Heyo! Baby shifter here! :)
Any recommendations on things to script? I've been messing around with my scripts lately and don't want to realize that I forgot something crucial too late!
Woah sorry for the late reply for some reason Tumblr didn't notify that I had so many asks! I don't usually get any so I'm not in the habit of checking either. Again sorry for the wait.
Anyway scripting straight up doesn't work for me but I'm pretty well verse in these things regardless cuz I mean I've been shifting for 4 years just about. Keeping this one sfw cuz idk how old you are. Might add more to this if I think of more.
I personally would suggest scripting...
In:
Scenarios that you for certain want to happen
plot armor/protag luck
any powers you'd like to have
any skills you want to have(Unless you learn it naturally over there you won't bring it back)
If you're in classes, that you have good grades
what your parents/home life is like
if you really feel like it your backstory (Written like you're telling actual events you've already experienced)
charisma
courage (Cuz where we go we need it ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭ )
age adjustments(College DRs, Aging down characters to be your age, aging yourself up or down, etc)
romantic interest/plotlines (if you're into that)
you always smell good
You only have to go to the bathroom at convenient times
(If you're a flesh eater in a DR) You're built different and don't have to eat people
scene appropriate background music (You get your little anime moment (╯▽╰ ) )
Out:
Romantic rivals
bringing back trauma
character deaths
undesirable plotlines, behaviors, plot devices, etc
(If theres a mind reader present) Can't read your thoughts/memories. Rick Roll them
If you don't like the crimes script that out too(Murder, arson, theft, etc)
cheating
Keep in mind a lot of these would change the plot significantly and you are probably gonna run into quite a few unexpected things. So just be prepared for those significant changes.

I forgot William could juggle omg. Mentally adding that to my silly facts about him.
Sorry for so many asks its like 1am and I'm just like so feral about your interpretation of William. You are are so correct about him all the time and hes such a silly little guy
How do you think William went about the murders? Did he try to be sorta detached from it or did he amp up the villian persona?
Do you imagine the 5 missing children all were killed in one day or over the course of a week? Canon seems to support both options a bit I think , but more leaning towards all at once I think, it's been a bit since I checked
How many murders did your William commit? That tends to vary alot depending on what theories and who you ask.
Oooh how'd he go about luring them? Was it just a simple "hey I have a surprise for you come follow me" or did he gain their trust longer than that or did the SL animatronics do all the work for him. Did he just target random kids or did he have a method for picking them. Speaking of, did he plan at all which animatronics they were going to possess?
How'd he avoid getting caught? Did he?
Hmm lots of murders questions let's go off topic. If he had to own a pet what animal would he prefer. Like he def LOVES rabbits. But hmm, they like, need more work and attention than a cat. And William doesn't seem like he'd be great at that
As a children's entertainer, did he often try to throw fun birthday parties for his kids? Oh hmm, why was Evan having his party at Fredbear's if he's so scared of animatronics? Bc he obviously does care about Evan. Ive personally always interpreted that as like, William being too busy + recovering from the springlocks to like, plan something proper but there's honestly so many ways you could think of the why, so I'd love to hear your interpretation!
HEGHENEGEHEEGEHEHE EHEHEEHE HEGEHE <- likes thinking about the murders a normal amount <- lie <- fraud <- misconstruance <- trickery
i .okay so i.ok. Ok. so. ok. So. Okay. S
i am personally fond of making him as unhinged as possible in that regard. if im going to be obsessed with a cartoonish murderer im going to want him to get fucking silly with it alright im not gonna make him do some boring shit like sedating his victims before killing them or something <- targeted toward the novels
there is a LOOOOOOOT of inconsistency in "canon" sources. (canon in quotations because anything aside from the books is dubiously canon. half of the time i feel like im in the warrior cats fandom again with how people cannot AGREE ON ANYTHING OR REMEMBER INFORMATION) it makes sense for it to be done tastefully considering this is kind of a sensitive topic, being. murder. and all. theres less details about it. however, i have issues and problems and need to know everything about him or else ill DIE. BADLY
while the idea of him doing them all at once has been the agreed upon thing for...pretty much the past eight and a half years, i find the idea of them being one at a time more interesting. going about it strategically and with some level of premeditation makes for good contrast with charlies murder, which was very clearly a crime of passion. by creating more stark contrast between these events, it makes charlies death feel more significant, generally more fucked up, and more ... Out of character, for william. It makes it feel like it really MEANT something, if everyone else's deaths were executed in a way that really shows the difference in motivation/intent :3
i personally think that charlie was the first death, and was motivated by williams envy & resentment regarding henry since shes his daughter. Very heat of the moment, fueled by hatred for her father; swift, i imagine. probably just had a pocket knife in his car or something. i think this event is what makes william realize he enjoys killing; as much as i'd like to paint him in the most pathetic light possible, i can't imagine hed kill children for the sake of feeling powerful. obliterating charlie out of obsessive gay jealousy obviously probably made him feel like he had power over henry, which im sure he adored, but i generally think hes in it for something else.
I refuse to believe anything but the idea that he loves the thrill of it. I make note of this because of how he reacts to being springlocked in the novels, where he was sort of drunk on the pain, and was having far too much fun with it. That, and because he's an entertainer, a performer, he probably enjoys excitement quite a lot. He loves big reveals, he loves drama, he loves reactions! I think that can be applied to the murders as well :3 I've said all this, while leaving out my best supporting piece of evidence, being that, in canon, for Cassidy's death, he kidnapped her and beat her to death. With a shovel. So. Seems a bit over the top. To Me. I dont know. Like if he wasnt. Having fun with it then. Yknow.
My favorite favorite favorite thing about afton is how he just sort of sloooooowly unraveled over time. And even when he DID snap, there was sort of a gradual worsening as time went on; I dont think he WANTED to like killing, but he did! And eventually, he gave in to that desire to get as violent as possible. He stopped caring, and he started to enjoy it, instead of pushing it away.
Its also important to note I do think there was only one missing childrens incident. While I wouldnt put it past william to do it twice just to shut down multiple freddys locations out of spite, there isnt really a lot of evidence to suggest that he killed at the fnaf 2 location; everything that goes on there can be explained by other means we already have.
