Forgive me for finally responding to these. I know they are months old, but do know I had seen them earlier. Just didn't have the mental energy to respond.

@/Anonymous I'm glad you find them appealing to look at, haha! I appreciate your gratitude and I hope you continue following along despite my absence. I'm in a better head space now so I hope to continue back on my schedule.

@/Anonymous I feel so ashamed I didn't end up doing the intermission comics. Comics are hard. I'll see if I can continue on the side with them and forgo colouring, however, I find myself lacking when there is no colour... I'm at a constant battle with myself. I'm still foreword with the idea, though.

@confused-i-know Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the narrative!

@/Anonymous Wise words that I'm trying to take to heart. I adore this story and wish to see it to fruition regardless of the obstacles. I just need to keep in mind not to turn it into a job and work on it when I feel the need and desire. Creating a comic takes so much time, but I adore every step of it.

Thank you all for the kind words and staying with me despite my wildly fluctuating schedule. I've recovered a lot mentally and finally find myself wanting to draw once again. Something I feared would be long gone at the state I was. I'm finishing up some of the first few pages to ch3 and they will be available on my Patreon for early access. I post them as I finish them so they will be available at odd times over on that platform. I hope to create enough of a backlog to begin posting publicly around mid to late October.

Again, thank you all for your patience and trust. Your kind words push me to be a better writer and artist and I hope to fulfill your expectations for the future of this comic.

Reposted for the sake of crossing out specific questions that aren't suited for the blog or I can't exactly "roleplay" since... I really only have like two(?) people I rp with. However, if you're interested in rping with an OC, I can accept any interactions. Just understand all interactions regardless what you have established in your canon are null regarding my boys. They are strangers. Two trains ships passing in the night. This is for both OC/canon. Doing this to maybe help with my burnout...

Reminder to self:

[metrobound]

// I wish to update you all on a very big change. I’ll be leaving my job in two weeks which will help open up my schedule to art and so much more. I’ll be taking a long mental rest that I’ve needed for several years. However, because of the sudden abrupt change, my schedule will be shifted drastically. I’m not sure when I’ll begin posting once more with chapter 3 but know I’m roughly 1/3 of the way done with lining.

I also had a long conversation with a dear friend regarding webcomic updates. Due to my tumblr page being broken regarding notifications and my inability to navigate the UI and create a poll. How open to weekly updates vs binge drops are those of you more particular towards. My format will remain the same here with weekly updates as it stands for an excellent motivator for me. Though I seem to always prefer a binge read. Catching up roughly once a month as so I’m not reading a mere single page nor an entire chapter. A satisfying middle ground.

A very curious thought I wished to delve more into with those who managed to stick with my narrative despite the lack of notifications or updates….

To be frank I’ve been tempted to move to a new blog as the notifications issues grows more worrisome to me.

As for those who have left me messages, I have received them. I’ll ensure to respond promptly once my schedule is finally free.

// Happy two years to Reconciliation!

I took a long hiatus and that's on me, but I didn't expect to still be working on this project two years later. Frankly, this is the longest I've participated in a fandom and it's quite intriguing. For a very long time, I struggled returning to long format comics as I had once done over a decade ago, yet something about this narrative made me determined to ride the wind of a long narrative comic once more! I am ever grateful for it and I hope to continue to the end and share this story with you all who managed to hang in there. Your enthusiasm and kindness has been a a grand motivator in continuing this story. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

// Finally, after so long for so few pages, we’re done with chapter two! I want to give a great big thank you to everyone who had stuck around through my long hiatus for the return of this narrative. I shall be off for another month consolidating everything I have finished so far for chapter three so I may return to a biweekly posting schedule. I hope to continue sometime during mid August. Updates will be posted of course.

I also had many a thought on the matter of posting side comics regarding my interpretations of Ingo and Emmet’s character. I at first wished to not interrupt my own main story with side content, but with the close of chapter two, I feel more comfortable sharing in between chapters.

All-in-all, I hope everyone is well. Stay hydrated and eat your vegetables. Carrots are delightful this time of year!

Incoming Call

@/Anonymous // Ah- then it truly seems to be so. Would be curious if I was actually shadow banned. I don't think my comic has any violations? At least not what I'm aware of? All I could think of is the image size might make the site unhappy, but not enough to warrent such a drastic move. It makes my current theme very unhappy. I've had to message the maker in the past regarding lifting size restraints. My bad.

Nothing but functional yellow tape and a crime scene here. All is in order.

I am most well, tired, but well. I hope the same for you.

@deimos21 // I was quite curious by this and tried it myself and you are indeed correct! I'm not quite sure why I'm not appearing like normal? All my public settings are indeed turned on and nothing seems to be out of the norm. It could perhaps be due to this account being a side blog? Although, my other side blogs seem to be dandy as usual.

Perhaps Tumblr has decided my likeness is best kept to the shadows. I do not necessarily mind this. It's cozy.

To be frank, I'm pretty sure it has to do with some form of bug possibly connected with the account itself. I still have issues on my side that have never been corrected such as inboxes nor notifications working on desktop. I've seen by correcting this, I'd need to delete this account which I shall not do.

Maybe this conundrum will be fixed eventually, but until then, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Some quicker stuff heavily inspired by those pieces by @princess-triton

I always try to give Ingo this mysterious vibe. Like he‘s up to something you‘re not supposed to know. But if you were to muster up your courage and ask he‘d gladly tell you all about it!

// Returning from my vacation with great reluctance. Pages will continue this Sunday, June 2nd. I will also be more diligent about posting loose sketches and illustrations as I’ve come to find my social media quite barren of content I wish to see from myself.

I found myself becoming far too restrictive in what I consider appropriate to post here to the point I constrained myself to mere comics. This is an art blog too and I must remember it as such.
