Off topic but why is Strade so filthy?

99% AHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHH (i'm a little excited),

Peachikeen

I'd honestly love to see Lawrence being happy or even cheerful for blue Monday, haha! He's so sad, it'd be wonderful to see a rare happy moment!

AJsbiggestfan

lawstrade fluff, maybe? maybeee? 👀

Clownthulhu

Can you do something of Ren for blue Monday? I know you do something for him almost every year, but I always like when there’s something nice for him. I wish people would draw him doing nice things more often. Can it be something with him enjoying a nice hot meal or drink without the metal shock collar? Bc the game is gonna be coming out with him wearing the collar.

Unifuckincorn

I wonder what your zodiac sun sign is

Antenora

A Happy ending AU sounds phenomenal

Gory.goodboy

Phroggo

I'm so sorry they put you through all that mess but so happy they're outta your hair- please take care of yourself man! As for blue Monday I'd say just something cozy- I remember the cute one of Fox watching Inuyasha, I'd love anything with Ren! Maybe something with him actually getting some comfort or just snuggled up playing hand held game lol

Phoenix Astra

That sounds insanely exhausting, I'm so sorry they put you through all that. I wish things would calm for you and wouldn't be so stressful! Hopefully things get better, ;x; hang in there dude! Also these look awesome! And oof sorry about the couch @.@

Loretti

I'm glad you finally don't have to deal with those assholes anymore, that's so infuriating that they did so much shit to you. Hopefully it's all uphill from here 💕 As for Blue Monday, all I can ever think of for a suggestion for you is something soft with Ren (maybe a "happy ending" alternate universe), maybe him curled up all warm and cozy after a bath with some stuffies and a warm drink. But I'm biased for more Ren content always lmao 👀 I hope you have a good upcoming week and still take some time for yourself to recuperate from all the stress you've gone through. You're doing amazingly, and you've got this!

Boneberry

So sorry to hear about that BS from the construction company. That’s not fair at all! But I’m glad that you’re making progress toward your move! And it’s so cool to see Strade’s room in full! I really enjoy how you draw backgrounds; they have a lot of character. I vividly remember pausing to stare at the backgrounds in both BTDs and TPOF and just kinda getting lost in them and analyzing every corner lmao

Moon

Oh bruh- but what did they do then at all? Wasnt it their job to do all those things for you? ..why is strade sleeping on a couch when he owns a house- and that even in a good Neighborhood lol. Well yea year started pretty okey but i feel like winter deoression got a little of us all. And on top of that my therapist wants me on station. Hell no. Everything culdnt start worse. I love your posts, i hope youre doing great and there wont be any more complicating things for you. With that, have a great new week gato~❤️

Sunny The fox

he has a fox calender omg

Ruru Ruru

We are so back! This is awesome and I’m so excited heheh

R-K Studios

Oh, I see! In any case, I estimate that Lawrence's will be released in 2027 and Ren's will be released in approximately 2029, right? Anyway, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait UwU

SillyBoy

another post, another good weekend. you are my savior gato from evil 🫀🐶 blood pressure simply increases when the next post appears Have a nice weekend gato!

Echooo

Strade get those crumbs off your couch aaaa I’m glad you were able to get a dishwasher! That, the microwave and washing machine are like, the main time-savers of the modern household!! Whooo! I was initially too afraid to suggest some rare Strade-fluff for Blue Monday, but it seems like so many other people here are wanting it so I’m now brave enough to pitch my vote towards that too. I think it would actually be really cool to see Strade, Ren, AND the nebulous gray Protagonist (collared?) in a semi peaceful domestic image? Because our protagonist might need some fluff too lmao

Gris 🥩🌿

Sounds like a tough week but you rocked through it! Contractor scams are the absolute worst! You’ve been working hard and I hope that the stress will settle down enough to give you a break. For a wholesome drawing Id love to see Lawrence repotting his plants with Strade and Ren! But whatever you make for Blue Monday will be perfect. 💚

