Hey all! I'm Cranebones, creator of the webcomic Grand Sol!

Wanna read a drama exploring trans identity, generational curses, and the heartbreak that is the fight between Duty and Self-Actualization?

There are demons involved.

Check it out on Tapas! 👹🔪
tapas.io/series/grand...

#webcomic #comic

Sunwoo, a young man with an eyepatch covering his left eye lightly holds a knife in his right hand while his left hand gently lifts the necktie of Hajun, the man sitting in front of him. Behind them, the sun is setting over a city, its light forming a halo of sorts around Sunwoo's head.

Poses are a reference to the Bernini sculpture "The Ectasy of Saint Theresa"

A young man in a hospital gown and an oxygen mask pulls himself up from bed to confront a young woman sitting at his bedside.

With a raspy voice, he says, "Who the hell are you?! What the fuck is going on?! It was you, wasn't it?"

A flashback sequence showing two men on a bed, one atop the other. They are holding hands with their fingers intertwined.

In the present, someone asks "What you felt for Jang Gunwoo... Was it pity or something else?"

A young man shifts his gaze from a paint in front of him to the man beside him. He says, with a cryptic smile, "Jun. Who would you hate first? The world or yourself?"

Grief is a very complicated process, and sometimes human flesh needs to be sacrificed to let go, yanno?

Me in approximately 13 hours.

Cranebones dramatically slams open the door to his best friend's apartment, startling both said best friend and the cat.

He screams, "I AM READY TO MACHINEGUN KISS THE BABY!!" before proceeding to do exactly that.

His best friend believes (knows) he is really visiting for the cat.

Holy shit, I'm so sorry to hear that! That's so messed up!

A curse of a thousand inconveniences upon the ex-boss. May their coffee always be too hot and scald the tongue. May their socks always feel inexplicably wet.

Wishing you guys all the best in this. I'm happy to help however I can!

Marc thinking on how back in the day and even now (until Kari got disappeared) he noticed a blue aura over his "wife" at times, similar from that from the ritually-activated hitech. this specific image shows Kari up until he was disappeared, sleeping w/ the blue aura highlighting around his beard + chest w/ lil hair strand stand-ins.

while Marc is thinking about this, he + the other Holy Order priests are chanting the Lord's prayer, with the lines "but deliver us from evil/ Amen." being highlighted here.

Conference calls have me feeling like

3 faces in sequence.

The first face has a neutral, smiling expression.
The second face is blinking.
The third face is smiling, but the eyes have a look of "Are you serious?"
