Back when I was into MLP a bit more (I was a "social" fan), I made these really bad meme-y "4 koma"-style comics.

I'm almost certain I had more of them but these are the ones I was able to find. Yes they are bad, yes they are cringe, no I will not apologize. Suffer. With me. Enjoy my "artwork" lol.
A crudely drawn 4-panel comic featuring the characters Derpy Hooves and Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. In the first panel is a full-body image of Derpy. She says "HEY APOLJUK". Next panel is a full-body image of Applejack. She responds "wut do u want darpy" The third panel is a close-up of Derpy's face, which says "U DID NO-NOS WITH BIG PACINTOOSH" The fourth panel cuts to a front-facing shot of Applejack who responds "yea" A crudely drawn 3-panel comic featuring the characters Fluttershy and Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Panel one is a full-body image of Applejack. She says "hey tree u lookin at me funny" The following panel is an image of a tree with Fluttershy's face on it, which says "..." The final panel cuts to Applejack bucking her hind legs at the tree, Fluttershy's face now looking KO'd, and reads "buck u" A crudely drawn 4-panel comic featuring the character Apple Bloom from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There is also an original character, "Scoundrel Beats" featured in this comic. In the first panel is a headshot of Scoundrel. He says "hay applebum". Next panel is a profile of Apple Bloom. She responds "wut" The third panel is a close-up of Beats' face, which says "where is ur cuty marq" The fourth panel cuts to a closeup shot of Apple Bloom who responds "i dropped it"

We didn't stream a lot this year.
And this is probably just how things are now.

But I am grateful for the time we spent together at my live shows and I'm looking forward to the next soon.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Someone needs to tell me what part of my fucking order says Double Cheeseburger here because I'm fucking livid right now. I spent the last of my extra money for the week on this shitty food and they gave me something I cannot eat because this kind of cheese makes me sick. There's no recourse either.
A disgusting, nasty McDonald's double cheeseburger. A McDonald's order of Double Hamburger, 10 pc. Nuggets, and Large Fries.

I love you.
A graphic from "To Write Love On Her Arms" which reads the following: "If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you here. If you feel too much, don’t go. If this world is too painful, stop and rest. It’s okay to stop and rest. If you need a break, it’s okay to say you need a break. This life – it’s not a contest, not a race, not a performance, not a thing that you win. It’s okay to slow down. You are here for more than grades, more than a job, more than a promotion, more than keeping up, more than getting by. This life is not about status or opinion or appearance. You don’t have to fake it. You do not have to fake it. Other people feel this way too. If your heart is broken, it’s okay to say your heart is broken. If you feel stuck, it’s okay to say you feel stuck. If you can’t let go, it’s okay to say you can’t let go. You are not alone in these places. Other people feel how you feel. You are more than just your pain. You are more than wounds, more than drugs, more than death and silence. There is still some time to be surprised. There is still some time to ask for help. There is still some time to start again. There is still some time for love to find you. It’s not too late. You’re not alone. It’s okay – whatever you need and however long it takes – it’s okay. It’s okay. If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you here. If you feel too much, don’t go. There is still some time. – Jaime Tworkowski"

Fresh off an eventful and exciting holiday weekend. I got to spend a lot of time with my girlfriend this weekend and I'm really happy 😊

Picked up some drum stuff yesterday at a music store liquidation (as-is) sale. So I have a new snare and a pair of hi-hats now. Waiting on the clutch from Amazon, and a double bass pedal 👀

Had a second date and it was a lot of fun and nice bonding experience. I'm really happy and hopeful for the future. I like her a lot.

We went to Lansing, MI's "Silver Bells in the City" event and got the see the parade, the tree lighting, the drone show, and a fireworks show at the Capitol. So fun!
The Michigan Capitol building in Lansing, MI. There is a crowd of people standing, facing the building in front of which stands a newly lit Christmas Tree.

Favorite obscure Naruto character:

And here's one more background character I simply like the design of, she's an academy student from Part 1 named Hibari.

She appears during Iruka's lecture on the Hokage role (Ch. 94)
I'm not a fan of her anime counterpart since it changed too much of the design.
Hibari, a young academy student from Konohamaru's class, hugs her knees in a sitting position and asks Iruka who is the Fifth Hokage. Hibari, a young academy student from Konohamaru's class, hugs her knees in a sitting position.

Favorite obscure Naruto character:
I'm fond of some of the hot spring girls because Kishimoto decided to go ham with them. Need I really say more?

This is Kohada. She works with her family at a local sushi restaurant in Konohagakure.

No lines or significance whatsoever. Just a hot hot spring girl.
Kohada from Naruto as drawn by Masashi Kishimoto in the Naruto manga. Kohada (manga) colored. A naked woman with brown hair pinned up sits on the stoned edge of a hot spring. Steam conveniently censors her chest.

Nothing's more empowering than when you feel comfortable enough to stop caring what the people who hate you say or think about you.

The real ones are on your side and have your back. They make you stronger. Don't let negative people run you into the ground. Use them as a stairway to the best you.

Weekend project:
I bought a three wired Xbox 360 controllers for under $10 (sold as untested/for parts) and did a bit of restoration work on them.

All three did function out of the box. One is still in pieces because I plan to use it for a future project but the other two are now restored (mid & R)

People think Labubu is bad but completely forget the Troll/Trollz dolls of the past, which are tremendously uglier and less appealing.
Labubu The Monsters Exciting Macaron series from 2023. This photo features two of the toys at a table with a sweet desert in front of them and a fork in hand. A "wizard" troll doll, manufactured by Russ Berrie in the 1990s. It's wearing a starry blue robe and moon and star hat.
