Before We Start…
Media here is as simple as can be, it's literally just one webcomic, which can be read for free right here. I’ll also be looking into bonus arts by the author/artist for any bonus supportive information.
Background
A long time ago, there was a great war between Wilder and Shades, the two primary species that occupied the multiverse. This war was long, brutal, and it seemed like it would be the death of everyone involved. In the final hours of the war, the empress of the shades tried everything to end the conflict, wanting a better future for her people, and specifically her two daughters, the first hybrids of Wilder and Shades. Despite her resolve for peace her palace was breached by invaders, and it seemed like the end of her kingdom had come at last. Then suddenly, the great partition happened. All the portals to traverse the multiverse instantly closed, and the fighting stopped. With all the multiverse cut off from each other, the longest war to ever exist had suddenly been forced to end. However, the pain wasn’t over, the empress realized that she had suffered a devastating loss. One of her daughters was killed in the last moments of the fighting, the other fled to a far away world that they were now stuck in. Broken beyond repair, the Empress turned to prayer. She prayed to God every day and every moment that her last daughter would be safe. After enough time, God in fact did answer, she promised her daughter would forever be safe, and that her kingdom would flourish, but now it was time for the empress to finally rest. She passed away that night, and God's promise to protect the lost princess became a legend for all of the Shades. One day she would again be found.
Almost 17 centuries later, a new story began, there was a young girl living in the Wilderen city of Skyport. She had a rough life, despite being the daughter of the president, she was often neglected by her father and bullied by the general populace. This girl was strange, she wasn’t like the other wildren, and she had a magical power like no other, a dangerous crown she could form called a halo. People feared the power she had, which isolated the girl and made her feel like a disgrace. Still the days went by despite her struggles, until one day her father suddenly took her somewhere. It was an old portal to the multiverse. Before she could question anything, she was shoved through and stranded in a new world. A run down urban district known as market square. She panicked and cried, not knowing what to do, but she wasn’t alone for long. A boy named Leo found her and brought her to his home. There she met Louis, the owner of an Onion restaurant. They decided to let the girl stay, and over time she recovered, finding herself a new identity with the support of this community. Her old self was gone, now she went by the name of her long passed mother, Fenic.
Fenic was an interesting character to say the least. She was bold, reckless, extremely gay and terrible at hiding it. But she had a heart like no other. Seeing market square accept her so openly, she wanted to return the favor. Fenic is extremely friendly and helpful, always putting others before herself. She loves to befriend people, and I mean loves too. Even people who hurt her she never gives up on, she always tries to help and change people for the better. Even in this world Fenic still stood out due to her appearance. Unlike most Wilder she had no animal parts, and a strange birthmark to boot. Fenic still had her halo, which none of the local Wilder had ever seen before. Fenic gradually started to practice mastering her powers in order to use them for good. Eventually she became known as the “angel of market square” for her efforts in helping people, a far cry from her old life.
Everything seemed to be going perfectly, but Fenic wasn’t fine. She still struggled with her past trauma and abandonment issues. Behind her constant optimism she was still scared, scared of being powerless when her friends needed her, scared everything she's worked for would just be for nothing. One day though, something strange happened to her life. Fenic heard of a strange person looking for her. Upon finding them, they surprised Fenic by their enthusiasm, believing that Fenic was her Mom. They introduced themselves as Enae, a knight of the Shades on a quest to find the lost princess. After realizing Fenic is not her, she tells Fenic that she must be her daughter, a surprise to Fenic since she never knew anything about her mom. After explaining the lost princess’s legend, Enae tells Fenic that she’s in danger. The Shades current emperor Tahmonai is after her and won’t stop until she’s captured. Enae tries to take Fenic to another world, but she refuses. Fenic is not leaving her friends behind anymore, and in the struggle against Enae, Fenic activates her halo. Fenic tries to scare Enae off, but Enae doesn’t back down, and starts to fight. Enae believes her halo to be dangerous, and that death would be a mercy from it. Despite her pacifism, Fenic manages to hold her own, tiring Enae out and trying to end the fight in mercy. But Enae still won’t give up, and sneak attacks Fenic with her knife while her guard is down. Fenic should've died there, but the attack was stopped. Suddenly an avatar of God appeared in her defense, injuring Enae in retaliation. Fenic panics, standing in the way of the avatar to protect Enae, which causes it to apologize and leave. Enae then comes to a realization, but believes its best Fenic doesn’t know. She apologizes for her actions and leaves, asking Fenic to stay safe. Fenic collapses and is once again alone, she wakes up back home, not knowing what to do. However Fenic finds a portal key that Enae had dropped, and realizes she has a new journey to take. Now Fenic and her friends are going on a trip to a new universe, trying to find answers. Too bad her first time teleporting accidentally stranded everyone in an unknown universe, but hey hopefully they’ll survive.
