A pretty illustration of a pink anthro snow leopard girl with heart spots, wearing a sundress and a sun hat, holding a basket of flowers. Sunlight is streaming down on her, casting speckles of light on her face under the brim of her hat, and making parts of her skirt subtly transparent as it blows away from her body.
BELFRY: I know the Great Outbreak wigged you lot out, but it's been years. BELFRY: It's one thing to go to Abroad for treason. Of course you can't come back from that. BELFRY: But we're talking about treatment. TESS: Under the Edicts, it's the same, my Bel. BELFRY: Mum, you're on the Council. BELFRY: You know you wouldn't truly enforce that. BELFRY: YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! BELFRY: YOU WOULDN'T EVEN STAND UP FOR US?! TESS: Of course I would! You know I would! TESS: But you have to understand... TESS: It wouldn't matter whether or not I vouched for you. TESS: If you choose to go to Abroad, it doesn't matter how hard I try. TESS: Do you really think I didn't try to bring Koss and Jeremy back?

BELFRY: I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE HER IN THE WOODS! TESS: No, I KNOW that! I... TESS: This isn't coming out right. BRIAR: Belfry, let Mum talk. TESS: Bel, my darling waif, you have to understand that I'm...scared. TESS: I'm scared of losing you. BELFRY: Losing me? Where would I even go?! TESS: To Abroad, Belfry. TESS: If Tamberlane gets sick - seriously sick - I worry our medicine won't be enough. TESS: We don't know anything about her. She isn't just a normal kit; she has special needs. And that's fine, but... TESS: If that happens, God forbid, you'll have to make a decision. TESS: You can stay here with her, keep her safe and comfortable, and watch her die. TESS: Or... you can take her to Abroad. BELFRY: Ugh, Mum! You're so stuck in the past!
A yellow monochrome piece of a jackal-jerboa hybrid boy wearing gear kind of like Indiana Jones. He's grinning with confidence (and a tiny hint of vulnerability) as he gives a thumbsup.
An anthro flying fox (bat) wearing goggles and shorts, fur all mussed and a triumphant, easygoing smile on his face up toward the viewer. He's covered in patches of soot and seated with one leg up, one arm resting on his knee, and his wings splayed out supportively like hands against the ground.
A preview image for page 480 of Tamberlane, which is now available on Patreon. It shows Piper (a cat) looking horrified as she says "What... what happened then?" Kira, an alligator cow dog, looks flat and dead-eyed as she grips a stick, replying, "You already know what happened then. Everyone knows." Behind "Everyone Knows" is a faint red splatter.
A cute little Lucario glomping a surprised yet pleased Marowak in a jean vest, pants, and an outback hat.
[SFX: Deep Sigh] BELFRY: Look, Mum. I know you hate Tamberlane, but it's my decision and she's my kit. TESS: What?! TESS: I don't hate Tamberlane! BELFRY: Oh, really. TESS: Yes, really! TESS: She's a very sweet little kit! TESS: To be honest, she may have grown on me. TESS: A LITTLE. TESS: But that's the problem!
BRIAR: So. BRIAR: Who wants to go first? BRIAR: FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! BRIAR: Mum, Tamberlane's here to stay. Stop being an arse to Belfry about it. BRIAR: Belfry, Mum probably has some actually good points to make, or whatever. BRIAR: Now talk. BRIAR: Or I'll dunk you both in the frying oil.
BELFRY: NOW YOU'RE RUBBING IT IN, MOTHER!!! TESS: IT JUST BEARS REPEATING! BRIAR: THAT'S ENOUGH!!!! BRIAR: YOU, SIT OVER THERE! BRIAR: AND YOU, SIT OVER THERE! BRIAR: Now we're gonna talk this out. BRIAR: LIKE. ADULTS.
A ref sheet for a character named "Sunblossom," a joy spirit who looks like a fluffy cream tabby cat with lunar moth wings and little green antennae, covered in sunflowers, little white flowers, and leaves. There is a bunch of information on there that boils down to the artist drawing her should draw something that makes them happy and inspired to create, and that her character design can be altered in any way to facilitate that.
