Where I’ve Been and the Future of the Comic

I will begin this by saying that I am really sorry to have gone this long without an update. It wasn’t my intention and I know I should have made this a lot sooner. 

Quite frankly, things have been so hectic in my life that I got out of rhythm when working on personal projects, such as this comic. I hit some heavily severe depressive episodes and I’m sure I hurt a lot of people around me with some of my outbursts because of it. This isn’t an excuse, just an explination, and is something I have to answer for and work to fix on my own.

Now that I am finding time for personal projects and personal things (I started playing FF14 for instance, im willing to share my username if anyone plays on Primal and wants to play. I started actively writing my original stories and doing original art more. I started posting one of those original stories online as well) I had to re-evaluate some prior projects and what I would drop, keep, and re-imagine.

Now, onto the comic. 

Sad to say it, but I will be dropping it. I will keep this blog up as an archive and maybe one day I might come back to it to finish, but as of this moment I don’t have any drive to actually complete the comic as is. I still have my notes, so I will go over the changes I intended to make, which is mostly centered around the characters Elci and Nora Geep. 

(Funfact, Nora Geep is seeing new life in one of the original stories Im posting online)

Elci

The thought behind Elci was mostly that she would be used to show Sans and Papyrus that there was a chance at a better life with someone who cared for them. She would have eventually come into contact with Sans and Papyrus which would reveal two things about her to the audience: She had met them before, and she was a prototype Shapeshifter that was to be ‘discareded’ by Gaster and Dr. Felix.  Sans would not have a clear memory of this, Papyrus no memory, but Sans would have a faint recollection of her abused shapeshifted form in Gaster’s lab and being wheeled away by Dr. Felix to be ‘disposed of’ (dusted, but she managed to crawl away and survive instead of freezing in the snow, which is when she would have been found and taken to the doctor by the Dog Pack). Elci would have recognized Sans and Papyrus immediately and had a meltdown, which would keep her from revealing this until Sans and Papyrus were taken. She would have been able to tell Grillby and the authorities the door codes and secret lab location as she would still remember what/where they were.

At the end it would also reveal Dr. Felix was her father, and that her mother had dusted prior to the start of the comic. He offered his daughter as an experiment subject due to his own grief on losing his wife and because Gaster needed monster subject and Elci was a rare Chimera-Type (made of 3 or more types of monster: Deer, Abstract, and Reptile). You can see some of these hinted at in Bio’s and also some of the character’s reactions in comic (Elci could sense Sans and Papyrus when she was at Grillby’s, Dogressa is aware she is a Shifter and was nervous when Grillby brought them up, Felix can be seen in the flashback where Dogamy had ripped out his eye, ect).

The last shot I had planned of her would have been her running around with Sans and Papyrus in their shifted forms, finally free of Gaster and Felix’s looming presence in her life. 

Nora Geep

Nora is an interesting character in that her influence wasn’t really needed all that much, but made it a bit more believable in terms of some of the background aspects. So her story in the comic was rather limited, but where she had influence was meant to have the most impact. 

If you haven’t picked up on the foreshadowing: She is Grillby’s estranged wife. The two had married Pre-War and only seperated some time after being sealed in the Underground. Despite this, they actually aren’t divorced yet and Nora still wears her wedding ring and wedding band (The gold ring and golden scarf she wears in her hair). She took over the role of Archivist from what would have later been revealed to be Seam from Deltarune. 

The reason for their split was because of her burn: it would have been revealed that Grillby had accidentally burned her during a PTSD episode and he basically chased her out to protect her. She was against it, but relented more to Asgore and Toriel’s urging since she could barely walk after first recieving the injury. Grillby would have narrated that he opened his restaurant sometime after and that he had some regrets about it, since she had always wanted to open a place where people could relax, enjoy good food, and maybe read a good book or two. (Funfact: In a Deltarune short I was planning for after this she would have opened a book cafe with Grillby in the town)

The reason for her strained relationship with Gaster is because she gave him the logs, books, and research on Shifters that led to Elci’s abuse and Sans and Papyrus’s creation. She was unaware of Sans and Papyrus, but did learn of Elci after she escaped and was horrified that letting him into the archive let this happen. Since she blames herself, she shut herself off completely from Gaster and anything to do with the Research Labs, even when Asgore would ask that she share. This would have come to a head right before Gaster made an attempt to reclaim Sans and Papyrus, as Nora would have found out about them and would have begun making moves to help. Gaster would have taken some of the other cast offs with him and gravely injured Nora, resulting in a lowered security in Snowdin as they would have been looking for Nora’s attacker. (They would not initially known who it was as she was unconcious when found by Berdley and Noelle). She would not have made a fully recovery by the end of the comic, but would have shown up with Berdley and Susie in tow to help Asgore and Gnash against Gaster and the other Skele-dogs. 

