I'm back! I've actually gotten to an okay place at work (though obviously still no new job...) and I've finally managed to get back into making sprites/generally being able to do anything enjoyable/functioning. I'm not at the frankly breakneck speed of sprite creation I was at before, but I did manage to get some done and have motivation to actually make more.
I've also been fully sucked into Transformers stuff, so it's been nice to have a new thing to get into and enjoy. I've really liked the G1 stuff, Transformers One and Transformers: Prime. You can tell I've surrendered to it because I even bought and built a model kit of Shockwave (his Transformers One version, this one in fact. He's such a monster, but his design is so cool) and it's displayed on my shelf with my other figurines. (I have the first three Cures of Hugtto Pretty Cure and Hana Nono in her civvies, Longshot from X-Men, Jolyne and Jonathan from JoJo, and bootleg Lego minifigs of Usagi from Sailor Moon, Sadako from Ring, and the Forgers from Spy × Family).
As for other Transformers stuff, I tried getting into the IDW stuff but I just bounced off it, hard. I find it way too grim and depressing. I started with the Infiltration arc and actually enjoyed it fine, but basically after the Devastation miniseries it gets way too complicated and grim for my tastes. I also don't really like the later More Than Meets the Eye comics, either, both in terms of plot/story and the art style, which I find really off-putting (maybe because everyone's too expressive? I don't really know why but I just don't like it). The Skybound comic is tentatively pretty good (though also fucking depressing), though I'm only on issue #13 and my usual comic site is currently down so I haven't been able to catch up. Once I finish my (haphazard) tour of the G1 cartoon, I'm either going to watch Headmasters or the 2001 Robots in Disguise.
But yeah, things are actually at least a teeny bit better for me now, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeesh. Long time no see, y'all. I haven't done a ton for this site in the past month and a half. Things at work have slightly improved, though the past week I've been having extra 'tism issues/burnout, enough that I haven't been able to focus on anything very well. I'm hoping that a long weekend of carefully curated sensory input will help me get back to a bit more equilibrium. (_ _)。゜zｚＺ
Thanks as always for your support, anyone and everyone who actually wants to read my random and rambling thoughts when I put them up here. Happy Pride and an early Juneteenth!

I am so damn tired rn, lol. I made the mistake of volunteering to pick up my brother from the airport at 12:15 am so now I have to drive ~80 minutes round trip to get him and bring him back to our parents' house. I've also had no luck whatsoever with job searching so that's great (┬┬﹏┬┬). Otherwise I haven't had much energy to do much of anything. I might just end up calling out or leaving early tomorrow from work. I don't mind burning sick leave because it doesn't get paid out when you leave, so in the (increasingly hypothetical) future when I get a new job my PTO check will be ever so larger.
On a more positive note, I did at least add some sprites for National Superhero Day (Captain America and Captain Marvel (the DC one)) so there's that, I guess. I've also been really enjoying this easy prep cacio e pepe pasta from Smith's, so that's another plus. I also started on Robbie Reyes' Ghost Rider series which is really fun so far. Alright, peace out ✌.

It's been a while, whoops. I've... been. I'm super burnt out with my current job but have had no luck with any of the other places I've applied. Everything costs too much and we're doing war with Iran 2: War Harder, I guess. 🙃 I haven't done a ton otherwise. I've been too miserable and tired from work every day to do much. I hate it but I don't have enough social battery to do anything else than go to work, despair, come home, despair, and sleep. The state of the world doesn't really motivate much else, either.
I did at least make a few new sprites that I'll put up after I finish this entry. Of course, Angelfire and Tripod also reached their End of Service (at least for free sites) just this month, so any other sites that may have had sprites are gone now, and couldn't even really be saved with Angelfire having constant issues in the last year or so making it really difficult to make sure stuff gets saved in the Wayback Machine. Anyone else out here loving the endless capitalism machine of enshittification?
Overall, I am tired. Whatever. Keep fighting the good fight, y'all.

