Read My Dear Demon | Tapas Web Community

Read My Dear Demon and more premium Gl Community series now on Tapas!

Finally posted pages to this comic idea I've been toying with for literal YEARS 🤩😈

If you want to read a demon girlfriend themed comic, set in a sleepy Massachusetts town inspired by the 2000s, then I invite you to check this comic out!

[funkytoesart]

I just posted the first few pages of my sapphic demon girlfriend comic!

Yay!

[padmesthreads]

A few years prior to the events of A New Hope, a young woman named Mara Jade, under the guise of a unimportant Imperial recruit, leads an special operation to Tatooine to hunt down any remaining Jedi that may be hiding on the planet.

While there, she meets and befriends a young man her age named Luke, who sparks the first seed of change in Mara's loyalty towards the Empire.

--

Aka if I were to ever write a Mara Jade centered fic that takes place in the new canon,, where Mara is masquerading as your average child solder on Tatooine, but secretly the leader of her squad/operation, and Luke is the '"dorky farm boy" (her words) who is "kinda cute" (Again, her words) that she befriends and kinda falls for,,

More to story than just that lol, and it would take place both when Luke and Mara are around 15/16 or so, and then the story would pick up again later after the events of the Return of the Jedi :)

anyway, just a silly fic idea of mine haha

Claire Nuñez is Arcadia's Oaks' best detective, and while she thinks her assistant, Jim Lake Jr, is kinda cute, she doesn't give him too much second thought beyond the fact that he's a good assistant/trainee.

They're working on a series of homicide cases--that seem to be connected to each other, and as Claire uncovers more and more to these strange and horrific cases, the more she's starting to realize there's something sinister and unnatural to them. A dark world that humans are blissfully ignorant of.

Jim Lake Jr, on the other hand, has a major crush on his boss and superior, Claire Nuñez--one might even say he's in love with her--and both his feelings and his job gets complicated when the cases they're working on not only uncovers the secret underground world he, as a changeling/half-troll and the Trollhunter, is sworn to protect but starts to suspiciously point blame at said alter ego, the Trollhunter.

Now Jim is tasked with finding out the true culprit of these murders, clear his name before the girl he loves discovers what he really is, or worse, thinks he's responsible, and stop the human world from finding out about the world of trolls...

Yo so as I start rewatching Trollhunters, I'm definitely feeling a STRONG pull towards turning this idea into a proper fan comic. Old art but I did do a mini comic on the idea here.

idk, are there still Trollhunters fans out there? Would y'all like to see a fan comic by me of this au idea I had ages ago???

Disclaimer tho lol I kinda am avoiding watching the rise of the titans, and at this point I'm not sure I wanna watch it ever, but this fan comic is an au anyway sooooooo

VOTE !

Yes DO IT!

Nah, not interested/the fandom is dead

Might open up commissions again soon? 👀

So I'm thinking in the next few weeks I might open up commissions again. If I do, I'd love to know what y'all would be most interested in me offering 🤔 Note: I can't see who votes, so voting is merely me gauging general interest, it will NOT lock you into getting a commission from me eventually or ever! Same goes for replying in the comments if you do :)

(Examples of my art presented below the poll!)

What would you be most interested in commissioning me for?

Character art (poses, simple interactions, busts, etc)

Full illustrations

Comic pages (of your original story or fanfiction, etc)

More general concept art (props/environment design/character design/etc)

2 or *more* of these options

None! I'm not interested in commissioning you :)

Voting ended onApr 13

Thanks for voting if you do! I'll probably end up offering all or most of these options but I'm just gauging interest in general :)

EXAMPLES OF MY ART :)

[funkytoesart]

Boosting from my LOTR side blog! I hope to be offering commissions soon. Vote if you'd like! No pressure to order a commission if you vote tho. It's just me gauging general interest :)

Deya Nuñez-Lake, my Jlaire fan baby as a older teen/young adult! She absorbed a lot of her mother's shadow magic in utero (hence her hair slowly turning white), and also grew up around trolls (and gets cursed by an ancient troll artifact at some point?!?).

I hope to draw more Trollhunters fanart (including more art of Deya the II) soon! :)

This was painted in my sketchbook. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I messed up her blush paint color lol, it dried a lot darker than I intended 🫣

Process video (in short form video format cross posted from social media) under the cut :)

Claire Nuñez is Arcadia’s Oaks’ best detective, and while she thinks her assistant, Jim Lake Jr, is kinda cute, she doesn’t give him too much second thought beyond the fact that he’s a good assistant/trainee.

They’re working on a series of homicide cases–that seem to be connected to each other, and as Claire uncovers more and more to these strange and horrific cases, the more she’s starting to realize there’s something sinister and unnatural to them. A dark world that humans are blissfully ignorant of.

Jim Lake Jr, on the other hand, has a major crush on his boss and superior, Claire Nuñez–one might even say he’s in love with her–and both his feelings and his job gets complicated when the cases they’re working on not only uncovers the secret underground world he, as a changeling/half-troll and the Trollhunter, is sworn to protect but starts to suspiciously point blame at said alter ego, the Trollhunter.

