I will have a new chapter done this weekend. Hopefully tomorrow. It's done actually—I'm just letting the bulk of it settle in my brain before I commit to the submit button.

I had to stop drawing this today bc I was getting super lazy with the bun braid lineart to the point it was looking messy.
I do need to figure out how to draw his braids quicker, so that I may draw my boi more often. But this is gonna be his debut part of the comic I'm making.
As an adult I get why I landed in intensive math for one year in highschool. That teacher could prove I was at the right level. I wasn’t dumb — my regular math teacher just couldn’t explain it in a way an autistic girl could understand, even when I stayed after school for help.

Tough on both sides.
26.10.2025 18:40 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just learned what homoflexible means, and I feel it fits Ekho very well. Bisexual/pansexual didn't feel right.
He's 90% gay. Biologically male, no matter how they present.
The 10% left over explains the occasional straying into the territory of relations with the other genders.
I haven't not written in the last week but I haven't been focused on it or posting a new chapter. Have a WIP of Ekho!! I find drawing millions of hearts to get the braids drawn quickly, and on a smaller scale, is somehow the method to this madness. #art #wip #hellaverse
25.10.2025 15:13 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Still reeling from this today. It's taken me 5 months to write chapter 74-104. 53,000+ words. I finally got my husband, who writes for Catoblepas (who wasn't involved in this arc at all), to read it all so he's caught up.
It took him 1 DAY.
Fuck he's fast at reading.
I know I desperately need to do research into the Bible to contrast the lore I've been coming up with for Hell, but I'm 33 yrs into life & I don't know if I want to be enlightened to how it's supposed to be understood & realize how misconstrued it has been by people I've known 😩

23.10.2025 17:54 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Losing my blender file of Ekho's horns wrecked my world for a full week. I spent 8+ hours making it again. Back-ups to my email, husband's & mom's email. GDrive, discord to my husband and 2 friends. Might even burn it to fuckin' disc. I am not losing this shit again lol
23.10.2025 06:51 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Can someone explain with windows updates how programs uninstall themselves? Files are removed?
I don't uninstall Blender/OBS in the off chance I want to make/record something.
Both programs are missing, and all my files related to the programs.
Gonna check system restore ffs
I KNOW how to make bread. I don't WANT to. I don't get PAID for making my own bread. I don't feel BETTER making my own bread. It's another CHORE.
I know I'm paying for convenience but I literally cannot have gluten. It is not a trend. Still costs twice as much for half the buns.
Been house-hunting in Florida since 2014. Cheapest one I’ve found in 2025 is $5k trailer in a 55+ park. I’m 33, so only 22 more years till I qualify for affordable housing!
And even then, it’s $700/month for lot rent even if you “own” it. What a joke. Florida is such a joke lmao
My sleep schedule is fucked up but hey, I won 3,500 points for 7-Eleven by doing those surveys now and then.

Maybe no new chapter this Friday—I'm getting used to a medication I was supposed to be taking every day.
Instead I'm trying to get back into the habit of art. Have a messy sketch from a little comic I'm working on with Poppy and Ekho interacting.

Without trying to dox myself, I wanted to share this. My town had to put out a notice on "if you're technically a part of the city based on where you are"
They turned off comments to the post because what in the gerrymandered fuck is this? Saw at least 5 crying laughing reacts.
Finally finished this art of Ekho, and gave him a make-up/face paint look. I'm so much more proud of this horn design than the previous ideas. I can actually imagine drawing him again.

Songs on the radio today with lyrics I just heard in this order:
"I'll kill myself to save my soul"
And then when that ended:
"Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend."
Guys can we not???
Stepped on the bathroom floor & it caved in. Sat in a chair & pushed it through a wall—someone had covered a hole with painted cardboard. Landlord wants $200 per issue if I want her to fix them. Ma’am, this is why the last tenants stuffed a mop head down the toilet.

Then I remember a few weeks ago how the cashier of my local 7-Eleven wanted to fight some dude with earbuds in & a backpack on at midnight.
I just wanted the pumpkin Peelerz. I'm still not over that.
Surprise wrap-up chapter before Ekho takes Naomi/Johnathan back to Hell. There’s more before we hit a chapter based on what I wrote 4 yrs ago for Charlie/Vaggie.
Updated the warning for Chapter 98.

I’ve been questioned about my autism diagnosis online more times than I can count, and I’ve only had it for about six months. (Autism, of course, is lifelong.) [2/2]

Internalized echolalia of the day: Transcendental Cha Cha Cha by Tom Cardy
Specifically the part that goes like this: "Now it's a dog, now it's a cat, it's everything and nothing it's a baseball bat."
That part of the song on repeat in my head for days.
Chapter 102! Warning! This will appear to go downhill fast for Johnathan being forced into things against his will, but I promise it doesn't go too far.
I haven't decided on music for this chapter yet.

I didn't make the original, the first image. But I needed to make the next three for some reason and I spent way too long on this. #tadc #theamazingdigitalcircus #digitalcircus
