My Tumblr dash did a thing with your Lies Within post and now I can't unsee it

BWAHAHAHA this is amazing. this is perfect. omg

A little Rana and Soronette from @delphina2k's Sombulus! 🌻💚

Asking on behalf of Sydney: What does she fear about the road ahead of her and what she might experience returning to her old life? Two numbers: 3 and 15!

Oh!! What an honour to get to do a reading for Sydney!

Sydney is one of the protagonists from the awesome webcomic Sombulus, and her journey in it has been a tremendous one of hard-earned growth! As you probably guessed, I shuffled the deck and counted using the two numbers provided to pick the cards. Knowing the trajectory of Sydney's story to date, the resulting combination gave me a good chuckle.

#3 turned up The Man, and #15 was The House.

The Man is a special card in Lenormand. Like its counterpart The Woman, it always represents the most important person of that gender to the question being asked. This is either the querent themselves, or someone who has a big role in the situation. The House is a card often associated with things you think of when you think of "home" - like stability, comfort, and people you consider family.

In this basic spread, what we're looking for is a relationship between the two cards. My immediate thought was Sydney's relationship with Astyr. I am trying not to spoil Sombulus!! but Sydney meeting Astyr kickstarted a whole bunch of things that really shook her worldview, and their relationship evolved a great deal over the course of the series. They've just come to/passed a major juncture. They're both going separate ways big time but at the same time are probably closer than they've ever been… Fears for the road ahead - I'm sure Sydney's worried about Astyr a great deal in so many ways. What might Sydney experience returning to her old life - well, the changes to her outlook as a result of her meeting Astyr have definitely made it a challenge to just slide back into the world she used to fit in. I imagine it's hard to look at anything the same way anymore, to take anything for granted, not with what she knows and what she can do now.

This is a tool for reflection, so that's just one relatively high level interpretation. We can find patterns and make connections in a lot of ways. Also Delphina Probably Knows Things!!! that a mere mortal fan like myself cannot even begin to speculate! If we assume the Man doesn't represent Astyr, who else might we imagine it to be…? If the House is not specifying "family", what other things associated with home might it conjure up…? Real estate? Domestic matters? You can also read it more literally if you want. Maybe what lies in store in the future is that Astyr is gonna find a roomba and help Sydney clean house!! (Maybe "clean house" is more figurative than literal. I have confidence Super Cool Butt-Kicking Times lie in their future.)

I hope that offered some interesting thoughts, or at the very least amusement!

(Note: these readings are being done with my old card deck from the original printing. There's not much difference with the new edition available in the link above - the biggest one is that the new edition has a custom box ooh ahh!)

Nashua C2!

the first several times I read that as "C5" and thought, "that's just his normal Inner Nashua face anymore."

Something like this one will probably end up in a future comic chapter, though... >.>

☕️ + gummy candies

Gummy candies are Good and Fun! I actually don’t eat them a lot, but I always accept one when offered. A worm, a bear, whatever form is always good for some weird squishy food!

One time, at the State Fair, I bought a deep-fried gummy bear. It was an oversized bear, I guess so it would be easier to put on the stick and justify the price, and let me tell you: I���m not so sure the battering and frying goes well with the gummy bear. NEVERTHELESS I enjoyed weird fair food and I enjoy a gummy candy!

Chaarose 19!

19: What boosts your OC’s confidence the most?

i feel like once again the answer is compliments. but i think that's the case for most people. besides compliments from her superiors, or a "you've met expectations" from her mother, i think just spending time with her gal pal (gf) vi will boost her confidence for at least a while. having someone you can just be yourself and relaxed with would really lift her spirits. chaar would tell some really just.... below average, completely overplayed joke, and vi would laugh and chaar would be like "my whole existence is validated"

It’s day one of TCAF! Go visit @delphina2k, @varethane, and @studiocartridge in the salon on the second floor!

I’m not tabling this year, but I am on coffee and errand duty. If you see a lady in red cat-eye glasses and red racing stripe leggings, say hi before I zip away! 💨

OC outfit design swap challenge I did with friends! Jas belongs to @libraryofscars Yanell belongs to @delphina2k

It's just a silly sketch and I will most likely clean it up and colour it in the near future, but I wanted to draw my boi Dakon admiring Argus from Sombulus; a white haired, blue-eyed bird man with a scar that makes Dakon wish he was as tall as him 😭❤️ @delphina2k

My Tumblr dash did a thing with your toothy pin!

Gifts for lovely webcomics friends! Ink and watercolour portraits on handmade paper featuring a quartet of awesome heroines from four diverse, wildly-imaginative stories. Each webcomic has such a distinct and memorable aesthetic; it was so fun trying to render each of these characters in my own style. I hope I managed to capture a little of their essence!

My shark friend stickers from @delphina2k arrived! Kamala knows which one was for her.

I did a SnowCollab for the holidays with some of my friends! I sketched the Snowzilla, inked the Sleetles drummer by @delphina2k, and colored the fox scene sketched by Ciry and inked by @abocode! It was a super fun way to get into the holiday spirit and try some new things :)
