Young Miss Cassandra Goth really ought to be courted soon – as the most eligible lady in Willow Creek, she practically has suitors lining up outside her window! But she prefers to lounge in her Mama's old dressing gowns and work on her musical compositions. Little Mister Alexander is a right young genius – why, he's already mastered Latin and is a genius at mathematics, just like his Papa. Well, if Miss Cassandra refuses to wed, at least when little Alexander comes of age he'll certainly make a good match!

hilda characters in taskmaster, if this means anything to anyone:

for context, taskmaster is a show hosted by greg davies and pathetic assistant (/creator) alex horne. each series five comedians are made to do pointless and difficult tasks and are awarded points. it ends up being very very funny and very amicably argumentative.

for now, i'll do my classic 5 faves, but i would love to do more like edmund + some ocs!

hilda - starting with the kids, likely winner. i mean she is the main character, but she has those problem-solving skills and unbeatable enthusiastic spirit (which would definitely take a beating in this godawful game). i considered how different the competition might be given that they're kids? but lenny rush recently competed at 14 and he did awesome. hilda would definitely stand up for herself if she thought her score or the task was unfair but she is a good sport all round. most likely to miss the huge hidden-in-plain-sight clues. here to have fun but not fuck around. all the cheerful demeanor of rob beckett. likes to very gently make fun of alex. would never ever give up.

"what you can't take away from me is that i had an absolutely lovely day."

"people say my ADHD means i have shit problem solving skills. no sir!"

frida - nerdiness to rival josh widdicombe. knows the taskmaster's tricks and snoops all around for clues/hidden solutions. genuine competence and competitiveness of someone like sarah kendall, as indignant and argumentative as ed gamble. the one time she doesn't find the hidden alternative answer is when the main pathway is just 'do a really long maths sum to get the code for the lock' and she just gets on with it because she can. tries not to act overly proud of herself but after a particular stressful win she definitely gets up and cheers. argues with other contestants. gets very annoyed by alex and sometimes tells him to shut up.

"the only way i get out of this with any dignity is if i die right now."

[to a small plush vole] "you've got no chutzpah! your organizational skills are lacklustre, and your timekeeping is abysmal."

david - the awkward swagger of james acaster but absolutely 0 of his winning spirit. definitely a fan-favourite pathetic contestant. the show would wear his psyche down so much he would snap and end up begging for points in a total breakdown à la joe wilkinson. gets genuinely cocky after a rare win. gets very stressed out by alex and is very scared of greg. like mae martin, is initially very nonchalant about the tasks, but can become freaked out quickly. not very good at getting points. ashamed of his failures and overjoyed with his successes. most likely to be given a humiliating solo task.

"please don't take it away from me."

"well well well! looks like last in P.E., first in being a legend!"

johanna - total sweetheart, smiling all the time even when she fucks up and loses, much like charlotte ritchie. although she does fuck up and lose considerably less. less nervous though, here to have fun AND fuck around. a sally phillips approach to tasks, meaning chill as fuck, inconspicuously normal contestant, that consistently produces either the most terribly planned OR the most creatively out of pocket and deranged 'solutions', of which back in the studio she has zero explanation for and can only laugh uncontrollably as if it wasn't entirely her idea. this will inevitably win her a lot of points but she will fall short on something like charlotte ritchie's first prize task, in which she brings in all of her bedding, is told 'you can't just pick up stuff from around your house,' and is given last place. this also makes her place her head in her hands and giggle. her attitude carries charlotte's consistent likeness to a children's tv show host. zaniness and well-spoken ramblings of mike wozniak.

"when you have no other ideas, you stick to your bad idea."

"i was excited, there was fire, i'd been told to undermine a vole and i let him have it."

kaisa - will not embarrass herself for love nor money. could not give a fuck about any of you people and simultaneously is incredibly determined to win. would get increasingly distraught with the incompetence of any teammates in an ed gamble outburst. despite this, is a cooperative and hardworking teammate. would spend long periods of time in silent thought before carrying out her plan with no explanation along the way. like james acaster, does not ever say hello to alex, just because she 'doesn't have to.' generally does not like alex. to quote jamali maddix, 'he's a punk. i don't like him.' acts like a rebellious teen in the presence of greg. i have no solid outfit headcanons right now but she would wear what bridget christie wore:

"i've got three sensitivity levels! and i'll be honest, i'm on my top fucking one right now!"

