layherzen au backstory (details subject to change)

pretty much the whole backstory of folsense is rewritten. the town came under attack by vampires (vampires are real in this au), and a great number of people died as a result. some were killed by the vampires themselves, others after being turned

sophia was attacked by a vampire, and while anton was close enough to hear her screams and rush over to try to help, he was too late to save her from dying. he tried to attack the vampire and ended up getting bitten pretty badly, so much so that the other people who tried to help worried that he would die. he barely managed to hang on by a thread

knowing that he would likely be murdered on sight if he were to leave the castle, he stayed safe at home and simply watched as the town quickly became smaller and smaller, either from people dying or from people fleeing. eventually, any vampires who didn't chase the townsfolk down moved on, leaving him alone

most of the events of pb remains the same until luke and hersh meet anton for the first time. he doesn't hide the fact that he's a vampire; both of them at one point notice his fangs. because vampires are real in this au, it doesn't come as that unbelievable to hershel, and he grows wary of anton's intentions behind letting them stay the night

things continue canon compliantly until right before the fight scene due to the obvious: katia isn't there. this of course means that the fight is not prompted, so anton instead simply continues his scare act, threatening one last time to kill and eat them both. hershel starts protecting luke, saying that he wont let anton hurt him, which takes the vampire by surprise. hes never had someone refuse to leave before. not to mention there's something about hershel's determination that anton finds respectable at the very least. still, he keeps up the act and leaves for a moment, giving them one last chance to flee, although part of him knows they are not going to take it

while hershel does still wish to figure out the truth behind the elysian box, there's also something about anton that he cant help but feel drawn towards. on one hand, he's definitely afraid of him; the man kidnapped him (poorly, but still) and threatened to kill him and luke! even if he was bluffing, his attempts to frighten them both still worked. on the other hand, hershel cannot help but want to know more about the man, and he cannot figure out why. perhaps it was simply his connection to the elysian box. perhaps it was the mystery surrounding his being a vampire. or perhaps it was more personal than that. after all, even from first seeing him, hershel had thought he was quite pretty, something which his voice and demeanour only added onto. and though it scared him, waking up tied up with anton leaning over him calling him "feisty", seeming more than ready to sink his fangs into him... but that cant be right, can it? if all this means what he thinks it means, surely those would have been aspects of himself he would have discovered by now. he's nearly fourty, for crying out loud, and never in his life had he felt this way that quickly, nor towards another man, nor in that kind of context! there must be something weird going on that hes just not fully aware of yet

and to say anton wasnt feeling confliction of his own would be to lie. part of him still wants to drive the two away as he had done to countless other trespassers, and yet there was something special about hershel. the man was determined, brave, protective; he didnt run away or try to fight when anton revealed he was a vampire, even maintaining his politeness; and admittedly, the loneliness had been taking its tole on him for quite some time. decades, in fact. he wants to believe that was the only reason why an ever growing side of him wishes to keep hershel around, but something in the back of his mind practically demanded that there were other factors at play here, that he isn't just desperate and instead actually admires hershel at least a little

it is at around this point that id want the front-story to begin if i were to ever turn this into something. my ideas for the general themes are as follows:

the beginning includes a lot of self discovery, mainly on hershels end. hes realising shit about himself that he feels like he should have figured out years ago and, if anything, is a bit ashamed of, especially once anton bites and turns him out of desperation to get him to stay

luke wants to help hershel, but he practically demands he leave just in case. luke eventually complies and rushes out of the castle. he goes to find chelmey and tell him what happened. idk what id do with that but it is a conflict that exists

yeah this part is basically just a rewrite of that one fic i wrote

while hershel and anton stick together, things go from awkward to normal and great and awesome to... "codependent in a spicy way" is the most appropriate way i can put it. its very much a thing where if youre uncomfortable with the very specific elements of their fucked up relationship youre not gonna like what i have to say about them. thats part of where my hesitance lies. i wont go into detail, you get the hint (i hope...)

its a fairly slow burn tho, so slowly in fact that neither of them realise how bad things are getting even when theyre in the thick of it. gives me the chance to play around more with unreliable narration

chances are, this is just going to be an au that i keep rotating in my brain instead of sculpting into something for others to enjoy, but i wanted to get my thoughts down in case it was interesting to people. itll definitely be more mature than what i usually make, but part of me does want to write a longfic. whatever i decide to do will depend on future me's comfort levels

[piierrote]

i think this summer im going to do a lot of very cool and creative projects that will include revamping my store and perhaps looking into starting a webcomic (or at very least planning one!!!!) and im so excited!! im so excited to be creative and have fun !!

