I've Been Replaying Ty 1 & 2 And Remembering That Some Of These Levels Absolutely Burned Into My Brain

God grant me the strength to do the things I enjoy

soft and cuddly things

I wanted to announce my upcoming original comic series, Wellwishers, and the two main characters of it -- Vincent and Witherspoon! 😼 The comic itself isn't ready yet, but I have steadily been working on it behind the scenes -- in fact, I've been working on this project for ten years! I don't want to share too many details yet, lest I wander into spoiler territory, but I wanted to begin to share some fun sneak peeks and to introduce the main characters. Vincent and Witherspoon become unlikely best friends and have adventures in their strange, magic-filled world!

I'll be posting updates on the progress of the comic as they come in my Discord server, Gremlin's Secret Forest (follow the link in the Linktree in my bio to join)! It is a fun, wholesome community geared towards Christian creatives and fans of my comics.

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

Sometimes sharing little joys can be a wonderful thing! If you'd like to see more of my comic, please consider supporting me by following 'Slices of Gremlin' on Webtoon! 🍨

The world is so big, and it struck me how spread out my cards have become among those I love! I hope you enjoyed this week's installment of 'Slices of Gremlin'! I am going to continue updating every Tuesday, and if you would like to support the comic and get early access, you can sign up to be a member of the 'Little Creature Club' on Ko-Fi!

"Wolpertinger Family Leporidae Volaticus ramusalis

Reddish hue, with grey-blue primary feathers and ruddy patches on its legs and back.

Native to the eastern European Alps, these creatures are shy and like small colonies in rocky burrows. Males - also known as "bucks" - grow antlers after the second year.

Young are born sightless and helpless underground, where they are raised by the colony until maturity; a matter of weeks. Females and young greatly resemble their closest relative, the Skvader (Volaticus suecia) while males seem akin to the Jackalope (Volaticus americanus) of the American Rocky Mountains. All Volaticus spp. seem to prefer altitude."

"Antlers: genus Volaticus V. ramusalis "Wolpertinger" V. americanus "Jackalope" V. miraji "Al-miraj" V. raspel "Rasselbuck" V. suecia "Skvader" "

Oh I love making up fake species profiles. Blame my proclivity for birding, I suppose. All of these are 'real' folklore rabbits from around the world. Credit for the Wolpertinger references goes to @meklarian's lovely desert cottontail photography, which was both the basis and inspiration for these!

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone
