#'I'm just gonna make a short little prologue comic' I say as the short little prologue comic becomes a 50 pages long chapter zero

[ineed-to-sleep]

I'm still working on this btw. Chipping away at it one little panel at a time 🥲

[teacupballerina]

I'm writing World of Light as a screenplay (with plenty of extra prose that wouldnt be ok in a formal original screenplay because it's fanfic)

Adding in a few new things, namely a prologue that adapts the last issue of Super Secret Crisis War (the canon comic World of Light jumps off from) as a short intro to the story

Having to reinterpret it is making me CRASH OUT because the dialogue in this book just doesn't read like how the characters talk. You can occasionally hear it in their voices, but not always!

I love Super Secret Crisis War for the many Ws it gave us [can't spell sweetpea without W] but PPG in particular has this problem where you only ever see a flanderized, soulless and super basic version of them past like season 5.

All the later games and comics are like some executive trying to "write for kids" [Except Troy Little's IDW runs because he's goated].

And there's no tension in SSCW because the heroes literally never get a single scratch on them; all of the heroes are always getting their asses handed to them in their own media though! It's got the spinoff problem of "banking on familiar faces while having to reintroduce them" and the licensing issue of "Don't let them have any character development or moments or personality because what if it contradicts our strict branding (that puts reboot and classic clipart together on merch bc who cares)?" This ends up actually being relevant to how WOL plays out, but it's really just the result of some CN suit saying "don't show our heroes getting hurt even for one panel" like bro come on now.

It makes you really appreciate Amy Keating Rogers and whoever else was responsible for dialogue and delivery in the classic series. I know it's hard to nail juggling 13 characters in a 6-issue book, Simonson did ok but man the way everyone talks is nottt natural.

I'm gonna blame it on them all being in hyperspace and having temporary broad-strokes personality drift

How abt Shingo? or Hojo rin?

<3 <3 <3 Hello!!! Thank you <3 <3 <3 <3

my two murder hobos, how I love them so

So Shingo, my stinky rat man. First impressions where honestly the same as everyone else "evil man, evil, I hate. but hey at least that eurobeat intensifies meme comes from his race. and now,,,well,,,,, :)

Favorite moment-Sayuki's snot nosed Shingo comment in the extra stage. Idk if its different subbed but I think about it sometimes

Idea for a story- As some of you hopefully know, prologue mechaAU Night Kids were once a team(more than a team) but broke up after a devastating loss caused a rift in their ideologies. Rn I've been trying to figure out how write or show off them getting through their differences and rediscovering their passion as a certain junker reminds them of what they once were but I don't like to write too often and comics take too long for me to stay interested in finishing them. Will probably do a single page piece, Might just commission a drabble at this point but my ventures in the fanfiction world is limited.

Unpopular opinion-The only opinions I've seen of him are HATE or hehe stinky rat man so idk what to say here

Favorite relationship-I mean Takeshin is otp, but I also really enjoy the idea of He, Mako, and Sayuki all being a chaos trio in high school getting into racing with each other and being that lesbian/pure of heart, dumb of ass dynamic

Favorite headcanon-lets seeeee I mean I've got so many HCs for him, especially AU version, where I could probably pull a WattPad original movie, give him a different name, and make him my own OC but i will not. Some favorites include-He owns pet rats, his wound from his race v Takumi never heals properly, trans shingo, he does graphic art sometimes(designed the team logo and half of his tattoos in AU ver).

Now for Rin, gonna be a little short cause unfortunately there's not as much

First impression- stinky old man(derogatory)

Impression now- stinky old man(affectionate) ah yes the 20 y/o calling the 30 y/o old man, classic

Favorite moment-Shinigami Race(derogatory) dude I laughed out loud with this one because I'm a sick bastard ig, but its the only race I remember from 5th stage, and the only one I feel gives the same amount of characterization to the race as the ones from 1st and 2nd stage i need to read the manga

Idea for a story- Still working on White Comet v Grim Reaper, in which I'm rewriting the backstory to be Rin, Kaori, Ryosuke, and Fumihiro were once a team until a mech designed by Ryosuke failed killing Kaori and damaging Rin to the point where he's an angry cyborg now

Unpopular opinion- hard to have unpopular opinions on the guy when I know only ~4 other people in the english speaking fandom who actively have opinions on him

Favorite relationship- Him being a cursed uncle to Shinji is the best one, him having cartoonishly unbridled hatred for Ryosuke is also fun.

Favorite headcanon(s)- He was kinda a jerk older brother in a Rodrick Hefley kind of way and he's also the one who started the goth/punk boy trend for Gou(and eventually Shinji), he's the embodiment of wrath for a more less light hearted HC