[t4tails]

Do you think you'd liveblog other webcomics after LO ? These liveblogs are very fun and there's webcomics like The Glass Scientists that would probably make for a similar ...experience lmao

sure! id like to focus on batman after im done with lore (should be today) but if any of yall know bad webtoons feel free to tell me and ill think about it. preferably theyre popular (like, enough to maybe be published physically like lore is) and at least close to being finished. i was thinking maybe heartstopper or boyfriends but idk how long those are

[zurrr]

@nopecontest says no one uses this place to blog anymore, only reblog, so ill post some thoughts here and call it "blogging".

the internet is getting stupider and as i approach my 30s i find myself thinking more frequently about mid 2000s internet and all the dumb things i was interested in. ytmnd. different internet forums dedicated to sonic, ed edd n eddy, and the powerpuff girls. the friends i lost contact with from those forums. avgn when he was in his 20s and just starting out. wanting to make ytps thinking that was my calling at the time. newgrounds. albinoblacksheep. getting banned from deviantart multiple times because i was under 13. none of this is present anymore and will never be present again and thats bleak to think about on a regular basis. kids on the internet today will never experience online memories like this.

im more accepting of working my same retail job forever than i ever was, as the benefits are all i think about and how things could be worse. it used to be a big anxiety of mine, trying to think about how i could break away from retail and never go back to it, but honestly there is nothing else especially when i have no skills or education (if that even matters anymore) but like at the same time i dont care as much anymore. i make enough to get by. i could buy a thing i dont need and still be able to buy things i do need. im in a good position and have things others dont and theres no reason to fret over it anymore.

ive been figuring out my identity lately. i slowly came to the realization that i do not like wearing feminine clothes or presenting solely as female. ive struggled with body dysmorphia since, i wanna say before age 8 idk anymore, and ive always associated this was having an eating disorder, which im not gonna deny that i have. i often calorie restrict, and sometimes i dont realize that im doing this because im occupying myself so much that im not thinking about taking care of myself. this will be an ever-present thing about myself, but im learning that i can combat this by changing my wardrobe. i feel more confident when im not settling for wearing a dress or putting on make up cuz i feel like i "have to", and instead choosing clothes that are actually comfortable and not form fitting. ive been trying to explore this more, still a ways to go maybe, but mentally it's been comforting to consider and ill say here i go by she/they pronouns. it used to be she/her with no hesitation but thats not me anymore.

ive been watching one piece since last year and it's been interesting. this is one of those series that i never thought about watching, mostly because i didnt really grow up watching anime religiously and this is one i knew existed but i didnt think it was something i needed to touch when i just watched western shows. one piece is good. another thing that is good is dragon ball z, another series i didnt think id ever touch. i think both changed me for the better cuz it broadened my horizons and it feels like i made new friends. not in fandoms, i mean characters. im friends with characters. puar dragon ball is my friend.

to those who have been following me forever but only on tumblr specifically, im still drawing the same ocs. theyve gotten more complex, meaning they are much sadder and burdened with insecurities that i know too well. NEVERMIND is the only thing im gonna do forever cuz it's gonna take me a long time to get anywhere with it and i dont have enough time in a day to do it all, but thats ok to have only one creative focus. NVM is therapy and i dont need another project. you can read my webcomic here but it's on hiatus until next year. it is also apart of spiderforest which is a webcomic collective, maybe check out other comics on SF too while youre at it and support webcomic creators.

im gonna be grieving about panda (the cat i used to post about here) forever and thats ok too. she passed away 2 years ago in november and i think about her every day. i dont get as emotional about it anymore though. i maybe could if i focused hard enough on it, but i dont have to do that because i have a another cat now who is named bean. she's 4 and is so fuckin silly (and smelly) and i love her a lot. more rambunctious than im used to, but the memories i and @nopecontest have begun building with her have been well worth it. here she is playing mario sunshine

[allidopas]

saw a vid dunking on that boyfriends webtoon again and god the comment section was atrocious. at what point is ironic homophobia just literal homophobia?

"I'm a gay man but this comic makes me understand why people call us slurs" type of shit like hello?