Gonna go to bed soon, but I did want to actually write something in here, seeing as it's been over two weeks since I last did. I split my book and comic sprites page up because I have a ton of Marvel sprites (and that number will increase, mind you, I still have a ton of sprites I mean to make). Otherwise, there hasn't been a ton going on.
I'll try to remember to update my fic pages tomorrow/this morning (°ー°〃). It's snowed a ton here this past week and so I've been out of work on snow days and I still haven't gotten much done. At least I'm finally working my way through the stack of dishes that's been in my sink for... a while now.
...Let's not say how long.
...IN MY DEFENSE, I have a hard time with stuff like this because my executive dysfunction will kick in and I get overwhelmed. Literally the only way I've been managing it is I work on them while I listen to a podcast, then when my drying rack is full I take a break to do some NYT crosswords for half an hour, turn everything to make sure it gets all dry properly, and take another break for more crosswords before I put everything away and start the next batch. It's not efficient, but otherwise I stress out over trying to manage the whole process and nothing gets done.
Anyway, I need to get to sleep, so I'll just call it here.

Woo. o(*￣▽￣*)ブ Finally got the sprite page split up (and added a few new sprites), and got a few of the bigger pages' HTML updated to be more accessible. There's still a few left, but it's better than it was before. I also am considering changing the title of my site... The whole 'Bringing Back Asexy' thing started as a joke literally over a decade ago on my tumblr, then I stubbornly held on to it during the height of the Ace Disk Horse (derogatory) era out of spite. But now it's sort of old and doesn't really make much sense, especially on an entirely separate site. Anyone have any suggestions? I do have a few, so don't be super surprised if it changes in the near-ish future.
Anyway, now I'm going to take a nap. (*￣3￣)╭

Added a bunch more sprites. I'm probably going to have to split my sprites page into subpages because even now there's literally over a thousand on that page and it's a lot to load at once. Other than that, things are just great right now :)))))))))). Really digging living through historical events.
But yeah, I am still taking sprite requests for a nice little distraction from my rage and depression. Stay safe out there.

I got the Billboard Top 10 song quiz updated and split my pixel page so that sprites are on a separate page now!
On a completely unrelated note, I wish wish wish I had more writing skills because I want to write a fic with 004 and Murderbot (from Cyborg 009 and Murderbot Diaries respectively). There's so much there that could be so interesting- particularly comparing Albert and Murderbot's desire to not be a weapon/equipment and contrasting their views on being human (vs. personhood), where 004 wants to be human but feels that he can't call himself human because of his complete cyborg rebuild, whereas Murderbot has no interest in being human (and difficulty and trauma in regards to being seen as a person at all). Even just some fanart would be great, but, alas, I am devoid of that talent at the moment as well. Maybe at some point I'll at least write a meta and put it on my crossover shit page.
Anyway, please wish me luck in my ongoing job search! I have come to realize that there is no option to stay in my current job. I am completely burnt out. Change is very difficult for me but I'm at a point where I'm willing to risk it (though also there's a great deal of change with my current job at the moment too that's also not helping the burn out).
Also, I usually don't bring up politics directly on this site often because it's a little escape for me from the current situation, but I do want to make it clear that anyone who supports ICE, Trump, or Republicans in general is not welcome here. Fuck off. RIP to Renee Good and the countless immigrants who have died in ICE's concentration camps and CECOT.

“I'm going to get this site updated over the weekend,” xe said, naively. Oof, nope. I'll try and work on it for real this coming weekend I guess. Otherwise, I also need to update my Billboard Top 10 song quiz and I'm probably going to split my pixels page to have sprites on a separate page to reduce the load time. I'm super tired rn tho because my job sucks and everything costs too much. 🙃 I guess I did at least get quite a few sprites made, so that's nice, I guess?

Oops. I have been working on Marvel chara sprites, but I also keep getting sidetracked with JoJo ones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well. It's my site anyways. I do have a list of characters to work on, but if you think I'm missing a particularly obvious one, email me!
On a completely different topic, I do have a tiny list of Christmas music that doesn't immediately make me want to scream.
Grissom's Begrudging Christmas Playlist
That's about it. Just about anything else makes me want to throw the speaker/CD/whatever across the room.
