An Announcement.

hey everyone! I'm going to make this post short and blunt. I am removing myself from the henry stickmin fandom, and CtB will be put on an indefinite hiatus. This is being done for a multitude of reasons, Including the fact that college will be starting for me in the fall, and due to how college works, i won't have the time to work on this, and the fact that i'm no longer passionate about THSC in the first place. Every time i drag myself back to it, it's incredibly forced.

you really can't make something to make others smile if you can't find anything in it that makes yourself smile.

in about a day's time i will have this blog hidden. It'll stay up though, as an archive. None of this is being done lightly, But for the sake of my own health it's the best option. thank you for reading<3

OH MY GOD I COMPLETELY MISSED THIS,,, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOODLING MY SILLY LITTLE MAN !!!!!<3333

style experiments for future updates :] ive been thinking a lot about ctb and some other things that come along with it(ramble will be under the read more NJLFEWNJFE) lately, soooo- any input on which style you guys like the most would be super helpful! <3 For future note, lineless is the fastest of the three in some ways, but my newer style is what i'm most comfortable in and what is the most streamlined.

ctb is a LOT for me, honestly. i've been through the heckin trenches thanks to this comic and there's been a lot of times where i've considered dropping it for good. Especially with the context in which i initially made the comic. i was in a huge depressive episode and i REALLY needed something to make me want to even get out of bed . While im definitely not that anymore and I never feel a requirement to work on ctb, it still feels a bit...sad . that i made this comic this way. and to vent out my horrible mental state(trust me the first version of ctb's plot was ROUGH.). I've lost a lot thanks to the journey this comic is- But i've also gained alot. And made a lot of friends that mean so much to me. But there's a voice in the back of my mind that won't shut up about finishing this. I've started it, and yeah, it's rough around the edges, but it's mine, and it's the first project of mine to ever gain traction and i've never been so grateful. I have promises to fulfil and ideas to throw at the wall. Henry and his silly little book won't leave me alone and past me deserves this closure. I didn't spend a full year and a half plotting this thing out just to throw it away, DAMNIT !! I want to get helping hands on ctb, and figure somethin out. Let's see where this goes :]

If you've read this huge ramble thank you so much for doing so<3

[closingthebookau]

I love this comic pls don't listen to the hate a lot of ppl support u ❗️❗️❗️❗️

don't worry I'm not listening to them<3 but it did make me realize how important it was for me to set a boundary with ctb, specifically that it's a hobby that I do for fun and when I am able to, which means there will naturally be periods where I'm just. Not working on it. ykno? thank you so much for the support!!<33

[closingthebookau]

I gib you as much luck as I can to survive life! Btw, I 100000% love your artstyle. The cartoony-ish style mixed in with a more human look is amazing and beautiful I justwannaeatitOMGAAAAAAA

-Eros

thank you!!<33333 trust me I've been doing a lot of things. Things I am very excited to share to the world either when it's time, when I'm ready, or when the people I'm working with and I agree that it's time. Life has genuinely been going great since I've graduated and while it's been a little bit stressful in a different way, it's been fun overall c: I've grown up a lot since<3

in the meantime tho while you're waiting, keep an eye on my youtube, I may or may not have some things coming up👁️👁️

[closingthebookau]

BEHOLD THE REAL WAY TO USE ANON!!!!1!

thank you!!<3 you are too! :D

hey gamers i do wanna say ! dont send anon hate to people over a comic not updating. whats wrong with you./lh ctb will come back when it comes back, as i'm currently busy with much bigger things like college, jobs, and also some much larger projects that is currently eating a lot of my free time. (it's been super worth it though, as its going great!!) ctb is a hobby of mine, something completely for fun that i do when i want to/am able to. i am not obligated to make ctb content constantly nor do i want to, or else the fun of it would be quickly reduced to null. thanks<3 I do the art pretty much entirely on my own too, so like. even when i do come back to work on ctb, it takes awhile to finish things. tdlr ! anon hate is stupid. ctb will be back when i decide its back, it's a fun hobby for me that i dont work on all the time. If you wanna see what the project that's been my main focus at the moment, go check out @glitch--rabbit! it was my fnaf side blog, but got rebranded for the project.<3 thanks to those who genuinely like ctb, and those who support me again!! Yall are great.

