Fateful loaf

foxesinlove post Fateful loaf from patreon

Based on an actual conversation we've had, though I don't really take that kind of folk faith too seriously. I only remarked on it jokingly as I fumbled the bread while putting away our groceries, and when my boyfriend asked me what I'm talking about, it turned out that he'd never heard of that one before.

I've figured...

Gratitude

foxesinlove post Gratitude from patreon

Another one based on a conversation we more or less literally had - works slightly better in finnish, since in finnish "grateful" is "thankful", which has different connonations in english.

War Goddess

foxesinlove post War Goddess from patreon

Another mini construction! It's a bit wonky here and there, but it's my second kitbash put togehter from random Warhammer/Age of Sigmar scraps, and my first attempt at something called Object Source Lighting - a painting effect meant to produce an illusion of a light source within the miniature itself. I tried to give her the...

Lord Ratthew the Worst

foxesinlove post Lord Ratthew the Worst from patreon

I made a miniature out of leftover scrap pieces of Warhammer figurines! No plan, no filler material like green stuff, just me gluing stuff together to see what happens - and then doing the same with painting. Tested a lot of painting techniques that I'd never tried before and didn't want to risk doing to a proper mini, so her...

Alea iacta est

foxesinlove post Alea iacta est from patreon

Sorry that the comics have been so Warhammer-themed recently, we've been caught in the whirlwind of it for weeks now. But look at the tyranids I'm painting!

Snowfall

foxesinlove post Snowfall from patreon

First snow never lasts, but I've never seen it land so thick and stay for days! Picture from my old home town from last saturday.

Shop appointment

foxesinlove post Shop appointment from patreon

The original punchline was that we're replacing all the things that I broke, but my boyfriend felt like that would be too mean-spirited. The shopkeeper's moustache is true to life, however. He does have a spectacular waxed 'stashe that I could not leave out of the comic.

This is, indeed, part of my sleepytime calm-down routine. By around 75-85, he starts twitching in his sleep like a sleeping dog.

Immovable cold vs unstoppable heat

foxesinlove post Immovable cold vs unstoppable heat from patreon

This has not literally happened, but I have seen my boyfriend pick up snow off his car with his bare hands, and have it melt in his palms before he can toss it on the ground. This man was 100% designed to survive an ice age.

Power of destruction

foxesinlove post Power of destruction from patreon

We've had this conversation plenty of times - this time over painting minifigures! We played a round at this game shop - I barely managed to paint my own ones in the nick of time, my boyfriend decided to go with an unpainted one instead of the half-painted one he couldn't do in time.

That time of the year again

foxesinlove post That time of the year again from patreon

I don't know if I've made a comic about this before, but all the same, every year I'm startled by just how loud they are.

Towel preferences

foxesinlove post Towel preferences from patreon

This incident actually happened at the cabin, in the sauna, but I figured that a regular bath would be easier to illustrate in a distinct, recognisable way.

Fun fact: piercings (at least facial piercings, and according to someone else's experiences, nipple piercings) start to burn you if you bathe in an electric sauna,...

Weight woes

foxesinlove post Weight woes from patreon

We have had this coversation quite often. The first time I saw him irl (we met on grindr, he did not have a picture of himself on his profile), I was astonished that he was the most beautiful human being I have ever seen. He still is.

Autumn leaves golden brown

foxesinlove post Autumn leaves golden brown from patreon

We did find one on the playground in front of our apartment building - I regret not taking a picture of it, now. It's so nice to see all the creative little crafts that the neighbourhood kids make, sand castles in the summer and snowmen in the winter.

Into the books

foxesinlove post Into the books from patreon

I've gotten into Warhammer books recently. I continue to be surprised just how good they are, I've read so much Proper Contemporary Literature that simply does not meet the same standards of quality.

Log hubris

foxesinlove post Log hubris from patreon

Based on a real incident - the work we needed to do at the cabin was help clear out some chopped-down trees, saving the logs for building material. Surprisingly enough neither of us was particularly sore the next day!

Somehow, the connection here does not want me to post these specifically on Patreon. All other platforms work just fine!

Heating and cooling

Yep, we're going back to the cabin for a week! Not solely because of the colder sleeping quarters, but that is certainly a bonus.

Hearing the call

foxesinlove post Hearing the call from patreon

Based on a real incident - we have now verified that while my boyfriend has a more keen hearing altogether, I'm better at picking out new, unusual individual sounds from the background noise in places like the city.

Hard reset to factory settings

foxesinlove post Hard reset to factory settings from patreon

I don't do visual gag special effects enough - and also nothing beats going from having a headache because your neck and shoulders are in knots, to having a headache because your brain isn't used to getting a blood flow in there.

Gentle, quiet mornings

foxesinlove post Gentle, quiet mornings from patreon

My family never put much priority on my comfort or happiness. I'm slow to wake up, and I grew up thinking that I hate mornings. My sister is the type of a person who is as wide awake as she'll be all day as soon as her eyes snap open, and when we were teenagers she used to wake me up on school days by tossing the dog at me (o...

Watching fruit dry

foxesinlove post Watching fruit dry from patreon

We did, in fact, get a food dehydrator! And he did a webcam stream of our first test apple slices drying to check on them while we were at a local market event. And for a mysterious reason, someone else really was watching it.

The only thing that didn't actually happen was me being puzzled about the whole thing - I wa...

Arts and crafts

foxesinlove post Arts and crafts from patreon

I am, indeed, making a book safe out of an old dictionary! I didn't take before- picures, but I started by coating the cover with fabric from one of my boyfriend's old t-shirts, which I then painted black, carved the pages out and I'm currently in the process of gluing the pages together! I also kept the pages that I cut out,...

Helping out

foxesinlove post Helping out from patreon

My boyfriend is not a natural leader. He is in fact the opposite. He doesn't want to lead or take charge, he wants to be given instructions and to follow orders. And yes, this one is based on a real incident.

Blanket sharing

foxesinlove post Blanket sharing from patreon

My boyfriend doesn't use a blanket during summer, he just has a sheet for cover. But now that it's getting colder, he keeps wiggling himself under my blanket to cling to me for warmth. This is the opposite of a problem.
