*God Help the Outcasts plays quietly in the background*
Voting for this week will get you some minor world info and the results of last week's betting pool(???)

Okay I got a buncha stuff going on, let's see: First, if you missed it last week, I've started a patreon!

I'm probably gonna put out the official call for April's Q&A questions and Fat Animal requests this week, so don't forget to check it out! :D

Secondly, LOOK AT THIS RAD SHIRT YOU CAN NOW BUY?

This is Redbubble's new graphic tee, but the design is available on a lot of other stuff (scroll down and click "available products")!!! So, if you've ever wanted neon RW characters on your wall/laptop/torso, NOWS YOUR CHANCE????

OKAY COOL I THINK THATS EVERYTHING FOR NOW

Fascinating! I was wondering about how the religion was going to play into this! I didn't see any churches in Sev and Tarri's hometown (can't remember the name), and Tarri's mom made the only religious reference in that section that I saw. From Sev' "it's been awhile" I take it that the Artist doesn't play into his day-to-day life, although he does believe in the Artist. (Is the Artist male, female, or otherwise?) As I was saying, I think that the religion doesn't have as much sway in the outlying area as it does in the cities. Or maybe their town is a relatively secular spot.

Poor Æmber! She can barely pull off the dramatic flop inside her cube! And I have NO IDEA why I thought she was fourteen! Maybe Tarri is just small for her age...

It'll be obvious from pronouns in a couple pages, but people tend to think of the Artist as masculine, though most art of him is fairly androgynous.
(A lot of readers have questioned whether my characters literally worship me, and like, I WONT RULE IT OUT, but they'd have to have some serious misconceptions about me xD)

I do think Tareth looks pretty young for 17 (and 5'1" in highschool is definitely on the short side), so that actually might be part of it!

I just had an image of Sev looking up and seeing you hovering over the page with a pencil.

Is this an omnipotent god, or more limited? Is he the only god in that particular religion, or are there other gods that no one mentions? Do the traders worship the Artist? Are there other religions floating around? (You'll probably answer these questions in time, but I'm REALLY curious.) You have such great worldbuilding!

Aw man, thank you so much!! *u*

I can give ya some quick answers!
-The Church of the Artist is a monotheistic religion, so yup, just the Artist!
-Traders can obviously worship whatever they want (Note Iavin, who is racially Trader but doesn't cover his hair and is pretty vocally Artisan) but very few have converted to the Church of the Artist.
-There are other religions!
Also,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING MY VISION TO REALITY. THIS IS SO FANTASTIC.

Also, thanks for answering my questions. I didn't intend to paint the traders as one homogenous group. I was curious about the general population, folks like Xira who identify more strongly with their general group than someone like Iavin. I know you probably didn't interpret it that way, but I just want to make sure I'm not misinterpreted.