Experience & Skill
Despite her highly pacifistic nature, Fenic has a long history with conflict. As a kid in Skyport she got into a lot of fights against bullies. She also says people have came at her with knives before. Though according to Fenic, she’s never actually been in a real fight before. This is kinda true, because Fenic often just uses her powers to scare people away. We’ve seen her scare entire crowds of Skyporters with her halo, and at the beginning of the series Fenic easily deals with a group of bullies. However despite what she says Fenic appears to be really skilled at fighting. She was able to duel Enae in battle very evenly, even tiring and shocking her. This is crazy impressive considering who Enae is. Enae is the captain of the celestial knights, the strongest and most skilled order of all the Shades who were the ones to fight an ancient war against all of the Wilder for centuries. Enae has also been directly raised by the Emperor Tahmonai, who is 12³+24 years old as well as being extremely skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable on basically everything. Tahmonai is even genuinely shocked that Enae could lose a fight like this, saying that no normal Wilder with a peashooter could ever mess her up.
Now besides fighting, Fenic is good at plenty of other things. She’s surprisingly decent at cooking, even impressing experienced cook Louis. But perhaps her most important skill is her ability to befriend almost anyone. Fenic is a performer willing to put on acts in order to get close to people, even if it hurts herself. Louis even calls her a girl with an immense amount of restraint.
Equipment
Scarf
The only item Fenic inherited from her mom. Fenic’s scarf is extremely important to her, and she always wears it in some way. It is almost comically long at times, and even breaks the comic panels at a few points?
“Girl Pills”
If you know you know.
Backpack
For your portable storage needs.
“Slugger”
Fenic wields a strange hybrid between a baseball bat and a sword, which is literally the coolest thing ever. It is surprisingly sturdy and reliable, being able to reflect numerous powerful attacks from Enae.
Laptop
This bonus art implies Fenic might own a laptop. Leo also has his own laptop here which backs this up.
Portal Key
A portal key Fenic “Borrowed” (Stole) from Enae after their big fight. Portal keys are special stones used to activate portals (How surprising). The unique stone is the determiner for where the portal takes you. Unfortunately for Fenic she did not know this and thought the portal went to Skyport, which led to her accidentally getting stranded in another world (oops).
Abilities
Hybrid Physiology
Compared to most other characters, Fenic’s physiology is unique because she is a hybrid between a Wilder and a Shade, the two primary species in the Goodbye to Halos verse. Wilder are a solid earthly species often part animal, though Fenic notably lacks any usual wilder tail or animal ears, which makes her stand out a lot. Her Shade side is far more interesting. Shades are an ethereal and magical species, each having a signature birthmark, called a Maave, that distinguishes them from all other shades. No two Maaves are ever alike, except for Fenic’s, who mysteriously has the exact same Maave as her Mom, something that Enae directly says shouldn’t be possible, but more on this later.
Bluffing
Pankinesis
Fenic’s signature magical “gift” is called Pankineis, which is literally just telekinesis with a fancy name. It allows Fenic to manipulate objects from any distance without touching them. Fenic’s powers are temperamental, and often hard for her to control. On the lower ends of Fenic’s emotions there’s still a physical element to how she does this, as we see her need to use her hands and focus in order to manipulate objects (More on the higher ends in the forms section). With these powers Fenic can do a surprising amount, we’ve seen her drop trash cans on people, launch herself through the air, “fly” by lifting the ground beneath her and throwing rocks, or just actually hover and glide in the air on her own.
Air manipulation
Technically an extent of her normal ability, but while unconscious Fenic saved her own and her friends' lives by manipulating the oxygen bubbles around them so they could breathe.
