You know, instead of saying "I just do stuff," I'm gonna start a new trend where someone just puts "Zappada" in their about.
ZAPPADA!

Birthday Blues

Posted by MagentaNova - March 5th, 2024


Lemme just start by saying; this year's been a roller coaster. As someone who doesn't like roller coasters, it's been terrifying. It's been stressful, my stomach's been churning (no, literally.) It has not been fun. It's only the beginning of March and it's already been one of the most complicated years of my life. And to top it all off, today, the 5th of March, is my birthday. It doesn't quite feel like it yet, but this birthday signals the end of an era for me. It was just a few years ago that Covid hit around this time and caused a turn for the worse. However, thanks to new friends and this whole Newgrounds thing, I've been able to bounce back from it, if only a little bit. Thanks for supporting me.


Anyway, now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about something I wanna call "Creation Week." This is something that I want to start from my birthday on the 5th to the 12th, the anniversary of Obscurity/Ultraius. Every day, I plan on releasing something related to my projects, whether that be chapters of stuff, cool art, or announcements on new projects I'm working on. I'm hoping to stick to the script for once, but knowing me it might change. Just expect something new every day this week.


For example, Ultralius Chapter 10! I know it's crazy, but it should be out sometime today or tomorrow. You can find the chapter here or through my links. It's been a long long time coming, but it's finally here. I'll say this, I think I did alright on this chapter. It's themed more towards the Christmas season, but it's out here, ties shit up and I can finally be done. I hope you can enjoy it.


Like I said, I have a few things planned, so be on the lookout here to see what's up. I'll be sure to announce stuff that releases, but feel free to check back in for art and concept stuff. And to finish up, I would like to welcome @TheCakeMage for joining. Hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm excited to see what you make with this creation week, thanks as well for the shout out!

Hope it's okay to get a little deep here ...
It was this time last year that I was the most prone to the darkness of my own mind, and I almost made some terrible choices to try and stop the hurt I felt. I was so fortunate to have found in my art an outlet that really unclogged my soul and left me in a slowly better place. I am excited to be here on NG now, and that I've only met kindness since I started to come out of my shell and started posting. I hope you have a happy birthday, and that you find something more than you could have expected or hoped for in the search. I hope more than anything you can find love in community, as the light of the mind alone cannot burn away all darkness.

Happy to read that! Hope you like.

Also, I get that. The Newgrounds community has been pleasant, and I've made a few friends along the way. The first day I got here, I met someone very sweet and helpful, making this feel like home and serving as an inspiration for my work/style/motivation. It's been nice meeting people on this site and I hope you feel as welcome as I did a few years ago.
