Wow! Uh— Geez guys. It was just a few months back I was doing my 5K follower thanks, and in my waiting to do this I bumped from 7 to 7.1k even; yowza.
Okay, wow. First off— welcome to the new year 2027 Will be my year for sure hope your New Year went great, and you had wonderful times with family and friends! It even just some much needed self reflection.
Second— thanks so much for the support and growth; these last few months have been unprecedented in growth. Not just numbers and followers— while those are nice what I really enjoy is how much more engagement the content I post has gotten across all platforms, in so many ways! In comments, people reaching out in messages and on Discord, making fanart and generations (keep those Gremmys coming Demian, UnstableGen) seriously makes me smile so much to see interactions between the community at any scale and so touched I feel a big tingle of glee riiight in my stomach when I see that stuff; you're all awesome and I love getting pings whenever another allusion to my stuff is posted. You can always mention me on images here, or ping me in the Cult of Gremmy discord if you post something like that— I love seeing it!
And Third— I'm nearing my first year on here coming in a few weeks, and it feels like I've always been here. I've met so many people I will treasure forever, from small interactions to now close friends, and with my primarily going to be focused on AION DeSYNCH the rest of the month I'm going to take this as the time to thank you for making this year so so special— it's been a very long time since I've felt this creatively satisfied and motivated, perhaps beyond a decade at this stage. I hope to turn this into something more, and treat it as such already because of how genuinely happy I am for the first time in so long, and that's all because of your support and your constant and awesome vibes and the community built on this platform.
And on a different note—
To the staff of Civit— you're all awesome as well. Even if there's things I don't always agree on, and I worry about priorities at times; you're all wonderful people who have always been really cool to me and engaged with the community— I strongly support your stated and, from what I've seen from you acted on vision for this platform and I hope you know there are others like me in the sea of outrage.
With that stuff out of the way, what's in the work for the new year?!
Oh so much.
DeSYNCH and NEXUS-09 Reboot? It's only the rather bombastic start.
I'm in the works to release a prologue for The Lands Beyond in book format, alongside just more TLB stories (finishing off the Dragon God's Awakening saga and finally starting in on Arc 2)
I'm having fun with more comedy pieces, and I hope to start diving into more collaborative pieces as well exploring different mediums and outlets to bring my and other artists works into view!
All in all thank you so much for this year, and here's to many more. Much love <3
