So we've come to the end of what I've decided is Part 2! I'll be taking a couple months to build up a buffer of pages going into Part 3, especially because since starting this project, a lot of my circumstances have changed - mainly that I'm working full time again and I don't have as much time to dedicate to this project as I used to have. That said - this puts us past the halfway point of this project!

Regardless, I'll be back as soon as I can be. I want to finish this project before moving onto new projects, so don't worry, this won't be left unfinished!

To everyone who's commented/liked/reblogged: thank you so so much! It's really really helpful and encouraging to see people respond positively to this project, especially on days when I'm particularly frustrated.

Mistyfoot and Stonefur in the graphic novel…

Assuming that’s Stonefur on the right (Due to the torn ear - he’s described prominently as having torn ears) and Mistyfoot on the left. Stonefur has a chest marking like Bluestar!! And a nicked eyebrow on the same side as his cousin Whitestorm. Mistyfoot has the light eyebrows like their mom though

Mistyfoot is darker than stonefur fans (me) are so winning. It’s hard to be sure in the lighting, but to me it looks like Stonefur’s fur is closer to Bluestar’s than Mistyfoot’s is

#I missed them on the first read through!! spotting them next time through was so so cool #graphic novel spoilers #Warrior cats #warriors #Warrior cats graphic novel #mistyfoot #mistystar #Stonefur #Bluefur #bluestar

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

And now a post that is actually about Watchmen.

Like I'm not going to try to tell anyone that Watchmen isn't brilliant but I find it funny that some people recommend it to people. Who are not into comics. Saying that it's so much better. Than other comic books. Because it is extremely about comic books. I mean it is about America but it is about America through the lens of comic books using the language of comic books. You are not going to understand half of what it's fucking doing if you aren't pretty familiar not just with comics generally but western cape comics specifically. The thing that you are deriding as you recommend it. Which really makes one wonder whether half the people who love it so much understand it even a little bit.

#like I was in this boat the first time I read it and still got it like 50% it gives you a lot of what you need #but if you want to get someone interested in comic books or graphic novels honestly start almost anywhere else #evangelion is sort of a similar thing where I don't think most western viewers understood it at all in the 90s #I think they were just kinda dazzled #I mean this is like a stock joke at this point but people still do it I have heard them with my own ears

[alison bechdel voice] it’s like a 1950’s lesbian pulp novel…

#and by like I mean. I used one as a reference!#here’s how Starbreaker can still win #starbreaker #jace stardiamond #porter cliffbreaker #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #fhjy spoilers #jaceporter #jan.art #I post art for the first time in like 4 years and it’s THIS #also please excuse my backgrounds it’s no good #I’m p sure my grammar is wrong but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#graphic design is not my passion but to be fair I’m p sure it also wasn’t for the ppl who designed pulp novels #I literally had to rush to finish this last night bc Brennan killed Starbreaker with a large hammer last night #jan arts

When you have an opportunity to draw a rolling kitty, you draw a rolling kitty, even if she’s doing it to deflect an emotional conversation.

[first] [previous] [next]

[index]

By the way, I have slightly more of a buffer than usual and I’m excited about this conversation so we’re doing THREE pages this week! There’ll be another one on Thursday before the usual update on Saturday. I am impatient haha

I spent a lot of time looking up "how to canoe" videos on YouTube for this page, because I needed reference material for getting in and out of canoes.
