I'm so excited to celebrate my first-ever follower milestone on Newgrounds! 50 of you guys got to know me and liked me enough that you wanted to get updates about what all I've been up to!

It may not sound like much in the big scheme of social media, but 50 people means 50 unique lives, personalities, and creative drives that all exist simultaneously. If all 51 of us, including me, were in a room together, talking to each other, that would be a lot of conversations going on - and I'd have to buzz around like a bee between the different groups to keep track of it all! 50 people also means my attempts to put myself out there and build confidence have been paying off, and many more supporters than I would have if I'd stayed in the shadows and let social anxiety restrict me to just posting art and hoping for the best. It's 50 people I can count on to support me when I'm feeling lonely and isolated, and living proof that my sometimes awkward navigation of the Newgrounds forums has not defined who I am on this site. I'm grateful to everyone who's shown their appreciation - it truly does mean a lot!

I wish I could celebrate in a bigger way, but unfortunately I'm sandwiched between a lot of art that I need to finish and a lot of real-life things I need to be working on. So instead, I'll do what I've always been good at - getting my friends introduced to my other friends. Go down into the comments and get to know my other followers! Let's talk amongst ourselves and connect - who knows, maybe it could be the beginning of some lasting friendships between you!

In the near future, you can also expect a little more engagement from me - art challenges, events, and other stuff my brain cooks up in its spare time - so keep an eye out in your feed and the forums!

Thanks again, everyone, and have fun!