The final scene I had planning with her was Grillby and her having a heart to heart in Grillby’s about their past and the present. I would have left it open ended on if they got back together or not, but the following seen would have been Asgore welcoming Seam back as the Senior Archivist and Berdley as a newly assigned Junior Archivist to replace him once his training was done. 

Noelle would have been revealed to taken over as Royal Scientist and a hint that Alphys would become her apprentice in the future. 

Some other things I would have revealed were what happened to the other Skele-dogs afterword (I mentioned it in a post before) but shots of them being found by various characters and taken in, such as the recurring Green One being taken in by Asgore temporarily. There would have been a shot of Flowey at one point as well. 

I will answer any lingering questions if anyone has them, I will keep this blog open and will ocntinue to answer questions as they come in. Feel free to reach out. 

Sorry, I should have made this post a lot sooner ^-^;;

I'm not Dead, I swear.

And come hell or high water neither is this comic.

I've been meaning to make an update for awhile but due to timing and such I just never... got around to that. Sorry.

Anyway, as you guys can probably tell the comic is on an extended hiatus. I say Is and not Was because it will stay on hiatus for a bit longer due to recent events.

For the most part I've been really overworked by my job. I'm generally working from about 5:30am and I'm not home till close to 5pm which, as you can probably tell, results in me being EXTREMELY tired most days.

Also one of my coworkers is one of those delightful types that likes to call in sick on the days I SHOULD have off and she doesn't. She has done this multiple weeks in a row and we are pretty sure it is part of her targeted harassment of me.

Also my tablet is broke. Yeah.

The one I used to make this comic. Had that thing for almost ten years.

Not sure HOW it got wet (got some theories) but it got wet while it was charging and fried the entire thing. Really sucks, but until I buy a replacement it means I physically cant start working on the comic again.

(Which also means I'll get to delightfully redo the rest of the chapter)

So yeah, I've basically been really overworked and tired and then my tablet got fried. Not sure when I'll be able to buy a replacement but until then and when I dont spend most of my free time sleeping from exhaustion the comic is kinda on hiatus.

Sorry, I'm hoping to be back by mid May tho!

#comic wizard speaks #sorry

[trustandblasters]

Not a question, but I found your comics for the baby blasters au and I am screaming right now. Thank you 🙏

Thanks!

And I swear this comic isnt dead XD I started a new job that's had me working 15 hour shifts 7 days a week for like... 2 months.

Then I had covid and genuinely thought i was going to die.

And now I'm back to work, but we got more people so I'm only doing 9-10/hr shifts, 7 days a week instead of 15 hours!

#comic wizard speaks #im very tired #but i do have the rest of the chapter sketched out #so once i can work on it again i will #also my birthday is on the 20th #im turning 29 #i feel old

Some of the old art I did for the AU on my main account before Sister Location was released.

Look how shitty my art used to be!

#fnaf #comic wizard speaks #misc stuff #non trust stuff

[trustandblasters]

What was your freddy's au about that it accurately predicted a bunch of stuff? What did it predict anyway?

So, the AU never really had an Over-Arching story, it was more like a bunch of mini-stories and scenes in a singular idea.

I came up with it when Fnaf 3 initially came out and came up with the idea that the Player Character was female, and from there the AU was born.

My specifically, the AU is centered around my MC, Charlie Afton, who is the daughter of William Afton (Charlotte, aka Charlie was her original name and I added the Afton part once it was canonized with Silver Eyes). She was the CEO of Fazbear Entertainment originally but after SL came out I updated it to her being the CEO of Afton Robotics with FE being a Subsidiary company of hers (so she still technically owns them). She was a tall and lanky red head with freckles that had learned all her mechanical skills from her father and her business sense from her father's best friend.

