Story Time Weekend of Pain NEOKOSMOS: PART 2

Take a seat, gather round, and find out what happens when a Steven Universe storyboarder doesn't know how to make things that aren't Steven Universe storyboards!
LAST TIME ON NEOKOSMOS: Nothing fucking happened, except like 3 things that happened. I don't know, read it yourself. Experience pain like I have.
We covered a bit more than 800 pages in the last thread, so that's about half the comic. Between today and tomorrow I should finish the back half of it.

Let's play a game of figuring out which of the patches of light on Z's skin are sunlight and which ones are vitiligo.

I think I'm gonna give Z the worst character badge. Why can't they trust the doctors? Y'know, like the one that died trying to save Tye's life? The same one that told Tye that Iris was already off the station, so why does he think that- Ugh this is making my head hurt already.

The SU is so strong in that little gremlin. Except i've never been unnerved by Steven's arms being longer than his legs

>Commentary
Oh my god what is even with this kid.
I mean yeah, the doctors kept you in a room your whole life, that's fucked up. But the space station is LITERALLY UNDER ATTACK BY PIRATES, I'm pretty sure Iris is safer with the doctors than she would be on the station.

Ah, so Z had the shittiest parent of all the shittiest parents, that explains why they're the shittiest kid of all the shittiest kids.

This is just completely a fucking storyboard/animation keyframes. Literally NO other storytelling format would have put a fucking pause between "Sure, your doctors may have ACTED like" and "They cared about YOU". That might be the most nonsensical pause in text I've ever seen.

I really hate the way that they emulate both the dialogue and visual storytelling of SU. It's only like that because it's a tv show and even then it's really repetitive within the show itself. I don't need to see the exact same pacing, reactions and structure in some other comic.

Nah, that's a poor attempt to make it look like she's doing more work than she actually is.

Attached: 0959-0967.png (800x3999, 3.39M)

When this comic first started it caught my interest and I keep up until right before the teleport, so I don't hate this. But man it's still painfully shameless. The poorly slapped on diversity, the Ava's Demon style shoddily mixed in with heavy Homestuck style. It's like almost every act of this comic has poor creativity and decision making behind it, and the few neat bits that stand out aren't enough. If they'd tackled this with more originality in mind it might've survived, but then I know plenty of good webcomics can end up dead.

>Commentary
I know why they would lie, cause it's gonna be incredibly hard to believe for other kids growing up in this environment, but if this story has any nuts at all this is gonna come back to bite them in the ass later.

Never read Ava's Demon, what does this take from it.

>Never read Ava's Demon, what does this take from it.
1 panel pages which are always the same size and some animation here and there
you should read it, it's pretty slow but the art is beautiful

>you should read it
I might, but I'll have to warn you, I'm notoriously lazy.

Except when it comes to committing to retardly tedious shit like storytiming NEOKOSMOS, I guess.

Attached: 0976-0983.png (800x3752, 3.87M)

Fucking hell, these really are just key frames.
Like, damn.
Just one image of them walking would've been enough.

This shit and the videos make me wish this whole thing was animated.
At least things would move along a little faster.

Christ on his throne, Bendis' work reads like something from the golden age compared to this thing's pacing.

If we were going with the precedent set by earlier scenes, there would have been like 5 frames of them walking, so this is somehow an improvement.

Attached: 0984-0991.png (800x4003, 2.75M)

Bendis will cram 10 unnecessary sentences into a single panel.

The Craggs will spread a single necessary sentences across 3 unnecessary panels.

I don't know which is worse, honestly.

Attached: 0992-0999.png (800x3905, 2.89M)

it's another homestuck inspired work, but it has really good painterly artwork.
the story and characters fucking sucked imo and i couldn't keep with it from good art alone, but a lot of Yea Forums likes it

God bless you for carrying on with this horseshit. I can only imagine how time consuming this must be.

>Commentary
Page 1000! Woo! Just 600 to go.

Y'know, a lot of people have said the premise could have been good, so I'll recommend a book. If you want a good book about isolated people who don't know there's a world outside their spaceship, read Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein. It's some real classic sci-fi, I think you'll like it.

Amazing how those 1000 panels could've been easily condensed into a standard 32 page comic book.

I was thinking the Human Zoo.

Some of them actually look fuckable, this is a new one

so so far there's only been four(?) white people?

