fine too, he stopped growling at me after we killed that thing. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if I never woke up during that night, though… We buried Ioda in the woods, and never talked about it again.

I think the worst part about all this is, I ended up keeping her “gift”. I know this bizarre to learn, especially with my fear of bugs, but I was too afraid to destroy it. I was afraid if I did, more of those things would come running out. It’s in a Ziplock bag in my work desk. Obviously I wouldn’t keep that thing at my apartment. I figure it’s best I just keep an eye on it, rather than risk something worse happening by trying to destroy it.

It's been pulsing recently. I wonder what that means.

Alright that was like my maximum power i hope one of you enjoys this story

I have to go do my nine to five job, and by nine to five job i mean doing art fight c'ya

hello hello. today i wanted to write something about my girl ANYA mouthwashing, specifically on why i like her so much. no reason in particular besides i wanted to try my hand at some writing on my blog posts and that i really love anya

a little forewarning, this post will contain Heavy mouthwashing spoilers and topics like suicide and sexual assasult, so if you arent comfortable with either of those skip this post for your own sake.

i know i've had a couple of people come up to me and not really seem to get anya as a character. a lot of people see the way she is after the crash and say "cool, that's anya. a nervous people pleaser who cant really seem to get her job right." I wouldn't blame anyone for reaching this conclusion. as my friend wvdb once put it "because the story of that fucking game is told to us like scrambled eggs." a lot of my love for this game comes from how open the interpertation is for these characters.

the post-crash scenes are all centered around jimmy's perspective. while you aren't outwardly told how to feel about anya, you're playing as someone who hates her. (something i find very fascinating about jimmy is that he despises anya for her perceived weakness but still desires her as a female. just as a female, not a person. BUT THATS FOR A DIFFERENT POST.) since anya is terrified of jimmy, you only get to see anya in what is basically survival mode. she is in the most isolated situation a person could be in. trapped alone in space with the man who drugged and impregnated her. a man who's paranoid and prone to snapping when things dont go exactly the way he wants. a man who she is terrified enough of that she begs curly to at the very least HIDE the only gun on the ship from him so he doesnt hurt anyone with it.

anya is the singular woman on board of the tulpar. curly seems to be the only member anya was deeply comfortable with, which makes sense. as shown in the pysch evaluations with jimmy telling her he was "sexually attracted to cartoon horses", jimmy was already being uncomfortably sexual with her before anything physical happened. it would not be much of a leap to assume she had told him to stop such behavior before, especially with how defeated she is when she's talking to curly about giving him his pysch eval. she could never trust him because he never respected her.

swansea, similarly never respected her (but his rudeness to her seems to fade when he learns what jimmy did to her during their conversation in the cockpit). he calls her a so-called nurse and was mad at her for cutting her leg on the vent, so she probably did not feel like he was a safe person to talk to about anything before the crash happened. daisuke is not only new to the tulpar, but was the youngest member. anya and daisuke have a positive relationship, but its possible due to his age and new status anya did not want to burden him with any problems of hers.

so this brings us back to curly, the tulpar member anya seemed to trust the most. the curly scenes are where i believe anya's REAL personality comes out. the true anya.. she jokes with curly, can calmly communicate her feelings to him, even does a little teasing of swansea about him liking the cake to curly?? swansea is a grumpy guy, so she really must've felt safe with curly to do that. the real anya is a silly girl!! curly also like kinda flirts with her in the pysch eval i think. Dunno how serious he was about that!

THE DEAD PIXEL SCENE. boo did i get you? okay, but seriously, this is another scene that shows how comfortable anya was with curly and unfortnuately this is a scene where that trust is going to be fractured. it's a very intimate scene! anya and curly up late at night, talkin about nothing in particular. you can assume it happens often. anya wanted so badly for curly to see her, and to see the dead pixel. i dont think he quite picked up what the poor woman was trying to put down in that scene. the dead pixel is commonly interpreted as anya's baby (or like jimney in general), and when she tries to get curly to see it he tells her he "tends to see the bigger picture."

this scene perfectly illustrates curly and jimmy's relationship, and how it effects anya. jimmy's actions being the dead pixel that always haunt anya, and curly only seeing the "bigger picture" cannot see the way he is abusing anya. anya will suffer because curly just cannot fathom jimmy being a bad person, he cannot fathom jimmy doing something genuinely and maliciously bad. This is the failing that will not only lead to anya's death, but to the rest of the crew's as well.

if you pay attention post crash.. WELL ANYA IS LOWKEY GOATED? yes, she's scared and having a hard time doing her job.. or so it seems. the main problem with her is that she cant stand giving curly his meds.

yeah man i think we can give the traumatized pregnant woman a pass for having to throw up when shoving painkillers down the throat of her sobbing wet extra crispy screaming and crying friend who cannot speak and has no lips or limbs. Come on now

This is where you gotta get out your little magnifying glass and read between the lines because.. ANYA IS A FANTASTIC NURSE. "how do you know that?" BECAUSE CURLY SHOULD BE DEAD! it is incredibly impressive that she can keep this insanely damaged, critical condition man alive with the limited resourced on the tulpar. not to mention, she only asks jimmy to help with the medication twice. maybe she's done it more between what's show in game, but its not a duty she entirely shirks 

not only that.. anya seems more familiar with the tulpar than jimmy. which is like BAD?? because jimmy is supposed to be the code captain. she's the one who prompts him the get the codescanner. shes also the one who knows where the extra pills are stashed. she knows the ship! while gaining the codescanner didn't do anything good for the crew (to my memory), she did know what to do in curly's absence unlike jimmy. 

in addition to what i've said previously, i view anya as a deceptively strong person. shes trapped in space with her rapist, with an unwanted pregnancy and she pretty much knows shes going to die there. she has to take care of curly's mangled body when he didnt protect her at all from jimmy, and while she is under the assumption he crashed the tulpar. no one on board of the tulpar really understands her, or what she went through because of jimmy. yet, she still manages to hold out and take care of curly, and to never be the kind of monster jimmy is despite her trauma.

in game, when jimmy asks daisuke how the food supplies are, daisuke says about 4 months. anya's suicide happens somewhere after that timeframe elapses. it can be assumed anya decided to commit after they ran out of rations. her suicide wasnt just because she had all she could take, it was also her deciding to take a somewhat more merciful way out than starving to death with the others or possibly resorting to cannibalism.

so, i hope maybe my writing here can help some people see anya the way i see her. a smart, kind, lighthearted and strong woman who was trapped in one of the worst case scenarios a woman could be. anya mouthwashing is like, SO dear to my heart and i love the hidden depth her character has. i know my writing is probably a little disjointed, i have some attention issues haha sorry. but yeah hopefully one of you enjoys reading this! i wanna do some more writing stuff for my account. im thinking of next doing either something about jimmy and anya's relationship, benny and ellen's relationship from ihnmaims, or just generally tackling the topic of gender in ihnmaims

so baaaaiyyye

USER BEING SHOUTED OUT: @CasualBreather

AUTHOR OF SHOUT OUT: @Tychos-Huzband

☼🌣☼

/☼ How did you find this user's account? ☼

He messaged me asking if he could make his icon my little drawing of an alien.

☼ What made you follow this user? ☼

He is very nice to me and always asks permission to use my alien boy in things.

☼ What is your favorite thing that they have made? ☼

So far, his Follower Pokérap song!

☼ Is there something in particular you'd want to see from their content in the future? ☼

It would be cool to see him draw more, but it's his decision of course.

☼ Have you learned anything from them, or what they make? ☼

I'm not sure? But he's a good friend.

☼ Is there anything in particular that reminds you of this user? ☼

UFOs, little cartoon aliens, and for some reason, bagels?

☼ If you could frontpage a piece of work from them, which would it be? ☼

I don't remember the name at the moment, but I would want to frontpage the first song with my alien boy as the cover art, since it would be a show of my appreciation for his asking permission.

☼ Have they done any community work, be it collab related or on the BBS that you are fond of? ☼He inspired me to host a collab celebrating my NG account's 1 year anniversary!

☼ Do you have any great memories with them that you'd like to share? ☼

All my memories of him are great! He's really nice.

☼ How does their work inspire you? ☼

I like to draw things while listening to his songs, because they can influence my thoughts while I draw, which can yield interesting results.

☼ Have they ever helped you in any way on Newgrounds? ☼

He definitely helped me gain an audience! His usage of my alien drawing for his profile picture has spawned fanart of it, and he always credits me when he uses the original art in something!

☼ Have you ever collaborated with them before? ☼

Technically? He used my alien drawing as cover art for one of his songs a while ago!

☼ Anything you'd like to tell the person you're shouting out? ☼

You're really cool! Never let people bring you down!

🌣 SUMMER OF SHOUT-OUTS // DAY 18 🌣

USER BEING SHOUTED OUT: @AWildDomino

AUTHOR OF SHOUT OUT:  @Kiraichu

/☼ How did you find this user's account? ☼

I found him while scrolling through recent art submissions.

☼ What made you follow this user? ☼

His art style is so freaking cuteee!! How could you not like it?

☼ What is your favorite thing that they have made? ☼

☼ Is there something in particular you'd want to see from their content in the future? ☼

MORE AMBER I LOVE AMBER SO MUCH SHE’S SO ADORABLE PLEASEEEE!!

☼ Have you learned anything from them, or what they make? ☼

Honestly, his Amber’s Webshow series has helped me a ton, especially the self love one because I struggle a lot with that. I was venting to him about it one day and he brought it up while we were talking. Even though it was a coincidence, it was so perfectly timed. I needed it. Thank you… <3

☼ If you could frontpage a piece of work from them, which would it be? ☼

Although this was posted a few months back, I think she looks so cute in this. I love the ponytail she has ^^

☼ Have they done any community work, be it collab related or on the BBS that you are fond of? ☼

He’s made art trades with a few people, including someone else I’ve met through him which is TakiToons. All three of us also collabed together where I made the song and they made the cover art for it!!

☼ Do you have any great memories with them that you'd like to share? ☼

The collab mentioned earlier and also just talking to him. He’s been such a great friend.

☼ Have they ever helped you in any way on Newgrounds? ☼

He’s always been there for me whenever I feel down and I try to do the same for him. No need to say more! :3

☼ Have you ever collaborated with them before? ☼

The Swimming in Honey collab, which brought about one of my favorite songs I’ve ever produced!!

☼ Anything you'd like to tell the person you're shouting out? ☼

I love you so so much. You’re one of the best people I’ve met on the site and I’m so glad I met you. Keep being you, because I love you for you. <3
