#THSI IS MY ASK

[headsplit2008]

ill delete this later but ohhh ohhhh i called this so hard (not to sound like. cocky). lost at sea was so influential to me u cant expect me not to like Taste its Taste on things.

also apropos of nothing everybody should read serenity rose RIGHT NOW volume 1 is from 2002 and STILL free to read on the author's site, if u like TOL i think u could really like it too its one of my favourite comics ever (vol 1 at least imo it fell off a bit in 2&3- plus the designs changed in a way thats just less appealing to me personally)

its about this kinda depressed witch and her baka little life its awesome and i first read it when i was like 11 and didnt fully understand it (kinda like lost at sea) but its actually so funny and has this undercurrent of maturity and gweh idk reminds me ethoswise of tol, serenity reminds me of santiago a bit with her sardonic narration

this is making me wanna post this old essay i did comparing lost at sea to stop-zemlia and the great gatsby ,this is making me want to do an analysis of srose ohhh i fear i am not normal about comics. i fear

i love TOL so much its actually gimving me brain worms im a huge comic nerd and it gives off the same vibe as some of my fav comics ever like serenity rose or lost at sea or the gulf it feels like an old alt 'classic' i wouldv read when younger and changed my brain chemistry (it still is)... so so good and your paneling and page layout and characterisation all make it flow so well and its so easy to get invested in the characters.. jamie and santiago are real and They are my Friends... their dynamic and world feel so lively and real.... i love how you play with comic conventions in using the thought/narrative bubble and turning it into voiced speech its so clever and awesome... your inking is so alive and dynamic... i havent been this ThinkingAbout a comic in ages. would buy in print. ps do u have any comic reccomendations/what comics inspires you?

Thank you so much!! This kind of manic obsession is what all true comic creators dream of, so it touches my heart <3

My main inspirations for making TOL were black and white comics I read as a kid but didn't fully understand at the time, like Bone, This One Summer, and (like you mentioned) Lost at Sea!

Lost at Sea in particular was a huge emotional cornerstone for me when I was younger, and was one of the main reasons I kept TOL in black and white. I read it when I was too young to really understand what the characters were going through, but I could tell there was something really emotionally powerful going on below the surface, and it stuck with me into adulthood. The fact that the world in that story had been abstracted by only existing in black and white only made it more mysterious and fascinating to me.

I have such an affinity for B&W comics. It simultaneously makes a piece feel more obtuse and obscured without the specificity of color, but it also makes it all the more personal and unique to each reader who fills in the gaps with their imagination. That's what I'm going for with TOL anyway.

I know some people have only read comics like Bone and Scott Pilgrim in color because it adds a whole new level of artistic expression to enjoy in a story, but I encourage people to revisit their favorite comics if they were originally printed in b&w to see how different they feel without color.

As for other comics I recommend, I really love Blankets, Keeping Two, Ducks, and The Sculptor.

These are all sophisticated creme de la creme novels that really touch on some intensely beautiful themes, and I can't recommend them enough to people who want to read a comic with some real maturity.

But what if you like comics with action and fantasy and cool shit that are also top of the line? Then I recommend Kaya, Ultramega, Do A Powerbomb, and most importantly: Coda.

These comics are so amazingly well drawn and are told incredibly well, but Coda, drawn by Matias Bergara and written by Si Spurrier is probably my favorite comic ever and I recommend it to literally everyone. It's the comic that pulled me out of my era of reading shonen manga slop and made me start reading western comics obsessively.

The duo also made Step By Bloody Step, a comic told without any words- only pictures. This is the kind of thing you have to read if you want to really understand what the comics medium is capable of.

ANYWAY. That's my reading list. Creators like Hayao Miyazaki, Cliff Chiang, Moebius, Frank Pe, Kei Urana, and Ryoko Kui are also amazing and you should check out their works as well.

I'm making physical copies of TOL chapter 1, and at the end I'm also gonna include a reading list of comics made by indie creators who I'm lucky enough to call my friends for people to check out, but that's a post for a different time.