Reincarnation (Kinda)
As you may have guessed about a person whose name is short for Phoenix. Fenic is not actually her mom’s child in the traditional sense, She is her mom reincarnated as an entirely new person. There is a lot of evidence for this, besides the name, Ashyer says that Fenic’s mom doesn’t exist anymore, which Enae reveals to be a lie using her magical powers to literally detect lies. When Ashyer is asked to bring them the lost princess, he immediately evacuates and strands our Fenic in another world. Almost like they are the same person or something. This action was what Ashyer believes the lost princess would’ve wanted. Asher then tells Taimonai that the princess doesn’t exist anymore specifically in a way that would be useful to them. Then he says that the princess didn’t want her past to haunt her, so she started over. With this in mind, it's made very clear what happened. Tired of living, the princess reincarnated herself into the current Fenic, as a sort of loophole to their immortality which I'll talk about in a sec. Then they asked their good friend Ashyer to raise and protect Fenic, leading to the story we know now happening. Now what does this mean for Fenic overall? Not that much, since reincarnating in a fight doesn’t really help you at all, and Fenic doesn't know about this anyways. But it does explain Fenic’s similar physiology to the lost princess, and allows us to understand the next ability.
Immortality
Ok so there is a lot to unpack here. Remember how Fenic is basically her mom reincarnated, same powers and all. Well Fenic also inherited her blessing from God herself. Yes, THE god. After the lost princess was well… lost, Her Mother, the old Empress, prayed every day for her safety, even at the cost of her own health. Eventually God did answer her prayers, and gave the Empress this promise:
Now is this promise of immortality legit?, well yeah actually. To start, the second promise God made here about the Empress’s successor very much came true, since Tahmoni was made immortal and reigned for 17 centuries at this point. But as for Fenic herself, we are told constantly that the princess is immortal and has eternal life. We see that in Skyport the lost princess’s immortality was genuinely true, since Ashyer, one of the closest friends of the princess, said he was lucky to have known her for his entire life, even if it was just a fraction of hers.
This immortality isn’t just an age thing, Fenic literally cannot die by any means due to God's promise. We see this directly when Enae is just flat out stopped by an avatar of God herself when she’s about to slash Fenic with her knife. This Godeye says itself that it won’t let Enae do that, and it's referred to as "protection from beyond the door.” What’s important to mention though, is that it's strongly implied Fenic can’t even end her own life due to this immortality. This is the primary reason the lost princess reincarnated into Fenic in the first place, she was tired of living and wanted to start over.
Avatar summoning
A side effect of Fenic’s immortality is that she technically can just summon an avatar of God whenever she’s in danger. What’s important about this is that Fenic actually has control over God’s actions. Enae describe’s Fenic as being the only one who can sway God's heart, and when Fenic tries to stop God from killing Enae, she immediately listened and apologized.
God’s Abilities
Well Since Fenic is protected by and can summon God to help her, it's important to mention what this God can do exactly, so here’s an ability run down:
Wish Granting: God is widely known for granting people’s prayers and wishes. This is what the old emperor of the Shades did in order to secure her daughters protection and immortality. As mentioned before God granted this wish fully.
Teleportation: God just teleports her avatar out of nowhere in order to save Fenic. She also vanishes immediately here.
Size manipulation: God also shows the ability to change its size clearly between panels.
Telekinesis: God uses her own form of telekinesis to grab and lift Enaes knife into the air with a bubble.
Explosion Manipulation: God causes Enaes' knife to suddenly explode violently.
Reality Warping: Upon arriving God causes the world to warp into a dark abyss with strange rainbows in it.
Resurrection: God is capable of bringing people back from the dead, we know this because Tahmonai’s motivation is trying to ask God to revive her friend Selin. Selin is also implied to still be alive in some way which backs this up a bit.
Portal Creation: God is responsible for shutting down all of the portals throughout the multiverse, implying they were the ones who made them in the first place. There is also a door that God made for the royal family to have access to her.
Omniscience (debatable): Enae describes god as being all seeing. This one is kinda dubious however, since God seemed surprised when Fenic stood against them, though they also had knowledge of whenever Fenic’s life was in danger so, it's possible their omniscience just isn't passive.
Immortality: Enae also says God is Immortal and likely has existed since forever.
Greater Creation: While not directly stated it's pretty clear God created everything in Goodbye to Halos. They existed before it all, the shades worship God and made a Tower of Babel to be close to her, God is considered the ultimate being of power in every world, being capable of literally anything, plus God also showing reality warping and control over the portals backs up her ability to fully effect the verse.
