Hey Syllll! Long time, no chat! I just wanted to get this off my chest before i go ham trying to figure out what i wanna commission from you soon.

I have been reading Undersource for years now, and i think we've both come a long way since then! God, that feels weird to say, i'm not even old enough to drink yet lmao. But! I am old enough to spend my money responsibly now, which is nuts given that my responsible spending is now aimed at getting art of my blorbos LOL.

You've grown as an artist so much since i first started reading- i think that was around... the pirate arc? Not sure! But i do remember the early days of me having discord, during the EKD server category era. But anyways, i know the way you drew our favorite skeletons was different back then, and it's all gotten so much smoother in that time. You're also (at least seemingly) taking way better care of yourself! You've set boundaries, you've set more time for yourself and not the blog, and you're still happily chugging along, after all these years. Not to mention you're working on this side story now, which i'm fairly certain you've been looking forward to for a while.

How's that sleeping though? Do you still have the sleep cycle of an austalian? Can't say i'm any better, im slowly becoming nocturnal again lol. Some things NEVER change.

Anyways. All this to say: im really proud to have been part of this little community for so long. To see the comic and its artist come so far. Even if im not a diehard fan anymore, im glad i can still take a little time every weekend to realize "OH, U/S shoulda updated!" and run over here. Thanks for giving me a good starting point of community on this god damned hellsite.

(Here's to sleepy 5 am "you're great" asks LMAO)

sjksdhLKSDJFHG THIS IS SUCH A SWEET MESSAGE OMG-

Hi Azzy! :D I'm glad you still like my work even after all this time! Thank you for sticking around! :D

I have been taking better care of myself these days! I'm (only sometimes begrudgingly XD) going on daily walks (Pikmin Bloom is really helping with that, I love Pikmin they're so cute), and made some new friends! When I first started this blog I was convinced I had to constantly/frequently produce content, and I time went on I slowly realized that wasn't really viable, so I slowly trimmed down the workloads for better manageability, I'd say it's helped a lot! Even if it may not look like it sometimes XD

There was a point before I adjusted my work schedule where I figured out that I may have been riding a creative burnout for a long while, as when I looked back it felt like my work had begun to visually stagnate. I think at the time I was cramming working on the comic update across only 3 or 4 days (Wednesday/Thursday to Saturday mornings, sometimes down to the wire), with several hours of just constant work (plus any distractions and 3 daily asks) because I was procrastinating so badly X'D I'm still recovering from the visual stagnation, but I'm definitely trying to experiment where I can! I may not be the best at it but I hope I'm improving at least ksjdghLSDGH My current schedule is MUCH more spaced out and much more manageable, spanning Sunday to Friday and broken down into stages for each day, and Saturdays are my designated day off~

As for the side story, it's one I've had around for quite a while and have been excited to finally show off! There were a few people who were interested in it when it was first teased, though I've no idea if they're still around, if they are I hope they're enjoying the story so far as well! 💜

Oddly enough my sleep schedule is no longer on Cthulhu Standard Time SKSDJGHDLG We had a TON of construction going on in the house the past few months and it was way too awkward to sleep with a bunch of strangers either being in or near my room, as well as making a LOT of noise sjkdhgLKSDJG There was a brief section of time where I'd actually go to bed at a "normal" time and get up at like, 9 or 10 am X'D Though it's slowly sneaking it's way into afternoons to 3 or 4 AM after I feed the kitties, kinda like my old college schedule XD

Thank you again for liking my work and sticking around! I really appreciate it!! :D

I may not be anywhere near whatever my "peak" was a few years ago, but I'm still happy to keep going for those who still come around! 💜

You love making cp defeat the rules of panels eh ? X'D just- i think we're all in an agreement, it's mutual. Very.

I'm glad people are amused by the border and panel shenanigans XD

They're fun to come up with and are only sometimes hard to pull off! dsgkjHSDLGKJ

[slylock-syl]

Aw this is very sweet! Thank you very much! :D

Happy New Year! I hope you have a good 2025! 🎉

Hacker question again! Could they still RESET? Or was that exclusive to Necros's world? Would they at all be interested in Overwrite- or are they going to prefer their own method's since thats way more fun. Mainly curious!

Hacker could RESET back when they were still in their original world with Necros, once the world was destroyed the ability was lost with it.

They would be fairly interested in the Overwrite button and its practically, but ultimately favor their own hacking abilities as simply pressing a button would feel too easy and might bore them quickly. The trial and error really drive them cuz you can sometimes get unexpected results!

Actually they might even be interested in hacking Overwrite itself, just to see what would happen and what they could do with it XD

[slylock-syl]

So.. Did Hacker just take over Chara's body? I remember we saw a panel of them just saying it hurts and all. So, wondering if this is the case or not.

It's certainly a theory for the theory pile! :D

With Kah, and even Fi, it took Necros a bit to get used to having kids around again back when he first met them, certain similarities aside. Said similarities weren't as striking for him, so it was relatively easy for him to see them as different people.

With Hacker, however, the similarities were much more present, and it definitely messed with him for a while. He eventually worked past it by seeing Hacker as their own separate identity who just happened to look like his deceased daughter.

And yes, Hacker would like chocolate XD

Heya sly how are you doing?

Doing alright! Just waiting on the first ever official batch of charms to arrive~

Once those are all set up I'll probably look into making charms of other fandoms and media as well, I have a few idea but I'll put them in a poll and open it up to other suggestions as well!

Why do I feel like Hacker took the form of a Papyrus and offered a Sans some DT pills with some extra kick? Likely LV… can see it overwhelming the soul of the Sans until it made the adorable Maniac we see today?

Wrong inhabitant implies that the body was that of a sans but the soul/content is that of DT… a being that is Pure Determination, and his mention of being unable to fight off the “Intent To Kill” means he identifies as such… and intent to kill is LoVe. Level of Violence… his ability to meddle with souls is absolutely fascinating as is his seemingly lack of morals.

*Offers a box of a dozen Raspberry White Chocolate cookies from Subway to the adorable menace*

This is so well thought out!~

We'll definitely get more into DT's backstory eventually~

[slylock-syl]

will hacker return to the story in the future？by anyway？

We'll have to see what happens when we return to the main story!~

They were in a pretty sorry state last we left them, I wonder what happened 👀