I hope people will read at least one book from this list. Thanks for reading my ramblings!

[exy-conspiracies]

The foxes only won the championship because of demon worship. Hear me out, because this will take a bit to explain but it all has to do with that wesninski guy.

We all know the foxes were a useless untalented mess until that guy joined and suddenly they started winning games.

That whole thing with his father being a serial killer/mass murderer? Important. The whole mafia/organized crime explanation? I just don't buy it. No mafia or gang in documented history has ever needed THAT much killing to sustain themselves, and that many people disappearing will always attract attention which gangs would rather avoid, cuz it get expensive buying yourself out of that. So clearly there was a different reason for all that murdering. And i think it was satanist human sacrifices. There's a reason red hair is associated with witchcraft.

So back to the foxes: the wesninski kid arrives, one of their players dies of an "overdose" and suddenly the foxes start playing well? I think they, under the guidance of witch wesninski jr. sacrificed seth gordon in exchange for exy talent. But of course one sacrifice isn't enough to satisfy a demon so they promised riko's soul as well if they won the championship. Thats why minyard was bold enough to attack riko so openly on camera, because the devil would come for them if they didn't fulfill their part and deliver riko. And they did, riko is dead because of them. Sacrificed to the devil for something as ridiculous as an exy trophy.

jd is just so much hes Such a good character. as someone with an actual shitty oldest brother that ruined his life i kind of find how people treat his flaws funny. esp when people blow them out of proportion like my guy was struggling and stressed and trying and . it didnt go so well but hey! he’s never hurt you on purpose and he wants to make up for it and be in your lives again

johnd oddory uhhggffgggg!!!!!!!! its so silly whenevr i think of how engrained this guy is in my head, cuz im the youngest out of my siblings but im closest with my sister The Eldest Daughter.. AND WHATS FUNNY is she says i’d be john dory and she’d be branch.. i forced her to watch trolls.she hates musicals. LAWL.

oh but anyway john dory’s whole dynamic.. ESPECIALLY with branch is soo… John Dory as the eldest, and the least favorite brother among them and branch as the youngest and most adored.. ugh it just so so so good. especially with how they mirror eachother so much… and how everyone treats them differently even though theyre so similar!!!! not that its a bad thing its just so.!!!

JOHN DORY MAKES ME FEEL SO BAD when i see him reuniting with his brothers like oh my god. because i KNOW his last impression on them was horrible and all their reactions are reasonable but man. John “GOODBYE FOREVER” Dory was the Only one to come back to the troll tree. Was the one to get everyone together to save floyd. Was in isolation for 20 years thinking his brothers were dead probably all his fault.

AND THEN guess what he WASNT EVEN OBSESSED WITH THE PERFECT FAMILY HARMONY AGAIN WHEN THEY REUNITE!! when floyds like ‘jd its diamond💔’ this dumbass goes ‘DIAMOND SHATTERING DIAMOND HAMMER’ he wasnt even THINKING OF IT!!!! uggghhhh and then theyre like THE SAME OLD JOHN DORY which is .partially true. but i feel like the siblings anger at him was definitely some bottled up feelings coming out cuz ths guy was clarifying that it was For FLOYD!!!!! ugh ugh ugh whateve Watt ever..!!!! ugh ugh ugh ugh everyone hug eachother and apologize and talk NOW!

boo!! hi jelly!! random pokemon assigning alnst OCs go!!

I associate your oc yume with the pokemon munna and it's evolution musharna!! largely for the dreams aspect, as munna/musharna are known to consume dreams and are able to formulate certain images out of dream mist. they're able to make illusions and cause a bit of unreality confusion, which I think fits yume pretty well! there's also the fact that they produce dark mist when consuming nightmares, which reminds me of yume's dark hair.

I actually have a musharna on pokemon shield which I named after yume! ^^

sorry for the random pokemon nerdiness;;

↓ you and me (I exploded)
