My (super last minute) entry for @saltnpepperbunny ‘s disability pride contest! Characters are from @findingyourrootscomic

⚡Finding your roots: Let's go for aventures!

This is Cedar, a cute little mudkip who's known to love swimming in the mud. However, the story goes further than that : racism between Pokemon, the pride to be who we are, Pokemon battles, and overwhelming moments are there 👍

Was thinking about the contrast between this scene:

and the story told by Rayquaza at the start of book 3:

Rayquaza uses the word family. She describes herself as a daughter.

And they are certainly not weak.

But it did get me thinking, maybe what happened in the past is a direct result of what happened here with Rayquaza mostly being on their own, with no family anymore. And how much the legend had shifted pokemon's opinions on Elementals, Earthens, Fae, and even Grimm.

Was feeling really nostalgic for FYR today, so I drew Cedar and Nauki! It’s missing Team Hearth hours. So, this is something I've been keeping on the low down for a long time, because I figured that if I admitted it, people would take it the wrong way and start worrying about things they don't need to worry about. But it's actually been many months since I've worked properly on Finding Your Roots. I think the last time I was drawing FYR pages regularly was maybe, April? I've done a couple of pages here and there since then, but for the most part, I've made pretty miniscule progress on the comic for most of 2021. Even though I have REALLY GOOD REASONS for putting FYR on hold rn, it's still pretty disappointing to not work on my main comic for so long. I took a break from comicking from about mid April to mid May due to health issues, and since I got started again, I've been working almost exclusively on The Things We Have. I am soooooooooo close to finishing TTWH, guys. It's INCREDIBLY EXCITING! I started drawing Part II of the comic in May when I got back to comicking, and I've been outputting almost a page a day in order to finish the comic as soon as possible. I'm now at the point where I have less than 30 pages to draw, and then TTWH is complete! It'll still be a long time before you folks will see the end of that comic, because I upload pages a lot slower than I finish them and we have a huge backlog to get through, but I'm really close to seeing the end of that project. It's really exciting. Things are pretty exciting for me right now. I have one comic that's close to completion, I have another new one that I'm about to start releasing alongside my friend @zeropro, and FYR is about to start uploading again in August! Thankfully, even though I've made very little progress on FYR in recent times, I have over 30 pages of Chapter 7 completed, so I at least am not at risk of running out of backlog. ^^ But I'm mainly just excited to finally put TTWH to bed and get back to properly working on FYR. FYR, after all, is my baby, and it's the project I love the most above all. Because, wow guys, TTWH is draining. :'D Don't get me wrong, I really love working on that project too and it's very important to me, but holy shit kjdsfhjkfgfg. There's only so much rabbit suffering a girl can take! It's a very dark, sad story, and it was always intended to be a sad, dark story. There's no real happiness in it until it's final pages. I'm using this comic to process a lot of internal pain, so it's good to try to feel these feelings. But wow, I am just, so tired of misery. These aren't really good times for me right now. TTWH is a reflection of that, and I'm hoping that when I complete the comic and move on from it, I can put those feelings to rest as well. FYR, on the other hand, has always been about healing! Positivity! TTWH is not a healing narrative, but FYR absolutely is, and those are the sorts of vibes I'm looking forward to indulging in! I just wanna draw my Team Hearth babies being all smiley and cute together, and get back to drawing some adorable pokemon instead of just rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, MORE RABBITS! I want FYR back! I'm so excited to work on it again! Either way though, I think it was a good choice for me to focus on finishing TTWH and getting it out of the way. It'll allow me to give FYR my fullest attention, and I'll have to worry about juggling two projects for a lot less time. If I hadn't put FYR on hold, TTWH probably would have taken well into autumn to finish, which isn't fun. I'll admit the reason I never mentioned this going on is because I was worried that if people knew I wasn't working on FYR anymore, they would get scared that I'm not gonna work on FYR ever again, which is def not the case!!! So don't worry, y'all. Give me like one more month to finish TTWH, and I'll start drawing up lots of FYR pages for you. ;3c I love it when a month ends and a new one begins! It's like a reset, a breath of fresh air. I'm excited for August, and beyond. I'm excited to still be here, no matter what.
