#im emulating that

[wander-wren]

with the graphic novels i’m being prompted again to consider trc tv show teaser trailer concept that has lived in my brain for?? over a year at this point??

just imagine. a sleepy virginian small town from above, a girl pedaling down the sidewalk on a bike. blue’s voice narrating as we slowly get closer.

“being the only normal one in a psychic family is bad enough.” cut to blue’s face as she rides. “what’s worse is being the one with a curse.”

a series of quick flashbacks of various women looking nervous, sad, and/or apologetic to blue at varying ages. maura’s voice. “if you kiss your true live, he will die.”

blue, on her bike, skids to a halt near aglionby academy. she watches the boys in their fancy uniforms and their arrogant smiles, their raven emblems. still narrating, she says, “so i have two rules. one, don’t talk to boys, because they’re trouble. and don’t talk to raven boys, because they’re bastards.”

she pushes off again. pan out to a darkening, cloudy sky. “you can’t outrun fate. but i didn’t expect it to find me so soon.”

the graveyard, st mark’s eve, with the dead marching past. then blue’s perspective, of only one lone boy, and neeve hisses, “take his name. he’ll die within the year.”

blue follows as the camera zeroes in on the boy’s face, his aglionby sweater, his rain-soaked shoulders. he stumbles to his knee, fingers splayed in the dirt. blue asks, “what’s your name?”

“gansey.”

the screen goes black.

“is that all?”

“that’s all there is.”

music slams in alongside a montage of scenes, gansey, ronan, adam, noah. these have some dialogue and are long enough to establish their personalities and relationships with each other. mostly generic/immediately pre-canon things like the dolly/car dragging incident, but also a few early book one scenes. included near the beginning is gansey asking, “what do you know about welsh kings?” and explaining, “legend says he’s only sleeping, and whoever wakes him gets a favor.”

blue’s voice comes back near the middle of that: “i have my rules. we were never supposed to meet.”

half-second flashes of her meeting gansey in nino’s, adam outside in the parking lot, whenever she met ronan and noah officially.

“i guess i was never any good at following the rules.”

another montage like before, now showing all of them in various scenes from book one, getting faster, more jumbled, and soundless except for the music as we go. it culminates in flashes of the cabeswater scene, completely incomprehensible but full of fear. in the end, adam lands on his knees in the forest, hands splayed in the dirt. gansey’s voice screams, “adam!”

screen goes black again. blue says, “this is a year people die.”

I know that Nintendo gets a lot of hate, but honestly, I think they should be hated even more.

i think the reason i never jived with the anti-ai art rhetoric is because i think the idea of giving a computer a set of criteria to produce something with is, like, fundamentally an artistic process and also, really fucking cool

Merger AU comic... begin!! I think I've got my comic skills to a point where I want to try doing an STC-style multi-part story. I've got it all scripted, now I just have to do it. It's a lot of work! So erm 👉👈 I'd really appreciate if you'd ♥ 💬 or 🔁 to let me know what you think :)

Confused? Don't go here? Read my fanfiction as a prologue! Or don't! This picks up right after the end of Fleetway's Sonic The Comic, so you aren't really missing much. tl;dr for basic stc lore below:

In the UK Sonic comic, Sonic transforms into Super after exposure to large amounts of chaos energy or in times of great stress. Super is a violent, chaotic monster that destroys everything and everyone he sees until he loses power and reverts back to Sonic. Halfway through the comic, Super and Sonic are physically separated. Super then loses his powers and--briefly--his memories, becoming a nice little guy who wanders Metropolis Zone getting adopted by sweet old ladies. This includes Ebony the Mystic Mog (a witch/sorceres) and Pyjamas the Psychic. They take him in as family and give him a job at Ebony's coffee bar The Groovy Train. As Super's chaos energy fades, he starts dying. Ebony takes him to find the Chaos Emeralds to heal him, but runs into the Sonic Adventure 1 plot. Super absorb's Chaos' energy and becomes evil again, until Ebony seals him away in Sonic's body.

Hopefully some of that was apparent already! The only changes I've made to canon before this point is letting Super choose a new name as Fleet :)

Nintendo either needs to

a) stop this fucking crackdown on emulators for games that have not had any chance to be replayed anywhere / any other way to stream since they just abandon their old consoles and shut down support for everything but the Switch and most people have already paid for these games once

Or

b) instead of throwing their fits about losing money for what is essentially abandonware for a lot of the older games at the very least, they need to make their fucking catalogue fully available. They could put them up onto their emulator apps they themselves put on the switch OR release them all in bundled games. For some very long standing series they could easily just do a couple different bundles and put them at a reasonable price and people would actually be receptive. I'd pay 20 bucks to replay the old fire emblem games for example. I'd rather have them up for free through their emulation apps but if they're so concerned about turning a profit on old games that they don't have any support for what so fucking ever that's how they need to do it.

So either stop giving a shit Nintendo or actually do something to correct this for yourself without having to worry. Do the fucking work or don't but stop taking it on the people that clearly still give enough of a shit to love and play your full catalogue.
