WHAT. I've got a website too. How 'bout dat.


1.01 Promo by LilBluestem

I announced this on Tumblr already, but it's an episodic, slice-of-life series about the childhood of my guy Josh (& Jeshula). And YES, I will be posting it on DeviantArt too, but pages will go up a week late here, so you can always see a newer page at the site.

Since it's a story on childhoods, it's full of magic and familiars and ICELAND and sheep and characters of mine who've barely (or never) seen the light of day even though I've mentioned them from time to time, like Freyja, Sædís, Njóla, and freakin Josh's MOM Ása (all of which I am SO flippin excited about).

It also means he's not "Josh" just yet; he's Ari Ásuson.
 
This comic is going to be really dumb and fun. It may (....definitely will) even get serious sometimes. I have 8 minisodes planned. There's definitely potential to keep going after the finale, but we'll see how I feel when I finally get there. |D

I'm SO EXCITED. :la:

PS: If you're the sort of person who likes MUSIC, I have a playlist for the comic on Spotify. But thematically it does venture beyond the 8 episodes I have planned. ALRIGHT SEE YA.

Read more about my guy here:

1) How are you doing???

2) How active are you on deviantart??

3) Is there anywhere else you like to hang out nowadays??

4) Is anybody interested in reviving TeenHeroesUnited???

Lol if you're reading this MONTHS from now, PLEASE RESPOND LATE THAT'S TOTALLY FINE. : D

I've been radio silent for a shameful amount of time. I'm sorry guys. I've been lurking just... not... interacting... Which is awful. I know. :c

I can't ask you guys questions and not share a little about what's going on with ME, so:

  • I am still VERY MUCH invested in my characters and stories. I was just stuck in a debilitating mental block re: art for a while. Therefore... no deviantart for a while.
  • I'm in a pretty good place right now emotionally and with regards to life in general. (Took hackin' through some not-so-good places to get here, but such is life! c: )
  • My old man hedgehog is very sick right now and probably isn't long for this world. :c
  • I went to ICELAND in August with Sockless-Sheep, WickedStellar, and WritingInTheSky, (and we also met NatOreN while we were there!!!). Life changing experience. It feels like it was all a dream. Eating crowberries fresh off the ground and laughing at idiot fledgling arctic terns and stumbling upon waterfalls at every twist of the fjord-winding roads. What the heck??
    • Related: I now own a sweater that was hand-knit in the region of the Westfjords where Josh is from. You guys???!! :'< I absolutely did not cry about it.
    • Also met a guy in the Westfjords who was a fuckin real-life Josh. I shit you not. Absolutely did not cry about that either.
  • Iceland debugged the art-related bluescreen in my brain. I'm freeeee!! :'D
  • A bunch of us have been doing a project on Tumblr called You're In My Worlds Now, and you guys should follow me/us on Tumblr if you want to see that kind of junk. Also, if you're inclined, JOIN USSSS. :eager: It's very chill. c: Post when inspiration strikes.
  • I'm NOT leaving deviantart, at all, but if you happen to be on Tumblr that's definitely a better way to stay in the loop for me. Message me w/ who you are so I can follow you back!! I don't care if we talked like once, or never, just message me. >:I <3 (Also I try to tag things, so if you want to be spared politics or science posts or what-have-you, blacklist my tags. c: )

I'm the easiest person on the internet to stalk, so follow Lilbluestem on Tumblr and Instagram if'n you so desire! Warning, Instagram is mostly animals. Inktober kinda skewed the reality of how much art I post there lol. Sometimes I post cute stories about animals though?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hopefully this is the start of me getting back in the loop here. c: Some of you I get to talk to elsewhere, but for the rest of you?? I miss your faces. Hope to have many more adventures, online or offline, with the lot of you. <3

SugaMaple tagged me/Josh:  OC Tags and an UpdateFirst off, thank you to everyone who contacted me and commented on that last journal. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do but..it's nice that people were concerned and really care. I can't thank you guys enough. :heart: Life is just..well it's rough. I need to figure something out as soon as possible but at least I have my job back so it has been a great distraction. But I have a double sinus infection and upper respiratory infection so..xD Hopefully that will go away quite soon. Z-packs are amazing~

PS: I've been really busy the last few weeks. Sorry I haven't been around. It's a combination of Brain and Life. Not sure when things will calm down or when the art drive will come back, but I'm not going anywhere... c:

 I guess let's jump right in.

Josh and Jeshula



This is going to be hard because I've already shared so many things during Headcanon Fridays at TeenHeroesUnited... Apologies if you already knew these things.

1) Before Jeshula had a physical form, she was an intangible projection of plasma.

2) In that form her shapes were unlimited, but her favorite toward the end was a fish.

3) I said in that OC Questions about Josh journal that I associated him with the Farm Boy trope, but Josh is an actual farm boy. Sheep farming is a major source of income for some of his sisters.

4) He lived in Norway with his mother and some other sisters for several years before he left "home." That's not new information, but the motivation? His mother Ása was in direct communication with Neith for a brief time (I was going to link to her but this was all I could find??? Sorry. :I), which eventually culminated in a kidnapping attempt. As an adult, Josh is not aware of this.

5) Josh hates being a superhero for a good year or two, but he doesn't complain.

6) Josh's dad was a witch, but not even Ása knew it.

7) Some witches (like Neith) consider air magic to be a pure expression of soul magic. The first magic any witch performs is projecting her soul, and that projection is just energized air.

8) In our revamped revamped timeline, Josh meets his best bro for life James (Nighttide) during his "Iceland Adventures." Josh returns home to put some old witchy business to bed, and things quickly go wrong. He vanishes. Super-friend Laurence (Phoenix) comes out looking for him eventually and brings her right-hand man James along. James is Josh's first real "guy friend."

Tagged Peeps:



WritingInTheSky's Hestia
Sockless-Sheep's PAIGE (am I allowed to tag her and force you to tell us things?? :la:)
ThePsychoArtist's Lux
LegionGUA's Ana
and in the spirit of Lizathema??? Linzerj's Liz
NatOreN's Karon
Hiniha's Linnea
akrex's ... I'm stuck between Chelsea and Alex. GO WITH CHELSEA.

LOOK AT THAT, I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED ALL THE RULES. :dummy: Well have fun you guys.