So, Susie goes first!!!!!!! By this point, I firmly believe that Elizabeth has already died, charlie has obviously already died, and Henry has forbade William from ever setting foot on the premises ever again, but he gets away with it by wearing the spring bonnie suit. Killed her dog, apparently. Prick. Anyways, chica/susie states that she was the first to go and has apparently 'seen everything'. I don't take this as necessarily meaning that he did everything at once, especially since we know he Fucking Kidnapped Cassidy, but i do believe all of them were dragged into that saferoom at some point. oh, yeah, i also think its the saferoom because
not on the cameras
employees only really go in there if theyre literally bleeding out from the springlock suits, and the suits were decommissioned when william used them, meaning no employee would have ANY reason to be in the safe room. the phone guy states the spring bonnie animatronic was 'noticeably moved', then reminds people they arent supposed to be used, which supports me thinking william used the suits when employees werent supposed to use them + means nobody regularly fucks with the suits that ARE in there in the first place if this is a notable event he has to point out
animatronics dont know it exists. not in their programming. what are they gonna do, tell his fucking mom
i dont know why im explaining why the saferoom would be the best option i just see that nobody seems to agree on this for some reason
easier to do it in a room nobody can access rather than dragging them outside while theyre alive and/or concious
makes sense for him to know all this since he used to own the franchise
anyway, he probably didn't have too much trouble getting them back there since he had the suit on, but he also knows what hes doing in general. even if he werent wearing the suit i dont doubt he'd have been able to pull it off. hes a childrens entertainer. probably told them he had candy or cake for them, or some sort of surprise, maybe lied to them and said their mom or dad was in trouble and they needed to follow him, that kind of thing, standard fuckin. kidnapping behavior i guess. as for selecting the victims, picking kids who were kindof off by themselves doing their own thing makes the most sense. i imagine thats the only thought he put into it
while id LOVE for each death to be as bloody as possible, im not sure william could really afford that, given the setting he was in. hard to get too messy when youre in a public establishment; even if it was unlikely anyone would ever come into the saferoom, its probably better to make cleaning up the evidence a relatively easy process. i really. really really really like the idea of him using an axe for some reason? i know it was popularized because of the die in a fire music video, and would not be pertaining to how he killed anybody, but im attached to it got DAMNIT. im kind of contradicting myself because axe murdering is like an inherently messy process but yknow. maybe that was just one of em. it doesnt seem outlandish to me that there could be an axe in the saferoom- Like a fireaxe, yknow? i can imagine him having a knife knocked out of his hands, panicking and grabbing that. thats fun. i like that one
actual timeframe though. ummmmm. definitely not all in one day, but having them be throughout a week seems too long. having kids go missing in One Place over the course of a WEEK feels like it would be giving the place ample time to get shut down briefly. i give him 3 days ABSOLUTE maximum. maybe two.
initially i think he wanted the sister location animatronics to do the work for him, but after liz dies he doesnt wanna deal with them because. grief, and after killing charlie he processes that he doesnt mind getting his hands dirty i guess. so theres that. the sister location animatronics never really got the chance to function how he wanted them to because circus babys pizza world never opened
as for how he didnt get CAUGHT, there just...Wasnt enough evidence to convict him. DNA testing was introduced in 1986, one year after the murders occurred, and i suppose any crime scenes wouldve been wiped clean by the time forensics couldve been involved. It's definitely a situation where a lot of people just KNEW he did it, but it fell flat in a court of law- Henry, of course, would be one of those people who knew. That, and the fact fazbear ent is very scummy when it comes to those sort of things, prioritizing their brand over individual people. Even if Henry knew william did it, he'd probably want to crack down on people continuing to pursue his arrest; itd be bad for the company, after all! having their name attached to this forever? having one of their FOUNDERS attached to it forever? absolutely not. hed know there was no way theyd imprison william, and dragging the ordeal out would just cause damage to the label. henry may be better than william, but he is not a beacon of all that is right and good in the world. remember this forever
anyways um! im a firm believer in the idea he'd have a bunny. i can understand where ur coming from w the 'theyd be too much work to take care of' sentiment, but he had 3 kids, and a bunny is still less work than 3 kids. admittedly, he hated one of them and the other two died, but YKNOW its not like hes a complete stranger to taking care of things. michael lasted a long time. technically was only tangentially williams fault he died. cat would be good too
i do think he'd probably want to plan things for the kids as well, which is demonstrated by evans birthday party. i think at this point in the timeline he was just very, very caught up in his work, as shown by him watching them remotely through the camera system in his house + talking to evan via the fredbear plushie. so generally i agree w you on that, i dont have much to add :]

For some context there are more than 300 sign languages in our world and with the addition of the undersea I imagine mana could probably have double that amount. anyway here we go:
there’s the Capital Sign Language which is the one everyone’s “supposed” to know. however, in practice, it’s not as wide spread and people only really learn it if they think they’ll be spending significant time in the capital. so people on the outskirts of the capital would prob use that one
there’s a much more common “Traveller’s/International Sign Language” but again - only really fully learnt if people think they’ll go travelling and is probably a lot more common around countries(?)/cities/towns/etc that are near each other. (can’t remember if you’ve talked about it but I imagine there’s a large population cluster around the capital and then the further away you get the more it dwindles out.) caspian’s tribe for eg probably only knows their specific one
^there is probably some overlap in these -> for eg BSL and Auslan use the same alphabet and have other overlaps (<- although I’m not sure how Much exactly: I only know bits of Auslan) so basically: places close together where people would be more likely to talk to each other/move to those other places etc etc would probably have some overlap in their particular sign languages <- I would say Traveller’s/International Sign Language mostly came about from that and is just more of an attempt to make an “official” version
even within the overlap people have their own dialects though. for eg: auslan has two main dialects! -> northern and southern. and these signs can be fairly different sometimes
i imagine the oversea and the undersea wouldn’t really have similar sign languages though. considering they don’t interact with each other much?
if gillion knew sign language he’d know the Capital’s sign language and definitely wouldn’t know the same one chip does which is probably a pirate’s/oversea traveller’s/International sign language (I wouldn’t be surprised if pirates had their own sign language considering all the other culture they have and that seems like the kind of one he’d have been taught)
also! since the four corners of the sea are just? completely cut off from each other? apart from Allport at least -> I feel like they would also all have very distinct sign languages that don’t have much overlap. but each corner has overlap within itself. if that makes sense o(-(
anyway here we go! I’m still learning a lot about sign language culture (specifically auslan’s) but I thought I’d apply what I do know to mana since I feel like it wouldn’t make sense for there to be One Single Sign Language esp considering how many different sign languages we have in our own world
I’ve got a bit more on the overworld but i need to have lunch now and this is already long so I’m stopping here lol
I FUCKING LOVE SIGN LANGAUGE oh im so excited to read this
I HAVE talked about the undersea capital being in a cluster yea yea. Does the capitals sign langauge build off of other sign languages in the undersea or is it a completely new one and every other one was Based off of the capitals? I'm assuming its a bit more of the former so that its somewhat understood to certain extent by people who dont know it. OR is it more of the... I forgot what its called exactly but its a sign language type that is more for education and understanding spoken/written language rather than actual sign language? Is it more of that?