Oh shit, space chads asserting their dominance.

Also an ASIAN is named BRAINS, take a shot. There was no drinking game but take a shot.

The story's not gonna bother telling me, so I'm just gonna calls 'em as I sees 'em.

I wonder if this came before or after that. I stopped watching Steven Universe a while before that happened.

user please they're babies and also brainlets. Brainlet babies.

This was before the Human Zoo arc aired, but Amber was still a revisionist then, so who knows.

it's amazing how limited the character designs are with the SU style

that or amber tried to hard to make diverse characters that she forgot how to make other body types and hair styles

>Commentary
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THEY ACTUALLY MANAGED TO FORCE IN A "VILLAINIZING THE WHITE GUY FOR TOUCHING A BLACK PERSON'S HAIR SCENE"

HOLY S H I T

Attached: 1032-1039.png (800x4174, 1.69M)

Is that actually a thing? I've met black people, I've worked with black people, and nobody has ever made a deal out of touching a black person's hair.
But now I want a black gf just so I can give her a rigorous scalp massage as an excuse to touch her hair.

black dude here

i have literally never seen a black person feel victimized by someone touching their hair, this is more of a woman thing rather than a race thing

>this is more of a woman thing
That makes a lot of sense.

Are these characters male or female....?

It's one of those things that Buzzfeed wants you to know is a REALLY big deal and a MAJOR problem affecting society, but they're Buzzfeed so you know how that is.

Ha.

Attached: 1040-1047.png (800x4174, 1.84M)

56% here. There's only one instance I remember of a guy wanting to touch my hair. It was at night and some drunk guy just came up, said he wanted to touch my hair or some shit and reached for it. I pulled back, my friends stopped him, we walked past laughing about it, and that was the end of it.

You decide, since the Craggs can't bare to place that restriction on them.

Yes and no.

The blond white guy no less

It actually makes sense that aliens who study human behavior would want their specimens to represent as many different ethnicities as possiblr.
Although in case of this comic, I'm not sure the author intended that, or just were mindlessly coloring them differently to gain diversity points.

>Commentary
hellvalleyskytrees.jpg

This sequence goes on for WAY too long.

These are the longest exchanges on single panels since the chatlogs at the BEGINNING OF THE COMIC, and they're completely illegible.

I think this is the first time an unseen/mystery character has been listed as ?????? the first time they talked. Triss, Squid, Seven, Red, 9, the doctors, all had their names listed the first time they talk even if we don't know them. I wouldn't do that for suspense reasons until the character is properly introduced. So I guess this is the only time they've wanted it to actually be suspenseful so far.

Attached: 1048-1053.png (800x4087, 1.54M)

They've been raised in a lab environment with no one to explain gender roles to them, so they're essentially neither. Again, this makes sense in the context of the story, but the primary intent of the author was virtue signaling, not logic.

I live in a ghetto ass city. The only time I've seen it was once on the bus when some older guy was having a conversation with some black chick and the subject of hair came up. He asked to feel it and she was like "yeah, sure" and that was it.

> this makes sense in the context of the story
Not really. They wouldn't abide by any gender roles but gender is innate, even if they lack the words to describe it. These zoomen especially would surely recognise that some of them had one type of body and some had another.

>Panel 8 text

They look like 8-10, the gender differences at that age basically boil down to "lol your peepee looks different".

what the FUCK

You idiot.
You could say you have FULL vitiligo, and the white parts have completely enveloped your body.

yeah it's a thing. it happens to women more often though. your friends probably just aren't autists.

vitiligo doesn't tan you dumb shit. it's not the same thing as white skin, it's more like albinism.

You could still get away with it, I bet.

Because most if not all creators born and raised in this generation have seen Evangelion or shows like or that try to emulate it and continue making copies of the character archetypes without understanding why they were used in the first place, without doing anything beyond the surface level with them, and sometimes an unconscious expression of how mentally isolated and stunted the creators themselves are since those problems are all they know.

Turning INside OUT

If you were white and had vitiligo you'd have a regular skin tone, but spots of it with no pigmentation whatsoever. And even if your entire skin lacked pigmentation (At that point you'd just be albino) you still couldn't get away with saying you're black, you'd have white facial features.

Never read Homestuck how bad is it? I always hear it name drop on bad anything threads.

