@capybonara is a phenomenal artist, a sharp wit, and just about the kindest person on the planet. She does so much to help people when they're feeling down or bullied, and deserves the warmest welcome everywhere she goes.

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙

If you can, send some kind words @capybonara 's way. She's been dealing with a lot of harassment and stress, and it's affecting her VERY badly.

She does her best to bring joy to others with her art and creativity, let's try and give some of that joy back. ❤️

I really like that the ads I keep getting for molly, ketamine, and lsd on insta are consistently filled with imagery that you Should Not look at while you're on any of those substances, especially if you ordered it off a random ad on Instagram. this one was subtly pulsating just a little bit. why

ABOUT THE COMIC

🐠 This is a completed Legend of Zelda fan comic that takes places after the events of the game Tears of the Kingdom, specifically after my main comic Shadow Out of Time (on hiatus). A Labour of Love focused on the good people of Zora's Domain and their struggles to coexist with other less-friendly Domains. The comic started as a romantic comedy and has since evolved into a sort of interactive political drama with romantic elements. It started at the beginning of May 2024 and finished near the end of November 2024!

🐟 Collaboration and interactivity were important features of the comic: fan OCs were regularly included, and major plot decisions have been influenced by readers.

🦀 During the Rescue chapter, I received rude messages which I addressed here. Here's a post on online etiquette I find very helpful, and another that I think is even better!

🦀🦀 I was later accused of intellectual property theft, which I take very seriously. Here's a more comprehensive post with a log, timelines evidence, etc. My friend and I were bullied online because of this, and as a result I decided to retire my blog and essentially leave the website after I had completed the comic.

🦀🦀🦀 Highlighting issues and drama is uncomfortable! But I believe being 100% transparent is the ethical thing to do. The point of the comic was for people to come together to work on something wonderful! So, exposing the ugly parts rather than hiding them is awkward, but necessary.

Epilogue: Seafaring Friends Elsewhere in Hyrule, others were returning to the status quo of their lives, with the exception of some small changes! Keiger comes across two new faces every so often when visiting Castov. The shy and reclusive Abnistes has found an unlikely friend in the large blind zora, and the fact he won’t die from his electrical abilities s a plus! After saving his life, Les also comes by to chat with Castov, and he doesn’t mind Abnistes company either, provided they keep a safe distance! Keiger, Castov and Les belong to werewolfsister Abnistes belongs to splendidcitrus-arts

Epilogue: A Healing Respite Sardon was familiar with the Hebra region from his previous explorations into Hyrule so he decided to make a stop at the Sturnida hot springs. Someone his size couldn’t fully submerge into the healing pools, but it was still relaxing. There were a few more places he wanted to visit before heading back. Even by exploring the wilds Sardon managed to collect a fair amount of items he thought – hoped – Sona would enjoy.
