Antes de verlo y leer lo siguiente, asegúrate de que la calidad esté en 720p. 

Sé que no es el vídeo más elaborado del mundo y que te mereces algo mucho mejor, pero espero que al menos te haga sonreír tanto como a mí mientras lo hacía y lo veía una y otra vez en la pantalla de mi celular, únicamente pensando en ti. En lo hermosa que es tu risa. 

Ya que llegaste al final solo me queda repetirte, como por milésima vez, que te amo. Te amo infinitamente, Akri, y lo menciono en cada escrito, incluso en el último, porque es lo que pienso al leer tu nombre. Te amo como no tienes idea, más que muchísimo. Te amo, te amo, te amo, mi amor.  

Y un ‘gracias’ no es suficiente para corresponder todo lo que tú has hecho por mí en este año. Te pido de favor que lo sigas haciendo durante muchos años más, por favor, por favor. Yo sé que agradecido te estaré siempre. 

Con todo el amor de su corazón, 

Remy, Ziko, Bruno, Derek. Tu novio.

Told this story from one angle, came back in 4 months and retold it from another. (POVs Dex and Kudzu, respectively.)

Leif & Thorn characters made with this Picrew by @chereverie

A cute pastel roundup of some of the most shippable couples from Leif & Thorn.

(Plus Kale on a desert island. Won't someone come pick him up...?)

[leifandthorn]

Sketched out a batch of "relevant characters in upcoming Leif & Thorn storylines"! Mostly to help myself juggle the whole ensemble in my head. Then took a page from the Sailor Moon artbooks for the limited-palette coloring.

[leifandthorn]

Clip Studio Paint art-progress video of Hermosa and Dex having a fun day at the carnival. (Dex knows all the tricks these games use, and has plenty of counter-strategies to make sure they get Hermosa as many fancy prizes as possible.)

[leifandthorn]

Clip Studio Paint art-progress video of Hermosa and Dex having sexy couple time, from a Leif & Thorn supporter-exclusive wallpaper.

[leifandthorn]

More Leif & Thorn Volume 5 bonus art. We saw these characters separately, now here they are teamed up: Hermosa's shoulder faerie getting it on with Dex's shoulder imp, and Dexie's shoulder faerie cuddling with Hermosa's shoulder imp.

[leifandthorn]

In homage to the recent "Willy Wonka knockoff event with zero budget, a bot-generated script, and 3 jelly beans per kid" catastrophe...

Please enjoy this candy-themed lineup of Leif & Thorn secret agents.

[Image description: A map of the world that the webcomic Leif & Thorn takes place in. Around it are various characters and info boxes explaining naming conventions for various ethnic groups from the comic. 

Mainstream Ceannic names: Plant names + Spices Birch, Cedar, Delphinium, Hyacinth, Juniper, Magnolia, Rowan, Thorn, Violet, Amande, Carvi, Estragon, Fenouil, Lavande, Muscade, Persil, Romarin, Sureau

Kale: Ceannic pet names tend to be Gaelic, like Niamh here (“Nee-iv”). Just in case the French was too easy to pronounce.

Ceannic families of Sønheic descent tend to keep using distinctively Sønheic names: Nordic & sometimes Russian names

Alfhild, Katya, Patrik, Ralph, Tilda, Gagarr, Haetta, Magnusson, Ølsten, Rødlund

Alfhild: Some locals with Sønheic ancestry pick more mainstream-Ceannic names for themselves, or give those names to their kids! Those people are cowards. 

Given names most popular with Ceannic people of West Coast descent: Plant Oils. Angelica, Kokum, Marula, Olive, Ramtil

West Coast last names: Professions. Baker, Glazier, Harper, Sheaver, Thatcher

Given names most popular with Ceannic people of Eastern Continent (Feabhric) descent: Rose varieties. Blush Noisette, Cymbeline, Damask, Hermosa, Violette

Eastern Continent last names: Natural Features. Dubois, Dumas, Dupont, Laval, Merdhuile

Violet: Since I’m mixed-race, and my last name is real Feabhric, sometimes I get called “Violette” by people who figure I’d use the more Feabhric spelling.

Ceannic families of Islander descent also frequently stick with extra-Islander names: Latin, Greek, & Roman names Archarius (“Archie”), Dexippus (“Dex”), Pascentia (“Pas”), Argyros, Stavros, Zikos

Given names most popular with Ceannic people of Steppes (including Iuilic) descent: Fruits. Hazel(nut), Mulberry, Nance, Plum, Quince

Steppes diaspora surnames: Fruits but in Russian. Cherieshnya, Chesnok, Dinya, Grusadrevo, Malina

Hyacinth: Fruits would’ve been expensive in the desert, so I guess early immigrants figured they sounded fancy and exotic? And Iuilic nicknames are all cute animal stuff. Kitten, duckie, grasshopper, chickadee, honeybear . . .

Hedge: Stage names to sound “less Iuilic” were a big thing back in my day. Grassie called me “Nance,” but to everyone else, I was “Hedge.” End description.]

Promotional banner for the Leif & Thorn Volume 5 print campaign!

We're going live in October, this year. Follow the link and click the "Notify me on launch" button, to make sure you don't miss it.

This year's rainbow cast lineup includes Hermosa, Ragnild, Pascentia, Chartreuse, Kahu, and Valrún. (The servants in the vampire flashback are rainbow-themed, so I could've done a lineup with just them! But the book is a little more diverse than that would imply.)

[leifandthorn]

broke: "genderswap" means swapping only (cis) men with (cis) women woke: "genderswap" means swapping literally any gender with literally any other gender And on that note, I switched around a bunch of Leif & Thorn characters. (No special meaning to the AU gender choices, they're just whatever I felt like drawing at the time.)

[leifandthorn]

Leif & Thorn flashback: Hermosa and Dex, when they first moved in together, decorating the home. "Dexie, honey, how in the world is this not level?"

"It's tilted too far clockwise by half a degree. If you ever get spelltech eyes, you'll understand."

(Spoiler alert: these days Hermosa does have spelltech eyes, but he doesn't use the "superimposed visual grid" function as much as Dex does.)
