One night, when Maggie was 8 years old, she awoke up on the steps of a police station with nothing but the clothes on her back and no name to her memory
The rest of her childhood would be fraught with strange occurrences that kept her bouncing from foster home, to foster home. Maggie brought an atmosphere of unease to the various homes she was placed in as she could speak to people that no one else could see, and move objects with her mind
Each rejection caused her to become more cautious and withdrawn. But, eventually, Maggie found herself in the home of the Spenglers. Her new foster-parents, Warren and Nadine were able to break down these barriers Maggie had built up to protect herself and the family soon became a tight-knit unit. When her strange abilities manifested, they did their best to be understanding and tolerant of them. Eventually, the pair adopted Maggie as their own and they’ve been a strong and loving family ever since
I'm finally back on my writing game and polished off a chapter of Discordant in the last couple of hours. This chapter puts the total script wordcount at 16,000 words, and I'm gonna ride this wave as far as it'll take me.
I'm so glad to be working on this project and I'm so glad for everyone's patience as we get closer to putting it back online.
Maggie has been with me for a long long time. I still remember dreaming her up as a twelve year old me and she’s been one of my closest companions since. She is stalwart, she is kind, she’s powerful and she’s such an unassuming young woman that just wants the simplest things out of life
I love her dearly and I am so excited to get to be able to share her story
As January draws to a close, I hope the new year has been treating you all well. It sure has been a while since there was any activity on this blog. If you’re still here that’s wonderful and we appreciate your support! If you’ve been somewhat keeping up with us in other social media spaces, then you may know already that life really threw a whole lot of curve balls at us
The good news is that we're still here and Discordant has not been abandoned. It just went on an extended hiatus while we pulled ourselves together
I drew this months ago. I’ve known about the character for a few years and I thought for sure my friend Lyssa, who’s been writing the script for Discordant, must have read The Sandman. To my complete surprise they never have! So it was fun introducing them to it through the show.
YOU HAVE A WEB COMIC???? HELLOO???? how can I read it i gotta know
AAAAAAAHHHH!!! Yeah! It’s actually been on hiatus for a hot second because life hit me at 88 mph when I got divorced, BUT!! My good friend @bifrostedgalaxy and I are relaunching it on Halloween this October!!
You can find the prologue here though for a taste of things to come! We’ve also been putting out some promo art on Instagram @discordantcomic (which is also our tumblr too but we have neglected it recently, oops) if you wanted to check it out!
HM, If I had to pick one underrated thing, maybe it’s this little character featurette for Discordant.
It’s about the God of Whispers known as Murmur and I animated, edited and collaborated on it with Billy. It has my art and his art and I’m very happy with how it turned out despite the limitations of the apps I used to put it together. Editing is so much fun and I would love to make bigger and better things like it for the comic in the future 🖤
