LOL, when they’re apart, Sahar and Acyn are forces of nature and absolute geniuses in their relative interests (Sahar with general trickery and getting out of things and being a generally amazing person. And Acyn with weirdly specific facts and nerdy stuff) but as soon as they’re together they dissolve into delightful chaos and fuel each other’s stupid side XD (Just wait until they’re with Liorah XD) Actually, I’m going to take Liorah and Ferran out now. They’ve had their fun and I’m going to miss them so much but I can’t manage four of them at once XD (Especially not these four XD)LOL YES!!! Too much chaos together!!!
I can’t wait either! It’ll be so cute! LOL, yes, I’m going to use them for maximum drama *Evil laughter in the distance*Yes and yes!
LOL, YES! That’s just the cutest comic! They’re adorable!! *Squeals happily*Aw thanks!
Thank you so much!! LOL, yes, that’s the most in-character thing for her ever XD Thank you! It was a really random character design feature, but I really love it about her!Yes indeedie so in character!
Ngl I kind of want to pick up Misu and hug him too, but he’s also the sort that wants to do that to everyone else lol (even city-destroying alternative realities who happen to be named Sasha. Especially city-destroying alternative realities who happen to be named Sasha.) The premise of your story sounds really cool! It was kind of a shock reading it though, since I thought it was this trippy reality bending deal this whole time. Also, can I just say that I love the way you draw people? Especially Rosy – she just looks very 3-d (that’s the best way I can say it lol). Like the form is very well done, and also how on earth do you draw hands like that? It looks really good, plus they’re just adorable!Aww Sasha does need a hug! *also, I need to see what happens in your story for him!!!*
Thanks, I’ve really enjoyed this story (and these characters I LOVE working with these characters!). Yep, trippy reality bending deal pretty much sums it 😁
Thank you, and I really loved the colors and the eyes for Misu *he looks so cute wanna hug him…* And for how 3D it Rosy looks! Mwahaha, there is actually an origin story for that in that a couple years ago we discovered I’m actually half-blind (left eye bad, but actually not bad my brain just decided it wasn’t worth the trouble and turned it off lol!) and could only see in 2D pretty much. Soo with therapy I got depth perception and that completely changed the way I draw and see things (bad pun intended XD). And that’s why I’m hyper-sensitive to 3D perception and draw it a lot! 🙂
How I drew hands like that…*actually has no clue and spends the next five minutes staring at the pic wondering how I drew those hands successfully…* *scratched head and grins sheepishly* Thanks…I guess it was mostly pigheaded determination…XDYeah Britain is to blame at the end of the day. I won’t go into the entire history, but basically they took over Ireland using colonising plantations, and since then the culture and language and religion of the native Irish was severely oppressed. Hence the Famine, hence immigration etc. There’s a reason English is our first languageHA THEM BRITS SO BAD WE AMERICANS HAD TO GET A NASTY DIVORCE, SIGNED, SEALED PLUS A RESTRAINING ORDER!!!
Plus yeeting their sissy lil’ teapots down the drain!!! 😎
*dumb Brits XD*@emily-waldorf HIIIIII *bowls over with a hug* ohmygosh your profile pic is so cute!! Uhhh man there a lotta characters in right now. Ehhh, there’s @rose-colored-fancy‘s Sahar literal-ray-of-sunshine and Acyn temperament-of-a-wet-cat, @irishcelticredflowercrown‘s theatrical dramaqueen assassin Lorcan, @noah-cochran‘s probably-not-human-and-really-smug-about-it thief Hugon, @rusted-knight‘s probably-has-the-most-braincells-of-the-group-cos-he-stays-out-of-their-spats super-soldier Klein @calidris‘s adorable lil ADHD literal angel Misu aaaaand I think that get everybody. I’ve got a diagnosed-as-a-sociopath ex-child-assassin and happy-go-lucky-practical-spider-monkey ADHD kleptomaniac trying to get them to kiss in a weird whatever simulation thingamubob but don’t mind them they’re off the regular storythread AND BETTER KISS SOON SO I CAN PULL THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!

She stares at me for a very long time and I nearly start to back up. What did I say…Oh. Oh I said I love you outloud! HOLYSPACEWARS I SAID THAT OUTLOUD!!!! I’m gonna die I’m gonna die she’s gonna pummel me I’m gonna die that was supposed to be a thought I’m gonna die!!!
“I didn’t say that!” I yelp like the ‘idiota’ I am. “I mean…I…-!”
Creak!
With a scream I lurch forward.

He…said…
Like a snap and a Santa Muerde, the towers crack loud as pistola. With a curse, I grab Ehud’s hood so he doesn’t fall as long as I can take the hits.
“Vamenos!” I’ve yanked him toward the other tower, reflective wall sharp as glass. Can’t remember the English for it, nevermind.
“That’s the one we left,” I’m not sure he was talking it’s so soft, but I heard. He must be loco if he thinks I’m going into the crumbling tower whatever game this is. “It looks better and the other one looks broken but maybe it’s–”
“No Ehud!” I can hear my voice crack I don’t have…feelings. Not a puzzle-girl, not a problem-solver, just a gun for your six, knife in the back. Not a protector…not a monster… “we’re not solving this we’re surviving!”
“It’s a trap…”
I can’t do this! Don’t make me choose, I can’t take another risk on your life!

“Trust me,” I whispered, begging her to listen. It’s a trap, just like this whole world. We want everything perfect but what’s broken on the outside is better than what’s perfect on the outside and death hole within. And maybe that’s all “what if’s” are here.
What if my mom loved me?
What if things were perfect?
What if we…could have what we want? Would we still want it?
“No!” Rosy choked. We can’t just–! She’s so scared of failing she sabotages the game…
I never told her I loved her because I was scared she wouldn’t say it back…
I never left her because I was scared she would leave me.
All this talk about trust and I never trusted her not to reject me like…like Mom and Dad and…and me…
What if we never worked this out?
What if people never change?
What if I’m wrong?
What if
What if
What if

“What if it doesn’t matter if we win or lose? What if all that matters right now is what we’ve got right now?
And trust is a chance you gotta take?”
Que mas da?
Crack! Is the last thing I hear before the devil breaks loose.
