Based off the doodles we just got from them, I'm going to guess Edd about to lose it and Tord beating Matt with a baseball bat (Tom's?) have some significance to the plot.
So I'm going to start with Matt and Tord. They don't get along at all in this comic, arguing about everything. Since the comic takes place in what I assume is 2005, this is the Zombeh Attack apocalypse before Matt gets zombeh-fied. Like any sane person they would panic, but the difference is how they resolve it. Tord can be an a/hole at times and say disturbing stuff, while Matt has issues with control and things getting out of hand. We obviously see this when Tord is suspecting Edd as a m/rderer. As for Matt, it's mostly when Tord first moves in and he says all this stuff against Edd. Also, when Matt snaps in one of the more recent pages saying that he couldn't have planned for anyone of this to happen.
Whatever happens in the apocalypse happens. With what we know about Matt so far, he might try to make a plan and get some control in. Tord probably disagrees with something, so they argue (as per usual). Edd's trying to difuse the situation, but it becomes a lot, even for him. Tord ends up breaking and then takes said bat and smacks him.
If not that, then Matt's making up a plan, and Edd's trying to tell him something, but he's kinda in his own world (hence the "you don't listen" being repeated). Then the whole bat &/ or shovel ordeal happens.
Hello I love your art!!! I was reading through your changeling au and Felix mentions that fae are creatures of mirth. They literally need attention to survive. But what kind of attention? I guess I'm wondering because Adrien has been in the public eye for a while now, but has been personally neglected for even longer. What does that mean for him? Is he starving? Is he in danger of dying? Does he even know it? (I assume not given he doesn't even know he's Fae).
If he is starving / in danger of starving who is the first to realize this?
it depends on the mirth, on the attention, on what it is they seek. Without making things too complicated - I don't like to define everything into neat little boxes after all, there's fun in nuance - Felix is just explaining from his experience, the Fae he was with tended to be "entertained" by certain aspects of their playing, which was the mirth that kept them relevant. Relevancy more than anything is really what keeps their wheels greased.
In Adrien's case though, the reason he's cloying for so many names and to have so many thralls and attendants is because he SHOULD be a more social creature and has been kept woefully alone. He is kinda starving in the way a fae starves - he's relevant, but only in an image his father constructs OF him, which means it isn't REALLY him - and he has no one to play with. No friends, no lovers, and no rivals, makes a very sad fae
You know what. Why do we as a touhou fandom not talk about the fact the pc98 songs are canon. They exist. In canon. Akyuu has them documented and has probably heard them. Someone within touhou's universe wrote them. Reimu could probably actually listen to her own theme. Were the songs actually written about the events of those games?? Was eternal shrine maiden written about reimu?? Was love colored magic written about marisa?? I'm going insane
HI. not a hazbin fan myself HOWEVER I am the Character Redesigner and I've wanted to redesign alastor FOREVER..... notes under the cut
gave him a dried blood/liver colour scheme
bone coloured accents to really lean into his theme and make him visually different from other characters
antlers more noticeable!!! they'd still grow when he gets Scary
really played into the idea of him being a carnivorous deer, that idea was so cool and I wish it was explored more visually
his staff is more recognisable as a radio device!! specifically an old fashioned one
kept the pinstripes in his original design but moved them to the pants
his bow tie is distinct from the rest of that area of his design!! in his original design it really gets lost in all the patterns and similar colours I feel
made him REALLY tall. like 7-8ft because its fun and scary
gave him glasses and not just a monocle. I think it suits him and the red lenses are more noticeable now!!
Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)
exactly like that! though she's not the only one...
edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭
i find it fascinating that we never followed through on the sylvari racism, or the norn's fight to get their home back, or the asura's societal response to primordus' death.
you do not UNDERSTAND how much Phil's monday lore stream fucked me up
he would NEVER raise his voice at his kids, let alone SCREAM like that. It's so clearly not him, something is so obviously wrong
also i didn't notice until after the stream was done but Phil spent so much of that stream getting things, stealing, doing bounties, it wasn't sudden, he spent the whole stream being greedy before the possession happened
Nobody ever tell me that Phil is bad at lore ever again dont talk to me
Some doodle requests of John Ward from insta. The ones submitted, in order, are:
Throws a bagel at him
Exorcising a demon child
Draw him pregnant
On all fours eating a pile of toes
I will perhaps post some other doodles of him because I'm getting back into Faith for the first time in a few years and I got some ideas while I was gone (namely one about a particular game over screen). Anyways see you guys later and sleep tight.
Fit: You know... There's a reason I'm a loner, that I'm a nomad, that I go from place to place. 'Cuz everywhere I go, people die.
Fit: I'm just- I'm a walking bad omen.
I know Fit probably said this as a joke and it wasn't meant to be that deep, but I've got a shovel and I'm ready to dig, because this comment fits his QSMP cubito way too well.

Fit: I had nothing to do with any of this! I had nothing to do with any of this! [He notices the Allays trapped in a room and gasps] Ohhh– C'mon, get out of here– You're gonna burn to death! Get out of here.
Fit: This is why I don't walk into churches. This is why I don't walk into churches, for this reason. You know– 'cuz it- it would just burn down. It would just burn down if I walked right in. This is what happens. I'm an unholy man.
[The sound of villagers dying]
Fit: Oh yeah, they're all dead. They're f- they're doomed. They are DOOMED.
Dono: You showed up and the mansion burned itself down, made a crack about never walking into churches, then thunder happened? Your manifestation skills are too damn high dude.
Fit: You know– ok, I'm a little cursed. I'm a little cursed, as you can clearly see. You know... There's a reason I'm a loner, in Minecraft, that I'm a nomad, that I go from place to place. 'Cuz everywhere I go, people die. Ehh... you know? I'm just- I'm a walking bad omen. I'm a walking bad omen. Look at this sht. It's- it- ugh...
How is my best friend Arthur has he helped you baldur any gates
He’s been good! My washing machine broke last week and I hauled it out the other day in preparation for the new one and he’s been loving his new Top Secret Hiding Spot.
We are taking a little bit of a Baldur’s Gate break right now just because I was getting burnt out. We’re slowly making our way through Mass Effect Andromeda for the second time. I’m very excited to get back to BG3 tho.
I left off right at the start of Act 2. I’m playing a Githyanki monk named Ez’rai and spent way too much time coming up with a backstory for them. I’m going to be romancing Wyll this time. I think Ez’rai growing up in such a harsh culture that didn’t have room for soft romance will go together in such a fun and cute way with Wyll. A noble’s son who is just so sweet and romantic and good.
