I just saw your OJST comic about your wedding and I wanna say CONGRATULATIONS! Your comics have been really comforting reassuring and validating for myself over the years as I try and figure out more about myself and my gender and sexuality. I wish you and your spouse years of joy and light! Thank you 💖

Thank you so much for reading! And I'll still be working on and posting comics over on my Patreon and Topaz Comics weekly!

It's really bittersweet ending something so big, because people like you tell me how much it means to them. You're not alone!

I've got lots more autobio stories in me, but similar to when I completed Gender Slices, I'm excited to try getting back into fiction again! And of course, it'll all be queer stuff!

Hey, not sure if this is just a problem with my phone or something, but I can't access the Eggshell comic site

the eggshells website is down currently! and there’s currently no plans for it to be brought back yet as I’m busy updating FFAK/NRD. the first two chapters are available on https://kosmic.itch.io/ for download, however. 

Hey, local shy bish here. I wanted to say I love your final thesis (and can relate to ALL OF IT from my gym experience), and that your work is hella inspiring as I'm about to finish my Digital Art BFA. I've followed you for a while...but am shy..

Thank you so much for all the kind words!!! it makes me so happy that someone enjoys my work, it really motivates me! and dont worry about being shy, I may seem kinda extroverted but i am an absolute introvert irl with people I dont know so i can definitely relate ^^’

What's ZNT ???

Yo! Someone actually asked me this last night, too, so I’m gonna tweak that nice long answer for you here if you don’t mind aha:

OKAY YES so Zankyou no Terror / Terror in Resonance is this really fabulous anime I just finished and am now binge-blogging through the tags of haha

It’s a really concise and compact series (only 11 episodes) made in 2014 by the director/composer duo from Cowboy Bebop, so it’s really well done and has and a beautiful soundtrack

I keep on trying to think of a good way to describe it, though, because the way it was described to me-- “it’s… about two domestic terrorists, but? I think you’ll like it!”-- is… I mean I guess it’s accurate but made me think it was going to be very different from what it actually is

The main characters Nine and Twelve are two teenage boys who do blow stuff up, but they are careful to clear the buildings beforehand and deactivate their bombs when the police solve their riddles in time. They’re not trying to kill people (in fact, they’re trying not to kill people, but the real reason they’re doing this, then, is one of the things you’re trying to find out alongside the police)

Other major characters include Lisa, a girl from their school who sees them mid-set-up of a bombing and ends up becoming an “accomplice”, police detective Shibazaki, who has a knack for putting together their Greek mythology-coded clues, and Five, who appears halfway through the series knowing exactly who the masked Sphinx 1 and 2 from the now-viral videos are and how to upset their carefully constructed plans

So yes there’s domestic terrorism, I guess, but that’s not what the show is about and it never feels gritty and bleak. It’s about uncovering the truth and trying to make yourself heard in a world that doesn’t want to listen, it’s about starting over and starting better, it’s about hope

There are tons of plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat, great character interactions, and a lot of emotions for a show this short

It gives me some Gundam 00 vibes, some Death Note vibes, then some different Gundam 00 vibes (although, again, this show isn’t as dark as that might make you think, haha- there is no high death count and it doesn’t get very political) but is entirely its own thing and it’s really great and memorable and I would highly recommend it!!

Your art work is incredible

thank you very much

Do you have any other blogs: i-own-too-many-notebooks.tumblr.com, where I reblog writing tips and motivational stuff. I also have a blog for more raunchy material but that’s not important.

Do you do asks: I wouldn’t mind it, but I’m probably not interesting enough to warrant any asks. I need to throw some quality content out there first.

Happy Birthday !!!!

Ahhhhh thank you so much!!! It was actually last Thursday (the 10th) but things have been so busy for the past few days for me that I haven’t been back on tumblr to catch up with my messages until now!

BUT I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO LET THE BDAY CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE VIA NEW MESSAGES HECK YES

What do you recommend for someone who wants to use markers/ink as a medium but is unexperinced and on a budget? (tfw you're high-key inspired during inktober)

i wouldn’t really recommend markers for a tight budget! copics run from anywhere between $5-8 a piece nowadays and other brands just aren’t as good.

i’d suggest getting a small travel watercolor set and experimenting with that. i have owned this one for several years and it’s alright! doesn’t have all the colors, but it’s compact and fun to use and it won’t break the bank.

