I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!

as you all seem to know, Dissonant Melody, a comic by the amazing @driftingnova seems to be all but discontinued, and its creator has been completely absent from tumblr and all other platforms for at least two years.

dissonant melody meant and still does mean more than the world To me. While I can’t ask Nova directly because they’ve been radio silent for years, I am going to take it upon myself to do a sort of ‘fan continuation’ of sorts. It’ll stay relevant to the way the story seemed to be going, and I’m going to keep the same designs style and at highest pg14 rating, and I will credit Nova in every post I make

this comic is amazing, and I feel like it deserves some form of closure.

TLDR;

DISSONANT MELODY IS RETURNING SOON.

[balljointed-godess]

IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR I PRESENT:

The beginning of the next chapter of Dissonant melody I call: Tension

big things are coming :)

part 1 of ?

DISCLAIMER: Dissonant Melody does not belong to me, it was originally created by the amazing @driftingnova. This is a fan continuation.

WEEEWOOWEEEWOOO

DISSONANT MELODY HAS ALTERED MY BRAIN AND I CANNOT BE NORMAL ABOUT IT OH MY GOD

Octavio’s younger design has altered the chemical composition of my brain cells and I’m no longer able to not think about him and Craig oh my god also Craig’s younger design is so damn cute like I wanna squish his stupid face ALSO ALSO check out the dub if you haven’t yet, it’s really good but not finished yet apparently..

(One of my irl moots/friend’s messaged the channel owner and asked why they haven’t posted another dm dub vid yet and they said they had to take a break from it because the story is so heart breaking to actually voice and my god they are correct, shout out to the great king gao and King Kodiak!

(Octavio and Craig’s voice actors in the dub by yumi studios, I believe is the channel name :3))

Anywho, I’m still working on my solo dub of dissonant melody but I just can’t post anything on here yet because of my card situation so… y’all will get random posts of rants, art and other stuff in the meantime! :3

im waiting for a dissonant melody update like mama coco waiting for her dad to come back 😭😭😭

not necessarily an info post but just a rant i've been thinking about:

being a magical hero is inherently political.

i've seen people in the community before shying away from "political" topics because they're "not into politics", or political topics make them uncomfortable, or are completely neutral. if you are not a cis, straight, neurotypical, able-bodied, white man; your existence is made inherently political by our oppressors. many of us magical heroes are queer, afab, bipoc, and/or disabled, and our rights are always going to be intersectional.

unfortunately, we're at a point where human rights are being made into "politics" by people who intend to erase our stories. queer people being stripped of their rights, deportations without due process. we're watching history repeat itself each and every day. with each new headline, we find ourselves deeper in a world where we fear for our safety and that of our family, friends, and neighbors.

now we get into where this applies to us magical heroes.

i see many people trying to do good things in their mundane lives alongside their magical lives. whether it's helping individuals, or donating old items. that's great. however, i do feel like there is more that can be done.

do your research into different organizations and support whoever you can, by donating or sharing. share gofundmes. get into mutual aid circles, donate and share whenever you can.

do your research on issues happening around the world and take a stance, spread the word, start meaningful conversations that could incite education and change. keep your eyes, ears, and mind open.

register to vote if you legally can, vote in local elections as well as national. contact your local representatives.

do volunteer work for soup kitchens, animal shelters, or outreach programs.

learn CPR and first aid, get certified. learn your country's sign language or another spoken language.

get in touch with your local community; attend meetings (for example, school clubs); attend fundraising events in your community; support small businesses in your local community and beyond.

if you're religious, attend services where you go to worship. do volunteer work there if you can. read your religion's scriptures and literature and study them.

just try to talk with your neighbors! building an aspect of community is so important in times like these.

and SO much more that i may have forgotten!!

you can be fighting real monsters as well as metaphorical monsters: poverty and homelessness, hunger, ecocide, genocide and war crimes, all created and upheld by oligarchs that want to divide us in order to generate revenue.

you can't pick and choose your battles, whether in your mundane life or in your magical life. you have to fight for everyone or no one at all. neutrality is complicity.

at the end of the day, use your common sense.

please feel free to discuss this and add on if you'd like :)

i don't want silentlily to happen now because it would be too predictable.

manifesting silent salt as a beer-chugging boomer who just wants to fish and/or grill. he's the cookie of Silence because he went innawoods and nobody's heard from him since.

I had to make this I'm sorry. Your verbiage compelled me

I still want SilentLily though :( I have a big soft spot for them. They probably take 2nd place in my Beast x Ancient ranking along with ShadowVanilla (although maybe it isn't really fair to rank them because I genuinely do love all five pairs very much). I do understand what you're saying, though. If it turns out that he's not Elder Faerie split in two or whatever, and he's not leading the St. Pastry Order, then a jaded knight who doesn't want to use his sword anymore, but can't bring himself to part with it, is a neat alternative. I always imagined him being Very Tired anyway (not the same "tired" the others are, Mystic Flour especially. Something a lot more blunt and less sanctimonious, but also quieter than like. Burning Spice's "tired". Idk if that makes sense). Silent "I just wanna grill" Salt 2025
