...I mean, it's technically true, death is inevitable.

No, no. They're actually HYPER mortal. They can get killed by just about anything... But can survive some few extreme things that make no sense. Turtles, some jellyfish, and some FISH are immortal however.

Once upon a time there was an ugly barnacle, and he was SO ugly that everyone died.

The End.

This is the "happy ending" opposed to the main comic, At least Mindes is a better person now...I think...and Ambus has someone to relate to, he's not really alone, even though he lost his relationship with mindes.

Also I'm kind of curious to know why you chose pokémon to ilustrate your comic, it could have been any other specie, so why lycanrocs?

"Here's the original plot, suggested by Achiga
"How about a small story between a male (shiny) midnight lycanroc and a female midday Lycanroc. The midnight lycanroc is shy about his looks since he doesn't look like the others and secretly loves the girl next door. Eventually he conquers his fears, asks her out and she ends up loving him as well.""

Only because the requester asked for Lycanroc.

Awwww... dammit, this still makes me quite sad, but I definitely prefer it over the alternative. Thank you for making this comic(s?)

that was a very nice epilogue. it's nice to know Ambus found a new friend. and it's even better to know that Mindes found himself in therapy.

AMAZING COMIC! Rolercoaster story, beautiful art. just a good piece all the way through! THANK YOU!

Ooh Mindes being a drama queen,

Ya know you could still get him in with six,
watch out his moves,
you get to safeguard shinies(cuz, therapies might not last long)
and, Mindes uwu

It's not like you'd let yourself be the victim in the first place,
he's an interesting subject to know more of psychologically~

Pieces are joy to analyse, where the jagged edges are,
the what parts remain largely intact and what are most broken
I just meant to keep those pieces in stasis,
because it's easier to observe uneven ones for variety, to isolate factors

I just need to be precautious,
use sterile gloves or a laboratory spatula to pick up the pieces
and proceed with care in personal observations
like an archeological specimen

broken ones can be fun to analyze uwu

Very interesting comic that I loved reading every weekend! People on E621 were commenting on how they felt jipped by the ending here, but I approached this more as an observational piece by the time Ambus discovered Mindes’s shady profile. To me, this comic represents behaviors you can find in the real world: stagnation, history of abuse, isolation, mistrust, and in some ways paranoia. I think there was an expectation of a climactic moment where readers could stop making assumptions and just figure out, absolutely, whether Mindes or Ambus were ‘in the wrong’ (like some scene where Mindes chases Ambus around with a kitchen knife, or whatever). This ending leaves me feeling the same way most major real life conflicts go: there’s all these bits and pieces, evidences, swirling about in my head trying to reveal to me that one was fully justified. To me, Ambus’s major victory that grew from his experiences is how he managed to leap over all that doubt. Mindes sought professional help—this alone is such a great accomplishment. The details matter less than the whole picture it paints for their FUTURE lives.

At the very beginning, Ambus told Mindes they should “make the best” out of living next to each other. With all things considered, they definitely improved as persons thanks to the other. It’s sad to think they will never be even friends, but being hungry for change helped both of them develop.

Okay with all that said can we get a bonus scene of Ambus blowin’ that orange dude? Just messing with ya—fantastic comic!

Thank you for the well-thought out comment and analysis.

Truth is, can't please everyone. If you please everyone, you're not doing it right. I didn't think going through Ambus's history right after the breakup was necessary; he's a pretty normal dude, so just apply to your own experiences with breakups, or look to the movies/television if you've never experienced it. I didn't document their relationship building up to the twist, I'm not going to document their life after it. It's a waste of time. Everyone and their mom does that in furry comics. I don't have time to waste doing that shit. Come at me with "rushed" e621, with your propensity to accept filler pages up the ass.

Some people are so stuck in furry land with such awfully-written comics (not trying to toot my own horn but... some of them are just bad) that they fail to realize there isn't always a right or wrong, or a truly good ending for everyone. This ending can be interpreted in so many different ways, depending on your own moral stances, sub-text reading skills, expression reading, etc... That any ending someone comes up with in their head is probably correct aside from "then Mindes and Ambus got back together and had a threesome with Six".

I'm glad that you were able to deduce that much from the comic; glad you read through it; and happy that you're happy with it.

You did outstanding work here. It's rare to see a furry comic that tackles this stuff and it was a bit of a breath of fresh air from the usual stuff.

I really would liked to see them together again. But I like realistic stories as well x.x I think I will remember this comic more than any comic I have ever read here. Wish one day I can be able to do something as good as that

I absolutely loved this comic. One of my favorite things is how it went from a cute romance comic to this psychological-horror esque story very well. My second favorite thing about this is the art - I'm not art critic at all, I prefer writing, but even I know that your art was awesome. One thing that does bother me is that how well the song Baker Street fits in with both of these ending panels. If this was made into a movie or something, I can totally see Mindes saying "He just mistook me for someone he once knew" as the song gradually fades in. Like I said earlier, I absolutely loved this and am looking forward to seeing more from you.

also ambus is T A L L

Not gonna lie i have waited for a comic like this for an awfully long time and it surely delivered.
Thank you.

Copy-Pasted this from E6



This is an accurate, bittersweet ending.

As said before I've had my own experiences with abuse, and the gods honest truth is this: You can never completely fix yourself.

You can always pick up the pieces, learn to deal with what happened in the past, and move on, but a part of you will always be stuck in the past and a part of you will always be missing. You're never 100% [then again who is?]

But you can be 90%, or 95%, you can learn to take it in stride and live while learning to carry that weight. Thats what Mindes did. People say he doesn't really look happy in the last panel, and maybe he isn't happy, but maybe seeing Ambus brings back uncomfortable or shameful memories, or maybe he just has Resting Bitch Face like a lot of people do.

This ending is sudden and bittersweet because that's how life is, sometimes you just..Gotta learn to let go. Whether or not you wanna see someone again ultimately won't change what happened in the past, and being with that person may bring back painful memories or cause undue stress upon the other person or yourself, god knows I've pushed myself away from people that cared from me simply because I didn't want to burden someone with the shit that needs to be done to help me, shit which required a lot of therapy [which, ultimately did fuck-all because I wasn't able to tell my psychologist the truth thanks to my mother breathing down the back of my neck.]

This is an extremely long-winded comment, but overall this is one of the most accurate, best representations of how life is at times for people going through abuse and those who either love them or are simply related to them. A wonderfully bittersweet ending that may leave you numb means that you're now sharing Ambus emotions, it's up to you to not let it get to you and simply..Move on.

https://youtu.be/8N_PXTGdlGw For me, this comic has been a...Catharsis of sorts, unlike other media which tries to predict the process of going through and moving on from abuse, this didn't sugarcoat it at all and finally it felt like I could relate to a character the whole way through, no cheap gimmicks, no badly written twists, just pure goodness the whole way through. Being someone who's been in both Ambus and Mindes shoes, I can say both portrayals are accurate to a T.

Grimart, thank you for this. This has been a wonderful, if dark, experience from beginning to end.

It took me a few weeks to catch up, I wanted to have time to sit down and read and truly process these last few pages of the story you've presented to us. I really appreciate you for taking a simple probably porn-intended prompt, and creating something so relatably real and different from the generic smut comic.
I won't waste your time with my thoughts, as

You could keep going with any story. It's not a question of that, it's a question of is it the right thing to do, and if there isn't a good story behind it being the right thing to do, it's not the right thing to do, and you'll end up wasting your and other people's time.