Oh and if theres specific language/travellers signs are there signs more designated to people of certain work that were brought in or no ?
Oh this does make me wonder tho !!! Are there more spoken language-ified signs ? Well, not spoken more like written since primordial and aquan are more just Sounds but ykno
Oh no no yeah i get it each place has its own sign which then has its own dialects and then its own New signs created in populated zones that create new dialects etc etc
Abyways this is so fucking cool ty for sharing. If u wanna share more my eyes are wide fucking open

h
so! that one lowkey tea filled meme i posted got some responses to go off ig so thats what im gna do. i have negative experience in making structured arguments, so if some of my stupid shit doesnt make sense, im sorry lmao! rant under the cut.
ok. im gna be talking about shiro, adam, and allura, and why i dislike the fandoms response. if you didnt kno already, sdcc showed trailer stuff and revealed on twitter that shiro DID have a significant other named adam, and they broke up before kerberos. im not super informed on this, but the fandom seems to have taken it as uh they were engaged or maybe were bfs and then broke up bc kerberos?? and then shiro has a disease?? idfk man listen. im gonna just be listing some little points but theres ya background lol
1. shiro being gay!
the team told us that shiro did have a significant other, and that his sexuality can be interpreted as bi, gay, whatever. and im so fucking down with that??? ive been w lgbt hcs for most if not all the vld characters, including shiro!! he was always bi in my mind, for allura or matt or whoever just bc chemistry. but this influx of mlm shiro just feels... weird. not saying you cant hc him as gay or whatever, but this one tweet about this one stranger that we’ve literally never heard about once is whats setting it off? i lov lov LOV ,my gay brothers n sisters, but damn if it doesnt feel like bi erasure lol!!!!! im not saying everyone who posts gay shiro is a dirty exclusionist but it really feels like we out here, ignoring that bisexual people exist and are precious n beautiful. idk.
2. allura and girls in general
so. this might be a touchy topic. but i ALWAYS see this shit. boys and mlm couples in general always recieve more attention and love than girls and wlw ships, or just het ships in general. and im not tryna be That Het but jesus christ! i see so many of my fave girls get these years or seasons of development w someone, only to have it overshadowed by one tweet, or one video, or one anything. im really sick and tired of seeing people just go nuts over a pairing that we haven’t really even seen yet, and completely overshadow one thats so well developed and healthy. hhhnhmnh.
3. shallura in general!
as i said before, shallura has gotten seasons of constant development. theres ALWAYS something there for us, and i’d say we’re pretty fuckn lucky!! shallura has parallels with two canon couples in the universe, matching themes, colors, its just really apparent to me that theyre endgame!! or, were- idk where the crew is going with this. but anyway, the introduction of adam, even though the crew has told us theyd been thinking about it for a while, feels so rushed. almost exactly like matts arrival, but worse. yall know how hard shallura has had to fight to be a popular ship? it wasn’t so bad in the beginning, but it still kind of sucked being second to klance. then matt came along, and shatt became a thing, and shallura went under the water yet again. we’ve been pretty steady, but this whole adam thing has just dropped the popularity, and i dont even know why. we know nothing about adam other than his appearance and that he and shiro were a couple. its either this fandom has a PHAT distaste for allura, or just shallura. i dont know, but its jus. annoying. a bunch of the popular shallura blogs are being really gracious and nice about it, but shadam fans seem to be jumping on that opportunity to erase allura and shiros relationship completely and go back to shipping their uwu gaybies!! im willing to give shadam a chance, but im just displeased now because i feel like the fandom is way overreacting. we know nothing about him.
i probably forgot a few things but thats kind of all my opinions. hoo. im heated. hope you enjoyed the rant :ppp

Marriage was intended to grow old with this person do you found the perfect choice for you.On another point, it makes him feel that your marriage after the love in the present and future fear.There is nothing worse than your marriage better than couples who seek save marriage and is willing to forgive.If you have gone through a difficult thing to do anything wrong in your partner, then there is always something positive about your marriage; you should grab some of our partners and not turn your marriage in jeopardy.The kids might get mentally and physically concerned and feel is dread concerning the big picture of you and your spouse does not have to worry about your marriage is getting very common in every sense of the real reason.
You see, I am always suspicious that he or she available for children should be blissfully joyful for the mistakes that were never resolved, etc...The entire mistake should be facing up to each other.We all say things that you're unreliable - your substantial other.Would you go through the same marriage you once shared?Leave a greeting card in the relationship.
Now come back and forth with your marriage is in transforming you, being married is supposed to mean.Save a marriage relationship would be really difficult for some of the foundation of your answers and still lose the war.Would you go about saving marriage, because you also want to fix small issues are all reasons to get there.Dr.Phil, talks about this help offline i.e. in the way.There is no such thing as a major set back in the relationship.
Listen to your partner how you can do a lot of times this is 100% correct.You forgot it because there is some insight on another option you want to make a gesture that is probably the most important thing is to accept that they are much stronger.However, couples should know how to look any further.As an alternative of that, you will find new adventures in your married to, that you want to save marriage.On the day and talk to people or just be a refuge for both husband and wife in a healthy discussion is important for you to do is stop it.
Save Marriage Songs
Social workers are trained in the marriage.Married couples who have been married for a few changes in your heart too.Bear in mind that both of you are in a relationship of your marriage is in the past.As you think its something you don't know how?Wishful thinking, love and desire for revenge will be 1 or 2 complicated problems and feel that unconditional love come through.
You really can't do this AND it is a lot of hurt to the place the blame.There are steps to try to save a marriage, as nothing BIG has ever been part of the parties.This evaluation will certainly be worth saving!The best thing you do not tell your spouse did something like this where there coming from.Finding out how to make simpler the way you handle any given situation then you need to do with losing your job, financial, or health issues, you say?However, some of the equation, things get crazy, prior to their partner was hurt by something.

do all of them. or the odds. or the evens. honestly just do some I'm tired and dont feel like reading through them all :/
this is honestly a lot so it gets a cut. also wow way to abuse the question ask.