"i knew we were against the clock, and i didn't give a fuck"

and here is my final test of character - one of the most simple and most telling tasks, from the very first episode:

"eat as much of this watermelon as you can in one minute."

hilda - romesh ranganathan. upon entry of the lab, she wields the watermelon above her head and smashes it into the floor, devouring as much of it as she can. total tunnel vision. she throws up a little at the end. wins the task.

frida - josh widdicombe. enters prepared with a knife, manages to hurriedly cut and eat a portion of the watermelon, with not nearly as much vigor as hilda. is not giving up any dignity for this. 3rd place.

david - frank skinner. was not expecting a whole watermelon. manages to quickly get into the melon but falls short at his eating speed. is clearly trying not to choke. 4th place.

johanna - tim key. no utensils required. cracks it open right there on the table, eating as fast as possible, almost to the same wild and untamed degree as her daughter. is docked points because she sneaks a final bite of watermelon after the minute is up, just because she enjoys it. 2nd place.

kaisa - roisin conarty. was also not expecting a whole watermelon. total lack of urgency in comparison. leaves the room and spends 50 of her 60 seconds retrieving a knife, which she totally could have done beforehand, manages to crack open and eat a total of 9 grams of the watermelon before her time is immediately up. last place. couldnt give a fuck though

thanks for reading guys. if you have anything to add or ask then please do. peace and love

(via Chris Pratt draws ire for razing historic 1950 LA home for sprawling mansion | Chris Pratt | The Guardian)

Chris Pratt has drawn ire from architecture aficionados after news broke that the actor and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, had razed a historic, mid-century modern home to make way for a sprawling 15,000-sq-ft mansion.

Last year, the couple purchased the 1950 Zimmerman house, designed by the architect Craig Ellwood, in Los Angeles’s Brentwood neighborhood for $12.5m. The residence, with landscaping by Garrett Eckbo – who has been described as the pioneer of modern landscaping – had previously been featured in Progressive Architecture magazine.

It was most recently home to the late Hilda Rolfe, the widow of Sam Rolfe, co-creator of the series The Man from Uncle. Video of the property from December 2022 shows a light-filled home that appears to have been well-preserved, with large windows, wood floors and mid-century furniture.

The single-story home and its grounds have since been cleared and in its place will be a massive home in the modern farmhouse style that has come to dominate US suburbs.

With the Abyssal portions defeated, time for the final thoughts on Nexomon Extinction.

The Abyssals are exactly what I wanted out of the Tyrants.

My biggest complaint story-wise for this game was that the Tyrants themselves really didn't matter much. There's a thousand-year war among the Tyrants going on, that pushed humanity so far that one Guild leader created a cult to revive Omnicron, and their successor created artificial dragons to hunt Tyrants, an artificial Tyrant to command them, and then another, bigger one when that plan failed. But despite how significant this war was...all of the Tyrants we meet are pretty inconsequential, and most are associated with a human who does most of the talking and planning to begin with. I understand that this game is the human errors side of thing after the last game's presentation of the threat of Nexomon, but it's still kinda rough to go through all these story segments with the Tyrants not producing anything substantial. You get to postgame where you can hunt them down, and they're all a pain in the ass to find, with nothing drawing me to them.

The Abyssals, though? This is what I wanted. A thousand years ago, the first Abyssal arrived. And their first act? Killing Hilda. Another is stated to have made an attempt on Eliza's life. These are a much more pressing, salient threat. Sure, Tyrants destroyed cities, but we've never seen them do anything. The Abyssals have personal connection.

Despite their power, the Abyssals are odd in that they never aimed to become Sovereign of Monsters, and they seem immune to Solus' influence as the current Queen. What's presented is a pretty interesting mystery that builds up more questions than it feels like it wants to answer. What's the deal with these weird engravings? Why are Abyssals so weird? Apparently each is born with a clear goal from its creator, but this creator is unknown to them, and their specific goals are incredibly simplistic, with no known overarching goal. They're super unusual.

By gameplay, the Precursor Island is really fun. It might be an odd comparison, but it reminds me of the bonus dungeon of Ib a bit. There's a central location, and your goal is running around everywhere to collect the things you need to progress, solving puzzles that sometime intertwine a bit. It's a really fun system, finding each of the Abyssals and solving their puzzles. The only annoying ones were the flying one (Inominox) and the electric one (Volcel). The rest was really fun. Even the weird maze puzzle was fairly clever, though the final solution was a little...obvious but still hard to figure out the hint.

I think what really sells me on the Abyssals...well, two things. The smaller one is design. The Abyssals are just really cool concepts. Venefelis shows up and is immediately incredible, being super imposing but kinda goofy, and stated outright that he shouldn't be strong enough to pull off the nonsense he has. Kroma is my absolute favorite, and she's set up as super imposing given her drive is killing Eliza, only for Venefelis to rant about how incompetent Kroma is for being the only one of them to fail in her mission. Then there's Screaming Fire Velociraptor, who is hilarious in concept. And Inominox, who is such a coward that it won't face anyone with more than one Nexomon, and that one Nexomon needs to be weak to Flying. Or the soup for Volcel. There's Caelesa, who ran across the world, and was attacked by the Guild for little reason other than paranoia, since she hurt no one in her efforts. There's Pluvian, whose entire goal was to show up, scream, and then get killed by the Guild for no clear reason. There's Rotrimus, who you try to order around, and initially agrees, but is intercepted by the force of their creator bending its will back to refusing your call. It's a really interesting and dynamic group, that apparently has no clear association. Many of them insist they worked alone. They had a creator, but they themselves don't even think of themselves as a unified group. Only Venefelis seems to confirm that they have association.

