Can I act? Yessir. Can I do voice over? Absolutely. Do I have the equipment? Yep, yep! Can you get a hold of me?

No.

Heck no.

I exist in this vortex where three weeks ago feels like yesterday. And 3 years ago feels like last month. I just float, suspended in time.

I am a ghost that haunts a living space lined with disorganized cords and wires. I trip over piles of empty juice boxes and squeeze myself a path through stacks of books. And there's this dark corner in my kitchen that keeps making creepy crawly noises. What is it? A beetle? A raccoon?! I'm too afraid to check.

The month that I launched my website and announced "being back" literally all the things happened. All the things I hate and fear came falling from the sky. I tried smiling and figured....life is just exacting its tax on me for every person I've hurt or disappointed. But I hear that's not a thing. Either way, just as I had said I wouldn't let this kind of stuff get in the way, stuff got in the way.

I know I'm probably not alone. I know a lot of you are trying to imagine what I could possibly be going through that makes me so unavailable, so flaky, so hard to capture.- Since you've likely pushed yourself through worse. Well I have no definitive answer for you except that I'm probably going to be this difficult to work with for a long time.

If the directions of a job are unclear, if my environment is too loud, if the quality of my work isn't perfect, if I'm not going to get a dopamine hit off doing the work right away. Whatever

little

thing

isn't aligned,

I'm stuck. I don't move.

So yeah. I suck at this. I mean even in my interview about doing the voice of Pipistrella, it's mentioned how hard it was to correspond with me. And guess what, I haven't done any new work since June. No artwork, no voice over. Nothing.

So if any of you want to work with me, I am grateful. But I think I will be taking down my website this month, it costs to have it up and it's not being utilized. And following that, I will be consolidating anything else I can. I just need to take it easy.

I'm still here. You can talk to me. But I'm not the able/level minded person many people imagine (or expect) me to be. Maybe, in a vacuum, without variables, I'm a stand-up person. But that's not life. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Except maybe tardigrades.

But anyway.

It's not you, baby.

It's me.

HELLO READER,

10 years ago I started collaborating here on Newgrounds and it has inevitably shaped my path in life and as a voice actor.

My last post here is from two years ago, and I said "I'm back!" really thinking I was. But life continued being a revolving door of unexpected changes and distractions after that. I mean waking up to a swat team in my room level distractions. I kept telling myself that I'd let my guard down and re-enter the creative workforce once this all stops.

"Someday I'll rebuild my website, make a new demo reel, start that podcast, record those lines for my friend."

Guess what I realized? This is not stopping. This is life. There will always be things outside my control and I can't let my power to create be one of those things.

[Pi the fairy, by PYNKBLUD]

So, I'm back. This time, I AM BACK. I am ready to do what needs done to create something of substance and quality, and I will do so with a smile. I've grown those mental muscles and am ready to use them. My voice is my legacy. My creative flow is my life force and I am fighting for it. (So deep, I know right?)

So lemme hit you with this new character reel, BAM!

And my new website BAM!

To anyone who's worked with me in the past or tried to work with me, I ask you to take another chance on me. I am SO ready. Add me to your roster, tell your friends, recommend me, whatever you can and I will do right by you. I know it's a lot to ask, because I owe so much of my success to you and I've been hiding in the wings for so long. But if you feel drawn to my creative spark at all, please help me start my return with a boom!

And to all of you who might be holding off on creating because you're waiting for that perfect day where everything aligns. I know life can be scary and overwhelming sometimes, and I can't fault anyone for trying to stay afloat. But of everything you toss out, keep your creativity. Don't ever lose that! It's what makes you YOU!

Thank you for reading!

Hello~☆

After a couple of years of not being mentally available to collaborate and create! I am back!

I am currently working on rebranding and updating my demos. Rebuilding my website and gathering testimonials.

If you're familiar with my work and would like to get me on board your project before I go fully online to the whole of the interboops: Contact me here! We can discuss rates and/or trades.

HOWEVER!

In the meantime, my cat has a potatoe (tumor) growing on his chin. Before we can fully dive back in, we gotta get this potatoe off of him!

He is thinking, no mama. I don't wanna turn into a potatoes.

In other news, I stream every Thursday night 6 to 10 pm PST at Twitch.tv/FairyPie - it is a variety stream. We do Art, voice over stuff, watch train dash cams and chat. Retro gaming.

I plan to upload my own voice audio, artwork and music to Newgrounds. Just recently GHOST TOWN TOKYO, where I've hidden a Newgrounds tank and Bitey from Brackenwood.

Although it isn't high res. So you'll have to squint. That's an issue I'll be fixing going forward. As I do more landscapes from the ghost world of the contrete jungle, I will be sure to make it a clean high res art piece for you to explore!

Chluaid already found Bitey, can you?

Thank you for reading!

Edit: Big thank you the couple of you who followed the fundraiser link and donated. You have no idea how much it means. Your names will be on my mind when he is in surgery. Almost to half way to our goal!

Through 6 live sessions over on my Twitch Channel [https://www.twitch.tv/fayfaye]. My viewers and I created a spooky scene with the goal of completing it and uploading it to Newgrounds for Halloween.

The challenge? That all sound effects, voice over and writing be done live and on camera. Using suggestions and keywords from my viewers, we were able to create a short story with many layers. I'm very excited to share it with you!

Hi, Chat! I love you~

ps. You can view the process here, by watching the "Spooky Stuffs - Audio Creation" broadcasts: https://www.twitch.tv/fayfaye/videos/archive

--- This is a 24hr charity livestream I’m a part of. It’s for a fellow animator and artist, Mikey, who goes by AngelXMikey. He’s a very talented animator who has been struck with a very unfortunate dilemma.

He has a disease called cystic fibrosis and recently his lungs started to shut down because they were going through rejection. He had to be on life support until he could get a new pair in a transplant.

Luckily he got his lungs in time, went through with the transplant, and is in recovery. However, his family has been hit with a huge amount of debt to afford the medical costs of the surgery, life support, and their stay while he’s been going through all of this.

The goal of the livestream is to raise as much money as we can for his family. People will be streaming on RicepirateMick’s twitch channel for 2 hrs during this event along with many other awesome artists and animators. During the last 30 mins of their stream segment, They’ll draw something for whoever is the top donator during the time I’m streaming. ----


THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY! <3

It's time I bring to the public ear, the arduous journey of McPoopy-Pants Jr. 
 

I see some of you are laughing. This is not funny. This kid died of a poopy. How would you feel if your mom died of a poopy as a kid. Think about that.

Boo!

love,
Pipes

Fabs, one of my animators and a dear friend of mine, drew me a lovely picture for my birthday. What I didn't know, was that she also recorded it!
