#like to give a shoutout to ariane for the stealth luffa cosplay

I couldn’t find anything that really fit the theme of this post.   I tried searching for “Dragon Ball Z 2000″, and came across the AB Groupe opening theme.   The above is some sort of music video of a remix of the theme, as performed by Ariane.   I’m just gonna go ahead and pull a J.K. Rowling and say that this is the National Anthem on Planet Bigreen.   They poop in toilets on Planet Bigreen, by the way.   I just want to make that clear, in case future generations are curious, an I’m not around to approve the edits on Luffamore.com.

So yeah, I feel a bit self-centered when I do these, but it’s also the only way I can keep track of when I reached these sorts of milestones.   I reached 2000 on January 30, 2019, actually, but I wanted to give it a few days and make sure I had a healthy buffer in case a bunch of people unfollowed.  Anyway, I looked up to see when I hit 1,000 followers, and it was January 30, 2016, exactly three years ago.   Three years before that, this blog was about a month old, so that’s nice and symmetrical.    I just assumed my popularity had slowed down over the past few years, but I guess it’s been pretty steady.  

Maybe 2000 isn’t anything to crow about, but I thought 1000 was a big number to have, so 2000 is like... two of those.   I just want to say I appreciate it a lot.   It’s a big deal to me to just sort of horse around on this thing and talk about anime and crap like that, and to know that people are interested in it.   I’ve been making a lot of gifs lately, and that’s not really my forte, but some of them have gotten a lot of notes, and that’s pretty cool.   I’ve drawn some stuff in the past year, and that’s gotten some positive feedback, which is a really big deal because I’m not much of an artist at all.   I’ve done a few Dragon Ball fanfics and those have gotten a lot of nice responses, so that’s really great.   I don’t want to overstate it, but I think this blog has helped me gain confidence with my creative endeavors, and that’s important.   I don’t know what I’ll try next, but it’s nice to know that at least someone will probably be interested in my one-man show “Bigreen: They Poop In Toilets Like Everyone Else”.

I feel like I need to give some sort of update on stuff I’ll be posting to the blog in the near future, but... I feel like either it’s stuff everyone’s already aware of or stuff that even I don’t know I’m gonna do yet.    I mean, in January 2016 I had no idea I was gonna watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and that was pretty much all I didn in 2017.   For all I know I’m gonna turn into this huge Hamtaro fan in 2021.   Just Hamtaro everywhere until you get sick of it.  

Well, okay, this is what I know I’ve got going on:

The Dragon Ball Liveblog is rolling on.   I’m kind of amazed I got through 101 episodes (and two movies) in only 34 days.    My plan is to finish the Piccolo Sagas and Mystical Adventure in February, and then move on to Dragon Ball Z.    I might slow down a little in March, since by then I’ll have reached a point where I can safely cover one or two episodes per day and still finish by the end of the year.  Before, I wasn’t sure I could make that work, but now that I’m down to 343 episodes, I think I can make this work.

I need to update Luffa sometime soon.   I took December off from writing, and then some IRL stuff went down and I couldn’t find time to post what I had written in November.   Now it’s February, and I think I’ve had long enough of a break from writing.  

Which reminds me, I still gotta get that Bardock fanfic finished.  I held off on it because I wanted to see if that Broly movie had any insights for me, but I saw it two weeks ago, so I’m out of excuses now.  

I’d also like to write something else, but I haven’t decided that that should be yet.  

I enjoyed that re-liveblog of Vento Aureo I did back in August, and it occurred to me that maybe liveblogging another JoJo part might be a worthwhile experience.  I only saw the anime versions of Parts 1-4, so it might be cool to just go through the manga version and see how that reads.   That might be a ways down the road, though.   Check with me in 2020, before I get into my Hamtaro phase. 

That reminds me, I’m technically still covering JoJolion, although it’s a pretty slow process since I’m waiting for a few chapters to build up.    I might not be a bad idea to just do a post or three recapping the plot so far, just to make sure I’m up to speed. 

I really want to draw Seras Victoria.    I mean, I’d like to draw other stuff, but one day I was thinking about stuff to draw, and I thought that needs to be in my bucket list.   That’s a character where I find myself disatisfied with a lot of the fanart out there, because it tends to veer into this sexy anime girl genre, and that’s now how I see the character.   I just want to get my own version down on paper.    Also, I thought it might be a good exercise if I tried to imitate shading from a screencap of Hellsing.    There was a picture of Batman I wanted to try that with, but Seras first, because I’ve never drawn her before.

More Xenoverse content.   I think I stopped playing Xenoverse 2 over a year ago.   It wasn’t anything wrong with the game, I just didn’t have time for it, and then one thing led to another and I never got back into it.   I miss that game, and there was a lot of cool updates to it that I still haven’t checked out, and it was fun posting screencaps from my sessions.   There’s a lot of new suckers for Luffa to beat the crap out of, and I probably need to play as some of the other OCs I have on the game.    Get Big League Chew off the bench.  

That’s about all I know.    Well, I’m gonna be busy, so I better wrap this up.   Thanks again, and hopefully I’ll see you at 3,000.