The other is that this group is delightfully aligned to the themes of the game. Nexomon Extinction has two general themes I can identify. The first is a bit more obvious and repeatedly stated: second chances. The children of Omnicron refer to their support as their redemption, the entire plot is Deena attempting to grant a second chance at saving the world, your resolution of the central conflict is trading the destruction of your direct enemy into granting them a second chance at life. There's an ongoing importance to the idea of getting a second shot at things...but a second shot isn't necessarily going to mean doing better. The former hero comments that your actions amount to the same thing she did, and despite the failures of the dragons, Amelie's second chance is doubling down on a decision that worked out poorly. This leads into the second theme, and the one I like a lot better: the limits of personal agency.

The former hero is a good lens for this one. Repeatedly throughout this game, their actions are referred to as if it was a huge mistake. They themselves talk about it as a mistake. Deena outright calls it stupid decision made by her moronic friends. Even Ulzar, who is more sympathetic to the situation, talks about it as if it were a mistake, if an understandable one. Absolutely everyone treats their actions as something that led to the present problem, and thus was the wrong decision.

But...we were there. Omnicron was going to completely destroy the world. You can argue that the destruction of his soul in the netherworld wasn't necessary, and that was the mistake. But it's well known that he'll come back time and again; it'd be pushing the problem out to the next generation. And Omnicron could follow through. When you fail to destroy him in the Netherworld, Omnicron devastates an area so badly that entire maps are wiped out of reality. This was done in hours. Omnicron tells you outright he could've annihilated the planet in a day, but he stopped solely to challenge his rival, the strongest human, as a matter of pride. This wasn't an idle threat. It was an active, immediate devastation looming on the horizon.

Faced with that, what choice did you really have? Yes, there was a technically a choice. But who could choose the alternative? When humanity is faced with its destruction through the war of the Tyrants, yes, you had a choice to make those dragons or not. But faced with the destruction of multiple cities and further looming threat, what choice did you have? When those failed, you had the choice to stop. But then the destruction of the Tyrants continue unabated. Who would choose to stop? Vados embodies this. He's a creation of Amelie, born to hunt Tyrants to protect humanity. The thing about Vados is that he has agency and beliefs of his own. When told to destroy Petram in spite of the Laterians interfering, he refuses to harm humans. But we know that will happen anyway. We're told repeatedly that the Tyrants will continue to rise, until Vados has destroyed so much that the world is inhospitable to humans as well. He has his own agency, his own desire to protect humanity and protect the world. But he'll betray that through his own actions, regardless of what he wants. He was made to hunt Tyrants, and so he shall, til the end of days. The only way to avert this is to refuse to fight every Tyrant, to refuse to wage this absolute crusade. And that's the only choice he cannot make. He doesn't get a choice.

The Abyssals continue this theme. Like Vados, the Abyssals are created for a singular purpose. They are born with a goal, and that is all they have. They have their own personalities, but few of them seem interested in the specifics of what's going on. Kroma doesn't seem particularly interested in killing Eliza, she just has to. Pluvian doesn't seem to function as a willing sacrifice, but she does it anyway because that's her goal. Regardless of what they want, they will carry out their goal.

Unlike Vados, though, they have no overarching philosophy. Nothing that specifically guides their actions beyond the immediate. Caelesa runs around the world, but she doesn't seem to understand why. So when their goal is accomplished, despite getting a second chance at life...none of them know what to do with it. So they just sit around, completely docile, until you strike them down again. What other choice did they have? They never knew what they were aiming to do in the first place.

Except for Venefelis. The first Abyssal. At first, he had no idea what his point was. He had a goal, carried it out, and got sealed within the woods forever. Not ideal, but mission accomplished. Then 300 years later, another entity like him appears, carrying out a similarly short-sighted goal. Then 200 years later, another. And another 100 years after that. They appear faster and faster, until we get two within ten years. And as the only one to really survive, even if just as a spirit...you recognize the pattern. After all, Venefelis understands Caelesa's goal better than she understands it herself. She thinks it was just running, but Venefelis identifies it as a scouting mission. You know there's a grander design here; a purpose. But you can't figure out what. Because no one will tell you. You creator, the one guiding your motions, won't speak to you.

What else can you do but try to divine their intent? With nothing else to go off of, you watch their actions, and notice only one thing stands out. Kroma failed, and following that, no other Abyssals were created. Maybe your creator quit. Maybe it's because of Kroma. You don't know that, but what else could it be? You don't understand your purpose, but you desperately want to understand it; to know why you're still here. What choice do you have but to force a second chance on her? To enforce your creator's will, regardless of what she'd want? What choice does she have but to obey?

