I know I am...nearly completely inactive here but I still feel the urge to make an update journal every once in a millennia. X'D
FIRST OFF, HEY NEW WATCHERS: I am almost completely inactive here so if you don't see or hear from me...that's why. X'DDD
Continuing from that...
Things are good. I'm learning more and more about myself these days after starting therapy and realizing just how deep my memory, attention, and various other issues run, how that manifests in my interactions, creative processes, struggles & failures, and all that hullabaloo. XD Getting more familiar with my needs and how to structure my life to better suit how I function is the current hurdle I must leap, HOOUGH.
It's been my interpretation that activity on dA has been steadily on a downward path for years, but I could be wrong! deviantART was my first real online space for my art so I have a hard time considering abandoning ship wholeheartedly (i.e. not doing these once-in-a-blue-moon updates and just straight up never returning x'D).
And on that note, I've kind of been debating on maybe rebranding here? I've tried moving to RadioactiveSoda but you'll notice I've been equally inactive there. X'D I think most folk know me here regardless of how much I try to point in that direction, and I'm just more used to interacting here.
If I do rebrand, I definitely want to move past the CuddlesAndHuggles handle because it just doesn't jive with me anymore. (Those of you who have always known me as "Cuddles" can still call me that XD though I'd probably prefer the variant of "Cudz" if it's not too much trouble!) Of course...this means I need to come up with a NEW handle...GAH!!
Well that's about all for now--I really really really REALLY badly want to share my passion project I've been developing slowly over the past few years, but I'm still needing to protect it's IP so I can't. qwq
So, until next time, hope y'all are doing well!

At this rate I really want to just let y'all know that I truly don't think I'll ever make a full return to IZ or OJ, or any of the fandoms I've been in on dA really. QwQ I want to stop getting hopes up like I have such a bad history of doing. =w= I have that bad habit of wanting to make everyone happy/please everyone, making promises before I realize whether I can or can't deliver, couple that with memory & attention issues (that seem to be getting worse lately which is a little scary =^=; ) and you've got yourself a recipe for disaster I've made countless times. I've only just recently started coming to terms with the concept that, realistically, I alone cannot keep any one person perfectly happy. TwT9
BUT, doesn't mean you'll never hear from me again. Every couple of months I check back here to check and clear out my messages, so just be aware you won't never hear from me...but it might be a few months before you do. qwq9 I also don't think I'll really be posting art on dA much anymore? If I do, it'll likely be over on
so give me a follow there if you'd like to keep up-to-date with other art stuff! Just, man, keeping up with posting and presence on multiple social medias is A DRAG, IT'S LIKE A FULL TIME JOB. 6A9As far as "What are you doing these days Cuds?!" well...
I've launched my Patreon, and I've been illustrating a Guild Wars 2 fan-comic! I started it in May 2019 and I've actually got it from bi-weekly to weekly updates!!
-To read it you can either become a Patron for $1 for the latest updates, OR, you can find the archive of public pages RIGHT HERE! :>
-I have been debating on whether or not to start posting the pages on deviantART, but if I do it'll be on
since that's the username associated with my GW2 work! I'm also working on an original passion project on the side, it's still in development, but I'll definitely make an announcement about it here on CuddlesAndHuggles if and when I get it off the ground. XD
I hope all y'all are doing well these days ^-^ and I'm sorry I can't be more active here or in IZ/OJ. qwq Adulting is...still hard...I'd hoped it would get easier with time but...no. XD I've learned how to manage my stress a little better though! And I'm in better mental health than I used to be, so those are good things! But...it's still just always SO MUCH, all the time, that I'm still learning how to manage. =w= BUT I DIGRESS...
Thank you all so much for the support you've given me over the years <3 IZ, OJ, y'all's company and support, it's all gotten me through some hard times, and idk if I'll ever be able to make it up to all of you but...truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. <3
