Whenever I see people impatiently awaiting the next installment of their favourite franchise, I think about the Borrowers books and how Mary Norton originally ended her series with four books complete with a neat little bow that was the epilogue, confirming Arrietty's marriage to Spiller and their happy ever after, only to write a fifth book in the series a whooping twenty years after its original completion where ghosts are introduced into the world without explanation, a love triangle is forced between Arrietty, Spiller and new character Peagreen (who was made into her brother and his disability erased in the 1998 movie), the book ends on a cliffhanger with no resolution for any of the plotlines introduced; Arrietty's family STILL forbid her from mingling with humans and she chickens out on speaking with her friends from book 4 again, then Arrietty and Spiller fight over his refusal to interact with humans (which, given Spiller's backstory is entirely justified), Arrietty runs to Peagreen for comfort and the story ENDS, Mary Norton DIED before she could write the next book and conclude their story, if that's not bad enough, modern publications of book 4 omit the original epilogue so there's no clear satisfying ending, I think about this a lot

The Borrowers

Artica: Come on, Mr. Moon! It’s a great book, ergo, it’d make for a good stage adaptation! We could use all sorts of puppetry and tricks of the eye, there’s a sweet family moral, it may motivate our audience to read the books…

Johnny: And somebody sneezes in it.

Artica: Johnny, what did I tell you about grassing up?

Johnny: Hey, my primary school teacher made me read the source material! I’m not going to lie about it, especially if you’re going to make him read it anyway.

Buster: Artica, this is why I want to write more original shows…

and how lucky is todd, how lucky to have found a home in other people's hearts.

knox comes in without knocking, two t-shirts thrown over one of his arms like a waiter in a posh restaurant, the seams soft and worn. "you said you like this colour", he smiles, sitting down on todd's bed because it's no big deal, because he's comfortable enough, "and i think we have the same size."

they're sitting over a trig assignment, the tips of their hair brushing as they lean in close over the paper. meeks is frowning, exhaustion and frustration pulling at his eyebrows. "maybe it's- it-", todd starts, but the words clump in his throat and he's not that good at maths anyway. meeks smiles, a reassuring warmth in his eyes like dawn fog in summer. "no, go on."

charlie is laughing, laughing in a very big way because that's the only sort of laughter he's capable of - clutching his sides and doubling over, blindly grabbing at a street lamp for support. "you know", he says finally, wiping his eyes, his words slurred from drunken laughter, "you're way funnier than you give yourself credit for."

cameron drags his shirt over his head, already running, and todd is trying to catch up. warm, peagreen grass tickles his feet as he races down the short stretch of hill, throwing his shirt on top of cameron's which is already crumpled up by the peer. cameron yells "first!" and sputters lake water when todd jumps in after him, laughing, wet-haired.

"c'mon, one more sip." todd shuts his eyes and shakes his head, his exasperated chuckle doing nothing to hide the heat in his cheeks. "this is silly, you don't have to do this." pitts rolls his eyes and waves the spoon like a weapon until todd nods and lets pitts feed him another sip. "if this is the only way we'll get some food into you when you're sick, i'm ready to commit. now come on, there's still half a bowl of soup left."

I'm using @hiveworks' Micro Comic Summer event to expand my creative horizons with an autobiographical comic! This idea has been in my head for a long time, inspired by Lucy Knisley's work and the Secret Loves of Geeks/Geek Girls anthologies.

(Note: shortly after finishing this comic I discovered the term "aegoromantic", which means liking the idea of romance but not wanting it yourself. I'm so happy to know it's not just me who feels like this!)

For the curious, a list of the fictional characters included on each page is under the cut.

Wrede Page 2 Panel 1: Arrietty and Peagreen from The Borrowers Avenged by Mary Norton Panel 2: Hugo and Anthea from The Unknown Ajax by Georgette Heyer; Csevet and Maia from The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison Panel 3: Vincent (Knotty) from Widdershins by Kate Ashwin Page 3 Panel 5: Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman; Chrestomanci from the series of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones; Moist von Lipwig from Going Postal by Terry Pratchett; Tayse and Senneth from the Twelve Houses series by Sharon Shinn

via Daily Kos - peagreen "If you have not seen this video yet, take a deep breath before you do. I just watched it and am still shaking. It is the most powerful one I’ve seen. And ,my god, that’s saying something. If for many people January 6th is the red line or anything close this draws it as sharply as anything can."

I'm protesting Instagram's art compression, so here, have a clonewars art gallery.

slightly too real except it’s not in her preferred color schemes of mustard, barf and peagreen /

The colors are ugly but the shape of the top and bottom would seem to be the style Louise would use

yes
