It’s time, it’s finally time..! Come and celebrate the final book of the long-running webcomic, Widdershins, with its final Kickstarter! Victorian-era wizardry awaits in a series of fast-paced, goofy stories, brimming with heart and adventure!

A new queen is set to be crowned in Widdershins, though it may not be the one England expects..

It’s difficult to turn down a request from a princess at the best of times, even moreso on the eve of her coronation. But while finding a stolen crown ought to be no problem for famed bounty hunter Harriet Barber, upon reading the list of suspects she soon finds that this mystery is a little more personal than she’d bargained for. At the same time, something is approaching Widdershins from the depths of the ocean, something that doesn’t need a crown to call itself a ruler. The flow of magic is being disrupted at its very core, and with his fellow witches robbed of their power, it's down to Jack O'Malley to save the city; preferably while there’s still a city left to be saved.

All this and more, in the final book of Widdershins!

If you haven’t heard of my webcomic before, now is a great time to catch up! All eleven volumes are online and free to read, making for over 1300 pages of goofy magic adventures, starting right here. Give it a read if you can, and if you enjoy it, I’d appreciate it if you consider backing the Kickstarter! If you’re low on cash but wanna help out anyway, please spread the word by reblogging this post, sharing the webcomic’s site, or just telling a buddy who you think might enjoy it, which is the best thing you can possibly do for an indie comic..!

See? That's villainy... (I LOVE IT, KEEP GOING >:D)

Dw, I still remember the underground show actually if slightly bc i remember watching it when I was teen. I wanted to see more tails than just the AOSTH or the freedom fighters show alone.

Excluding Tails from underground? Yes, its the worst decision they made...

I know it might sound biased but come on! the fact they added knuckles there?!

Like excuse me, i was there because i wanted to see if there was anymore mention of the fox with the hedgehog, its still hurts!

Anyways, I remember loving Sonia if slightly...

As for the siblings' rivalry? Yeah, a lot of things could happen... so I indulged in how they'd be in the first few days of having the little guy...

Enjoy the mini-story! (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ

Yeah... a lot of lovely moments where the other siblings are like...

And finally for the instrument part... it's just my opinion but I think tails loves peaceful soothing melodies or music...

I thought of a flute for some reason...

Idk if I drew it right tbh, I never did drew instruments before...

And a little extra!

The fact the little kit has no idea he is living with runaway royalty hedgehogs is just hilarious XD

him being all shocked to know that his big brother supposed to be some kind of prince would make him try to be formal till Sonic assures him that he is chill being a free normal hedgehog than whatever the royalty is...

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

This is the equivalent to camp executions the Nazis did. It's exactly the same thing

Israel's Knesset passed a bill on Monday mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly acts of terrorism. The bill stipulates that the death penalty will be imposed on a terrorist who killed a person "with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel."

In doing so, the bill's wording creates a distinction designating it almost exclusively for Palestinian terror, while the ideological burden of proof it sets is expected to make its application to Jewish nationalist terror nearly impossible.

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

Yes, definitely, absolutely. I'm a sucker for ripping my own heart out by shipping characters where one is destined to die much earlier than the other for whatever reason. It's so friggin sad. But also interesting to see how each character deals with it.

Since Kit's cybernetics were developed using the metal virus, which has an "expiration date" of about 200 years, I imagine he and Surge will live about that long. You could argue that Starline may have fixed that bug when making them and say it's longer (or that he's effectively immortal), but I like the idea of ~200 years. Vulcan lifespan. Hehe. It would suit Someplace Kit's personality, with how stoic he is.

I did a doodle of Kit+Sails as old folks before, but I updated their designs for this ask. Pretty happy with how old Sails looks; I usually struggle to show age in animal characters. :3 He's supposed to be 80+ here. (No idea on old!Kit's outfit, hence him being a bit plain)

One of the reasons for Israel's forceful removal of organisations such as Doctors Without Borders is because they have outed Israel as the ones bombing hospitals, and not terrorists, as Israel have tried to claim. Doctors Without Borders now continue to speak up for and about Palestine to show the world what Israel is truly doing in Gaza, and to pressure them into allowing aid back into Gaza.

So here's hoping Chopper's inclusion as a mascot will get them more funding, and will get more people researching what Doctors Without Borders does - in turn, helping everyone see the truth of the genocide in Palestine.
