a while ago somebody on tumblr told me that they imagined 'Myrrh' was pronounced like a 'cat activation noise' and this comment feels like the spiritual successor to that one

{THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MYRRH FOR NEW PEOPLE WHO ONLY KNOW HER FROM EVERYONE'S FRIEND: 1. she normally has a 👃 2. she's normally quite happy 3. she could be anywhere, any gender, and sometimes any quantity 4. she can speak any language but not on purpose 5. she's going to be okay }

[It's extra funny to me that I happened to start defaulting to cartoony Myrrhs more often at the same time that Everyone's Friend started blowing up because now what if there are new people who think of that as the predominant Myrrh in their heads? what if the people don't know about her 👃anymore??]

(I've drawn so many simple cartoony Myrrhs this year that her👃runs the risk of being lost to the sands of time but it's important that you know about her 👃so I've made this helpful infographic)

WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT / Reminder @ myself:

drawing of Myrrh pointing at her own nose, accompanied by a caption that says 'She normally has a nose!!', with the word 'nose' represented by a small drawing of Myrrh's nose instead of the actual word 'nose'.

I'm sure she can find a small smackerel of something

Oh, I've listened to a little bit of Against Me!, Sorority Noise, and Joyce Manor but I'm not like super familiar with them. Some of these other ones I've not even heard of though, I'll check them out

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 26/09/2026

that's kinda crazy, I sort of figured most people would only recognize 2 or 3 of these and it would be a different 2 or 3 for each person lol Got any favorite artists that aren't on here that you'd recommend me checking out?

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 22/09/2026

referring to any smaller-than-normal thing as lowercase has been one of my favorite techniques for a hot minute. Underappreciated

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 22/09/2026

y'know I've been eating and making this for so long it didn't even occur to me that that's one of the weirder things about it. I'm used to people being like "Mushroom soup?? Cheddar?? Worcestershire??"; nobody's ever pointed out how weird it is that it has two sauces that you specifically DON'T mix

Hey can we make my Weird Lasagna?

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 14/09/2026

under normal circumstances she would find hot pockets too dry and carbonation too annoying but one of those mouths seems a lot less discerning than the others so maybe it's okay so long as you feed the correct one

(If you kill her, she drops $2 and a video game cartridge. The game is a sad visual novel that makes you feel lonely when you play it but if you beat it you unlock a skill that can paralyze all targets with sadness)

(Accepting lets her join your party. As a party member, she tries to help you find the "good" solution to every problem, but if you do something "bad" while she's in your party it makes her condition worse, and the head in her stomach will grow until it eats the rest of her and then attacks you.)

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 13/09/2026

(Rejecting her makes her condition worse, and she transforms further, loses control, and attacks you. Her battle is tragically easy and she'll die in 2 or 3 hits.)

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 12/09/2026

you could probably find a way, but because your body's "magic" energy and "non-magic" energy are the same, it'd probably make you really sick if it didn't kill you. Because by blocking that energy flow, you'd be preventing your body from doing normal body stuff too, not just magic stuff

010

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 12/09/2026

Under normal circumstances, no. You can channel your magic THROUGH people, to various effect, but you can't normally imprint on something living because the body is continuously imprinting on itself, so the any other imprint would get immediately overwritten by your own

Thank you! I've had a loooooong time to think about this stuff lol

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 12/09/2026

This is a great question that will be important in the books (still working on it!) so I can't answer it right now

030

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 12/09/2026

Correct! Magic can be honed, like training a muscle, and there ARE techniques and things you can learn to improve your magic so long as you were born with it in the first place, but it can't really be ACQUIRED, which I think was the spirit of what you were asking

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 12/09/2026

Thank you! That bit was actually totally unplanned; I just realized as I was drawing it: "Hey, I'm drawing her pressing the chalk against her face a LOT, wouldn't it be funny if it left a new dot every time?" and so I added it in on a whim and then it became my favorite joke

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 11/09/2026

I've gotten a lot of questions over the years about how magic works in Aesungaia, so I decided to have Shen help me explain the basics. If you would like to read this comic the way it's supposed to look instead of awkwardly sliced up, you can read it more easily on my website:

This probably sounds awesome to some people but I'm just imagining bumping my ankles against cold little plastic eyeballs and getting mad lol I think I could appreciate it if it was like. 4 gigantic plushies but if it's like 100 little guys I'm out. sensory hell

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 06/09/2026

Someone on tumblr asked about shen's bed-to-plushie ratio (which is described in her character bio as "dire") so I made this helpful diagram. About 30% of her bed's surface area is plushie territory, but she insists it's okay because she's 5 ft tall and sleeps scrunched up

hastily-doodled diagram of Shen's bed, showing 30% of it being taken up by plushies. A pink outline of Shen curled up on her side barely fits in the remaining space.

Chirs @aesungaia.neocities.org · 01/09/2026

Yeah, I haven't actually had a direct run-in with someone like this in ages, but I still observe them in the wild online a lot and I squint disapprovingly at them from the sidelines lol

I had a really hard time picking between Bianco Hills and Ricco Harbor, but I went with Bianco in the end. Just because I really like it, here's the Ricco screenshot I would've used. I was either gonna have Myrrh sitting at the edge of the cliff or sitting on the scaffold, I couldn't decide
