Day 16

Log of the Demeter is by far my favourite arc in the book. The weight of these people trapped in a boat with a most horrifying monster killing them one by one and them being none the wiser to it, only knowing that their fellow crew keeps disappearing. It's such a tragedy.

"I want you to hypnotise me!" she said. "Do it before the dawn, for I feel that then I can speak, and speak freely. Be quick, for the time is short!"

This is (for me) the perfect counter attack ever done to the Count in this whole novel. It's such a masterful move against him that which leaves no room for him ever escaping in an actual way that matters expect waiting for the gang to naturally die of old age.

Mina literally reserved the Count's hypnosis into his own brain! The same hypnosis he used with the Weird Sisters, with Lucy, with the wolves, with Bersicker, it only took Mina a day to understand not only how it worked, but also how to block it then reverse it so she can know where the Count is headed is the kind of proactive move that Mina would do.

Remember that this is after the horrific trauma that Mina went through yesterday. She is still shocked, and in low energy for the most part, but that doesn't stop Mina from getting closer to her personal revenge against the Count while using any means she can find. Whenever it's her trusted typewriter, or her own mind in a void state, Mina is a resourceful woman established to always find a active solution to any problem that she finds.

The fun thing about CFAU danny is that he grew up in crime alley during his early developmental and foundational years, and was only in amity park for four years before his accident. Which means: potential to explore how this affects his personality. How does he act?

If he grows up in crime alley, which is rife with violence and crime and he like everyone else bares witness to it, how will that change who he is compared to canon?

Because he’s not gonna be the exact same as canon, thats not how development works. Something’s gonna change. So is he violent? Is he a thief? A liar? A follower, a leader? A backstabber? How selfish is he? Because selflessness gets you killed.

How willing is he to get shot/stabbed/murdered/trafficked for another person when he’s surrounded by people who take priority over themselves more than others? And is largely not taught otherwise? (And are valid for their self-preservation?)

What’s his kindness look like, is it rough? Tough love all the way through, showing other kids how to bloody up their knuckles to keep their own face safe?

Showing kids how to file down their teeth with the broken glass at their feet, so that when they bite they make it hurt?

Or is it more gentle, but still bloody, showing kids how to keep their head down and out of the way of the bigger, meaner kids barreling their way past? How to blend in, how to hide? How to not get caught?

Is it a third option, and always bloody, always hurting? Does he get in the way, take the hits? Always a shield, never the shielded? His nose having been broken so many times it’s permanently crooked, are his eyes always black? His lip always bleeding? Does he have scars?

Is it a fourth option, a fifth option, a sixth? Is it bloody? It may as well be, Crime Alley is always bloody. Always bleeding. Danny will see death, he will see suffering, he won’t unless he closes his eyes and covers his ears.

Does he have bad habits? Stealing, smoking, drinking, kids mimic the adults and even if his parents try to teach him out of it, it takes a village to raise a child. If the village is violent, then the child will be too. Is he malnourished? Jason was. He will be.

How does Dan change in comparison to canon vs a Danny who grew up in crime alley? Does he change at all? Or is Danny just more horrified by him, because he’s more similar to him than he previously thought?

What are his thoughts on Batman and Robin? Does he like them, think them myth, distrust them? How does his time in Gotham influence his perspective on the people there, on the world around him? His thoughts on Bruce Wayne (beyond the improbable him immediately figuring out Bruce Wayne = Batman)? The Elite? Does he have an accent? What’s his education like?

And CFAU Danny is fun because I get to explore that. He is ultimately still Danny - still kind, and selfless, sarcastic, punny. But how does he show it? What other traits does he have? What has changed, and what has stayed?

someone on a discord server recommended my art by saying "this is the guy that drew Midna and wolf Link like mlp ponies" so it's good to know my inability to draw legs like legs or wolves like wolves is my current legacy on this site. I'll wear this badge with pride and a side of shame

[glitzbot]

HAHAH I WISH I was some kind of time wizard, but the truth is I have been drawing these stolitz comics since March and just never got around to posting them here

when Riven!Mara told Uldren "you looked into an abyss, bowed to false kings and suffered uncountable betrayals. you were humiliated, imprisoned, manipulated... Taken. and still you have up everything, because you love", she really wasn't wrong. she literally did not lie.

Dot and Spinel have a fascinating dynamic that keeps me awake at night and is so underrated. God I love enemies who are the exact same in some ways and complete opposites in others.
