Please support artists if you're able in this trying time. Many artists relied on Tapas for income, and its shuttering - especially without communication from the parent company - is gonna hit comic artists pretty hard.

As for DOLLSHAPE, we're still ruminating about the future of the comic. We're proud of the work we'd done and the intense improvement from the first panel to the last, but we'd like to take what we've learned and try to give the webcomic portion of our project a better foundation from the start.

given the news about Tapas' closure, DOLLSHAPE will eventually publish to another website once our hiatus is over and the story is ready to continue. we're saddened by the news, especially given the lack of communication from the parent company about its closure.

vocaloid was built off of the hard work and labour of black people, just like rock n roll was built off of black jazz artists. the first vocaloid voicebanks were provided by black vocalists. if you're rewriting history like vocaloid is white people shit, blow your whole shit smooth, clean off.

just wanna be clear about something real quick, concerning the slayr birdbrain shit: DOLLSHAPE is an anti-racist, anti-hate outfit. if you're out here with some "ooh i don't listen to gangsta rap" when you're talking about music that ain't even CLOSE to it, you're a racist fuck and we don't want u

we also seem to have a currently unhealthy relationship with our work as a result of the economic pressures of being broke. while gathering motivation to write music, the anxiety about whether it'll make money for us often shuts us down. we're working on that, as well. thanks for your patience!

here's the new gear we got, a custom-built short scale bass guitar strung with and kitted out for four baritone guitar strings. it allows for more versatility in our sound. as a result, it opened up quite a few new doors we've previously been unable to explore, and we wanna explore them!

additionally, we've been re-evaluating our goals and desires for this project, doing a lot of tiring yet worthwhile introspection, and handling IRL commitments that have taken up quite a bit of our time. we want to continue this project! it's just gonna take a little time to get re-organized. <3

DS has been on an indefinite hiatus for a few reasons; primarily getting in my own head far too much about what amounts to a casual amateur project, but also because we've recently acquired new gear that we're trying to learn (and model into the DS world.)

technical difficulties with that one meme format everyone's doing

En points to Teto, who is wearing a cyberpunk off-shoulder jacket, revealing her red bra underneath. En says, "Your bra strap is showing!"

Teto pulls at her jacket, showing that she can't tug it around or move it herself. Teto says, "I'd do the meme, but this jacket ain't got the bones to morph."

A PSA FROM DOLLSHAPE: "If you cannot separate fiction from reality, you will not survive the winter!"

En stands with its arms crossed as Roadie lays atop a counter, her back against a staircase behind her. Roadie smiles gleefully at the viewer while she holds a revolver in one hand, and a cylinder drum in the other. Roadie: "Howdy! I'm Roadie, bassist and vocalist for Dollshape! I'm here with an important PSA!"

En looks over at Roadie with mild curiosity as Roadie slaps the cylinder drum into her revolver with a click, smile still stuck on her face. Roadie: "Fictional content is not capable of causing material harm on its own! Rather, it is the audience's responsibility to be able to engage with fiction with separation & logic. For example, observe the next panel!"

Roadies smile evaporates from her face as she points her revolver at En and pulls the trigger. A bullet launches in and out of En's skull, blood splattering out of the entrance and exit wound.

En is out of frame, while Roadie shrugs at the viewer with an irritated expression. Roadie: "Ceci n'est pas une crime."

And finally, TALL TETO. made real because tall women are good. tall *doll* women are even better

Roadie, Teto and En standing in the middle of a street, their cars parked on both lanes. Roadie and En are both about the same height, while Teto towers about a foot above them both.

The same setting, but with the three characters in slightly different poses and from a lower angle.

This is Roadie's car, the 1987 Arlington Doutrive. While the car is often in various states of disrepair, Roadie does her best to try and keep up with the maintenance on a tight budget. It has a rather gutless 2.2L I4, but it USUALLY gets her from point A to point B, and that's what counts.

