[Insert "A corpo and a nomad walk into a desert" joke here].
ölakshdfasjfhdsdfh hi, I'm Elven, and I'm becoming increasingly addicted to making longass VP comics uwu (and loving every second of it, let's be real XD)
This one has been on my "wanna do" list forever - or at the very least since @pinkyjulien trusted me with his boy 💛 Thank you so much for letting me take Valentin on some unexpected adventures!!
The thing is, I had always wondered if and how these two could ever meet (and also if they could ever become friends, because let's be honest, they're from very different worlds.... or are they 👀 alköasdhfdf I'm already saying too much, there is a part two that will follow in a separate post, but I'll link it below once it's here)
[Part Two - now here :D]
But yes!! Nothing better than fateful meetings at unexpected times :D And I hope I'll have Vince as an NPV somewhere down the line as well to send him on some adventures of his own!
Also, some BTS from a while ago for everyone who read this far:
Very sus
Short, colorful rattail kings 🤌

wtf does earth is space australia even mean
"earth is space australia" is a type of scifi trope originating from tumblr in which earth, and sometimes humans specifically, are especially dangerous (or, in less edgy versions, just weird/unique) compared to other planets and alien species. there's often a fixation on extreme climates, "dangerous" animal and plant life, or quirks of human culture. my impression is that the trope/concept was popularized as backlash to the common scifi depiction of humans being the boring normies of the universe. the term "space australia" comes from the non-australian perception that australian wildlife is extra dangerous compared to the rest of the world. (it's..... australia has some very cool native wildlife due to islands allowing for unique evolutionary trajectories, but characterizing it as "more dangerous" with zero follow-up nuance is disingenuous at best.) you can also see it called "earth is a deathworld" or "humans are space orcs"
there's a fanlore page if you want to know more. it really started as a bunch of tumblr posts and i don't think the trope has permeated into popular media yet, but you can find some short stories and vignettes on tumblr and reddit, and there's an AO3 tag

Dear God how I fucking hate when people dismiss s character's traits because "that's just a facade! you as the reader have to see underneath it!!" like yeah no fucking shit Sherlock, a well written character has more than one (1) defining trait but that doesn't mean their most prominent one or the one most recognized by fandom ISN'T there
yes this is about people thinking dick grayson isn't actually a ray of sunshine, that it's just a mask. he's much more than the happy one, of fucking course, all batfam members (when written well) are, but that doesn't mean that being happy and bright is not a crucial part of his personality. he brings light to people's lives, he's a beacon of hope, that's what Robin was born for, as a light to Batman's darkness. That's what Nightwing is. He can be serious, sure. He's smart, an amazing strategist, incredibly good at fighting, he can be manipulative and morally gray and sometimes an objectively bad person. But he's ALSO funny and quippy and bright and sunshine. BECAUSE HE'S WELL WRITTEN.
Like Jesus stop making him so sad and wrong all the time just because you want so bad to go against "fanon". It's not fanon if it's literally his core trait. It's not fanon if it's what the character was BORN AS. God.

someone on a podcast i listen to said most comedy tiktoks have funny concepts but go on for so long they become unfunny. i can't unsee it now, the timing really does matter so much. and i don't want to romanticize the vine days because all we're left with now are compilations of the Most Iconic Vines which isn't the full picture, but on the other hand. they really are so iconic. watching a really good vine compilation truly makes me appreciate the power of editing, distillation, of the punch, of the snappiness,
