I made some of my own Aisha Cinnamon Rolls inspired by melieworm's comic! :3
I didn't follow instructions exactly as each Aisha is composed of just two cinnamon rolls, that way they're more manageable for me to eat. I also added some extra icing embellishment as you can see lol. While the dough was still raw, I tried shaping the ears to be pointy like they are in site art, but they did not want to keep that shape in the oven rip. But still, it was a fun little thing to make \o/

WOW! They turned out great! Now I really really want some cinnamon rolls  I posted these on the neoboard topic, but being as those are pretty ephemeral, cross posting here so they live on forever  Melie's Morsels- Aisha Cinnamon Roll The presentation for this is very clean and easy to follow. The photo makes that cinnamon roll look absolutely delicious and the little maneki-neko style Aisha is a cute touch! Interesting to see people's takes on Neo food items IRL!
Carolyn - Call Me Serian It looks like they didn't list "From Kass' Right Hand" in your history Carolyn I went back to double check if Serian had any relation to that story (he doesn't!) and noticed the other story was missing.
Lots of good lines in this one. "Kass' marionette who cut his bindings but still drags the strings that are left behind." is especially evocative. Serian is plenty sympathetic, as it seems like even the people who want to "help" him end up going about it in all the wrong ways. The professor and his condition are a nice contrast here- similar conditions yet very different outcomes.
Also nice to see Jeran moving forward while still acknowledging how hard that can be sometimes. It seems like everyone is making some progress. Great work! Kengplant - Life Improvised : Lab Ray Fears ShereKong's expressions are priceless! Poor guy is really running the gamut of emotions here lol Griff's eyelashes are on point alongside a timely and heartening message: what we look like on the outside doesn't define who we really are. I think the idea conveys well and the comic itself, as always, looks and flows great!
Kat - Another Hero's Journey: Promises (this is the same as what was posted on the discord but also reposting here to keep everything in one place!) Great read! And better to have read As Told first, I appreciated some context going into this one. I especially enjoyed this snippet:
Rohane placed himself behind his older brother, back-to-back. “Or maybe, you were just in time.”
Which is EXACTLY what I'd imagined would happen and I'm very much not disappointed haha
A good romp, lots of action, but a great heartfelt ending. I'm glad you dodged TNT's odd aversion to romance (even though weddings have happened in official site events smh) and got it in! |

Ooh, new series! \o/ Excited to see where this may lead, if this will be something story-centric like the Ring of the Deep, or a more comedy-focused adventure. Either way, I'm sure it'll be fun to read!
Dailies are a funny concept from an in-universe perspective, since it's basically you traveling all around the world every day to do a variety of mini-games that last maybe a few seconds each, and for cheap prizes or nothing xD I like the contrast in intensity between the activity and gear they wear versus their nonchalant attitude towards it all. Sounds on the same level of going to the grocery store when they're about to traverse into an abandoned city in the jungle lol.
Since there's a few non-themed NT issues coming up now, hopefully we'll get to see more of this series?
How to Speedrun Friends pt 3 by Lex and luc187 That's fun how you incorporate the Battledome mechanics into their fight, gives it that extra Neopets flair to it all and adds to the joke that a splash of water is what ultimately does Sura in xD His expressions in the last couple of panels are also great, especially right next to Ralvy's smug demeanor. I love the tiny Tilbur in the background still doing his darnedest to be a good student and following along with what Ralvy says lol.
SK's face during his meltdown kills me, I love the sudden shift to what looks like a horror film with the dark blues and greens and the horror amalgamation SK is imagining Griff will turn into xD Also a nice breakaway from the usual joke about how the lab ray turns a male character female, I think you pulled it off well to put more focus on SK's anxiety of what Griff may become rather than what he's already transformed into!
