In the meantime, for anyone who loves a good webcomic I can't recommend Unsounded enough.

Reading through it, Unsounded is awesome. Cheers.

Man, you'll be loading for a while. The Blog is PhD-thesis length.

TL;DR of his TL;DR:

Thunt is better than he was before the breakdown. Thunt is going to draw Goblins how he wants to and not how the readers want him to (???). Thunt is going to carry on drawing Goblins.

Yeah, it's long as hell. Still trying to find the part where he explains what happened.

He doesn't, really. I'm not even sure he knows what happened.

He had a guilt-related breakdown and then got over it.

I'm sort of familiar with a little bit of it. What happened seemed to be far worse than my episodes, though.

He apparently listened to tumblr feminists, that's what I'm told happened.

Only read through a bit, but it's interesting so far. I could swear it was on one of my lists, but if so I never got around to it.


He doesn't, really. I'm not even sure he knows what happened.
Doesn't seem like he knows what started it, at least. The rest appears to have been largely a snowball effect.

"What I Experienced 1.0" makes all of this stuff pretty clear. He's always been easy to stress; he felt guilty over repeatedly missing deadlines; it got worse from there. There's also another cause he's not putting up.

Lies. The Blog has the truth of it.

And the blog heavily implies precisely that.


From the The Blog:

Now let’s talk for a minute about what the picture ISN’T. For the love of all that’s wireless, it isn’t sexual. Honest. I was amazed to see how many people online attributed the picture to some kind of sexual fetish. I mean… as provocative as I am… Sweet Starscream, there is nothing sexual in that picture. And yet…

“Could Thunt’s amputation fetish be any more obvious?”

“Okay Thunt, you have a cannibal fetish, we get it.”

“…obviously Thunt’s gore fetish.”

“…his rape fetish…”

Notice how each, different fetish is the one and only, obvious fetish that is clearly portrayed in the rorschach test… er… I mean, the picture that I drew.

Another theory some people have, is that I identify as a female, since I’ve drawn the character representing me as a female doll. While this isn’t at all offensive to me, it is interesting, because I’m now accused of being transphobic and transgendered by the internet. Not a lot of people can unlock that achievement!



Even the blog states that the full reasons have been removed, but the almighty blog post of biblical proportions implies in certain places that the tumblr SJW barbarian hordes did fuck with him when he was down for the count. Understandable that you wouldn't have waded that far in, though. Imagine you've got this guy teetering on the edge, and suddenly these self-righteous visigoths are doing what they always do, bullying and socially harassing and trying to tear people down in their Maoist attempts at a cultural revolution. A sane person has the mental wherewithal to ignore them, but Thunt was far from that point.

Oh. I misinterpreted what kaian-a-coel said, then, as I though he meant that that was the entirety of the explanation for Thunt's disappearance. That was dumb of me, thank you for clearing it up.

*reads blog*
...Woah. Those people...
I'm real happy to see that Thunt is back and really happy to see that he's got a legion of support there. Bad thing is the reinforcement. The negative reinforcement :/
Who even emails a person to tell them they suck. >_>

And on the breakdown? Fully understand it. It's just...wow. Words can't express what I see there. :'(
...alright, they will, but that'd take a half hour of writing and probably more than 4 pages of MS word in comparison, allegory, and bringing up of examples.
Really happy to see him back in action.
