Thoughts on Fence Challengers: Long Shot Part I

At long last, it begins. Kings Row is headed to the State Championship Finals, Nicholas has the chance to show his growth as a fencer, and Seiji will help guide the team through its long fight to face off against Exton. Though I'm a bit behind in putting this together, a few things did stand out to me. 1. Starting with the smaller pieces, I look forward to learning more about the other competing schools. I like the introduction of girl characters and the parallels between Aiden and Adrienne. The subtle hints at Aiden's obsession over Harvard's love life and knowing Dafna's name was a nice touch. Bobby is cheerful as always and charmingly oblivious, but a little over the top with superstitions on the bus. I look forward to seeing their stories unfold 2. MacRobertson shows yet again why they are my second favorite team behind Kings Row. I'm sorry they will be the first team to face off against our boys, but it is promising to be a tricky match and not an easy win. Out of the few schools seen, they could prove to be some of Kings Row's strongest allies in later competitions. Marcus Washington in particular will be the most immediate threat and could be helpful especially for Seiji after MacRob is inevitably beaten. I suspect Lowther, MLC, and Halverton to be the next teams in that order. 3. It is unfortunate Eugene Labao will not be participating in the Finals. He is a determined fencer, and he will have several more opportunities to compete, but Nicholas has always been at the center of this series, and he has surpassed Eugene. The good news is he will still be part of the story as Kings Row battles its way to the top, and Aiden may once again leave an opening.

4. Seiji has come a long way from when he viewed Kings Row as beneath him. He clearly has a thing for Nicholas, but neither one will openly admit it. Win or lose the final match, I think he is finally finding his true place in the world. It will still be a long way to go before he faces off again against Jesse Coste.

5. Jesse Coste once again proves himself to be an arrogant prick who cares more about winning than actual friendship. I find it interesting how Robert Coste seems to have no idea about Jesse's fallout with Seiji. We've had a few hints about his personality in the books, but I'm curious to see who he is in the comics. I have little doubt Seiji and Jesse will face each other again on the piste. Time will tell how it all unfolds. 6. No one has come further than Nicholas Cox. He is not yet ready to face the best fencers, but he has proven to be a fast learner and is rapidly advancing. The name Nicholas Cox is starting to grace the lips of spectators. I look for him to have his rematch against Kyle Allen (his secret cousin) in future installments.

7. I was at first concerned about Nicholas leaving the news article with his note to his father, but it looks like it won't matter in the long run. His biggest secret will likely be revealed during the course of this story arc. It is the number one thing I most look forward to reading in future installments.

A man obsessed with conspiracy theories becomes a target after one of his theories turns out to be true. Unfortunately, in order to save himself, he has to figure out which theory it is.

first of all I think a good long AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! is called for because holy shit i love this with my whole entire being. like. you cannot comprehend how much i love this. I love the Labao family more than like…..anyone but my fav 4 characters in Fence XD whoops. Point is, i love them way more than I think I was meant to or than I probably should but I do and so seeing fanart of them makes me go feral. And you drew the whole squad ahh!! That’s crazy impressive because that’s a lot of people and you’ve got them all so dynamic and interacting with each other so perfectly and I’m just grfawedszxc lobe themmmm

we’re just gonna start left to right and go down the line.

ELIZABETH AND CRISTOPHER MY BELOVEDS i love them so much. the milf/dilf power couple we DESERVE. truly just some wonderful, warm, loving parents here and their milf and dilfness is unobtainable because they’re just so in love with each other and I love that too. I love their height difference because Kit is TALL and Elizabeth is Small and so put them next to each other and I’m crying they’re so cute and perfect. I love that they’r holding hands and strolling down the beach—probably like they have for years, since before they had kids—and the rowdy hellions can’t disrupt their peaceful vibes. (I seriously love that they still hold hands. that’s just such a sweet touch and shows how even after all these years, they still want to be holding hands and walking in step). AND THE WAY THEY’RE SMILING AFTER THIER CHILDREN?????? so soft and so loving and ahhh they just love their kids so much and I love that. Literally love them just letting the kids be absolute goons together with fond smiles like ‘ah yes those are our monsters <3’ it’s just perfectly the vibe I imagine them having. Ok but truly they are very attractive no joke. Elizabeth is just so pretty and I love her and her soft smile. And! I love that you drew her hair down her shoulders like she wears it currently, and even gave her her earrings!! and of course I love that her tote and her flip-flops are yellow <3 In fact, I love that all of them but Luna have yellow on them. Her dress is so pretty. I love how soft and hazy it is and the gradient is lovely. Like a sunset blending into gentle waves. And!! It matches Kit’s shorts, with that same hazy sunset aesthetic! Also I like the style of his flip flops. They’re very Dad. Aaaand I love his lil goatee/beard thing. Like it’s just such a look and works for him so I love to see it XD also love them carrying the beach bag and umbrella. And the labaos just have Good Arm Genes tbh because both mama and papa Labao got some good looking arms and I’m right.

