Oh, and I'm still totally gonna make it free every so often too. *wink wonk*
Thank you all so, so much for reading. I'm overjoyed I get to enjoy this story I made with all of you. Truly. I'm so happy a work of mine is out there now. Thank you. 💖
Hope you enjoy what's next to come! :)

The economy's shit right now, so I really don't blame anyone for not being able to spend even just 10 dollars on something. Just spending 10 dabloons right now is daunting! I was SO broke last month, I absolutely get it. ;-;
Hopefully with this new price, more people can give my work a shot!

I was looking at other creators to see what I should price this, and $10 felt right. But when I made it free, the incredibly kind reactions I got from people reading my story was worth more than any dollar..... I worked on this for 2 and a half years, so it was amazing witnessing the reception!!

AN IMPORTANT ISLAND REVERIE ANNOUNCEMENT:
With the overwhelmingly positive reception I got from making the story free to download, I have made a big change to the price - in order to still make some money, and have this story reach as many as possible, from now on, Reverie is now just $2! (cont)

Yeah, the animation job market's really bad right now, and I fear if I get a simple part time job with my Bachelor's degree in film, it'll feel like i failed or something... but it's corporation's fault, not mine I guess 🥲💖

The light of a supernova stinging her eyes, the ship being ripped apart by the unstable speed, and as her view fills with burning white light, she screams out for what she thinks is a last time..... oof

I do wanna see a scene in the movie where Lubba forcibly makes the ship go light speed, desperately looking for their twin as she stares at the end of the universe, her determined stare watering with tears
"Lubba, stop! Stop the ship!! We can't hang on!"
"I'll find you... no matter what..."
augh ;-;

Working on another figure, but what do you think? Is it taking too long?
