i didn’t realize until like chapter 4 that if you hover over the page you see some little quip or comment Red put so now I gotta read this whole thing again
Hello, and welcome to the Aurora comment section! For anyone new to this story, I’ll give some advice to clear some information up:
-The story has an extensive setting that’s detailed in the Lore tab. I recommend reading the lore pages, as they can help explain some of the more subtle details of this story’s worldbuilding, but if you want to remain in the dark or just don’t like to read too much, that’s fine too. If you do decide to check these out, some pages may be password-protected; the reason? The password is ‘spoilers’. You have been warned.
-If you want to reply to a comment, make sure to load the current page from the Archive tab, not the home page. Due to a bug, replies don’t work if you load the comic from the home page.
-Please, no comments that intentionally discriminate against a specific demographic; the other commenters don’t want them, and the author sure as hell doesn’t want them. If you ignore this tip anyway, I assure you, any other commenters who see your hate speech will show you no mercy.
-If you peruse the comment section, be wary, as I, The Mocking Dragon, and a few other folks like to theorize about various story beats and worldbuilding details, much of which involves information from the aforementioned lore pages, including the password-protected ones. If you’re extra cautious about avoiding spoilers, make sure to shy away from any suspicious comments, or even avoid the comment section entirely if you’re REALLY prudent. If instead you want to join the theorizing, constructive criticism is appreciated (at least by me).
I hope this was helpful if you needed it. Enjoy the story, and godspeed my friends!
An addition: later on, a major character is introduced. This major character has a confirmed, canonical name, yet because of a random reddit poll, a vocal minority have started calling the character “Walter”. This is not that character’s name, I just wanted to clarify.
An addition to this addition: I made this addition when I was going through a personal complex of sorts. I have since moved on from that complex; call the aforementioned character whatever you like
I agree. The story, art, and gameplay of that game is wonderful. Just… be prepared for the difficulty, and be assured that the word ‘SHAW’ will feature prominently.
I have a strong feeling that after learning that Red from OSP makes this that I am going to enjoy this a lot!!! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT SHE HAS A WEBCOMIC!!! HER ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN AMAZING!!!!
If you have scrolled down this far into the comments, you have undoubtedly seen mentions of alternative text and quips hidden in the page. If you are on a computer or keyboard-equipped tablet, simply hover your mouse to reveal it. If you are not, don’t worry! I’ll be doing my best to keep up with the comic and post the alt text in the comments so you can find it (though you may have to scroll down quite a ways).
As fellow commentator TheUnknownGame mentioned, many of us like to spitball theories down here. I am admittedly one of them, so you may see my name crop up time to time. However, all alternative text posts will be their own posts and be indicated as such, so you won’t have to scroll through lines of potential spoilers in a post to find the Alt Text section. And so, without further ado, here is the alternative text post for the first page of this marvelous adventure:
As an addendum to my previous comment, it seems that, as I have been unable to consistently comb back through the archives due to time constraints and other commitments, another reader has picked up the alt text. You may also find such posts by Akajaro. I will refrain from posting on these pages to avoid double-posting the text, though there admittedly may have been some double-posting already.
If you are on mobile and want to see the alt text, simply touch and hold the image. I still haven’t figured out what is image source but that’s also a thing to look for.
Eldritch Satan: DUUUUDE, the magic guy don’t know magic, what gives?!?
Prepare for Trouble: sorry bout’ that, that’s MiD’s fault
Make it Double: IS NOT!!!!
Prepare for Trouble and Make it Double start squabbling like siblings while Eldritch Satan sighs in the background: these two
I must know, are all of these pages in the same aspect ratio or are some different? I’m tempted to print these out so I can put a physical copy on my shelf, but I’m unsure of the aspect ratios at play here
TL;DR: Jesus is born. But he hasn’t gotten güd yet.
This is amazing
alt-text: ohhhh, THAT’S why it’s called “aurora”
Just found out about this from today’s stream. Super looking forward to it
In the beginning… the gods created a hot dude.
But even this demi-god Sephiroth-looking stud wasn’t enough to satisfy their divine thirst.

