Month of Meh- Need help!

Hi everyone! I took a bit of a break from playing this game and just recently started playing again and I’m super confused with the ‘Month of Meh’ quest.

My active quests are instructing me to take a picture with Nisetama but am wondering if it’s just a glitch? Or can this character still be found now that we are in October?

Also the Dye challenge with Tuxedosam- I’ve dyed several items of clothing in his shop since this quest appeared but for whatever reason, it’s not counting them as part of the required qty?

This is the last time I take such a long hiatus from a game. lol. I’m so lost.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