My catfox fursona Adie holding out her hand in the "Money please!" gesture, saying "Vgen please!" Beside it is the text, "Do you have a spare vgen artist code? Gimme, and I'll draw you a 1-character bust in this style! 💖Caytlin"
CALLIE: I think I'd like two strawberry pasties, please! TESS: ALL I'M SAYING IS SLOW DOWN BEFORE WE HAVE NO MORE STOCK TO SELL!! BRIAR: I'm so sorry about this, Callie... BELFRY: THAT'S IT!!! WHAT IS WITH YOU TODAY, MUM?! TESS: NOTHING IS WITH ME TODAY! BELFRY: YOU'RE YELLING AT ME AN AWFUL LOT FOR NOTHING! CALLIE: Oh, it's fine! TESS: I KNOW!!! JUST DO IT, OKAY?! BELFRY: FINE!!!! BRIAR: Good luck with your produce, Miss Callie. CALLIE: Good luck to you too, Briar. BELFRY: I'LL BE CAREFULLER THAN I WAS! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?! TESS: YES I'M HAPPY NOW! BELFRY: GOOD!!! TESS: BUT DON'T DROP THEM, EITHER! BELFRY: OH MY GOD
TESS: STOP SQUISHING THE PIES!! BELFRY: THEN STOP YELLING AT ME!!! TESS: I'M NOT YELLING; I'M SCOLDING!! BELFRY: IT SOUNDS LIKE YELLING TO ME! TESS: THEN LET ME LAY IT OUT FOR YOU: WE CAN'T SELL SQUISHED PIES!! BELFRY: I KNOW!!!! BRIAR: H... how's the festival going, Callie? CALLIE: Oh, quite cracking, thanks! CALLIE: My produce is moving very nicely. BELFRY: IT'S NOT LIKE I'M SQUISHING THEM ON PURPOSE! TESS: OF COURSE NOT, I JUST WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL! BELFRY: I AM CAREFUL! TESS: NOT CAREFUL ENOUGH!!!
OAKEWOOD: Tamberlane was found here, in our Rattleglen Forest. I think you've got a hammer, and all you see are nails. OAKEWOOD: There is a whole wide world outside of our islands. There's simply no reason to believe she's from Abroad. TAGG: I think she's a plant. TAGG: But you want to stay blind? Fine by me. We're leaving. OAKEWOOD: Keep your fear-mongering to yourself! TAGG: Oh sod off, you knob! OAKEWOOD: Watch me! And get that metal out of your face, you profligate nitwit! TAGG: I'll do what I want!!
MILO, TAMBERLANE & OAKEWOOD: Abroad? OAKEWOOD: That's absolute tosh. TAGG: Before you dismiss me, hear me out. TAGG: There's something strange happening Abroad. DANGER: Areas are blocked off or quarantined. No one will say why. TAGG: And creatures from Follybrook are vanishing. OAKEWOOD: Come now! This has nothing to do with Tamberlane! OAKEWOOD: Quarantines? Missing creatures? Utter poppy! TAGG: Something's happening in Abroad, and I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with her!
OAKEWOOD: So. TAGG: So. TAGG: Here's the deal. TAGG: We en't seen anything like her before. OAKEWOOD: You WHAT?! OAKEWOOD: I just put your drinks on my docket! TAGG: Don't get your ruff in a huff. TAGG: I think I know where she comes from. OAKEWOOD: Well? TAGG: I don't think you'll quite like my theory. OAKEWOOD: Out with it, Follybrook! TAGG: It's your funeral. TAGG: Listen. The kid's an odd bod. TAGG: She doesn't come from Follybrook or it's outlying areas. TAGG: That leaves only one place she could be from. TAGG: Your cub is from Abroad.