Leo ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

P.S: Also don't feel like you have to try out any of my ideas for Ren/Blue Monday! It's a lot, I know. 😅 The suggestions are honestly just my personal headcanon of how I'd imagine Ren probably spent his life after escaping Strade. To me, Ren likely went through an initial identity/existential crisis as he reoriented himself to this new way of Being, of being the one now responsible for calling all the shots. But once that he got over the confusion & grieving period (of who he used to be/could've been, processing his mixed feelings about Strade, etc.)......Ren probably dusted himself off and made it his life's mission to "party it up" like never before, now that he's able to live life more authentically, on his terms. 😂 Honestly? Good for him! 👏 👏 👏 🥳

Gatobob

Haha I think that’s too far ahead to guess! This game seems to be taking around 2 years to make, so I guess I could expect similar from the other two. I can save a bit of time since I can reuse some parts of the game [ like menus and user interface ] but most of the work is in writing and art so they will probably take a similar amount of time

Leo ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Glad to hear that your home improvement situation is getting better! A dishwasher is a godsend, and one of humanity's greatest gifts to themselves. 👌😔✨ NGL, a petty part of me says you should leave an honest (Google?) review of the construction company services somewhere. Maybe your words will save some other customer from that company's BS, or get the right leadership to correct their staff's negligence from now on? Do what's best for you though!!! Congrats on your 99% completion rate! 🥳 I also love the details of the background! 🤩 Especially the slanting angle that I normally don't see in background images: it adds more dynamism to the typical long shot you'd see in a VN/movie. Glad Strade can now sleep comfortably without having his legs dangle over the arm seats. (His back probably appreciates it too! 😂) Hope you continue taking care of yourself, Gato. Take breaks from screentime if need be, especially if you find yourself compulsively "doom scrolling" as the 'young & hip' folks say. 😆 As for Blue Monday, I agree that it'd be nice to see a picture of younger/older!Ren being happy. Maybe a purposely sketchy-style, "photo collage" of small happy moments that Ren's collected over the years: like slurping ramen noodles in Japan, cheeks full like a chipmunk? Singing drunk karaoke (likely anime theme songs)? Smugly kicking Derek's ass in a PvP first-person shooter, as Derek curses him out over the head set (note: they don't know of each other yet in this timeline)? Loudly cheering at his favorite idol concert? Playing arcade Dance Dance Revolution? IDK. 😂 Just do whatever you feel like adding in whenever the actual day comes. Ultimately, just have fun with it! 😁 Your joy/comfort will shine through in your drawing, and it'll touch other people's hearts as well. 😊👍

R-K Studios

:00 So we'll have to wait a long time! When do you think the third installment will come out? I'm so excited right now!! Jsjajsj

Gatobob

Not in this game, that’ll have to wait for the third game!

R-K Studios

Will we see Ren's room? I'd be so excited if that happens!

Masked Foxx

Mmmm yes, define that foreskin. As for the wholesome drawing, it seems many agree that we all want to see Ren happy for once lol. I thought it would be so silly and cute if Strade took him to Chuck E Cheese's for his birthday and he was like playing in the ball pit or something lol. Just imagining it makes me smile.

Mori Covington

Yeah. I get it. I'm sorry things are like how they are right now.

mmajee

Aaw the fox calendar! 🥹♥️

Gatobob

I'm afraid I don't much have the luxury of dwelling on who voted for who in the country that is now threatening to invade mine. Soon enough I'll be doing my own voting, and possibly my own fighting to keep Canada safe. May we all be safe.

K1SMET115

im so glad you're ready to rumble! ooo that's interesting! thanks for sharing that :D

ShinanaEvangelian

Man, why they make you clean up the mess at that time? I'd be on the company responsible for that. Hopefully you won't have to deal with them any more after the move. And you're so close on completing the screenshot. For the Blue Monday, How about Ren enjoying a nice hot bath? I'm sorry I'm not having a lot of wholesome ideas, but anything with Ren will make me happy nonetheless.

Gatobob

I'm feeling excited and just ready to change gears I think haha! BGs are still hard to draw for me I think, but I'm starting to feel more comfortable with them. They're really sort of like a character all to themselves.

