I don’t personally care much for game of thrones, but there’s something so fucking insane about all of that kind of stuff happening to moles, that just makes it impossible not to read this book

I put my short comic "Milkweed" up for free on itch! Made in 2020, it restored my love for drawing and comics❤️‍🩹 A forest spirit's peace is disturbed by a stranger trespassing in the woods. What must he do to scare this odd man away? And does he even want him to leave...? surmulefyr.itch.io/milkweed

it's pay what you want, but it's been online for free for 6 years various places (it's on here too, it's just a mess to uplad longer narratives), now it's on itch and will stay there, it's the easiest way... if you want it but can't pay anything don't feel bad, i just want you to read it <3

Shout out to all the people out there suffering from autistic burnout, it’s difficult to accept that we can never be the way we were before, but it’s just our bodies looking out for us 🥺👍

I only within the past half year realized that’s what happened to me so I’ve been trying to force myself back to the level I was before, thinking it was long covid or because I didn’t eat enough protein, but sometimes you’re just autistic in the world and that messes you up

you know when youre reading a book and theres 40 pages left and youre like "How will this end well" and then theres 20 pages left and you're like "How will this end well" and theres 10 pages left and you're like "How will this end well" and there's 1 page left and youre like "How will this end well"

Went to buy my nephew a bday present, and kids don’t know how lucky they are, if this had been at the toy store when I was 12 my brain would have exploded

All summer I had gotten one mosquito bite, until two days ago and now I have like 18. Too many at the same time. They are all on my legs except for one on my chest. This is what hell feels like

Hey everybody! I'm doing this thing over on tapas and webtoon, and wanted to open it up to artist on here who might not keep up with the comic regularly since I know some of you read in bulk instead of weekly!

Yeah, so I am nonbinary and I make a historical dark urban fantasy comic with a nonbinary (bisexual) MC about traumatized monster hunters looking for closure. It launches July 23rd! And that’s my official nonbinary awareness week post. Please be aware of Callow Hearts, Hollow Bones.

my arm is doing better today but i'll still refrain from drawing. my worst enemy is "being almost fine" because i get so mad when i feel like i can do something, but i shouldnt...

@surmulefyr.bsky.social

i did overdo drawing yesterday and i knew it, but its difficult when you are working on somehting you love! no drawing today, and possibly not tomorrow either. I've always been bad at doing nothing, but not being able to use your arm really makes it hard to do anything. its a good way to realize you

have value even if you can't do things. important thing for me to learn. neglect often leads to finding value in what you can do for others/give the world. Sometimes all you can do is just exist, and that is enough.