Roadie, wearing a deep cut tank top, jeans and red high-top shoes, slides across the hood of a small red-orange utility car. One hand is placed on the edge of the hood while her feet swing forward, cresting the camera-side of the car with her alchemical handcannon pointed in the air, held in her left hand. She looks off camera with a determined expression on her face.

"Roadie, you parked like shit." "Who's gonna stop me, the cops?" 🚗: sketchfab.com/DanielZhabot...

On the side of a street, a purple stationwagon is parked on the side of the road. behind it is an orange car with two wheels on the sidewalk. Roadie sits on the hood of her orange car, hands in a defensive shrug. En angrily points down at Roadie's wheels while Teto watches on aloofly with her arms crossed.

En stands beside its purple stationwagon as it poses for the camera with confidence and smugness. Extremely low-poly trees of various shapes and colours stand in the background.

Here's Roadie's refresh! She's a lot more expressive now, with a very soft and friendly face and eyes that are easier to read at a distance! ESPECIALLY important when you can only ever see one of em.

Roadie, sitting on the roof of her orange coupe utility car with her feet resting against the lightbar rollcage. She looks at the camera with a big, friendly smile. In the background, En stands next to his car in an arrogant muscle flexing pose. Teto recoils away from En.

Roadie sits atop the front counter at the Cartomancy Cafe, her legs resting across the countertop and her hands rested against her leg. She looks at the camera with a sweet smile. The menu on the blackboard behind her is written poorly in chalk, almost entirely unreadable.

a low-colour depth render of Teto, sitting on an L-shaped desk in a flirty manner. Her left hand is placed gently upon her chest while her other hand lays flat on the desk for support. Her knees are daintly posed, and her feet are placed against the desk for balance and support. her head is cocked to the side, side-eyeing the viewer with a mischievous grin.

A low-colour depth, high-FOV render of Teto. She cocks her head to the side and looks up at the camera above her, with one hand on her offset hip and her left hand ready to snap her fingers. A chalk-drawn sigil is laid on the desk with a mortar and pestle placed in the center of it, the bowl filled with a grey powder.

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 13 "INFECTION"

Teto and Roadie crouch down next to the Shadow's headless and lifeless body, its wrist still suspended in mid-air by the spell En cast on it in the fight. Teto calls over to En. Teto: "En, I'll use this Shadow carcass to teach Roadie a few things. Find out where the kid went." En begins walking away from the group as it responds. En: "Gotcha. Nice shot by the way, Roadie. You gotta teach me how to shoot like that sometime." En's speech bubbles have a strange gradient to them, from white to a light gray.

En walks towards a red box in the distance as Roadie and Teto begin inspecting the Shadow. On the back of the Shadow's shirt is a dark red, circular sigil. Teto: "So, Roadie. A Shadow is an embodiment of intrusive and repressive thought." Roadie: "This one's got a sigil. What does that one do?"

En opens the red box to reveal the child's hiding spot: the inside of a fridge. En: "Hey, kid! Great hiding spot!" En's speech bubbles have a much stronger gradient to them. The child looks up at En with worry. Kid: "Thank you! I just kind of... uh... Stranger, are you feeling okay?"

We pivot around to see En's face fully revealed. Its right eye's sclera has become pitch black, and its speech bubbles have inverted to white on black. En: "Sure am, kiddo! Never better!" Roadie and Teto are still inspecting the Shadow's body in the background. Roadie scratches her head, while Teto points at the sigil and looks over in En's direction with fear in her eyes.

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 12 "ONE-LINER"

The trio - En, Teto and Roadie - stare past the viewer at the shadow just off-panel. En points toward Roadie with a devious grin on its face. En: "Now, if you don't mind sticking around, my pal Roadie has a gift she'd LOVE to send, care on delivery!"

Roadie points her gun at the shadow, still struggling to break its wrist free from the alchemical wristlock it has been stuck in. En: "This is the thing about shards, edgelord... If you don't stop playing with 'em, you're gonna get yourself cut."

Roadie pulls the trigger with a loud BANG, pulsing a green, energetic muzzle flash out of the barrel.

