#Susi tld

[womp-womp-waa]

Susi promised Fai that she would protect her, that she would be her sister. But she failed, she was gone and so were the others. They could be dead, they could be gone and she'll never see Fai again. They should be fine though, right? She did what she was supposed to, she broke the tablet, she lost her arm. So they'll be safe right? She'll get to see Fai again, right?

Right???

I drew Susi as the Ice Archer!

This was kind of obvious choice. There's like, four ice-related units in the game, and since I didn't particularly want to draw Susi as a strange giant or a bearded Norse deity, it came down to Ice Archer or Ice Mage, and I just like the Archer's design better.

I'm actually really, REALLY happy with how this came out. I think it's the first thing I've drawn that I consider to be above simply "not bad" and is actually good. I don't have that much experience drawing, and I keep staring at this image in disbelief, thinking, "No way. I'm not that good of an artist, I couldn't have made this. Nuh-uh." But I did. I made this, and it feels wonderful.

(I have to give a tremendous thanks to ryttyr on the SRS discord for giving me feedback on what I accidentally did right (that I will now know to do on purpose!), and how bows are supposed to flex when you pull back the string.)

EXCUSE THE CRAPPY DIAGRAM!!!

ok so, my current theory for tld is that theyre stuck in a bit of a cycle (skraunt´s "you die time and time again"), in which skraunt is either the only one, or one of the few- who remember the previous ones! the change in this current timeline, was that Susi got to live, and we are yet to find out the full consequences of that!

now i do believe the tsoki gang is from the exact same timeline as our main characters. With the information we have this could very well not be the case, but personally i think that having them be "doomed by the narrative" in the sense that the beggining of the war is inevitable in the current timeline not only DESPITE their struggle against fate, but BECAUSE of it is a really interesting choice that pickles my brain heheh

still, Menter sending the tsoki gang back in time with hindsight 20/20 (multiplied by the number of eyes hfhgfhghfhd) probably points towards all these events needing to happen because thats the way they happened, and also that the alternative timeline where they didnt would be *worse*-

Salutations™!!

The BCPF and I did go to Underdog Records yesterday but we were out of our house from 10a until 10p and didn’t get to listen to any records. I just put them in my Discogs and that will be tomorrow’s post. Today, however, I have to recap an awesome Saturday.

  Huevos Rancheros

Young Cardinal Breakfast

We started with breakfast at the brand-new Young Cardinal Cafe on Fourth Street, downtown. I had eaten there the day before for their first day and knew that I had to take The BCPF so she could try it. Great food, great quantity and great price. All a plus! I had the Huevos Rancheros and she had the Young Cardinal Breakfast.

We then went to Underdog Records and scored a huge haul but we didn’t get to come home to listen to any of it, as I stated earlier.

It was time to go judge The Big Sip’s Mac-n-Cheese festival. We had a lot of mac-n-chz and a lot of beer and spirits. A lot of both!! We met up with some good friends, we met some new friends and we just had a grand ol’ time. I got to sing on stage a little with Doug Davis (yes that Doug Davis), which is never a bad thing. But, eating a big breakfast and then all that mac-n-cheese? What was I thinking?

Then it was on to the annual TLD Post-Holiday/Anniversary Party at Finnigan’s Wake. We had a gracious host in Opie and our server Rachael, whom I called Rachael-By-The-Way (inside joke), took amazing care of us. We ended up with about 22 people, which is where I was hoping to have it. Only Bethany and Tracy were there from any of the Network shows but I’ll admit that I really didn’t put a lot of backing behind promoting it.

First, I had forgotten to even schedule it and then I forgot to promote it outside of the invitations on the first day. It wasn’t a lack of want or interest, I have just been slammed and that’s how it goes. That’s also what we’d call “careful what you wish for.” But, I’ve no complaints.

I want to thank Bethany, her daughter Bri; West End Poke/Burke Street Pizza/Quiet Pint/Uncle Buzzy’s (RIP) owner Dave Hillman and his lady friend Susie (or Suzy); The TLD Beer Guru C. Jay Platt and the Barley Babe Dory; Tracy and her date, Sean; Jordan Googe; Teleporter Extraordinaire Jeff Davids and his wife, Lynda’ my dear friend Elizabeth Nance; Maria and Rich Holbein; Brad and Faith Ward; Dale Cole; Kevin Heath; Angela and Hector Ruiz for coming to celebrate with me.

Danielle planned to come but one of the perils of owning a business is that you have to be there for it first and foremost. She was caught up at work. The Beer Dads both had prior commitments, Ray from TMWATT had a pastor’s retreat, Ty from Fan Interference had a WF softball game to call, and Apartment 5B’s Jeff Evans and Rory… well, I’m not really sure where they were, but I’m sure they were doing something important.

I am so proud of my “little podcast that could” and am very proud of what it has become. I look forward to another 10 years.

One of the coolest things (of the many cool things) that happened yesterday was being introduced to someone who realized that I was from the podcast that she had just listened to. She pulled up her phone to show me that she was subscribed to TLD and since I had on my shirt, we had to take a pic of it. I can’t remember her name and I hate that, but it’s cool that I got to meet her.

  Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out!
