Currently in sleep mode

Because a little self-indulgent comic work detailing the life of a medic who gets yeeted through time and space into ancient Hisui is just what I need to do with my life right now. No epic world saving, no going toe to toe with frenzied noble pokemon (her knees are too bad for that). Plenty of self-discovery, forged friendships, kleptomaniac Sneasels, and learning to accept and even embrace the insanity life can throw at you. This is Mari’s story.

I WILL return to it, but for now, there will be no updates.

I’m curious what’s the game series that released a new game after 10 yrs?

Like- I love pokemon, and it's definitely been a fav for longer as far as media franchises I enjoy are concerned

But

DRAGON AGE. MAN.

It's genuinely probably going to be at the forefront of my mind a bit (I have dumped over 400 hours into it since November over like- 5 playthroughs and I am still completely enthralled). If folks want to keep up with what I'm up to while this comic is in sleep mode, or ask any further questions- I'd recommend my art blog, @ann-chovi! Ideally, I'd like to keep the feed on the comic blog strictly to updates when I have them- so as not to clog anyone's dash if they're not interested in my other stuff~♡

I haven't dropped this comic, and do fully intend to come back to it (I have so much outlined haha) but yeah- THIS is where my focus is at the moment.

IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE THE LAST UPDATE I AM SO SORRY :'DDDD

Moving took a lot more out of me than I thought! (Arceus above we are STILL unpacking and getting settled) BUT!!! I wanted to share a quick little bit of progress on the next page! Redirect is far from abandoned, and I am in fact hard at work on getting Chapter 3 wrapped up! Thank you all for your patience (and hello hello to the newcomers!) I can't say for sure when updates will start back up- but I'm AIMING for October 22nd. Work at my day job has slowed down considerably, and I have more free time to devote to this, so I want to try and get the comic back on its 10 day update schedule. Keep an eye out- and thank you thank you thank you all for sticking around!

[pkmn-redirect]

Okay- so CLEARLY updating on the 22nd didn't work out. :'D

COMIC WILL UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 1ST. FOR SURE. IT'S SCHEDULED.

The page is done- I just really would like to have a second one ready to go so I have a buffer before updates resume properly! Going to try to move back to the previous update schedule of the 1st, 11th, and 22nd of each month since things seem to be stabilizing in my daily life. Thank you all for your patience- and see you soon!

(shoutout to @alubearsworld for the hilarious gif that I never get a chance to use aaahahaha)

Just a heads-up that I'll be taking the next update off! I'm moving to a new place and unfortunately that's going to take a LOT of time and energy to get done. The comic will be back in a few weeks though! HOPEFULLY this will be the last interruption that chapter 3 gets- we're so close to the end of it!

Hey anon- just wanted to let you know that I got the biggest kick out of this ask when you sent it- knowing full well that your question would be answered on the following page. Here we are! He's really just irritated at having to pick them all back up!

Honestly, it didn't make much sense to me in PLA that you COULDN'T go and retrieve pokeballs that missed their mark- sooooo... I changed that. Certain gameplay mechanics just don't make a whole lot of narrative sense outside of a videogame I think. So there will be a few tweaks here and there in the story, just to make things make more sense- and this is one of them! Good job calling it ahead of time!

Thanks so much for sticking around!

(Also, as like- a side note re: anons- while I don't publish answered asks on their own to keep the flow of the blog smooth- I have recieved some very kind and thoughtful commentary and I just wanted to say thank you! They live in my inbox and make me smile every time I read them♡)

We're back! Aaaand... with a new (hopefully temporary) update schedule! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get as far ahead as I would have liked during the month off (June was BUSY). July is looking to be a bit on the hectic side as well- so instead of taking ANOTHER month off, I'm giving myself a bit more breathing room between updates. For now, pkmn-Redirect will post a new page every other Monday instead of the usual 1st, 11th, and 22nd of the month.

Hopefully things will calm down in a couple of months, and we can get back to the other schedule, but for now- thank you for your patience in these delays! All aboard for the rest of Chapter 3!

(Also, complete nonsequiter- can you believe I started this comic 2 whole years ago??? BECAUSE I SURE CAN'T.)

...in July!

Hey guys- after thinking about it and weighing my options- the comic will be taking a month long break so I can do some catch-up / see to more irl obligations than usual over the next month. I'm going to continue working on the comic in that time, but not posting so I can re-build a back log will be extremely helpful.

Updates are planned to pick back up on Monday, July 1st at 9AM PST. Updates MAY end up going to once every two weeks instead of once every 10 days (it's a busy summer, oof)- but we'll see where things are at when we get there. Either way, I'll be sure to let you all know what's up!

Thanks so much for your patience- have a good June- and we'll be back in a month!

Just a heads-up that I'm probably going to be taking a couple of weeks off here pretty soon? Heck, it might even be next update- not sure yet. I have a lot going on this summer and work is going to be hitting me with overtime in the next month or so. Redirect will still be getting worked on in that time for sure, I just want to try and rebuild a backlog for all the time that I won't have to spend on this in the coming weeks. :'D tldr; There will for sure be something in the feed on June 1st, it just might be a short hiatus notice instead of a page. (I'm really really trying to avoid going to a once-every-two-weeks schedule- but I just don't have the time/energy to work on it during the weekdays like I did at my last job augh)
