@chibiwriter says: Happy 4th Ashiversary! You know, I always loved the original image @surfacage did of the twins. It looks like a cover for a comic, you know? I thought one day she’d do a companion piece with Spark and Candela as sort of a “back cover”, and while that day may yet still come, I decided to try my hand at designing the “full cover”. I also made solo, duo, and team-spirit versions of everyone for phone backgrounds, too, so look forward to those! On a mushy, feelsy note: Thank you so, so much surfi for all the time and effort you put into ATWWTTA. Even though we haven’t had much for canon content this year - which, yanno, burnout is a thing as is the GLOBAL PANDEMIC we’ve had to deal with - we just want you to know that what you’ve created is truly special. Even if you never find it in yourself to return to updating the comic, the community that has formed around your work truly appreciates the world and characters you’ve given us. This year, the 4th annual celebration of And The World Will Turn To Ash, is known as The Year of the AUs because even a lack of canon updates can’t stop the overwhelmingly inspirational creativity of this fandom. Let the celebration begin!
Happy @ashiversary!!!! Me and @fluffypythons decided to do some cosplay shenanigans in order to celebrate!
Thank you @surfacage for creating such an amazing world and for creating a character that I relate wayyyy too much to! Can’t wait for what you have in store!

A fanart picture story of @surfacage‘s And The World Will Turn To Ash For the @ashiversary aka the first anniversary celebration of Ash made by fans to thank Surfi for giving us the wonderful story and characters!
The picture story got a bit out of hand and I was also writing a long fic turned out slightly longer than expected so it’s only the first episode out of (??) and the following ones will be updated in the next couple of weeks as I finish them.
Chapter 27 is up now! Long time, no update, huh? I hope the wait was worth it! This is a gift for a dear friend, @bipercy, who requested Twinstinct AU shenanigans for her birthday a while back and the prompt kind of, uh, got out of hand from there.... Which, yanno, we should all just come to accept as part of who I am as a person. I hope you like it, love!
One year ago I posted this comic aka the Trust Your Instincts short. I had no idea it would go the way it did, or that it would basically change my life, or that Noire would end up being a little shit, etc.
It’s been an incredible year! To old fans, to new ones, to the crowd who likes my shitposting and comics alike, to the people who send me stuff they made based off my work, thanks for sticking with me! I try to get back to everyone but I just get days late...sorry!
I got surprised by a whole bunch of people making up Ashiversary on tumblr, thank you! I cried in a very uncool fashion.
I hope to make your days a bit brighter for a good while! Cheers!
Alright! Here are the images I created for the Ashiversary event! The images were submitted separately to the event blog, so I thought I would create a post that had all of them together.
Congratulations to surficage on the one year anniversary of your AU!
For anyone that hasn’t heard of the comic, it’s great and you should check it out! Here’s a link to the main comic page.
This year I couldn’t help but draw the Ash cast as a DnD party!
Meet…
Candela, Fiery Paladin of Valor from the Opal Kingdom
Spark, simple Farmer with an electrifying pact with a Great Old One
Blanche, Studious Wizard of the Mystic Academy
Noire, ex-rogue made Warlock by a capricious and cruel Archfey
Amelie, Rogue and expert cat-burglar with countless bounties
Carl, Noble scion and revered Paladin of Valor, cursed by the Blood
Dave, Royal Hippogriff with a penchant for murder
Go, Shopkeep-turned-adventurer with only Wits, Lute and a Farmer
Annie, Cleric of Unknown faith, saves her spells for Blanche and Go
And yes I rolled all their stats lmao
Thank you Surfi for all your art and this wild AU of Ash that I’m sure is gonna only break our hearts, rustle our jimmies and drown us in feels even more as the story continue.
Thank you for all the work you put into it and the time you take to chat and share your work with us.
The Ashiversary has also another less.. safe for work celebration.
If you’re into that kind of thing do check it out, there’s great stuff there (I just don’t want to reblab NSFW stuff here).
