“You have a crush on your android?” George exclaimed, resulting in Lando quickly shushing him. They were in public after all and there was a high probability that someone would overhear or worse, record their whole conversation and sell it to the press. He could practically see the headline already: LOSER LANDO NORRIS’S LOVE UNREQUITED. THIS IDIOT FELL FOR AN ANDROID.

“What the fuck,” George continued loudly. Lando frantically led him into the privacy of an alleyway between two of the motorhomes. “It’s not like I can help it,” he argued, trying to keep his voice down.

George however was making no such effort. “But he’s an android!”

“You don��t say,” Lando jabbed back.

CHAPTER 2

August 6th, 1942 - 1000

En Route to Camp Toccoa, Georgia, United States

War Correspondent Esther Armstrong

I could point out the number of times I have gotten nervous. Mainly because I always got nervous. I wanted to do well, I wanted to succeed. I was determined and motivated and had goals set in front of me. But there was always the nerves. My first time on a bike - beyond terrifying. That one time Ronnie Pfieffier asked me to the school dance and my knees buckled all the sudden - way too daunting, he was so charming! Hell, even the interview with Bryn Mawr had my palms sweating, my stomach dancing and my knees shaking like a leaf. But this was a different kind of nerves. This was nerves people could see, nerves people could sniff off of you like a hound dog. Nerves that I was finally trying to outgrow

Chapter 3 Excerpt:  Shtick. The word pulses through Jon’s mind the next morning — pulses, and punches, and pierces. He’s alone in his assigned room, Gendry, Podrick, and Edric having gone to the kitchen for breakfast, so he lingers in bed, pillow over his face to hide his frustration from no one in particular. He understands now. He’s not sure why he didn’t understand sooner. “Friend since childhood. Unrequited love. I guess that’s my shtick.” Sansa must have overheard him say this to Tormund last night. When she and Illyrio entered the room without him noticing — it must have happened then. Jon doesn’t remember saying it sarcastically. But if Sansa was already on edge because she thought he laughed at her — and because the cameras, and the lights, and the micromanaging producers are enough to put anyone on edge — he can see how it would seem otherwise. So what did Sansa think Jon was really saying, underneath the layer of perceived sarcasm? Well, that he’s here to play a part, right? To pretend to be a certain kind of Old. To do as the producers tell him, without asking Sansa how she feels about it first. And fucking hell, Jon pretty much confirmed that theory, didn’t he? Inadvertently? Instead of admitting why he actually is here, he shrugged and said, “To help I guess.” Like an idiot. Like an emotionally inept, hates to talk about hard feelings, never learns his lesson, bumbling fucking — Eck! Jon shoves his pillow further against his face. Because it gets worse.

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

The Dread Wolf Take You (Part 1)

~~Link to the complete 31 page comic here~~

"Imagine that, overlooking the god in your mids!"

May I present, my attempt at illustrating the last four pages of Tevinter Nights. 😁 (Also, the first time I'm posting art on here!)

As the whole thing was quite literally too long to post on tumblr, I uploaded the full version on a customized site made for reading webcomics (via ComicFury). Feel free to check out the link above if you like to read the rest! Also, if you're on mobile, there's a "Scroll View" option for easier navigation. :)

And, obviously, HUGE spoilers for those who haven't read Tevinter Nights!!

On a personal note though, I can't believe I actually finished it... As it had been a *very* long time since I drew (and finished) anything, let alone a 31 page comic and reading Tevinter Nights again finally sparked my motivation (and the courage to post it lol). So I want to thank Patrick Weekes for helping me overcome this massive art block and over two decades of Case Closed mangas for inspiring me how to draw an overly dramatic "exposing the imposter" moment. 😂 I tried my best to be as faithful to the book as possible and it took me forever, so... hope you like it! :D

Something that I've noticed ever since the Smiling Critters were introduced is that they can so easily be paired off into complementary duos, ones that are specifically designed to teach children fundamental lessons about life and self-care from two different angles. It's really interesting to me.

Like obviously you have Dogday and Catnap, with their sun/moon, dog/cat dichotomy, that stress how important it is to have fun and get things done during the day, but also that it's important to wind down, relax, and get a good night's sleep.

-

Bubba Bubbaphant and Craftycorn were introduced as a duo in the Smiling Critter show's intro, and their dichotomy is quite obvious. They are basically the right and left sides of the brain personified. Bubba is the left side of the brain, logical, analytical, focused on math and science. Craftycorn is the right side of the brain, creative and imaginative, focused on the arts and self-expression. They represent learning and academia in all its forms, the different ways people engage with and understand the world.

-

Hoppy Hopscotch and Kickin' Chicken form the sportsmanship duo. They are both portrayed as enjoying sports and the outdoors, but in different ways that highlight the different ways sports can be played and enjoyed and also what it entails to be successful at them. Hoppy Hopscotch may be loud and impatient, but she is also a team player, shown in her willingness to slow down her fast pace to make sure none of her friends are left behind. Kickin' Chicken, on the other hand, is laid-back, relaxed, and chill, the described "cool kid" of the group, but he's also described as having a ton of perseverance, more of a "slow and steady wins the race" type of person.

-

This leaves Bobby Bearhug and Picky Piggy as the last pair. Fittingly, these two are all about how to meet the fundamental needs of yourself and others. Bobby teaches children how to nourish themselves emotionally through showing and receiving care from others, while Picky teaches them how good food is important to nourish the body and soul. Depriving oneself of either of these things only makes oneself and therefore everyone around one miserable, because those fundamental needs are no longer being met.

-

Like fr, this is some pretty genius marketing right here. You have enough characters that every kid will have their favorite, but not so many that any would get lost in the shuffle, because the lessons each one of them would teach would be integral to the group as a whole. It really makes me that much sadder we saw basically nothing of the Smiling Critters during the game itself, because Mob Games struck gold with this concept, only to ultimately do nothing with it. :/

But I guess that's what fandom is for, eh?

The "Friend Inside Me" twitter account has recently been posting increasingly cryptic teasers, leading some to believe that it's actually Toby running the account somehow and teasing chapter 3? I know yall are starved for content but please refer to the below image:

Trolling aside, i think there is some great importance as to why Gege chose this specific manner of panelling for the Yuji-Sukuna confrontation in JJK 264. We can't help but think that Gege's trying to show us some sort of a parallel between Gojo and Sukuna in this situation.

In JJK, there's this interesting notion of one's decision to go "North" or "South" as explained by Nanami during Gojo's death Flashback:

And we all know, that chapter of Gojo's death is titled as "Go South", which highly implies that Gojo chose to stay as who he was, as opposed to starting as something completely anew.

Now the interesting point in the Yuuji-Sukuna confrontation is that apparently...

....the destination for the supposed train within Yuuji's domain...is "North".

Which means that Yuuji's taking Sukuna towards the North.......

They're heading towards the North.....do you guys understand what that means?? For BOTH of them??? Q C Q
