Here it is! Narinder Maid Cafe! Done before the end of the year too! Thank you for everyone who submitted! If you didn't get the chance to join, don't worry. We're already planning something for next year with Lamb designs! Gotta say, it was SO MUCH FUN drawing all these different designs! I find it so fascinating how many takes people have on Narinder. Honestly loved every single one. I think the most interesting theme is how pretty much all of them have wrist scars, even without that being in his end game design. Also, for the two refs I got that were uncolored, I just used canon Narinder's pallet. I hope everyone enjoys and leaves a 5 star review on Google for the Narinder Maid Cat Cafe. They accidentally scheduled 16 employees at once and have no customers!!!

Anyway... mass tagging below!

Cake: Why do I never feel the energy to do anything but the bare minimum each day?

50 hour work weeks in a high stress job, anxiety making hair fall out, getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night, forgetting to eat/drink for days, endless responsibility: idk bro... really makes you think... makes you think...

Me: why do I feel horrifically fatigued and nauseous

The moldy hole in my wall letting the cold air in my room, the empty stomach, the month of December, the overwhelming responsibilities, untreated health problems, my cat: idk you should drink a hot drink about it. That will fix Everything

'FOGGY STREETS AND CHRISTMAS LIGHTS'

(part 3/3)

I'm gonna infodump about the backstory of this comic, don't feel obligated to read it because it's not cotl related it's just personal stuff, I just want to be able to write about it somewhere cause I can't really talk to anyone about it.

As always, thanks for reading this far, sorry my stuff has been such a bummer so consistently. This comic goes out to all my "christmas induced depression" homies, I left my house maybe like ~5 times all month and it was NOT pleasant hearing "IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!" on the radio when I'm so ready for it to be over. Gonna take it reaaaaal easy til the year ends, you guys take it easy too!! Got some asks I have to respond to when I'm more stable but probably no new comic pages til january

Alright uhhh so this part of the comic is pretty much taken directly from the last time I saw my great-grandma alive, a few days before christmas. She didn't remember me, but at the nursing home there was a piano, and I sat down and played some stuff because I didn't know what to say. I was really into lisa the painful rpg at the time, and I played that "I've got the joy" song that the villain sings without realizing it was an old christian campfire song. She didn't really say much or move that whole night, just kind of gave me a polite blank smile, but started singing the words when I played the notes to that song.

I kinda stopped in shock, my dad frantically asked me to keep playing, so I did. While the comic I made is way more sappy than the actual moment was, I wish I'd cherished the moment longer. I didn't know it was the last time I'd see her alive. Every family christmas was held at her house when she was around, so it's been weird the past few years. I actually lost another dementia-addled grandma to cancer on christmas eve in 2009, so the holiday was already kind of weird for me on top of everything else that makes me sad this time of year. That's what part 2 was about, I'll spare the details but I wrote leshy to act out how I felt back then. Why are we all sad? This is supposed to be a happy time, all the decorations are up and we're almost all here, so why is everyone smiling yet everything feels so wrong? I feel like since leshy's canonically the most ignorant one to things lurking below the surface, he'd be the one to try and make everyone feel better but not quite understand why everyone is so miserable. My first memory of having self injurious behavior came from then, hence why I had leshy pull his leaves off in the last comic. It was confusing and frustrating and I was just old enough to comprehend something was wrong, but not old enough to understand the depth of it, it DEFINITELY didn't help that nobody helped me back then so I made leshy's siblings actually come in clutch instead of grabbing him/yelling at him.

That night with the piano was something that's stuck with me the few years she's been gone, but I felt kind of strange when I asked my dad and my sister about it and neither of them remembered it. The room we were in was completely empty so nobody else witnessed it but us three. I myself have a history of head trauma and memory loss (plus, native americans are disproportionately more likely to develop dementia... lucky us) so if I ever forgot about that moment, there'd be nobody left to remember it. Sometimes when I do comics, it's my way of going "this happened at some point, and the only evidence it ever happened was me witnessing it, so if something happens to me I want the memory to stay alive in some form."

Anyway. The autistic urge to overshare, am I right? Idk what my religious ass great-grandma would think of me drawing demonic comics about my last memory of her, she'd probably think it's funny though cause she raised my dad whose interests have always been "death metal and devil worship". I'm not sure if anyone read this far, I just hope my dumb comics can convey the things I can't say with my voice and struggle to say through text. None of this was supposed to be "feel bad for me!! Woe is me!!", it was supposed to me more like...cathartic? Healing? I almost didn't post this comic because it felt kinda weird, but seeing people connect with it made it worth it imo. Thank you

and then they made out

[twooftheluckyones]

Please tell people that you like their things. Not just writing, not just art, but anything. We live in an age where we are constantly surrounded by things that make us feel little. Any aspect of someone's life is eroded away by constantly seeing people who are better than them. It's not to say that it makes people jealous, but its so easy to fall victim to low self confidence when all around you being promoted by algorithms and the media are nothing but the most amazing talented people you ever see, which just makes you pale in comparison. So people, say something, anything, just to help people who otherwise feel like they're nothing instead feel like they actually matter. Its not hard to just say anything, even "This is cool!" or something. A like button is next to meaningless.

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

How is this the first Krampus Goat I've seen this season??? This is inspired and lovely!

Goat and Lamb as Krampus and Santa!!

POV: you are a spy, and this Lamb can no longer read minds...but they don't need to when the Devil can, whispering in their ear

The Narinder collab pic is in progress and going well! Here's a hint of what's happening!

[twooftheluckyones]

uhhhh non-canon shitten or whatever that was motivated by some friends

No name, hardly knows it exists. I think it’d manifest all magical like 🎄

Idk man it probably just “poofed” out of nowhere, like fairy or whatever. More stuff under the cut:

closeups ⬇️

The fourth drawing of Narinder was inspired by the rebozo, which a lot of babies are typically carried with.

He’s also a farmer because I think it’s funny lol; imagine him getting super pressed over someone taking his shovel or something.

Realistically though, these guys will never have kids. Hypothetically: it would not be on purpose, more like a manifestation from power residue????? hmmmm

I will totally draw it more though, I like it’s big bug eyes..

Not a thought in the world.