Persephone

I saw a lot of people point it out too, but an art piece with Ren doing well, would be awesome ✨ He was, more or less, a perfect victim in the first game - so seeing him heal and become better (like him watching stars, creating his own art, enjoying a nice meal, anything that would make you feel happy) would be a hell of a "pick me up" on blue Monday 💖

Mira - lovemedead

Agree with this!!

Mira - lovemedead

Agree with this!

Mira - lovemedead

I think it would be comforting to see Ren, Law, and Strade all together!

tieuminh dang

My idea for blue monday is Law Ren and Strade hang out together ✨ drinking beers (coke for Ren if you want to)on rooftop and watch the starry sky. Anyway i hope you a new week without any shjtty situation 🫶

Allyson Kroon

So sorry to hear you had to deal with a mess that wasn't yours to begin with, you shouldn't have had to. Hope things finally get better for you. As far as the Blue Monday drawing suggestion, how about something like Ren enjoying a nice steaming bowl of ramen or a cup of hot cocoa while watching or drawing anything related to anime?

Gatobob

LMAOOOO

strade's hausfrau

strade fluff for blue monday? 🙏

Vyneah

And I forgot, I love the background! The amount of detail you put into it is amazing.

Vyneah

I came early to the update and was going to comment, but I only had the time to drop a like before my blood pressure dropped 🥲 Now that I'm feeling better, I read some comments suggesting Farz and Sid (And Raven :"<), and I completely agree with them, that would be great! If that's not an option, maybe Celia enjoying a glass of wine? (Idk, I just love her so much) Or maybe any character that we haven't seen on a while?

spongeunction

OMGGG the background looks spectacular!!!

RaynieYogurt

Also glad that things seem to be looking up!! Hooray for a new dishwasher 😌

RaynieYogurt

I'd love to see any kind of comforting/domestic drawing with Strade, Law, and Ren!

Catro1000

Blue monday idea huh... Ren in his little 'nest' enjoying chocolates and anime on his laptop! Probably looking like he just got out of the bath since it's a 'self care' day!

Ellie

Yayay!! I love how we get to peek at Strade's cave now, i imagine it smells rank as fuck. But also soon all the art will be done! Congrats!!! Maybe for Blue Monday, maybe an updated drawing of Farz and Sid? I love those funky little guys so much, they deserve a nice time. Maybe it's just them watching a movie or another series of Sid's horrific shirts but this time he clicks every facebook ad he sees edition.

kajerone

Ommggggg congraturitos on finally moving away from the construction shitshow!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Legit one of the most miserable experiences in owning a place is the potential renovation and contractor issues. I hope you get everything worked out without any problems moving forward!!!

iridian （＾Ｏ＾☆♪

why y’all got a picture of my crib? 🤨🙄🙄🙄 /j

Problem Sleuth

Thank you! Mona sounds right. I love her ♡ great character from what has been released! Hehe.. when Facility becomes a game I'm going to be all over it~

iridian （＾Ｏ＾☆♪

also good to hear ur situation is getting a lot better !!! glad to know the new year is going good for you <333

iridian （＾Ｏ＾☆♪

ahhhh for blue monday legit anything w strade would make my day :333 i love that man too much!!!! maybe strade learning some new anime lore from ren and being the boomer he is or maybe they could make a mixtape on a shitty fisherprice dj set (i’ve seen too many baby remixes w a specific dj toy on tiktok) 😭😭😭

Vyneah

I think her name's Mona, and I agree :D

Zero

For blue Monday maybe Strade and Ren doing something domestic? 🤔 or redoing some doodles you have in your backlog?

Zero

I love the way you fleshed out his man cave, it look so cozy! The crumbs and beer cans is such a funny and cute touch🥹 Good luck with your move!!