The shadow, now headless, hangs limply from its wrist, still caught in the wristlock mid-air. En's eyes open wide with surprise. En: "Whoa, holy shit! That took its head clean, smooth off!"

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 11 "FIGHT BACK"

Multiple panels in one page, a first for DOLLSHAPE. PANEL 1: The stranger has poofed back into the small child from earlier, and is now hiding behind Teto while En prepares to fight. En: "Scoot, take cover!" Teto: "GO! HIDE!" PANEL 2: En now focuses on the dark figure who interrupted their conversation and readies itself. PANEL 3: En blocks a punch from the figure as Teto helps Roadie off the ground. Teto: "Let's find the handcannon! En will handle the shadow!" PANEL 4: En slips out of his block and grabs the shadow's wrist in one hand, while bringing his finger and thumb together with the other. PANEL 5: En snaps its fingers, creating two pink circles reverberating energy around the shadow's wrist. PANEL 6: The trio watch their enemy struggle to free their wrist from the alchemical energy circles. En: "HAH! Get fuckin' OWNED!" Shadow: "FUCKING SHARDS!"

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 10 "SPOTTED"

The four shards form a lazy circle as they talk to each other. Roadie is holding a new handcannon cylinder in one hand and her empty gun in the other. Roadie: "Alright, so I'm TECHNICALLY real, but NOT REALLY. KINDA, but SORTA NOT." En pleads with Roadie, clasping its hands together as if in prayer. En: "I mean, when you put it like that, it DOES sound pretty insane. But like, it DOES explain the disjointed memories, right?"

En continues its pleading. En: "Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but we were all gonna have to accept the circumstances at some point." The stranger leans into the circle towards Roadie, joining in on the reassurance. Stranger: "You're not wrong for being angry. I'm pretty upset, too. But we've got the cards we're dealt, so we gotta play them."

The scene distorts into extreme contrast and motion blur as the door, floating behind them in non-euclidian space, is violently kicked open with a loud SLAM by a dark figure. The group, collectively startled by the loud noise, jump away from each other. Roadie loses grip on her gun, now loaded, as it flies through the air.

We take a closer look at the dark figure, revealing itself to have pitch black skin and hair with dark grey clothes. A flame design trails up from the ankle to the knee on its pants. Its eyelashes, eyes and brows are in a stark monochrome palette, and her sharp teeth is bared at the group. Shadow: "Ahh, I see. More shards. I thought I smelled 'crazy' around here."

171

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 9 "SHARDS"

Between Roadie and En, we see the stranger begin to explain something. Stranger: "I think I've heard about something like this. We're part of an individual's mental defense mechanism. If an individual suffers from prolonged periods of trauma without an adequate way to process that trauma, the mind 'breaks' into something like a 'personality shard.' The 'shards' then take control of the mind in times when the brain feels it needs to protect itself."

The strangers continues explaining her theory. Stranger: "If we're the 'shards,' that means the world we're experiencing isn't 'real,' at least not in the way that word is defined. It's real to us, sure. We can make a coffee and drink it, and appreciate its taste. Technically speaking, however, we are ultimately not the ones being perceived by eyes outside the boundaries of this world. We're actually stuck in a body that doesn't look like any of us."

Looking over the stranger's shoulder now, Teto responds to her. Teto: "Precisely. To be more specific, we're part of a defense system that has been classified as 'Dissociative Identity Disorder.' I have been designated by this system to help guide new 'shards' through the process of understanding this." Roadie looks over at Teto in shock at this information. Roadie: "Wait... Teto, that's your serious face. Why are you wearing your serious face while you're saying these things?!"

161

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 8 "ANSWERS"

Roadie wipes her soot-covered face with her sleeve while En looks on with concern. Roadie: "Ughh, I'm covered in soot now, thanks." Teto places a hand on En's shoulder. Teto: "What I've just demonstrated is the mind protecting itself, from itself. You can't kill anyone here who is a major piece of the mind." The stranger in a battle vest coils with surprise. Stranger: "IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE?! AM I THE ONLY SANE ONE RIGHT NOW?!"

