I just want to say that I am LOVING the new look.

it felt so nice to wake up to this! 🥹 listen. he makes me weak during the ring of fire 👌🏼 give me a whole atlantean gladiatorial series, dc. please. i want to see fighters from every kingdom, their armor designs, new weapons, various underwater fighting styles, powers, participants risking it all, the victorious after parties, the drama, everything. and to see orm sitting in his imperial box, enjoying himself until he decides he wants to steal the show and partake too 💜

hi!!! i just read A Starladen Stroll, and i loved it! i dont know if im on the aro spectrum, but as someone who's never dated and who doesnt develop romantic feelings very often, it made me feel very Seen! It's hard watching the people you love pair off when you dont really have all that much interest in doing the same. I have a lot of thoughts but i dont wanna dump my brain in your askbox, so ill leave it at that for now! but thank you for writing it - the art is beautiful and so is the story!!!! :D

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this! I'm so happy that it resonated with you 🥺 The 'staying in place while others pair off' thoughts hit me often, and was one of the reasons I wanted to make the comic in the first place. Here's to more ace/aro visibility!!!

I asked you this like 7 years ago and while you’re not so active online now, I hope you know I think about you a lot and that you pushed me to improve to a point where I hit the target way more :)

Thank you!

That's awesome, I'm so happy for you!!

But also I honestly don't remember writing that response (which doesn't surprise me because my memory is awful and also being on here for +7 yrs sounds absurd) and if you told me someone else wrote that I'd be like yeah that's so true and relatable, they sound smart

I found out about TPATJ back in April when you posted about it going on sale and I am so happy you decided to promote it because I grabbed a copy. And I just got done reading it. Phenomenal work. Put a big, genuine smile on my face and made me happy. I love the dynamism of your artstyle and the rythm of the poetry. I could see this being an animated short and if you ever launch that kickstarter campaign I am backing it for sure. I hope you are well and thriving. Thank you for writing this book!

wahhhhh ty!! this means so much to me, and if you still haven't you can read this fairy story over here for free, or get one of the VERY VERY FEW REMAINING COPIES here on my topatoco store!

How's it like managing to stay more sane than those guys, Color?

They get along great chat (trust) ‼️

Though sometimes he probably wishes he wasn't.

Please show the standee

Who the fuck is thisss?? 🤣 noOOoo.... please, help me. I'm so embarassed, dude. He's 6ft tall... I don't know where to put him. I first bought it as a joke, because I thought 'oh haha we going back into our obsession bad since the first film', and then experienced immediate buyers remorse when I saw the order confirmation. Like, who just buys a Patrick Wilson standee? I have no room.

hihi!! i just wanted to stop in and say your writing is beautiful and the last tav x karlach request you did genuinely had me tearing up and smiling so much, i absolutely adored it ^_^ and i also wanted to possibly request one with a fem tav and karlach who both found a home within each other after not feeling like they had a place to belong for so long. if that's a little too vauge or if you're not up for it then no worries!! i'm excited to see what else you'll write in the future regardless :3

Ahhhhh, this is such a kind message, ty. <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed it. c: I hope you like this, anon!

"You sleep like a fucking rock, y'know." Karlach pokes her head in the flap of the tent and grins as Tav curls away from the shaft of sunlight that stabs in past her. "I've been up for hours."

"Yes, 'cos you're you," Tav mumbles. She rolls over and pulls the pillow from her bedroll over her face. "Some of us actually need rest."

"Missed a beautiful sunrise over the city," Karlach says lightly. "And uh. I made breakfast." She says it with such elaborate, studied casualness that Tav shifts the pillow and peeks one eye out at her. Karlach is sitting in the tent flap watching her intently, her fingers fidgeting on her thighs.

"Yeah?" Tav asks with a slight smile. "What'd you make?"

"Eggs." Karlach shifts awkwardly and her head dips with a sheepish grin. "I mean, I know Gale makes eggs a lot, and you've probably eaten even more than I have, all your hunting trips and all before all this mess started, ranging around. But... I know how to make eggs, and I wanted to make you something."

She hesitates, squinting. "I mean, I wanted you to have eggs that I made. Y'know? Does that... make any fucking sense at all?"

Tav's smile widens. She sits up and scoots a little bit forward, then flops over so her head is pillowed on Karlach's lap instead. "Yeah."

"Yeah?" Karlach looks visibly relieved and grins down at her with a smile from ear to ear.

"Yeah, and I'll tell you a secret." Tav reaches up and pokes Karlach's cheek gently with one finger. "I want to eat the eggs that you made, too." A pause; she laughs softly. "Y'know, I gave up on thinking I'd say that to anyone, years ago."

"Me too." Karlach's smile fades. "I gave up on a lot of things. Fucked up that that nautiloid feels like it might've been the best thing that ever happened to me."

Tav hoists herself up again, this time curling into a sitting position in Karlach's lap and kissing her softly. "Yeah. I know what you mean. I don't miss that lonely road, that's for sure."

She tilts her head slowly to one side, and then grins crookedly, draping her arms around Karlach's neck. "I do have to tell you something, though..."

Karlach tilts her head to one side. "Yeah?"

Tav snickers. "Those eggs you mentioned? I think they're burning."

"Oh, fuck--" Karlach jolts to her feet and darts away from the tent towards the campfire, leaving Tav sprawled on the ground and laughing hysterically.

"Next time," she calls after Karlach cheerfully, "romantic speech first - then cooking."