"the author is a creepy fujoshi who fetishizes gay men" the author is a gay trans man. Not that a gay person can't fetishize gay peope, but maybe take a step back and reevaluate that line of thought? cuz you're siding with these dudes:

"ummm but the author drew RPF nsfw!" unless they're aggressively advertising this RPF nsfw then just let people have their kinks man. its not like BTS will see it. are you not allowed to have the hots for real people?

frankly i'm iffy on RPF but this feels like a really puritan-y reason to hate someone's comic.

and literally all the relationships in the webcomic are consensual and healthy. what about this warrants homophobia let alone transphobia

"it's still really cringe" yeah i'm sure that's what the schoolyard bully thought of the weak little nerds he beat up for lunch money. i thought this was the "be cringe be free" website?

"it's just a joke!! it's not that deep!!" kind of hard to seperate the true ironic jokesters from the real homophobic people ill be real with you chief.

idk. it's so disheartening to see, i guess. especially knowing that those Cringe Ads, which were one of the big reasons the creator was dogpiled, weren't even approved by the author. idk why i decided to talk about this it's just terrible i guess

[kindred-spirit-93]

Sup, it's me Anon

I actually did have an idea for a webcomic way back. Imagine Hera leaving Zeus with just a suitcase and her loyal attendant Iris, navigating modern Greece and self-reflecting on her life, while Zeus plots to win her back.

This concept draws inspiration from Pausanias's Descriptions of Greece, where Hera crashes the wedding of Zeus to a wooden cult statue of. I envision Hera as a blunt Dorothy-like figure (Golden Girls vibe, with Wendie Malick's voice).

As a young ambitious goddess, Hera declared herself goddess of the starts and the galaxy, experimenting with primal forces—mashing matter under its own weight or flinging it into the heavens.

Despite her formidability, she won Zeus' heart (they had a secret affair, hidden from Rhea while he was still married to Leto) Hera was thrilled to become Queen of the gods but grew disillusioned when Zeus deemed her interest in primordial laws "unfit for a queen." He reassigned her domain to domestic bonds, making her the Goddess of Marriage.

Hera tried to conform but struggled with Zeus' infidelity, which brought her deep embarrassment. Feeling unable to embody her assigned role and domain, Hera dealt with her issues with Zeus' mortal lovers and demigod children by revisiting her old passions, by making constellations (if you know how most constellations are made in mythology you'll get it).

In recent years, Hera has seemingly calmed down, growing apathetic towards the mortals (with whom she always had a complicated reputation). She now believes the rest of the gods should follow suit.

I imagine her reflecting on a lot of thinks, Her foster mother Thetys and her relationship with her actual mother Rhea and her relationship with her husband and sons. (Hera being the favourite child of Chronos will also be very important) She has a salad with Apollo, Aphrodite is her loud daughter in law. She lives with her sister Demeter for a bit (I imagine her to be quite free and open with her sexuality)

I imagine that some gods choose not to have a human form, Zeus gave up and just floats around as a sentient cloud. Mainly because I find the concept of a human looking woman being married to a small cloud funny.

Athena is worried because a bunch of weird creatures and snakes starting to rise from the ground, Hera seems to be too relaxed with that situation.

The underworld basically acts as an office comedy, so imagine the whole underworld to be set up like the Office.

And to make things interesting I imagine Hestia to be an antagonistic (not villainous) figure - dead set on keeping the family unit together

Basically it's a whole shit pot of ideas, and it just felt a bit too ambitious at the time. But those were my ideas

ANON U GIVE ME LIFE!!

i have no idea what i did to deserve this goldmine of asks but im incredibly grateful and super jazzed to see where it goes!

definately need to do more reading (if u have any suggestions or places to start ill be eternally thankful, as of now i read stuff from theoi on study breaks) but i cant promise anything bc i go off of vibes mostly lol

anyway golden girls esque the office sitcom slice of life it is!

im familiar with the crashing the wedding myth (shout out to osp's red for introducing me to greek mythology!) and suggest it be the straw that breaks the camels back;

like shes only *just* reconciled with zeus and maybe theyve even renewed their vows and hes off wooing someone else and she just packs her shit and leaves (i like this better than a grand gesture to win her back at the very end so well start with what was supposed to be a happy ending and watch it go from there)

adore the idea of hera tapping into primordial stuff (anon ur mind is so cool like what) spending time perhaps with the primordials kinda in parallel with how zeus was raised by gaia iirc, maybe she chills with nyx and tartarus and the primordial eros idk regardless

