[[not going active here again just yet--sorry, not ready to come back to this story at this point, i really am--but like, for the record, i’m gonna be trying to get the art for this uploaded elsewhere just in case; it isn’t yet but at some point it’ll be available at furaffinity (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/happikatt/) and on ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/users/HappiKatt/works)]]
I have been hearing rumors that @theroyalfoolisgone has been heckled by impatient young'uns, and that this has got them down in the mouth (so to speak, haha). So, since I saw some other folks putting up their fan-art, I decided to jump onto the bandwagon!
I drew this for inktober, but I thought this merited a second post. This particular scene had me chuckling happily to myself. :)
I hope the humor helps put ‘em in a better state of mind.
Hey, uh, you still alive? If you don't wanna work on the comic anymore people would appreciate you saying it instead of just leading everyone on for half a year. At this point I'd be more disappointed if you didn't say anything at all...
the answers to the most recent questions on this subject remain the same now: i dont really abandon stories, but it can take me a while to cycle back to them, and this one in particular was formulated with a lot of personal feelings invested in it.
im much more active on my main blog @happikattwuzheere if people are interested in seeing other stuff from me and i dont think this is abandoned forever, no, but i also really…really don’t want this to become any more of a source of stress on my life than it already had. to that effect, i think it’s in my best interest to close the ask box for this blog; at this point even positive asks from people being patient feel like more pressure. i need to be allowed to not think about this at all for a while until my mind wanders back to it on its own. plus, right now i’m dealing with stuff irl, you know? Trying to get commissions open, trying to stay positive and help cheer up a lot of very rightfully scared friends, and so on; and as much as i’ll personally defend the importance of fan works, in this case i really gotta say a fan comic i started doing because i wanted to for a video game is nowhere near top priority.
if the uncertainty of the next update is enough that people wanna stop following and give up on this story, that’s fine. i get it. ive been on your end.
but please, just give me time and space so i can come back to this after it’s lost the sour taste i’ve had left in my mouth, when i feel like i’m drawing it for my own sake again.
*Oh My God????
For @theroyalfoolisgone You’re story is so totally amazing and I wanted to make you a little fanart of your ADORABLE Frisk!! <3 Stay Determined! (Also plz take your time with the comic, we totally understand X3)
This is a drawing I did a while back. I love Papyrus, but I also love AUs where he’s suffering without his brother. (I’m sorry my little cinnamon roll!)

Inktober Day #10
@happikattwuzheere’s Frisk is my next victim. They are the cutest little pudge from Something’s Missing ( @theroyalfoolisgone)
For the Royal Fool (http://theroyalfoolisgone.tumblr.com/) who has been feeling down. I love their work, and wish them luck! May we all find Home. Enjoy!
!!! Aaaah, thank you, this is so kind!
Hey there! First of all, thank you. Your comic, no, STORY, is simply amazing. There is a thread of mystery lurking around, what happened to Sans, why is the human here, why is Undyne not looking after my precious cinnamon bun Papyrus? EH UNDYNE? Anyways, what motivates you to continue drawing this, and what brought you this idea? You go on and take a break as long as you wish, life gets in the way, quite understandable. All I can say is I look forward to the next update, STAY DETERMINED ARTIST!
Hhhhhh this one’s gonna get long and personal and I am sorry to do this in response to an ask from someone who’s not at all part of the problem, but I feel here’s as good a place to make this clear as any, SO.
First: Thank you! I’m glad you like it - really I am! I sincerely never expected Something’s Missing to get as popular as it has, and I’m so grateful for everyone’s kind words, even if I can’t answer all of them directly!
Second, as to the origin: the origin is actually kind of a funny story. I was away from my tablet for the weekend (normal while I was still attending college; i’m not right now but more on that later) and having people send in silly suggestions for doodles in my sketchbook, and one anon missed the “silly” part and sent in the ask that started off this whole shebang. It turned into a plot bunny that had me crying alone in bed at four in the morning, and, well, you see.
As to motivation, though…I have mentioned this before without going into detail, and I’m still not going to go into much detail, because y’all don’t need to hear my tragic backstory and I’ve no intention of sharing it with strangers in any case, but somewhere along the line of me slowly descending into a complete inability to get my schoolwork done, I realized this story became something of a coping mechanism for me. Coping with both the stress of school, and with what has since been identified as PTSD. The events of this comic are in no way related to what actually happened to and around me, mind; but the emotions are very directly based on my own - confusion, betrayal, grief, the whole mess.
As of March, I’ve been on medical withdrawl from college. It’s that bad. And in all honesty, this comic was in many ways a way for me to escape from stress of school by just…not doing my schoolwork. I can’t deal with stress anymore, not like I used to be able to. Don’t worry, I’m seeing a therapist and I’m doing much better since I’ve been home, and I’m ultimately going to be transfering to a college closer to home so I can be with my family. But what that means for this comic is that because it’s a story that is so important to me as a tool for my own healing, I really, REALLY don’t want to force it. That’s why I get so touchy about people asking when I’m gonna update it next, even though I get it, it’s hard to be patient, I’ve been on your end. But I’m not someone who likes to force my own stories, and ESPECIALLY not this one.