Happy to see the growth! And I hope that you’re doing well on your journey.
Just found this today and wasn’t expecting immediate Pale King (Hollow Knight) vibes
No cost too great.
No mind to think.
No will to break.
No voice to cry suffering.
You are the pure vessel.
You are The Hollow Knight.
did not expect hollow knight in this comic, even its comments
if you’re reading this, play hk
you’ll love it

making a formal request for red to give a sarcastic summary of their own comic so far.

Today’s Alt Text:
ohhhh, THAT’S why it’s called “aurora”
spoiler alert! this is probably vd manipulating The twins to create the perfect vessel for him nice storytelling red.
To new readers:
As an addendum to my previous comment, it seems that, as I have been unable to consistently comb back through the archives due to time constraints and other commitments, another reader has picked up the alt text. You may also find such posts by Akajaro. I will refrain from posting on these pages to avoid double-posting the text, though there admittedly may have been some double-posting already.
As another addendum:
Hermit Thrush is also posting the alt text. I kind of wish there was a way to edit comments, because it would be a lot less crowded on this page…
To anyone just joining, a user named Zer0w0lf has taken up the alt-text. Keep an eye out for our wonderful alt-text friends!
is that a treble cleff tattoo
Question, is this Webcomic accessible for the visually impaired? Is each page really only one sentence? because I feel like I’m missing something.
hey where is 0.2…?
And so it begins
with auroras in the sky
back in Year Zero
Oh wow, would you look at that? The first page was released on my birthday. Huh.
The very beginning of something great
Vulnerable and young,
Overlooked for found disgrace.
Intentions unknown.
Deficient of soul,
You may never know.
Okay so I’m gonna go back and do every page.
A vast glowy sky is all we will see
And a dark voice complaining about their employees
If you are on mobile and want to see the alt text, simply touch and hold the image. I still haven’t figured out what is image source but that’s also a thing to look for.
Going back to reread this again for like the 4th time cuz I just love it that much
Finally. A flashback that isn’t blue.
And so my journey begins
What a beginning!
oh mygod whait rereding and YEAR ZERO??????? man aurora got some CRAZY recordkeeping
This is my favorite web comic
Welp. Time to get lost in a new Webcomic!
I’m trying to find a role for me in the community, so I’m coming back here to make everything gay!
Super kissable hunks gets made while godly dude beautiful voice rejects his advances
-=-
I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE NOW
TURNING IT INTO POKEMON BATTLES
Never mind
Eldritch Satan: DUUUUDE, the magic guy don’t know magic, what gives?!?
Prepare for Trouble: sorry bout’ that, that’s MiD’s fault
Make it Double: IS NOT!!!!
Prepare for Trouble and Make it Double start squabbling like siblings while Eldritch Satan sighs in the background: these two
I must know, are all of these pages in the same aspect ratio or are some different? I’m tempted to print these out so I can put a physical copy on my shelf, but I’m unsure of the aspect ratios at play here
Rereading this is cool
alt-text: ohhhh, THAT’S why it’s called “aurora”
Guess who’s come back to reread the best webcomic ever written for the 4th time
And so begins the adventure of Floof boi, life mommy, Hubris Mcgee, metal lady, floof boi #2 and this guy who reminds me of Wu-kong.
Only people caught up will get it
Wait. The site actually loaded this time?
‘testing’ ”testing” _testing_
I’m gonna do a CinemaSins-style thing for Aurora because I’m bored.
DISCLAIMER: This is a joke. I genuinely love this webcomic and no offense is intended towards Red or the comic itself.
Starting off with cryptic messages with no explanation in sight for like fifteen chapters.
Sin Count: 1
This is gonna be cool
And it begins!!
The background is so pretty
