�� �� Congrats!!!!! �� ��

Thank you all! You guys are great; hope you don’t miss me too much!

Being back in the land of chaos... isn’t fun. Adjusting has been hard, I miss everyday life with my fiancé and I definitely didn’t miss all the protests, strikes and the general environment in the country. I’ll.... live, but it’s been really difficult so far, and I just really want to be back in Australia, rather than here. Especially with elections going on. It hasn’t been 4 days and I’m already sick of all the political campaigns and shit. Bleh.

I’m in a very weird headspace where everything feels a little bit off. Home doesn’t quite feel like home, my normal before leaving doesn’t feel right, my days feel a lot like going through the motions, and life in general is lackluster and lonely without Matt. It is what it is, though. We chose this life and we chose to be in a long-distance relationship (8 years ago!) and we’ve always known what it would be like, so... just gotta get back to it.

In any case, thank you all for all the congratulations! You guys are great, and you know where to find me if you’d like to chat! <3

Hey, I love your comic! Asta and Teyeno are so cute (especially Asta, she looks like the personification of bubblegum) and I can't wait to see how they find each other! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ were there specific things/people that inspired those characters, and if yes, what are they?

Inna Answers:

  SMOOCHES thank you nerd daughter!! You are also super cute and are bubblegum on the inside. uvu (this is a compliment for yall watching)

  Honestly, there weren’t any real life models or people who inspired any of the characters present. It was more centered around ideas and ideals I wanted to bring to life on paper. For Asta, I wanted a bubbly personality with pastel hair on dark skin. For Teyeno, someone calm and authoritative who doesn’t draw so much attention with their looks but rather with their presence. There’s also a factor that comes into play later with their cultures and backgrounds and motivations being very different but, well - more on that later! No spoilers!

  Also sidenote: you (my smol daughter) also helped me flesh out the story by letting me bounce ideas off you and telling me which you liked better. I didn’t maybe originally agree with you but I took it as a challenge and worked with it anyway, and it turns out this is exactly the kind of story I wanted to tell in the end anyway!

A Thingy based on The Best Poem written by @salzkind (poem under cut read it it’s the best)

Seaweed Siren for Inna

Ships break apart at those same, sharp rocks and the seamen whisper to themselves - few ever make it back and those who do are shaking, shivering mutes. Among those same, sharp rocks, a pale form lies in wait, lazing as she does, her eyes sharp and her teeth sharper still her skin is muddy, seaweed tangled in her hair, her smile terrifying, and the skinny sailors are her favourite snack. Still, some scoff, approaching her, why would they not be able to harpoon her and be done with it? When she opens her mouth to _s c r e a m_ the fight is over before it's begun (ears are bleeding, limbs are shaking, frozen, eyes are wide and frightened--) another ship breaks apart at those same, sharp rocks and moving slowly, slowly, unhurried, she goes to search her lunch amongst those drowning.
