Now, ignore the fact I said I'd write about this yesterday.

So a few days ago I was clearing out the drafts from an unused tumblr sideblog of mine, and stumbled across an ancient post about someones speculative evolution science fiction comic idea I'd thought looked interested in around half a decade ago. I went to check out the OPs blog, and long story short! It's an actual comic now! A series of them! Still a WIP, but it's genuinely incredible how much progress they've made in that time; not just in creature design and worldbuilding, but how much they've completed even as rough pages. I was going insane scrolling through it. Like, tearing up slightly, getting all emotional thinking about how fucking long it must take to work out the specifics of every detail and how much effort it must be. As you can imagine, I spent a little over six hours combing through their blog to see it all. And then signed up for the patreon. And then spent the rest of that day and the majority of yesterday scrolling through that.

And here I am today; fucked up. I love being so enthusiastic about stuff, but christ, I wish I was still conscious of time passing while I have fun. Developed a migraine so bad I got up in the middle of the night to go vomit, and I swear to god it's still hanging around. My eyes still won't focus right. My wrist hurts more than it did back when I was 260 hours into Stardew Valley. I feel like a ghoul stumbling around today after the fever dream of interspecies friendship. Cannot stress enough how worth it it was. Once I finish with all the related content and make it to the actual comic pages, you will never hear from me again. ^__^ I am having the time of my life but the amount of codeine I'd require to function as a person again after this would kill me first.
