As for the inactivity,
I also want to apologize for being a little inactive on this blog! We were very sick for most of June and especially throughout July. As it started to ease up, we've been getting extreme pain in our eyes causing us to be a blind more often (due to our eyes being shut closed)
I'm alright at the moment, but because of that, we honestly just have not been on tumblr often, and have been focusing on gathering commissions to pay for various things, as well as our future art markets.
This blog is never forgotten! We just haven't been on tumblr enough to see mentions & fictive-like posts, unfortunately! But I see you all still reblog the jokes we find funny, and recommending us new things to look at. It's very sweet how you all still tag us, and I very much appreciate it. :)

I think I’m gonna go again this week! I’ll be using the @/kedreeva style wip wednesday game (find the original rules here), but i don’t have separate wips so they’re still only scenes 😅
Closed! 🥰
The results this week:
sought out 👑 (1) (2) (3) (4)
keep an eye 🌊 (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10)
royal au gen - getting a feel for a full fic 👀 (1) (2) (3) (4) and out of sequence/extra: (x) (x)
First snippet from keep an eye:
“Finally overextended yourself?” Andrew asked. Wymack shot him a look.
“You can try to blame me for the fact so many of you are having crises at once,” he returned. “Let me know how that works out for you.”
“My crisis does remain ongoing. Who else besides this turtle you’re going to see?”
Wymack sighed. “This one’s not a crisis,” he admitted. “I just haven’t checked on the jellyfish in a while, I want to make sure it’s still around.”
Andrew pursed his lips a little. “Jellyfish.”
“Don’t give me that tone,” Wymack said in his own half-hearted fatherly tone. “You - hm. I… haven’t mentioned it to you, have I.”
“I see jellyfish all the time,” Andrew said. “So do you. Are you so desperate for something to rescue that you’ve moved onto the brainless?”
Wymack nudged him lightly, but he was still so much bigger that Andrew was knocked completely off course for a second. He ran into the whale’s side in retaliation. Wymack hardly reacted.
“I’ve already done that,” Wymack said pointedly, and Andrew narrowed his eyes. “No, it’s not just a jellyfish. There’s been a whole jelly mer around here recently, not even too far off.”

adding to my tags because i’ve been thinkin a lot about the post i just reblogged and have more thoughts:
i’ll be real, the more i saw ‘hey adhd influencers are so annoying’ the more i worried that i was unconsciously contributing to the spreading reputation of adhd folks as annoying and over-pathologizing every symptom they experience
and then i realized. i am not a goddam influencer or life coach or representative. obviously i have some obligation as someone who cares about myself and the people that like my comics to not spread harmful ideology or blatant misinformation but i never intended myself to be a “’increase your productivity!!’ blog OR a ‘if you have XYZ you have adhd!’ blog. and i do this for fun, and originally started this blog bc i had a lot of internalized shame and self loathing about my adhd and thought if i could make it funny i might have less of that. let’s get real! and it worked!
i’ve obviously done this kind of thing— (hey these symptoms might be adhd!) a lot before in my life & on this blog, but there’s more to it than trying to be an “influencer” or whatever. a term that didn’t even exist when i started this blog!
i felt very isolated trying to find out if i had any mental problems & what have you originally because of large advice (etc) blogs with staunchly anti self Dx views at the time
so i overcorrected when i DID get dxed and tried to validate everyone who was like me. and of course. not the best course of action always for the ol mental health. tried to be the source of positivity and jokes that i didn’t see because the online adhd presence was near non-existent.
and anyway. i make a lot of fun of myself & the way m brain works in my comics obviously but it is not my obligation to... how do you say.... not be annoying online.
because if folks interpret MY little jokes as a strict guide to diagnosis. that’s on them, really, not me. i also believe “making adhd your entire personality” is a non-issue. so what if people find out they have it and get over excited with identifying as adhd. saying this as someone who DID do it. criticism of this gives the same vibes as people being annoyed that young queers make “being queer” their whole personality. im very obviously more than a guy with adhd, and id reckon other adhd comic artists are too. (im friends with a lot of them!) it’s fine to post about it online.
anyway. i just don’t take myself too seriously and i’m a comic artist for myself first! and you know what, i’ve been considered annoying my entire life. what do i care if a few more folks think i’m annoying. neurotypical or not