I had made it so her Dad had a best friend (I never decided on names since they were unimportant) that founded the Fazbear and Robotic companies as a join company after the popularity of the Diner (Freddy's Diner) made them realize there was a Market for the property. They made the pizzerias, event locations with animatronics, and even a few cartoons that were popular.

Charlie had a best friend, originally named Mary in the AU that was killed by William and became the one haunting the Puppet when she was still fairly young. She also had an older brother that took off as soon as he hit 18.

After her father and his friend (we'll call him Henry for simplicity sake) disappeared she was named the new CEO. Then her father's 'Legacy' was and she made sure to distance herself from him in the media.

She would often go incognito to work in the animatronic workshops and warehouses since she genuinely loved working on them and she even has her own private warehouse only she and her apprentice mechanic can get in, though it does have a Showroom where people can view the deactivated animatronics or 'relive' the Fazbear Fright stuff if they are brave enough. She also regularly goes out under a pseudonym in order to locate and move her father's old animatronics from abandoned sites or to get them from private collectors who dont realize the danger. Some animatronics that were at large she would have to lure in using fake pizzerias or similar sites using her father's or children's voice clips to lure them in, such as the Puppet.

The first main story was the introduction, with her as the guard in 3 keeping Springtrap at bay until her apprentice could sneak up and disable the animatronic, leading to them bringing Springtrap to her personal warehouse with William's other animatronics. From there I had it set that Charlie was actually more of a prolific serial killer than her father, she simply had a different target demographic and her mechanic apprentice was also her accomplice who had admired William's work. Her targets often being people she and her accomplice trick into going into the showroom at night and becoming a new 'Night Guard' to simulate the old games.

I had a bunch of animatronics she also made and used, such as a Wolf, Hippo, Frog, and Mouse. When Sister Location came out I retooled them to be Animatronics that Charlie had specifically made for private functions and events, with Ennard being a private animatronic for her that helped her with her work (he was more noodley/tentacle like similar I guess to Mangle) and his voice was specifically made to sound like William's.

She also did genuinely despise what her father did, but more because she thinks kids are to easy a target and adults give more challenges and thrills. She is also heavily interested in the curious property of the Animatronics ability to entrap souls and part of her killings are to replicate the trait from her father's animatronics.

Other characters would have included Mike Schmidt, who would have been working to uncover what Charlie was doing (he had a gut feeling but no proof), Veronica, a woman who had been one of William's accomplices during his prime and now works to being in bait for Charlie or be a 'fake' animatronic in a costume that uses a knife (it is a foxy knock off in the AU), and her brother that would would also play an antagonistic force after his son got killed by one of their dad's animatronics, and Henry who would also become allies with Mike to catch Charlie and her accomplices.

As you can probably tell, there are a lot of things I predicted XD

The existence of Book/Game Henry, Charlotte, Elizabeth, and the new Stitch Rabbit/Programmer Girl from Help Wanted/Security Breech though obviously I got a name switch around.

I also somehow correctly identified Henry's Daughter as being the spirit in the Puppet and Elizabeth being murderous like her father, and the fact that she had at least one sibling and that the Bite of '89 may have been a relative of Purple Guy's (the theory of the kid from 4, as the process shown is how I had the grandson set to die but replace older brother with School Bully).

Also the concept of making a fake Pizzaria to lure in and trap Animatronics (even getting down to specifically the puppet being one), that it was partially set up by a relative of Purple Guy, and that there is something about Purple Guy's Animatronics that is entraping souls (as revealed by the Funtime Diagrams), that they had animatronics that could be rented out for private functions, and that William would eventually "Team Up" with his daughter so to speak.

It was all based on headcanons and ideas I had and like I said I never had an over-arching plot to it, just small stories or ideas and pictures I did (like if you looked at a lot of the art with Charlie and the Animatronics you wouldnt actually know she was a pretty successful serial killer, and I had a lot of ideas about her true feelings and previous relationship with her Dad before he became Springtrap that I hinted at with Ennard above).

