first off, i’d like to say sorry for the radio silence, and let you all know that, unfortunately, i won’t be updating for a while still. without getting too far into the details, my cat has had some unexpected severe health issues come up these past couple weeks, and the whole thing has been very hard on me and my ability to work on my creative projects.
i’ll be doing my best to keep up with my work on Reforged and continue to build a buffer as best i can, but the majority of my free time will be spent with my cat for whatever amount of time he has left.
thank you all for your patience, i look forward to updating whenever i can <3
HERE WE GO. 6 years in the making and it's finally happening!!
The first page of Reforged will be releasing on May 20th, that's just about a week away!
Pages will be releasing on Comicfury, Webtoon, and Deviantart, but expect to see posts here notifying people when a new page is out~
At the beginning I won't have a terribly consistent upload schedule. This is to ensure I don't burn out and to allow myself to build a bigger buffer :]
Is this the first you're hearing of my comic? Learn a little bit more under the cut. Alternatively, feel free to visit my blog or any of the sites linked in the text above! :]
Reforged is a Legend of Zelda fancomic that re-imagines the story of BoTW centering around the journeys of Prince Caelius and Aylin, a Yiga Clan warrior. The comic explores the ideas and fears behind holding up or rejecting your societal role, and how that pressure changes not only the person, but the world around them.
As the sole descendant of Goddess Hylia, Prince Caelius has devoted his life to sealing away the Calamity. Hoping to live up to his mother's expectations and the legacy of his father, the prince has turned to the pursuit of knowledge. After countless nights studying ancient texts, he and the research team have come to the conclusion that the rise of the Calamity is imminent. But with the master sword now in the hands of a Yiga Blademaster, the future looks uncertain...
When your father kills the king of Hyrule, there's a long shadow to outgrow. Determined to make a name for herself, Aylin has worked tirelessly to climb the ranks of the Yiga in the hopes that one day she might be able to bring down the monarchy and get revenge for those that have suffered under their rule. Before she gets promoted, however, her destiny takes a drastic turn as the fabled sword that seals the darkness calls to her.
Not long after their fates collide, Aylin and Caelius discover that the path to meet one’s expectations is not easy. As the two are forced to work together in order to overcome their obstacles an unlikely bond is formed as they learn how to shape their places in the world anew.

This comic started as a personal writing project of mine just for fun and me time, and just sort of grew and grew as I went. It's been 6 years in the making, so I'm very excited to finally start sharing it with people! Gotta admit I'm pretty nervous as I've never Made a comic, BUT WE ALL GOTTA START SOMEWHERE, FOLKS...
Reforged will debut on May 20th of this year, and I'll be posting the occasional promotional art piece leading up to the release. You'll be able to read Reforged on Comicfury, Webtoon, and Deviantart! While I won't be posting updates here on Tumblr, I will be using it as a platform to interact with audiences and share whatever else I make relating to the comic, as well as let people know when updates are out <3!
hello!! I know I only ever reblog memes and the like here, but I wanted to make a quick announcement!
On May 20th of this year I’m starting a webcomic!

I’ll be posting pages on Comicfury, Webtoon, and Deviantart, but releases will be announced on the sideblog in case if anyone doesn’t have an account on any of those sites <3

I've had 'Sad Beautiful Tragic' on repeat for the entirety of today because the lyrical complexity is just 👏🏼😵👏🏼. Like only Taylor could come up with stuff like: "In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation We both wake in lonely beds in different cities And time, is taking its sweet time erasing you" It's just amazing how something as simple as dreaming consistently of someone because you miss them can be composed so eloquently and I'm. Just. Shook. And the pain of a memory being so acute that time doesn't seem to numb the feeling is summarized up gorgeously into "And time, is taking its sweet time erasing you" which is so concise yet so clear and I can't even. Sad Beautiful Tragic is underrated, and we should talk about it more.
• I’m making hot cross buns tonight. Gluten free so they most likely won’t be wonderful but I can pretend.
• If yesterday was anything to go by, I will probably eat too much chocolate today at work. And not my preferred fancy raw no sugar chocolate, so my brain will be buzzing and I’ll crash hard this afternoon.
• Easter long weekend! The husband actually has three days off work! Not consecutively, but still worthy of lots of exclamation. I’m doing six hours of overtime on Good Friday though.
• I’m tired. Have been going to bed far too late for someone whose alarm goes off at 5:40am.
• Need to stop being a hermit and catch up with my friends.
• Looking forward to the upcoming kid-free night out in the city in a couple of weeks. We’re seeing Stephan K Amos at the Comedy Festival with two other couples, then dinner. And the husband and I are staying in town for the night! I’m most excited about sleeping in and eating meals undisturbed.
Now it’s 4pm and I’ll finally finish this post:
• I have eaten too much chocolate. It’s only Easter once a year, I suppose.
• Hoping to finish watching True Detective season 2 this weekend; generally only watch one episode a night and only then if we’re not too tired, it takes too much brain power. Yes it’s different to season 1 but I can see the parallels and I’m enjoying the differences.
Alright guys, the robot is finally over her love of that one kid. His girlfriend is lucky and I think she knows so I'm cool. She's cool. I guess. (Jk she's obnoxious but whatever) I have moved on! (Finally) and I have new prey. First time in a long time I've crushed on someone and they don't know. (For like 100% sure- I usually tell people I like them then they can decide what they wanna do, no beating around the bush I say) but this time, this time I'm going to do it classically. Perhaps do that message thing. Idk. I like him, he's so handsome, he's single, responsible, is studying Japanese too, and even has an internship at an insurance company. Plus he's like Christian and that's kinda cool cause we can like talk about stuff and such and, yeah. I Like him. I mean.. las much as a robot can like someone. (*cough* other guy *cough*)
I'm working on my who arrogance pride problem. I'm trying to be more humble. There will probably be no noticeable difference. It's all in my head you see, what I think of others, the snide comments I think often, how I seem to put myself in a higher and mightier place than I do other people. Confidence and self appreciation is one thing. Arrogance and pride is another. I seem to be getting mean lately and I apologise if I've hurt anyone's feelings (mostly people in real life). All my friends are really great people and I don't want to hurt anyone. I'll try to be kinder and more loving and have more humility. Bear with me if you could. <3