Sm1l3-d3m0n

He has a fox calendar, that's precious 🥺🥺🥺 Bet that couch smells like spilled beer, stale sweat, and cum. When is YKMET: Smell-O-Vision Edition gonna release? lmao

Minabena

Good luck with moving you got this!! Hang in there

avityfalia

Ah yes, blue Monday. I’ve been trying to forget… You could draw something funny, like forcing strade to clean his dirty ass room? Vacuum those cushions man.

gurogoth

Sorry, that was probably my fault. It's really hard to properly draw Strade's dick when I'm slobbering and bouncing all over it 😞 I'll try to contain myself next time you're drawing so you can detail it properly

princess capybara

Maybe for blue Monday, you could draw some Farz and Sid? I’m not sure if you draw them still but since you got the websites back up it would be a nice treat? Or maybe drawing your personal favorite characters you created enjoying coffee or hot coco together :) Glad to hear things are going up after a hard week, bless.

lawrence

Im so sorry it's been such a tough week for you..for someone who works so hard doesn't ever deserve to go through something like this. also i find that you having to clean up that mess yourself was absolutely outrageous. People can be so inconsiderate :(. sending you so much love and support, you truly deserve a break from all this madness 🫂 on a side note, THE BACKGROUNDS LOOK AMAZING UGH! the fox calender is everything! 🥹❤️ the messy dishes too, relatable. your art is always so amazing, it's always so joyus seeing art from you every saturday!! 😼 thank you so so much for this update! Please stay nice and warm this weekend! happy saturday to you ❤️

Problem Sleuth

Gato your updates are so nice to read~ hopeful and sweet and it just warms my heart that even when dealing with bad construction companies [boy have I been there!] You still find ways to stay positive~ Glad to hear that hopefully the worst of it is behind you! Sending well wishes for an easy few weeks and luck on the move! For blue Monday art ideas... maybe something cute with Farz and Sid~ [Or anything Lawrence or raven or the cute cop girl from facility, her name escapes me but she is just! Idk, she deserves a fun day at the Faire or something~ haha]

Mori Covington

OH MY GOD STRADE HAS A LITTLE FOX CALENDAR?!?! AAAHH

Mori Covington

Personally I would suggest drawing something to alienate any Trump supporter fans you might have but I understand you not wanting to stir the pot. That's why YOU'RE the one with a public platform and not me. Because my ass would be in the pot with cake mixers in each hand. Anyway, I can't wait to see Strade's well-defined foreskin!!

Dakota Locklear

In love with how he has a fox calender, it's so sweet 😭😭

Dakota Locklear

LMFAO

Dakota Locklear

I second this 100%

damnhippies

i’m sorry you were left with such a big mess :/ but i’m glad it’s over are you’re able to take the reins. also the living spaces look amazing! love the fox calendar, sticky notes, empty plate, and circled calendar date (looks like the 13th? wonder if that’s on purpose) that all make it look very lived-in.

Meatloaf

I wouldn't mind seeing Lawrence for Blue Monday! I'm also ecstatic to see Strade's mancave finally and the iconic bodypillow couch, glad to see that space fleshed out!! ^^

audacityofyou

The fox on the calendarrrrr aaaa it all looks so good!

Mahi★Gal

For suggestions, id say draw what gives you comfort! Media, food etc. I think if we're being in theme with the game work, strade cuddling PC would be nice :))

nagi_nats

You’re amazing, Gato! You've done so much work, and yet you never stop working on the game for even a moment. As always, a true heroine! I’m so happy to read that there’s going to be one less mess in your life, rooting for you! And I’m glad to support you~ About Strade's mancave… I CAN’T DECIDE WHAT AMUSES ME MORE: THE WEIRD BROWN STAINS UNDER THE COUCH OR THE FOX CALENDAR… like, this dude is sitting at his laptop, browsing the darknet, and next to him is a picture of a fox jumping into the snow. THAT’S SO CUTE AND FUNNY. I absolutely love how you work with details! As for an idea for a comforting drawing… hmm, how about a sketch of some everyday moment from Strade and Ren’s life? Something outside the streams and torment. A rare moment that feels almost cozy and even 'normal'?

DreamingAna

So proud of you Gato!! 💕 As for blue Monday, maybe Strade petting Ren? :D Kind of like "you're doing a good job surviving all this time buddy" It could be kind of sweet-yet-unsettling type of thing haha. :')

fleshlikeplastic

Blue Monday is no match for Strade’s well-defined foreskin

Aufhocker

Oh God, I'm so sorry about the absolute mess your company left you with. I'm still cleaning dust from when I had my tub redone a few weeks ago myself. I'm glad things are easing up for you!

