@tseappreciationweek Day 6 (8/9/2025)

August 9: Kindness OR Free Day

Free Day/Kindness: I made this silly little edit back in May for my friend’s graduation so I’m posting it as my “free day”. It also serves as a little act of kindness by making and giving her a personal TSE graduation “card”.

This was such a fun week for my first time participating in TSE Appreciation Week! This year was very reflection/introspection heavy for me which I personally really appreciate and value, especially with how significant the prompts were to me and my journey so far. It was nice to relive some memories and be grateful/thankful that they happened, and this just felt this as my moment of gratitude/saying thanks to my journey. I do hope and plan that next year I’ll try to make and post more artworks to celebrate. Thank you to the Nerdarians who organized this and to Laura for making and sharing such a wonderful webcomic and community! Looking forward to the journey ahead!!

@tseappreciationweek Day 5 (8/8/2025)

Day 5 Prompt: Patience OR Adaptation

Patience: These are probably two of my favorite “romantic” scenes in TSE (although as I was rereading to find these pages, there are other really cute scenes too). The patience is for me. That if it’s in God’s plan/will for me to have a long-term partner/get married at some point in my life, I will continue to wait patiently to be able to recreate these TSE scenes with them. ❤️💞

In the more realistic, short-term, I’ll be patiently waiting until I can move into my college dorm to put this on display to decorate my room. 😍 (I also need to have patience in finding a good colored printer, bc the one I had at home did not want to print the pages the right colors today, so photo editing came in handy today lol). Thank you, Laura, for making this print available on your Etsy!

@tseappreciationweek Day 4 (8/7/2025)

Day 4 Prompt: Justice OR Outfit

Outfit: Probably should NOT be posting my face but whatevsssssss. I’m too excited NOT to share this subtle cosplay of Enel I did for a comic con back in early March and freezing my fingers off trying to recreate these images. I did actually buy a mini telescope and orange hair spray and almost had candy canes for this cosplay but I only ended up using the mini telescope. (But I have a project in mind to make a better telescope someday… stay tuned 👀😆🤐) As a nod to Enel’s horse Snowflakes, I started calling my car Snowflake the Clown Car. At the time, I was really resonating with Enel more than ever before with his child-like, silly, outgoing, slightly immature spirit (and my own odd curiosity of wanting to wear suspenders). I also remember now that this was the same weekend the student-body at my college celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day (it was not in fact St. Patrick’s Day/weekend) so wearing the green was such a great way for me to passively double dip. Lol. Also fun little fact, the orange “ball” looking thing is a keychain Squishmallow named Onel. A very meaningful memory/weekend it was for me indeed. 💖🧡💚

There’s actually a few more Comic Cons and Renaissance Faires coming up real soon that I’m eying up going to and I’m debating if I should recreate Enel or any other TSE characters and how would I do it? Thoughts anyone? 👀

@tseappreciationweek Day 3 (8/6/2025)

Day 3 Prompt: Mercy OR Song

Song: Solider, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos (see above image for my depiction/lyric breakdown of how the song relates to TSE characters)

AHHHHHHHH OK… I definitely got wayyyy too excited about this prompt… Something I want to do at some point in my life is make more fan edits and/or animations. This prompt got me SO excited because I already have a few songs collected and in the brainstorming process to make edits/animations for TSE someday. Above is my specific lyric breakdown so far of Solider, Poet, King (if anyone has further ideas, lmk!) and below is a list of other songs I’m thinking about and relatively brief descriptions of what I see.

1. Solider, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos. (See above)

2. Build a Boat by Colton Dixon - Depictions of the groups (particularly Apen and maybe Velvare/Bhatair, or anyone else with a faith-based background) on the Novalog or in the Deadlands as they’re setting off into the unknown, but they have their trust in God to protect and guide them. I can just see Apen standing on the Novalog, looking up at the mast/sail and seeing “magical” wind blowing around symbolizing God is with him. I also see the calendar art of Avidan and Gudrun facing the sunset on the Novalog.

3. The Last Shanty by Derina Harvey Band - Just the vibe of this song reminds me of the chaos of Aquil and Aetius, especially the few lines of…

“Well, me father often told me when I was just a lad / A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad” + “And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last”

4. Silly Song with Enel… iykyk

A nod to my friend mentioned in my Day 1: Hook post: she shared her playlist with me awhile back and I actually discovered songs 1 and 3 from her playlist. I discovered song 2 on my own listening to it on the radio, but then found it was also on her playlist. I am still ever thankful and appreciative she shared her playlist with me because I never would’ve heard or known of those songs + many other songs I discovered through her playlist. I feel like I have a deep connection to music so it means more than she or anyone will ever know.

Day 2 Prompt: Forgiveness OR Easter Egg

Forgiveness: The topic of forgiveness immediately made me think of this page because I hope that Gudrun someday DOES forgive him. Even if they still keep their boundaries from each other, they don’t have to fall in love and be in each other’s lives again, but I do hope she forgives him because holding onto that anger and bitterness and stubbornness is so burdening. I’ve felt it. 😓

When this page first came out I was going through a rough patch and I unfortunately saw myself in Bhatair’s actions/words and I feared/was hurt by Gudrun’s words. This interaction between the two echoed my own struggles of unforgiveness and causing hurt on others by my actions. As I still wrestle and sometimes carry the weight and bitterness of my own unforgiveness on myself, it has not been an easy journey.

With a fictional story, I can hope that Gudrun’s story will turn out better. And maybe someday, in real life, so too will my story.

@tseappreciationweek Day 1 (8/4/2025)

Day 1 Prompt: Restoration OR Hook

(I do have a submission for Restoration that actually relates to Hook, but it’s a bit more personal so I might post it in the comments later, make a private post for it, or not post at all; I’m very new to Tumblr and still learning the features)

Hook: TLDR: Thank you to my college friend for reading TSE to/with me in our school’s lecture halls and getting me “hooked”.

In general, I’ve never considered myself as a reader. I read and comprehend at a slow pace which was very discouraging in school growing up since it felt like everyone around me in class read so much faster, so as I got older I moved away from any kind of leisure reading.

Now that being said, I had a college friend who asked me if I’ve heard of or read The Silver Eye on the very first day we met freshman year. To which I had to disappoint her by telling her “I’ve never heard of it and unfortunately I’m not much of a reader”. She had already been reading TSE years prior so she was always trying to entice her friends to read it with her, but she was never fully successful. Fast forward to summer going into both of our junior years, we are both on campus for the summer. Summer was much more relaxed than during the school year so she was still urging me to get on board with TSE that summer but I kept resisting. So we compromised and decided that the best (and only) way I was going to read it was for her to read it to me. 🤣 AND IT WORKED!! Fast forward two years up to now, and I’m STILL keeping up and reading it and loving every page, spoiler, meme, fanart, calendar, theory, etc.

These are pictures of one of the lecture halls we would take over late at night that summer and plaster TSE all over the big screen projectors. She read through all the dialogue of each page, she showed me the Easter eggs of the hovertext, she used the white boards/chalk boards in each classroom to keep track of the lore we were reading and breaking down the family tree. It was the best binge read ever since I was getting all the lore and theories that were building up page by page over the years but I didn’t have to wait as long for certain theories to be revealed.

Side note: For my first year paying enough attention to catch AND participate in TSE appreciation week in time, the prompts this year are hauntingly relatable to my experience with TSE and my surrounding life, especially in terms of my newfound/early faith journey and a lot of these prompts feeling like biblically related themes and reflections in my life.
