Im so sorry

[Joke post if you couldn't tell, not an actual comic part]

I have a theory that the name sawians came from the Polish capital Warsaw.

War-SAW
Idk lol. What are your thoughts?

^{(Dialogue for 2nd picture because I FORGOT TO LEAVE SPACE FOR TEXT})

Biscuit: What do we do with Orion? We have to move out but they're still sleeping...

Stringbean: I guess we'll have to take them with us. Teddy, are you able to carry them?

Teddy: I can, but if they call me a fat oaf again I'm throwing them into a hole...

(3 Doritos later...)

Biscuit: Are you sure you're not overencumbered carrying them?

Teddy: Nah... They're smaller and lighter than I thought. I feel if I sneeze they'll explode.

Biscuit: Snicker Well, it does make sense... Just... try not to drop them.

^{YES I KNOW MILKIES AREN'T CATS BUT I'M GONNA MAKE THIS ADORABLE PRECIOUS MILKY PURR BECAUSE IT'S CUTE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH (raig})

Anyways, this is a joint collab-style drawing that u/roblox_cat and I did, for u/bluewolf3691. We kinda had the same/similar idea about Orion being gonked out of their shmeeve for so long the team may as well carry them if they wanted to leave. (Especially considering how narcoleptic these creatures are... which I'm uncertain if Bluewolf actually planned for their comic [Would explain Orion not waking up in said nightmare, as far as I'm aware narcolepsy causes extremely vivid and horrible hallucinations/nightmares in your sleep])

Poor thing was so goddamn eepy that they needed to be picked up and taken around like another item. Next thing you know they'll legitimately be an item with a description like

"Orion"
"They're knocked out. Seems like it'll take a while for them to wake up."
"Weight: 0.50u"

And yes, Roblox_cat gave me permission to post both their artwork and mine (Then again I did offer them if they wanted to post them both instead xp) cuz it's so hilarious we basically thought the same thing based on a random comment of a foliage bag

I hope all Orion and Teddy enjoyers appreciate this drawing and I hope it brings a smile to everyone's faces. Remember to stay positive and smile :D. Even if Orion barely smiles themselves (I'm gonna sic Teddy to hug them and never let them go and keep them like a squeaky plushie)

Also, Biscuit paw looks off in the top panel because they're amputee on the arm that would be closest to Orion, so they need to use their other paw to gently scratch their head. Orion would probably never accept that kind of treatment but they're asleep sooooooo :3c

(i fucking made them have school bags because i have ZERO clue how to color their damn bags in the first place. dont judge me the comic is literally outline-only)

Either way... I hope you all get a laugh out of this and find both these artworks cute <3. Go shower u/roblox_cat with love too since they drew the first picture. And we both wish you to have a lovely day <3.

^{stop hesitatting with your anxiety and post the thing ive been here an hour staring at the "publish" button save meeeeeee. \})^{Pseudoshork worried noises\})

Spring has found his bff.

Its also incredible how a few lines and a bit of white add so much to a drawing

my references are happy

Surprisingly they have a high mortality rate

I'll do some Halloween posts now till the holiday

And any ideas of what I can make Halloween related or not related would be appreciated

Idk if one was made for this already, but here it is

one of cas:u's biggest strengths for its atmosphere was its intimacy, it was just you and the guy you're directing down the planet. it sold the loneliness so well, made everything feel like your fault, your bad decisions, you caused this poor thing to suffer. but now there's just this... other thing? that speaks to you? and taunts you? and also apparently the directing thing isn't canon and you're just supposed to be the expie itself but the observer still talks to you and not the expie? i'm not crazy for thinking this is just a massive downgrade in both lore and immersion right

made in garry's mod, left 4 dead 2, bonelab, and project zomboid

I love survival games, but at the same time I was a furry for a very long time and grew attached to this community.

I love animals too. What leads to that?

I watched the trailer and the dialouge and the whimper sounds were too much for me. "I don't want to die" dialouge with whimpers in background or the crying and expie being scared are just too much.

Or the desperate "f*ck please help me etc." when he was chased or hurt dialogoues were so sad...

Maybe I'm too sensitive but I really cant bear the physological horror aspect of this game. Seeing and hearing that little fella scared, sad, hurt or dying is just too much for me... And I only saw the trailer. He looks so cute and innocent! How to get rid of that feeling so I can try out the game when it comes out?
