The next batch upload will be the ending of the chapter, so that's something to look forward to :-) And here is also some alternative dialogue lol

edit: Because the previous post is not loading for some (because buggy?) I included the last batch of pages in here as well (and deleted the previous one, exactly when it just started working again X'D). Sorry for any confusion this caused! Shouldn't happen again!

Reuben is just scribbling, like when you have nothing to do while telephoning.

Here's a zoom in on the doodles:

ongoing content warnings: child abuse, domestic violence

WE ARE FINALLY THROUGH THE REUBEN FLASHBACK, WOHOOOOOOOOOO.

Next we will get back to the present timeline! I am more glad than you about that, haha! I feel exhausted from these batches, so I will take on the next steps slowly, but I'll be continuing with stuff (and probably try to reduce some details)!

Thanks so muc...

Same content warnings as before: child abuse, domestic violence

C!!9 pages 21-30

And the next 10-pages batch!

Content warning for violence, child abuse, domestic violence etc, as this is graphic in this (and the next) update.

I tried to simplify my layer composition and also the number of text layers, to make working on the pages easier. In the process I figured out how to do a bit more "organic" way of the colored "thought bubbles" I use, so they look a bit different than before (but barely noticable). The process already got a little bit quicker through that...

Omg, this took me too long, all the little table things and food or homework related items ... I need to reduce some details to survive this comic lol

Tape 9 sketches

I finished the sketches of CRUSH3D!! Tape 9, and if you want to, you can check them out already and if you have any give me feedback, that I can maybe implement in the final pages! But please proceed with caution, because the chapter contains severe + visible domestic/child abuse!

Take care <3

Hoodie Archive vol.3

Hello guys~

Next week I'm gonna be released from hospital.

Finally, after being in and out of (3) psych wards for the whole first half of 2025 :'-)

We will see, what I can do when I'm back home and once I have settled back into my own life. It's gonna be a bit scary for me, trying to catch up with everything that I left behind, and trying to get back to work, without immediately overwhlming myself again.

Like I said, drawing in hospital was impossible, so I only man...

Time out!! illustration

As I am slowly working on some illustrations and stuff I will need later for the bonus part of book 3 .... (even when it's far away), I did this (fitting to the earlier two) double spread illustration.

This took me like 3 weekends at home lol.

Hospital therapy is more consuming than going to a full time job, plus doing homework, I have no time or energy for anything else left ;__;v

Reuben redraw

Hello~ Happy Easter everyone!

Currently (as announced) I'm doing another psychiatric hospital stay, to hopefully stabilize myself for the future! So I'm only home for a night on weekends (for the next long while as well). And I really don't have much time to draw, but I still wanna continue with some things here and there!

For volume 1 and 2 I already redrew the first drawing of Carter and Scott ever, and for the volume 3 bonus chapter, I also needd to redraw Reuben.

Heyho! Even when you're only doing super little and that super slowly ... I guess at some point a chapter will still be done nonetheless. So I hope you are happy about this surprise completion of chapter 8. I don't know yet what will happen to anything after this, as I'm only thinking in small chunks, so pls don't expect anything else soon, but at least...

Just a lil nsfw something from the void!

Not drawing much rn but somehow this got done!

(Thanks everyone so sooo much for the nice words of encouragement and messages to my last long post here. I will keep communication sparse until further notice, but when I finish something like this here, why not share it~)

Farewell

TL;DR

  • I will stop drawing & posting & working on the comic on Patreon, Social Media, comic Apps like Webtoon, Tapas, etc, to take a mental health break.

  • I deactivated my personal twitter account

  • This hiatus may be short, maybe until a completely different era of my life, maybe forever. I can't say anything yet.

  • The Patreon tiers all dissolved; Y'all should be un-pledged, and re-pledging is super op...

Hugcember 1-5

I started a drawing challenge for myself, with hopes to get comfortable with my art style and a more concentrated workflow again. So I hope I can do a full advent calender/ daily drawing in December, themed around hugs.

Here are the first 5 pictures! (I post them on my art twitter daily first, but I thought a collection of 5 would be better for Patreon)

idk if the pages are readable enough in the web view, so the are also attached as a download (but it's the same stuff)

I still need to rename/redo the logo of "crumbles" to "crumbs" but finishing the scenes already made me stay up way too long, so bye lol

CW: domestic violence/ child abuse

7 new pages :3, which means we are now at page 40~, which is the half on the chapter.

For the second half, I need to think of drastic workload-reducing ways or a workflow where I can find my concentration and a bit of energy again because ... the way I crawled through this first half was hell oof.

CONTEXT:

We're way later in the story. Carter and Scott share a hotel room. (This happens often, cause the team often stays overnight at the away game places). They pushed their beds together cause they already have a history of (not romantic) sexual contact, that increased in intensity over some time (How it started ...

Not to say "We are so back!!", because these few pages took me forever (and I think the next ones will as well) ... But at least I returned to working on the real pages of the comic.

So, here is the tiny start of chapter 8!

Being away from this task really made me forget how to be efficient and how I did things before, so drawing this felt like "test pages" all over again! But I will try to organize my work flow back to something more functioning! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE SO MU...

I finally am through with my (scribbly scrunkly) layout sketches for the next chapter(s).

Reuben POV in downloads below: TAPE 8, Tape 9, Tape 10 [CW: domestic (child) abuse]

This is "BEHIND THE SCENES" material, so if you don't wanna look at it, you will not miss anything, as I will make these real pages later on. [[Everything is still subject to deviate from this draft]]
