#EGS Comics

I was really surprised to go on AO3 and see that there is not a single fanfic about Hope from El Goonish Shive. I know we're a small fandom, and we've only had her since November, but it's surprising because she is literally the reincarnation of arguably the single most important side character

Dick spent so much time climbing, hanging off things, or solving problems upside down that it became a joke with the Titans that Robins think better like that. Fast forward a couple of years and Jason threatens to shoot the next person who flips him upside down when he's scheming (Artemis gets Bizarro to do it). Tim nearly kicks Kon in the face for flipping him over. Kara does it when Stephanie's being annoying, but mercifully by the time Damian's there, no one does it to him. Still, occasionally one of the Bats will be upside down because they got caught like that or fell through a vent and have a Eureka moment and everyone will feel vindicated and it starts up all over again.

It is very annoying, for I do not see how I am to shave, unless in my watch-case or the bottom of the shaving-pot, which is fortunately of metal.

this artwork, especially being from such an important person to the show, has had a profound impact on me. i’m so in love with it. all of these are canon now. i’m updating all my headcanons to accommodate it. i am now a cmc polyshipper for example. looking at this picture is like watching a ghibli movie at my grandma’s house. it’s so validating and nostalgic. i can’t put it into adequate words. i’m going to buy a print of it and eat it.

please click through to see it in higher quality and to engage with the artist’s post.

Part 11 Begins

Tragically, part 11 not only failed to begin on the 11th, but it failed to begin in 2011, so it does not share a birthday with Skyrim. I would lament it not beginning on 11/11/1111, but that would just be silly.

"Negotiation"

from an idea I sketched out 2 years ago and never made

[caligvlasaqvarivm]

Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?

put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings

Metahorror comic where a b-list hero on an ensemble superhero lineup gradually begins to discover elements of their life and relationships that don’t quite fit before finally realizing that they were only created to act as a thinly-veiled stand-in for an older character that the writer wasn’t allowed to use for editorial reasons.

I used poetry magnets to write a poem about Pandora and Tedd from El Goonish Shive. Anyways, this is how it reads:

box,

manifest legend knowledge power

instruct motivate play terrify

kindle righteous anger

invite bright truth

bang!

't,

quiet sister boy

become tutor

be sincere and

kill secret

help world wonder

change life

[ladyhatty]

Awe they've come so far! Tedd has become worthy of trust and learned her friends actual wants and needs. And Sarah has become comfortable with herself and her body enough to enjoy something like this. It's awesome seeing them become friends over the years and such cool people.

So… What is Hope?

The magical girl, not the concept. And not, like, a "magical girl", I mean… Wait. IS she a magical girl? Does she fight monsters?