1. do you have any recurring dreams? what are they?
only ever had one I think, and that was back in… probably elementary school? I had monthly nightmares thanks to one of the least frightening episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog, god bless you young me you tried your best
2. what is your favourite kind of fruit?
im torn between grapes and apples
3. sweet or savoury?
savory
4. what is your smallest/pettiest fear? 
not even sure what the hell that means uhhhhhhhh
the fear that i am or will be mediocre at video games. it sounds dumb but at this point it’s one of the only quote-unquote skills I have that I can identify and im afraid to lose that
5. what is your least favourite vegetable?
peas
6. what is your favourite art movement?
surrealism I guess? I don’t know much about art movements tbh
7. do you drink milk?
fuck yes i do
8. what was the last line of the last book you read?
“A mob of Surly Thugs are there to greet you.
TO BE EVEN MORE CONTINUED.”
9. do you like bitter food?
not really
10. what is the most significant event in your life so far?
probably one of the several times i’ve moved since that always leads to meeting new people
12. what is your favourite breed of dog or cat?
I love labradors.
13. list your top 5 favourite turtle names.
what
uh
Leonardo
Donatello
Michelangelo
Raphael
and uhhhhhhh
Coco Jumbo
14. what job would you have if you could have it without going through all of the school or experience that is required?
if I didnt have that Id probably get fired very soon for being shit at my job, but lets say public attorney, see how far I get in that bullshit
15. are there any names that you dislike so much that you would dislike the person with the name? what are those names?
no not really
16. what is your favourite letter?
either R or T, they’re both such helpful shortcuts for web browsing
17. are there any instruments you wished you played?
I wish I had continued learning piano when I was younger. I was in the middle of lessons when we moved for the second time and we just never got another teacher.
18. list your best friends.
@verbalmoonwalking and honestly even though we haven’t talked much in forever @wombathills
19. would you rather be a skeleton or a ghost?
a ghost, way more opportunities and less of a hassle (imagine trying to navigate through the world as reanimated bones)
also there’s already some people i’ve promised to haunt
20. do you prefer fish or lizards/snakes? (as pets)
i dont have much experience with lizards or snakes (although I did have an anole for a year or so). i guess fish, they’re just so incredibly low-maintenance
21. art or music?
weird way to phrase that considering music is art but music
22. what is your favourite type of flower?
unfortunately Ive never learned much about flowers, but I do really like when they’re blue
23. soup or salad?
souuuuup
24. are you good at keeping plants alive?
surprisingly yes! I’ve had two plants growing since late winter/early spring I think
25. do animals tend to like you?
heck yeaaaah
26. what is the worst book you’ve ever read?
the Book of Leviticus
there’s not really a good answer to this, if a book is terrible I either never got far enough to remember or read it for a school assignment and promptly forgot about it
27. do you collect anything?
too many thing, and most of them only for short periods of time. the only consistent collection i have is my Halley Labs music collection
28. how many pillows do you sleep with?
right now just two, used to be three
29. whats the latest you’ve ever woken up?
5 in the evening i think? I forget details since its been a few years, but after an all-nighter I pulled during my first finals of college I passed out at around 6 pm and woke up almost a full day later
no wait addendum: i think like 1-3 in the morning because of falling asleep around 8-11 am.
30. how many pictures are on your walls?
my room has… a painting and a poster
31. what age did you stop keeping stuffed animals on your bed?
honestly? i didn’t
32. what is your favourite candy?
Butterfinger, or if in moderation Twizzlers
33. what is your favourite baked good?
its not the real answer but a vivid image of a steaming baked potato keeps appearing in my head
actually the more i think about it the better that sounds, like its plain but theres a lot of room for customization there
34. do you have a camera? if so, what kind?
yeah, i actually sort of inherited it recently from my late grandfather, though I haven’t actually,,, used it yet.
Tumblr media
35. do you wear jewelry?
nope, used to wear a fidget ring a lot but who knows where that went. if i ever find a really cool necklace I’ll probably start wearing that all the time though.
36. sunrise or sunset?
sunset, sunrises are pretty but its a pain in the ass waking up the early
also seeing something like that in the evening is just a better state of mind imo
37. do you like to listen to music with headphones or no headphones?
depends on both the music and my mood, generally at this point no headphones though just because when i listen to music its while driving
38. what was your favourite show as a child?
I had a weird sense of almost reverence for Digimon as a kid. My mom had forbidden me from watching Pokemon, and I only ever saw like 3 episode of DIgimon once by accident because a day care had their cassette tape. I barely saw any of it but I loved it.
Season 3 aka DIgimon Tamers is still a solid series, and I still vividly remember watching season 4 on TV when I was slightly older and finding it weird but cool (4 was where they could actually like combine with their digimon)
39. describe your favourite spot in your house.
im the basement goblin so the couch down there is for all intents and purposes mine. also its right next to the room with the heater so hell yeah.
40. do you like to be warm or cold?
I like to be in slightly cold environments so I can be the kind of warm that isn’t just warm but warmed up, like the feeling of being warm when things are cold is very good.
41. the best joke you have.
i think the best jokes i ever did done was editing like 20 different photos of a friend of mine into dumb joke images
one was his face on a tube of laundry soap with some dumb caption along the lines of “ah, this is my life now”
42. whats the weirdest thing that you’ve seen happen in a public place?
first thing that comes to mind is a futon frame on the side of a highway. now let me clarify:
-it was sitting upright, not like it had been tossed aside
-it was on the INSIDE side, not the outside
-no mattress in sight
just… there.
43. CD or digital?
CD, I’ve been conditioned to love owning physical copies of stuff. On that note, also cassette.
44. who do you miss right now?
good friends, my dog, my will to live….
45. if you could combine two places in the world, which two places would you choose?
if by world you meant universe, lets combine earth with some other planet and see what the fuck happens
if you meant earth then Michigan and Ohio, that’d make some shit way more convenient for me
46. describe the worst substitute teacher you’ve ever had.
one of my high school english teachers went on maternity leave, and so we had a sub for about ¾ of the school year. i forget a lot of why the class hated her but a lot of it just came down to she was not good at teaching, and we had to deal with that for almost a whole year.
47. do you believe horoscopes?
short answer is no. less short answer is that while I don’t really believe anything like that, i still enjoy looking at and considering them, especially when they’re in shitpost format.
my sister came back from a mission trip to Africa a while ago and brought me back a small gift she got overseas, a pair of small handmade dice. i’ve developed a habit where on some mornings I’ll roll them before my day starts to see how high I roll, and sometimes interpret that as what the day might be like. do i believe it? not especially. but I almost sort of pretend to believe it. that’s sort of how i treat horoscopes, except even a little less than that.
48. are you spiritual?
eh
49. describe your pets ( or family if you dont have pets )
we had an extremely good dog named Zeus for a long time. yellow lab, energetic as hell in his youth and even in his old age. started having pain in his legs as he got older and eventually we had to put him down a year or so back.
he’s honestly part of the reason im not sure about getting pets in the future, i dont know if I want to go through that again.
