So I basically put off writing stuff for months. I dunno, just kinda burnt myself out I think - I got so many things I wanted to do and I still wanna do em! While I've got the interest, I wanna see how much of it I can clear out within November. Here's what I hope to accomplish in some form of order.
First off, when it comes to Ex-Aid, the Drift focus is a thing I need to continue/finish. That could happen at any point.
Gaim return! It's a good time to do it since Gaim is in the news again thanks to Heisei Generations FINAL. This was a story I wanted to tell for a while and I wanna wait until I post it publicly before anything is said about its contents.
The Gaim story will be the third in what has accidentally become the setup for a crossover: Drive Saga ended with Terra and Accel aiming to track down Foundation X, Ghost Reborn ended with Anyu (and implied, Shingan) wanting to find them, and a pair from this Gaim 2017 story will go that route as well. I got a couple fun things planned for that that I think are fun.
To get back to Ex-Aid, I decided I would keep this thing going of having different sets of stories. The first was Kamen Rider Strat Mini which, as it now stands, was establishing the character of Strat. Kamen Rider Drift [Bootleg] will be giving his origins... and after a little "movie style" story, the events of Kamen Rider Chronicle will be its own set of stories in the same format as Strat Mini. That will feature more installments, I think, because that's a chunk of the show right there. I do intend for there to be an ending told, needless to say.
At this point, Build has entered the fray. I decided I'd just do a quick one-off thing to introduce my Rider, which I'm tentatively calling "Build: Episode Zero" because it takes place before episode 1. It'll be simple but plant a seed for future stories... pun maybe intended?
And finally, Styler. There's a second story arc I gotta get to work on, but first a little fun. I intentionally left OOO Canvas as part of his arsenal, for now, because there'll be a thing similar to the Ghost Legend Rider series - with W Canvas and Build Canvas! So look forward to that.
I also hope this is the last fanfic status quo post I make this year cause I wanna get shit done this time. Let's hope for the best.

Where I'm at on content
It's been a bit. Again. To those who've been watching me still, I'm grateful. To those who've commissioned me, and seen me go through many art ruts for a long while as life keeps me down, I'm even more grateful. I'm always thinking about what I should be doing. I keep commission info saved and progress on it documented, so no one is being forgotten. I've not been fully focused on Rider stuff for a while, not out of disinterest but because my ADHD takes me all over the place these days. When I'm not busy with real life stuff I'm kicking around here and there. Still on Twitter for now, but we'll see how that goes. When it comes to current Rider news, I think it's fair to congratulate my friend Tom Constantine, who plays John in the show, as he and the actor playing Ben have now been seen wearing Desire Drivers! Tom spent several years playing nameless civilians in group shots, but within the last few years had become a stuntman for Power Rangers Dino Fury, then made his way back to
Life update
Just dusting off this site a bit... I hadn't intended for such an absence here, it just kinda ended up that way. Back in December I got sick for a while - not Covid as far as I can tell, just a bad cold - and it left me pretty useless for a good couple of weeks, up until after Christmas. Once I got out of it, I dunno. Feels like I've just been perpetually in a rut for most things. When I've got free time I've usually found myself tinkering in the world of 3D printing, because some artistic outlets come to you easier at different times. But right now even that isn't really happening because my printer is currently in a state where I'm probably gonna have to set it aside and get a new one. Anyway, I haven't really forgotten all that I do here. My mind has shifted to one interest to another that isn't toku related but I can't truthfully say that Rider isn't something I wanna create content for again. Sprites, fanfiction, all that. I just need to be in the right headspace for it. It
Last status update of 2021
Definitely been a bit since I had a serious talk about where I'm at right now, and we're close enough to the end of the year it's time to check in. Right now I'm dealing with a persistent non-Covid flu that's got me down, but I wanna upload some things I've neglected to post here. As you know if you've seen previous posts earlier this January, my mother passed away very suddenly. That alone is understandably a thing that'll change a person's life, but I have never been transparent enough about my personal life to really put into context how much this impacted me. I always imagine it comes across as unusually long mourning. I'm not ashamed to say I still lived with my mother as an adult. She was always very protective, perhaps very sheltering, so this is how it shook out. I wasn't useless - I knew how to be an adult, cook, keep the place clean, I had my own money, I did shopping, etc. Art commissions would help towards rent. But when it came to having a job, or just generally having
An official Kamen Rider poll you can enter
So you know how Japan occasionally does polls for what's the popular Rider/series? It seems for the 50th anniversary, there's a new one happening: https://www.nhk.or.jp/anime/kamen-rider/ From top to bottom, the categories are: Favorite work (Show/movie/spinoff), favorite Rider, and favorite music (vocal songs specifically). Why is this relevant? Well, when filling out the little form, providing details like your gender, there's a part where it asks for your Prefecture in Japan. The last option is "Outside of Japan" meaning that anyone can vote. Use Google Translate or your translator of choice so you can have a go at it. When it comes to the Riders, the way have it set up is... it lists all of the shows, movies etc, so if a Rider debuted in a particular movie then you'd wanna go select that (ie: Go to Movie Taisen 2010 if you want to vote for Skull). It's not a fully comprehensive Rider list, but it lists a lot of important ones. Of note I can confirm Dark Necrom's various
