there’s something about dysfunctional family dynamics, the blacks, the greens (or targaryens) idk i just can’t get enough

me too buddy

[chemicalarospec]

so glad that even though I'm extremely fond of the name Henry (or Henri), it's too short for me to want for myself -- because while wanting your friend's deadname is one thing, wanting your cousin's current actual real name since birth and probably forever is. a whole 'nother bag of worms.

Also i love the pucca and garu reference teehee :3cccccccc

OH BTW June July in the hv au is called June Julying! She works in the Ministry of Education in the department of misinformation - She swears on her life she was born on August. Her job is to hide or reword articles that would sour the TVOGXART and its subsidiary companies reputation.

NIKOLAI OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Look at him hes so tired 😭😭😭😭 He looks like he's been in the TVOGXART for way too long, its perfect, they've done henious things to him (asked him to work overtime. also the horrors of being a TVOGXART employee but dont worry abt it <3333333333)

HV!fyed two of my babies, Harold is now (The) Herald, and Lewis is Nikolai :O. Rlly love the concept of this au made by @berensteinsmonster

Herald is very expressive and angersvery easily(Bitchyyy) compared to Harold, who has monotone voice and tries not letting his anger problems appear(Softieee)

Nikolai is a crybaby <3, he is very scared and he doesnt wanna be heree, his only friend is Herald,(Easily manipulated) compared to Lewis who is very confident of himself, and easily makes Lot of friends(Manipulating others)

I couldnt add but Harold is called Captain Pucca so Herald is same but instead of Pucca is Garu wheeze

I have solved the mystery of why Spike feels so off in AtS Season 5. Because I'm rewatching Buffy's cameos in S1 of Angel and she feels the same way, in that she just doesn't feel like Buffy, at all. She's bitchier, whinier, way more self-absorbed, which was kinda the problem with Spike in AtS S5 as well.

And I can't help but wonder if that's because it's how Angel secretly sees them, so that's how they're portrayed on his show. It explains why he's such a dull hunk of wood and Spike is just charisma and sexiness and love and devotion and danger and pain on BtVS. Because that's how Buffy subconsciously sees them. Of course the actions are still the actions, obviously, however they're perceived, but that's not what I'm talking about. I mean that the characters were written and created from the POV of the protagonist, and even the actions we're not fond of just came along because the protagonist expected nothing less of them.

Would have been interesting to have a Spike series and see how he views these two lol. I'm guessing Angel as one of those French aristrocrats in a powdered wig and Buffy as a sword-wielding queen of the fairies.

----

Editing to add that I actually think there is a very clear divide on who belongs on which show. Angel, Cordy, Wesley, Faith, Harmony, Dru, and Darla THRIVED on AtS character-wise, and I actually liked every single one of them so much better on that show than I did on Buffy.

Spike and Buffy belong on the original. I'm a strong believer in crossovers, but only in micro doses, haha, and not destroying the stories that BtVS had been so carefully building.

Andrew can bop around on whatever show he wants, he's good at picking up the flavor of whoever he gets close to, like a mushroom.

One thing that I still wonder about to this day is who these two are

They are apparently part of the aristrocrats of evil (yk the organisation that o!ciel and vincent were part of) but we have never seen them before???

Knowing how yana is with foreshadowing, I'm sure they will appear or play a role later on but for now I can only theorize

Hello!! What would be Vasco or Machetes favorite fruits? Do you have any in mind?

I think Vasco would like peaches and plums, and in modern times mangos and bananas as well. To my understanding peaches were a rare and aristrocratic fruit at the time, but his family estate has a tree or two. He eats citrus as well, but mostly in cooked, candied or preserved form.

Machete likes pomegranates and figs. Pomegranates have to be de-seeded for him, since he hates getting the juices on him. Pears and apples, especially when eaten fresh, give him stomach issues. He had a Sicilian lemon tree imported and planted in the courtyard of his villa in Rome, but it has never fruited.

Both enjoy fresh grapes on occasion.

I think Stede is continuing a little bit of the 'treating them like his kids' thing from season 1:

Acting all surprised and interested when one of them tells him something they learned, so as to keep them talking all excited, and not make them feel dumb for not knowing things

Wait how come Stede knew damn well where China was when Ed suggested they ran away there but then doesn’t know where/what it is in season 2..?

The World in Deeper Inspection UPDATE Read: (Chapter 1: Pages 57 to 68) (COMPLETED)

About the comic

Grimsley confronts the man who set him on this goose chase.

And with that… that’s the end of the 10th Anniversary revamp!! Can’t believe it took me almost a year to get this short project done, but blame my school and day job for that! *drives the nail into the TWIDI IS NOT DEAD sign deeper into the wall*

It was enlightening to reinterpret my first ever completed comic (more complete than the strips and unfinished or one-off shorts I had done prior) – basically the one that started me down the road to a career as a published author. I was happy to see how much my style had improved – not just in the layout, flow and pacing – but in how my characters have become more expressive and energetic, and how comfortable I am with the cartooning. Here is the proof that drawing comics helps you get better at comics!! It only took 10 / 11 years!

Plus, after a long while of drawing with a more reserved, professional approach (see: Seance Tea Party, Alexander Comic), I enjoyed the abandon and whimsy of TWIDI. The lettering is inconsistent all over but that only adds to the handmade whimsical charm of TWIDI, so lol.

Anyway – I have the 10th Anniversary ebook edition up on my Ko-fi and itch.io! This edition carries both the original and revamped versions of Chapter 1. No new cover or illustration for it this time; I think they are perfect as they are.

I have been meaning to make a continuation of the end of TCM that bridges the start of Chapter 1. It’s a long time coming: a story that had somewhat existed since the early days of TWIDI in 2010. Hopefully I will find that stability in my life to return.

Open the cut below to see my notes.

There’s also nothing exciting here, EXCEPT I severely cut down on the number of panels (and the verbiage).

As with the previous spread I cut down and distilled a lot of the verbiage. I shifted the dialogue slightly so that the reveal that Mr. Brown is a Lord comes from Grimsley (in 2013, Mr Brown never admitted he was an aristrocrat until this page) – it made more sense since Grimsley had gotten the info independently from the newspaper article and Andrew, and Mr Brown not mentioning it himself fits with his whole lying thing. For this spread and the next couple of them I am zooming out the panels to include more scenery. The 2013 layouts felt very claustrophobic, with the over-reliance on bust shots of the characters to carry the tension of the conversation.

Some more dialogue trimming and background scenery. I decided to change the setting for the chase sequence to be within the cemetery – just ’cause it makes more sense than if it was done all around Brookham. The panelling for it is a bit more dynamic too – look, Grimsley is parkouring!!

I have no idea why 10 (actually, 11) years ago I had so much trouble conveying and pacing this sequence of Mr Brown being set on fire. That’s the hindsight of experience, I guess??? Anyway I added a few more panels for actual build-up, and the blocking is way better now – there’s more energy (especially Skeleton’s expressions) and clarity (omg we can finally see where and what’s happening to the lamp). The last panel is a new addition to better connect with the next spread. Also… I am excited to see how much further I can draw Mr. Brown’s demise.

Man, the difference some changes in pacing can make. I added some panels with witnesses to the fire, just to emphasise why Grimsley and Skeleton have got to run. It’s crazy enough if a Brookie has got to witness immolation in the middle of the Night, but two paranatural spookies??? Also human fat has such a colour hdsjkfhsdkf the things that come out of an immolated body are so eerie….

The 2013 spread is almost perfect. 18 Year Old Me got it.