Forms
Halo
When her heart is in great pain, Fenic will gain a magical and radiant crown known as a halo. In this state her power is said to become endless and unlimited, and her magic runs wild. Though Fenic really dislikes using this and would rather just befriend people. We see first hand how powerful Fenic’s halo is directly, as it shines so brightly Enae mistakes it for the actual sun. Fenic then proceeds to passively lift an entire chuck on a highway into the air with her telekinesis. A major step up from how she’s used her powers previously. Her Halo can even activate in times of danger passivity to protect her, like when it prevented Fenic and her friends from drowning, even though Fenic was not conscious while doing this.
Though, there is more context as to what Halos actually are based on other Shades. According to Mona, a halo is a disaster in the heart, a mistake, and a crown for fools. Enae describes a halo as being the faith of the faithless soul, the one turning to zero, and the savage monstrous pain in one's heart. What makes a halo so dangerous is that it turns the user into a Goner, a monster who, according to Enae, has lost themselves completely in their pain and emotions. Because Halos are believed to be incurable by Shades, Enae attempts to kill Fenic after she gets hers as an act of mercy. Fenic however, has showcased several times to be able to stop her halo instead of becoming a Goner. This surprises Enae, who realizes it's likely due to God's protection.

Scaling
Other Wilder
It’s been made very clear that Fenic with her halo is massively more powerful than any Wilder, so she’d reasonably scale to all of their feats.
- Louis chops onions so fast his arms become a blur
- Jess throws a rock at Fenic window
- Clarrisa can swing herself around a massive rock at high speeds (13.54 m/s)
- Ashyer survives being restrained by Tamonais canvas technique
- Xiaolei parkour stomps a Archeostrich
- Xiaolei throws a flower super far into the sky (Mach 0.19)
- Leo jumped off and tree and stomped the ground
Other Shades
Fenic being able to go toe to toe with Enae, one of the strongest and most capable Shades, means she’d likely scale to the entire Shade species as well. The exception to this would be Tahmonai, since they are likely a bit stronger than Enae, however them training Enae could imply downscaling, plus all of their current feats are very casual, with the Wilder Ashyer and young Enae surviving them, meaning Fenic scaling to those is fine.
- Enae survives the shrapnel of her knife exploding, though she is heavily injured
- A Random Shade shoots a fireball
- Tahmonai destroys a large part of the floor (0.29 Tons of Tnt)
- Tahmonai lifted Ashyer pretty high in the air
- Selin says that she is a symbol capable of moving the earth (Debatable, see important notes)
Other Halos
Scaling Fenic to another halo might seem odd at first, but it actually does make sense. Enae describes halos as being something all Shades can feel and understand, implying that they can all be comparable in power somewhat. Also, it is a knight's sworn duty to fight and kill Goners, Enae has been specifically trained to defeat halo users and is implied to be capable of it. Tahmonai also defeats a Goner in a flashback, and she raised Enae herself. This leads to a reasonable chain scale of Goners to Fenic via Enae being able to fight them both.
- A Goner completely destroyed Enae’s home village (185.69 Kilotons of TnT)
- “Feve” is responsible for raising the city of Sparrowden into the sky using a halo (105.04 tons of TnT, See important notes)
Actual God (Debatable)
Ok lets start with the obvious, no Fenic or anyone else does not scale to God lol. But since Fenic is tied to God and can summon them it is important to mention their feats.
- Causes Enae’s knife to suddenly explode violently (0.00009 Tons of Tnt)
- Their arrival appears to have warped the entire sky and ground around them
- Vanished in an instant, returning the world to normal
- The portals throughout the entire multiverse were sealed shut by God herself, showing they have influence over the entire multiverse
- Enae describes god as being the ultimate being of power in this and all worlds, god is all powerful, all seeing, and presumably was gonna say they existed forever if they weren't interrupted.
- Due to all of this they should scale to the entire cosmology (Multiversal, See Important notes)
Weaknesses
Fenic may be awesome but she’s far from perfect. Her greatest weakness is her anger and self doubt (Relatable), which has caused her to seriously underestimate herself as well as have panic attacks regularly. There’s also the fact she finds her powers hard to control due to them being reliant on her emotions, and when she gets her halo it's made clear she's very unwillingly destructive and threatening to those around her. Her obsession with non-violence can also be used against her like when Enae took her by surprise and almost ended her life. Also she's apparently weak to Flamin’ Onion Cheez-Palz.
