Solus To Solace
The slip of paper never grows heavy.
Never pulls down. The unsteady thunder but a distant sound.
It remains eternal, words for tears to fall onto,
For fingers to skim over one’s own anima.
The vow to try.
A battle everyday, all one can do is live anyway.
For the child.
For the shadow of what once was, of what could be.
For those wrinkles and aches of a natural end.
For existing to merely be the beginning.
A light easy to attend.
So to the paper we breathe.
The soul to the stories.
The bile and puss to you.
Our skin already peeled and ready, see the red underneath
Breathing with hope.

Still “Infirmity's Children (Season One)”
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Action Comic
Synopsis: Two years ago, a swarm of invisible creatures raided Earth, pillaging what remained of the already-fleeting human population and disappearing beneath the soil. All but a select few. Untouched and abandoned aboveground by these Reapers, survivors are forced to carry on their lives despite extraterrestrial uncertainty, all the while cursed to walk over where their loved ones decay. Their only connection? They all seem to possess the sight to see these creatures' true forms.
Following the small community of Titanous, Hallucin Survivors strive to maintain hope and fraternity. Though not everyone is as capable of handling their grief alone, and when old wounds threaten to destroy the peace they've so desperately created, an answer must be spoken. In a world where suffering is the easiest language to speak, are you to succumb to the feral instincts so painstakingly chanted, or find solace in the strife of humanity?
Coming End of Spring 2025 on Webtoon.
Benable
I've recently been invited to make recommendations on Benable, a 50,000+ user Pinterest-type website that allows micro-creators to make money when a recommendation they made is bought by users, like you! Benable works with over 35,000 brands. It's online shopping, but I get a commission for sponsoring products that genuinely brought me satisfaction.

The Little Red Book/Rednote
Yes, I have joined "Rednote" in solidarity with those affected by the USA Tik Tok Ban. My content there will differ from that on Tik Tok, as the app culture is different and meant to give Chinese people local/global recommendations. Rednote creators put a lot of effort into their videos. As such, to respect the app and its users, my videos will have Mandarin subtitles first, then English. Additionally, I will only be uploading videos giving book recs and writing tips. For content you're used to outside of such, I will continue to post those types of videos on Youtube and Instagram.

I will be posting weekly videos on The Cyrus Archives every Sunday at 8AM.
Comic Promotion
My co-creator and artist for Infirmity's Children, Kr_nkyrd, has set up an Instagram and Tik Tok page to discuss the upcoming episodes. Content includes art time-lapses, "Basement Yard" type-vlogs between the Kr_nk and I, and early peaks at panels.
