This looks incredible!!! 🥰💕 I will forever be flattered, delighted, honored and touched that so many people found comfort and joy in my silly little spur-of-the-moment comic

And to have inspired folks to make art of their own from it?? I am over the moon!!

Thank you so much for this, I genuinely appreciate it 😊

Someone get this Endless a cupcake! An embroiderini to celebrate the birthday of ‘The Sandman’. Design/Artwork by the incredible @twottie-m8. Their Dreamling Birthday Comic is hilarious and sweet and adorable and I look at it at least once a day and it still makes me cackle. Go, read it, admire it, let it bring you joy.

YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I DID FERRET???

[twottie-m8]

IM WORKING ON THE COMIC!!!

I hope to post the next part within the week!!

[twottie-m8]

AHHHH the birthday comic update I love it so much! I am in dire anticipation of the gift tho lol

Huhuhu tysm 😊

I will admit, the next/last part is quite short compared to the latest one

I feel like the gift is a bit cheesy, but I think it's cute so it gets my own personal "ok👍" pass

Until then, we can all enjoy the mystery of the gift ^u^)/

Would yall be down for bonus comics of the birthday comic? I'll keep em all in the same tag, but it'll just be cutting down the actual birthday comic to just a couple more updates

So there'll be the main comic on the one stupidly long post, then a new post for like an epilogue/afterword, and maybe 1 or 2 bonus comics here and there

Hello! I’ve been trying to remember to send you a little message for weeks now, but I somehow keep forgetting. Today I went: now’s the time and I’m not doing anything else until I’m done! Anyhow, one of the main reasons I’ve been having such a hard time writing this, is that I’ve attempted to express my feelings for your art in words a couple times and they haven’t felt complete, somehow. 🤔 But now, I’ve decided this will have to be good enough!

About your Dream’s Birthday Party comic, my goodness, there is so much sweetness and loveliness poured into it. It was an absolute pleasure to read and wait for, and, although you say the ending was somewhat predictable, I was FLOORED when Dream pulled the engagement ring out. I felt like sobbing in a most positive way. 🥹💕 Everything about it was so funny and charming! The characterisation, Hob’s inherent sillines, the splash of colours from Delirium’s wrapping, the FERRET CUDDLING INTO DREAM, DREAM’S LITTLE “Oh!”, HOB CATCHING DREAM MIDAIR—IT’S GOOD, IT’S SOSOSO GOOD. 😭

I am, especially, madly in love with your Hob and Dream dynamic. It’s, hands down, one of my favourites. Dream constantly feels like a princess whose knight in shining armour has finally showed up and carried her to her castle with love and strength. He is… so soft and touch starved, I adore him and his expressions… And Hob. He looks so ridiculously whipped for this beautiful creature, he’d do anything for him, and he is so funny and sweet and silly about it. He’s marvellous and they’re adorable together. 😭😭🫶

This got long, I hope you don’t mind! But yeah, I love your dreamling art and hope to talk to you again. Have a fantastic day! 🖤

BRO???

I have never in my life imagined that a spur-of-the-moment comic could touch so many folks' hearts it brings me so much joy to see yall find comfort and entertainment in something I made for shits n giggles off-handedly.

Each detail I established in the comic came to be like this: what's the next part? -> sketch it out thinking of the bigger image -> oh we need to fill in details -> monkey brain says "haha what if we did this" -> then I go "what IF we did?? What is stopping us"

At least for the comic, I had imagined it taking place in a time where dream finds himself happy and content; his family is as made up as they could be, he's got his shit together and an immortal lover so devoted he waited 133 years unsure if dream was ever going to show up in his life again. This had definitely taken a part into how i characterized them for the comic! Think of it as a happy ending au or something lol

(^Although I say this, the setting of the comic can very much be open to interpretation! I would hate to spoil anyone's fun 😊)

My dreamling dynamic I think stems from the fact that I have not read the comics and so I don't really have a complete grasp of how they're supposed to be. Going off of what I've gotten from the show and the fandom, I kinda just went with whatever characterizations I liked. Although I'm typically someone who likes to enjoy consuming content/stories/franchises by starting at the very beginning source material, this has felt quite freeing to essentially just play around with these characters like they're barbie dolls.

I really do feel how far I've come as an artist and storyteller seeing the little kiddie fan I used to be in the people that squeal and cheer for each updated part and/or post, and that now IM the person that kid me would've looked up to online... it just hits a deep part of my heart haha

Thank you so much for the ask! It really means a lot to me 💕

[twottie-m8]

I have succumbed to illness once again..

[twottie-m8]

I am literally so emotional about the ending 😭 Thank you for the amazing birthday comic I had so much fun reading it!

ThBk youuuu heehee

Very good feels to just wake up n see all the love folks have for it 💕💕🥰💚💛💙💜💞💓💝💘

I assumr that the folks that were tagged would wanted to be tagged for the epilogue (psst secret time I have the lineart done for it but idk if it's better just as lineart or if I should color it) so I keep-a-da list 🤌

There's a liiiiiittle bit more stuffs to see with that and the couple of bonus comics but then I promise I'm done with the birthday comic I promise oki

I love you goodbye 👋

Update on the dreamling birthday comic?

I have not abandoned the birthday comic! I am instead taking a bit of a break from it since

1) I've gotten stubbornly ill, and everyday I think is the last, where I will finally wake up tomorrow all better I find I struggle through the night with coughing fits that leave my throat sore and i repeat my day like I'm stuck in a time loop.

I have gone to the doctor and have been prescribed medication, so it's only a matter of time until I get better 💪^u^)

2) I have so many ideas!! My mind runs faster than my hands can follow, and I just gotta scribble em down before I forget.

Here are some recent WIPS for comic ideas I've planned for the future:

3) if I will be honest, I am a bit stuck in the comic. When I first started it I already had a vision of how it would end, and we've almost made it! If i had to say where the comic is at this point, i think we've just hit the climax. I am however blanking a bit on the middle ground, or at the very least how to go about visualizing it.

I thought switching things up for a pace change (doodling other stuff) would help invigorate my need to draw the comic, and funny enough it's actually both worked and not!

I have gotten a more solid idea about how I want to go about things story-wise, but I still draw a blank on how to start drawing the next few pages lol

So to sum things up:

1, I'm sick. 2, I got a lot I wanna make. 3, I forgor the next part.

But worry not!! It shall continue in due time :)

[twottie-m8]

HOWWWWWWD I RELAPSE GETTING SICK A SECOND TIME

[twottie-m8]

Hello, hope you're having a good day! Can you please tag me in the dreamling birthday comic updates?

Can do!!

If anybody else would like to be tagged in future updates do let me know, i am happy to ^u^)/

[twottie-m8]

I just reread your birthday comic for the umpteenth time cause it makes me happy AND SOMEHOW I MISSED THAT HIS SASH SAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY PANEL

I almost died laughing, thank you for making my morning

Dhdhsdhs yeah I really just had fun with it

It's an honor to have made someone's "I seek this post out because I like it and it sparks joy in me" post, especially since I have a tendency to shy away from posting my own works and have recently been pumping out content again

I'm glad I made your morning, and I hope that the rest of your day goes well 💕