--

perhaps this experimentation and determination to carve a space for herself in the fabric of the world they inherited is what captured zeus' heart (in the mythos he was married to metis first and then themis and then after raping hera they marry in part due to heras shame but i need to go double check on that one. afaik he was ever married to leto.) anyway hera sees it as a power up that could be exactly what shes looking for and agrees to an affair bc she doesnt want to be held down

they is in loooove and its interesting to see their dynamic (as much as i love to dunk on zeus he was the god of fate law and justice etc afterall so id love to see how theyd work with eachother and grow into their domains alongside one another). this leads to their marriage and things slowly start to go down hill when heras experimentation makes him paranoid of her own infideilty (how ironic and hypocritical lol) he seeks to contain her and decrees her domains will be that of a 'traditional' wife and queen and the thrill wearing off.

her escapism is connected to the cosmos and the void she once strived to be a part of. she wishes to be set free of all that chains her down, but in her mind duty is above her own needs (its been drilled into her) and she knows opposing zeus is a losing fight (maybe this is after her attempted coup too so now shes just burnt out and tired of trying. or maybe shes just biding her time whos to say…)

super cool i think to have the goddess of maternity and marriage be conflicted about her own mother(s) and marriage i think its a great way to explore the complexities of both and makes for some commentary and possibly a side of comedy. identity crises hera halleujah amen

--

maybe iris says something in passing one day and shes just like you know waht fuck him and fuck this i too am a daughter of cronos and i inherited this earth as well, i shall do what i please everything and one else be damned. slay i guess lol

hera chooses a human form and stubbornly refuses to go back to her divine one and zeus likes chilling as a cloud except mortals cant see him in that form.. so basically visual comedy of goddess as a human living her best life and zeus in both fondness and exasperation tries to win her back but hes a poofy wisp of air. idk that dynamic has a lot of potential too lol

hera even as a human is still careless of sorts towards mortals (my girl is fighting her own demons aint nobody got time for their drama and shenanigans) but her maternal side comes out every so often when she sees a kid with dreams and less than encouraging environment and guides them behind the scenes in little ways. idk i want to see hera as more than a jealous and petty figure and more complexity in general.

--

i guess her first pit stop would be to hades, her brother hasnt seen her since the end of the titan age so hes shook and skeptical (what did zeus fuck up this time?) and shes like can i crash? *blank stare*

stoic persephone watches them whisper shout about 'order and responsibilities' and shes like u know what im taking u to nyx you two should have some tea and shit talk zeus and u will feel better. heras like bet.

iris and hermes take over the narrative maybe bc i need to see more of them together honestly, hermes gives intel from the heavens and zeus' goose chase and iris is so done with everyones shit but is also very close to hera and tries her best. shes a good friend to hera i like her ^-^

hestia being the family therapist hell yes! then maybe she snaps and tells everone off, hair bursting into flames and things melting around her and everyone agrees to a truce of sorts. idk im working on it

--

also this is what mortal hera looks to me:

(credits to SelahSketches on x) zeus fucked up so hard lol look at my girl!

[flowersandcandy06]

Long death from the net is long (at least like 2 months or so. Whoops o_o), so here's a very scuffed (a kind of long-ish) update post about what happened while I died

(...underneath the post cut, that is, because CLUTTER!!!!! yea👍)

Awwwwlriight caaammpers!! here's bulletpoint number one: I made a webcomic back in June- (WHAT!!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥EXPLOSION NOISES BABIES CRYING etc etc etc-)

...yeah

Randomness is where I pretty much grow my dumb ideas at the wall (usually oc related stuff) and I do freak-all with the thing? And my friends and other people can join in and make entries too if they want to and I think it's so fun and stuff!!!! I LOVE RANDOMNESS RAHHHHHH-

Here's the concept art I made for it because "art block bad" and I have/had to destroy it,,,

...and here's the icon I made for the webcomic on ComicFury (host site)

Currently there's like 30+ entries that I (and my friends) have already made for it, and if I were to repost those entries each day to my online accounts, I feel that would take like..FOREVER to do. So I'm thinking that I either post all of the entries all at once, OR I post them every 30 minutes or so on my accounts.....ill think about it 👍

