Things That Go Bump

A comic about learning to accept that darkness comes with a little light, and light brings darkness, too.

First day of inktober, and I got it done! Chopper is lost in sad memories, while holding a bowl of mushrooms, and the ghost of Hiriluk has come to comfort him.

The latest update of Things That Go Bump, based on an unfortunate assault in my home that my son and I experienced that led to me getting three staples in my arm. Lilith is here in all her glory, taking no shit, but still anxious and wanting to protect her kids (Damina is probably in her room). I can definitely see where Wendy Pini and Eiichiro Oda have influenced my style, but I'm ok with that. Enjoy, my spawn!

One very tired #wildparent without doing anything besides throwing my hair into a very messy braid. #parents out there, it doesn't matter what you look like. Your kid, human or #furkid, will think you're three most gorgeous thing ever.

My bracelets and things left an impression on my leg while I was reading, and it looks surprisingly like code. I might turn it into something, who knows?

My #Apollo finally has his official #workharness! I need to redo the patches (the ones that came with say 'service dog'). He's not exactly thrilled about it, but he'll manage. Here's to the #emotionalsupportanimal that has made my life so much more liveable. #emotionalsupportcat #ESA #catsagram #catsofinstagram #orangetabby #workinganimals #notjustapet #furkid

This one was #wildboys favorite. It's my long awaited Slytherin seal, and I think my #creativespawn picked just the right colors. #oldskills #oldschoolfun #dontletthemagicdie

#Wildboy made a wax seal with my L. He picked out the colors puff wax for all these seals. #oldskills #oldschoolfun #dontletthemagicdie

The rose seal I got for my Dahlia, that #Wildboy learned to make as part of learning about old skills that should not be forgotten. #wildparent #dontletthemagicdie #oldskills

Teaching #wildboy how to make wax seals and then doing a mini photo shoot with them. #wildparent #oldschoolfun #dontletthemagicdie

Piedmont will have absolutely no clue how to handle Post-Weirdmaggedon Dipper and Mabel.

The neighborhood kids play hide and seek and they’re hanging out on some random roof. You can’t beat them if you can’t reach them, suckas.

They’re outside every hour of the day. Literally. If you happen to be outside at two in the morning you might find them mid-magic hunt. Why not? Ford always said to take advantage of your insomnia for science.

Once some teenagers performing some weird Halloween hazing the Pines kids absolutely wrecked them. They literally have no chill.

For that matter, if you look Mabel in the eye, rumors say, you immediately have to play a game of cards with her. Never take pocket change anywhere near their street.

The pig goes with them. That’s final.

They say Dipper Pines has a six pack. They say he’s shredded. They saw he’s got a scar across the belly from fighting off a pack of wolves with his fists.

All the doors in the world are open if you know how to pick locks… Not that they’re saying they can. That’s implementing themselves in multiple unsolved crimes, and that would be stupid.

Feel free to add your own!

Mabel starts leaving handmade jewelry around their school, their neighborhood, the local grocery store. People who know her are afraid to touch them but strangers pick up these little wire and yarn doodads and find themselves having some very good luck.

There’s a rumor that that kid who always falls asleep in class couldn’t sleep at night because a ghost was haunting him. One night they find out that Dipper got in trouble for breaking into his house in the dead of night. That kid stops falling asleep in class.

On all their homework and tests, they leave behind red ink eyes crossed out with an X. One of Mabel’s classmates asked her why and she looked up front, at their Trigonometry teacher and said, just in case.

Dipper listens to a death metal band called Robbie V and the Tombstones. No one can find their songs anywhere, but if you ask he’s happy to lend you his CDs.

Mabel remembers everything, about everyone. She’s the only one who remembers the birthdays of the kids with no friends and she shares happy memories when her peers are upset about a grade or family stuff. She writes down little details in a pink glittery notebook, so that no one will ever forget.

Dipper and a group of his classmates went on a field trip in the woods. When Dipper disappeared for several hours, the teachers panicked, but he appeared at their bus a few hours later, having collected all the data he needed for his bio lab and toting a jar filled with multicolored moths. He’s banged up, but he doesn’t seem to notice. When someone asks where he got them, he says “Mothman” and doesn’t answer any more questions.

Mabel makes a tidy profit off of Mabel Juice during final exam season. Half their graduating class will swear by it all through high school even if it does taste terrible. (The arrest rate for stimulant drug use drops close to zero.)

#THE CRYPTID HUNTERS HAVE FINALLY BECOME THE CRYPTIDS

Of course Mabel and Dipper know Mothman they went to Hebrew school together in the summer when the twins were staying in Gravity Falls.

My emotional support animal is amazing on the 4th of July. I have PTSD that’s triggered by loud booms and explosions, and Apollo comforts me so much.

But sometimes, you win. Introducing Luc, the representation of my masculine- identified self. He's pretty chill.

Trying to get a business started when you have low self esteem.

The problems with depression and anxiety. I worry I'll break everything I touch.

I’m starting to understand my gender identity a bit better, so meet the hosts of my upcoming comic, ‘Little Bits of Chaos', Loki and Luc. You’ll be seeing moor of them soon!
