meanwhile, in paradise...

Oh my aching HEART!" panel 2 - Moon Wizard collapses on the table, inconsolable "I should've never let you throw them in that Pit! I should've stopped the whole thing!!" panel 1: MW keeps sobbing, "WHYYYY!?" SW looks on panicked, "B-but you said it was casual!" panel 2: Moon Wizard flips the table and all the contents come crashing to the ground. Star Wizard is shocked.

a riveting backstory...
panel 1 - Hot Knight lounges with Gorm and Olgi, telling them their story "So then, the Moon Wizard and the Star Wizard took me in as an apprentice, in exchange for some household labor." panel 2 - Hot Knight's recalling a memory, thinking bubble shows Moon Wizard leering over at Hot Knight as they sweep a floor in a sexy cleaning uniform. "And of course, I caught the Moon Wizard's eye pretty quickly. They probably shouldnt've given me that skimpy little cleaning uniform." panel 1 - Hot Knight is recalling a memory, thinking bubble showing the Star Wizard mixing potions while the Moon Wizard and Hot Knight kiss in the background. "We hit it off- what can I say? It was fun. The Star Wizard was none the wiser..." panel 2 - Hot Knight recalls a memory, thinking bubble showing Hot Knight looking at an amulet that looks like a bug under a class container, Moon Wizard sleeping in the background. "We had a good run, but I was after something bigger- an amulet that could give me more magic than those Wizards could teach." panel 1- Hot Knight points to the amulet, which is on their chest plate, Olgi and Gorm look at it closely. "So I took it and forged it into my armor! Looks pretty cool, right?" panel 2- Hot Knight wraps up their story "Anyway, they weren't too happy about that, so they cast me into the Pit for all eternity, and now here I am! And that's my story!" Olgi blushes and claps, Gorm looks at Olgi judgmentally.

"Gosh- I might be getting a crush. Dunno how you're not crushin' right now-" second gob responds "Pssh. I'm an intellectual. Intellectuals don't get crushes. You always were the weaker mind. No surprises there-". panel 2, knight walks into frame, "Evenin', cellmates! Wanna give me the grand tour of the new living quarters?" panel 1 - gob 1 watches as gob 2 runs up to knight enamored. gob 2 says "Wow, your eyes are amazing! Don't they just have really nice shape and color to their eyes, Olgi? Like I'm not trying to sound weird, but WOW!" panel 2 - Olgi is looking at Gorm, pissed. Grom keeps going "I just mean like, objectively speaking. Really not tryna be weird here. Just like, really nice light refraction on those globes. Really nice."

whoa nice buddy #makeaterriblecomicday2025
A three panel comic. First panel: two people are having penetrative sex in the shower, person bottoming is bent over forward and the person topping is railing them from behind. Second panel: Zoomed closer in, a spider is slowly lowering from the window pane in the shower, the person bent over has a nervous look on their face. Third panel: Close in on the spider, the spider is smiling, all eight eyes watching the people doing it. It's giving a big cartoonish thumbs up.
