Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of my control (not being able to afford a PS4 or 5) I have not played any part of the Horizon series, as much as the idea has always appealed to me even from the trailers (posta-apocalyptic Monster Hunter with robots).

It is with some surprise, then, that I find out via a webcomic that apparently the archeology in this verse follows basically the same logic as Pikmin, i.e. making mundane shit appear ancient and important, and that amuses me so.

literally it has been exactly like this

Literally I have not had Opinions about sonic the hedgehog like this in like 15 years we are literally So fucking back

I read this comic katie tiedrich made about her dad in 2007 completely oblivious to the fact that he'd become one of the biggest main characters of blue maga twitter within about 10 years

You should always have all your OCs and favorite canon characters living in a big house together. Not necessarily as family, just roommates. Brawl in the Family, MGDMT, whatever the hell Katie Tiedrich's comic was called. Awesome Zombie?, all those webcomics did it. My OCs and their zelda friends are all living out their retirement in a House and the tf2 mercs live next door

in 2008 i made a sona for myself that absolutely ripped off katie tiedrich's self insert for awkward zombie. i made up my own version of that hat and everything. i never even wore hats

First, a big thank you to everyone that’s supported Iron Circus’ Failure to Launch anthology and my contribution “The Second Extinction of the Pyrenean Ibex” by pledging, sharing & liking our posts, or just checking out the campaign! We’re halfway through the funding period, so I wanted to share some updates on tumblr.

The biggest news is that we made it to our goal and are now working on stretch goals and creator bonus payments! We’ve already gotten to our first stretch goal--upgrading the covers with a fancy effect--and are now onto the second: a PDF full of bonus comics for all backers. Can we reach them all?

Next, Failure to Launch has been quite a bit of press, including outlets running exclusive previews of some of the comics included! Want to see what this anthology’s about, really “try before you buy”? Check out these stories of failure below:

AIPT Comics: “The World Turns” by Barbara Mazzi, about apocalypses that didn’t happen.

Screenrant: “When Do We Get Our Star Trek Future?” by J. Dalton, about the hollow promises of sci-fi economics.

Boing Boing: “Lead Balloon” by Katie Tiedrich, about adding deadly chemicals to gasoline for fun and profit.

Comics Beat: “Rats” by Ryan Estrada and Aarón Cruz, about a stage magician getting into a fight with the father of the radio over the future of wireless technology (it’s wild).

Geek Vibes Nation: “Zigurats” by André Valenté, about a totally-not-a-cult in Brazil that’s trying to psychically communicate with aliens and prove the world is not flat, but convex. 

Vol. 1 Brooklyn: “Magic City, All of Fire” by Evan Dahm, about the secret history of Coney Island.

Fangirl Nation: “The Pasilalinic Sympathetic Compass” by Maddi Gonzalez and Alice Woods, about using telepathic snails to communicate long-distance (I’m serious!).

Popverse: “CGIdol” by Victor Santiago and Bolu Oriowo, about the pitfalls of trying to create a virtual pop star.

Polygon: “The First Union” by Harry ‘Hbomberguy’ Brewis and Skutch, about the true story behind the Luddities.

Wow! That’s a lot of comics! Once you’re done with these, check out the Failure to Launch BackerKit page and consider pledging before the campaign ends on March 9th.

Nowi

(Nervous Chrom and Stahl courtesy of Katie Tiedrich. Not in the sense that I asked permission, just in the sense that I want to point you in her direction.)

Age: >1,000

Home: Itinerant (Fire Emblem Awakening)

Blood type: Dragon

Likes: Helping people, friends, witches

Dislikes: Snakes, solitude, shirts

Skill: Odd Rhythm

Nowi’s past is…mysterious. She was separated from her family at some point; judging by her attempts to play house, she was too young to remember much about them. At some point, she was sold to a…circus? who forced her to transform and perform tricks. Anyways, she runs away, pursued by the circus, an evil cult, and a kind-hearted mercenary who sucks at explaining himself; this ends with the cultists defeated, Nowi and the mercenary recruited by a prince, and the circus having long since fled the scene.

At second glance, Nowi is basically a child who happens to be roughly a hundred times as old as she acts. (Your first glance will be interrupted by rolling your eyes at her outfit.) She’s generally childish, impulsive, and short-sighted. Unlike most of the manakete in this bracket, she’s also aggressively extroverted, and not just because Awakening characters have support conversations between most characters of the same generation; Nowi initiates most of her supports, generally by either striking up a random conversation with someone she fought alongside occasionally or asking them to play with her.

However, Nowi’s cheerful surface hides some actual depth. To start with, the fact that her cheerfulness doesn’t come naturally to her; it’s an attitude she’s consciously adopted to avoid falling into depression due to living eternally in a world where everyone around her dies like mayflies. Some of her supports also show that she can think ahead and come up with clever plans; she just generally chooses not to.

Speaking personally, Nowi draws a variety of paternal feelings from my heart. Unfortunately, the strongest is “Where do you think you’re going dressed like that, young lady?” Nowi is literally the poster child for sexualized thousand-year-old lolis in anime, and that’s kind of an elephant in the room. I see what Intelligent Systems was going for; it contrasts with Nah’s conservative outfit, which barely exposes any skin beneath her chin. But I wish they’d found some other axis on which to contrast their outfits…

Elephant aside, what does Tumblr think of Nowi?

nowi is so funny actually

A Twitter request, people seem to like shipping robin with dragon ladies shsh

Nowi is the type who just. Loves biting her friends. Her teeth are razor sharp but she is careful (how hard she bites can also depend on the recipient and what she knows they're comfortable/okay with too) … She bites Henry. Henry bites back.

(I’m pretty sure that one is just a headcanon, but it’s a funny headcanon.)

honestly though one of the main takeaways I have from this AA playthrough is that the internet owes Katie Tiedrich several apologies for what it did to Eat Your Hamburgers Apollo

I can only imagine this is what would come out if the people behind Don't Hug Me I'm Scared were tasked with creating a Kingdom Hearts story

Link.

But specifically Katie Tiedrich's interpretation of Ocarina of Time Link, who is hypercompetent at puzzles but otherwise not at all bright.

Topic: which member of the Smash Bros. cast would take the longest to figure out that the reason they never see the girl Inkling and the boy Inkling in the same room together is because they're the same person.
