How are you always online when I'm trying to sleep, good squire? (/hj)

But actually, do you sleep? And if so, what time zone are you in? Because you always are online past midnight where I'm at.

Of course I do (mild case of insomnia aside). My time zone is CET. I schedule these posts over the course of the day/night. I'm not actually online when these go up.

To Frisk and Kris: What are your favorite snacks, aside from moss and trash?

To akanenemnon: Why are you're comics so fricking cool,awsome, great and amazing?

Uhh... I dunno. I'm just the janitor /j

But seriously though, thank you! Happy to hear you enjoy them. Unfortunately I can't answer any asks that are aimed at the characters directly. You can find out more about the why in the Masterpost that's pinned on my blog.

So, I showed twin runes to my friend, and although he liked it, he said: “but why does flowey have asriel-like body if he’s still soulless? He has the god of hyper death form in pacifist after absorbing every soul, so it’s not an excuse”

Please answer

I just want him to shut up please make up whatever I beg you

Gerson in Chapter 4 is a Hammer with monster dust sprinkled over it.

Flowey is a Flower with monster dust sprinkled over it.

The math checks out.

Dark World's be weird like dat

Hi Akane, how are you doing 👋?

In addition to your comic? hehe

Still breathing 👍

But the comic isn't. Which is a good thing. It'd be weird if it did that...

[akanemnon]

As someone who also wants to make a fan comic some day, I feel inclined to ask what your writing process is for these comics? How much do you script out, and how far ahead? And do you just script out the entire plot, or do things like character arcs separately?

The way I scripted Twin Runes was a little spotty. Only by page 9 did I know what I wanted to do and where I wanted the characters to end up. The issue was how to get there.

I sporadically scripted the next pages in advance and focused more on telling jokes that tied into the characters and their issues.

It was around page 23, where I had the complete picture of how i wanted to go about the plot. I wrote the entire script in a way that it focused on how each page was supposed to look like and what everyone says in each panel.

Everything was scripted from then on out. You can actually tell what's not part of the script by the change in how the art is rendered. Those are the bonus episodes.

But the overall focus of each page was either to tell a joke, to develop the characters, or give you important info. Sometimes, all three at once.

Wait a moment.

What.

WHAT.

WHAAAAAAAAT?!

I LEGITIMATELY HAD NO IDEA HE WAS HIDING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE MASTERPOST IMAGE. I THOUGHT IT WAS EMPTY SPACE THIS ENTIRE TIME.

Akane, you absolute genius. You hid the guy in plain sight and I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

I honestly have to give you props for that one.

Hehe, I keep telling you guys I hide stuff in plain sight. This was probably THE poster child for that specifically. There are way more out there. Maybe it'll all click once we get there 😉

[akanemnon]

I saw you made a chara artwork of them in a concert outfit ( which was really cute btwww, I luv it ), and I thought why don’t I sprite it :D ( I’m not a rlly good pixel artist at all- so sorry if there are certain incorrect things or things that look off TwT ) Hope you like it, and keep up the amazing work Akane <3 You’re an amazing person and I hope your day is as amazing as you! Also Happy Pride month btw, from one nb to another [Double Finger Guns]

Well look like chapter 5 is gonna get asgore shop themed.

How much of your prediction to (how the location look like, enemies and all the other stuff) you think you might get get right?

Oh, none at all!

The whole reason this Dark World looks the way it does is because of Flowey! The themes and ideas all center around him as this Dark World's knight.

You know, how when Susie created a Dark World in Chapter 4, everything about it was really... wonky?

It's like that, but a hundred times more extreme.

Also, not to mention the whole glitching thing and everything falling apart.

Wait so Is flowey still soulless? Or does he have a soul cause he is a darkner or something

Let's consult the goat who knows too much but doesn't want to

Yeah, no. Still soulless.

That checks out.

[akanemnon]

Does dark world flowey have all the abilities of omega/photoshop flowey or just normal flowey because frisk seems to have the abilities of all the soul modes

Pretty sure he'd have all of his abilities. The Dark World does seem to enhance your magic after all

[akanemnon]

Hi Akan! I hope your doing well, or at least having a good day! Just like to come on Sunday show some more fanart! Ik I've shown some main most posts I've done, but I honestly just see this as a safe spot to share it online. Hope you're okay with that :)

Stay determined and drink water!

Hey there!

Thank you so SO much for the lovely fanart! I really appreciate it!

It means a lot to me that you view this as a safe space! I want everyone to feel secure and encouraged to share their work on their artist journey 💜

[akanemnon]

Given the themes of this comic, what are your plans for Susies' whole situation? I've seen some versions float around, but I'm curious about yours. Love your work❤️

Well... we have a little more than 30 pages left. So I can tell you with what I have planned, there is no way for me to squeeze more stuff in...

[akanemnon]

why do i feel like the first thing flowey asked as the knight is "be honest...do i look good in this form?"

"Your fabulous my knight."

Low key 1 to 1 how his first interaction with Priestess went.

[akanemnon]

Aren't shadow crystals supposed to only be seen by their, well, shadows? And are otherwise almost completely transparent?

Sometimes, you gotta do workarounds and slightly change things for them to be more easily readable/understandable to the audience.

[akanemnon]

Just had a thought... Frisk's a Red Mage, Chara's a Thief, Toriel's a Cleric, and Asgore's a Druid. So... What's Flowey's class? Dark Knight? Berserker? What?

I designed him as a JRPG Final Boss. Aka the BBEG.

I'd say Warlock would fit him well.

I think Cobumbo might be one of my favorite fandom animatics of all time tbh

It's funny looking back at it how much the quality changes within the animatic. You can literally see when I figured out how this works.

Part of me wanted to redo the beginning of the animatic. But then I was already 2 weeks in of working on it.

I'm getting faster and faster doing these. But it still takes me hours to do just 30 seconds. And that's not even "real" animation and just animated storyboards.
