Hello fellow sinners! Mod Mutt here with a quick update. Since Spook isn't a spirit fox like October is, he's not disappearing for the year quite yet. So until he's ready to say goodbye until next time, AskSpookyFox will probably resume for one more week and let Spook have a chance to answer some questions via Quick Reply Spook tag. (What, me ran out of time to draw new reaction faces for him? Noooo... >>; -cough-)
I also wanted to thank you all for the incredible engagement that I've received this year, all the questions and the comments and reblogs, I've read them all. I've never had so much interest in my dumb spooky fox before! It feels good to have people interact with a character of mine who's been around for so many years, who I've put so much work into his story and to finally really start telling it. c': Thanks all, it's been an amazing year and I can't wait to tell y'all more about Spook!
Until then, hope you had a very Happy Halloween! Remember, stay spooky~ 🎃👻🦇😈
Hey so I have a quick question for the blog owner. If Spook is supposedly the embodiment of fear, would it be appropriate to speculate that they haven't reached their full potential? Cause like, aspects can't really -die-, only their physical forms can be destroyed, but they'll eventually reform, so long as what they embody remains. So like, if Spook was really scared of possibly dying when Death did his thing, could that mean they aren't fully aware of what they're capable of? I know they have had a Long time to figure it out, but it kinda seems like a Freeza situation, where they are inherently very powerful, so they never really had a need to figure out what they can and can't do. Of course, this is all just speculation based on general knowledge of how aspects work. I could be Horribly wrong, given I don't know a lot about how you've built up your world and the rules within.
Mod Mutt: You're welcome to come up with whatever theories you like! I enjoy seeing people talk about their ideas and what clues they're picking up as the time goes on. It's one of my favorite part about the blog! I just can't always confirm or deny as I want Spook himself to tell his story, so I gotta be vague. I don't want to accidentally spoil some details since there are big plans in the future... 👀
However, what I can confirm for you is that Spook has never 'died'- Spook knows it is possible but as he said, it's very very hard. That's why he was so shooketh when Death gave him a taste. So, have he tapped out his potential because he never needed to explore further than what he knows? Maybe.
Because I'm feeling a little generous, I want to also say this: it's true that Spook is the embodiment of fear, that's what sustains his life, but that does not mean that fear created him. Let's just say that he doesn't always speak in full truths. After all, he keeps labeling himself the "fox of fear" but yet, he has shown over the years in the blog that he has multiple forms that are not illusions... ;3
Thanks for the memories, see ya when I get back in town. Happy Halloween and stay spooky~ 🎃👻☠️
Uhhh... yikes. Sorry about the unfinished comic! Definitely didn't want to end this year's blog like that (especially when I was doing so well this entire month!), but I'm outta steam and I'm spending time with Night (October's artist) for Halloween this year, so... :D;;; But this will be done, so expect this later in November! Until then, I'mma chill and enjoy the remainder of my time here with them.
Like Spook was saying, I'm extremely appreciative of all the new followers, all the likes, reblogs, and even new questions (seriously, got some REALLY good ones in just the last week alone 👀). I'm so heckin glad that you got to enjoy Spook's return this year and I hope to see y'all next year, especially since I intend to answer some of the harder, more in-depth questions that will explain Spook's abilities more! 😈
Until then, stay spooky friends and have a fantastically wonderful Halloween!
Wow, my artist, my guy, thanks for a whole lotta nothing for 3 years. It's a'ight. It's fine. Cool cool cool cool.
Don't worry my sinners, I do still exist! Imma try to make plans to make a dramatic return and have an explaination for everything, but the timing just isn't quite right. Those of you who still watch this blog, I 'presh you. ✌️ Until then, I hope y'all been taking good care of October in my absence (and by 'good care', I mean annoy the heck outta her, heh).
Mod Mutt: Heeeeeyyy.... So... 'Bout droppin that ball that I mentioned in my last post... Three years, huh? My bad, y'all. 😅
As it was stated in that post, I had some serious financial priorities that I needed a second job that demanded a lot of my free time (thanks student loans, always a blast whenever you sap up a third of my paycheck every month 👍👍👍). As of 2023, even though some things are new in my life, I’m still technically in the same situation as I was back in 2020. It’s really hard to have the energy and motivation to do art in general and when I do, I usually couldn’t do more than a sketch before I tuck it away and don’t finish. I’m knee deep in a burn-out, stuck in a cycle of working two jobs and taking care of adulting shit on my weekends.
Honestly, I’m tired of living this way.
I feel like a shell of who I used to be, giving my life to work. I miss the creativity that comes with art and telling stories. I adore watching my best friend do their October’s blog, year after year, and every year, I get the inspiration from them but lack the time to jump back into it. Such as this year, it’s just too late as we only have a week left in the month.
However, if you’ll have me, as a New Year’s resolution for next year, I want to refocus back to art and sharing Spook’s stories and help Night push October’s storyline along with Spook’s help. If this means having to work on Spook posts once a week every week leading up to October 2024, then so be it! I can’t guarantee anything, I can’t make promises as life do still take priority, but I do have a lot of sketches and answers to your questions sitting in my computer, waiting to be completed, so who knows what you’ll see!
For right now, please accept my apologies for literally disappearing on everyone in 2020. I want to do better and I want to bring Spook and all of his scary toothy sassiness back to you. Thank you to those who’s still around, I hope that you’ll come back in 2024.
