The Tales are changing once again.. But for the last time.

Wow that’s cryptic huh? What does that mean. Well down everyone I have a lot to tell you.

Now, some of you might roll your eyes at what I am about to say but all of this is true, so bear with me.

For the last 4 years I’ve been living in a depression “mire.” I let my depression get the better of me and I wasn’t able to recover by myself. My depression manifested as junk, trash, and just a general poor living condition. I unintentionally trapped myself, because I was determined to help myself, by myself. Because I had the notion in my head that I had to. I just had to.

Well, needless to say I wasn’t able to. In fact, I only recently got out - but only because I was pulled out. I finally allowed for my roommates to help me. Moku helped me for 8 hours straight last weekend and we actually, completely, cleaned my room.

We cleaned my room. My bathroom. And now recently my closet (That one all me! Yesss 💪😤)

WIth my space being in order for the first time in nearly half a decade, I’ve already felt some changes. My memory is already a little better, but I still struggle. I’m starting to have positive motivation come to me again. I’m doing better.

Now I still have depression. I still have to take my meds, but now I’m just not being weighed down by the seemingly impossible mountain of filth that was before me.

So, how are the Tales changing?
Again, this might make some eyes roll but this is something I’ve been contemplating for a while. I only recently was able to find the confidence to really commit to what I want.

Tales of Metapha is changing once more, but for the last time. Nothing with the story is changing, it’s just the presentation format. While on a road trip this weekend I was able to share my story with Moku, as I have with a few trusted others. She posed me a good question; Is a comic really how you want to tell your story?

The Answer? Yes. And no.

While I love comics there are certain things that I am now accepting are beyond my abilities as a single person. Because I am someone who sees themselves as a detail driven artist - simplifying things is really, REALLY hard for me. It’s almost painful.

So rather than a traditional comic, Tales of Metapha is going to be shifting to an illustrated Post-by-Post format. Some folks might call this the ’Homestuck’ or even ‘Prequel’ format, but it’s one that I know resonated with me. Some of you might remember when I initially started my own called Capris: Survival Quest - but then I had to back the fun-bus the fuck up because that tale - is a Tale of Metapha.

In this format, I am gonna be updating way more frequently. Every week day here on Patreon, a small blurb and a picture (or pictures; and eventually animations) to go with it.

Off-site, the story will update weekly on Mondays - but that won’t be until January (I have other priorities I need to catch up on too - I see you Commissions).

I’mma be real with y’all. Tales of Metapha is an Epic—and I’m not saying that just to toot my own horn. The story is long. Very long. I predicted the first story - as a comic - could take upwards of 10 years for me to complete by myself.
In this format - I’ll actually have a story to share.

So—When will the Week-Day posts start? They will be starting soon - I have a few things I need to revisit first, so those will be coming starting November 1st.

If you have any questions yourself, please feel free to ask.