JACKIE: Happy Sovereign Festival, Oakewood! OAKEWOOD: And you, Jackie. JACKIE: What'll I pour for you? OAKEWOOD: I'll have a Powderclaw Dark Ale. OAKEWOOD: Tamberlane will have a blueberry- TAMBERLANE: Blueberry Fizz!!! OAKEWOOD: And Milo will have... MILO: ...nothing... OAKEWOOD: ...a whiskey on the rocks. JACKIE: And your, erm...companions? [SFX: siiigh] OAKEWOOD: Jackie, I know they're from Follybrook, but they are also the trade envoy. OAKEWOOD: They may only be allowed in once a year, but they are allowed. OAKEWOOD: So why don't you ask them? JACKIE: ...Right, What'll you have- TAGG: A Dark and Stormy. And my brother will have a Tin Mule.
TAGG: Egh, fine. TAGG: We still have to trade off our metals, so... Meet my brother and I at the Jackal in one hour. TAGG: Don't be late. DANGER: You're buying the drinks! DANGER: Barkeep! Over here!
Belfry the pink bat and Tamberlane the human toddler, excited. Belfry is sparkle-eyed, as Tamberlane throws her arms up and shouts "Awooo!"
OAKEWOOD: Mx. Tagg, Mr. Danger, if you don't mind a moment of your time, I do have a quandary you might help with... MILO: U... Uncle!! MILO: Uncle, we're not... we're not supposed to talk to... OAKEWOOD: Milo Jamiton, don't be a disrespectful git!! If your father could hear you today, he'd be ashamed! MILO: b-but... we're not... supposed to... OAKEWOOD: Have a spine, boy! MILO: Y...yes, sir. OAKEWOOD: I apologize for my daft godson. It appears booksmarts do not preclude ignorance. OAKEWOOD: At any rate, I understand if you don't wish to help, but we need to learn more about Tamberlane. TAMBERLANE: I'm a Tamberlane! OAKEWOOD: I only want to know, have you seen anything like her in Follybrook? TAGG: I just want to go home. DANGER: Tagg, he has been all right to us...
MILO: You know, I'd say she has Williams Syndrome, if she had more physical indicators. Overly friendly, highly empathetic... OAKEWOOD: That's a good p... where's Tamberlane? [SFX: GONE] [SFX: !!] OAKEWOOD: TAMBERLANE! OAKEWOOD: STAY AWAY FROM THEM! TAGG: Hello, Claude. OAKEWOOD: Hello.. Tagg... and Danger... [SFX: Pant Pant] TAGG: We didn't touch her. OAKEWOOD: That's ... good. TAMBERLANE: Unca! OAKEWOOD: If you're... looking for... Councilman Timmothy, the last... time I saw him... he was in the... Trade Alley. [SFX: Pant] TAGG: Brilliant. We'll track 'im down, make this trade, and get out of this backwards hellhole.
TAMBERLANE: I like your shiny! TAGG: STOP!!! DON'T TOUCH ME! TAMBERLANE: Oh... I sorry... TAMBERLANE: Why you tails so differen'? TAGG: It's called "docking." TAGG: I cut my tail off. TAMBERLANE: WHAT?! WHY?? TAGG: Because only I have a say in what happens to my body.
HOUDINI: The envoy's an overcorrection. TAGG: Ahem. HOUDINI: Of course they deserve pity. It's not as though it's their fault they come from such a backwater town. But honestly, do we really need to- TAGG: Ahem! TAGG: OI!! TAGG: Follybrook trading envoy, coming through! TAGG: And keep your opinions to yourself, y'tosser! TAMBERLANE: Hi!
MILO: Uncle, given her size, do you suppose she's in the ursine height class? OAKEWOOD: Milo. She barely comes up to my waist. An ursine cub her age would be nearly twice as tall. MILO: Perhaps the canid class, then? [SFX: Mutter Mutter Mutter] CROWD: i... i think i left my kettle on... CROWD: Look at the time! CROWD: Let's go over there! CROWD: I... have somewhere to be! CROWD: Don't look! CROWD: Do you think they notice? CROWD: eww CROWD: Hey, let's check out that area. CROWD: Don't touch the.... CROWD: Get out!
