Been a While
Hey everyone. I know it's been a while.
Nothing's cancelled, I'm still working on it. However, at the time that I post this, I am currently working on re-making the HTML and CSS that makes up the site display. If you visit and things look weird, that's why. I made the code when I was really starting to get into HTML and CSS, and needless to say, I've improved a lot. My goal is to make the site more accessible when possible.
Comic production's very slow. I'm unfortunately busy as all hell. Image production has started at the least, so, there's that!
Thank you for your patience and continued support. It means a lot as usual. I mean it. Sorry this update is short... I don't have much to report on, haha. -
An Explanation
Hey, I know it's been a while. I know a lot of people have been waiting for the next comic the past year, and I really regret falling off in terms of communication regarding that. The script for the next comic is completely finished. Right now, it's in the phase of actually assembling the comic. However, I haven't been able to get to that for a long time. Even before I had a finalized script, I had a lot going on in my life.
I won't get too into it, because a lot of it is deeply personal, however the past nine months of my life have been an absolute hell. The long short of it is that a fallout between friends lead to harassment targeted not only towards me but specific friends of mine, and it has put me in a great deal of despair and desperation. While good things happened during this time, for the most part I was miserable. Outside of hyperfixating on Pizza Tower, and eventually finding my partner, nothing gave me joy. I was constantly paranoid about my friendships with people and I didn't know if any of them were genuine. Fortunately, I now know the answer to this is a mostly sound yes, that they were almost all genuine. I've been able to patch things up with past friends and help them move on and heal. However, I've also learned that they used to be a part of a group dedicated to circle-jerking me, lead by one of the people I've wronged in the past. This isn't the first time I've heard or known about a hate group against me, however it was the first time that I found out that one existed lead by someone I called a friend. Again, I don't want to name names, especially when everyone is trying to move on, but I want to emphasize how much this had messed me up and prevented me from working on anything long-term. I learned this circle-jerk has lasted five whole years, and because of that, it's explained why I've constantly felt paranoid for the past five as well. They were planning at some point to "expose" me, something I have had happen a few times in the past. The incident they were planning to talk about hinged on a complete miscommunication, something that, unfortunately, my autism contributed heavily to. I have been incredibly paranoid about my past actions as a child previously undiagnosed as autistic and unlearning many abusive behaviors catching up with me as an adult for the past five years, on top of wondering if people hated me or were upset with me. Learning this was both validating and heartbreaking. On one hand, my paranoia was not unfounded and I truly was right in the feeling that people were spreading things about me. I was vindicated in the sense that I was right when I noticed people becoming distant, talking to me differently, and treating me differently. However, I was heartbroken, because it meant all of that was true. People were mad with me, and didn't want to talk to me about it for both valid and invalid reasons. This is in part why I am publicly apologetic and remorseful for my past actions, private and public included. I want to make sure that no matter what, that people do not think I go out of my way to harm others intentionally.
This situation has, for the most part, been resolved. I have apologized to those who I have wronged, and those who have held a grudge on me have apologized to me as well for perpetuating my fears and paranoias. There is some other things happening relating to these events, but they are deeply private and personal. I can now continue in my life where, for the most part, I don't need to worry about my friends keeping things from me or hating me. Things are finally getting better. I can finally start to believe that people are being upfront and truthfully honest with me.
I say this every time, but I have always meant it: thank you for the support. Genuinely, it means a lot to me. It makes me happy that my silly comic about a hypothetical ship child between Sans and Toriel is liked and valued by people. I don't know when I will be able to completely work on this comic again, but please know that this isn't something I will forget about. There's stories I want to be able to tell someday with this comic and its characters.
Thank you. -
New Comic!!
Hi everyone! The new comic, Perspective, is up! If you noticed that the cropping of the comic was off when I first uploaded it, that's because I... forgot to crop the images correctly. I went back one-by-one to fix that. Hopefully it should be all good!
I've had this comic in production for roughly a year now, ahah... thankfully, it's out! I cannot wait to start production on the next one.
Hope you enjoy! -
Progress Report
Hey all! Today, I just finished writing the transcript for Preconception. A long time overdue, but it's here!! Yahoo!! Idealy, I'll work on the transcripts for the currently posted comics at least once a week. Though, I'm sure I may forget about that...
Also, I'm here to report there are 28 panels so far of the new comic. This means the comic is roughly a quarter of the way finished! Production is going along smoothly, although slowly. The goal is to have it out this month!
I also made a new reference for Marlette, specifically for Artfight. If you have an account, you can check it out here! Her design didn't change, but rather it's just updated to have my current art style and two views of her: front and side.
Thank you once again for your continued support!!
Edit 1: Just finished writing the transcript for Lonliness as well! Things are going well!!! -
An Update on Production
I've been meaning to post this for a while, but things on my end have been very, very busy. Though, you all deserve some amount of transparency. Be warned though, as this post is a little personal.
This past year, I was enrolled in college. This meant I had a lot less time to work on this comic, even down to the little things like adding the transcript for each page. On one hand, it meant I had a lot more time to develop ideas and think about how I want to write certain scenes. On the other hand, college work took up a LOT of my free time. This meant whatever free time I did have was short. My hyperfixation also switched from Eddsworld to Pizza Tower the beginning of this year, which means yet another thing my brain has to jumble with in my head. It's a smidge frustrating.
However, after I finished my first year of college, I was quickly informed that... I was academically dismissed. I was notified about it right after the year completed, when I thought I made it through the year. I've been very focused on trying to figure out my next steps for my future, now that I don't know if I'll even be returning to college at all anymore. College was a wonderful experience for me, but unfortunately, because I am autistic and diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and depression, it means my time management skills are very poorly developed. I never had to learn time management throughout elementary, middle and highschool. It's still something I struggle with, especially in regards to this comic. It's why updates are... very, very sparatic. It isn't because I don't care about this anymore. It's more because I sincerely do not know how to manage my time as an adult. It pains me a lot to say it, too, because it means it's interfering with my passions. However, I hope this gives you all some sort of understanding to what I have been up to and dealing with these past two years.
It is my passion-- no, my mission-- to finish Marlette. I have a lot of ideas and plans for her character, story, and everything. I deeply want to share it all when it's complete.
To show thank you for your patience with me and this series, I want to show you a preview of the next comic. It's nothing major, but, it's a little cute and I hope you like it.
