Ask the Scruple

39TheWolf here, sorry I haven’t made a post in a bit. Things have been hectic. I got a new kitten that literally just appeared on my porch and we took her in. Then my partner and I got sick. We’re still recovering from a nasty head cold.  Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Really.  Nattar and I have been thinking about how we want to tackle this, because it’s not going to be just Scruple. We have several characters we are going to be exploring that all tie in to one plot with Scruple at the heart of it all. To keep track of all the story threads, we are probably going to keep all the stories together on a separate blog or website that can be navigated and repost all the stories onto here. So that way new readers can navigate through easier.  Now for some news, this will technically be a reboot of Scruple. Also a format change. We’re going to do an illustrated story vs an interactive ask blog. There will be asks between the story releases, but this format will be easier for Nattar and me to be able to accomplish.  On another note, I’ve been working on character designs/redesigns of the main players in this story. Currently Scruple is partially done. Yay for that.  Hopefully with Nat and I on the mend, we’ll be able to work on stuff more.  Also please keep showing support! It really helps! https://www.tumblr.com/ask39thewolf

If so, please let me know. I’d love to know some people are still interested in me.  PLEASE READ 39TheWolf: Hi there, I’m Scruple’s creator, and I’m sorry there’s been basically no Scruple for a very long time. To say what happened, I was loving working on Scruple, and my partner and I were coming up with a lot of ideas to make this epic story, with multiple stories and characters intertwined, and I’m sad that I never got to really do that story. Scruple is and always will be one of my favorite characters I’ve ever come up with. Well, I was so saddened when my original laptop died, and I couldn’t work on him anymore. I did get work, but life kept pulling me away from being able to replace my computer and start working on him again. Then my mom suddenly died and I was in a dark place. I went through a series of unfortunate events and it honestly left me emotionally drained for a long time. I didn’t even draw for a good while, as I was at my lowest point. Being homeless, dealing with family betrayal, realizing how much of my life was not ok, but because it was normal to me, and I was a kind and sensitive person, I never realized it.  I eventually did get a new computer, and started drawing again. But at that point it looked like no one was interested in Scruple anymore, and then Tumblr imploded. So, I figured his project was dead.  Now, people are coming back to tumblr, and I wonder, does anyone still want to see Scruple’s story? Nattar and I have gone and refined the story, and, I think people would really love it, if given the chance.  However, I really cannot do this without interest nor support. I’ve been struggling for years to not just do things I love, but surviving in general. I currently don’t have a job, and prospects look thin that I’ll get one in the future, as not a single place I’ve applied to has given me a chance at an interview. On top of that, I tried to go back to school to get my degree, but I just couldn’t pay for it without some scholarships, and despite applying for so many, I struck out. And I would have to put myself in tens of thousands of dollars in debt to pursue the degree I want, and I’m not in a position to do that with assurance I’ll be able to pay the debt off.  So I’ve been going from commission to commission, and on rare occasions a donation. I’ve barely kept it all together, and I’m doing what I can to keep going. But it’s been hard. So please, let me know if you want to see Scruple again, and I’ll post what needs to be done to see this story actually come to life.  I need your support to do this. Like, comment, reblog, share so that this could be a thing.  And please support me and Nattar as the creators. Follow my main blog, my Ko-fi, other socials (if you want), and maybe we can really make this happen.  Thank you.  https://ko-fi.com/I3I7DVYN

So Nattar and 39-TheWolf have decided to move Scruple and other various stories attatched to Scruple, including: Ask Crowquill, Doctor Fobwatch, Dragonfly and Discord, and various others to Smackjeeves and Tapastic. There will be a soft reboot to format (and update artwork) to a comic page format. There will probably still be open asks boxes to accompany the story. However with the tumblr community waning and other issues the creators thought this would be the best move in the long run. Nattar and 39-TheWolf still want to share Scruple and other character's stories that make up a dramatic, whacky, and thought provoking tale of monsters and heroes. We have put in a lot of time and effort to clean up the time line and have begun scripting and planning for a soft reboot. The core of the story will be the same and all the previous posts will remain as well. However with so much story and branches of story that need to be told to make sense of the time travel and cosmic entities meddling with the affairs or mortals and immortal alike, there needs to be a better system than Tumblr allows for story telling. Nattar and 39-TheWolf will make further announcements as to when the first chapters of A Scrupulous Tale (Title not finalized), A Crow in Manehatten, The Royal War, and various others will be released. We hope to see continues support for these projects that we are excited to tell. We've been working on them for quite some time and are excited to finally pen them to digital paper. We hope to see you in the future. And don't worry, this blog will still be here.

Thank you so much for your support and love.