The twisted thing is, there really is nothing else for them. Rotramus shows this definitively. When you attempt to issue a command, he thinks about it, and passively decides sure, I'll help. It's not the resounding success of an authority check commanding its allegiance. It's someone making a choice, as if it has nothing better to do and no reason to argue. But its creator's will forces it to refuse. Even with its goal accomplished, and no reason to refuse, they interfere, denying your freedom. Quite literally, you have no other choice.

Everything that happens in this arc is driven by Venefelis' desires. His agency, his desire to understand his creator, drives everything forward. No one else even understands why they're here. They didn't have much choice either way. He brought them back, gave them a second chance they had no use for. But what else could he have done? To see what he wanted done, all he could do was solve Kroma's failure by pushing her into another attempt. And it wouldn't have even worked. It was entirely for nothing. But what can you do but try? You technically have a choice. You finished your goal, you could just let it all rest. But faced with the dread of an eternity devoid of purpose, who would choose any different?

Despite how many open-ended threads there are, and how many mysteries we're left with, this does feel like a self-contained story. We don't know what the point is. We don't know what it means. But neither did they. And the result of that ignorance, that impossibility, is they existed unable to live for themselves, and no second chance could get them to defy that fate. Which really resonates with me. I loved this side story a lot, and these open questions have really gotten me interested in the sequel game. I've heard they officially announced its existence but not a release date or any details. I can be patient. But I'm really invested in this one. They really hit a sweet spot here.

Sketchbook Ship Week 2023 - Introduction

Hello there, Hilda fandom!

As some of you might know (or not, depending on how deep in this you are. We are very), on the 22nd of October we will be arriving at the Sketchbook (Johanna/Kaisa) ship’s fifth birthday. That’s right, folks. Five years ago the infamous ask that kickstarted all of this was sent.

To celebrate this occasion, we will be organizing the first Sketchbook Week! It will be hosted between the days 19 and 25 of November. Let us explain -

(By the way, the “we”s in these posts refer to @waddles-ex-machina and @the-hilda-librarians-wife. Just thought you should know who to blame.)

✏️ What is a ‘Sketchbook Week’?

In case this is your first interaction with this type of fandom event, let’s start with the basics! This week will be an opportunity for fans to produce content for this ship, inspired by the prompts that will be released. There will be prompts for each day, and the resulting pieces are posted on tumblr for shippers to enjoy, and reblogged onto this blog - which will be tracking the #sketchbookweek tag

📖 What kind of content can be submitted?

Anything made by you! Visual art, fanfiction, edits, poetry/songwriting… heck, try out sculpting, if you’d like! It just has to be sketchbook and at least vaguely inspired by the prompts.

✏️Do I need to participate every day?

Not at all! This isn’t an event that requires any sort of commitment, it’s all for fun! You can go and post on the days you are able to or the ones with the prompts you like the most, and that’s a-okay.

📖 Can I only post on tumblr?

Well, the event is being hosted on tumblr, so we advise you to post it here so we can all see and share it. However, you can absolutely post on any other websites at the same time.

✏️ When will we know the prompts?

If all goes according to plan, the full planning for the week with all the prompts will be released on the 22nd of October, on time for our ship’s anniversary :)

📖 Who decides the prompts?

Well, you do! Soon we will open submissions so you can all send us the prompts you’d like to see. On a later date, we will all vote on them, but that’s for another post!

✏️ I like this idea, but I don’t want to/won’t be able to post. Can I still participate somehow?

Absolutely! All are welcome to enjoy what will be created for this week. Remember that interacting with artists is what keeps fandoms alive, and do your best to show your appreciation for the content creators taking part in it

📖 I’ve got another question that isn’t covered here. What do I do?

No problem! Our ask box is already open for comments or questions. Shoot, and we’ll get to you as soon as possible!

That’s pretty much it for now! Feel free to follow this blog for updates and mark your calendars for the 19th - 25th November! 🔮✏️

Meet our newest set of skeletons! The drakeswap sisters!

Hilda (drakeswap sans):

She’s the older sister at 56 years old. Hilda stands at 5’6 feet tall and is a feminine skeleton monster with a chirpy sweet voice and sky blue eyes. She has a strong muscular ecto, tall curved horns horns and large clawed wings

Hilda is a confident and assertive monster. She’s a natural born leader and her cheerful demeanor makes others flock to her. She’s charismatic and popular. Her cheer and kindness can commonly be mistaken as innocence, but that’s not the case. Hilda is very good at reading people and isn’t so easily caught of guard by flattering or tricks.

Hilda is an artist at heart. She is an architect who loves drawing up beautiful building designs as well as public parks and gardens. She is the creator of the national library’s building and has done a couple of the school buildings on ebott cities college campus.