Yo, but what if the language used in Homeworld is similar to Russian? What if Homeworld is SPACE RUSSIA

I know right?! SPACE RUSSIAN OVERLORDS!

WE DRINKIN' PLOT JUICE TONIGHT

Thanks for answering. I guess the world inside a heart? And the hearts being the eyes ??? (I thiiiink) And Antony being a heart, now post eating ??? Like I have a vague understanding that they're important, powerful, certain worm species have more than 1, aaaannnd they're the utensils???? maybe??? I'm not really sure, but I probably need to like re-read the comic (college took up too much of my mental capacity for comic facts).

OKAY THis kind of gives me something more to go off of.

1) Mandragora hearts have something called “Heart Worlds” which, kinda branches into a lot of spoilery territory– but I can try to simply describe them as like..  Worlds that the Mandragora controls w/ their heart*. Its part of their incredible hypnosis/illusion powers that actually plays w/ the concept of what reality is, as ppl can actually get sucked into these worlds and explore them as real, physical places. (In a way, some of these ideas are borrowed/explored in a different way with my other comic, Eggshells.) So, Heart Worlds play a pretty big part in a lot of FFAK plots and i’d prefer to write ‘em in more detail in the actual comic.2) What happened to Antony is also.. not fully explained/detailed yet, but as we can surmise a little- He is now a Mandragora Heart, so he is now a Mandragora! So he was eaten by Canary, but instead of dying, took over Canary’s mind and now controls the body, except he is experiencing some memory issues. These problems are somewhat common if a Mandragora experiences a traumatizing event w/ getting eaten or transferring to a new body. It is a little like what happened to Crimson when she got eaten by a hydragora queen worm, in a way. (Except with very big differences since.. Antony was a human turning into a Mandragora, and Crimson was actually a Mandragora all along.) but crimson also experienced a sort of similiar ‘disconnect/amnesia’ w/ her heart after being eaten by a queen worm. This is why she believed she was born a human and was eaten by a worm, and is very startled by the conversation she has with her heart in early ch11. 3) *Mandragora hearts are basically also their minds, and physically resemble eyeballs and are usually stored in eye sockets. SO MANY THINGS AT ONCE. 4) Mandragora worms are generally born with 2 hearts. Crimson is not typical b/c she was born with 3, but the third heart was very small and almost not noticeable. Hydragora worms do not function like mandragora so this whole worm heart thing is not really applicable to them, they use Anchors instead. (Hydragora worms also do NOT have heart worlds, cannot parasite and take over other bodies and use em as hosts, ect.) 5) Mandragora hearts can be molded and changed into various objects and functions/uses. They are a very versatile source of power! This is a pretty intricate topic all on its own, but the red Spoon/Knife AND the Fork are all originally made from Mandragora hearts, thus are ‘living’ weapons. The Spoon/Knife were made from both of Crimson’s hearts that were taken by Good Leadman. The Fork is.. something else :)6) When a Mandragora heart is in this ‘dead’/inactive state (easy to be molded into something else) they are called Kosmic Stones. There are also Kosmic Stones that are not made from genuine Mandragora hearts and are basically artificial/man made or partial reproduction of mandragoras. All Kings bracelets (the things Canary wears on his wrists/ankles) have a kosmic stone in them, but keep in mind not all of these stones are real mandragora hearts. Kings Bracelets serve a lot of specific functions in the story and theres lots of fun stuff to learn abt them too eventually. But We will have to save that for later too. A lot of the worldbuilding-y things with mandragora hearts sort of bleed (haha, get it) into eachother and theres a lot of like.. very fantasy sort of logic that goes with it, so it can be a little difficult to adjust to the logic esp when we havent got the whole picture on them. So like.. dont stress not grasping it all at once, since it makes sense better once u see the bigger picture and where all this stuff actually came from.Hope that helps a little anyway!

I actually forgot for a sec that worms obey Canary. Like I feel for you, Jacket, I'd be sad too.

Well, Queens don’t obey at least. They just murder.Jacket, however, is quite heartbroken!!!!!!! :(