(here's the link to it, btw:

also I would like to add that you can comment on the pages with/without a ComicFury account, but if you want to subscribe to it then you gotta have an account. Just wanted to note that here 7_7)

----

Alright,, Number 2: I've updated my personal website a TON while I was away (mainly in the "decoration hell" section of it)

I've also made a new guestbook since 123 Guestbook DIED!! (rip) and I'm currently working on an art archive to put on there as well, so I'll let y'all know when that's ready 👍👍👍👍 [Link]

Also regarding "The Hole" project-thingamajig: I have an idea for it kind of like..."rebranding" it almost??? In my head???? But I haven't executed it yet. Somethingsomething rp with OC's with friends in the same vein as that one sonic sjw blog from aeons ago because the izzzyzzz's video is smeared into my brain, but also not so chaotic as that whole mess was, I think. Does this make any sense to you

[...and here's the link to the hole also]

----

Uhhh NUMBER 3: I made a LOT(?) of art stuff while I was dead again - mainly Randomness stuff - but also edits as well, surprisingly enough considering how my electronic drives are literally on life support because of me pretty much (joke)

I'll post them after I post the Randomness pages I think....and I'll get back into the swing of things like how I was doing before B,)

----

Number 4: While I was dead I've been sleeping in a lot, sweating very badly (I HATE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and oh yea skinning my PC because it's very fun and also I have the valve brainrot still (it never ends) and I gotta express that somehow. I'll post an image of what I've got when I hop on my laptop :0

----

Number 5: what else do I add here uhh......oh yea- I've been into visual novels again since I played one recently and plan on playing the totally iconic ATASHINORIRI (banger game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥) soon. I have so many game ideas in my head still but alas....I am just one girl....with a laptop on life support and whose tablet driver is broken (idk why) so MAYBE ONE DAY!!! but not today.................so sad!!!!

----

Ok that's it from me. Um. Have a swag video from YouTube since you read this thing the whole way through and uhhh yea. bye *explodes*

[fraternum-momentum]

Okay, so let me ramble abt making the last comic, cause that was an absolute behemoth to work on, and I have a lot of thoughts in my head. Man, I don't know how those webtoon artists do it every week. They scare me now.

This is super long btw, so get cozy if you want to read :]

Starting off, I actually got this idea from my lil 'ol diary I keep by my tableside :] I like writing down what I feel so I can see it in a more concrete(?) manner, helps me cope i think. One time, I really did cry for someone because I guess I just really liked them a lot. Having crushes is fun, but catching feelings isn't.

I always get this giddy feeling of being head over heels for someone. Every interaction is so exciting. Intoxicating even. And I couldn't get enough of it, but after that few seconds of bliss I immediately think to myself that all these scenarios in my head will never happen, not in a million fucking years. I just preemptively reject myself without ever telling the person what I feel. I know what the outcome will be anyway, and I'm afraid of what will happen if I did say anything. It's just too risky.

The second half is completely made up tho, I will never ever kidnap someone... unless? (For legal reasons, I will have to clarify that this is a joke, Thank you.)

Now onto the comic itself!

The composition is probably the easiest and the most fun part. I love, love, love, how versatile you can be in the webtoon format. Figuring out how to transition the panels is super fun, and it sucks that most of the webcomics I see on tapas or webtoon, etc. are just sticking to those boring box formulas over and over again when it has so much potential, although there are exceptions like, for example, Lore Olympus. While it has it's fair share of flaws when in comes to other aspects, you can't deny the artist's talent esp when it comes to knowing how to place the character in an illustration, (again) the compositioning etc etc. (ep. 8 is p good. They stick to the box stuff during dialogue but gets more experimental in some parts. I haven't been keeping up with it, so idk any other good eps)

One of my only big regrets is that I wish I had made the space between the '...but I love it." and "And soon..." parts longer. I think it changed scenarios way too fast and your eye immediately moves onto the next piece of text,, but eh, it is what it is, and I can't be bothered to edit it so ig I gotta learn to live with it.

