I've been sitting with this for a while now. The old membership setup never quite captured what I actually want this space to be. So I tore it down and rebuilt it from the ground up. The whole idea: you don't just support The Golden Troupe anymore. You get to back YOUR Troupe member. The one you identify with the most. The one you'd defend in a fight.
Because let's be honest, we all have one π
Pick your fav:
($5 each, same benefits, one very important decision!)
Rioxia πΈ - For the ones who need pure joy in their feed. She loves everyone- and she's not sorry about it
Aspa π₯ - For the ones who feel things loudly. All that anger, all that heart makes up the slow, hard work of becoming who you actually are
Morgh β‘ - For the ones whose brains never stop moving. Forward, always forward, no brakes, no off switch. The rivalry with Aspa is entirely his fault. (Don't tell him I said that)
Qui π - For the ones who are over everything. I mean... same
Whichever member you back, you get every single benefit below. The tier is the loyalty. The love, you might say.
Every tier, every member - $5
Priority Papyrus π - Read comic updates before the rest of the world does... finished full colour pages land in your inbox first. No waiting, no having to refresh socials like everyone else!
The SLIPSTREAM π - YOUR Troupe member-focused lore-rich vignettes, writings, background scenes and world-building that expand beyond the main comic. Fair warning: some of it might make you feel things
Troupe Tent βΊοΈ - The group chat you didn't know you needed... fellow Troupe fans, shared art, unreasonable amounts of animal talk and a place to be a little bit weird about fictional creatures
First Watch π₯ - Ad-free and early... you watch videos before it's public, before the algorithm gets its hands on it, before anyone else gets to have opinions about it!
Wallpaper Drops ποΈ - Troupe creatures and characters, straight to your lock screen... (because staring at Rioxia's face all day is a completely normal way to cope)
The Golden Troupe - $18 (for the ones who didn't just wander in)
Everything above, plus:
The Golden Troupe: Vol 1 (Digital) π - Yours the moment you join. The complete first volume, digital and yours to keep. This is for the fans who didn't just visit, they moved in
The Golden Troupe tier isn't part of the monthly game. It's the full-commitment option, especially if you're new here and want the whole world at once instead of just one corner of it.
The Monthly Game π
Here's where it gets a little unhinged, in the best way π
Every month, whichever Troupe member gets the most new signups to their tier - or the most fans moving laterally from one of the other $5 tiers - wins the month. A crown, bragging rights, and the undying (imaginary) admiration of the other three. But for real, they get an extra lore vignette for that month. You get to learn a little more about what makes your fav tick. And if you like them because they're you in animals form, well, maybe you'll even learn a little about yourself.
Aspa is already planning her victory lap. Morgh is convinced the game is rigged. Qui wants you to know she's above all of this and has no opinion whatsoever, which is, of course, an opinion.
So the real question is: who are you backing this month? The Troupe wants to know.
More world to make.
Not sure who to pick?
Well, I made a quiz just for that! You can do the quiz, then come back here to pick your winner:
