Day 1 of @justfluffwithit ‘s JRWI Fluff Week Event!!!

Dakota hugs are always a bit risky… Who knows, maybe having his spine shattered will help William ragdoll better?

(the goobers,,, relying on the power of pure hyperfixation to pull me out of art block, this week is gonna be fun :])

also one of my coworkers asked me what's the craziest thing I'd ever eat and then acted all shocked when I gave her the answer and told me to bring it down about five billion notches to like squid or crickets. Babe what did you think I'd say??? It's obvious!

now that I've had some time to think about Book Three's cover/description, here are some bullet-point thoughts

The art style has vastly improved from Book One. It feels like Tillie's finally comfortable with style, and the characters here don't have same face syndrome here. Also the color palette here is my favorite of the three covers. From everything that I've read from Tillie, the way she works with color is a strong point of her work... which again, makes me wish the entire comic was in color but nooooo...

It looks like Ricca has her own cane now, which makes sense given a bit point of her character through the series is her worsening vision like... even with her glasses, she's practically blind.

Clementine has a new hat. Y'know... because her iconic hat got left with AJ... y'all still remember AJ, right? The comics don't.

Dr. Barnwell the cat made it onto the cover.... you know I'm in too deep with these damn comics when I see some random person be like "Clementine's getting a new cat" and I say, out loud, "That's Dr. Barnwell, you dingus, he's been around since the end of Book One." AS IF ANYONE ELSE CARES!

I know too much about this series, y'all

In my defense, I'm a little snappy about stuff like that after Book Two came out and people were just making shit up about what happens, going as far as to fake screenshots, and tell people it's "just like fifty shades of grey" when uh NO? it's not? People were deliberately trying to deceive others over certain elements and it still makes me mad whenever I think about it.... ANYWAY

We also see Fen and Olivia featured here, too. Fen's one of the more interesting side characters we've gotten, and I'm glad she survived Book Two, and Olivia.... I notice the way she's drawn with the front of her body hidden. I know that's probably to not show spoilers for Book Two since that reveal's a big deal, but still.

"Clementine finally has it all–a safe place to live, a girlfriend, and even a cat…but nothing lasts forever. And when Clementine suffers a loss unlike anything she’s ever faced, a new mentor called The Gardener offers her a new family, and a new way of living… but at what cost?" This is the description we were given.

First of all, Clementine had it all at Ericson, and it didn't make her happy. In fact, it made her so miserable that she left... I kinda hope this book does something with that by giving her everything she wants [as in, the safe home, a romantic partner, friends, a cat, etc] and she's STILL unhappy...? And it ends with her leaving again? But something tells me it won't.

Clementine's going to suffer a loss "unlike anything she's ever faced"? Ehhhh, press X to doubt. I played the games, I lived through all of her losses. I don't think anything will ever top seeing her parents as walkers and then losing Lee right after.

I mentioned before that the obvious direction here would be for Olivia to lose her baby, or for Olivia to die after giving birth, but uh... Clementine's been through both of those things with Christa and Rebecca... but we have to keep in mind that we're so far removed from the games at this point that it's never going to bring those up, y'know?

Real talk though? I'm very intrigued by the idea of a new mentor character called The Gardener who is apparently offering her a new family and a new way of life... but at a cost. What cost? What new way of life? What new family? Are we joining a cult now?

Listen, we missed out on the opportunity for a cannibalism plot in Book One, and Miss Morro left a lot to be desired in Book Two, so like... go extra dark this time. C'mon, Tillie, do it.

Also, Amos is definitely coming back as a twist villain, I feel it in my bones. We didn't see a body at the end of Book One okay!

I'm mostly joking but also NOT JOKING AT ALL!

My offer still stands, if Amos comes back, the book is an automatic 5/5 stars, no questions asked.

Anyway, I'll keep y'all updated on this, and when it releases next year, I'll write my in-depth review... "I read it so you don't have to" and all that.

Just as a final reminder, and allow me to make it extra big so that everyone can see it:

Leave Tillie Walden alone. I don't care if you hate the comics or think they're an insult to the game or whatever else. You want to express that, then do it on your blog. Don't send it to Tillie. We have enough pricks harassing her as is, and you're the bigger asshole here if you think it's okay to send her shit like that, so don't.

Seriously, it's the last book and then Tillie's done with the series, and I doubt they're gonna sign her on to make more. The games still exist, you can still go play them, these comics aren't taking that away from you... and if you feel like they are, then don't engage with them, period. It's not hard.

I cover the comics in-depth for people who don't want to read them but are curious about what happens. They don't bother me in that "they ruined the games" way that they used to, so I can handle it. If you can't, then do yourself a favor and just don't. Just don't!

for whatever reason I really like drawing streaks in ceroba's hair (and just. Drawing headshots of her in general. Mainly from memory. She's Weirdly fun to draw ?!!)

in puck's canon, the companion that gets kidnapped by orin is iago because of course it is. when he finds this out, he has a breakdown &, in his awesome rage, (where is your anger rise RISE!!!) destroys everything in his room at the elfsong tavern.

he has very little regard for his own physical well-being & bashes his head into the vanity mirror during this scene. despite the fact that all of his wounds always heal, this one does not & leaves a scar over his left eye where a shard of glass cut him. bhaal said "ok thats sick as hell you can keep that one." <- that is not the real reason. it is because i said it looks sick as hell.

im not tagging this as anything cause i dont wanna be mean but everyone going 'omg look at all the new characters for mario kart world' but like. how the fuck did you get that duped into swooning over an EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLAR GAME EXCLUSIVE TO A FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR CONSOLE THAT'S AN EXACT CLONE OF THE LAST CONSOLE. ARE YOU DUMB. no actually i dont really think it's gonna be all that good, the extra characters are cool ig but who the fuck is playing as the bird from sunshine. genuinely. open world racing is not the draw you think it is and everything looks disjointed as fuck! why are they making more realistic and gritty environments (the torn up road one specifically looks good on its own then you put mario in it and he looks *jarringly* out of place) in time with making plasticky-er and neckless and movie-esque models. give mario his fucking neck back. LOOK WHAT THEY FUCKING DID TO PAULINE. ILL KILL THEM

i generally do not enjoy being a hater but what the fuck. you cannot honestly tell me this looks appealing enough to spend 500 fucking dollars on you people are INSANE. nobody is allowed to post a single thing without a 'this game costs 80 us dollars' watermark i'll eat them alive. i am a die hard mario kart player and i cannot understand why you would ever care. the gimmicks arent even that good who the fuck puts wall jumping in a racing game. do not fucking buy this do not fucking tell nintendo that they can charge this much and people will play it anyway come ON

It's very fashionable for people who live in the city I currently live in to hate it. This is very interesting to me, as someone who grew up in Denver and hated it but it wasn't considered fashionable to have that opinion there.
