(bursts into flames) io and garrett are some of the folks sonder’s gonna become friends with!! i don’t really… have more references for either of them besides the one that was posted yesterday omg…. but! garrett is one of the kids in the house where ariel will be staying! they’re a very simple person, because they’re very genuine and to the point, and to be honest i consider them to be like a breath of fresh air? just, so genuinely nice and uncomplicated about things. they might also come across as the most Normal in their household, considering their best friends are a tailor, a model and a ghost! the Thing with garrett is that they don’t know what they wanna do with their life. they’re not Haunted by the feeling of “not excelling at anything”, but it Does sorta worry them, and they do what they can to fix it. they try lots of different activities and hobbies both in their home and abroad, so their staying in the apt isn’t uninterrupted, unlike their friends’. they’re just, so good. i think their easy-going-ness is what is going to make ariel hit it off with them! and io! io is one of the two people ignos is gonna crash with! they’re an old artist who’s a bit hard to describe -they can come off as harsh/rude when you first meet them, but… oh, wow, i hadn’t noticed. they’re very similar to garrett in the aspect that, what you See is what it Is. there Is some absence and even discontent from time to time in their face, but there is also calm and wisdom, and they have the very meaningful trait of being Open with you the second they meet you. they’re the exact same way with everyone! lately, they haven’t done much artsing as they’ve dedicated themselves to Crafting things, like their own canes and hats, silverware, accessories… but they took in an apprentice (amara) who was interested in what they had to teach in regards of drawing. um, a little history lesson is needed here -io’s a few hundred years old, and they’re descendants of a race that lived in a secluded part of the world. other races in other regions developed art Only through color -in most cases, this means no form, and no contour. io’s predecessors were Absolutely colorblind! they saw only in black, white and grays. because of this, their art evolved Exclusively through line. they sure cared about form. amara wanted to learn how to do it and io took them in! now, how io and garrett are related… is a spoiler! it might be a slice of life but there’s still a story behind it! 💕 but i can say that they live in the same building and have just, never spoken a word to each other. the big nerds

pal… buddy… i want you to know you’ve made me very, very happy legend is the term i use to refer to my original stories! i tag them all as “legend: [title]” to keep things neat. so yes, la comedia is one of them! have you heard of dante’s divine comedy? my comic is about him, mr. alighieri, being born in the wrong century and never getting to write his poem. so, before all this still-existing imaginary contained in his piece Crumbles down completely (along with all the people it contains, and taking with it the Influence it had over history and culture!), the guides he wrote about in it, beatrice and virgil, set off to find him and help him write the thing again so history can be set right. it’s a Very important and comforting project for me and i’ve been hyped about it since it started, so… really, thank you Immensely for this. i hope you have a most joyful week, here’s a dante just for you and me because 1) he wants you to be happy and 2) i’m a very self indulgent person