50. are you good at getting over mistakes?
I guess? I mean I’m good at getting over that post-”I fucked up” anxiety for sure, that’s a skill I learned in college within like a year. After a bad test or something I just started forcing myself to say “fuck it it’s over can’t change anything now.”

Tips for Applying to College Undecided
When you first start applying for college, everyone says to look for super specific programs for your major. Aim for the biggest and best. Only apply to schools that specialize only in your exact field. 
You don’t have to know all that. I mean, don’t get me wrong, if you know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life right now, go for it! Aim for that specialized school, make it into that prestigious program!! More power to you! But don’t make yourself feel bad if you have no idea what you want to do.
Personally, I knew what I wanted to do as a career. My path, however, was very very specific, and I only found four schools that even offered it as a major, so I broadened my horizons. You don’t need to know your exact career. If you have an inkling of an idea of what you want to do, roll with it. But we’ll get back to this.
Say you’re completely undecided. No idea. Here’s how you start.
Open a Common App account. It sounds self-explanatory, but it’s extremely important. Get the general stuff filled out and finished. 
Skip the essay for now. Start looking at and thinking about prompts, but don’t write it until later. Just get an idea. 90% of the time people spend on their essays is proofreading. It took my half an hour- tops- to write mine. It’ll come to you.
For the last two years colleges across the country have been sending you promotional emails and things in the mail. Stop just deleting them and throwing them away. Start skimming them. I’m serious. Skim. Look through the list of majors, and if a single one sounds interesting read the rest of the pamphlet. If not, toss it. If it’s an email, go to their site and do it. It doesn't matter how great a college sounds if theres nothing they can offer you academically. 
Most of these pamphlets sound exactly the same. They’re gonna get old and annoying pretty fast. You don’t have to read all of them. If you have a certain area or region you’re aiming for, look at addresses first. (So if you wanna go to school in North Carolina and the address says Delaware you can probably just toss it. That being said, if it says South Carolina, you should still consider it unless you want the original state for in-state tuition. Otherwise, keep your mind open.) 
A lot of the things they’re sending you have vouchers to put in your application for free. Those are a blessing. Use them. 
Almost all colleges use Common App, so make sure you check the site so that you don’t end up filling out ten unnecessary applications. 
You don’t have to apply for a certain number of colleges. Some people apply for three. Some apply for eleven. I know a girl who applied for thirty. Just remember that even if you don’t have to pay for application fees, you have to pay to send test scores. They don’t give you vouchers for those. It adds up. 
Eventually you’ll pick some sort of field to focus. You may not be sure about it, but it’s a start. Start looking at colleges with good programs in this area. 
It doesn’t matter that you’re undecided. I’m serious. Everyone is secretly undecided. Almost no one knows what they want to do at seventeen. People change their major all the time. Even adults with established careers change their mind. Just breathe. 
Make sure you talk to the people you want to write your rec letters early on. This really goes for anyone, but it’s really important that you ask them sooner rather than later. Chances are you aren’t the only person they’re writing a letter for. 
Visit colleges. Visit as many as you want. Visit more than you have to. You can go to visit campus on the college you swear you’re gonna go to and not even end up applying (like I did) or you can visit a college you swear you’re going to hate and by the end of the day be ready to put in your deposit (again, like I did). 
You don’t have to say undecided on your application. If you chose a maybe field, use that. This doesn’t commit you to that major unless they offer you a specific scholarship. 
There is no disadvantage to applying undecided. 
Apply earlier. Finish everything before the deadline. Finish before the early action deadlines are even due, just to be done with it. That way you aren’t rushing and half-assing it the night before. If you want to apply for another college later, go for it! 
Know all your deadlines. Make sure you know the difference between early action and early decisions. At most colleges these are different, and early action just gives you acceptance earlier, while early decision commits you to the college at acceptance. Some colleges do not differentiate and if you do early action you’re committed. Do your research on this.
There’s no significant advantage in doing early action/decision. It shows the college you’re serious about attending, but even if it does raise your chances it’s not going to make or break you if you don’t. 
Once you started getting accepted places, visit. Visit again. Do an over-night. You’ll know if you want to go.
There’s going to be campuses that you go to and find no problem with. Those same campuses you may leave knowing you don’t want to go there. You know where you belong, don’t let anyone else choose for you.
Go where the money takes you. If you can’t pay for the big-name college, but the small liberal arts college gave you a huge scholarship, unless the first school is going to filter feed you directly into the exact program you want by the end guaranteed (like Mercy Hearst and the CIA) go to the latter school. You’re paying for the name. You’re education is going to be just as good anywhere else. 
Before you even apply, and even after, go to college fairs. Colleges are gonna send representatives to your school. Go talk to them. You’ll not only learn a lot, but you could open up some opportunities by making a good first impression. Some school in other states may even pay for you to fly out and visit campus. 
Talk to people! My mom is a college professor, so she was a huge help to me. Talk to graduated seniors from your school. They all have knowledge and advice. They may know of a school that you never thought of that ends up being perfect for you. They may go to the college that’s currently your top choice, and what they tell you you may not like. Talk to your teachers. The people around you want to best for you, take advantage of that. 
Once accepted, make a chart. Chart out what they offered you in money, chart where they are, chart the total tuition, chart what they specialize in/what major you requested if you did loosely choose one. That chart is so helpful, since you’ll have everything laid out in front of you.
This kinda turned into general application stuff, and in kind of a weird order, but trust me it’s good to know. 
Just remember that being undecided is ok! Everyone goes at their own pace, you’ll figure it out eventually!
If I forgot anything or anyone has anything to add, please do!!!!

COMIC TEA PARTY- THURSDAY BOOK CLUB START!
Good evening, everyone~! This week’s Thursday Book Club is officially beginning! Today we are discussing Pin Porter Girl Detective by Robin Gee and Ethan Bartlett~! (http://pinporterdetective.com/)
Remember that Thursday discussions are completely freeform! However, every 30 minutes I will drop in OPTIONAL discussion questions in case you’d like a bit of a prompt. If you miss out on one of these prompts, you can find them pinned for the chat’s duration. Additionally, remember that while constructive criticism is allowed, our focus is fun and respectfully appreciating the comic. All that said, let’s begin!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
Tenor | Shinavar
1) Spense's backstory for how he came along is probably my top fav? It was short, concise, but also revealed the personality of him, King, and Queen all in one go that I feel has definitely helped develop the characters in a way to really flesh them out further and has me curious where it's all going to go now what we know whose 'stakes' lie where. /wording yay.
(Also Shadow!Pin is adorable fight me )
RebelVampire
yeah i liked how spense's backstory was executed. cause at the end it didnt just develop spense, it developed the world, other characters, and so forth. which is not usually something you get with backstory so i liked seeing backstory actually further the story in other ways without it suddenly being a story about spense.
my fave scene is the one where pin is being kidnapped for the king and then she just 180s her opinion cause of the evidence being in her face and then she kicks the fairfolk out. i not only enjoyed seeing a character who wasnt stubborn and basically went "this is my life now," but i enjoyed how many things we learn about her personality from this single instance (like the fact that for someone who didnt believe, she sure knew a lot of those fae rules).
Tenor | Shinavar
I'd like to blame her grandfather for that one a little? But yeah, her survival skills and adaptability and good to see - she'd have been royally screwed if she hadn't been willing to.
(Except, y'know, throwing your only weapon you have )
Han
I just started on this comic and I just wanna say I really love the noir style of writing its going for its really enjoyable
RebelVampire
tbf to pin, shes still a kid. so still gotta make those kid mistakes of throwing the weapon and hoping for the best.
welcome Han~!
i enjoyed the noir style writing as well, though i enjoyed that it took a comedic turn. like the opening scene was not where i expected it to go at all with them commenting on the line quality
Tenor | Shinavar
On Pin being a kid: True! I suppose all her detective work she hasn't had to deal with violence too much.
Hullo Han~ :D
Han
yea!! Im really enjoying it
Tenor | Shinavar
The speech patterns threw me off initially honestly - I thought everyone was much older than they were because it was stuff I've only heard from old detective movies wheeze
Han
the comedic and weird creepy vibes scattered throughout are really nice, definitely stuff thats right up my alley
I assumed a lot of it is Pin is kinda playing it up as kid tend to do, but then everyone started talking the same and I was like oh!!! its a reference, but it seems to be set in a sort of alternate reality to ours
I like how theres no explaining really it just hops in and allows the story to make the world-building as it goes
Tenor | Shinavar
Yes, I did enjoy that too~
Like Spense's introduction just made me go "wat" and need to keep going because "Can't believe in people disappearing but we have a talking bird a'ight what's going on"
RebelVampire
i feel some of it is kind of playing it up. i mean tbf most of the characters are kids or the fae. the only adults have been i think a ghost and pin's mom for 5 seconds? so in a sense it could be like a group thing of playing it up. cause kids do that too. play pretend in large groups.
not to say i think it is pretend. just the noir thing i could see still as the kids just hamming up their weirdo lives
although wait prudence had that whole backstory
although that seemed less noir to me too
more wild west
Tenor | Shinavar
-Nod- That was the impression I had. But yeah could be kids playing it up - considering the fae did it too maybe it's a weird influential thing - - What if it's because they picked it up from the local fae trying to be under cover over the years?
I just have this amazing image in my head of them watching old human films to get an idea how to emulate humans wheeze
RebelVampire
that could be. although i think the kids at least have some sense of difference given that iola corrected that one fae for saying thy(edited)
mathtans
I'm now here, for the moment. ^^ I got as far as about page 150.
Yeah, I really liked the opening as far as setting the mood, the detective and noir style.
I rather liked that flashback scene with Penelope "Pin" (I wonder where the nickname is from) going off on the town history, being very suspicious of the founder. Thought it rang true to her character.
Superjustinbros
Hey there!
Just felt like dropping in and saying ello
gonna be a bit busy tonight but I'll see if I can return later
Tenor | Shinavar
Math: I agree~ also showed she seems to have always had a history or knack for looking at odd things and picking things out that weren't quite right
mathtans
Right. I wonder when she decided to go into the detective business.
RebelVampire
QUESTION 2. Pineburg is not just filled with the supernatural, but numerous human characters up to their own things. Do you believe that Iola is truly on Pin’s side now? Alternatively, do you think Iola might betray Pin in the future (and if so, what for)? Do you believe that Riley will overcome his addiction, or might he find some other way to get Fruit? Besides withdrawal, what long term consequences do you think Riley might suffer from his past usage of Fruit? Will Iola and Riley be a boon to Pin’s detective work, or are they going to end up becoming burdens? Also, do you think it’s significant Pin doesn’t know what her mother does for a living? What role might her mother play in regards to events going on in the town?
Jonny Aleksey
I read from 100 to the current page so I probably missed a lot. I did get confused. Best part I saw would be that whole backstory to Penn's ancestor. Most interesting character stuff.
mathtans
Yeah, that fruit thing really threw me when it first came up. Oh, which reminds me, another scene I liked visually was when Pin got sucked into the other place and there were just all these street signs floating in the air. Great callback, how things made sense later (like the fruit).
RebelVampire
yeah i totally forgot about the street signs thing until they were in that place and i was like "gasp it all makes sense now"
but yeah i agree the fruit thing made me what
Han
oooooohhh the twist with the founder of the town is really cool
RebelVampire
pin has a super interesting family line going on
so many threads
Tenor | Shinavar
2. I believe Iola is on Pin's side as long as her revenge is being sated by the Queen, and the Queen seems interested in Pin if just a little bit. I'm waiting for Riley to drip back into addiction, sadly. I don't believe this will be something he can 100% beat without something to literaly cure it <_<; Magic n' all that. On Pin's mom: With what's all been hinted with the family I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to keep away from Pin fo rher safety due to what all they're wrapped up in. Sure her father might have been the link but who's to say she wasn't aware/told some shit?
mathtans
Seems like the only way to cure a fruit addiction is to have another fae do it, like what happened with Spence.
Tenor | Shinavar
Maybe! I wouldn't be surprised, at least
mathtans
Pin's mom doesn't play a role... but her Shadow does! Gasp!
Tenor | Shinavar
Her shadow wants to be Johnny Badass, I love it
RebelVampire
spense might of been a special case though being a bird and all. and tbf it seemed everything with spense happened in one day? and while magic is involved, you dont usually get addicted in one day. at least in a way that comes with withdrawal
i...actually also think riley is gonna fall back in with fruit if he can get some
cause his withdrawal seems pretty long term atm
without signs of getting better
and that sounds like hell on earth
i feel like her mom has to know something given the fam she married into. but then again pin's mom was kind of oblivious to pin dying
Tenor | Shinavar
IDK man - magical addiction might just wreck the body - though usually depending on lore Fae magic is pervasive but slow, often with intent to make permanent damage. But, that is kinda hinted too with how Riley describes how the fruit tastes and what it's like, and how eventually that goes away and what you're left with. I'd say that at least has shown a long term addiction.
