Cucumber Quest - Blog Posts
It's a bit late, but here's the continuation from last year!
If it is too big to read on tumblr go here
This is my final for color design last semester. We had the option of using a specific artist's use of color, and I chose @gigidigi , especially her work with Cucumber Quest. She my favorite comic creator, so I thought, 'what would be better than a comic?' I used two of her techniques: simultaneous contrast based on emotion, and character motifs. I wanted to further challenge myself by having a rainbow gradient and no dialogue. As a result, the story and art are very simple.
(Go here for a less compressed version)
These past five years have been a huge journey for me, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I will be updating this every year.
If tumblr’s resizing makes this unreadable, go here for the full version.

Cucumber Quest fan art! Here is one of my favorite characters ( This is the last one for a while.) Cucumber Quest is an amazing web comic, and everyone should read it. I love seeing representation of LGBT+ characters in media, especially when it's for all ages.

HEAVILY inspired by this scene in Cucumber Quest. Originally, I was going to do the actual quote, but figured it didn't make sense, so I changed it while keeping the inspiration present

A non-exhaustive list of the things I may ramble on about if I ever decide to post, brought to you in no particular order (long post lol). Aka, My Fandoms™:
soc: Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. Also a fan of the King of Scars duology but not as much Shadow and Bone trilogy. This is where the 🐦⬛ comes from in my blog title.
marvel (loki): not specifically the Loki series, just Loki in general as my fav character (2011-2013!Loki remains superior). Also a big fan of Wanda and Spiderverse, and Marvel in general.
tqt: The Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. A bit more niche, the fandom is small but dedicated. My favorite book is the first. Gen is one of my all-time favorite fictional characters, my name on here is the feminine version of Eugenides.
Bway (hadestown,bjtm,etc): Broadway shows, specifically Hadestown and Beetlejuice the Musical as my favorites. Also a Hamilton fan and some other musicals, but I'm less ~obsessed~ with them as I am the first two.
slytherin: my Hogwarts house 🐍 Absolutely screw JK Rowling but the world she created is very comforting and it was my first ever favorite book. I love the Slytherin vibes.
atla: Avatar the Last Airbender, also Legend of Korra. Not a main obsession but such a good show tbh and I love the world building.
cq: Cucumber Quest by Gigi DG. An even smaller fandom than tqt if it were possible. But I recently reread and I'm entering my cq ~era~ again. An amazing webcomic (currently incomplete/on indefinite hiatus but) check it out. Please.
gomens: Good Omens, specifically the show tho I've read the book. Also, insert obligatory screw Neil Gaiman. I'll fight people for the #1 Aziracrow Shipper title. Or at least politely ask to share it.
toh: The Owl House. Love Eda. Discovered this very recently after people kept telling me to watch it (ig I just give off that vibe~). I admit I have not watched the season 3 finale bc I'm saving it to watch with a friend.
nimona: Nimona, the movie (on Netflix). I just love Nimona, does it really need an explanation. I've watched it like 4 times and I don't even have Netflix I just keep watching it any time I go somewhere that does. Please watch if you haven't.
Additionally: I love the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland (haven't watched the second). Also my pfp is Elsie from Fangs by Sarah Anderson. I occasionally hyperfixate on Grace Yurchuk's wip Caesar musical. Fav Disney movies are Encanto and Zootopia.
Anyways that's all I can think of for now, probably way more than anyone even cared to know anyway! Send me a message or ask about literally any of this stuff and I would LOVE to ramble on, maybe make a friend.

yeah its them
I’d write sumn like “Dreamside” and the spell check would go “Excuse me, excuse- do you mean dream side?”
Then I’d lock gazes with it and say “no.” and it’ll instantly shuffle back and start to learn the word ‘Dreamside’ because I am the writer and I am God here.
The ‘add to dictionary’ button on MS word is such a power move like I don’t care if it’s a real word or not, you stupid little software, you will learn the word Quinjet and that’s that on that
SWHSIWHUSHKWHSNSMW<NSKWJN THANK YOU (https://archiveofourown.org/works/17761097) this is the fic btw, please read it i spent a whole year on it

WHY was I CALLED OUT in SUCH A MANNER, I-
Oh, by the way, for context;
This is NK
People writing about any sort of nonhuman character
“Average resident of dreamside has 1 braincell" factoid actualy just statistical error. The average resident of dreamside actually has 0 braincells. Cucumber, who has a typical amount of brain cells, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
I’ve rose from the dead just to tell you to read this webcomic
http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/ bunny people go on adventures and things aren’t as they seem
honestly if it was enough to inspire me to write a 136k word fic about the villain and basically started my whole writing shibang then you know it’s worth it