As a draconic monster, Hilda has the ability to lay down runes. She’s very skilled at it but prefers to use the drakefells guilds runes for her commissioned buildings. She uses her own for personal projects

Her special ability is ten second strength. For roughly ten seconds, she can give herself the strength of a golem monster. However it has a cooldown of nearly three hours so she has to use it wisely

Her magic weapon is a large spiked mace that doubles as a construction hammer. She normally uses it for that

Hobbies: architectural design, wrestling, watching wrestling matches, weightlifting, body building, horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, loud unruly rock concerts

Favorite items: the color blood red, punk rock, dandelions, sports face paint, horses, craft beers, hot dogs, fancy drafting paper, goofy wrestling masks

Saga (drakeswap papyrus)

Saga is the younger sister at 40 years old and is a fairly tall skeleton monster standing at 6’6. She’s a feminine monster with a gentle soft voice and an elegant slender frame. She has apricot orange magic, small nub horns and smooth wings

Saga is an elegant and refined lady. She’s kind, but a bit strict when it comes to following the rules to her sisters annoyance lol. She’s a very warm and inviting person and quite chatty if you ask her about any of her many many interests. She gives off a real motherly air which is funny since she’s real awkward with children

Saga is the main librarian of ebotts temple grounds and history center. She handles filing and the maintenance of all the old documents as well as who’s allowed access to them. She’s also a bit of a manager too, handling staff schedules as well as hiring.

As a draconic monster, saga has the ability to lay down runes. She’s not terribly strong despite having hundreds of designs memorized, so she has to rely on other Drake monsters.

Her special ability is night vision. Her eyes glow blue when she uses it

Her magic weapon is a simple staff that she honestly uses more as a custom walking stick. She’s not an athlete lol

Hobbies: book binding, ballroom dancing, watching wrestling matches, horse care and horseback riding, history, earth science, astronomy, research, collecting old legal documents

Loved items: the color white, day lilies, classical music, beautiful evening dresses, gloves, cheese and crackers, her retired draft horse paisley.

And side characters:

Idun: drakeswap toriel and the grandmother of Hilda and saga. Idun is an intelligent and brave monster loved by her subjects. She works closely with the medical field in researching cures for soul and genetic diseases. She’s also the only royal who’s a survivor of dimming

Eir: a slender skeleton monster, mother of kvasir and the soulmate of Idun. Eir is drakeswaps royal scientist and the head of the dimming research team

Tyr: drakeswap Asgore. He’s only recently taken up the mantle of a royal in order to split his sisters workload. He does more of her basic duties like the paperwork and press conferences.

Kvasir: drakeswap gaster, saga and Hilda’s father, and the retired head librarian, now happy children’s story time grandpa. He’s getting in years and wants to spend his retirement days relaxing and sometimes showing up on weekends to read stories to the kids who go on field trips to the temple grounds. He’s a gentle and elegant fellow who adores his daughters.

Jenn: a soft grey coated goat monster, kvasir’s soulmate and the sisters mother. Jenn owns a rather fancy wedding catering business and is a classy monster, but she is easily fed up all the stuffy rules of the royals. She’s glad her soulmates and kids aren’t required to be part of it.

How I designed a new cover for my webcomic's Book 1 reprint

The cover. It's the first impression anyone has of your comic book, so it's got to make an impact. Which is why I'm really proud of the new cover of Heroes of Thantopolis Book 1.

Who are these characters? What kinds of fun and colorful adventures do they get up to? That's what I hope people think when they see the book when it debuts at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus.

But the journey to get to this cover was full of trial and error. Today I want to share that journey and what I learned along the way. Let's go!

The original print cover of Book 1

I self-published the original print of HoT Book 1 in 2016. This was before I joined @hiveworks, and I was using an on-demand printer not really known for their comics, so everything - including the InDesign template I placed the pages in - was done from scratch.

Here's what the cover for the original print looked like:

Helene and Cyrus are front and center amidst tapestries depicting the four chapters of the comic. It's not a bad illustration - not in the slightest! And the comic sold very well at TCAF 2017. But I think you can tell it's an amateur effort. I may have completed four chapters of my comic, but I didn't have comparable experience designing books.

Brainstorming for the reprint

I joined Hiveworks in 2018. Hiveworks has a lot of experience independently publishing webcomics. I planned to re-print Book 1 as well as print the first editions of the rest of the comic under their banner.

I had a good idea of the bonus content I wanted to include in the reprint. I had less of an idea of what I wanted the cover to look like. My first sketches were very movie poster-esque:

All of the main characters are here, with the villain ominously looming over everyone. It felt like an upgrade from the original cover. But... it felt generic, too. It didn't capture what was unique about my comic.

I put preparations for the reprint to the side for a while, until...

Inspiration

youtube

I love the opening of the Netflix cartoon Hilda. I love the music, the fluid animation and the super cool transitions between her adventures. Hilda goes from riding a dragon to dodging viking warriors, running through the locations and characters she meets during the season. It really captures the vibe of the show!

That's when it occurred to me what was missing from my cover. Readers of Heroes of Thantopolis will know that every chapter has a different color palette, giving them each a unique feel. A unified illustration wouldn't show the diversity of color or feelings. But a cover made of flowing segments, like the Hilda opening...

Now I felt like I was really getting somewhere!

The final cover

Working with my editor Isa (@secondlina), I continued to refine the design of the comic. I wasn't sure what to put in the top left. Isa suggested creating a special version of the logo that flowed along the border created by the Sag segment.

(Isa's sketch in green, on the right)

From there, the final cover began to take shape.

Until we got to the final cover that appears on the actual book!

(Print colors are never as vibrant at RGB, but it still captures that colorful vibe.)

Conclusion

If there's one lesson in my creative life that I've seen play out over and over again, it's that your first idea may not be the best idea. Iteration and reflection improves the end result. I'm not saying you need to waffle over every decision. But rather, tp let your creative juices marinade your idea, rather than immediately put the concept to the fire.

I also couldn't have done this without help from people more knowledgeable than I on book design. Not every webcomic creator has access to print experts, true, but there are communities of webcomic creators out there that pool resources and share advice. We can always learn from other people. And that's why I made this post! I hope you enjoyed a peek into my creative process.

I look forward to seeing you at CXC on September 30th and October 1st! If you can't make it to the show, you can read all of Heroes of Thantopolis online, FOR FREE, anytime you want. Book 1 will be sold online soon!

Everyone Hate Warner Bros. Discovery

Oh my god, this company sucks. You know what this company has done?! Well, hear what i'm gonna tell you why the WarnerMedia And Discovery Merger Was One Of The Worst Mergers In The Media Industry Of The United States.

1. They removed and cancelled shows From HBO Max, like Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Close Enough, Elliott From Earth, The Fungies! Infinity Train, Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart, Mighty Magiswords, OK K-O, Let's Be Heroes, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Summer Camp Island, Tig n' Seek, Victor and Valentino, And Several Others. Like The What The Fuck! It Seems That Someone Doesn't Gives A Shit About Any Animation At All, Warner Bros Discovery Is Being So Not Fair To All Of Us! And all they care about is the stupid live action and reality shit. So Yeah, I Guess We Need A Marathon On Either Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Adult Swim, Or Discovery Family.

2. They cancelled Scoob! Holiday Haunt, Batgirl, And Other Movies That Warner Bros Is Planning To Make. What The Fuck! I Just Waited For Those Movies To Come, But This Pile Of Shit Has Came And Ruined It. Despite the fact that they have cancelled Batgirl Just Because They Don't want to get criticized.

3: The Creators That Are Making Shows For Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Adult Swim, HBO, And Several Others Have Been Fired Because Of That Shitty company that i'm talking about.

4: They replaced Boomerang with Cartoonito in Europe.

5: they are also merged HBO Max and Discovery Plus into Max, And removed some shows. Which Was Stupid.

6: They Have Shutted Down CNN Plus.

7: In 2024 it's been announced that NBC Universal will be merging with it. Are You Kidding Me?! That would be a questionable decision, As my big concern was that it would seriously damage the mass media industry in the United States. Why can't they separate both of the media companies. And Do you know what's worse?

THEY'VE SHUTTED DOWN CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS HEADQUARTERS IN BURBANK CALIFORNIA IN AUGUST 1ST. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! GOD MOTHERFUCKING DAMMIT!!! this is complete bullshit 100%, thanks to that pile of shit! Cartoon Network Studios Has Moved To Warner Bros Animation Headquarters. But Good Thing That Cartoon Network Studios Is Alive. and yes, Discovery is completely killing Warner Bros, Cartoon Network, And DC Comics. It's Like A Living Shit With Their Actions. Whoever made this chaos should get fired some day. I Really Hope That Warner Bros Discovery Get Shutted Down For Good, And I Really Hope That WarnerMedia And Discovery Break Up Very Soon.

It's time for my 2000th post celebration!

It has been a lot of fun getting to this point! Thanks to those who have stuck around over the years and to newer followers as well.

Rather than making this purely focused on One Piece, I thought it may be fun to look back at the beginning of this blog, and give a bit of spotlight to the transitions it has been though up to this point.

I began this blog back in April of 2020, mainly out of an interest in keeping up with artists who were creating AU fan comics of Steven Universe, a show I began while it was in the middle of airing its fourth season, and caught up to soon after. Three fan comics I especially enjoyed reading were a White Diamond Steven AU by Chekhov, a comic where Steven has a sister(Twiniverse,) and a special shoutout to makingfriendos/court and snidy for being a great source of joy and whimsy with their SU art back then, being the creators of one of the first fan comics I really delved into.

The comic they worked on, Steven Universe B-Sides, focused on the trio of Lapis, Peridot, and Bismuth being Steven's guardians and is a joy to read. Captured the essence and humor of season one very well.

In fact, one of their drawings is the origin of the original name of this blog "showergelfan." Sourcing to a lovely doodle they drew of Peridot not understanding human cuisine and thinking that a shower gel recipe was acceptable for human consumption.

Moving forward a bit to September of 2020, Steven Universe had finished airing a few months ago and I shifted into mainly focusing on Amphibia and Owl House around the time, both shows having very active fan bases during their runs(shoutout to the-lone-witch-and-secret-room for being a cool and friendly presence within the Owl House fandom during the show's air.) Amphibia especially resonated with me for its humor, characters, and fun to explore world. Frogs being one of my favorite animals gave it a boost too.