Not as bad as this. The first half of it is really good, but its quality degrades as you go on from there and there's even a total retcon of most of the story near the end.

They are not only Keyframes but keyframes on a show with little budget. Is a comic you'll think they would go crazy with the visual if they don't actually have to animate it.

But right now is just shot/reverse shot and wideshots for them walking.

they didn't murder them though? is this piece of shit webcomic really too hard to follow?

Homestuck was originally a cyoa style story with readers giving suggestions that eventually got such a large fan base that the author was forced to drop that, but elected to keep the story style.
It’s well written if you enjoy reading. It kinda goes off the rails around the time the trolls are properly introduced and gets more batshit as it goes on but it was a fun ride while it lasted.
No clue if archival reading holds up though.

Uhm if they explained things properly, what would anyone have to cry about?

pirate ayylmao murdered them, the only (sort of) fucked up thing they did was rip off her brain computer and even then Tye was probably going to explain that if Z hadn't been a sperg and worded it like they fuckin murdered her.

>we didn't murder her, it was pirate lady- Did I mention we're being invaded by space pirates?

>figuring out which of the patches of light on Z's skin are sunlight and which ones are vitiligo.

I remember thinking that was the ultimate nadir of this comic's visual design.

There are a bunch of ways you could make the highlights looks different from the spots, and they chose none of them.

So are they all girls? Or... "girls"? Or what?

there's something really barney the dinosaur about that last panel

14? Well, they certainly don't look that age (also no kid of any age talks like they do)

honestly, it looks like she's either making out with her or aggressively hugging her with those leg shots.

It's supposed to represent the passage of time I think. Like a still frame to emphasize how angry she is but, it just comes across as lazy and confusing.

I do not think so , I'm a fucking degenerate and I would not do it.

what i see from the panels is that the repeated panels are just supposed to tell the reader that there's a pause, which is an absolutely retarded technique

So Amber and Shelby's idea of drama is just to endlessly terrorize their characters. Good to know. I'll stay tuned for the part someone gets sexually assaulted.

The last panel have her shoulder up a little, it's meant to visually show heavy breaths after a fight. They're wasting panels for this.

Wow I didnt think I'd be able to catch up.
What trash.
This is going to just stop soon?
I'm inspired to just go back to my original webcomic 4koma idea instead of panel by panel if Homestuck is what that inspiration was from.

>sexual assault
But that's more akira than evangelion user. If anything, someone will just lightly touch another in a no no spot, they'll cry for a couple panels and then get over it.

i mean, they did can the webcomic idea and are now making a novel.

That's how you know it's deep

It's that "gender is a social construct" nonsense that certain people keep trying to push. It won't take, because no matter how much we proclaim it, we know in our bones it's a lie.

I didn't think Zehra was based.

Man, I can't wait until we've progressed enough to have age as a social construct. and then race.

look the quality of a webcomic doesn't matter as long as they sell it as LGBT themed to tumblr

What the hell is up with Dr. Zehra now? This is supposed to be the same character that was moved to tears by Tyes drawing of her?

She thought tye and z murdered her girlfriend or whatever.

>as long as they sell it as LGBT themed to tumblr
yeah, and open a patreon for it as well.

To elaborate on what I meant by 'personality change' in this and the other thread; Zehra has been shown to be more empathetic to Tye the entirety of they/her/xir
's screen time with Xaveria being the complete opposite. There was no foreshadowing, indication, or foundation in either case that Zehra's friendliness was fake/that she saw the humans as just animals or that Xaveria actually gave a shit until the pirate came in. In the chapters supposedly important to establishing characters (as in nothing fucking happening but blushes and eating) they did not set the precedence that their behaviors were just fronts.This switcheroo between the two's attitude towards the subject only really happens to be 'subverse lol because one's actually just tsundere and the other really doesn't care see how it's switched now'.

I probably should have used a better term other than 'personality' but nothing quite came to mind.

well, gender stereotypes are a social construct. but gender is arguably not, so yes

even within this work itself, if gender were only a social construct, then the redhead wouldn't have decided to be a girl.

see, i didn't mind that. it's possible to love someone while quietly seeing them as subhuman.

she's a lesbian with bpd

I want to fuck this fat ayylamo there I said it
she does things to my dick I don't know why but she does

Not really foreshadowing but she was eating one of those weird square food with Tye thing while snacks and alcohol exist in that universe.
So I guess she was either pretending to be friendly for the sake of "research" or did care but more like a disposable pet.

