hello! long time, no post. 😅 sorry there's no actual update, but i figured this blog deserves an actual hiatus notice.

i haven't abandoned this, but any updates i may be able to give will be sporadic at best. as a compromise, i decided to post this comic on ao3 as well, so you can subscribe if you're interested! that way you can be emailed if this updates.

thanks for enjoying this. :)

the full cover i did for @kizukizine2023 🔥🌔😈🔥

it's based on "the night parade of a hundred demons", where a whole bunch of supernatural creatures parade into the real world. it's pretty iconic imagery to me, and the two most immediate examples i have of it being referenced is jjk's s2 op2 and the bridge crossing scene in spirited away.

other fun facts: the moon in the back is a waxing moon (one of the translations for kizuki/upper moon) and is visually inspired by botw's blood moon; hantengu is holding gyokko's vase lol; the character on their lamps is the one that denotes their being an upper moon, so they all have it in their eye as well.

hope yall pick up a copy of this digital zine!

pre-orders close DEC 20!

I love your art. You’re really talented. I’m really sorry that your stuff isn’t working for you. I just had this thought: during the training arc Hakuji should totally work with demon slayers on what to do if they’re disarmed and he should simulate what fighting a demon is like by scaring the crap out of them. And then maybe he’s caught flirting with Kyojuro? Just a thought. You’re awesome.

haha thank you, im glad you're enjoying! and yeah actually some of that is in the plans already. 🫡 i've got a bullet point that hakuji uses his demon form to help train the hashira and kyo mb gets kind of flustered about it LOL. alas, the training arc is far, far off in the future. 🥲 hopefully we get there!

I just wanted to invade your ask box to say: omg? this is the au ever? like, it has renkaza, it has emails, it has swords, basically everything a good story needs! i read it several times over the course of under an hour and definitely will be keeping tabs on it like it’s my favorite fanfic. Hope you’re doing well and working on the comics at your own pace, i know it’s no easy task to make them lol!

hi! thank you so much im glad you like it! 😭🙏💖 im really happy to hear you say so, and to see all the love this has been getting despite the sudden hiatus.

speaking of, im also really grateful for your patience. 🥲 this month has been kind of a shitshow in terms of creative projects; my tablet suddenly bricked and then i got sold the wrong tablet so i had to exhange my new stuff, and i had a bunch of other deadlines pushed back as a result. plus i lost my template and brushes for this webcomic so ive had to rebuild some stuff. 😅

im almost done catching up, after which i'll at least finish this "arc" (i think there's about three strips left?) and then i'l prob take another break to properly plan the entertainment district stuff, cuz i realized i'm prob gonna move it away from the red light district. idk how yet tho; my ideas have included maid cafe (so inotanzen can still go "undercover"), daki being some sort of popular influencer who organizes fan meets where people lowkey go missing, or she could even be an idol who only does night-time shows (and can u imagine if muzan had douma run some sort of agency and daki's one of his most popular products? hmmm will think more!).

tl;dr - thank you so much for all the support and patience! hopefully see yall in the first week of august. 🥲

[sshcomic]

hey yall, running late with this week as well. my ipad died so everything got pushed back while i tried to solve this. and yes i did lose all my procreate wips lol. 🥲

i suppose this post can serve as a reminder to back your things up aha. hoping to post the next strip first week of july latest!

EDIT: first week of july was a garbage fire. will try my best to get this out when i can, prob in the next two weeks, but can't confirm anything for now bc of some unforseen stuff taking precedence. 😅 thanks for ur patience!

[sshcomic]

Just an idea- Hakuji using his blood demon art to kill something and the upper moon kanji temporarily showing up and everyone freaks.

i dont think the kanji would show up bc he's ditched muzan and got rid of his curse blood with tamayo's help, so he's very much separate from the kizuki but maybe i have far-off plans of his demon markings making an appearance. :P it's quite far off from where we are tho!

re: the reveal that he was an upper moon, i honestly think it'd be funnier to play it off as a joke hahaha. like, final battle muzan will say something about it and disparage how he used to be such a high rank and look how far he's fallen, and then the hashira--who at this point all love and respect hakuji--would sweat a little about it. like, the guy we let into our homes was upper moon two?????

(idk when douma joins up but i was thinking maybe he does it after hakuji's already left? timeline shaky! i'm still planning.)

[sshcomic]

Kyojuro feeling Hakuji's bloodlust doing a VERY sharp spike : uh oh dad's in danger (at this point he's not sure who he's protecting from who anymore)

(also, boo. Shinjuro didn't get his nose broken :( how sad)

(also also : I just really really really really love this au a lot!!!!)

haha yeah kyo's definitely not in a fun position at the moment. 😂 his dad's wavin' around a broken sword that the (cute) demon teacher broke with his bare hand and like, he doesn't want anyone to get stabbed or bleed or anything, but with the way this is going... agh. stress! and he still needs to smile so his little brother isn't too worried!

also lol we'll see about shinjuro getting his nose broken or not. this conversation's still going!

i'm so happy you like this au btw! thanks for the ask. 🥰🥰

[sshcomic]

yep, just a teacher!

[sshcomic]

drama? in my light-hearted 4-koma? more likely than u think.

< prev | masterlist | next >

[sshcomic]

[sshcomic]

Hello!! Would it be possible for me to write a fic inspired by your webcomic? I love it so much and it got my creative juices going! I would ofc link your comic to it and tbh not sure where I would take the story I haven’t planned anything out yet

But if it’s something you would not want me to post, I would simply not (or maybe make it a looser inspiration/ tweak it if I really got into it?)

Anyways, love your art! It has motivated the creative in me <33 :]

oh, of course you can! im honoured haha :') if you ever get it posted, please link it to me!

this goes for anything that anyone might create inspired by ssh, i'd love to see it for sure 🥰

[sshcomic]

hakuji finally gets to fight his crush! 👊💥🎉 also, happy solar eclipse day :)

< prev | masterlist | next >

[sshcomic]

We all know know that Shinjiro is going to face some repercussions of his behaviour soon; my bet is on Tanjiro’s headbutt, but Akaza is definitely going give a good punch

we'll see haha! kyojuro is also there, which means he might be able to get between the two parties involved before it get physical 😂

also ngl ive been reading some kokushin fic recently, so i've been idly considering it 😂😂 but idk. im not even really focusing on other ships besides renkaza in this. still tho, cuz im curious:
