"The art of the compromise;

Hold your nose and close your eyes.

We want our leaders to save the day,

But we don't get a say in what they trade away.

We dream of a brand new start,

But we dream in the dark for the most part.

Dark as a tomb where it happens,

I've got to be in the room!"

Hi pals,

Just dropping by to let you all know that I’m going to be travelling in a few days back to the west coast best coast to spend time with family, so I might be even slower than usual about checking the tags. Please do message me here or @allbeendonebefore if I miss something that should get reblogged!

Remember: the #pcart and #pcfic tags are just for internal blog organization and I will not find them if you tag your own work as such, please use #projectcanada, #iammatthewian, #iammatthewianproject, #iamp, etc. and I will hopefully spot it!

Also want to say that the queue hasn’t been this full in literal years, thanks to everyone who’s been creating content recently, we love to see it :)

stickers of my d&d party! we've got: (short character descriptions under the cut)

1. Mina - a middle aged accountant, catholic Procan worshipper & divorcee. fishing unionist, may be committing white collar crime;

2. Galadriel (not her real name) - her adoptive daughter who won't stop letting feral animals into the house, destroying the kitchen with her attempts at cooking & breaking into her filing cabinets;

3. Oscar - a fisherman & freight shipper. has no impulse control -- his impulses are honourable but usually ill-advised. hates necromancy;

4. Cal - Oscar's best friend & (not so secretly) a necromancer. works in the mines, which all the fishermen vehemently oppose, but I'm sure that's fine and will cause no problems whatsoever;

5. Burrich - a gravedigger with a complicated relationship with Procan. somehow has even worse impulse control than Oscar. just here to have a good time & is feeling so attacked right now;

6. Varsill - Oscar's coworker in freight shipping. can usually be found staring into the middle distance & committing acts of violence. ngl, I still barely know anything about this guy. I asked him about his home town, and he said that it was 'a place', so...

aHA bet you weren’t expecting an External Perspective in the form of Annie Montgomery were you? ...I haven’t actually finished writing the next page which I was supposed to do while I was on winter break :’ ) so it might take a little longer than these past few pages.

Notes below

- I think Annie and Ben have an interesting dynamic which i touched on in the dominion day ep for procan. These two Atlantic island provinces both refused to join Canada in 1867; nowadays they are both struggling with aging populations, isolation, etc.

- Likewise I think Annie and Joel have an interesting relationship, they are canonically siblings for one, and having read their histories I think they have a chaotic but loving relationship that might not match the expectation. I think we tend to think of Joel as the party guy and Annie as the traditionalist, and while that may be true in their relationships with outsiders I think Annie is actually the loose cannon of the two that Joel is constantly trying to rein in a little. This is just based on the vibes I got reading about how each of them acquired responsible government, haha. Joel was the favoured imperial child while Annie was the one throwing bricks through windows.

- i am not unaware that Team Steak and Potatoes (AB/PEI) was a huge ship back in the IAMP days I just have no idea how to write it so you’d have to squint pretty darn hard :’ )

- re: annie’s outfit: i think because her day job involves larping as anne of green gables she needs a casual wardrobe that could fit in with the overall aesthetic but without being trapped in it if that makes sense (have i mentioned her internal struggle with hair dye yet?). The fox hat and clip on collar are references to the provincial animal - black and silver foxes were bred for their coats on the island around the turn of the century and I don’t doubt she still has some items trimmed with their fur.

- “slippy” and “been better but it costs more” are apparently both Islander phrases, hope I didn’t make her sound too hokey either. I’ve got to add some dialogue flavour and difference when I can; I can’t do it much for Bert because I already read his voice with High School Alberta Boy accent (a voice i don’t actually really do as his VA oops) and it drives me nuts.

- ‘provinces far younger’ okay paint a target on his forehead why dont you annie

[battle-of-alberta]

feeling sore and grumpy because i can’t focus on art so instead i’m just going to try to organize my thoughts regarding the potential survey projects, specifically the historical timelines. Feel free to ignore this if you’re not interested in the meta/behind the scenes nonsense. I doubt any of this makes much sense outside my own head, but I have to chuck it somewhere so I can examine it from a distance later.

so i was envisioning doing timelines in a similar manner as I did for the provinces back in ProCan, albeit probably a bit more condensed because I just don’t have as much easily accessible detail into each city and so on.

But I realized upon trying to piece this puzzle together a bit better that it might just be a lot easier and more productive to do a very short, almost abstract ‘history of alberta’ and I actually started scripting it a bit while I was sitting in the park a few weeks ago and sort of liked the storybook feeling of it.

that said, it’s still very difficult to do because when reading history, any history, the worst parts of it tend to weigh on you, and especially when you are reading sources that seem to glorify these things and you have to sit with that discomfort for a long while before you can even begin to consider depicting it.

it does make you think - what are the stories i want to tell, but also what are the stories that need to be told, either by me or someone else? what information do i need to present and why and for whom? and more specifically: what roles do the characters play in the stories? how will my writing look in a decade?

I do way more introspection like this than actually trying to tell stories, lol. It’s a little paralyzing sometimes.

Here is a specific question: how does aging work in this universe? To get a sense of it, you have to arbitrarily pick an end and then a beginning, and then you have to sort out what everything in the middle means. You are always working backwards and looking retrospectively, so it’s important to accept that first.

for me, I’ve always liked to have a sort of mythological edge when I’m thinking about stories (because my background is actually in classics and not Capital H History) and so I think that aging is not a linear or easily quantifiable process. But it has to be grounded in Something, if it is meant to be a tool to look at the past with, and it has to make sense to a reader in some way.

When I was doing ancient history, I used art historical periods because comics were a study tool for me - I did not use them because they were ways the ancients measured time in or understood themselves in because we very rarely have access to that sort of information on the one hand, and on the other the ways the ancients understood themselves varied wildly from each other and I needed a consistent benchmark for my own sanity, and that was that. For modern historical periods, I have access to substantially more information and the added “benefit” that the “culture” being depicted is a culture that in large part shaped my own understanding of the world. It is also a culture that is coming under much more scrutiny than it had been within my lifetime, and the way we understand and speak about it is changing with increasing speed.

For the ages specifically, I’m looking at understanding a slice of time that stretches at its outermost edge the briefest brush with the Regency period and has half of its bulk wedged firmly in the Victorian period, and that shapes so much of how we look at this history, it touches everything from the images we choose to represent ourselves, the architecture, the physical distances between the places and the means of connecting them. It affects how we talk about history and the language we use, it affects our perception of the people who have been here since time immemorial and it is the reason that they are still struggling with being referred to in the past tense because of this culture of “salvage” anthropology that dovetailed so neatly with geological expeditions of the same period. These ideas produced this province that struggles to define itself on anything other than natural resources because it is a microcosm of something that was happening across the globe two hundred years ago that has never gone away.

So, it makes sense to me, for better or for worse, to measure ages linked less to the passage of time and more to these Victorian notions of “progress”. I think the heart of the matter is ‘age’ is relevant somewhat to the self perception of the personification, whether or not they are at all aware - and that self perception would primarily be shaped by these colonial influences, both positively and negatively.

It’s very difficult to walk these lines in writing though, particularly because there is both a danger in equating childhood with innocence during some of the bloodiest times in the history of this place; and there is also a danger in using children to represent populations of adults. It’s something I’m not going to resolve in a dumb project such as this, but it’s something I still think about how to do in a thoughtful way. I don’t like the idea that stories featuring children should be taken less seriously or as less important than stories featuring adults, but I’m also not really someone who knows how to do that tactfully. 

I mentioned briefly non-linear aging and I suppose what I meant by that implies the possibility of aging out of order, or regressing in age, and that also feels like it is over-complicating the matter even if it is an interesting possibility and probably won’t be a tool in the kit. I tend more to think of it as plateauing for a very long time at one age or another - and the reason for doing so is a choice made by me as an author and not something a character would be conscious of doing.

I’m going to stop there before I fall off the whole train of thought and go pick up one of those candy sticks from the station or something. Thanks for making it through this muskeg if you got this far.

[quatschmachen]

This came to me and then I was forced to draw it and learn CSP. 

Not sure if I will continue, but figured, it can at least add spice to the pot.

@allbeendonebefore bullied me to post this comic ;o

But this entire aspect of FIFO (fly in fly out) relationship between provinces I find intriguing especially because there is a dearth of literature on this exact topic - how do the people from the different provinces influence one another? What cultural changes took place? etc etc

Feel free to drop me a line if you also have interest/ information on this topic.

Thanks so much for your patience, I had a lot going on with grad school and moving and retrieving the files and sitting down to put subtitles back on (they may not be synced properly when this posts, but I will go back and fix them as needed when I am able). Enjoy!