Assahhh all the brothers!! I have to say that I love how the big brothers are carrying the little ones just aaahhh that’s so cute!! and I’ve gotta say I am thoroughly impressed with how much attention you paid to their character designs—like the hair? First of all, I love how all of them (including Kit, the Original Blueprint) have that perfectly messy Labao hair. But like, the slight difference in all their styles are still v much there—With Junior’s hair matching pretty closely with Eugene and Kit’s, and Marcus’s being more flipped up in the front, and Fritz with the straight-across bangs and just !!!!!! that’s them!!! And really small details, but I love that Junior is in a tank top and Marcus is in a t-shirt—just like they are the only times we see them in the comic XD I just love that you got their designs down so perfectly and paid such careful homage to Jo’s concept of them <3

Okay but Junior and Fritz? Adorable I love them. Love Junior charging after Luna and Eugene with Fritz pointing the way onward. And you know whose side they’re on XD Fritz’s little shark swim trunks are adorable and of course I love that they’re yellow sharks!! And his smile is a little sweeter than the rest of the boy’s gleeful mischief, which I think is fitting and darling. Also his hand is like. really well drawn. v dynamic and interesting and im not explaining it well but i like that you drew it that way. I like Junior’s swim trunks too—they kinda match with his parents’ which i think is adorable. And the movement of his tank top is really cool too—and I love the yellow stripe! kinda matches him to Eugene as well (and again, I love that because Kit, Eugene, and Junior are the most similar looking/styled ones, so it’s just fun that Junior matches with both). Also I love how kiddish they look—like the three little brothers all look like little kids, while Luna and Eugene have definitely been through good old puberty. just their little spindly arms trigger my affection so hard. babies. absolute babies. i love them.

Luna. just. love this girl. you know she puts up with a lot (and deals as much as she gets) with four brothers XD I just love the whole scenario and composition of this scene and Luna’s right in the middle of it. I love the way she is running full fucking tilt after Eugene and Marcus. You can tell she is pissed of and she means business. I can imagine the sorts of threats and names she’s yelling lmfao. And her hair is so pretty—i love the way it’s caught up in the movement of her running. It just looks v pretty and dynamic and the shape of it is just. cool. and her suit!! so pretty!! Love the black with purple detailing. Honestly, I’m sure Jesse would approve of the whole ensemble lmfao It seriously looks great on her and I love the butterfly pattern!! With that pretty, almost hazy cast to it that ties it nicely to several of her family member’s suits. and the lines down the sides of it!! so cool! legitimately an awesome and great looking suit, i love it. And the little moon and star logo! Such a great detail for Luna’s suit. and her calves look entirely capable of getting her to Eugene so she can clobber him XD may he rest in peace

Eugene and Marcus, what absolute little shits. I am POSITIVE it was Eugene who suggested Marcus ought to snatch Luna’s headphones (which I also love how true to canon you got them what with the purple padding!) Marcus holding them above him like a trophy is hilarious, and I can hear his manic giggles from that huge grin of his—which I love that it’s got that cute heart-shape to it that Eugene’s smile does <3 And the way he’s joyously kicking his legs is just too fucking cute. I bet he is a handful to keep balanced on your back XD Good thing he’s got Eugene holding him in place. oh Eugene. Older brothers are such a delight. I fucking love that this dipshit can’t help but look back even as he’s running away from the scene of the crime to goad Luna more XD Seriously, I love him. And their relationship. it’s perfect and you captured all the relationships and dynamics perfectly, so this one is no exception but just. Luna yelling while Eugene looks back at her to metaphorically stick out his tongue is so Top Tier I cannot fucking get over it. And as always, I love Eugene’s smile! Even shit-eating as it is currently lmfao it’s so bright and broad and I love the shape of it. And I love his hair being blown all over the place because he’s looking back while running forward haha. plus its so pretty and shiny. all the hair is just fucking gleaming under the sun and i love it. also. Eugene’s legs? you can tell this man does not skip out on leg day. damn. look at that muscle. Just those are some very nice legs sir. (and also i love that we can see he wears his muscle like his dad). Also I love how effortlessly he can hold up his little brother XD HELL to the yeah we love a shirtless eugene. those collarbones are poppin’ and I am here for it. He looks fantastic from tibbies to shoulders to arms as always <3 And his thighs too look immaculate and I love his swim shorts—love that they’re yellow, love the racer stripes, love the cut of them and how they fit on him….love the little happy trail sneaking out of them lmfao really he looks GREAT but nobody is surprised.

Okay and the scenery and vibes of this is just. so good. Love the happy sky and fluffy clouds and the smears of beach complete with those lil grassy tufts and the miniature dunes. and I love how the sand is soft and reactant under all their feet. Speaking of, I adore that the kids are all barefoot. Bet you Elizabeth has all their sandals in her beach bag <3 but it’s so cute that the kids match and I love that they’re so carefree and messy that way, anxious to get on with the fun. and the little pinknesses to their skin is SUPER cute here because it just makes them look sun kissed and its darling <33

I just love this so so so much jsfkhgesf the labaos mean the world to me and im so happy this beautiful art of them exists and i love it with my whole heart 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

summer shenanigans with the labaos 💛
