best read in dark mode

hi!! im kamar, the creator of maniacs! i decided to make a rentry explaining the lore (partially because i dont wanna spoil the series), characters, sort of history, anddd...thats it i think. sooo lets start with the reason why i created the comic!!!!

....i was bored and wanted to make a shitpost comic based on tails gets trolled

heres the link to the webcomic of tgt if you want it :P
tails gets trolled

so basically, it was around 2022 when the whole idea happened. back then i was a mentally insane (dramatic ass fuck intro to 14 year old me) friday night funkin fan who was obsessed with mods. i couldn't play them myself since...

  1. i used a school computer to even use social media when schools didnt have filters
  2. i couldn't download the actual mods since i had a chromebook.
  3. i had to use kbh games just to play mods and even then i couldnt even do that without the page crashing.

so i ended up leeching off of YouTube playthroughs and tweets that showcase the mods. then one day i saw that there was a mod that was based off of tails gets trolled. i think i saw it on a tweet where they were teasing the songs and that caught my attention. so to get familiar with the tgt lore to understand the mod, i read the comic and oh my god i became an annoying bitch eversince. i was obsessed with the comic. like obsessed obsessed. i was live tweeting on my main and everything it was serious.

i was a oc artist and fnf artist at the time as well. so, i decided to make tgt variants of my ocs, ken and yuri. they were made using an old mock of the old version of mspaint (untitled paint). they were a poor attempt at making more edgy and mentally deranged versions of yuri and ken but my audience at the time seemed to like them so i decided to draw them more. i gave them the names tyler (tgt!yuri) and mick (tgt!ken). then i suddenly got an idea on what i would do with them. i was already pretty inspired by tgt so i decided to start a comic series with yuri, ken, mick, tyler, a yuri fanboy i made named marco, and fnf characters from various mods as well as my boyfriends (lardass) oc, clyde. there was only one chapter and it was nearly done, however due to my mental health and the character changes i did, i canned the whole thing. it was sad but at the same time i hated where the whole plot was going and i rlly wanted to rework it. and i did. multiple times. but the plots never seem to go anywhere since i didnt plan anything through.

then a few months ago, i decided to bring it back now that my characters were (sort of) fully developed. i wanted to bring it back for many reasons that i wont get into because its extremely personal.
