Sabre is invited to visit the Steve Realm, but it seems something's off; not in a completely bad way, though! Main: http://mariii-the-shapeshifter.tumblr.com
It was a beautiful spring morning in the town, a morning Rainbow Steve loved. It had rained just before the sun rose, coating the world in a pleasant blanket of dew and petrichor, and, most crucially, blessing the sky with a rainbow.
Several of the townspeople came out early to enjoy the day, one being Alex, who endeavored to tend to her garden. It was something she had picked up from Rainbow, something she used to keep herself busy on days she felt uneasy. Clearly, today was one of those days. What could have been troubling her?
It seemed Galaxy had the same question. “Oh, you're at your garden again,” he noted with a deep frown. “What's up?”
Alex didn't bother to turn away from the flowers. “I just… I'm nervous, I guess.”
Alex straightened, still not looking at the Steve next to her. “What if Sabre doesn't take our invitation?” she wondered.
“What?!” Galaxy shouted, probably more dramatically than necessary. “Alex, he's our best friend. Of course he'll take it.”
“Well, no.” Alex corrected. “That's not what I mean. Just… what if… it never reaches him?”
“Alex~.” Galaxy leaned toward her. “Are you questioning my ability?”
Alex put her gloved hands on her knees and squeezed them. Her face scrunched up in thought. “Gosh, I guess I am.”
“Listen—” Galaxy put his hand to his chest. “—I've gotten way better at using my powers. There's not a chance Sabre doesn't get it.”
It was clear Alex wasn’t satisfied. She gently smiled at him, and he beamed back, but she looked back to the flowers. “Guess I'll have to be optimistic, then.”
Galaxy rested his chin on the top of Alex's head, then wrapped an arm around her and pulled her to him. “Yeah, that's the spirit! Sabre'll be here in no time, and he’s gonna love what we've done with the place!”
…Sabre returning… That's something else Rainbow would like. He was like a father to him, if fathers constantly hooked you up to machines and used you in experiments, which they did.
If Sabre came to the Stevex Realm, Rainbow would be happy…
…I have to make sure that happens at any cost. Whatever it takes to make my Rainbow happy; that's my philosophy.
*swings pocketwatch* You do not care that the designs have been changed. You will make no mention of how I, a Black person, couldn't draw Black hairstyles when I was younger
Ykw? I'm not making a big deal of this. Welcome back to TTT. Hope you enjoy.
You guys are in luck! A singular thought about The Twisted Timeline has finally formed after two years worth of a mental drought!
I was finally able to bring myself to open the document again. Lots of rewriting happened (including what even twisted the timeline in the first place) and I think I'll be ready to start drawing again soon. No definitive date for that, obviously, but soon!
Ignoring the fact that just thinking about this comic has made me exhausted, and that I've only recently found a way I think can help me make any progress, I've just had other things to do. I have other projects I'm working on, and a life to live that is stopping me from working on this 24/7. I have to write this comic before I draw it, too, so that's another reason.
I promise I'm trying to continue TTT. Please try to be patient with me.
This April, I made a video where I said the wait for TTT pages would be much longer because I found the process of making it exhausting, and I was more invested in other stories I was writing. This is all still true, and I'm sorry that I haven't told you until now. But there might be a way I can compromise Unfortunately, I think the only way to lighten the load on myself would be to lower the quality of the pages. There wouldn't be any clean lineart, but I'd still do shading and stuff. I imagine taking just one step out would make it easier, but I want to let you all decide.
What will it be? Long wait/higher quality, or short wait/lower quality?
