Episode 1
First encounter
lets gooooo revamp 2024!! the comic originally started in 2018-2019! To new-comers, this comic is gonna be revamped for a little and then return shortly to the scrunkly old artstyle, so enjoy the less edgy colors for now lol. Also: the new pages have a lot more EDGE, more DRAMA!!! (also yes i know there are grammar errors, please bear with me as im not native english and i do this for fun atm....but oplease do point out any mistakes so i can fix them!!!)
Episode 2
Duel
naw, whys that guy so mean to tate :( like what did he do besides being an annoying stalking creeper with no sense of boundaries?
(enjoy the longer updates while they last bcs i only did them in the beginning of the revamp, later we will return to 5 pages per update)
Episode 3
Going home
oh Tate's gonna get his a$$ beat (thats a promise)
one of my favs comments ever posted about the early updates was someone saying "thats kinda gay" and. instanly selfreplying with " wait, woman?"
Episode 4
Hectic morning
Tate has zero (0) braincells when it comes to social interactions and he cries like a running faucet </3
Episode 6
Blush
haha acting cringe irl to avert everyones attention and stop your homie from self-imploding
Episode 7
Bare truth
Arsons more of a physical person so getting rejected on that level "confirmed" her insecurities...plus she most def wouldnt let him close, she was just pushing boundaries and trying to scare him off while reassuring herself that he's lying. Tate was literally in a doomed if you do and doomed if you dont situation. Arson is currently in lots of emotional turmoil, so she's incredibly complex.
Episode 8
Lunch
aw damn, when you only like, a funky lil dude with funny eyes and the public decides to idolize you.... (also arson canonically understands concepts better with food analogies <3)
Episode 9
Rejection
more show n tell, less edgy dialogue! Arson starts feeling guilty and wants to leave to spare tate... meanwhile tate's resilience is easily explained by his own mothers avoidance behavior.
lil green mersil also belongs to @/ tinynekomancer on ig
Episode 10
Mom
hell yeah, now you guys can see partially why Tate is so pushy and doesnt accept a "go away" as a "no". Also tates mom is as much (if not even more) of a mess than he is, the apple dont fall far lol
Bit of a shorter update bcs the second part of this comes literally in an hour. Had to split these because otherwise the chapter count on the revamp wouldve been off on all my other comic websites.
Episode 11
Pops
Arson no :( ... (bugel from the future, all my readers gonna be like "oh sh!t" coming back to this revamp lol ) (<--this is regarding chapters 109-120)
Episode 12
Knife (trigger warning)
Aw hell na, when the stuff goes dark (arson cant see well in the dark whereas tate sees almost everything) (also, my color pallete skills have improved so much, im so proud)

A bit of a shorter update cus im moving! short hiatus coming up unfortunately, gonna post an update for it soon
Episode 15
Shampoo (slight nsfw)

Episode 16
Child (trigger warning)
aw hell na, not the childhood trauma (for further explanation, either go to my webtoon, tapas or Instagram) (just remeber the green man for later pages cus he's the catalyst for almost everything arson does)
Episode 17
Panic
dont treat real people like inhuman idols :( (shutout to all the peeps who provided me with some internet nasties (comments) to put in the bg lol, died reading them...honestly go ahead and continue the tate-hate in the comments here if u wanna #canceltateorlandow xoxo<3
Episode 19
Deep sleep
sleep sleep zzz
Terry is wingmanning her so hard rn, too bad she feels nothing but mild friendship for tate atm (she's still overreacting to the feelings bcs her last big friendship didnt... go.... so well....)
Tate canonically loves REALLY bad, beemovie-romance movies and tv shows...he THRIVES when the story is extra corny
Episode 20
This feeling
silly guy trips on drugs while he sleeps (experiencing intense emotions that're neither good nor bad in a meta plane)
Episode 21
Weekend
Yeah uhh maybe dont play video games without the safety strap (two idiots sharing one braincell)
Episode 22
Strained back
tate getting out the big guns to massage her lol also stalker spotted!!!! in the window!!
also have i mentioned here yet that Tate is canonically very much on the spectrum? little autism creature
Episode 23
Susan
arson is canonically very ugly, like most halfbloods lol, theyre just born far away from any beauty standards in this worlds society ( and Tate coincidentally has a very weird thing for hell cats)
Episode 24
Fitting rooms
ahaha mamaaaaa (the photo frames in terrys house show that he and arsons dad & guardian are forever frat boyz together)

