mixed myth reread liveblog #1

mixed myth is a 2001 webcomic by Robin, a fairly prolific webcomic author, hosted on comicgenesis in monotone pencil (except for rarer digital color pages). the site is a graveyard of links, but the strips are still fully hosted.

i'm very familiar with mixed myth- i've read it around six times. however i have a bad memory, and a lot of those were before age 15 so it's not totally engrained. i might be occasionally critical of some of the decisions, but those are probably going to be surface level: i think mixed myth is an awesome dip into slightly more involved webcomics, especially as one you can read in an afternoon.

i'd recommend you read it at the link below before reading this liveblog, as i am not going to be very good at avoiding spoilers for a 23 year old webcomic. It's a fun and fairly short read without information.

goals for this liveblog:

• talk about the art and panel composition

• provide alt text for the words if not the art

•try to deduce plot information being given by the art and story

•generally get more comfortable with writing for a potential audience

without further ado, the first page of mixed myth:

you get a sense that the author read a few clamp manga and got very inspired. the panel layout draws you from right to left through a slightly confusing chase sequence; cheetah griffins chase a green elf riding a horse off a cliff, where the elf and horse fall into the sea. this sets up that our protagonist is green, that something fantastical pursues her, and that she has a close bond with her horsie.

page 2 is a more typical example of a comic, and seems to set the tone quite nicely. bedraggled and wet, the horsie and elf climb out of the water onto shore, sniping about their circumstance. information: horsie talks.

3 has some incredible hair on horsie's part, and introduces a new character! so far, she seems like a fairly generic sphinx seeking answers to riddles rhymed.

4 shows us that horsie is not just belligerent to elf, he's also uncouth to sphinxes who ask for riddles. and the sphinx is willing to be rude right back! also sphinxy genre awareness.

5 has the elf answering the classic riddle with a long and convoluted answer, showing that she's a little quirky. it also suggests that the sphinx has some issues with her memory, perhaps?

9 drops some plot info on us: the person hunting our protagonist, Keeva, with griffins is her father!! she's half elf lord and half regular goblin, and elves are a rather silly bunch.

10 gives us the most important plot information of all: Puck, the horsie, is an alcoholic.

It took me 17 chapters to notice b/c I haven't been reading the comments, but is the background of @comicaurora's website basically "do you love the color of the sky"?!?! LMAO EXCELLENT

Main

Hello! I'm Pichu/Peaches and this is my webcomics liveblog-- since most of them are long enough that there's a huge backlog to go through. I've wanted to get into more of these kinds of comics in general-- I've always admired the art form for a variety of reasons, I've just never made the time to read them until now.

From how I do my other liveblogs-- I'll use the tags #pichlive and #pichlive [name of webcomic], along with probably where I'm at in the webcomic itself.

Webcomics I'm following:

Unsounded Ch1 Page 4

I always love recommendations! If you give me one and I decide I wanna follow it, I'll probably liveblog some of it at one point or another.

sometimes I put things on sideblog that don't even belong here like webcomics that I'm not ashamed to tie to my public persona

Welcome!

Heeeello and welcome to this Homestuck re-read blog. I'm Mio, a young (started reading HS back in 2018~ish) and veteran (read it several times + Voxus let's read) reader of Homestuck. Here's a few elements before starting: •This is NOT a blind readthrough, this blog will content many spoilers, minor or majors, so be sure to have read Homestuck at least twice (once for the first experience, twice for better understanding and catching on missed or overlooked details). If you have read it only once, chances are you heavily forgot the plot and will inadvertently spoil yourself. Awww wanna discover it blind with someone else? Go read this very cool Homestuck liveblog :) It's still ongoing! (don't scroll too much though to avoid the latest posted liveblog session) •There will be analysis, personal opinions, and I may not sound as cool as other HS Tumblr users but I do hope you'll enjoy the ride~ •This blog will definitely content slurs, whether in the comic itself or my comments. If this put you off, I'm sorry but I don't intent to censor myself on this. On the other hand I will definitely put content and trigger warnings as Homestuck explores heavy and even gory themes/imagery sometimes (ex: suicidal thoughts, blood, body horror, psychological horror…) •I love receiving asks! So if you have a question about the webcomic or just want to contribute to a reading session don't be shy ^^ •No hate mail and no character hate in my mail please. If you want to criticize something, do it in a constructive way. Also do it politely, thanks. TLDR; It's not a blind reading, please read HS beforehand (twice if possible). It's a modest attempt at liveblogging. There'll be slurs, be aware. No censorship about it, however CW/TW mentioned. I love fan mail, but not hate mail~ If criticism, constructive ones only. Enjoy~ Beginning.

i actually did post in the WHN comment section for this but i think the reason we're getting the reveal of xandra going to uni now is that her not being around is gonna end up kinda butterfly effecting vikki's mental state in the event of. What(ever) online drama bullshit Happens Next to lead to Vikki making the video (and whatever else she does after it i.e. if the suicide theory is true)

YJH: In complete denial, totally losing it while KDJ is dying, screaming his name, claiming he's not going to die, there's still time to save him, when my dude KDJ has a hole in his stomach the size of Texas KDJ in the "afterlife": Why is he upset? Why is he fighting the Catastrophe? I told him to run? I just don't get it???

...Dokja, you cannot be this oblivious.
