this weeks chapter was very... :/

i don’t even hate the chapter this week like content wise i don’t think it’s a bad chapter i just think that the lead up (the entirety of the culling game) and the pacing and gojos reaction to everything is making it all very. meh to me :/

the whole culling game wasn’t my favorite for a lot of reasons and i don’t necessarily blame gege for it completely. i think that there isn’t an arc better than hidden inventory and there aren’t any fights better than the ones in shibuya, so following both of those really incredible arcs with another that is supposed to be equally as good or better does not seem like an easy thing. (spoilers for CG and new ch. under the cut)

one of the reasons the fights in shibuya are sooo good to me is because they are fights that are deeply rooted in character and character development. maki killing the zenin clan, megumi fighting toji, etc. the itadori-mahito fight at the end of the shibuya arc is entirely a character/meant for character development fight for itadori, with his whole "i am you, you are me" realization/acceptance, and it is arguably the best fight in the manga like it is sooo good.

but there arent any fights built around character in the culling game and like. given that gege has made such amazing, character oriented fights in the past. it is a little bit disappointing. esp since i don’t personally want to just watch/read a bunch of fights repeatedly like i WANT there to be some kind of deeper meaning/purpose to them (outside of trying to end the culling game/free gojo obv). makis fight in the CG is probably the most “character” oriented fight and i was just very eh about it :/ but i love maki <3

the treatment of the women in the CG recently has just turned me away from the manga in general too. scorpion hair remi girl was fucked, uro not having more of a role was disappointing, yuki DYING wasn’t great.

tsumiki was the reason i didn’t stop reading the manga earlier in the arc because i was looking forward to her having her moment for LITERALLY THE ENTIIREEEE ARC. just for gege to do that to her and it reallllyy pissed me off.

as much as i hate how tsumikis arc went, i think i could’ve been a liiittle bit more accepting of it if the whole yorozu-sukuna thing was done well. but i didn’t like that either LMAO. i think the whole “yorozu loves sukuna and she sees how lonely he is etc” is like. a cool concept overall and i think if it was done right it could’ve been a good addition to the plot. even if there was just a little bit more of a flashback of yorozu and sukuna from that era with more information and context i think it would’ve made it a lot better. and i could’ve been like. a tiny bit less pissed about tsumiki. but the fact that it wasn’t a very satisfying arc for tsumiki OR yorozu just made it all very underwhelming to me. esp since tsumiki was what i was looking forward to the most in this arc 🙃🙃🙃

so yeah this chapter wasnt the worst thing in the world its just very underwhelming bc everything that led up to this was really underwhelming for me too :( and gojos reacction in this chapter is. upsetting. esp following the whole yorozu-sukuna thing and the "sukuna is lonely" part of it. like sukuna and gojo are meant to be foils of each other. gojos character is built around the fact that he has those connections and relationships with his friends and the students and he fell in gay love with geto and he "wont let anyone else be lonely" like the relationships he has is WHY HES LIKE THAATTTTT. him having no reaction to nanamis death and nobaras condition and maki and megumi and ALL of his students feels like a very surface level "gojo is a funny silly goofy guy" thing to do. but i would like to believe that gege knows and cares about his characters more than a surface level interpretation but. idk well see i guess. i just would have liked to see the sukuna-gojo being foils of e/o actually being played out narratively in these past few chapters more. but hopefully there'll be more of that during the next arc.

anyways so like. the chapter itself is not necessarily bad i just think that the CG itself was really abrupt and lacked a lot emotionally/character wise (for me at least), and then the pacing of this whole thing has been really off for me so its hard to look at the whole thing collectively and actually like it lol.

i feel like gege is really just trying to speedrun the rest of the manga and move onto something else which SUCKS bc it has soo much potential to be sooooo good. whatever anyways goodnight.

#here is my jay jay kay think piece for everyone im gonna hibernate from the manga again until it gets good again #asks #anon #jjk 222 #jjk spoilers #giving gege the benefit of the doubt sound off in the comments if thats a good or bad idea #gonna chose to believe this whole thing will be explained and dvlpd through flashbacks in the next arc #and yuki will be alive actually and nobara will come back <33 #and tsumiki is alive too🤩🤩🤩🤩 #(<delusional) #cant believe they actually did a time jump to dec 24 lmfao gay ass battle #anyways final review of the chapter: #favorite part was ino <3 my boy who ill protect with my life #and shoko <3 my wife #cons too much inumaki

hi! I just binge-read all of the bright side in a few days (thank you, obscure webcomic tournament) and just had to come here and say how good it is. truly wonderful. recommending it it all my friends. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed reading it. anyway thank you for bringing so much joy to my life lately, it means a lot.

