no longer updating

Long time no see! It's officially been a year since my last post on this blog, so I feel it's finally time to announce that I will no longer be updating this project.

Flim-flam-and-a-baby was created completely on a whim. I had the idea rattling around in my brain for a while, and I just wanted a new outlet to share about my comfort characters. I was going through a really difficult time, and I created this story as a fun project to make me feel a little better. And holy wow it succeeded! The most surprising thing that has ever happened to me on tumblr was the positive reception to this blog. I have convinced myself for a long time that no one wanted to hear my silly little stories about these goobers, or even that people found it annoying when I talked about them, but this blog proved me wrong ten fold. I never expected this blog to get past like, 10 friends and a few stragglers. As of now, it has over 500 followers! I literally cannot express how much that support means to me. It may just be a follow for a silly little comic, but it went a long way in proving to me that people like my stories, and want to hear what I have to say. Learning to share something I hold so close to my heart was difficult, but the warm reception I got from all of you was more than worth it. I know that's a little deep for an mlp fan comic lol, but really, it means so, so much to me.

However, full disclosure, I never had a plan for this blog lmao. If I remember correctly the first post was drawn and posted at 5 am from a hospital room. I was, in the most literal sense, making it up page by page. I know where I stopped is super unsatisfying, but I literally cannot offer a further story explanation, I never came up with it lmao. I lost steam for the project fairly quickly, I loved it too pieces of course, I just didn't have the drive to continue the story. I didn't want to leave this blog hanging because I've had a couple people ask me when I'll be updating it, so I wanted to make an official statement that it is discontinued. If you're a big flim flam bros fan, I do have a super casual doodle account at @flimflamblings. And,,,, if I were to create a much more goof centered episodic blog for them and the gang, it would be called @bros-n-cons . No promises though.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to say thank you for all you guys have done for me. That's all folks ♡

Hey y'all! So sorry about another extended hiatus, school has been eating up a ton of my time and I've been in a bit of a slump story wise. Not sure when I'll be able to get new pages out, but thank y'all so much for sticking around!! I know I've said it before, but it means so much that y'all are interested in this story

❤ Happy Holidays y'all! I hope everyone's having a safe season with loved ones near and far ❤

I'm not gonna get to much into it, but I wanted to thank y'all for such a wonderful year! This blog has helped me cope with a lot, and it makes me so happy that it brings other people joy! Here's to the next one 🥂

If you put /chrono after a tag in the url, it'll arrange the posts with that tag in chronological order! You might be able to put a hyperlink to that in the blog description, too

Thank you for the advice!! I tried putting a hyperlink in a nav post but it didn't work, rip u_u but I'll put the link here! It doesn't work on the app fsr but if you put this in the browser it does!

Hi! Your art looks extremely nice and cute but, is there a way to read it in order? I don't want to miss context or something like that

Thank you so much!!! I actually don't know how to put the posts in chronological order (if anyone does pleeease hmu) but all of the story posts are tagged #story, and there's only 20 or so last time I checked, so you can scroll to the bottom pretty easily!

Aaaand we're back!

Sorry the hiatus was a little longer than expected, I struggled a lot with motivation so I kinda compromised. For some reason I just couldn't bring myself to work on the original 5 page comic that was going to be the next update, so I decided to do a shorter version. That comic was also very specifically themed around Pride month and that ship has very much sailed lol. I might release it later or post the sketched pages on @flimflamblings if y'all want to see it, but I am very happy with the shorter version that I did complete! Hopefully I'll be able to maintain steam for this blog, but since school is starting soon the updates may be a little sparce. Either way, huge thank you to yall for being patient and super supportive with this blog! Y'all are so sweet and your asks and comments still warm my heart!

Update is queued for tomorrow, see y'all then!

Hey everyone, its the mod. So this month completely kicked my ass a lot more than I thought it would. Between blm commissions, moving back home from my grandparents, finishing up the school year, fathers day, and my moms first birthday after her passing, I couldn't finish the update. I'm really sorry to make y'all wait, I have the whole thing sketched but I've been having a lot of trouble with the lining and coloring. I'll finish it up as soon as I can, but I wanted to let y'all know it probably won't be finished this month :( I will get there though! Without spoiling too much its five pages and explores Shills whole backstory. So stick around! Again, sorry for the impromptu hiatus, hopefully we'll be back soon!

Hey everyone, just letting y'all know the next update might take a little longer than usual. It's a BIG ONE and I want to get it all out at once. My goal is to get it out by the end of June (happy pride btw!) So stay tuned!