WALTER: We should find someone else to look after her! TESS: No. WALTER: We are not ready for this very loud kit! TESS: No. [SFX: AAAWAAAA] WALTER: Tess, my darling... TESS: No. WALTER: So you see, your mother was very enthusiastic about keeping little Belfry. WALTER: We had many talks. But I did come around. Obviously. WALTER: She was our one and only pride and joy, until you came along, [Russian]. WALTER: Now we have two prides! BRIAR: Aww, [Russian]... WALTER: So I say, Tess understands. WALTER: Her... ehm... frustration is from another place, I think. WALTER: But they will work it out. WALTER: They have the same personality. BRIAR: Okay, okay. I get it.
WALTER: We are not ready for a kit. TESS: I know. WALTER: The Council will have questions. TESS: I know. WALTER: We have no supplies. TESS: I know. TESS: I know we agreed to start trying in a few years. TESS: But she needs help now. WALTER: Can't someone else take care of the little bat? TESS: She was entrusted to us. WALTER: [Russian]... we are too tired for this conversation. WALTER: We will speak in the morning. TESS: Everything will be alright. We have each other. TESS: And now, we have a kit! WALTER: Maybe. Maybe we have kit. WALTER: But... [Russian], always we have each other.
WALTER: But then, what do I know? I'm just an old buck. BRIAR: Aw, don't sell yourself short, Papa! WALTER: Ah...You know, I recall... when we got your sister... TESS: I thought I heard... WALTER: It is a kit?? TESS: Isn't that Koss and Jeremy's little kit? WALTER: Koss began to show symptoms. They had to go. TESS: And they were so careful... Poor little mite. TESS: She's shivering...

WALTER: The world is complicated, little Briar. WALTER: Creatures don't like what they don't understand. WALTER: Sometimes a blessing brings friction. WALTER: But, sometimes also, friction brings a blessing. WALTER: Don't worry, [Russian], they will come around. BRIAR: I hope so. WALTER: I know so. They love each other very much. WALTER: They are just bad at showing it sometimes.

WALTER: So, how are you doing? BRIAR: Fine. WALTER: You don't look fine. You are looking... stretched thin. BRIAR: I'm just frustrated! Why can't they just buck up and apologize already? WALTER: Have you not noticed? It is because they are the same. BRIAR: WHAT?! No they're not! They're polar opposites! [SFX: SMACK] TESS & BELFRY: Hhmph!!! [SFX: SPLUT] BRIAR: ...Nevermind. I see what you mean. BRIAR (muttered, in [Russian]): (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...)
RHODE: I'm taking your splinters out, okay? RHODE: This might pinch a little. TAMBERLANE: Owww! MILO: Aw, She'll be fine, Uncle Claude! OAKEWOOD: I need a drink. RHODE: There we are, tip top!

PIPER: That I'm really sorry, and I oughter get back to picking up rubbish, like right now?

Hey, about Ashley's 2019 birthday livestream, in which an insensitive joke was made based on mishearing a donator's name as a slur. It was a dumb and thoughtless joke that I participated in. My sincere apologies for my role in it and to anyone who was hurt; it's not something I stand by or would do today.
TAMBERLANE: AH!! NO!! PIPER: !!! [SFX: SNAP] PIPER: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! TAMBERLANE: It's Gampa! PIPER (muttered): whew...

TAMBERLANE: Izzy! ISAIAH: It's 'Isaiah', Tamberlane! Can you say that? TAMBERLANE: Izz-eye-yuh. ISAIAH: Haha, close enough. ISAIAH: You know, I'm glad you stopped by today. I have a little something for you. TAMBERLANE: WOW!!!
OAKEWOOD: Tamberlane, are you quite alright? TAMBERLANE: He didn't want help. OAKEWOOD: No, he did not. Some creatures don't. TAMBERLANE: But I help. OAKEWOOD: No, you're a kit. You just be. OAKEWOOD: But aside from helping, are you alright? TAMBERLANE: Yeah... but is Unca okay? OAKEWOOD: Yes. But what did I just say? TAMBERLANE: No help, just be! OAKEWOOD: Very good.
A "baby's first Photoshop 7" digital drawing of a red-haired yellow-eyed girl and a blonde-haired boy. There's some rudimentary, badly drawn katakana (Japanese) on the side that says "Anberu" and, for some reason, in the top right is a malformed "su" character.