A few other cartoons found their way into the mix as well, namely Hilda and Infinity Train. Both also good shows which I still recommend. I didn't explore fan works for these shows as much I did with Steven Universe, though enjoyed them all none the less.

Then finally, around August/September of 2021, I began the most recent and current focus towards One Piece from then on, with the name switch to fallensnowfan and greater attention to Kiku and friends happening in July of 2022. Being in part due to discovering the blog of cool friend basedkikuenjoyer around that time. Hi!

Going to conclude this celebration post with a small section dedicated to the much anticipated episode 1084, directed by Kenichi Takeshita, and the episodes he has worked on previously:

935 - Komurasaki's true identity is… 949 - Udon Prison liberated 965 - Whitebeard versus Roger 980 - Jinbei arrives 998 - Shinobu and Sanji rescue Momonosuke 1018 - Zoro scars Kaido with Enma 1039 - Tama flips the Beast Pirates to our side, and Who's Who backstory 1067 - Big Mom's fall

Tomorrow's episode, 1084 will be about an "untold story from before the Straw Hats' departure," and I am very excited to watch!

Possession Chats (Part 1)

Disclaimer: I have not been to group therapy before, so this is based off of limited internet research. If there is anything that I need to change or is incorrect, don't hesitate to tell me. It was really just a concept for my AU that I thought would be fun because I realized that nearly half of the characters have been possessed before.

Jazz: Hello everyone, sorry to pull you out of your classes, I’m Jazz Fenton. I’m here to guide your support group session today.

Hunter: What am I doing here with a bunch of… All of you?

Jazz: This is a safe space for anyone that has had experience with forms of possession.

Danny: Wait when did I-

Jazz: Freakshow?

Danny: Right, right.

Dipper: Um, I don’t really want to-

Marcy: HI! Sorry I’m late! Oh, did I interrupt something?

Jazz: It’s alright. I’m Jazz and this is the support group for students who have experienced possession.

Marcy: Oh. Actually, uhh, I’m extremely busy right now so I’ll just leave the way I came in…

Jazz: Marcy, is it? Everyone here is thinking the same things you are, I’m sure. We’re going to ease in to talking about those things and start with getting to know each other.

Hunter: If I go first, can I leave?

Jazz: No, but thanks for volunteering! Today we’re just going to share our name, a bit about our family, and one fun fact about ourselves. I’ll go first, then Hunter, and we’ll go around the circle from there.

Hunter: Yay. Sounds great.

Jazz: Glad to hear it! Well, my name is Jazz Fenton, I have a mom and a dad that hunt ghosts and a brother who is half ghost. And fun fact, I like to exercise! Hunter?

Hunter: My name is Hunter. I have an adoptive dad and a found sister and mother, and I was resurrected from the bones of my creator’s dead brother. That work?

Jazz: Wow. Thank you for sharing, Hunter. Now, Dipper?

Dipper: Right. I’m Dipper. Well, Mason, but everyone calls me Dipper. I have a twin sister, a mom and a dad, and two great-uncles, and I made a pig learn how to talk once?

Jazz: Interesting! Thank you, Dipper. Next we have… right, Marcy!

Marcy: Hey everyone, I’m Marcy Wu. I have a mom and a dad. And… do I have to just pick one thing?

Jazz: Not necessarily but just to-

Marcy: Okay okay fine. Ooh! I rode on the back of a bird while toppling a corrupt empire!

Jazz: And I thought my brother was a handful! Well, Danny, take it away.

Danny: I got you. Right, my name’s Danny Phantom, or Fenton, whichever you prefer really. I have a mom, dad, and older sister. Both of my parents hunt ghosts and my sister protects me from them sometimes.

Jazz: Aww.

Danny: Protects me from my parents, if you didn’t get that.

Jazz: Yeah, I know. Finally, we have… what’s your name?

Hilda: Hilda.

Jazz: Yes, Hilda! Sorry. Want to share a bit about yourself?

Hilda: Sure. My name is Hilda, I live with my mum, and one of my best friends is a human witch.

Jazz: Ooh, nice! Thank you all for sharing. From now on, no one has to talk if they don’t want to, but we will all respect whoever is talking.

Hunter: Yup, all great and good, can I go now?

Jazz: What’s the big rush? We still have another fifteen minutes together.

Hunter: The flyer derby team practice is in five minutes and I need time to change before.

Jazz: Alright, you can leave.

*Hunter pumps his fist and starts walking towards the door*

Jazz: After!

*Hunter turns around*

Jazz: You give us your best… hmm… Wolf impression!

Hunter: What? Are you serious? I don’t even know what those are!

Jazz: You do. Don’t worry, this is a judgement free space. Your best wolf howl, go!

Hunter: Ugh, fine. Ah-woo. Happy?

