The Path To Freedom [PART 13]

Read from left to right

The Path To Freedom is OFFICIALLY FINISHED‼️🤩

I will soon compile the references, inspirations and thought processes behind this comic into a few pages explaining them in detail, but until then I'm really interested to hear what your thoughts are. Whether it's pointing out parallels / reverse cards / references you recognized, or naming your favorite scenes, giving opinions, even writing any analysis, really anything that comes to your mind, feel free to share!

By referencing Fyodor's canon goal, I chose an open ending to leave room for interpretation what Fyodor's future could look like in this universe. Will he fail and have to come to terms with Nikolai's death? Will he succeed? And if he does, how would Nikolai feel about being brought back to life? Is Fyodor's ideal world even possible? There are a lot of questions to think about and use to create all kinds of different possible scenarios, and if you happen to be inspired to write or draw something related to this comic, I'd be more than happy to read it :D

Thank you for all the support throughout the whole thing! Not only was the comic extremely fun to create but seeing your reactions to the different parts made the experience feel much more “alive”. (I especially enjoyed your pain and suffering😁👍)

Thank you🤍

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

I recently made a couple of videos about an interesting group project in my Online Fandom class a few years ago, so I thought I would share here, too!  

TL;DR A group of students who knew nothing about fanfiction before this class really wanted to study sports fandom, so they did a study about sports RPF. Their research question was: What factors contribute to which athletes are most commonly written about?  In case you don’t want to watch the video, answer below the cut…

Watch netflix make a really shitty adaption of goncharov and expect the tumblrina’s to eat that shit.

Must See

There’s annoying tendency in left-wing film criticism to write reviews of movies with the twist being that the reviewer never saw it. All the trenchant commentary they made was based on the publicity campaign, the word from other reviews, and predicting forward from past films from that studio or franchise. Zizek did it with Matrix Resurrections and SMG did it with Avenger’s Endgame. It’s dumb trope and I *like* SMG and Zizek. I’m sure you’ve seen the trend going around.

It’s a joke see, that everything is so predictable that an observer of culture can see it without seeing. And yes, true, you’re very clever, but so what? I’m clever too - so what have you TOLD me that I did not already know? Every time we watch a movie is an encounter with the Real. We can choose to see only the properties we expect - how likable the characters are, is the franchise fading, whether right wing OR left wing tropes appear and how many - or we can actually see the thing in itself. We can notice that for all Love and Thunder is cheap mood-killing jokes for the first hour, there’s a half an hour of dead serious emotions filmed in black and white. We can notice how incredibly cute the outfits of the horror movie’s Final Girl are. We can apply our own perspective to the film - not just in our ideological interpretation, but simply what details you caught no one else did.

This is why the greatest sin is to read only the reviews and the fanfic and godforbid the DISCOURSE around a film and think you don’t actually need to see the movie yourself. To think picking up “the vibe” is enough of a replacement for direct experience.

To know the truth, you must see Goncharov yourself. Until then, everything is shadows against the cave wall.
