#or like. do their job. at any point

[americankimchi]

the temptation to write a fic rewriting the wayhaven chronicles from the ground up is growing with each day. my current ideas:

1. if we keep the original plot intact we HAVE to make the detective a civilian so they truly have no influence to enforce the law, allowing for the bobby related plot threads to continue unimpeded + explaining why the detective does zero actual investigation. asking one or two surface level questions does not a detective make. it would also explain why the detective doesn't have any real training and why they don't do any of the obvious things (why is calling for reinforcements + collecting evidence at the warehouse two separate things in book 1? why wouldn't any detective worth their badge not do both?) this would also explain why the detective is such a passive character for the entirety of the books—as an untrained civilian they are completely out of their depth. the detective leaning so heavily on the agency and their hastily explained, lengthy absences from the small town of wayhaven would be less of an issue this way.

2. the detective stays a detective, but the plot shifts to account for that. in this route the mystery/story actually follows something along the lines of a crime serial, making the mystery the A-plot and the character arcs the B-plot that weaves all three books together, instead of the reverse being true. twc right now from a purely narrative perspective is using the crime as a vehicle for the romance, but doing so in a way that makes the detective look utterly incompetent at their job. book 1 would focus entirely on the mystery of the murders, the inconsistencies found in the blood, and the political strife between the police station and the hospital that stems from the mayor's stingy funding of both. the romance would simmer slowly in the background until it climaxes at the end during the rescue mission, but it wouldn't be the focus. that would be saved for book 2, where the mystery of the sudden disease's source would walk in tandem with the detective's growing feelings for their chosen love interest(s). the detective's skills/stats would also come into play more, instead of one or two throwaway lines that don't contribute anything to the resolution of the cases. bobby would also have to tread more carefully in this route if they don't want to be hit with a restraining order/etc. depending on your choices. the agency's jurisdiction would also be a line of tension between the wayhaven PD and the mayor/agency, adding to the tension (if any) between the detective and rebecca. this could lead to a dramatic clash between the police chief and the mayor, with the detective having to pick sides at the end of future books.

im not even touching the forced personality of the detective because i feel like anyone who's played (read: tried to play) a stoic/intimidating detective would quickly find themselves watching their OC be possessed by the protagonist of a YA romance every time they open their mouth. your stats might as well be a decorative slider in the settings for all they're worth.

Idk who needs to hear this but time and time again isn't over!!!

Webtoon removed the "time and time again will return!!!" Banner and I don't know why, but it's not over!!! There's still another 1/3 of the comic to go! There's a lot more stuff that I'm working on and it'll be coming back soon!

Please be patient with me, I know it's been a long time... But the stuff I'm making is really good and there's a lot of reasons it's taken this long. I promise I want it back more than anyone.

I'm trying to come back around the end of October. I'm doing my best to get everything ready in time, so no promises, but I'm on track to do so! I'm just one person writing and drawing everything, and my editor was fired so I'm not even getting any notes anymore. It's literally just me. I'm doing my best I promise!

Prompt 168

So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 

See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 

But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 

Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 

What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots.

the particular bad guy of this episode, a little apprehensively: the audience wants to see me die?

nate, with more sincerity than anything he's said to anyone in her presence before: like you wouldn't believe

Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?

put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings

I think it would be really funny if rin was the more helpful one around his house. Like u would think rin would be the disrespectful one who always bails on housework or mass but its actually yukio who would always have an excuse not to go or forget about chores to the point that rin just does them instinctively now

Ulysses obsession with the Courier is a special type of sad to me cause the Courier’s part was so important but so unwitting. They had no idea what was in the package they delivered and neither did he. Neither had an idea of what it could’ve done and the Courier was only caring out their job (mind you the Courier could be killed via notes in the express contract if they don’t). To them it was just another regular delivery to the divide and one that they likely thought would help, just like all the ones before.

It’s so tragic for Ulysses to hold so much ire to the Courier when it really was the case of it could’ve been anyone. Anyone could have delivered that package but they did and so he focused the blame on them and it destroys what he is trying to instill in the courier on a fundamental level.

You doing ok?

do you ever think about how Ohkubo extremely casually dropped the fact that Spirit & Kami were teen parents & then proceeded to never expound upon that fact or bring it up ever again despite it explaining a whole lot about them & Maka
