well, had i known newgrounds' would be 30 TODAY i would've drawn something for sure. but a blog post will have to suffice, i suppose lol (a first timer for me, as well :o )
while i never had the chance to use the site up til' early 2021 when i finally made an account on here, i still do have lots of nostalgia for some of the animations/games on here that i saw on youtube when i was but a wee lad :] most of those things were salad fingers, eddsworld, some older hotdiggitydemon animations, the awesome series, and seeing pico's school + madness combat characters here-and-there but having no idea what they were from lol (there's a few other examples, but i'd be here all day writing them down)
while i still didn't have too much experience with this place for a good majority of my life so far, the impact that some of the creativity this site has affected my own art cannot be understated! im very grateful for the existence of this place and what it's provided for my partners and i as creatives :>
not sure how i wanna end this? other than to say, i know the current state of the internet really sucks for artists right now (myself included) but we gotta stick together and keep drawing to SPITE the ai-bros... o7 stay swaggy out there, y'all

Wooooo!