It tries to "subvert your expectations" by having the friendly one be a bitch while the cold one is the actual caring one.
But it's poorly executed.

The trans redhead is the stupidest thing about it. What the hell would make a biologically male child decide to be a girl in a world where everyone is raised without a concept of gender? And for that matter, why raise the kids without a concept of gender at all? You figure children would be able to figure out, "oh, wikipedia calls some people 'he' and some people 'she' and the difference is that the 'he's' has dicks and the 'she's' have vaginas." If you look up the wiki articles for male/female or woman/man, it's going to give you the biological definitions, and little to no info on trans people. If they're supposed to be a post-gender society just make them all have no gender. It's stupid, but it makes more sense than just one person deciding to be a girl based off wiki articles.

Right now we mock people who claim to be trans-racial in the same way we used to mock people for being transgender.

I mean technically they’re raised by female identifying gender less aliens, so it’s possible the “adult” figures in their lives are influencing the more feminine, non-binary thing?

Why am I even thinking about this, it was obviously just for sjw points there’s no actual logic behind it

Fuck, it really is Steven Universe.

>female identifying gender less aliens

My god. It is just Steven Universe, but worse.

Why would you make this when you're already working on Steven Universe?!

It's an unfinished sci-fi story in an extremely vague setting, for all we know those kids might be a human equivalent of cultivated bananas. The problem is that the thought process behind it seems to be an unironic version of that hehesilly comic, not a thought-out take on what a society with a different view on gender might look like.

it literally doesn't make any sense.

intersex people exist user. trans is more of that.

>tall white kid straight up disappears after they try to touch z's hair
now, that's just fucked up.

On a more serious note, I really think they should have made this just a short pilot instead of. This.

I don't remember them identifying as female

Well, at the very least, they use "she" when referring to other aliens. I assume Iris heard the word "she" and thought "hmm. what's a she" and i guess she checked wikipedia and went "Oh. i want to be a she." or something.

I can't decide is Squid is being based or not.

On the one hand, Zehra's sudden character shift is dumb, so he's being based. But also he's saving Z, which isn't based.

here 'she'
but the kids use 'they'

The Xhera alien keeps saying “she” and “her” so I figured that meant something but hey who knows at this point

>female identifying gender less aliens

If they have no concept of "gender", how do they have a concept of "female"? That's like having no language but having conjugation.

The issue is more the fact that there wasn't any hints or subtle dialouge or anything to show us this so it comes out of nowhere really. A few choice words or panels would have been enough.

That doesn't really do it for me because for all we know test subjects might be on a strictly enforced diet for research and/or humans can't metabolize their biojerky or their snacks. Besides the cube might've been their full meal rather than just a snack.

>poorly executed

That's what I mean. The idea is fine but they have to earn the twist.

stop calling them he, everyone is either female or nonbinary in this webcomic

squid stopped the pointless running panels from happening, that's pretty based

I don't read many webcomics and I'm sure there are dumber ones out there, but this is the dumbest webcomic I've ever read.

I would post a reaction image to express my displeasure, but gotta respect the storytime and all that.
Even for a piece of shit like this.

I just assume that only compies can use the she word on each other and the kids just use they.

Z's hair is so unkempt it hides the Infinity Gauntlet.

I figure its like the Asari from Mass Effect don't think about it to hard

Steven Universe did it too so it's okay

he

Based and hepilled.

Uh, actually, females and nonbinary people can use he too because drag queens exist and they get permission to use she.

Check and mate.

that's fair

maybe i'm being too nice because it's the closest thing to a reversal this story has deigned to grace us with

Why is the small blonde motherfucker blushing?

Ahem/ To explain the shit with the pronouns according to the wiki;

>Compies do not have biological sexes, and their culture does not have a concept of gender.
>The Compie language uses pronouns as honorifics.
>The third-person pronouns used for formal, professional contexts and general usage is translated into English as "they / them".
>A more personal third-person pronoun set, used for close friends and romantic partners, is translated into English as "she / her".[15][16]

So.... it's formal/informal pronouns, the closest concept which we have in English being you vs. thou.
That's just a shitty translation and fundamental misunderstanding of how language works at that point.

is there any reason why these kids would fight her?
we can assume she hasn't done anything bad to them and the kids were even happy to see her

they just watched how she called two other humans "animals" and "work" come on user

I kind of want the ayylmao to do something stupid like shift into a dollar bin xenomorph and try to murder the kids, but then pirate lady comes and you get a tumblr version of alien vs predator. Mainly just for something ANYTHING that isn't boring to happen.

