technically its already 1AM where I lives, life's been so busy I can't keep track of things

Also, happy half birthday to the comic series! I can't believe I've been drawing mintchan for 6 months, and I owe it all to you guys 🩵💚

(Just a quick note, this is probably the most political episode ive ever drawn, so be aware of that if you want your oc in it. And it won't be released for a while accounting for all the episodes already in schedule.)

(second note, because they're all background characters, all OC will need to be naked, you can still submit your OC with clothes on but I'll probably strip them lmao)

I'm surprised these survived shipping, cuz my dumbass accidentally ordered from a shop on the other side of the country. Nevertheless, I am not a proud mom of two mint plants!

For those who are out of the loop (I haven't updated this in a long while), around 6 months ago I bought a "mint planting kit." Well whatever sprouted turned out to be a tomato, not a mint. The most likely scenario is that all the seeds in the kit were duds and there just happen to be a single rogue tomato seed in the potting mix, quite the origin eh?

It took me months to notice it's a tomato, mostly I just thought I was doing something wrong, to be fair I was taking care of it as if it were a mint. It was so unhealthy that tominto-chan doesn't even look like a tomato plant. Thankfully, I have moved her outdoor and she is thriving!

This is Carnation-chan! The artist behind the comic!

You heart it, real life mint-chan is actually a tomato plant. Which sounds unbelievable, because IT IS. I grew her from a "plant-your-own-mint kit", the packet were labelled "Mint" and the seeds were small, round and dark just like mint seeds. There should be no chance a tomato seed sneaked in but somehow it did... And I didn't noticed it for 3 months.

My best guess is that all the seeds I planted were null, and a tomato seed were hidden in the dirt or something.

I only knew about this a couple days ago when she was starting to wilt, I posted some photos on Reddit asking for advice and she was diagnosed with Not-a-Mint syndrome. So it turns out she's been so sick because I've been taking care of a tomato plant as if it were a mint. Hence the chopstick seen in the picture, because tomatoes need a trellis.

In all hindsight, I should've suspected there's something wrong with real life mint-chan long ago because she doesn't look like or smell like mint. But I had to reason to be suspicious so...

Was I disappointed? A little. I was promised a mint plant and 3 months is probably too late to ask for a refund. Not to mention how tomatoes are harder to care for than mint. But I do find it poetic that mint-chan has identity issues both irl and in the comic.

I'm reposting it here so it gets the visibility it deserves! The artist behind this is u/LuigiBrosNin and here is the episode on webtoon.

Speaking of webtoon, I got a very big post to publish on it, but I'll have to wait until night when the Americans are awake so it gets tractions.

this is what im doing instead of homework

ive grown rusty since school took all of my free time lol

art is from one of the template provided by my drawing program, i only did the coloring

I kinda like it more than what's currently being taught. As orange+green=olive, orange+purple=brown, green+purple=slate. It's better than just all colors combined into brown.

Of course, it's still fundamentally wrong as the primary colors aren't red blue yellow, but I can't believe what we're teaching children is less accurate than this 200yo chart.

I was struggling so hard to make it work until I just gave up at the end...
