After a certain point being a fan of something often really just becomes
Yes, I want to see these characters again. No, I don’t want an official continuation or revisit of this piece of media and its characters. What I enjoyed about this is my super specific view and interpretation of this media, which is seemingly completely at odds with what the creator(s) intended or deemed important about it. Just leave these characters and this setting be, because at this point no official continuation could ever recapture what I liked about this. If there is a sequel to this story then I guess it would be neat if these new characters are related to the old ones, but. Just leave them be. Don’t force them into another thing. Let things be done.
Wei Ying: Sorry, I can’t let Lan Wangji hold me by the waist like that again ;___;
Me: Goddammit, alright, have it your way, but I’m going to draw the most intense panels of you putting your hands on his shoulders.
Is Lan Wangji flinching cause it’s Wei Ying who’s touching him so fiercely? Is it the fact that his scars that are barely healed yet hurt from that grip? You decide!

Arc 2 has come to its end!
Yes, I can’t believe it too. It’s been 11 months since I posted the arc’s cover image. I’ve been through so much since then, so much of my life has changed and yet working on this project, providing 4 pages every week, was somewhat of a blessed constant and fairly, I’m going to miss it.
I have to say that I’m very grateful to you, the readers, because your excitement with this story and the wonderful comments and questions and interest and insights you left on each part is what kept me going and also helped me understand my story better, so THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
A HUGE THANK YOU TOO FOR MY PАТRОNS!!!! I wouldn’t have been able to do NONE of it if it weren’t for your amazing support. You have no idea how grateful I am that you are giving me the opportunity not only to create this story for you and for others, but to also develop myself further as an artist (this is the first time I do a long comic of such a scale and by thinking about you when I make updates every week, I think how much better I can make my work). Your support is also a huge help with my daughter, not only because you help me provide for her, but also because in spite of the fact that taking care of her gets more and more difficult, you being there keeps me motivated to not give up on drawing and succumb to 100% life of a mother and a housewife. You save me <3.
So what now?
Now I will work on extras for members of the peke-king tier on my Pатrеоn. I will create extra comic pages, a few more arts, and a funny comic strip. When all of that is done, I will create the PDF and upload it to the shared drive (I think this arc+extras is going to be about 200 pages!!) after that, I will take a break from HoG to finish other MDZS projects I halted, and after those are done I will take a break entirely to reread MDZS and consume all its media again, so I will remember forgotten parts and get that spark ready for Arc 3!
So absolutely stay tuned!
Thank you all again for being with me in this journey, and hope you enjoyed the story! <3
I’ve been on a White People Expedition Diary kick recently. I see why Lovecraft was fucking obsessed with this as a framing device, they are insanely compelling.
July 17th, 1884: “Food supplies are low. The Dutchman has eaten so many dog livers that he is now hallucinating from vitamin A poisoning, which is a thing that can happen apparently.”
July 18: “We kicked that faggy Austrian botanist into a ravine. Lmao. Had a lovely bath.”
July 19th 1884: “The Dutchman has been confined to the sled. We have sacrificed our belts to restrain his movements, lest we lose another Austrian to his Poop Madness.”
July 20th 1884: “The men are demanding I leave behind my bathtub. I will not.”
