This, the Buddy for April 14th.

Not my best work, but it has a bit of nostalgic value for the red ink on black background.

Also nostalgic, the face, looking a bit like a sad Greek Theatre mask.

It sounds a bit silly now, but when I was younger, I was interested in Classical Greek comedy. Aristophanes and whatnot. I've read a lot of those plays. The Frogs, The Birds, The Wasps, The Clouds. That type of stuff. I guess I figured if I liked comedy, I should start with the earliest comedies known to man.

The Birds was the best one. A real rage-against-the-heavens type of plot, you know. Of course, I missed a lot of stuff because I didn't know enough about the culture of an ancient people, so the stories didn't make too much sense. Hell, even calling them "stories" doesn't really make that much sense, when you consider the background.

Still, I'd read a lot of plays. It's much cheaper than going to the theatre, you know, as Troy McClure would put it.

I also had a bit of an idea of making a comic based on those stories. Still kind of do, I guess, although I'm no longer working on it. I figured a long, multi-chapter saga about greek mythology could be like Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix manga, different stories joined by a recurring element.

But, that's a bit too ambitious for a dude who barely has enough patience to make one drawing a day.

So true.

what a beautiful day to not be in high school

On a scale of Chang Geng to Luo Binghe, how well does your teenage protagonist cope with the realization that he has a massive thing for the guy that's basically raising him?

I decided to go through my old warm-up notebooks from my honours english class and in one of the warm-up prompts, I said I wanted my superpower to be "controlling the effects of [my] puberty," and I'm glad to say that I've gotten that superpower. It took a very long time, but that's a superpower I can check off my list

"james bullied severus" are you trying to tell me you never had the experience of a mortal enemy that stemmed from a stupid, childish reason? a classmate you had such absolute beef with that you and your friends and him and his friends would prank each other and fight each other and call each other names??

Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi, is officially voted..

Guilty! (62.5%)

According to the verdict system, she should be able to come back home safely, but her being a murderer will become known to everyone and it will be up to the outside world to judge her.

Thank you for your participation.

This is the Buddy for April 10th. Today's Buddy's brought to you by the sin of pride. That's like, the main sin, Lucifer's sin, like in: "The sin of pride," the devil cried "is what will do you in."

"I thought we had this settled. I'm the best there's ever been."

Buddy himself, like everyone from Argentina, has quite a big ego. But I wouldn't say his friends are far behind:

I know a lot of people who share that sentiment. I wouldn't say I'm above it, either. There's also:

Yeah, I mean, I've got a bit of impostor syndrome. Even though I'm better than God himself, when I see that drawing, it looks like something a child could've made in less than a minute. The world needs more humble geniuses such as myself. Then again:

That's a fact.

There are basically two ways people can end up swallowed by their own egos. First, there's the type of person who assumes they're better than everyone and they just need a chance to show it. Those are the fame-hungry people who end up on reality shows and crap like that, to show off their mediocre skills and end up trashed by the hosts. Or, you know, the self-published authors whose epic sci fi saga "Gary Stu Versus The Evil Aliens that Look Like my High School Teachers" is available online. Negative reviews were written by jealous shills. Paul T. Goldman, from the Peacock documentary of the same name, is one of those.

Then there's the second type, the type I belong to. That's the type of person who's very aware everyone else thinks they're terrible, but that's because everyone else is stupid. So of course they won't love me. You don't expect swine to love pearls, right? They don't get how amazing I am because they're all braindead. So I don't expect all those morons to realize I'm amazing. After all, they're the ones who made garbage like Power Rangers, Fifty Shades of Grey, Jersey Shore and Limp Bizkit into worldwide successes.

Luckily, that means I can't lose. Any criticism directed towards me is actually a compliment in disguise. After all, if an idiot (i.e., 99.99% of the world population) dislikes me, I must be doing something right.

[paranormalglass]

if you ever write me an email please note this is how it finds me.

[ahc-au]

Heyyy! Love this au and I've gotta know something.

As far as we've seen Bishop's personal guards are all aliens and mutants and an oddly expressive Kraang. Personally I find it hard to believe that even as the beloved and totally-not-evil president, Bishop would ever trust aliens with his personal safety. Especially since in "The Day of Awakening" we see Bishop's personalised task force and it's 99% humans and one Triceraton (and the turtles ig). And I believe that one triceraton is just there for the sake of "Hey, why is there only one alien?"

In short, why do you think Bishop would trust aliens/mutants enough to make them his bodyguards? Or is there more to it?

Hello!! Fellow Bishop stannie 🫵 Very glad to hear you're enjoying the AU!

I'll say that I do believe the majority of Bishop's force is human, moreso because he operates out of earth and humans are still the overwhelming majority there. Any unnamed guards (or maybe they'll get names too eventually?) can be assumed to be human. The four named guards are, in a meta sense, pre-existing OCs repurposed to fill out the background and make the world feel a bit more lived-in.

It's worth mentioning that Bishop does not feel the same about aliens that he did in his EPF days. That's the major reason EPF is gone, after all! He still won't trust any of them, but that's about on par with how he treats anyone: distant and distrustful, hidden under a veneer of politeness. The way I've always parsed it, Agent Bishop didn't see aliens as people, more demons, and then being rescued threw that entire belief out of wack. So now humans/Terrans and aliens are a bit closer to the same level, for him. He'll prioritize Earth's citizens, but that seems to include some extraterrestrial immigrants, too, nowadays.

So! Having said that, there's a few other elements that go into it. For one, frankly, it just looks good for Bishop to employ aliens from among PGA's allies. It's a show of trust-- not that he entirely does; vets them very thoroughly. For another, non-humans just have really handy abilities. This gives him more versatility in how he can choose to approach a problem, if one ever arises (he is, after all, a military commander at heart.) For example (since I doubt it'll ever come up,) Hambone has an elasticity that means she can absorb blunt force and fit through small spaces. Lyssis (who has not made an appearance yet I'm p sure, woops,) can absorb fire and elecricity. Stuff like that, yknow?

Anyway that's about the jist of it, I hope that's a satisfactory conclusion! Some of these characters also have more involved reasons for getting recruited, but since that gets into OC lore I'll leave it below the cut 👍

--Adelram

I think it should be fine to divulge a little lore since, again, background characters, probably won't come up too centrally. Hambone and Lyssis were mutated incidentally in an attack on PGA HQ back in 2080. Bishop publicly took it upon himself to rehabilitate the mutants involved, (who had been driven mad and violent by the strange mutagen,) handing them off to his personal scientists. He kept closely involved, hoping to find a lead to the source of the attack, and for this reason both mutants partly credit him for their recoveries and even being able to meet each other. They're loyal for this reason, and he knows it. They are also undoubtedly citizens of Earth.

Ritter is a bit more of a wacky story, one that won't really effect the plot. But their being an Utrom is not publicly known, as it happens. It's not a secret, per se, but they pass so well that most people assume they're human. They've been around since EPF, having served under Agent Bishop among its ranks. Bishop is aware they're an Utrom, and unfortunately they've proved very loyal and very useful, so he supposes he has to keep them around. It is pretty nice having a guard who doesn't need to sleep and only eats like once a month. This is also kinda the only life Ritter has ever really known, being under Bishop's command. They'd follow him anywhere, would do anything he asked of them.

please do not tell me you like how i write, because i will inevitably think i'm decent at it and think i'm worth appreciating
