90% of this quickie comics motivation was the "babe alert at 5 o clock. No, that's 3 o clock" joke.
Sorry if you've already answered this somewhere,but I went looking and couldn't find much. You've mentioned four stories recently (Untitled Villainous Otome, Wisteria, Agares, and Doomsday Pivot) but I couldn't find which of them are finished (or are having chapters released regularly), and where to read/buy them. Thanks!
Untitled Villainess Otome and Wisteria are the same thing. The first is/was the working title for it, which I'm still using because in my mind it's still in "rough draft" state, with some major editing that I'd like to do before putting it in wide release. It's currently only on Patreon, but the reviews and comments have been kind enough that it might eventually find its way to RoyalRoad or Amazon as-is.
AGARES is currently Patreon-only. You can find the collection here, across six releases. The seventh is imminent, I've just been wrestling with the ending of the first book. Once that happens, it'll be up on RoyalRoad and almost a full book behind what's on Patreon, my fulltime project, though I don't currently think that AGARES will be another million word sprawling webfic, probably.
Doomsday Pivot is currently on the shelf. The first book is written, it needs some editing, and eventually it'll come out, but there's absolutely no way for anyone but me to read it. So, sorry.
So if you want to read either of the first two, you can wait and hope, or subscribe to Patreon. The third ... eventually, someday, probably, I guess.
Agares, Duke of Unscheduled Catastrophes
Agares has long occupied a strange corner of the demonological imagination, a figure both formidable and faintly absurd. In the old grimoires he appears as a venerable duke who rides a crocodile and commands legions, yet his powers lean toward the oddly specific: teaching languages, provoking earthquakes, and coaxing the disobedient back into line. He is a being of authority, but also of eccentricity, a creature whose mythic gravity is always tinged with a sideways grin.
Reframing him as a “demon Florida Man” does not diminish his stature; it reveals the archetype he has always embodied. Agares is the spirit of localized chaos, the patron of heat‑warped decisions made under a sun that feels too close. He is the mythic force behind headlines that begin with “Man Arrested After…” and end with something both catastrophic and strangely inventive. His crocodile steed becomes not a medieval oddity but a natural extension of swamp‑logic, a creature perfectly suited to the humid delirium of his domain.
In this modern retelling, Agares is less a duke of Hell and more a folkloric trickster of the subtropics, a being who disrupts the ordinary with a kind of cheerful inevitability. He speaks every language but uses them mostly to escalate arguments. He shakes the ground not out of malice but because he is bored, impatient, or trying to get someone’s attention. His miracles are misdemeanors; his catastrophes are teachable moments; his presence is a reminder that entropy has a sense of humor.
To invoke Agares is to acknowledge the part of the world — and the part of oneself — that thrives on the unpredictable. He is the spirit of the sun‑bleached roadside, the swamp‑edge liminality where order dissolves into improvisation. In this guise, he becomes not merely a demon of antiquity but a living archetype of contemporary folklore, a bridge between the Goetic past and the chaotic present. Through him, the mythic and the absurd find common ground, and the world becomes just a little more enchanted by its own strangeness.

Agares musing very philosophically over his good friend Noah Nevernight.
The second symbolic application of Agaros's image as a man riding a crocodile mirrors two of the forms of the Egyptian Sun deity recalled in the Spell to Helios in the PGM. In this, the deified Sun is described as having the form of a crocodile named AERTHOE “in the twelfth hour” and the form of an old man when setting in the evening. In the Egyptian funerary text Amduat, the twelfth hour is that in which Ra's passage through the nocturnal underworld culminates as the Sun rises in the East at dawn after triumphing over the snares of the world of darkness. In On the Egyptians, Porphyry informs us that the crocodile was the creature upon which the Solar bark rested as it swam through the potable water that the Sun traveled through in its daily journey through the heavens and the underworld. As a ward against evil, the crocodile was expressed in the form of the god Sobek, an apotropaic deity linked with fertility and martial prowess who protected the dead from the perils of the underworld. In the New Kingdom, his identity became fused with the sun god Ra, with his connection to that god being apparent in the composite deity Sobek-Ra and the Solar disc that adorns his crocodile's head in traditional Egyptian imagery. His connection to the sun god Horus is also strong, with Sobek being the god who assisted with his birth, who caught his sons in a net as they emerged from the primal waters, and who aided in retrieving the dismembered parts of his father Osiris's corpse from the waters that the storm god Set cast them into. This connection survives in the image of Agaros in the goshawk he carries, which can be paralleled with the falcon that represents Horus. At the other end of day, at dusk, the Sun's representation as an old man reflects the image of the god Atum—another manifestation of Ra—who, coming in the form of a snake, was the first god to emerge from the Waters of Chaos and is linked with the endings of things and carrying the souls of the dead into the stars of night. In combination with each other, the old man and the crocodile associated with Agaros represent both the rising Sun at dawn in the East and its setting in the West at dusk.
- David Crowhurst, Stellas Daemonum: The Orders of the Daemons (emphasis in bold is my own)
The reason I highlighted "who, coming in the form of a snake, was the first god to emerge from the Waters of Chaos" in bold is because I find it really circles back to the way Crowhurst describes Lucifer as the primordial first light taking the form of a serpent, and there's such an obviously Orphic ring to it as well (a primordial serpent rising from the primordial ocean hatching an egg giving birth to light), but it also has me thinking "did Ra or Atum actually appear in the form of a serpent at the dawn of creation in Egyptian mythology? That to me would be huge if true but I guess I need to find out.