Some stuff changed when Sister Location came out (such as OC animatronics being replaced with the funtime animatronics, but the Rental Animatronic and unique property to cage souls was already there, and it is also what spawned my accomplice theory)

But yeah, that was the ideas behind it. I still sometimes doodle stuff for it, but nothing serious. I might do some stuff now to update it and what not thanks to Security Breach.

Like, I still have the tumblr URL I was going to use for it until a bunch of drama made me to nervous to post anything

I really miss working on my Fnaf AU even though Sister Location and on completely invalidates it.

It is kinda funny because my AU managed to correctly guess/predict many of the bigger twists and reveals in Sister Location, Pizza Simulator, and Help Wanted (I started work on the AU when 3 came out)

I know I've made my feelings on Yandere Sim very clear and I do think YanDev is a garbage fire of a person...

But I 100% sincerely and completely genuinely hope that everyone who has been waiting for Osana gets the amazing update they've been waiting for tomorrow when she drops.

You guys put so much effort into this game and spent so long waiting that I'm being absolutely genuine when I say I hope it lives up to your expectations and if it doesn't I want you all to know that I'm genuinely sorry it didn't. There wont be a "Haha, I told you" from me.

YanDev owes his fans more than he realizes I think and I genuinely hope he doesn't shit on you guys tomorrow.

#as someone who waited 10 years for a game to release #i feel the pain of waiting #so i have respect for people who do #i dont like YanSim or YanDev #but i wont shit on your parade #you guys played the long game

[trustandblasters]

Osana is releasing tomorrow, what do you have to say about that hater?

That only took 6+ years and a competitor that didnt cow to his bullying.

You know he is only making actual progress on this stolen asset flip because someone might actually complete his idea before him right?

If you are a fan of the game, you do you. It has all the entertainment value if a trash bin fire so I couldn't care less about it. I doubt I'll play Love Letter when it's done either.

I'm not really all there for games about minors killing each other, yknow.

But I think it's nice that you love it enough to defend it. The game must have some good merit still to get such dedicated fans that they'll insult and go after others who dont like the game.

I genuinely hope that when Osana releases that it is everything you hoped and you have an amazing time with the game. You guys seriously played the long game waiting for this so I hope it lives up to your hype and dedication!

I'll be over here in my corner, finishing up the last few chapters of my novel before the inevitable edits and rewrites.

#i eas going to work on pages for chapter 5 #but got side tracked by writing my novel and going back to work at the school #sorry about that #but i do hope the people waiting for Osana have fun with the update #and i mean that genuinely #i hope she comes out and lives up to the hype and demand everyone has been building

[trustandblasters]

How've you been? Anything new? How was the soap u got from spacegate's store?

Been doing good, mostly working and chipping away at the comic and some other art (such as a pretty big commission), so hopefully I'll get the next 10 or so pages of Trust up by Monday.

I've been working on turning a side blog of mine into a blood dedicated to just posting art, world building stuff, and later full comics/chapters of my original works. the blog is under construction but I'll post a link when it's done.

The soap was pretty great! I'll probably order the oatmeal cookie one again (goats milk base does wonders for my skin) but I havent tried to brownie scented one yet. The little sample uses a glycerin base which tends to dry out my skin so it became a little decoration for my sink's decor basket

[trustandblasters]

Funfact, when I was in highschool I told my partner at the time that if I ever did have a kid and it was a son, i would name him Orion.

We broke up after our senior year when I moved to California (he didnt believe long distance could work). About 5 years ago I found out he now has a son.

Named Orion.

I wasn't to happy about that.

[trustandblasters]

Orion? Did you get a kid?

Nah, I have no interest in having kids XD

This is Orion! A corgi puppy I just got today!

I've been working on getting a corgi for like... 9 months now XD saving up and what not and I finally lucked out with a puppy!

[trustandblasters]

"Whenever you are lost, or are searching for what has been taken those of Snowden recommend seeking out the one made of Stars"

I was mostly dicking around in medibang because I'm so excited to get Orion tomorrow that I felt like doing a doodle-ish thing of something similarly star themed.

You've seen this character in Ch.05, Pg.01.

I'm genuinely happy with how this came out.

#space cat #her name is andromeda btw #she'll be important later #also she's my nod and homage to spacegate

[trustandblasters]

May I ask for a few pictures of your cat Papyrus?

She's still pretty small but she is still adorable (and a little shit)
