Gift from @Nakvi (thanks a million again)
You're a day late Jane, you fucking idiot! You fucking adorable idiot!
Betty has the right idea.
Secret Santa gift from @MissShirotoKuro (thanks a million again)
Here's last year's as seen in my 2022 recap post.
Is this also my 2023 recap post? As I'm writing this, I don't even know. I like to keep these positive but I've a long list of people to tell to go fuck themselves so maybe that can wait til next time.
Here's 2021's Secret Santa since I've never posted it anywhere before.
Damian by ?????
Well forth and foremost, special thanks to @Glass-of-Awesome for this one.
Lisa by @Glass-of-Awesome (as I just said, try to pay attention)
...because the title of the post doesn't really work without it.
And one last Christmassy one from good old @SomeDoodles.
She hasn't made it into the rumbles yet but you can see her (in my (soon to no longer be) current pfp by @Nakvi but also) before she was a her, in action here.
You'll have seen the almighty NGTV Marathon by now, I'm sure. Here's my part that I'm just publishing this second (or three hours ago by the time I finish this post).
Wrapping up (pun not intended) the Christmas stuff. This is the brief period of time at the end of the year where you can open a whole Advent Calendar guilt free.
...or maybe you're supposed to wait til next year, I wouldn't know, I opened them all half way through November.
Speaking of doing things prematurely, I've also already planned what projects I'm going to do next year.
New Year's Revolution (against YouTube in particular)
Although, as I say, I'm not sure about that second one. But if anybody wants to take part in project 1, I'm always up for a fight.
Suppose I should also mention this bollocks I posted yesterday. Synchronicity, I think I heard some dickhead on YouTube (not Jacksfilms for once) call it, if you're into that sort of thing.

UPDATE (before I've even posted it): Actually have space for more videos so might as well share this DeviantArt thing I attempted since it's also Xmas themed.
On to the rumbles then. As always you can join here.

Literally Chandler Bing from Friends also joined the festivities for some reason. No room to embed those, links below.
The one where Chandler shows up
A shorter Chandler Rumble would be perfection
Here're the results of that.

Introducing Captain Canada, my absolute favourite character that @ChutneyGlaze designed for this... joint first with twenty other favourites.
(music volume decreased after first tune)
Short version with special intro... not public yet (god dammit).
@TheShokBlok had some fun with our masked Mounty here in their latest self-inflicted drawing challenge.

I then had some fun of my own with a bit of friendly cultural antagonism.

Short version not public yet.
Of course, as Betty very eloquently put it, you let one "dude" in and now @ChutneyGlaze himself wants a piece of the action.
Here's @AphidLad's take on our new bee friend.
@NotThatAphid (latter is NSFW)
And short version not public yet.
Right on cue, here comes @Nakvi as well. An orange man and a green man. Lucky they're not from around here.
Here's @Nebulate's drawing of popular rumble combatant, Spiders Bunny along with her (apparent) friend who hasn't been around for a while (I just naturally assumed they hated each other).
Cute bunny girls (for a change) from @Nebulate
Blinki has also been absent for a while but I let Chelsea use her (originally Betty's) outfit for @BroSkullEmoji's character fashion suggestion thread.
Chelsea in Betty's threads by @BroSkullEmoji
That reminds me, I was supposed to animate Betty beating the shit out of Girlfriend from Friday Night Funkin' for stealing her look... TWICE!!
Here's another one from Broseph
Betty T. Baseball Bitch (& some other characters, whatever) by @BroSkullEmoji
I've said it before, but it's still baffling to me that I get mentioned in things like this along with so many cool people and Spaggo.
Holy shit, I'm out of images already!
Alright, here's a quick #2023-recap. As Fulp himself said, it was a very busy year. Everything I did is on full display, no need to list it all here. As is evident by the twenty other people I wanted to shout-out today and what I JUST said above, I'm very grateful to be able to sit here and do this shit, and make posts like this.
...
Do you hear that?
...
It's coming.
...
It's going to be a huge one.
...
Guess it was nothing, was expecting a big BUT! Tell you what, if somebody GIVES ME AN EXCUSE between now and next time, I'll unleash the two paragraphs of vitriol I just deleted.
For now, I think I'd just like to thank some people who are actually worth talking about.
@ChutneyGlaze for all the help with the rumbles etc. (although I pay you so actually gfys (jk <3)
@Maiden-Chynna for the Mitch redesign and any other characters you might've helped him with
@Nakvi also for (what turned out to be) all the help with the rumbles
@jazzy666 for voicing almost everybody in the rumbles
@Daysdove for actually joining the rumbles (not that we needed them to get into a fight)
@TheShokBlok for a different kind of rumble (among many other projects)
@AJV-Draws and @PerKGrok now that you mention it AND @Daysdove again AND we can't forget @Kolumbo for all the rumble arenas.
@SomeDoodles, @Nebulate, @Didjargo, @BroSkullEmoji and a million other artists who've drawn the ladies... from THE RUMBLES
Didn't even mention the musicians I've worked with, @G2961 comes to mind
@TomFulp for creating the website with the best community on the internet (not that that's a high bar).
I will actually mention that one project me and Days did.
There are of course many more cool people I didn't list or we'd be here all day.
CaN't ImAgInE wHy I'm MeNtIoNiNg It NoW.
There is of course one person I DIDN'T forget.
@pointlessfield, I'm ready when you are...