HEY GAMERSSSS IM GONNA DO ARTFIGHT THIS YEAR!! This year is a pure original story year for me- All of the characters are from a story I’ve been working on called Safe Haven! :D Due to . yknow. life, im gonna be really slow this year sadly :’) i am EMPLOYEED. but!!! besides that im SUPER excited for this year!<3 SEE YALL ON THE BATTLEFIELD

[closingthebookau]

Doin artfight this year :D!! well, as much as I can, that is<3

[closingthebookau]

Hihi!!!<33 This post is long! It’s a big update on what I've been up to lately. So, if you care to read, It’ll all be under the read more! If not, then all you gotta worry about is that more ctb will be coming soon, and when I get things set up, so will be the stream I promised! <3

Welcome to what’s basically a life update! Now that CtB is finally out of it’s prologue, I’m a bit more free to do things with this funny lil comic! However, To address the elephant in the room, yes, I did disappear from this tumblr for awhile! Initially I was just going to be gone for a couple of weeks(My trip was way more draining than intended! whoops!!) But it ended up being way longer than planned, since, well, a break was needed! I needed to really not think about CtB for awhile and do my own thing. I did still post, Obviously, But just not too much. It ended up being really really good for me, because I got the opportunity to make a LOT of things for fun, play games, work on some commissions, and also to just live life for awhile! (omg diablo 4 comes out soon , ,, , ,) I also finally got around to working on my passion project, a original story called Safe Haven, which will become something more public in due time once it’s ready. (I work on a lot of things at once can you tell NJDLEWNJW) It’s something I've been working on for years and I'm super excited to show it off when it’s ready!! Tons of friends of mine over the years have helped me shape this project into something special and i can’t thank them enough for it<3 Now onto what I promised: CtB behind the scenes stream will be something that will happen! I have a idea on what will be done on the stream too! I have to finish setting things up, though, and figure out a day, time, and where to even stream it. It’s a whole process but I'll figure it out! If there’s a preference for which streaming platform I should do this on, lemmie know! and FINALLY: Speaking of streaming. Kinda. uhhh . I’ve been inspired lately by many loved ones and friends and even my own girlfriend to start really doing youtube stuff. Not really as a job, because that’s not what I want to do, But as a hobby!! I also don’t know when this will be set into motion, But now that I have so much endorsement, It definitely feels like something to genuinely give a shot at. I hope whatever I make in the future brings a smile to your face!!<3 That’s all! If you read all of this, thank you so sosoososososoooo much for your support, love, and insane asks about putting pizza in Henry’s book. I hope you have a FANTASTIC day/night/morning/evening!!<33

[closingthebookau]

hey guys!!! While I'm currently out of town, I've been quietly planning something behind the scenes... and I'd like some feedback on it before I proceed with it!

I would love to do a CtB art stream! Either working on the next update, or a update on some ref sheets, or just miscellaneous art in general. That part I'm still deciding on. Either way, I thought it would be fun, and give everyone some more insight into how CtB is made!

Olive is gonna be in the stream too(obv), but hey maybe some other friends of mine will make an appearance one way or another KSJDJFHF we shall see!! Either way it WILL take a bit to set up. I'll have to make all of the assets and obviously make a pngtuber(which won't take long but yea). But that's pretty much it!!! Please lemmie know what y'all think!!<33

How would y'all feel about a CtB art stream? (Featuring me, Olive, and maybe some other friends in chat and or in stream?)

HELL YEA!!!

I might be interested?

Nah I'm good