So let me get this guess. Xaveria and Zehra both knew about the pirate attack. Zehra wanted to leave Tye for dead but Xaveria wanted to save her and went back. So what's Zehra doing in this level?

She's being very mean and she needs a time out.

Attached: 1289-1296.png (800x4031, 2.98M)

What a saitei iseijin.

god this is so fucking retarded

The original plan was to probably hide in forest level then find a way to contact their home planet or someone in charge for help. If the pirates came before that, Zehra would've most likely used the kids as a distraction to buy Xaveria time to go through with the original plan.

Did we really need an intermeddiate panel between the dirt being thrown and the dirt hitting Zehra?

This is more of the fault of the artist for using a lazy excuse for drama, but the edit works because each scene plays off of each other smoothly. If you cut the second pane,l the third and fourth would seem weird since the entire panel is building up to the bug thing’s reaction to the kid being a dope. If anything, the first one could be cut, but leaving it in doesn’t harm anything.

you're mistaking the second panel for a cause rather than an effect

I would consider it more of a psych profile more than anything.

If this were an actual TV show, and not a webcomic with way too many panels, I feel it would be a lot more enjoyable. The story has potential, but the biggest thing weighing it down is how slow everything is. The scenes of nothing happening would be a lot more tolerable if they each were 30 seconds of animation rather than 20 static images.

You know, that's the whole reason traditional comics have juxtaposition and inconsistent panel size. A big panel can help convey that a moment is lingering.

I hope that the fact that 7 is aware of the pirates fooling aorund dynamic do become somehow relevant. Obviously not gonna happen bc this thing is about to end, but if it was in the novel or whatever the fuck they are doing itd be a fun piece of payoff

>>>She

9, the blond adult one is pretty big tits

What the fuck does it mean to be Filipino in space?
Do the Philippines even exist any more in this universe?

I think its meant as in race user. Its one class of the asian races.

The only reason that Homestuck is so fucking long is because Hussie literally can not help himself from writing a goddamn novel at every turn. It's also the only reason the panel-to-panel system works, because each panel is like an entire three minutes of conversation at least aside from the occasional interludes/faux-animation like you said. Doing panel-to-panel if your writing isn't dense as fuck or just constantly going full tilt like Hussie's is a really bad idea.

While the sheer number of panels is excessive at times it seems that being trained as a storyboarder creates a flow of action far better than that of most professional comic artists.

You remember one thing... panicking won’t help you. Panic is a sudden sensation of fear [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear], which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reason [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason] and logical [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic] thinking, replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anxiety] and frantic agitation [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_agitation] consistent with an animalistic fight-or-flight [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response] reaction. If you calm down, you can remember what happened and you can figure out if you’re okay. You can! You have to. Just try to remember!

Nigga, OP's not done yet.
Just wait, man.

there's the illusion of line weight which makes the characters look more interesting, and the sketch style allows for more abstractions.

Sketches often feel like they have more weight to them and also allow your mind to fill in the gaps.

>ARE YOU ON HIS BALONEY PONEY?!

I personally really liked Homestuck. The ending was ass but I don't regret it as a whole (even if in some ways it's still going and that's been pretty divisive). Just the copycat-ism, very clearly and shamelessly taking that style (granted aside from (reasonably having to) sticking with the chatlogs and commands, it cools down fast. The start of it reeked of it though).

>Commentary
Ironically, the pacing actually picks up as soon as the artstyle goes to shit. They were rushing it out so hard they didn't have time to make the dozens of unnecessary panels they usually do.

i really hate this "we didn't develop this character so let's just have another character list off positive qualities about them" shit.

>Commentary
Well. That's it. That's the ending.

Here Anons, you'll need this.
youtu.be/oIscL-Bjsq4

That was a fucking trip. Like I said, it was my first time reading this, so.

HOLY SHIT that was bad.

