Inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood

the young girl is walking through the bamboo shoots on a mission to deliver some food to her grandmother. On her trail, she is surprised to find a giant boar. is this a friend or foe?

Tristan is excited to start at her new witch school, hoping for a fresh start. But it doesn’t take long for her to attract the attention of Advika, a popular student with her own magical powers. Advika quickly starts bullying Tristan, using her magic to make her feel small.

Tired of the torment, Tristan decides to take matters into her own hands. She casts a spell to steal Advika’s magic, and in an instant, Advika loses her powers. Her cat familiar, Nyx—a sleek red creature—disappears from her sight.

With Advika’s magic now flowing through her, Tristan feels stronger, more confident, and completely unburdened by the bullying. Advika, helpless and confused, can no longer see Nyx or use her magic. Tristan doesn’t feel regret—she’s simply thrilled by her newfound strength and the freedom it brings. At last, she’s in control.

Tristan’s world shatters when her mother dies in a car crash, and in her desperation to undo the tragedy, she buys a spell to bring her back. But instead of her mother, she accidentally conjures a mischievous blue ferret familiar.

Now, as the ferret becomes an unlikely companion, Tristan faces a choice: she can either follow the path of healing and acceptance with the help of Pepper, her new witch teacher, who guides her through the painful process of grief—or she can dig herself deeper into obsession, doing whatever it takes to bring her mother back, even if it means sacrificing everything else in the process.

This drawing captures a moment of chaotic humor and catharsis. It depicts a boy being struck by a Living small table surrounded by fire. his immediate reaction being a sharp exclamation of "fuck!" In the top left corner, a health bar is visible, divided into three categories: Persuasion, Pain Tolerance, and Emotional Response.

The concept plays off an article suggesting that swearing can actually help alleviate pain, as the boy's response seems to trigger a kind of emotional reset—his body and mind

grappling with pain and gaining a little resilience from his choice of words. You can see his health bar and Lvl changing, turning a painful moment into a game-like experience, where swearing might just be the key to survival in an unexpected, quirky way.
