Uhhh...I can explain... Yeah it's not what it looks like... I maybe kinda bought this on impulse after doing plenty of research and setting out a good financial plan. Budget! I wanted to have a modern console and it's my only one. I wanted to streamline my setup, so just a PC&Switch. Less is more!

It's an old piece, but it captures this rather sentimental day. I miss you dearly; I wish you were here to see me grow, overcome hardships, and more. The tragedy of not being able to witness that, but I believe you can see me, somewhere, somehow. Please rest peacefully, and remember I love you.

Don’t let me regret this. I am gonna try to get into this having all those years on Smash. My goal is to become a decent player, enough to be considered as knowing what I’m doing and confident in myself. It will be annoying, discouraging, etc. But I believe that goal can be reached. I can do this.

Art was done by @coughingfish.bsky.social and of course I needed something to show my love for WaWa. Recently I moved and finally closed out a senseless chapter in my life and one of the last things I did was get some WaWa. You know I love my humble hoagie.🩵 Gotta hava WaWa as they say!

And like months ago, I said I’d still share pics and arts. But I really am enjoying the rabbit, and I need to do better at transitioning more into that identity. I will always love Balto. It’s still me in there, just from a different time. Things were so simple then, haha. But that’s enough for now.

Fastest way to my heart. One of them at least! Took this a couple weeks ago so late post!

COME ON. COME ON. Come on!

Happy Easter/Passover to anyone who observes. I present to you an egg, a cute YCH to couple with and contrast with all the dynamic or game art I’ve been getting recently. I hope you all got some enjoyment or something good out of today. Be well. Now that I think about it, I do miss egg hunts.

Last week/week and a half ago or so, I impulsively started playing FF14 again and I really became obsessed with it. Played it more than I ever did before in my on/off relationship the game and was trying new things and learning so much. Here’s art to celebrate those good nights. To bard, with love.

Mine as of a couple weeks ago. Haven’t been playing much but I’m always willing to help.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Yeah, keep them coming. I hadn’t seen the trailer prior to this, so what a pleasant surprise. I appreciate the diversity in wolf skins, though I wish I’d gotten Dire who truly started all of this.

000

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

And yes, I am so hooked I had a model retextured for Balto. My foot is in the door, and it’s my identity. I want to just scream in excitement like, “MY GRUFF BABY BOY” or something. Really, I didn’t see any of this coming a week ago yet here we are. The door is open for all things now. Again, thanks

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

It’s just been an incredible journey over a week. I wish I was told about this game sooner. There are good people on there, people I hope to deeply befriend. I will keep working towards that, and now I only seek to give back to the community as your loyal, kind, and defending wolf to the very end.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

And it just got better and better that day. I’d go on to even encounter the creator herself in a late night lobby. Solstice, and so on. I really can’t get enough of this wonderful, buggy, masterpiece. It brings people together, and I feel as if I can showcase some of myself. Loud, silly, very kind.

100

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

It truly has been so much fun. Just capturing my journey and all. And i haven’t had something exciting in quite some time. I hunger for the social aspect. You never know, I could very well meet the person of my life and make good friends along the way. All I seek are people to make connections with.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

You can’t make this up. Perspective is everything. From encountering Arkus three times within two days of playing (not game time) and having the whole lobby help me and even give critical advice to survive to silly shenanigans and laughs to getting a glitched Robland in the same day…it’s been wild.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

From loading into the lobby with many players being veterans who spread advice and are kind to exploring the wiki to the importance of Save Manager, to the conversations that just ensue because I just feel like it’s easy to socialize here. This may be the game and entry point I’ve always needed.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

And I have always been a person who felt like I struggled to fit in regardless, outside and inside the fandom. I’m not what people really want, but this game and community is something I grown to adore within the week I’ve been playing. I feel like I’ve truly been on an adventure and it’s just begun

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

From the moment I was exposed, and was made aware of the community and progression system that has a long-term grind, the gameplay loop and so on, I fell in love with it. Burning my nights away and all I want to do is find and make good friends to play it with. This seriously can be my gateway to it

100

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Alright, I can’t contain it anymore. But I absolutely love this game. I was actually exposed to ToN a year and a half ago or so. But only a fe games. Well recently with me getting back into VR a week ago primarily because of this game, I can say I’ve become addicted. And I’m just a desktop user!

A couple of Night In The Woods icons done by @spaceyshiba.bsky.social Get them while they’re hot. I actually have never played the game, but am aware of its popularity and such. I’ve seen people take creative inspiration from them, so it has significant influence. A wonderful job Shiba; thanks.✍️🖼️

Gift art done by @spaceyshiba.bsky.social featuring Balto and a handful of Shiba’s friends on a Christmas tree as ornaments essentially. Just wanted to post this as thanks for including and letting me be part of something bigger. I appreciate the gift and thanks for allowing me to be a part of this.

Got a capture card recently and took the cheap entry in as I wanted to not invest unreasonably in a possible new hobby in case I don’t stick with it. I’m going in with no experience and just some decent enough research. But overall it’s something I’ve been long overdue for. Here’s to some new fun.

100

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas /Happy Holidays. I know some don’t observe it and it’s not as magical of enjoyable as it once was for me years ago, but I hope everyone found something to smile about or some good in today. Stay safe as usual and be well. You just keep smiling, Balto

Some art done recently to commemorate or rather show my fondness for zombies as that was a memorable part of my childhood. I first played in WaW and I had a good time despite not having much experience with it. Simpler times. I miss them- nevertheless, here’s to a timeless classic, iconic item.

Got this on impulse the other day just for the laughs and nostalgia. This takes me back years and years.

I don't get it,but there's something warming and a sense of home when I get groceries in big paper bags as opposed to the standard plastic. I just like it, oddly enough. Ultimately, it's a preference thing, but it was a nice surprise from the driver a couple days ago.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Alright, y'all. Touched up myself a little lightly as well as implementing a new FA too. Welcome in Akela, a modest and general representation of me. Borrowing and reimagining ideas and such I had for a scrapped sona, and so on. Anyhow, here's to a wondrous, honest, and heartfelt experience.

Icon done recently by @spaceyshiba.bsky.social Wanted to try a hairstyle out om Balto I've always gushed at and took a liking to. He certainly looks good, and it might couple with his demeanor. A few more icons om the way, but this a nice addition overall.

Akela @akelaeverflow.bsky.social · 20/06/2024

Yeah, it's time. I'm not as excited as some others are, bouncing around their rooms and such. But I'm frankly just happy to be here to witness this. Been months in the making, and I am most excited for flashy weapons and bosses more than anything. Stay well out there, and don't spoil for others.

Some food from a pleasant trip to Buffalo Wild Wikgs. I usually don't eat hot foods, but it was nice to have every once in a while.
