This comic means a lot to me. Its existence is proof that I've had so many people to support me on this journey, and the ideas I hope to communicate within it are deeply personal. Thank you to everyone who is helping make it, engaging with it, and giving me the courage to share. As mentioned in the art above, these are the individuals I would like to specifically thank:

My older sibling, the Bat Cave Collective, aka @nebulapaws (who has their own (really cool and awesome) AU, @monstrous-fusion !). A lot of my ideas and inspiration comes from them. They are also a big help when it comes to games I don't know a lot about and don't have access to, such as Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks.

My best friend, the Rooftop Garden System, aka @therooftopgardensystem . They offer an important new perspective on my characters, which is invaluable. They've also proven to be incredibly willing to help me with things i personally struggle with, such as formatting my posts and adding image IDs.

Another member of my family, Glitch, aka @sodapop-glitch . She's been wonderfully kind and listened to me talk about my AU, even before I was sure about anything. It's an incredibly wonderful person that continously motivates me to draw more.

And last but not least, my favourite wretched creature, Bumble! Bumble has listened to me talk about my characters extensively, helped with gaps in my knowledge, and is a huge reason why my AU ever went past "silly brain blorbo". It's very likely I would've stopped working on my AU a year ago without Bumble. It has also been incredibly kind, offering to help me with things I cannot do easily, and its influence on my comic cannot be overstated.
