I don't know why I don't get any kind of notifications on tumblr anymore but eeeeeee I STILL love this so much <333333

[kicsterash]

are you gonna change the AU after episode 9 comes out or keep it the way you wanted with a few references to the final episode?

Nope, not changing it! The only things that may affect the story will be Ribbit and Kaufmo's roles in Jax' past. I sort of have an idea already, but whatever happens can help me solidify it.

I already have a feeling what will happen in Episode 9, but since my AU takes place in an open world and not inside a digital land created by an AI, the outcomes and relationships are different.

Hopefully that won't deter anyone from reading though!

My entry for my friend's DTIYS on instagram :) Hope you all like it!

Magma drawing from yesterday.

So since a lot of people asked when I started part 1 how many chapters there were, I decided to count them this time for Part 2. Counting the ones already out, there will be 19 chapters. Debating on either lengthening chapters or else doubling postings, but I don't want to overwhelm readers.

That being said, Chapter 19 is a bigun. Slightly lengthwise, but mostly plot-wise, for our dear Jester Bard. I have hinted in the past that this Part involves parallels with Episode 6 of TADC, so make of that what you will ;)

on a scale of 1-10, how much funnybunny angst will there be in the coming parts. your writing style is so delightful i feel like a rabid animal. i can’t get enough of this AU

I don't write stories or dynamics with angst in mind. It just happens, the situations create it. Arguments between two characters isn't angst, and everything these guys will be going through isn't what I would call angst, or at least not between them

Folks gotta remember that Funnybunny is incredibly platonic until the VERY end of the story. I'll have hints of them growing feelings for each other, but it's not the focus, nor is it what drives their friendship. Or the Angst ^^;

Hi Ash!

I’m a huge TADC fan and DND player and love the concept of your AU! I was curious about the specific subclasses of the cast, I know you mentioned Ragatha was a nature cleric, but what of the others?

Aw thanks! Happy you like it!

I don't dig into DnD lore too much ^^; More like, I dip my toes into it. I'm not a pro, hence why aside from the roles and a few creatures and items/spells, the fic is more fantasy based, and DnD inspired. There are so many classes already, that digging into sub-classes stressed me out haha!

Gangle is a Battlesmith Artificer (I think??), hence the Iron Defender Disappearing Guy (He doesn't show up in Part 2 but he will make appearances in the rest of the story), but everyone else just... does their own thing XD Hence why Zooble is a rogue but carries three different axes on their person. The only character who multi-classes is Jax, and even then, he still refers to himself as a ranger, over sorcerer.

Hopefully this clears it up! I mostly enjoy DnD for the fantasy/adventure aspect of it, which is why my friends and I discussed the character's classes. But I'm open to adding subclasses to the others! I do have a sequel to this giant 6-parter (not nearly as long), but I'm trying not to think about it until I can at least get through this one first XD

Here's the third comic in the Open World AU. I decided it would be more interesting if the cast also had some limited ability to conjure and worldcraft, so I wanted to explore that. This comic is both the longest I've done yet and is the most involved painting-wise. I hope it was worth the wait!

For @kicsterash

The Amazing Traveling Circus - it is SO interesting and inspiring AU! I love DnD theme, and I like the way the characters' relationships are shown here.

I'm looking forward to the second fanfic in the series!

[kicsterash]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! CURSE Tumblr for not notifying me, it frustrates me so much T_T I love this piece!!

[kicsterash]

Heya KicsterAsh! Having watched your works for quite some time, I always wanted to say your artworks look so smooth, expressive and wonderful! 😊

I also enjoy your Amazing Digital Circus art, too! 🥰

Aww thank you so much!! I truly appreciate the compliments <333333

[kicsterash]

Are you going to see the last episode/movie in theaters?

yep :) But there will be no spoilers from me online, at least not until after it airs on youtube. So you'll be safe here

[kicsterash]

Hi! It's me, and I came with promised...TATC NECKLACES!

Cause yeah, I've got a little too carried away and made few haha. That's how much this AU inspires me.

Hope you like them!

And about these with qr codes, well, heh, I had reeeeally hard time deciding which masterpieces to put on necklace and I was like "UGH if only I could put whole fanfic on it" and then was like "WAIT A SECOND" haha let me know what you think

I love them! They look great :)

[kicsterash]

Hiii! I just wanted to show you this drawing that I made of the TATC I hope you like it 😁

[imma-kinda-gay-artist]

Fanart for @kicsterash and their amazing traveling circus au!! It's a great fanfic!! Check it out!!

[smallpwbbles]

Horrendous scheduling aside, I’m side eyeing that Jax conjuring horrible things idea I had so hard cuz of the things in this poster

[crow-keys]

NO SHOT THIS POSTER WAS LEGIT??????

[kicsterash]

Cineplex in Canada says that tickets will be available at the end of April so fingers crossed it goes to Winnipeg but like.... the scheduling for this is SO terrible. KPopDH released it on Netflix before putting it in theatres, why can't it be that way with this?

However the poster is legit screwing with my mind lmao