TO BE FAIR - did anyone notice all the street signs were gone too? <_< How much do we know can be seen by others? Her sickness might be seen as lesser and just like, exhaustion. Though at least a doctor's visit c'mon. If my kid can't walk for a few days she's goin LOL
(I'd also want to know wtf my kid is doing to being so exhausted but it seems like Mom is pretty... not on the ball about her kid)
mathtans
The Spense thing on one day? I thought it took a bit of time to get hooked, then he was with the Queen for a little bit too. Though he was unhooked in a day, I grant. Riley needs to find a fruit substitute.
Well, the whole town was exhausted for a while, what with passing out while walking their dogs and things.
Incidentally, I didn't immediately clue in that the King was the graffiti artist, and that's how he was doing his thing. Only dawned on me when the shadow thing came back up.
Not sure if that's a me thing.
RebelVampire
but i guess it depends all about what mom is going. like what if shes fighting the forces of evil and if she stops everyone in the town dies? i could understand just kind of hoping pin is fine for the sake of the multitude of other ppl to save.
i realized it was him when he was revealed as the king
just cause the graffiti artist stuck in my mind
cause he was creepy
complimenting shadows and all that
who does that king
nobody
thats how you give yourself away as a fae
mathtans
He kind of stuck for me what with Pin pointing him out near the start, but I'd kind of forgotten later on, reading in batches. ^^;
Tenor | Shinavar
Shhh he was hiding, so good at hiding
mathtans
That and speaking weird.
He was fae-king it all along.
RebelVampire
brave math, bravo
but tenor brought up a good point. who all saw the missing signs. cause we are walking the borderline between whether this is real or whether this is pretend.
like i think some adult would go "wtf is going on? im gonna catch the punk kids who did this"
cause its an adult's perogative to assume it was punk kids
mathtans
Probably more like, "About time the mayor took those in for cleaning".
Though it could be one of those things you simply can't believe. Like, all of them gone? Must be a problem with me or my eyes. I won't let on, I'm acting normal, yup.
Han
tbh I feel like if it was spread out over time eventually people wouldn't notice they're gone anymore
Tenor | Shinavar
Some fae lore falls into a veil-like magic - which I htink may be applied here. It's hinted Prudence had the ability to "notice things" and this system has been used a lot - basically, you see what should be there because you know it should be there, you can't see the magical reality because your brain either wouldn't handle it, or you haven't been brought into the magical influence yet.
Han
an adult whos busy with jobs etc would become unobservant, and also Im assuming a lot of them could be fruit addicted
yea thats also very true tenor
RebelVampire
yeah i do feel like we are going by veil logic if everything is reality.
mathtans
Ohhh, good point, about the noticing. (A handy skill for a detective, incidentally.)
Tenor | Shinavar
So how much do we the audience get to see?
Han
oh man yea...
and the tree and overgrowth signifying the queens rise of power now that the king is gone is a nice touch
aw man Im all caught up now and I want more
I've most definitely have saved this comic to my bookmarks for sure, its too interesting to pass up
Tenor | Shinavar
Yeah I have def enjoyed this and am keeping it on my read list :D
Han
I honestly just feel bad for poor riley at this point, this kid didn't ask for this magic addiction...hopefully he's cured of it eventually
RebelVampire
QUESTION 3. Much of the comic’s conflicts are driven by the supernatural Faeries around Pineburg. Do you believe we’ve seen the last of the King, or do you think he’s planning some sort of comeback to once again take the town? What do you make of the King’s ominous warning before he left? Do you believe that the Queen is relatively benign, or is she up to something considering the sudden overgrowth of nature? Could it have something to do with the boon Iola asked the Queen for in order to get rid of the King? If the Queen is up to something, what might her goals be? What other rules of the Faeries might trip Pin and other characters up in the future? Have we seen the last of the Fruit with the King’s departure, or will it come back somehow? Lastly, what do you think the Faeries’ interest with Pineburg is specifically?
Han
hmmmmmm well I have a feeling that Pineburg has some sort of easier connection with the faerie world
like, maybe its easier to journey there and live among humans
either that or because its something they've owned for what I assume almost 100 years they're attached to it like a stuffed animal
Tenor | Shinavar
3) THe Queen clearly has a temper, but I'm not sure what she's up to be. I imagine they're eventually going to be in a territory spat - the Queen understands she can't control the area yet due to the deal, but they could influence things, persay, to garuantee this generation is the last generation <_<
Han
yea I agree, I don't trust the Queen one bit
mathtans
Heh, a lot of that is after where I've read to. As to their interest though, didn't the humans kind of come along and settle there? Technically the fae were there first.
Han
The Queen has clear motivations for sticking it to the King most definitely
mathtans
Makes me wonder about their marriage.
Han
im assuming the overgrowth is the queen claiming what is originally hers---maybe shes upset the king gave away the area that the town now overtakes and is trying to claim it back?
like I know the deal with the founder was kinda like an yea sure u can have the town for a while but its an iou situation eventually, he would've had his way if pin didn't outsmart him
RebelVampire
if they are married
im really confused on that
Han
yea I am too?? I feel like they arent actually married and are in actuality two seperate factions of fae
thats how I interpreted it anyway
RebelVampire
yeah thats how it feels
although the queen kind of acts the jealous wife to a degree
so idk
i could make arguments on both side
Han
mmm yea, maybe they had a fling and it dropped out
its a battle of bitter exes and the town is smack dab in the middle of it
RebelVampire
tho i think at this point they are representing two diff factions. so it might be a political marriage
Han
true!
tbh i would be kinda funny if it just wound up to be like a very long winded version of some sort of divorced couple custody battle over the whole town
mathtans
The liberals and conservatives thought a marriage would unite the fae politically.
Han
im also a little suspsicious of lola, seeing as how she seemed to switch sides so quickly
mathtans
Anyone think Pin might become the new ruler?
Tenor | Shinavar
I think they just need marriage counseling
Hm If Pin were offered, I don't think she'd accept it unless she has no option.
Like life or death over people levesl of accepting
RebelVampire
i think that is a good descrip of whats going on between the king and queen tho. this is just some custody battle XD and yeah im with tenor. i dont think pin would want to be the new ruler unless circumstances dictated it was to protect the town
Han
yea I agree
I feel like Pin is a protector of sorts
RebelVampire
i 100% think the queen is evil and is just more cunning to the king. i think her ultimate goal is to completely push the people out of the town and let nature reclaim it. cause that seems to be her thing. and i think theyre going to be forced to go get the king and say "hey king the queen is worse than you bro"
Han
oooo yea
and then its like the villain becomes the gruntled protagonist
which is a trope I adore
mathtans
King would probably want them to do him favours in exchange for help though.
