Hello, I'm Bulgariansumo! I'm in the process of writing and illustrating for two stories that have been bouncing around in my head for 9 years or so. It's honest work, but I do need to promote if I want anyone else to see them. The most natural way to do this for me is to do an advertisement, update, and commentary thread. There'll also be memes here too.
My writing PG for the most part, so most general content warnings don't apply except for emotional abuse here and there. I'll tag that if it comes up and any ones readers want me to. Just hit me up with what you need me to tag, and I'll do so.
Without further ado, here's my stories!
What to Expect
Bad press calls for desperate measures. For the Interstellar Forces, sending a small crew to Neptune was the bet they were willing to make - at the risk of losing the little respect they have left (and maybe some lives).
A roll of dice and a lack of options led to the selection of the Celestion-5’s crew, a collection of inexperienced astronauts ranging from space-loving dreamers to cynics only in it for the money.
It’s them against the universe, and their odds are a gamble at best. Learning how to live together can only help. Though with the crew’s pervasive personal problems, that might be the real journey.
That's the official synopsis. A more casual description of the vibe I'm trying to go for with this is something like All Saints Street or Bugsnax if you're familiar with those. Something that's overall lighthearted, but the more you go on, the more you realize these characters have issues they need to work out. That plus government incompetence. In space!

Reviews - Here's what strangers have to say about it!*
"It truly is a little slice of heaven (space maybe?). For those of you that have comfort shows that you find yourself returning to over and over again, Galactiquest has a similar vibe. [...] If you’re looking for something that has heart, a chill vibe, and is ready to throw a great cast into ridiculous situations, give it a read!" -- [x]
"Take Galactiquest as a saturday morning cartoon. It's not perfect but the characters are funny and everything feels relaxing and comfy. Some parts are really worth the follow." -- [x]
"This kind of story isn't usually in my wheelhouse, I admit, but I find it's nice to slow down every once in a while and take in the scenery. That's what Galactiquest does: it follows some very lovable characters as they begin their intrepid voyage into space." -- [x]
"I was absolutely invested and in love with your characters, plot, story, and artwork. It made it less of a book and more of an experience. [...] This is a story that I want to reach millions of reads and votes and everything!" -- (This one's a DM, so I can't really link it, but it really makes me smile.)
Here's a video review of the first chapter!
*(Most of these are just the first episode)
Not into sci-fi? No problem! I have another series set in this universe's version of the 80s. It's about a boyband fighting for the little bit of clout they can get in the island where they live.
And here's where I'd put my official Hinimato stories... if I had any! But do be looking out for it. I should start working on it as soon as I get done with The Confession.
If you want to support my stories on other websites, I post on Wattpad, Royal Road, and Tapas. Stop by and say hi!