My heart and my mind aren’t very into Undertale for the time being, but with how much thought and energy went into this already, they’ll come back around to it eventually. I can’t control when that’ll happen, but when it does, I hope some of you guys’ll still be invested. I’ll be writing it for my own sake, so it’ll be written no matter what.
To all the unaddressed wellwishers who’ve sent asks expressing that they’re willing to wait, and to everyone being understanding as hell: I really truly am sorry for how long it’s taking me to rotate back around to this; I’ll absolutely let you guys know when its back and stream the process of working on the next updates, I might even have a friend who’s offered to do so draw the next update(s) as a guest comic - but whatever happens I really can’t thank all of you enough.
OMG!!!!!!!!! HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO THINK!!!!! OR HAVE YOU JUST GIVEN UP ON THIS COMIC?!?!
Hey. Anon. You wanna know what makes me never wanna pick a story up again?
Exactly what you’re doing here.
I’m not making money off of this in any way, it’s something I started doing as a labor of love and as a coping mechanism.
I get it. I’ve been on your end of things. Being patient is hard. I’m sorry.
But I never set out to create this comic for other people; I’m glad so many love it, I really am, but I started telling this story because its a story I wanted and still want to tell, and if I try to force it too much it’s going to suck.
I mean. I can always fart out a rushed scribbled ending just for you if its that important. I can post the entire plot synopsis I’ve had in mind, spoil the entire thing, and just give hastily drawn pictures giving the general idea. It’ll look awful. It won’t feel right. But at least you’ll get your story faster, right?
So.... This is discontinued???
No. I'm just taking a break. My mind is very cyclical when it comes to stories in that I always cycle back to the ones I love, and I do love Undertale. I just need to think about other stuff for a while, and then I'll come back to this one. Please be patient.
So, one, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY HIATUS THINGY!!!!!!!!! I know that nobody will believe that I posted that, and IDC. I know I did it, and I'm happy. TWO: If you are just checking the asks to check them, I suggest blocking anon's. We can be annoying, and it just makes life easier. If you're looking for an idea, I would still keep the anon's off. I just love this comic, and I was missing out. HECK, why not turn off the anons right now? Are you STILL reading this? Go do your thang!!!!!!
I leave anon on because I know people might be nervous about contacting me directly, lol. As a perpetually anxious person myself I really do get that. And anons aren’t too bad nor are askers in general, its just a question that pops in now and again.
As for the break, it’s about motivation more than anything. I don’t have any motivation or inspiration to work on Something’s Missing right now; when I do get back to it I know what the next post’ll be, but for now for whatever reason my mind is preoccupied with other things. It’ll cycle back around to this story sooner or later; it always does when it comes to the stories that rly matter to me.
So, what's with the hiatus on Something's Missing? I MISS THE MISSING!!!!!
To be completely honest, while I 100% sympathize, every ask I get about when the next update to Something’s Missing is coming out makes me wanna work on it a little bit less.
I cycle between lots of stories; I can’t really help it, I work on whatever my muse is fixated on at the time. I keep asking people to be patient because I’ve put enough effort into Something’s Missing already that I know I will definitely come back to it, but I really need people to be patient with me and understand that if I force myself to do so the story’s gonna suffer for it. I’m sorry, I really really am, but right now my mind is occupied by other things.
I mean, if people would really rather I half-assed the rest of the story in order to get it all out in regular updates, I could do that, I guess. But I’d hate doing it. And for a story that is honestly something of a coping mechanism for me, I don’t want to hate doing it.
Reblogging this here in the hopes that the senders of the occasional ask I get over here about this will understand, too; this isn’t me giving up on the story. Just taking a break.
do you have a deviantart Account where you post your comics?
I do have a deviantart but I haven’t posted anything there in ages tbh
this is the only place i currently post this comic! and any other art I do shows up on my main!
EDIT: woops sorry heres the link to the aforementioned main http://happikattwuzheere.tumblr.com/
I’m not great at navigating this site, I’m afraid, but for any Russian readers, the translators are ssssomewhere on this page! Ty to the translators for doing this!!
Greetings from Russia! I translate diffirent comics from English into Russian and would REALLY like to translate yours!! :з Can I?
Sure!!! Please give me a link to wherever you post the translation so I can post the link here! :D
To the anon who sent two asks re: an idea for an AU -
I don’t have Facebook, and I’m very choosy about who I add on Skype, sorry :c If you were wanting to ask if I would provide art for your AU, I’m afraid the answer’s no; for now I’m really only able to handle drawing things that I want to draw, and I don’t think I’d be able to handle that sort of pressure. But if you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, I’d be okay with chatting! Just use the tumblr messenger system, maybe? That way this blog (which rly is meant to be focused just on Something’s Missing) doesn’t get a ton of asks based on a non-relevant subject matter.
Or you can hit me up on my main happikattwuzheere! I can’t be a long-term collaborator with you, but I can certainly try and help you get your initial concepts sorted out if that’s all you need!