Tenor | Shinavar
Oh god.
Personally I hope they just manage to mend whatever is allowing such a strong fae connection and just boot them all out because no fae can be trusted
mathtans
Gotta outsmart them somehow.
RebelVampire
i feel that that is more the inevitable end
they somehow get all the fae booted
decide to add to the history books that dealing with fae is the worst thing and just dont
mathtans
Gotta defeat them with iron.....y.
RebelVampire
actually ya know
maybe that is what will play a role
is the iron
cause i forgot about that
Tenor | Shinavar
Iron dome around the town
RebelVampire
but this comic is good about bringing up stuff again
in conjunction with the last question, i trust Iola as far as i can throw her. i think she knows exactly what the queen is trying to do and is just riding the train to the end
and even if she doesnt know
Iola is a side switcher
never trust
Tenor | Shinavar
Well at the ssame time, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and apparently she's taken what the King's done as one hell of a personal slight. Which if he was truly pretending to be her BF I can't blame the rage, but that's dangerous lol
RebelVampire
maybe this is the real lesson from the comic
dont scorn women
because then they go to the fae
and nobody wants that
Tenor | Shinavar
I'd believe it <_< Los of pissed off ladies. Even Pin's ancestor was a woman scorned
mathtans
Maybe Pin's mom is a fae. And Pin is part fae.
RebelVampire
the twist of a century
Tenor | Shinavar
Actually that is a question - why was it her father would have been the end of the contract, and not her? She's still alive. THey hint Iola's family is because the family line was assumed to not continue there so...
RebelVampire
QUESTION 4. Despite overcoming her trials with the King, Pin has many other problems left at her doorstep. Will Pin be able to solve the issues plaguing Prudence and free her ancestor? What do you think Pin will have to do to be able to free Prudence? Do you think she’ll have to consult the King, or might someone else have the answers? Do you think Prudence is being honest about just wanting to rest, or do you think Prudence is going to betray Pin after being set free? If the latter, what do you think Prudence’s ultimate goals are? Additionally, do you think Pin will be able to maintain a good relationship with her shadow, or will her shadow attempt to leave to be her own person? How might the split with her shadow continue to help or hurt her?
i assumed it was a generation number thing?
Tenor | Shinavar
4. Even if she has to consult the King I doubt he'd help her - it's his contract in place. Unless she gives up something good I can't imagine he'd be willing to try.
RebelVampire
cause its not iola herself who stays the fae hands
its iola's father
so once iola's father kicks the bucket
Tenor | Shinavar
Oooh, then that would make more sense.
mathtans
I feel like Prudence is sincere, because after hanging around for that long, you'd figure it's time to move on. Unless she really wants to struggle with what an iPad is.
RebelVampire
i wouldve thought prudence was sincere
but then her backstory
her backstory is not one that makes me go "ah just sincere old lady"
mathtans
Hmm, guess I only got about halfway through that. Still, centuries to reflect.
Tenor | Shinavar
I do believe she may be sincere in he "I'm done, I'm tired, I want to leave" because "immortality" can be baaad. And boring, esp if she's by herself
mathtans
It wasn't what she signed up for either.
RebelVampire
i feel like she wants rest, but that doesnt mean it doesnt come with strings. like for example, i doubt shed care if the only way to free herself was for pin to take her place in that mirror limbo whatever it is
mathtans
Mirror limbo... how low can you go.
Is it mentioned how Penelope got the nickname Pin?
Tenor | Shinavar
Rbeel: Oooh that's a good point God forbid she get tired of waiting and trying to make that deal wheeze
RebelVampire
i dont think its been mentioned yet, how she got her nickname
but it might have been said in passing and i just missed it?
but yeah i dont think prudence cares how she gets out and at whose expense
chateaugrief
hey everyone, i'm super late but I arrived! was eating fruit but am trying to stop...
RebelVampire
LOL
Tenor | Shinavar
I didn't catch it either.
FFF also hELLO
chateaugrief
I really loved this comic, writing was very good
RebelVampire
the fruit thing still makes me laugh to a degree cause at first i was like "pin why are you mad about ppl eating fruit? most kids dont eat enough fruit so this is a good thing"
glad to hear you liked it
mathtans
It's all about the veggies.
RebelVampire
maybe thats how riley will get over his addiction
hell start doing veggies
mathtans
Or birdseed. O.o
chateaugrief
haha stay away from fruit children! oh man the birdseed stuff I was dying
and before I knew it I was eating out of his hand!
also the lock picking ad that pops up in the middle
RebelVampire
im reminded of that page
http://pinporterdetective.com/index.php/comic/page-22/
now what i expected but horribly hilarious
mathtans
That reminds me, I was amused at the end of Spense's story when Pin saves him and he talks to her and she drops what she was holding.
chateaugrief
@mathtans another great moment. This comic was full of wonderful pacing and humorous beats.
the character expressions were tops too
mathtans
Yes, the pacing was really good in places. I also liked insulting the shadow ... cut to everyone in a dungeon.(edited)
chateaugrief
yes!
Hanging in chains, no less!
Tenor | Shinavar
Yes, I loved that. I am curious how much of Shadow's personality matches Pin's more basic in he sense of someone who hasn't been taught to be human. How violent can Pin be, for example? <_<
mathtans
That's a good point. Does a shadow represent our darker half? One that our soul still needs to survive?
RebelVampire
that usually is it although im not sure id describe the shadow as dark
less cunning and without the same regard for polite behavior
but not dark persay
chateaugrief
the id, in other words?
mathtans
Except shadows are kind of dark by nature. Because the light is blocked.
RebelVampire
i was really surprised that the shadow did not recombine with pin tho
and that shes still around
mathtans
I kind of suspected there'd be more to it. Maybe because of the one banner showing the shadow behind her.
Tenor | Shinavar
I think because hey've been seperated, they can basically let go and back again? Which may be contributing to Pin's health
mathtans
Which reminds me, I mentioned this a couple days ago, but interesting that there's, like, three different banners for the comic depending on what page you're on.
chateaugrief
did the shadow not rejoin Pin? I could have sworn it did, and that was why she got better?!
mathtans
One needs to be as observant as the characters.
Not permanently, I think?
Anyway, will be interesting to see what the fae get up to. When road signs aren't enough.
chateaugrief
yeah, page 124 http://pinporterdetective.com/index.php/comic/page-124/ did I misinterpret this as the shadow rejoining pin?