Little comic for my Changeling/Half-Troll Jim + Detective Claire Jlaire au 🥰 which i totally want to turn into an actual fan comic one day--let me know if any of you would be interested in reading that haha :')

The Breaking of the Waves

Ch2 | Page 24

I made a comic fury site for The Breaking of the Waves! Yay! It'll post there a few days ahead of Tumblr.

Or you can read the newest page on Tapas here.

married Jim and Claire picking up their daughter Deya (as well as Enrique) from school 💖

[funkytoesart]

do you still like trollhunters?

Yeah!!! I do! In fact, this ask just triggered me to start watching it again haha. It's admittedly been years since I last watched anything trollhunters/tales of Arcadia related, and I haven't seen the Rise of Titan whatever it's called (and I'm not sure I'll ever watch it lol). I did feel like the show(s)/movie started to lose traction/it's own footing and lose writing quality by the end, often at the expense of previous plot/character development and former victories/achievements.

However, I in particular love the Trollhunters show!! Now I'm itching to draw fanart for it again lol! I wonder how the fandom is doing lately.

Is it relatively active? or pretty quiet? Would anyone like to see some Trollhunters fanart from me in this day and age of 2026 lol?

Aka Sir Alan Cooper (son of George and Alanna, twin brother of Alianne Crow) and my Elemental OC Ammë!

Ammë was created after her father, Chitral, gave the Dominion Jewel to Alanna. However, the young elemental was never satisfied living in the Roof of the World, secluded from the human world, for despite her father forbidding her spirit to go amongst the humans, for reasons he would never divulge, Ammë developed a deep desire to live amongst the humans as a human herself.

When she saves Sir Alan Cooper from certain death while he was traveling the Chitral Pass, bonding the two together, her father reluctantly grants her a human body and the permission to travel the human world, so long as Sir Alan accompanies her as her guide...

Aka, my "The Little Mermaid" *inspired* Tortall fic/fancomic (?) that I really want to write one day!!

When ur girlfriend is an elemental spirit, the daughter of Chitral and sister to the Dominion Jewel... and she can literally descend from the wings of the wind into ur arms 🥹

Aka Sir Alan Cooper (son of George and Alanna, twin brother of Alianne Crow) and my Elemental OC Ammë

I hope to write a fic and/or a fancomic for their story soon :D

Basically, she was created to keep her father company in the absence of the dominion jewel, but always dreamed of entering the human realms as a human herself. Her father tasks Alan with being her guide through the human world, granting her a human body so she can fully experience the trials and joys of humanhood. So despite being created from a drop of essence from Chitral's own spirit, as a human she does has some limitations on her powers :) Still pretty powerful tho. Just not as much as she would be if she wasn't in a human body, as the limitations of human magic apply to her to a degree in this form.

[funkytoesart]

Sir Alan Cooper of Pirate's Swoop, son of Alanna the Lioness and twin brother of Alianne Crow. Made his hair I think a touch too red oh well lol.

Hoping to make a fancomic (maybe!!) with him as a main character alongside my elemental oc Ammë (daughter/creation of the elemental Chitral) 🤗

[funkytoesart]

potentially my most controversial Tortall original character(s) lol ...

Conceived during a one-time youthful dalliance between a young noblewoman of Galla and the (then) Crown Prince Jonathon of Conte (well before he ever met Thayet) Gia had a less than desirable upbringing by her conservative Gallan family. As a bastard, whose mother died in childbirth, her maternal family broke tradition and raised her until it was announced that Jonathon and Thayet were to marry, and they dashed any hopes of having a Gallan controlled heir on the Tortall throne. She was sent away at a young age, her upbringing funded by the family, but shunned from them.

She grew up to be an excellent healer and herbalist, but when she was still a young woman, living on the border near Scanra, she was assaulted during a Scanran raid and her daughter Ranna was later born. After this, despite the nature of the child's birth, Gia's maternal family abandoned her entirely, cutting her off from whatever meager financial support they had once allotted to her.

Ranna was not born with significant powers, except for an average powered Gift, but when she was only three years old, a meteor fell from the sky, and little Ranna touched it, absorbing it's energy, gaining celestial powers, and nearly dying in the process. Thankfully, she was nursed back to health by her mother.

Eventually the two travel to Corus, because Gia needs help learning how to help her young daughter learn to control her abundant and out of control powers, seeking help from the Tortall University of Magic and Harailt of Aili (and they fall in love??? yes lol)

This is when Jonathon finds out about his daughter, which does cause a slight falling out between him and George Cooper (who knew some of Gia's story already, and was aware Jonathon had a child before Thayet but didn't say anything until Gia's entry into Corus).

And that is where the story begins 👀

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

[elucubrare]

#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”

REALLY endorsing these tags from galileosballs