Taheca

I'm so glad things are improving for you! Glad to be a part of buying a dishwasher! 🫡 And it's so nice to finally see the Man Cave! I'm curious about the date circled on the calendar, even if we probably won't find out what it is. Like, what is it that has Strade excited enough to mark off days looking for it? 👀 (Also, I love that it's a fox calendar 😂) For Blue Monday suggestions, since you did Strade (and Ren) last year, I'm thinking maybe Lawrence tending to his plants (or something else that would make the man happy), or Mason doing something.

Gatobob

Oh yeah woops I forgot the watermark 😂 ah well, it’s just one pic, it’s alright

jules

the strade cave !!!

plapx3

Strade's sparsely decorated cardboard box goes hard!!! I love the suspicious stain and the crumbs!!! What is that other stain on the couch tho lol it's scaring me

Cadaverdog

Glad shit's getting sorted! As for the blue Monday drawing, may I humbly request... Magical girl Ren and villain strade?

Pigeon

Wishing you luck for the upcoming weeks! <3

Luan Blew

A hard worker, he even has notes so he doesn't forget his "business" 🚶🏻

ThreeYrsLost

OH MY GOD WAIT STRADE'S CALENDAR HAS A PICTURE OF A FOX JUMPING INTO SNOW IM GONNA THROW UP THATS SO CUTE

lili

LETS GOOO IM PROUD SO OF YOU GATO 💪 99💪🔥

Evan

Great work as always, your backgrounds and environments/rooms always feel so lived in and full of little detail that really just bring it all together! Sometimes it feels like art pieces miss that, but when I look at the spaces you create for your characters it never feels like *just* a background, it feels like you could really imagine the characters living and existing in those spaces, what led up and contribute to their decor and design choices. It's an impressive quality to have in art, and your pieces always encapsulate it very well!

Sorito

i'm so glad you can get yourself nice stuff like the dishwasher with our help, Gato<3 tysm for working hard in the game I'm so excited!!!

ThreeYrsLost

GOD your background work is beautiful! I'm glad your moving is going well too - my family & I are about to be moving - it's already stressful & we haven't even done anything, so I can only imagine LOL Also had no clue about how poor mental health is this time of year! I've been in a rut myself, but it's nice to know this is common, & I'm not alone in that! As for art for that day, my only two cents are that I love seeing Strade, Ren, and/or Lawrence just being happy guys, but obviously that's just me LOL Do as you wish, Gato! We'll love it regardless :)

needlawrencecontent

ahh the fox calendar... U-U would love to see some lawrence art for blue monday!

Villain_Simp

I hope everything is going well for you! I can’t wait to build new strade house from ykme 🫣 thank you for your hardworking!! 💞

K1SMET115

Woohooooo!! I'm so glad stuff is looking up. it must feel great to have control again! I'm so happy for you and proud of you! just 9 images to go, how do you feel? I love the way you said "didn't define foreskin well enough", lol. I LOVE those BG CGs. How do you do it?? They're so good! a suggestion for blue Monday art... how about something Ren or Fox themed? My head goes to Rens Steak and potatoes meal from the second game, i can picture that being MCs comfort meal if Ren keeps them :3

MelonBa11s

BOUNCE. ON. THAT. THANG.

Charunia ❤️‍🔥🔨

ah, I'm so SO glad that this messy thing almost done 😲🥹🤩 YOU DID IT!

ResidentReptile

yippee!! so happy for you and the game progress!! as for blue monday, maybe you could draw MC or someone else making friends with the lich?

limeshroom

(gato the watermark!!) almost done im so hyped! super glad things seem to be finally working out in your favor too... not many ideas for the blue monday pic though sadly but id like to see lawrence personally ^_^ or maybe any of the chars exclusive to tpof?

Corruptfoxarc

Brooooo he doesnt even have a bed lmao. He a couch sleeper

celestialVocalist

Man, his mancave is so tiny. And I see that fox calendar 👀 As for a suggestion for Blue Monday, maybe a cute pic of Ren all shy with flowers for MC! It'd be super romantic 🥰 Have a good week, Gato!
