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! 👹🔪

#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?"

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?"

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

I mean, they read SOMETHING. Just neglected to read the last paragraph???

If you wanna add a Korean folk "goddess", it should be the motherfuckin SUN ☀️

Right? "Sleep in just 5 more minutes. Trust me."

Cranebones @cranebones.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I hope that guy is okay. He looked really upset (obviously)

Cranebones @cranebones.bsky.social · 1d

Heard a car skidding followed by a crash a few minutes before I left the house. Turns out the crash was exactly where I get on he main road.

The driver looked fine (physically), but if the state of his car and the curb were any indication...😬

Cranebones @cranebones.bsky.social · 1d

One good thing about running 5 minutes late:

Narrowly missing the gnarly car crash that would have absolutely happened had I left the house on time.

My best friend and I were talking about an Oracle Deck about different goddesses around the world, and apparently, it has "Dalnim" (the moon) listed as a Korean moon goddess???

No????
Incorrect?????
As someone who wrote a whole comic episode on this, I take offense??????
