Now, I'm not saying that my Good Omens hyperfixation led to me reading the bible...

But I am saying that I'm reading the bible. I don't know why. But I'm blaming Good Omens.

None of these shows except DBZ existed when I started watching anime, and DBZ hadn't come out in English yet by that point. We had Curse of the Blood Rubies tho, if that counts lol

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

I referred to respondents being "young people" in a research meeting and had to clarify that I meant teens-early twenties.

I may be having a quarter-life crisis.

Quick doodles before I evaporate.

she is very startling — pixie-like, other-worldly — small, finely-built, dark hair, and much make-up which made her look very pale — large, questioning eyes — a marked accent which I could not label — her speech is over-precise — she shines and polishes each syllable with the very tip of her tongue and teeth — one feels that if one were to touch her, she would crumble into silver dust.

Hi hello fellow fiddauthor enjoyers. Here’s a fiddauthor comic with no fiddleford in it.

Bonus doodle under the cut:

I imagine this is roughly how said proposal went. Not that Ford is telling Stan that(Stan is going to find out immediately when he starts grilling Ford for details)

Grumpy old men: Berube is going to HATE Mitch and will bench him for the majority of the season because he's too soft and not a team player. The team doesn't need Mitch. He should be traded for a bag of pucks. I can't wait for Berube to abuse him, I want to see him cry.

Berube: If I could have Mitch on the ice for the entire 60 minutes, I would. I would get him to play in every position. Because he's good at everything, and he's a leader on and off the ice. Anyway, Mitch is great and we're lucky to have him. Have I mentioned how much I love him? Can I tell you again?