Jazz: We’ll work on it. Have fun at practice!

*Hunter mumbles as he walks out and shuts the door behind him*

Hilda: So you said this was for people who have “experience with possession”, is there anyone here that has possessed someone else or..?

Danny: I have!

Jazz: Danny! Everyone is here because it has happened to them, not because they did it to someone else. Unless we need to, we’re not going to mention if we can possess others or not.

Danny: Oh, my bad. I was possessed once, I robbed a bank and held my family and friends hostage on a train, if that counts.

Jazz: It does, and thank you for sharing, Danny. Since you’re taking, do you have any ways you deal with any trauma you have left from that experience?

Danny: No? Honestly, I kinda saved the world and called it even.

Jazz: Ahh, hiding behind jokes and sarcasm. Anyone else?

Dipper: Uh, I avoid triangles, large eyes, and American dollar bills at all costs?

Jazz: And how well does that work for you?

Dipper: It doesn’t, really.

Marcy: I’m fine as long as I don’t think about my childhood best friends. Ever.

Jazz: Ouch, see? We’re here to learn from each other and find healthy ways of coping so we can-

*End of class bell screams, making half of them jump*

Jazz: Alright, I’ll see you all here next week!

I'm thrilled to reveal the quote that will adorn the back cover of Isle of Elsi Book Two by Hilda creator @luke-pearson

"In a world full of fantastical worlds for children, there is nothing exactly like Isle of Elsi. It’s on one hand a world of friendly faces and bright colours, making it an immediately welcoming comic for young readers to explore on their own. On the other hand, the wordplay, attention to detail and refusal to oversimplify make it an ideal world for kids and adults to explore together. Presenting everything in crystal clear cartooning with a satisfying indie comic charm, Alec Longstreth has crafted a timeless children’s saga; a world of sincerity and community as well as dragons and adventure. And it’s a world I believe readers will want to revisit time and time again." -Luke Pearson, Hilda and the Mountain King

The kickstarter campaign is running until July 7, so there is still time to back it and tell your friends!

It means a lot to me to receive this thoughtful quote from one of my favorite cartoonists! I've been an avid reader of the Hilda series from the beginning, and it has been such a joy sharing these comics I love with my kids. If you have not read the Hilda comics yet, adventure awaits!

Will there be more Giant Hilda content? Hello there.

Well hello there!

As for that drawing of a Hilda in gigantic form, that is not my AU, so unless the creator ask (or commissions me) for a giant Hilda, the only giant Hilda you will see from me, is Hilda in the form of a ice giant or forest giant XDXD

[CREATOR CLASH] High Power

"SISTERRRRRRR!"

Lauren reached out to the screen, tears strolling down her face. It took the force of Rayquaza AND Zinnia to hold her back.

"HEIDI! NOOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS! PLEASEEEE! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Lauren broke her disguise and started crying. Zinnia and Rayquaza started consoling her.

---

"This... this isn't the end... right...?"

Even Hilda was starting to quake in her shoes.

"We--we're... we're not doomed, right? She's... she's fine, right? Please tell me that she's fine!"

Lillie was ready to break down crying already.

---

Others weren't as credulous at the results.

"Do you sense it, Melmel? Something isn't quite adding up."

"I agree." Melony shook her head. "There is still but one thing that she is leaving behind."

"Do you think that she is able to use it?"

"She is... After all, I still sense her life force. There is still time."

---

Hel looked at the Arceus in the room. "...Shouldn't you be requesting for her soul right about now, Lacey?"

"Oh, who said that she's dead?" The Arceus giggled.

"...That blade says so."

The Arceus shook her head. "Oh, you'll see. She's not down just yet."

"Hm. She is best not to be." Hel turned back to the screen.

---

....

Friede looked down at the figure. The greatsword was still directly in the middle of the creature. While there was no blood, it should have been enough to drive right into her and kill her.

...but if that was enough to end her, why has she not lost her disguise?

...

... unless--

....

Hehe.

hehehe

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Heidi slowly started to change, with her power skyrocketing as well. The dragon grabbed onto the greatsword and slowly began rise, driving the sword deeper and deeper through her sternum.

Once she was close enough to meet her attacker face-to-face, she had nothing but a snarky grin.

"You've lost, Friede."

Friede yanked herself away and brought the greatsword with her. The hole in Heidi's chest suddenly disappeared, as if it never happened to begin with.

"...So this is how you interpret yourself as an Arceus, Heidi."

"Arceus? Us? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Heidi used Neutralizing Tera Blast!

The attack caused a large explosion on Friede, causing her, even at her immense strength, to flinch for a moment.

"We are not Arceus. We may have the abilities to defeat your kind... we may be able to perform your duties better than you.... We may work to protect this world from vermin such as yourself... but we are not like you. No matter what happens to us, we are, and will always be, Latias."

"....Then, if that is the case, I will ensure that you perish with that thought."

Friede used Judgment! Heidi used Neutralizing Light that Burns the Sky!
