any old designs of the characters still lying around?

HI sorry for the late response it's been kind of a hectic week haha.

I'm not really the type to make multiple designs for my OCs actually! The Power Pills have all stayed surprisingly consistent since their first drawings, which actually were all on a base.

So unfortunately I haven't been able to identify the maker of the base that the Power Pills were originally designed on, but this was the first art of them and their superhero costumes!! They really haven't changed much at all haha. Kristy is the most different one, I'd say.

The SUPERHERO costumes though....

Also just in case you were talking about the Escapist Fiction cast! Those were relatively unchanged as well! Aside from some outfit and color tweaks...

Again... the magical girl costumes though.

I really love this page

TOOK HER LONG ENOUGH.

AFTER ALL THIS TIME... ESCAPIST FICTION IS FINALLY, OFFICIALLY HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

READ NOW ON...

TUMBY -> @escapistfictioncomic | WEBTOON | Tapas | GlobalComix | Own Website! (WIP)

BONUS CONTENT (story description + a few silly character intros) UNDER THE CUT!

Escapist Fiction is a magical girl comic about a lonely college girl with severe social anxiety. To cope with her anxiety, she used the likenesses of a few of the people she saw around her college campus and turned them into her magical girl team in a self-insert manga! And this worked... until she accidentally brought the story to life.

Now these real-life people have been turned into their fictional counterparts, including having their memories unrelated to the story they've been shoved into erased. Tammy and co must now find a way to break the curse they're under while also making sure the monsters from Tammy's story don't take over the world.

I had to send myself anon hate to make this post and now every time I check my inbox I'm jumpscared by what I always think is a seriously angry message until I remember "oh yeah."

I've been trying to relearn how to draw for MYSELF so last night I drafted up some OCs I've had banging around in my head for AGES.

Keep an eye out btw. There's a reason why The Observer speaks in Tumblr asks :)

[bookfangeek]

I have such brainrot about power pills and it keeps coming back… I know that you said you were fine with fanfics but are you alright with me shipping Caleb and LB together (romantically only?) I’m ace and I project on them a lot… I have a couple ideas that I wanted to write out. The most they’ll be doing is holding hands.

I don’t know, I’ve always liked the bit where LB uses Caleb’s powers by touching him during the bank robbery. Theoretically they could have a private convo just by holding hands and reading each other’s minds?? So LB wouldn’t be caught by whoever’s preventing him from getting close to them⁉️ would you be okay with me writing this?

Hi!! I don't like to step on readers toes when it comes to ships, so I won't stop anyone from writing fanfic of any particular ship!

You're definitely free to write your idea! I'm always honored when people are inspired enough by my work to create something ;0; 💕

[bookfangeek]

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST ART I'VE DONE FOR A WEBCOMIC PAGE EVER!!!

.... uh... ohhhhhhh.......

Can the ship name between Kristy and Kate be art fight?

OH HAHA that's cute!!

My friend and I actually came up with a ship name for them back when I was in high school, but you, of course, are allowed to call ships between my characters whatever you like! Technically ship names are supposed to be made by the fans, after all!

The name I've been calling them is Krate with an optional (and Barrel) added after it haha.

[bookfangeek]

Could you please provide a list of each one of the power pills friends/ other important people from their part of the webcomic? i keep getting confused between each character friends….😭

:D

OC INFORMATION REQUESTED

Okay this is gonna be a long one strap in.

Also, have a little key for how important to the plot all the characters are

MAIN CHARACTER/VILLAIN | MAJOR PLAYER | MEDIUM PLAYER | MINOR PLAYER | JUST THERE TO GIVE A CHARACTER A FRIEND

TEAM SOUL SEER

CALEB BUDDE | SOUL SEER

The first member of the Power Pills. He's shy, awkward, and is somehow the unofficial leader of the Power Pills. Mostly everyone looks to him to make the final call on stuff because he's been around the longest.

GUY FOUST

Caleb's roommate and best friend. Went with Caleb during his first superhero mission and got physically shot while there.

KATE DHANANI

A friend of Guy's who eventually became a friend of Caleb's. She's the martial arts trainer for the Power Pills.

AVERY RODRIGUEZ

The first supervillain created by Future Tech. He's 16 years old and was given to Future Tech as an experiment by his parents in exchange for promotions.

TRAVIS BIRMAN

Guy's childhood friend and Merri's boyfriend. He's just the only friend character who doesn't know that his friend is a superhero.

TEAM WAX GUISE

DAN WIRSCH | WAX GUISE

The second member of the Power Pills. He's the literal embodiment of a theater kid. Despite his energetic and carefree attitude, he's one of the smartest members of the team.

