Time flies when you're making a thing.
Later than I wanted it to be (set to the actual anniversary date for less confusion), I really thought I could knock this one out in a day, lmao. Though I did make a cake on the day. Butter sponge with a citrusy icing.

Also put together a speedpaint here.
If you watch you might notice some the background dancers and the all-Ari band didn't make it into the final piece, but I sent you all to Ari's concert on a separate image instead.

Main story is coming along well, but I've been sick a few times so I haven't really been posting progress. If you're unaware I do that, you can check out the latest one I just uploaded right here. Something to tie you over while Ch15 cooks. I don't think I'll be making my goal of 3 chapters this year, but I'm confident I'll crank one more out before the end of 2026.
Thanks for reading along with me for 8 years.

I really like what you’re doing here rustyhearts <3 Im so proud of you and your improvement, reading old parts of the comic and comparing back then to now is honestly such an amazing read and I love it. I came here from a hate video, where the person was talking bad about it but this is actually such a great comic and a really cute premise. I love the characters and story a lot! so well made and put together