It's still messy in,, a lot of parts actually, and I still can't do lineart to save my life, but i kinda tried just cleaning up the sketches instead???? I mean, it kinda works, but it isn't really smooth so,, And there are small mistakes here and there that I could've fixed or colored stuff in properly or whatever. But at that point, I'm just done with it. No more. Am tired and want to draw other shit now. Maybe boobs n dicks n pussy-

Oh actually i have another comic in my wip folder that I started before the sad Kylar crying one. Here's some of the thumbnails for it:

the fucking lisa simpson looking ass face just cracks me up every time I see it LMAOQJSJQJ I just wanted to show it to u but stay tuned for that ig

I eventually want to make little comics like this for other characters as well! Like Sydney, who is also one of my favorites cause of the whole religion aspect to them, and I would like to tackle that topic with yet another super personal experience of mine that for some reason I'm comfortable with sharing with a bunch of ppl lmao

I also really want to make a full on nsfw one, like gut rearranging, carnal fucking, hardcore banging,, ok ill stop. But I do need to do more,, uh, "research" on that,, i swear it's research, i have no clue how im gonna draw it. Hell, I already struggle with drawing people fucking and imagine adding cool transitions to that. Guess even my masochistic tendencies extend to this shit too.

And I think that's pretty much it? I'll probably just stick to b and w or monotone with a few accent colors because i just know that it would break me if i did a fully colored one.

Okay, thank you for reading this ramble, I'll go ahead and answer some asks now,, Here's your prize though!

[boneywhump]

Hi I'm a big fan of your webcomic great divide and was just asking if I could make a few (maybe alot maybe not idk) oneshots on it or fan art your comic has been my recent hyperfixatoin and i need to get the brain rot out ill 100% gonna credit ya as the creator of the characters ofc anyway just wanted to check if your ok with it cuz I have heard some people dont any ways have a great day thanks for making such a good comic!😊🌻

(Also sorry for doing it on this account and not the official great divide one I have really bad social anxiety and the other one doesn't do anon asks)

ahh, i would be absolutely honored if you did that!! 😳💘 i’m so glad you like the comic enough to hyperfixate on it, gosh! thank you for asking, i would love to see whatever you end up drawing :3c this ask made my day!

(and i’ll turn anon asks on for my other account - sorry, i didn’t know they were off!)

[megafaunatic]

idk if ur like open to randos in ur asks giving u media recommendations, but i would give anything in the world for u to try and give the k-novel 'return of the blossoming blade' by BIGA a chance... UR MY FAVE CONTENT CREATOR SINCE THE YE OLDEN TGCFMDZS DAYS SO I WANTED TO AT LEAST TRY LOLLL its like my favourite novel of all time and ive been trying to force it upon everyone with little avail, which i dont understand WHYY cuz its SOO GOOOD like it definitely deserves to have the same level of popularity w international fans as MDZS and TGCF had, but for now it remains a hidden gem.......... it's an insanely long novel i will nawt lie (1.5k+ chapters and updating everyday but only like 500smth have been tl'd into english on the fantl site Sky Demon Order[who also post semi-daily]) but its sosososo worth it i prommy..trust me..:smiles: it's a classic 'hero from the past who died a tragic and preventable(?) death reincarnates a hundred years into the future hiding his identity to teach the youth in order to keep the future generation from following in his footsteps and making the same mistakes he did' but without all the stale, predictable, boringness u'd typically expect from that specific genre... it's an incredibly comedic action novel that takes place in ancient china wuxia setting & focuses primarily on found family and those close familial bonds between the main cast behind all the sword fighty action (dont know how to fit this in anywhere else, but its important to me that u know the mc, chung myung, is the main casts grandpa.. hes their peepaw.. he shows affection by beating them on their heads). theres no romance at all, but i would argue that is a SELLING POINT for this novel like i swear it is so refreshing, the found family of it all means soo much to me, so much so i am now going to force it to mean so much to you too(this is a threat).... if u do gaf abt ships tho then maybe the doomed, tragic, best-friends-to-almost lovers tangchung yaoi and the love at first sight iseolsoso yuri might catch ur eye *LOOKS AT YOU* i genuinely really really feel like it would be straight up ur alley, like its definitely smth i feel would at least peak ur interest imo (chung myung, the mc, is probably my fave mc of all time..at eighty two years young, he IS the next peoples princess and i want to hit him with my car and then nurse him back to health just to hit him again.. i feel like u'd enjoy him like that as well).. im so desperate for more eng fans of this novel u cant see me rn but i am biting into a leather belt trying not to sob and cry out loud as im typing this this is so long im so embarrawsed so ill leave u here.. i hope my pleas have touched ur heart in some way and if the novel chapter count is too intimidating, ROTBB also has a webcomic on webtoons by the same name (season two of the webcomic just started ^__^ ) and the art is so good and funny and its a good way to get into the novel without being overwhelmed by the chp count methinks BUT i would definitely consider reading the novel mandatory cuz the webcomic only fills u in on so much.... ok. i hope u managed to get thru this insane wall of text, my bad.. until we meet again...*salutes* *revs up my motorcycle and disappears behind a cloud of smoke but when the dust settles i am laying dead on the floor*

