When a good friend starts dating someone and you’re not like ‘jealous’ jealous, but also your relationship totally changes and you don’t see them so much anymore :(

Had a bunch of song-scraps in a google doc, these were my faves

So here we are all together, ready to fight the sinister forces of fear and exploitation throughout Witchland (click through for full descriptions from left to right):

Jaywitch of the Jams w/ Beatbot the Brave

Ris the Radical w/ Frogly the Gump

Lyan Rang w/ Balthasar the Steadfast

Dr. Beasles w/ Mittens the Magical

Lizbee the Wise w/ Hootly the Owl

Madame Megathor w/ Andrew the Gallant (temporarily cursed to inhabit the form of a grey direwolf)

Blanketwitch Jen w/ Salamandra (Sally) the Patchwork Lizard

I can't tell you how desperately I want to make this a regularly updated webcomic wherein our faithful adventurers battle the forces of CapitronX, but... also... I am supposed to be working... and... we'll see what happens!

And last but not least, here is Jen the Blanketwitch! She describes (and portrays) herself (and her patchwork lizard) very nicely over here.

Although Blanketwitch Jen is immensely comfortable and content in her cocoon of enchanted fabrics, in recent months CapitronX has been casting snowpocalypse spells in order to freeze out any witch sympathizers left in what was once known as Witchland.

Finding herself unequal to the task of holding back the forces of Capitron on her own, Jen sought out help from nearby sympathetic music-witches and they now pool their resources to maintain cozy hideaways away from the prying eyes of CapitronX's forces.

Salamandra (Sally) the patchwork lizard has supernatural sensitivity to aesthetic cloth magic and makes sure that Blanketwitch Jen is always dressed impeccably fly.

Lizbee the Wise grew up across the sea studying dance magic from a young age. She met Jaywitch of the Jams while he was questing for lost wisdom and she shared with him ancient truths of compassion and courage. As an adult witch Lizbee pores through tome after tome in search of the One True Sentence that will bring peace and understanding to all lands and unite the populace against CapitronX.

Lizbee's familiar is Hootly the Owl. He flutters around the room while she studies, bringing her herbal teas and more books when she needs them.

In the early days of CapitronX's reign over Witchland, people would travel from far and wide to hear Riswitch the Radical's subversive beats and calls to revolt. Recognizing the threat that Noise-Magic and community posed to his systems of control, Capitron banished Riswitch to the Northeastern forests upon penalty of death. Fortunately, with the help of like-minded forest-Witches, Riswitch built an entire tree-dwelling colony high above the forest floor where Capitron's spies could not enter.

Riswitch's familiar is Frogly the Gump who is able to see into people's souls and help them achieve their true nature.

Witch-Madame Megathor is an alluring and ferocious master of storm magic from the temperate rainforests of the west. As an ambitious young woman she left her family in order to gain the knowledge and powers she deemed necessary to overthrow the tyrant of her homeland, the vicious and unmerciful CapitronX. Although the institutions of magical higher learning she fled to were exposed to be closely aligned with the forces of Capitron, in her studies she amassed a cadre of like-minded Witches dedicated to overthrowing the oppressive hierarchies of all Witchland.

Recognizing the threat that Mme Megathor poses to his empire, CapitronX cursed her true love, Andrew the Gallant, to maintain the form of a grey direwolf until the workers of Witchland stand firmly together. In this form Andrew serves as her familiar and enjoys running naked through the woods.