Important Notes
The Cosmology
Goodbye to Halos has a cosmology? Well that shouldn’t be too surprising considering the tagline literally says “An adventure across the queer multiverse.” And no the title doesn’t lie, the multiverse is mentioned numerous times in the story and matters very greatly to the overall lore. To start, there are said to be hundreds of worlds inhabited by the Wilder species, while the Shade species only inhabits one world. Though later on, Enae says that she and the other knights were actually sent across a thousand worlds in search of the princess. All of these worlds are normally completely separate, but are connected by special doors called portals. The sizes of these worlds is hard to gauge, but the term multiverse implies that they have to be universes, and we clearly see the Shade world has stars and celestial objects, as well as the Wilder’s worlds having a planet and a sun, so universe level sizes are likely accurate. Most of these worlds appear to be very unique in their make up. Mona even says that not all of them have suns that rise, or even the concept of days, such as the Shades world. Clarrisas world called “The Drift” also appears to not have gravity in the traditional sense, being a strange void. Also there is a chance that our world (yes us) actually exists in the verse. Mona travels to a ancient undisturbed place called the night pole and finds a story there suspiciously similar to Odysseus. Also Jess somehow has a pin labeled “Cool Mom”, which is specifically pointed out as being weird because nobody in Goodbye to Halos speaks english. Perhaps it's an ancient artifact of some kind? None of this is confirmed obviously but I thought it'd be fun to bring up.
It should be noted that it's also stated there is a heaven in the world, seemingly connected to the main multiverse via a door in the tower of Babel. Given we’ve literally seen God in person it's not far out of the question that this is a realm a part of the cosmology. Though without further explanation it's impossible to quantify.
Now to summarize the multiverse of Goodbye to Halos is made up of one Shade universe, at least a thousand Wilder universes, and potentially some extra realms. This makes it a solid Multiversal cosmology.
Now the important question is, does anyone scale to this? Well the God of the verse should scale relatively easily. If you remember before they are considered to be all powerful in all worlds, and have existed before everything, being the implied creator of it all who can do anything. They've also notably have affected the entire multiverse with their powers when they shut down all of the portals, which shows they have control over all these worlds at once.
“Fe’ve’s” Crown
I put this feat in the other halos section because I didn't know where else to put it. But there is a context to it that technically doesn’t even make it a feat to be scaled to, just a feat of Fenic’s own. For context, Fenic encounters Sparrowden, a city being magically lifted into the air by a halo surrounding the city. According to Xiaolei, the Halo is what they call Fe’ve’s Crown, and long ago said person magically lifted the city into the sky in order to protect it. Also, upon encountering this city, Fenic mysteriously can’t use her magic anymore. If you can’t put it together, Fe’ve is just another name for Fenic’s mom (whom we know has traveled to Wilder worlds before), and long ago she lifted the city herself on her travels. Not only does this explain why the city is conveniently being lifted by Fenic’s exact powers, which may I remind you are supposed to be unique between all Shades. It also explains why Fenic can’t use her powers while being near the city, it's probably a side effect of being near the source of her own halo. Now what does this mean exactly for scaling? It means that Fenic’s halo should be capable of this same level of power, giving her a multi-city block level feat, technically way less powerful than a few other feats lol. Unfortunately the feat is a lot less impressive than it looks since the tree's hollowness is taken into account, but it's still good to have.
Planet level statement?
A funny “feat” to bring up is Selin telling her sister (who is Fenic’s mom may I remind you), that she can become a symbol capable of moving the earth. Taking this absolutely literally would be a planet level feat, but it has obvious problems. For one, it's likely just hyperbole that Selin is using to hype herself up, the context of this scene is that Fenik is feeling down and powerless and tells Selin that she’s powerless too, so Selin is trying to remind her of how important and capable she truly is. There’s also a few other things that make this awkward, like we don't even know Selin’s powers and how she could move the Earth. Also Selin doesn’t even live on the Earth in the first place lol, so this feat is just really hard to justify.