Roadie raises a soot-and-burn covered hand, clenching it into a fist while pointing a thumb at herself. Roadie: "Shut up. All of you." En defensively places his hands in the air as Roadie continues to speak. Roadie: "I'm sick of the cryptic shit. 'The mind protecting itself from itself?' How is ANYONE supposed to get ANY clarity out of THAT?!"

En speaks with worry. En: "Roadie, we're not real. Nothing has ever been real. We're all shards of a traumatized mind, brought to life to protect it from further harm." Roadie angrily turns her gaze to En and cups her hand against her ear. Her handcannon in the other hand is missing a cylinder, likely vaporized in the backfire. Roadie: "Sorry, En! I couldn't hear you over all that BULLSHIT!" En: "Think about it. You can't remember when I hired you at the cafe, you just... showed up, one day."

Roadie softens her glare into an introspective curiosity. Roadie: "...huh. Yeah, I don't even remember giving you my application, either." En: "Because you never needed to. This cafe, this 'mindspace,' needed help. You are the help."

192

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 7 "EVEN MORE QUESTIONS"

Roadie and the stranger join back with Teto and En, the two pairs glancing at each other as they rejoin each other. Roadie: "Alright, we're clones or something. What gives with the secrecy-" Teto interrupts Roadie, crossing her arms with her matter-of-fact response. Teto: "No, you're not clones. I don't think either of you would be able to manage the gravity of what all of us actually, really are."

Roadie flips a hand to the air and rolls her eyes. Roadie: "Oh, my GOD! I'm not fucking twelve, Teto. Just tell us and get it over with." Teto opens her crossed arms to point at Roadie's pocket, humoring her desire to know the truth. Teto: "Alright, fine. First, a demonstration. Try shooting me with the handcannon."

Roadie quickly pulls her left hand out of her hoodie pocket, handcannon in hand, and points it straight at Teto. En: "SHIT, GET BACK!" En pushes the stranger back as it notices the serious expression on Teto's face. Roadie, meanwhile, takes aim. Roadie: "Sure, whatever. You're probably gonna pull some gimmicky shit, anyway."

The gun explodes in Roadie's hands with a loud BANG, as the stranger and En cover their faces in their arms and crouch down a short distance away from the explosion. Roadie: "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Teto pulls away from the explosion and tries to cover her head, as if taken aback by the sudden burst. Teto: "CHRIST, Roadie!! A damn countdown would've been nice!"

171

DOLLSHAPE. @dollshape.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

DOLLSHAPE - CH. 2, SET 6 "QUESTIONS"

Roadie leans back against a door held up by nothing in non-euclidian space, a sickly green mess of pixels radiating in the background. She looks with irritation at her copycat, who is crossing her arms with a concerned expression. Stranger: "I wish I could give you answers, but I'm just as stumped as you. All we know is that we both feel that somebody copied someone else's style, but our ink isn't from a catalog. They're our own designs. The logical conclusion is coincidence, but we have the exact same tattoos. It's so unlikely as to be impossible."

The stranger continues her explanation as Roadie softens her face into an expression of slight worry. Stranger: "Even our explanation for what each tattoo means is exactly the same. It leaves only one answer, but it's terrifying. I wouldn't even know how to begin to explain such a thing. It's probably why your friends don't want to say anything about it. They don't know how to explain it, either."

The camera closes up on Roadie as she looks down at her feet. Roadie: "Yeah. Nothing about this is statistically possible, or even logically sound. We're only barely different, as if we split off from the same mind. So, it begs the question. WERE we? Are we unique individuals who just happen to be impossibly similar, or were we the same person at some point in time?"

Roadie now looks toward the stranger with a worrisome look on her face, while the Stranger looks back at Roadie with a pensive smile. Roadie: "Well, I can't conceive of any other possibility except that we're some kind of clone. Built from the same codebase, but forked into different versions. It doesn't exactly explain how you can turn into a child, or why that even happens, but I'm sure we can try to figure something out... or get Teto or En to spill the beans."
