ITS BEEN ONE WHOLE YEAR SINCE WE STARTED OUR JOURNEY AND WE'RE STILL JUST ON CHAPTER 2!!
All jokes aside, this is a love letter to all of you from your good ol' pal Nortsauce. We couldn't have made it this far without your support and love and creativity.
I'd be honored if you read it :]
When we first started this project, fly had to cajole me into getting into the story a little bit, as I was a little intimidated by the premise. They burst into my room at around 2-3am holding Hailey Senpai's voice dub right to my still-waking face, and made a bet with me saying "I bet you could rewrite this." I was hesitant. But after seeing so many awesome rewrites, I say down and decided "Ah what the heck. Lets have fun with it."
And WE rewrote it :]
We spent nights upon nights throwing ideas at each other, sitting in our bedrooms at 9pm for the last few weeks of June, hammering down what we wanted and using our giant whiteboard to write out a timeline.
By the time we had come up with a pretty good premise, fly said that it was too fun not to do an ask blog, just like the good ol' days, but they were scared to do it. This was another point of my hesitancy, as my previous ask blogs were kind of stressful. I told them to do whatever they wanted, but they never did it.
Finally, i got the stick out of my ass, and I made it for them. I made the hyperlink, I made the hashtag system, I set up the profile and i spent an HOUR figuring out the stupid "Read from the beginning" link (that was later) I made a pfp and fly made a banner.
And it was done!
It never would have happened if fly and i didn't just say "Screw it." And forced each other to start the project.
Now we are here, we have a wonderful community, we have so many ideas, and best of all (my personal favorite)
We have so many new stories being told!!!
It feels like i'm a kid again. I'm always excited to talk about ideas with fly, discuss with friends, answer silly questions, see all the comic dubs, the art, the fan fictions the poetry the songs.
That people are loving creating art again.
I hope to see so much more. So many more stories, so many more characters, so many ideas, so many new friends.

Guys i’m INCREDIBLY disappointed with how much hostility is being directed towards other creators right now. The things i’ve read and have been CONTINUOUSLY reading of what other people say about fanfics, other ask blogs, voice overs, comics etc has been making me sick.
This has been going on for months now, and we’ve had to deal with SEVERAL reports about bullying and harassment, and I am saddened to see so much negativity in this fanbase, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS YOUR FELLOW ARTISTS!!
I’ll address some things here that have been brought up:
1) You can’t write cuphead in a romantic fanfic bc he’s aroace:
- That’s MY personal projection into how we write him in myth. What if someone writes a different version?
- He’s aroace ***SPEC*** He can still be romantic! It’s just going to look different.
- Guys. It’s fanfiction. They are giving you content for free. If you don’t like it; move on.
2) “Your characterizations aren’t good”
- Official nort statement here: I DON’T CARE. I offered SUGGESTIONS on how to write, NOT LAWS. LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN
3) There is a LOT of racism for people who don’t have english as their first language going on. I AM INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED. That’s INEXCUSABLE.
Do better everyone. Talk to your friends. “Hey, maybe this isn’t a nice way to go about this”
If you don’t like what they create, that’s fine! Move on! Go look at something else!
Please guys lets try and keep a positive space for artists.
