eat the blossom, finish the tea, then read the roots

Usually I keep updating right through Christmas, but with my new setup I can’t work while I’m on the road anymore! I’m gonna take the opportunity to try and rest my arm a little bit so we’re ready to get into it as soon as I get back to my desk. I really don’t think I’ll have time for another page this week, but I am gonna try and finish some new promotional art I’ve been working on before we leave for the holidays, so if I can manage that in the next day or so I’ll put it up here for you. Thank you for your patience! I hope your season is pleasant, whatever flavor it happens to be. See you soon <3

EDIT 12/23: Incidentally, today is the third anniversary of when I started the comic. We’ll be back to updating normally on Wednesday! Thank you for reading!

Love the dialogue here! Well written, as always.

For someone who isn’t spiritual, Ulrich practices divination? Not to mention the whole luck thing.

  Thank you!
  
  To be fair, reading tearoots is sort of a superstition like fortune cookies are a superstition. It’s just kind of a silly novelty that comes with the meal haha

    That makes sense haha

Maybe his unlucky days were actually lucky because it got him to pair up with our hero.
A Wild Bird

Ahh reading the roots, I was wondering what he was doing. And enjoy the break Aria <3

There ain’t no rest for the wicked, money don’t grow on trees….
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, ain’t nothin’ in this world for free!

No we can’t slow down, we can’t hold back, and you know…we wish…we could.
There ain’t ain’t no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good….

magic tea
Amaaré

Strong but simple eh? Well in a specific use of the word simple perhaps. If anyone knows Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, then I’d say she’s probably simple in the same way as Carrot 😉

Happy holidays Aria.

  I had to look up who Carrot is, and from my basic Wiki understanding of him: Yes, Agreement
  
  Thank you!
Sage

Congratulations! Thats amazing! I hope this comic can go on for years to come =)
- Aria
  
  As long as I’m able I’ll be making it!! Though the process is significantly easier with support from you guys <3

So I just saw the pic in the blurb and Eisse’s face is hilarious. (Also makes me suspicious that Eisse is going to team up. She could be the waves on the Extras link.)

… Ulrich is really laying on that silver tongue, isn’t he?
Elkian

Fitting that she reads Ulrich’s presence as a lucky break.
