This was a comic I made in 2025. I didn't finish it until now. Never posted/finished it due to lack of motivation. I really don't like how I drew Nightmare's crown back in 2025. The last two pages are the ones I finished today.

This is art of Onyx, basically they were hiding from...idk. Didn't post it because I really just forgot about it.

Just art if Xtale Muffet, never posted it because I didn't feel like it.

This is just a drawing of Karma!Frisk, never finished it due to laziness.

This drawing is just about Fara and Lilliana holding hands, never finished the background tho. Never finished because I was busy with school and stuff.

I drew this randomly in December of 2025. Never posted it because I was focusing more on other drawings.

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. On January 2, 2025, the Department’s National Security Division issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).  The NPRM provides the public an opportunity to submit comments on proposed revisions to the regulations governing FARA.  The comment period for the NPRM will close on March 3, 2025.

Short answer: Trump wants to gut FARA as well, so everybody can bribe everybody --- legally.

I've started a new project so I don't know if I'll be finishing this, but I wanted to share either way.

RIGHT-WING MEDIA PERSONALITY Lauren Chen left the United States in July in disgrace. Her Tenet Media YouTube channel, which positioned itself as a sort of MAGA supergroup bringing together such popular commentators as Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin, had been exposed in 2024 by the FBI as a Russian media front illicitly taking money from pro-Putin propaganda outlet RT. The September 2024 indictment from the Southern District of New York targeted Tenet’s FARA-skirting Russian funders, not Chen or her husband, Liam Donovan. But the Canadian couple were clearly described in the indictment as allegedly scheming with RT employees to direct $10 million to Tenet and even create a fictional persona to mislead one pundit about the source of the funding.

In the wake of the indictment, Chen lost her work visa and was forced to leave the country. She also vanished from social media. It seemed unlikely she would return to the United States anytime soon. But this holiday season, Chen and her husband were back in Nashville, where she lived while running Tenet. She broke the news herself, by announcing on Instagram and X on Christmas Day that she could now return to the United States, and specifically thanking the State Department’s Joe Rittenhouse, a senior adviser on consular affairs and former Trump presidential campaign worker, for his help. “The biggest thank you to Joe Rittenhouse at the State Department for moving mountains to ensure we were able to return in time for the holidays!” Chen wrote on Instagram. Chen also thanked Customs and Border Patrol, the FBI, and “the administration” broadly.

[...] THE IDEA THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION would assist the foreign founders of an illegally funded media outlet aimed at reaching American audiences with Russian propaganda might seem outlandish. Indeed, it might be the first time the administration has offered assistance to someone from Canada. But the administration has not shied away from throwing bones to right wing media figures—prioritizing them at White House functions and elevating them at the briefings. As for Russian interests, the president has long been outwardly comfortable associating with them. The FBI declined to comment. CBP, the White House, and the State Department didn’t respond to requests for comment. Neither did Chen or Rittenhouse.

[...] The Trump administration’s intervention on Chen’s behalf comes as it has moved to dramatically restrict visa rules more broadly—even denying visas to activists opposed to disinformation. Rittenhouse himself has briefed the media on the administration’s student-visa revocations. From my point of view, Trump’s help for Chen and her husband also hurts the real injured parties: Johnson, Rubin, and Pool. After all, with Chen and her husband on the loose in America once again, is any pro-Trump media star safe from being targeted with the next Tenet-like con?
