Ease off chapt 5, the ending made me cry btw /pos

Just as intended ☺️ thank u!!!! 💜

Please everyone witness my shame @ loving a fic, being inspired by it, giving it a shout out, and then immediately forgetting a key endearing point of it 💀💀💀💀🪦🥀 (and read A Bit Of Earth & also Emica’s fic while you’re at it 😌💦)

emica it’s killing me and I have to ask, what do you mean by klastos?? 😂 I don’t know enough Greek to understand omg I’m a fake fan

Hello Mag!!! 💕 nooo omg not at all aldkfjsjakdh iirc Klastos was the name Zagreus gave his plant in @elemmacil’s fic so when I saw the plant in Ease Off I was all like OMG IT’S KLASTOS ;3; That was a cute cameo btw! I love that we’re all being inspired by one another, legends referencing other legends behavior <3 HGCU (Hadesgame cinematic universe) uwu

For reference, here’s the relevant passage from Ch 1 of A Bit Of Earth (which everyone should go read because it’s lovely):

Hi, your hades comic is incredible, can't imagine how long it took to finish, thanks for your hard work💛

Thank you so much!! I can definitively say it's been ongoing since May 2021 😅 I'm afraid to do the math on that

And it's not done yet...! There's an epilogue incoming to smooth out the exit, so it doesn't feel like we're emotionally dropped off a cliff, haha! Chapter 1 was the shortest chapter at 26 pages, so if this comic closes out on an even shorter chapter, I will be elated.

Thanks so much for reading 🥺💜 I'm so happy to hear that ppl are still tuning in after all this time!!

oh god now theres so many fruity thanatos posts. im sorry everyone, thank you, mystery powers that be, that unflagged all of them, including the first one ? ?

does anyone even know how these filters work now lmfao

[magusculpa]

I will unfortunately not be able to preorder as the international shipping is a bit too high for me to afford. However, I have purchased the pdfs and just loving your work!

At the same time, I'd like to also let you know I giggled every time I see your preorder reminder posts and the amount of emojis covering almost everything on them.

Thank you so much!!! I figured that would be the case for a lot of people 😭 Curse this book for being so big and thick and heavy...

also thank you hahahha i was acutely aware of the risk of becoming very annoying with endless ads, so at the very least im glad that there was some net positive to make up for it 😂 Thank you for telling me & the kind words and the support!! !!

[magusculpa]

Happy to let you know how much I enjoyed it! I especially thought the chapter opening illustrations to let the reader know where in the game's story that particular chapter was taking place was brilliant.

"Curse this book for being so big and thick and heavy..."

*squints* Yes. One would even call it ... girthy 😜

Thank you!! The decision came out of the desperation of needing to cover a lot of time without adding any more pages because as u mentioned it's endowed well enough already 😂 No need to inflate its ego anymore haha-- thank you again!!

[magusculpa]

Read thru all of "Free time"

Which, first off, is so pretty and detailed!

Second, I really appreciate you not forgetting Meg in the dynamic. I love ThanZag but Meg is so important.

Third, the Barbie doll censoring was hilarious!

Thank you so much!! And i'm so happy to hear that, she's so important, she's there too!!! I had wanted to a full comic really getting into her as well, but as it is rn, I don't know if I'll have the time or energy like I could have a few years ago 😭 But at least she's probably in like 75% of all the comics Ive made

(Also I forgot about the barbie doll censoring lmfao glad it was fun!!)

[magusculpa]

i LOVE ease off! thanks so much for making such a great comic, its going to stay in my brain forever hehehe

Thank you so much!!!! I'm so happy to hear that, from my brain to yours hahaha 💜

[magusculpa]

Ok so. How Achilles and Pat still have to overcome this long separation and how it went down? How Than is coming in like the cavalry? The baffled faces of him and Achilles? And the last page??? What a beautiful finale ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹

Congratulations for finishing Ease Off! Time flew by but omg it must have been SO MUCH WORK over the years! I love the story and the way you write the characters, the art is amazing, and what I like especially are the backgrounds of all things lol. The way you show the in-game rooms from a different perspective is so unique and interesting.

Thank you so much Mag ❤️ it always seemed like you would post a new chapter when I had a hard time in real life, and I'm so grateful I could immerse myself in your story. I feel awkward in English so I stop now xD if there will be a physical copy, I'll insta buy it.

This has totally made my week, thank you so much 🥺🙏💜 I’m so happy to hear that the timing always worked out somehow!! I’ve recently experienced it with other people’s works and it makes me so happy to hear I can give that bit of comfort back too 💜

It feels like it’s taken forever and no time at all 😂 I’m working on getting that physical copy ready—this is probably the most challenging part yet, but I’m determined to do it!! It’ll be so cool 😤

thank you so much again for your kind messages over the years, really means a lot 💜

[magusculpa]

The composition in your comics is AMAZING. Your backgrounds are always so interesting and varied and so many angles!! I’m always so impressed

WAH thank you so much!!! I love a good background, they can really tell a story!! Thanks so much and thank you so much for reading 😭😭

[magusculpa]

I LOVE your "Ease Off" comic so much! Also, after having read every chapter, I'm currently vibrating in place in anticipation of more to come. But I also wanted to say that I love the way you set the scenes each time. The rooms/sections you added to Hades' court are great, from Achilles' room to Megs, the washing area and the baths (although I know those exist in Tartarus' already). Thx to your additions, Hades' court just feels more alive, like an actual palacet he characters interact each other with naturally, instead of just an area to leave quickly again for gameplay's sake.

Btw. is that a portray of himself above Achilles' bed and is he trying to cover it, or is that a random Achean/Myrmidon up there? (Did Hades give him a room "decorated for Achilles" and Achilles was like: "Ugh... being faced with myself at all times... great.") Btw. my heart is breaking from Achilles interacting with "Patroclus' ghost" and speaking to himself (w/o noticing he can be heard?). Heartstrings being pulled so hard in this whole comic! I also love the mirrored relationship issues Zagreus and Achilles have with Thanatos and Patroclus respectively. *running out of things to say* Love it! Thx for creating and sharing this!

Omg 😭😭 thank you so much!! This has made my day, I’m still surprised that anyone is reading it and I appreciate it so much 🥺 I’m glad to hear your heartstrings are being tugged, that’s one of my favorite feelings in stories 🙏

Re: that mural over Achilles’ bed… I had based the drawing off of some image of Achilles (probably off an amphora or something…) bc I had thought the imagery of this very huge venerable depiction of him would be a bit torturous to face 😅 honestly I still haven’t decided if Lord Hades would think that giving Achilles a huge room with a shrine to himself is a compliment to Achilles… but Hades does have own face all over the walls so 😅😅 it might track. My mural research aka Google searches were very cursory bc it would have taken too long to adorn the room like I would have if I had all the time in the world… but it’s enough to get the feel!!! Thank you for looking so closely, and for your very kind words, I’m so happy you found the comic and are enjoying reading 🙏🙏💜💜 two more chapters to go!!!

[magusculpa]

i love trying to post 20+ pages onto the internet!!!!!!!!!!! it’s loads of fun and very intuitive!!!!!!!!!

[magusculpa]

Very love your art. Wasn't thinking i'd be so into Hades stuff. But heck, was wrong. Will be patiently waiting for next works you do! <3

Ahhhh thank u so much!!! That makes me so happy to hear. And same 🤝 didn’t think I’d be here 2-3 years later… I know I have one more comic queued up after EO and I would like to do more bc I have endless ideas but… we’ll see how I’m feeling round next year 😅