Omg!!!!! This is so lovely!!!!! I'm so so glad!!! Yes I do love to make it, it continues to be my most powerful brain worms, really anybody enjoying reading it is just a big bonus 😆 but for real this message brings me huge huge joy and means a lot also, really touched that you sent this! Thank you!! I hope you (and any of your friends, wah) continue to enjoy!! ;_;

#...also touched that someone submitted it to that tournament! and by their summary asjfk #I missed the deadline to submit it myself and it fully didn't occur to me than anyone else would ;_; tysm #on the other hand now I'm like competitive and like I hope NOONE reads my comic so it can WIN HAHAHA #but I do want people to read and enjoy it lol. inside there are 2 wolves #there's a song called 'death and the maiden' by the verlaines and the opening goes 'youre just too too obscure for me' so. There's that too #BTW if you're wondering when the next update will go up: #I don't know #due to reasons chapter 54 has been a lot easier to draw than chapter 53 #I've never drawn chapters out of order before. Pros and cons #at least when I finally finish chapter 53 the next chapter can just go immediately #and then I'll have a much bigger buffer than ever before in my life #but ... for now ...... a bit stuck on some stuff #lost in the weeds again. You could say. #It's fun but that's one of the problems kinda.

i've probably said it in the past, but one of the things i'm weirdly looking forward to with my writing going forward is knowing that i will not be posting a new story until it is 100% complete.

one of the things my fic Second Chances is suffering from is there's a bunch of things i've thought of now that i would have loved to explore further. i wish i would have explored cynthia's side of things more. i wish i would have dug into more of her internal turmoil of "my mom died when i was young, my sister ended up being a teenage mother because our grandmother was hellbent on punishing her instead of helping her, i have no idea of who i really even AM, i put all my energy and focus into college, and my girlfriend who is this burgeoning actress, and oops girlfriend left me without a reason and i'm close to graduating and now i really don't know who i am, and oh my fucking god now grandmother is dying and i have no closure on her AND ex-girlfriend clearly left me for some famous rich man and i'm Spiraling" and UGH there's so much more i know i could have done better.

Getaway Car is suffering massively from "the thought police online are going to Get Me because there's some dubious morals in this story--like diantha DID basically cheat on Mel, too by all technicalities". also. cynthia was absolutely supposed to have a bit of an 'odd' relationship with her manager in the sense of 'we have this weird homo-erotic relationship with one another that neither of us are willing to really acknowledge. like we spend way too much time outside of work together and talk to one another in ways a manager-client relationship isn't supposed to' and then it would all blow up in her face and force cynthia to realize what was happening once she and diantha were official--but i got Too Scared and cut out most of it and UGH there's also a bunch of little things i wish i could change/fix

and ALL of that could have been avoided if i had just....made the first draft, gone through an editing process, and decided from there what needed what.

#my other ongoing fic Stockholm also suffers from 'the thought police are going to Get Me' bc like. dub-con whoops! #anyways #looking forward to getting getaway car finished next month #if i so badly want to i can write a revision but that can come once the thing is finally done #patience when it comes to my art is always something i've struggled with #talking tag #writing tag #the posting chapter by chapter was good at the time for the validation #but now i'm at the point where i would be more satisfied with posting something that i know is complete #i'm sure that won't stop the occasional moment of 'someone pointed this thing out and MAN i wish i would have thought about that so i could #-explore that idea even more!' but still

Well something's gone fucky with the link it looks like, but here is (finally) the next chapter of the teacher AU!

Summary: The long-anticipated teacher-student volleyball game is interrupted by a minor problem in the basement.

#bionicle #writing #fanfiction #i put this in the notes too but no chapter next week i'm at a con

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

I made the fatal mistake of taking a break from writing Dadler lives au in the middle of the chapter.

Thus the stream of consciousness is lost and I'm trying to remember how the hell the scene went in my head.

#the cons of dadler lives is it has no clear outline #just shananigans and suffering #the funniest thing is that dadler gets that shower before Moon does in twins lol #meanwhile the next chapter of lofi needs to decide if it wants active or passive voice #probably active cus i feel a lot of people miss Sun #lol i dont but ya know #yeah i play favorites what of it fhdhfhg

[inhibitcomic]

accidentally drew up the sketch for the inhibit book 2 cover even though it’s still a whole year away oops ooops oops oops

#im on holiday from work for 2 months which means i get to focus on inhibit and that means my brain is going insane #very excited to finally have book 2 on my con table so i can stop laughing nervously when people open up book 1 and look at the ch 1 art #also since ive already drawn ch 10 which is the next chapter to go up on the site #and am instead working on chapter 11 which is the final chapter in the book #it means i cant even post wips because it's like all spoilers #love to draw a webcomique