The first THOUSAND pages of this are utter fucking garbage. Irredeemable. And yet, as soon as Tye and Z leave center stage, it suddenly becomes more bearable. Seven and Scree aren't completely insufferable, so even though the pacing is still shitty, you can kind of stand it. And they finally learn what pacing is by the time Iris shows up- And then it ends.

Tumbling down.

I'm gonna post some miscellany now, because that's what I do. I hope you enjoyed the storytime.

does anyone know if they ever intend to release the light novels to the public or will they be always patreons only?

God bless you for your troubles user, I actually really liked the setting of this story and a few ideas it was going for but the guy(s) behind this were too braindead to present it in a decent way.

I think they're gonna try to publish them in print.

Here, I'll read the blog post at the end.

>Hey guys! Shelby here.
>You may remember the year 2017. Wow, guys, that was a bad one. In a very sad move for us, we had to halt production on our extremely ambitious webcomic, NEO-KOSMOS.com
>However, that was not and is not the end of the project.
>I am happy to announce that we are in the midst of adapting NEOKOSMOS into a series of highly illustrated novels. That’s right, folks. Now you can read about your favorite miserable characters... with words. And pictures, still, I promise. So many pictures. We currently have the first novel completely outlined and are about 22k words into the first draft, with progress steady.
>But... we can’t do it without your help! If you check out our new patreon page, you will find that we now have our own discord server for patrons! On this server you can hang out with the creators, and receive access to development notes, sketches, and much more!
>There is even a special tier where we will send you PDFs of our drafts to read along with the story IN REAL TIME as we write it, and give your feedback!
>Come join us, and support the creation of your favorite dark and mysterious LGBT comedy sci-fi universe! We’d love to have you aboard.

Honestly all I can say about this is...

COMEDY? COMEDY!!?!?

Ah yes, the best medium for these story boards.
Print.

They want to publish it eventually. They're actually gonna try to get a publisher to take it.

Thank you OP for this. It's been an absolute misery posting with you

>comedy
Since when was there any lighthearted moments? The very first pages?

>Comedy

these cunts have the gall to charge you for continuing this story. i've had my own comic planned out in my head for years and the very idea of stopping in the middle of what still feels like the first chapter of the story, then charging my audience for the rest makes me fucking sick. especially if i made the first half of what i actually bothered to release so painful to get through. i wouldn't blame the entire human fucking race for blacklisting me from ever producing anything again.

all the fucking crying was actually intended to be comedic

user linked this before, but I'll post it for posterity. These are character redesigns for the book, I think. So that's what Red looks like.

Honestly? The realism makes them look a lot less retarded. Triss's hair isn't a 4D nightmare, her horse face looks less stupid when it resembles an actual horse face, and she has tits! That's important.
Plus Scree's head isn't literally a fucking cube, so that's an improvement.

Attached: tumblr_pucncf16x21us3swho1_1280.jpg (1280x1760, 868K)

At least it ends with absolute best boy 7.
Man Im seriously tempted to go after the novels bc 7 and bug were really good.

Nice, that insufferable +1000 pgs pile of shit gets actually readable and it suddenly ends, then they can open a Patreon and bait shekels from woke SJW.
Anyways, you're insane OP.

Comedy.

>the least red of the three

Ah, here's all the book designs.

Holy SHIT the compies got ugly. Did they really need thick cock necks?

9 got her lips deflated, so that's something.

Realistic Z will probably haunt my nightmares because by god I don't want Z to be real.

comedy? Z and Jay are the antithesis of anything remotely funny, are all the SWJ characters so silly and annoying?

it looked good until i saw Z

>DocX had Tys picture
Cute

Jesus christ how did Z get uglier?

Also, I just realized Red is supposed to be a Compie with his brain-puter torn out. I didn't realize until I saw the second pic cause the necks were new.

So uh, PLOT TWIST! I guess.

It's just really long chutlettes

But way too long under an oversized shirt
Someone get this boy some fashion sense

Thanks a lot for the storytime, OP. I've tried reading Neokosmos before but this is the first time I've actually managed to get all the way through it, and it's all because of the people in this thread and the fact you made the pages less tedious to read

>Cumpie
That's a porn name if I've ever read one, but Cumpie here doesn't seem to be a porn artist. they've got on their blog if you like steven universe and really lanky limbs. url is cumpi3 if you want that idk.

No other fanart seems to be worth posting so just enjoy your tits, I guess.
