GOOEYCANDY Newsletter & Updates! 🎃 [SEPTEMBER2025 - Issue #18]: "The Road to Gooeyween"

Welcome back for another Gooeycandy Newsletter, where you get up to date with ALL things gooeycandy! Let's dive right in!

🎨 Art & Project Progress:

Let's start with something you may or may not have noticed, the "gooeycandy" logo got a little touch up! It didn't change too much, but I really like the thicker lines... looks.....gooey-er! I'll slowly go updating things with the new logo soon! Hope you like it!

As you may know if you saw my previous post, the Gooeyween chart is officially posted and I'm starting work on the first prompt this week. I think I have a few monster boys in mind, but there's one I particularly want to draw lately!

If you missed the post, here's the post with the rules, prizes and some NSFW drawings of the new mascot, Gourdon!

For all of Fall, this Gourdon sticker will be a freebie with every purchase from my shop, while supplies last!

Speaking of my shop, the new GayBoy Advance Enamel Pin has also been added to my shop, along with a restock of the Jacked Jason & Guzma pins!

👋🏻 Hands On! Progress:

Now for a really REALLY exciting update, the animated background for the upcoming “Hands On!” title has been (mostly) completed! Look how alive it looks! This is a low-quality GIF but you can see the HQ video of it on YouTube.

I’m so insanely proud of how it came out and a huge thanks to my lovely programmer for making this possible. There’s still quite a bit to do for the game but I can’t wait to continue to show you all the ways Hands On will be evolving! Hope you’re all as hype as I am!

❔ Questions For You:

Will you be participating in Gooeyween this year? If so, who are you drawing for the Monster prompt!

This section focuses on my personal life & stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip this segment!

The weekend event went really chaotically but overall was really great, and a lot of people told me they had a wonderful weekend so I’ll take it as a success!

I’m taking some mental health steps lately like deep cleaning my house and throwing out clothes + cooking more. I’ve been going through an awful lot mentally lately but I’m doing my best to take control and I’m staying really optimistic!

I treated my lovely friends who helped me with tabling during Barapalooza to a nice hibachi dinner the other day and the bill was about $300 and an insanely generous man we were sat with covered the entire bill for us because “we were good company”… it was absolutely insane and just really cemented my belief that you receive the energy you put out into the world. So be positive, be kind, and do the best you can! Love you all!!

🎥 NOW WATCHING: X-Files!

SPOILERS AHEAD!! Don't read if not caught up!

👽 X-Files: Officially got a “I Want To Believe” poster for my living room. This show has the absolute best vibes and I would die for Scully 100 times.

🇦🇺 Survivor Australia VS The World: I watched the season entirely in like 3 days and wow that was a master class in Survivor gameplay and one of the best seasons I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t watched it, I won’t spoil it, but wowowowowow just insane strategy, cool challenges, raw emotion and one of the best finales I’ve ever seen!

Need new shows to watch while I work! If you're feeling something, recommend it down below! Feel free to hmu in the comments if you're also watching any of these!
