I just wanna say, thanks to everyone who has been in my musical journey throughout the year of Two Thousand Twenty Four! It has been a long road, and my music has definitely gotten better since then. Here are some of my personal favorites things about this year, musically at least:

• Song #42: End Of The Bad - This has got to be one of my greatest pieces, it somehow got me scouted and I'm pretty sure on Takeover Tuesday! Whoever has done these things, my heart goes out to you wand wishes you well. (this is also my personal dividing point, of which this song was made, quality of music increased since)
• I joined the discord again and in turn, the Beepbox server. If you didn't know, I make music mainly using mods of Beepbox, but sometimes vanilla versions too. Anyways, this event definitely had a major impact on how I made music, plus I had some new internet friends. I won't disclose their identities (out of respect), but you guys have definitely helped me in the long run!
• I learned how to make dubstep. Dubstep is just pretty cool in my personal opinion, plus learning how to make not just joke songs (the Worstbeat Series) and try my hand at good EDM was not easy, yet I pushed through! It took several tries, and now matter how good or bad they were, I took my lumps and moved on. I'd say, it was kind of fun!
• Getting double digit fans. I originally went into this Newgrounds thing without expectations of followers and just a place to dump my music. But, earlier on new years eve, I received my tenth fan. Just wow! (It might not seem like a lot to some, but it is good to me, alright? I cherish this :3)
• I have lived through my crazy mind. If you've noticed, some of the descriptions in my songs are dark, and I apologize for this. Anyways, I don't want to get too personal here, but I will a little bit. My mind does things that I don't like. Despite that, I made it through! The dysphoria and depression now are seen as just very annoying rather than super dangerous like they used to be. I don't even know if it's music itself, personal perseverance, both, or neither, I am just glad to have seen myself grow. This being said, it is truly amazing that I was able to serve all of you guys some tunes, even if they aren't the greatest or interacted with :3

I probably could have listed more, but I think I'll just do a top 5 every year. Next is the questions

Why did I start posting on Newgrounds?

I originally made my first song (Theory Of Eleven Sausages) because I thought "well, if I post something on NG, I can instantly have my very own music in my Geometry Dash levels!" This was, however, proven to be false, because at the time, I knew nothing about having to contact elder moderators or RobTop himself.

What are you going to do going forward?

Firstly, I will post news. Probably during holidays, or just whenever the time feels good enough for that kinda thing. It won't be an everyday thing, but it also won't be extremely uncommon. I also may start doing random art stuff whenever I want, but that will be way less common and I won't be as into it as I am with my music. For the following new years, I will only add the questions "what are my favorite and least favorite pieces I made last year" and "Is there anything I would have done differently last year". Anything that I need to put down after that can be for the end. One more thing: I will maybe make icons for my music. I'm not sure though, since the plain black seems to be fine.

What are my favorite and least favorite pieces I made last year?

My favorite piece is End Of The Bad, and I am unsure about my least favorite.

Is there anything I would have done differently last year?

I would make a lot of my music not god-awfully repetitive. Oh man, It's so repetitive that I feel bad for people having to hear it sometimes. Sure my modern stuff is good, but the past is not. BUT, I take my lumps and move on, since that's the only way to really go about it :) (to clarifiy, I don't have a disdain or hate for my old music, I just didn't know what I was doing as much, plus I had some negative values in my head at the time too)

[[Outro]] I really hope I did a good job with my time spent on Newgrounds so far, and I hope to do a good job next year, too. It has been wonderful and just mind-blowing how much stuff even happened this year. The next new year's news won't be as much of a speech as this one, that's for sure. What I can say though, is that I respect all of the people that respect me :D

With all this being said, I bid you fellow Newgrounders a good night.