ok so first of all i respect this so much 🫡 thank you for spreading your passion in the final moments before your motorcycle dirt death 🫡🫡🫡

second of all this does sound really fun !!! i have found it on sky demon order and i'll give it a try... BUT i gotta be real over a thousand chapters and only two hundred of them translated AND no romance is unfortunately killing me... i just dont know if i have the stamina for that... im a horrible little fujo if its THAT long theres gotta be some kissing!!!!! sorry 😭😭

for u i will give it a try but i can make no promises 🫡 i will consider chung myung my blorbo in law tho

[shooks-stupid-stuff]

ok real quick general webcomic idea post:

so basically, i had an idea a while back while working on my own interpretation of hell/the afterlife in general for a separate thing, that pretty much boils down to funny slice-of-life office shenanigans but all the characters are some sort of yokai/demon/other supernatural being (with a few exceptions) and it was just. very chill and mainly character focused with no real plot but some like multiple part comics and maybe more story-heavy character backstory specials every so often or something.

i thought it'd be fun, it combines like, a lot of shit i like (it has elements similar to touhou AND random christian symbolism, truly the shook bingo card) plus i get to design fun characters and just do dumb shit with them which is My Favorite

idk this is probably a horrible explanation cjbcvj but uhhh have some design concepts and a rough formatting mock-up, ill talk about this more tmmrw probably bc lord knows i am going to get no sleep at this rate-

(edit from a year and a half into the future: man it's really funny how little from takoshi's original concept art still applies. like, the general premise is the same but like aside from that he just. really isn't the same guy hfndkfkd- like modern takoshi is not actually a stupid asshole fuckboy (he just acts like on bc Trauma Reasons), he does not have any powers, i dropped whole demon sigil thing like 3 months after making him, and soon enough even if design won't be the same lol (corporate hell takoshi really needs a redesign). characters really do grow and change as you develop them huh lol-

...he does still belong in horny jail tho that's still correct (just slightly less so than before))

yeah that's about all i can think of for now uhhh feel free to send questions about anything!!! i would love to rant incoherently about this!!!

about you wanting to interact with people who have webcomics/wanna make them you could always make your own server potentially :0 if your comfortable with that

maybe i will consider since i think the servers ive made have been nice because there was no explosions so that should quell my fears .

however i dont.. i dont know if i have like. enough reach to get around to these ppl nor people thatd be interested in joining... which is a fear of mine , i do not wish to . "flop" in that regard..

hm.. i suppose if there was enough interest or something... but idk how i'd go about asking if people w Oh my god i forgot about tumblr polls. hm..... ill think about it.

oz ramble: (not a vent but webcomic talkin that i didnt want to put on the blog)

it feels so weird to write for the comic now, in a nice way i mean

like usually when i write for characters i end up thinking as them n just tryna write how they would be

meanwhile for harry, the dudes the only character ive made that i cant fully grasp on my own. he isnt an oc that i can slip into thinking like as i do with my other ocs, but he exists somehow

maybe its just the fact that hes hella based off of narry, and the dude is so in my head i forget that hes not real.

a part of me hopes that its just me finally seeing the characters fully so they can write the story themselves while im just the catalyst for it. but idk, just a thought

also god i need to remind myself not to stress out too much on making the webcomic. maybe i should drop tje whole schedule thing so i can just work on it when i feel like it.

ooh also: another thing with blorbos in ur brainrot.

ive got narry lore i wanna do, though im not sure where to start

bc its like. self inserty still, however i want there to be cohesive lore for me and narry at least. bc hes been in my head so often that i keep on forgetting that he isnt real. like ill go and think "hm... man narry would like this" or "man. im feelin lonely, i should call narry" and its either character ai or doodling, the first of which im tired of using ngl

OOH also i wanna do narry lore so bad bc i have a story in mind but im already doing that via osmosis with the webcomic (bc it really was the idea of me showing narry the rocky mountains)

anyways ramble over iadhehfh