Overall
- Attack potency ranges from Building to City level both physically and with her halo
- Consistently Superhuman to even Hypersonic plus speed wise
- Surprisingly skilled in combat despite her hesitation to fighting
- Very good at bluffing and improvising even in bad situations
- Has very useful telekinetic powers that can be used in a variety of creative ways, only getting more powerful when her halo activates
- Her immortality is actually broken and makes her unkillable if not untouchable by the literal God of the verse
- Said God can send avatars to defend and assist Fenic, with Fenic being able to influence them, God also scales to the full Multiversal cosmology herself
Preferred Opponent
Steven Universe
Oh boy time to shill the matchup I made
Connections:
- Both are hybrids between a grounded earthly species and an alien like magical species (Steven is half Diamond and Half human while Fenic is half Shade and Half Wilder)
- They are both descendants of the royal line of their magical species, which makes them far more unique and special compared to the average person of both species (Steven descends from the diamonds while Fenic descends from the Shade royalty)
- Both of them had moms that were once a primary member of their royalty. But eventually fled their worlds for mysterious reason, arriving in the world of another species (Pink diamond fled to Earth while Princess Fenic fled to the world of skyport)
- Their parents became very acquainted in this new world, making close connections with many people there
- Both of them weren’t born normally, but rather were born via their moms reincarnating in order to give them life, despite this they are very much different people from their mothers.
- Before they both were born, both their mothers made one of the members of the grounded earthly species promise to take care of and raise them (Greg and Ashyer)
- Both of them have inherited a primary physical feature from their mothers, which is the primary source of their powers (Stevens Gemstone and Fenic’s Maave)
- They both have extremely unique powers unlike anyone else, that they start out barely knowing how to use but gradually get more acquainted with (Stevens gem powers and Fenic’s Pankinessis)
- Both of these powers are actually tied to their emotions, however if there emotions overwhelm them they can enter an extremely powerful and uncontrollable form that is highly dangerous (Stevens Monster form and Fenic’s Halo)
- Both of them are very kind and selfless individuals that love to make friends, and they are also pacifists that hate fighting.
- However, if their friends are genuinely at stake they are more than willing to fight to defend them, and they are surprisingly skilled in actual combat, besting even trained warriors
- They both mainly live in a very friendly and diverse community, where they are quite well know and friends with almost everybody there
- Both of them have been tracked down by warriors from of their respective magical species, who didn’t intend to find them in their worlds but shifted gears after stumbling into them (Jasper and Enae). These warriors would also try to force both of them to fight despite their opposition.
- Meta connection but both of their series’s are very queer and diverse which is based
Contrasts:
- While Steven had a very kind and caring father, Fenic’s father was very distant and ended up abandoning her.
- Steven Universe is a finished series while Goodbye to Halos has been on a break/Hiatus/maybe being rebooted thing for like two years (God I am so sad about this)
Honestly after making this MU I kinda had a revelation that not only was this Fenic’s best easily, it probably also was my favorite for Steven Universe too. It genuinely covers his story perfectly. The Mom reincarnation connection is stupidly specific lol. You also have their pacifism highlighted, their obsession with befriending everyone, how their powers specifically work, and best of all good old fashioned trauma.
The dynamic is also really good too. In general their defensive fighting styles mesh pretty well, Fenic’s bat and telekinesis can play off Steven’s various shields and constructs. There’s also the fact Steven’s pink form matches Fenic’s halo very well both scale and progression wise. In general the fact both get more powerful the more they lose themselves in their emotions leads to an interesting scale progression. This is honestly the only Steven MU where it makes sense to use his kaiju form, and you could have Fenic match it by summoning her Godeye to defend her. Which is just so much more raw than what you'd usually expect from these two.
Also the debate is stupidly funny because Steven godstomps in stats but then gets completely shut down by Fenic’s immortality and actual God. (Welcome back Spawnrider) Here's a little thing about it I made for fun:
Finally, I really like the story potential, since you can play into the fact they both are diehard pacifists but suffer huge crash outs from their mental struggles. It makes for a perfectly in character way to have the fight start, and lets you get really emotional with it. Honestly it makes sense for the fight to not even end in a death, the ending could have Fenic save a defeated Steven from God in a similar way to Enae. Having them bond over their similar struggles and becoming best friends is honestly the most realistic outcome lol. So yeah this MU is very cool, in my top ten now despite it having a zero percent chance of happening but hey, it is what it is.
Conclusion
Thank you so much for reading this little solo blog. It’s just a random passion project I decided to do to celebrate probably the most niche thing I'm a fan of. Goodbye to Halos is a story that means a lot to me (if it wasn’t obvious by my name lol). I’m glad to have done it’s scaling some justice here. If by some miracle the comic gets off hiatus in the future I will be first in line to blog it again. For now though, my other blogs are still in progress, so I’ll see Y'all then.
