updating this website is now something i do when i need a break from the other project i'm working on, i guess :'] i added some new adoptions to the oldschool category, this time by two of my friends, lani & ann. they're both incredibly talented pixel artists, and were very prolific, so i've been putting off choosing what to add from them.

omg...i found 2 whole more missing adoptables today. i am a world-class internet archaeologist. i am unstoppable. anyway, check out the adopt page to see them.

i also decided to do a little cleanup on some of tina's old adoptables. i ummed and ahed over this for quite awhile, but ultimately decided that cleaning up some of the pixel artifacts & doubles wasn't disrupting the integrity of the originals. i just get weird about that kind of thing!! i did leave some things that felt like intentional stylistic choices, even if i didn't totally agree with them. shocking news: girl who overthinks everything is overthinking another thing. more at 10!

i found some old adoptions in the vast expanse of the internet archive. do you know what that feels like? it feels like winning the fucking lottery. anyway, they've been added to the adopt page. i also added a little 'up' icon, to indicate what's been 'up'dated. i decided not to go with 'new', because that felt a bit disingenuous lol

i've been mostly working on another project, but tonight i decided to add a bunch of adoptions to my toybox pages. mostly there are additions to the sozai section, but also some studio ghibli sprites & a bunch of new dachshund icons i found :>

recently, i've done a bunch of reading & watched a lot of videos on ~pixel art~ techniques & methodology, and started reworking some of my older pixels with some of these ideas in mind. today i redid my personal favorite pixel, my heart calculator. i bought it in a little shop i used to work at in college after falling in love with it, and it's sat prettily on various shelves in every apartment i've lived in since.

i added a virtual pets section to my toybox~ it's pretty small right now. if i'm less lazy another day, maaaaybe i'll add my neopets there
