A little hopeful moment which I missed on the first watch, but which I think is so important. Nina and Maggie come to have their talk with Crowley. Now, we all know that Crowley is Maggie—yes, sure, Nina is sarcastic and suave and cool and calls Maggie angel—but it’s obvious that Crowley is Maggie and Nina is Aziraphale. Crowley even admits it himself in the very beginning of this conversation when he tries to justify meddling to get Maggie and Nina together:

“Nina needed rescuing.” Yeah, you know who else always “needs rescuing”? Anyway, moving on.

Nina says she just got out of a relationship and it would be a disaster to get into another one right away. And then this happens:

Nina says she hopes Maggie will still be around, but she knows she can’t ask Maggie to just wait while she figures out her own baggage. There's no guarantee. And then Maggie interjects—

The parallel between Maggie/Nina and Crowley/Aziraphale is so intentional as to feel heavy handed. So what does it mean that we get this exchange in at this particular moment in the script—buried within the conversation which is the catalyst for Crowley confessing his feelings, occurring in the lull immediately before the spectacular dissolution of everything the first two seasons were building towards?

“We could have been us,” Crowley says. Crowley walks out of the bookshop. Crowley turns off their song in his car. Whatever tentative blooming thing has been building between him and Aziraphale for six thousand years appears to be very clearly over. Aziraphale presses the kiss to his lips and knows there is no guarantee they will ever have a chance to be together. There's no guarantee that Crowley will ever want to forgive him, that he will keep on waiting for him.

But.

There is.

V.S. New Squidbeak Splatoon

A recent idea for #re_rise that I’m surprised that I didn’t come up with earlier– I think the Squid Sisters would make a much better ‘misunderstanding boss fight’ than Deep Cut would. ^^ 

Of course, your actual fight would be with the Captain (callback to the Agent 3 fight from Octo Expansion~), as Callie and Marie toss in bombs and sniper shots with increasing intensity as the battle progresses.

This fight ensues when you finally run into them in Alterna Space Center, looking quite fuzzy and suspicious at this point in the game. ^^; Deep Cut is elsewhere and unable to assist you in the battle, but they can at least give you hints and advice through comms while they rush to catch up with you.

After it’s all over, and the two idol groups meet face to face, it’s through their dialogue that you finally learn what’s going on. Deep Cut chastises the Squid Sisters for thinking you could’ve had anything to do with their grandfather’s disappearance, and they sheepishly apologize for attacking you (even though the battle was pretty exciting~). From here on out, they join you as guides as you ascend the launchpad.

Why is it that scratches, cracks and divots are so much fun? They are so simple to do but whenever I add them to a background i immediately feel like I’ve peaked as an artist

Anyway, some moodlighting and perspective practice with future tiding over stuff

episode three has not freed me as of yet they have not freed me as of yet

Yay for plot progression!! I'm really excited with all that's going on and to see what comes next.

But on another topic: on a scale of 1 through 10, how fun was drawing that low angle when Hake says "fuck the tide"? It looks really good, but I just *know* I'd struggle with getting the face right

yaya!!! thank you!

it was fun! I sketched the page for the first time in 2021, its been a scene i've been looking forward to.

I'm glad that ive learned how to push perspective a little further than I could a few years ago, i've always wanted it to be that nice low angle, but perspective is beyond me most of the time lol

happy with it for the most part though! cant wait to redraw it in 3 years for fun d:

After Ody gets home and, of course, slaughters all the suitors and reunites with his wife and son, that man absolutely sat down with a council and immediately pulled out schematics, like:

"Cool, cool. So, first things first: We're building new temples for Athena and Hermes. What? Placement? Oh, yeah... Just knock down the Poseidon one. It's fine. I stabbed that God, like, 20 times into submission. Pretty sure that means the ocean is my b*tch now....And f*ck that guy anyways, am I right? So, for Athena's temple, I'm definitely thinking blue✨-"

The "average Jojo appears in 2 animated parts" factoid is actualy just a statistical error. The average Jojo appears in a little over 1 animated part. Jotaro Kujo, who is Araki's favourite little boy and has appeared in 5/6 animated parts, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
