Does your Raph have DID???

Well, yes? You see multiple of his alters in canon after all (being the host, savage raph, mind raph, and the pizza puff guy). So, it'd be weird if he wasn't

How heavy is the ableism in your comic? I saw the tag and wasn't quite sure how heavy it was

No slurs or anything like that, it's mostly everyday societal shit. A kind of pervasive attitude throughout the whole facility about trying to 'fix' people, with or without their permission. Medical ableism is going to be common. Characters vilifying other characters with mental disorders will also happen sometimes

Addendum! Forgot to mention something I definately should have as they're kinda severe. Spoiler under the cut:

There is a deaf character later in the story that is put under threat of death specifically becuase they are deaf.

Also, almost all the non-consensual body mods are motivated by ableism

#spoiler warning #residual asks

Who's your favorite turtle? Oc you made?

Main author: Mikey & Donnie. I don't really make the ocs, but i guess Otteman? Out of co-authors ocs I think my favorite is Sam (who doesn't exist outside of post residuum future epilogue, except for like, some world building in the background)

Co-aothor: Raph :). I don't really have a single favorite oc. I have seven that I like a lot, and you've seen four of them so far. Only the main author and wraenata know about the rest (but they'll show up eventually).

Residuum Progress Update

I have emerged from my silksong cocoon! (mostly unwillingly, due to the current patch version breaking my games' movement. anyway-) So, what happening with Residuum?

Honestly? Mostly art-block, with a sprinkling of adult responsibilities. I might just be tired, but idk. might also be burnout. despite that i did end up sketching quite a lot of panel edits for clarification.

Outside the artblock situation, we've been writing a lot! Scripted about half of arc II at this point, and been shuffling scenes around. Did some character work and edited an oc's future introduction.

We also decided to go back and insert some scenes I removed due to fear of commitment. (listen. i panicked when i realised how long residuum was going to be and did a dumb. whoops) Which will end up adding about 7-9 pages to the prologue (arc I). but those won't be available to look at until i finish the next update so

#progress update #you can look at the changes now if you want #its all updated on the blog & ao3

Hello it's me again with another question, so in part 19 when bird yokai lady is trying to get into Donnie's mind, Bishop is looking at what looks like a piece of bloody metal on the table, what is that??? And it looks like Bishop grabs it but her hand is empty when she sticks her fingers in Donnie's brain. Did she grab it? What is it? Was she thinking of sticking that in poor Donnie's exposed brain? I hope I'm not annoying you with all these questions. 🥲

Its the scalpel Dr. Pulsifer was using earlier, she was just deciding if she wanted to use it or not. She didn't lol, she's got nails for a reason

#residual asks #the purpose of showing her considering it is to build tension that shes about to do something #something very bad #its meant to set off your klaxon alarms lol

Hi there! I was reading part 18 again and I have a question, when Bishop is watching the doc examining Donnie's brain, she says "Awfully exposed for a corrective surgery." What does she mean exactly? Why are they subjecting Donnie to brain surgery?? So from what I've gathered reading the whole comic again, I'm thinking Donnie has been held prisoner for months now and he's been excessively uncooperative and aggressive the entire time and has never stopped trying to escape.

Did Bishop get fed up and just decide Donnie's bad behavior will be corrected through brain surgery? And when she saw he was mentally fighting bird yokai lady, she decided the doc was taking too long and lobotomized Donnie herself. Was that the purpose of this surgery? Cuz according to the dialogue in this part, it's stated that the chip was implanted in Donnie's brain stem first and the second surgery was going to be to correct his bad behavior?

Also, one more question (sorry I love analyzing this comic and I have so many questions! 😂) why was Donnie not struggling during the surgeries? Did they use the device on his neck to paralyze him so they could get him into the operating room so he wouldn't be able to struggle during the two surgeries?

I'm sorry this ask got long but I just love your comic so freaking much! 💞💞💞

#residual asks #theres some images from part 18 in my response (censored version!) so i've put the whole thing under a read more #tw blood #the thing about bishop is that she is impatient and impulsive #regardless of the deliberate air she gives off #a lot of background stuff goes on without y'alls knowledge in the first arc #that's partially because i wanted to get to the main story as fast as possible #but its also cause im saving a lot of contextualizing info for later in the story

i was random reviewing the wiki when i came across something very cool (The Yōkai have existed for centuries and were originally mutated by a substance called "Empyrean" which spilt out of the Crying Titan,) from the wiki. so Yōkai are the children of mutants of old, it doesn't have to change your comic in anyway. Yōkai could of forgot this and as time with the resists to drugs weaken or something, you could use this if you want to, it would be some fact a character finds somewhere
