Ask Abomination for the Advice your Puny Mortal Ears need to Hear!

MerrowBros 2021-12-13 22:57:45 UTC #1

Greetings Tapas People,

I've had an idea for a community collaboration project for awhile now, and I've finally worked up the nerve to get started. Basically, the Abomination (a demon self help columnist) will give terrible advice to Tapas OCs that write him letters.

Got a Strongbad email sort of vibe, y'know?

What you need to do:

Write a short, 3-5 sentence long letter from your OC to the Abomination, asking for help with a problem they've been having. No novellas please.
Include a picture of the OC asking for help, just in case I want to include them in the response.

What I'm going to do:
I'll be making a short comic response to the letters. I can't guarantee I'll get to everyone, and I might skip around a bit depending on what Ideas I come up with. My responses might take awhile.

Below, I've posted a proof of concept. This one didn't have any community involvement, but it should give you an idea of what to expect:

Cool beans. Hopefully this turns out all right.

Oh this sounds brill!!!! I'll have to ponder a letter X3

I'll join in on this!

Me too! Just gotta doodle something up real quick

BLTX 2021-12-14 00:52:27 UTC #5

And here's my entry! Looking forward to it!

I've been waiting for this. Just gotta think about which OC to use and what would be the funniest question for them to ask.

Hooray! Excited to see this project come to life!

"Dear Abomination,
My foster sister won't stop picking on me, and it really bothers me. Sometimes when we spar she takes it way too far. My sister is just way too competitive. How do I make her stop/recognize my strength.
I eagerly wait your answer. Hope I make it in your column.
Sincerely-
A good kid Brother (most of the time.)
PS My real name is Rip.
PPS Er...if that helps.

Oh this is cool! I was about to join but I see you've got quite a lot of letters to answer already xD I'll be following this thread to see the awesome responses.

Reminds me of Calls For Cthulhu.

KilljoyConstruct 2021-12-14 12:32:22 UTC #10

Here’s mine! I just used an old sketch instead, hopefully that’s okay

“Dear Abomination,

I live with a ghost. Yes, a literal ghost. One that seems to only have one goal: driving me up the wall every chance he gets. One time he kept walking around the house and knocking stuff over, saying that he was “practicing his haunting skills in case any children came over”. I’m sick of it, but even so, I don’t want to get rid of him. He’s the only friend I have left. How can I get him to stop?

I eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,

At My Limit”

The look on the abomination's face while reading the letter . Hilarious! And did Ginger get eaten XD XD XD

BLTX 2021-12-14 17:44:02 UTC #13

Haha! I love this! And I REALLY like your interpretation of the Donnie! Good work!

Dear Abombination
I'm just a poor wee loch monster, and I'm trying to conquer the world's selkies, but I have to brainwash monsters to do this, and it stresses me out. I need to take some time out for myself, but I don't know how to properly relax. What should I do?
Also my niece is trying to kill me.
Love Luideag

@MerrowBros great stuff. Great stuff. I personally love the dust at the bottom of the lucky charms, but she's right, it would absolutely wreck Rip haha.

aqua03 2021-12-15 01:02:33 UTC #17

RIP Rip if he tried to eat those.

BLTX 2021-12-15 04:30:24 UTC #18

The Tapas Biologica...?

MerrowBros 2021-12-15 07:25:13 UTC #19

Well. The general idea is that they have an encyclopedia with information on all sorts of Tapas characters. She is pointing at it, so I thought it was clear enough (I guess not XD). I chose the name biologica for no particular reason, other than it sounded sort of science-y.

DualDragons 2021-12-15 07:56:42 UTC #20

Ok I'll bite haha, this looks very promising

"Dear Abomination,

My life has been a trainwreck the past month. I was kicked out of the royal palace and locked in prison by this douche blonde guy. I was also nearly killed when trying to escape and now I am stuck doing farm work.

I don't even understand why they kicked me out? They exclaimed that I ruled over people with an iron fist, but how do you even rule over people otherwise without being a joke?

I eagerly await your advice.
Sincerely,

Danivere Wayslaende"