Episode 26
Cuddle
haha p33p33 jokes and existential dread ( i will correct the grammar errors tomorrow, im too tired to function lol)
Episode 27
Fear
oop, give tate his emotional support nightmare cat back.
He has a very obsessive personality type bcs of how instantly panicked he becomes... this will be an issue later in the comic
Episode 28
Travis
Tate is so cringe lol. Travis is a fanboy confirmed✔️ gay? (insert raised eyebrow emoji)
Episode 29

Episode 32
Gratitude
Geez so much to being named arson 🙄 (its a selfdestruction episode triggered by resurfacing past problems that shes got herself into)
Episode 33
That feeling
Rip waffle, you will be missed. The embarrassment Arson could've saved herself if she just knew what a goddamn shower can do
Episode 36

Episode 40
New Roommate (1/2)

Episode 44
Terrifying
(ง︡'-'︠)ง consent is key babey and what arson is doing is absolutely disgusting
Episode 46
Warning
yeah, changed sammy from leech without a job to actual douchebag with a job lolololol also Tate might seem like he's weird, switching from conversation topic to another topic, but considering how his brain works, it makes sense (hes partially ignoring things he doesnt like hearing, thats why he seems kinda..? scatterbrained? he can tune out certain information, much like the background people.
Episode 48
Bodypaint

Party on

Episode 52
Favors
Dont blackmail and assault people :( thats never ok and cindy should get canceled on twitter for that
Episode 53
Two-faced
Tate and arson are actually two sides of a coin, both have a really bad side to their personality (cant wait to make tate go off the rockers in the new pages once the revamp is over ) _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_
Episode 54
Hunch
tate also has the same 'daydreams' with arson plastered all over, just like arson, but instead of crashing out abt them, he genuinely enjoys them lol
Episode 55
Honey
arson with her ear tips down looks like a bunny or puppy :) ALSO LAST OF THE REVAMP WERE GOING BACK TO TZHE OLD CRUSTY ARTSTYLE!!!!
Episode 56
Cooking
Remember, it’s important to talk things out with your family members BUT! That doesn’t mean you owe them any kind of talk... a blood bond means nothing if the people you’re related to have hurt you or neglected you deliberately! Thank you for coming to my tedtalk :) (Bugel past the revamp, were going back to the old crusty artstyle from 2021!)
Episode 57
Morning grump
i cant believe Tate is wearing sandals and socks.... shame on him :( .... also kith <3
Episode 60
Cold, dark place
This has no big importance in the current stiory but Arsons family life was basically: Mom and Pops worked as nurses in the hospital and had a one nighter, after which she accused him of assault when arson turned out to be a mersil-lookalike (she wanted a human-lkal bcs they were "in trend" making money). Sammys dad and the moms actual husband knew it couldnt be true since she would take arson in on the weekends and still talk to celiou but he couldnt leave his wife since she had their finances and son in a grip. the town however shunned celiou and thus he became a huge recluse, going from head nurse to an underground mortician. There is another character coming, who actually cared for arson from when she was little, but due to a natural disaster (the air quality in their town became almost toxic when a giant dead thing decomposed in their bay area) they had to shut arson in the basement for her first years. The guilt from holding her like an animal in the basement basically broke this one character that cared for her and made them be very laissez-faire with her, allowing her to wander around a dangerous environment without supervision and allowing her to mix with the wrong crowd....
Episode 61
Drink
Roger, my beloved <3 (man what a coincidence that Travis' significant other gets introduced at the beginning of june.... Happy pride month yall!)
Episode 62
Girl
Roger is a history nerd, confirmed..... also finally Arson gets to share her feelings a bit and poke Tates face just like in her dream haha
Episode 63
Present
Vroom Vroom the feelings go boom :) Finally Arson tries to come out of her comfort zone....(meanwhile Tate is super inexperienced with cars and bikes so he just bought the first thing that came up when he searched for "cool bike" and by mistake he auctioned a legendary bike that was produced before the great war. He's the equivalent of a granny trying to buy something cool for chrismas)