JASON KENDI

Jason is Dan's roommate and the go-to costume designer for the Power Pills. He's a MASSIVE nerd and loves doing closet cosplay. He seems to have some kind of connection to Lightbringer.

LUCY CIPHER

The manager (and drum player) of Dan's band. She matches him in energy and personality.

NICO HYLAND

Lucy's fiancee and the keyboardist for Dan's band. He's the type to sit back and listen to Lucy's energetic ramblings for hours.

MAX ARMIJO

Dan's second roommate and lead guitarist for Dan's band. He's a more successful actor than Dan and does his best to help Dan get roles.

TEAM BULLETPROOF

MERRI BODKIN | BULLETPROOF

The third member of the Power Pills. She's a sweet-hearted individual with boundless optimism. She's the heart of the group. However a lot of her personality DOES come from the fact that she's a Catholic and her suppressed frustration tends to come out when she's fighting as Bulletproof in the form of a SUPER brutal fighting style.

AMBER LUPE

One of Merri's best friends. She is just as kind and sweet as Merri, but much less energetic.

PERCY VAN STONE

Merri's foil. She is energetic, she is bold, she loves everything Merri hates.

TEAM QUICKWIT

KRISTY EDA | QUICKWIT

The fourth member of the Power Pills and the resident "basically normal guy but with a bow" of the team. She's an independent artist trying to make it in the art world.

GEMMA VOSS

The sculptor to Kristy's painter. She has almost no shame and has no problems both speaking and acting her mind.

JAKE WESTLAKE

Probably also an artist of some kind but we haven't seen them do any sort of art so I'm not sure. They're relentlessly supportive of their friends.

TEAM STREAMLINE

Hahaaaa oh god sorry, Tate.

TATE PALMER | STREAMLINE

Tate is the fifth member of the Power Pills as well as the most energetic. She's a massive cosplayer and makes her living selling her work online.

TEAM THE WEB

(boy that one doesn't have a ring to it at ALL, does it)

SIBYL DEMIR | THE WEB

Sibyl is the sixth and newest member of the Power Pills. He's the resident scientist, studying biology. He's been through a lot, but once he settles into a network of supporting friends, he reveals that he is a a snarky, strong-willed man.

SEBASTIAN CROWL

A superpowered cult member who saved Sibyl and Caleb's lives when they were captured. He sacrificed himself to help the two of them escape. His status is unknown though he reassured Sibyl that the cult wouldn't kill him.

BENNY O'KEEFE

Benny is Sibyl's biology teacher and is the person who helped Sibyl through the darkest moment of his life.

VINNY RAMONE

Not seen onscreen, but he's Sibyl's ex.

JENNA BEGER

Sibyl's childhood friend who tried to trade away his life in order to join The Cult of Lacrima. Her status is also unknown.

TEAM ███████

MATT NOTTON

The recipient of the Pink Pill who needs to be put on a GODDAMN LEASH. The only pill candidate who decided to use their powers for selfish reasons.

DAMIEN BRIDGES

A man that Matt kidnapped in an attempt to learn how to control his powers. He's... god he's still there.

DALTON RENTFRO

Matt's teammate and a MASSIVE Matt hater.

OTHERS

????? | LIGHTBRINGER

The person who gives out the pills to the candidates. He's stoic but generally friendly.

??????

Only called "Scarecrow Lady" in comic so far, this is the woman who broke into Merri's dressing room in book 3 trying to kidnap her. Caleb erased her memory of their identities but she hinted that she had something "Way better" than her memories.

LONDON KURTZ

A mean girl who peeked in high school. She is obsessed with status.

PHYLLIS WORRALL

One of London's obligatory lackeys. The other of which, Lilith, apparently left London very recently for unknown reasons and has not been seen onscreen.

KRAVEN GREEVES

The owner of the martial arts dojo that the Power Pills train at. He knows what's going on with the superheroes, but he knows it's not his place to say anything.

And I reached the maximum number of images I can put on a post apparently so I have been hard capped here.

Btw if you want to see or ask more about my OCs you should check out @bookfanocs. I don't post much on there but you never know when I'll be inspired.

[bookfangeek]

I’ll say it, Matt may be my new favorite character out of Power Pills. He is so.. just… I wanna say cringe fail boyloser /affectionate, but that doesn’t quite do him justice. I hope you understand, he means a lot to me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! God I hope that this hasn't changed after Recent Events. This message was sent a month ago I'm so sorry for just letting it SIT here OTL

[bookfangeek]

You can’t see it, but I’m aggressively pointing at Matt, IS HE GOING TO REALLY HOLD A HOSTAGE?!

Haha. Oh boy. Yeah. "A" Hostage :DD

:DDDDDDDDD

:D

:)

Someone stop him I'm begging
