“If books don’t have romance in them, it’s like …” she shakes her head. “I usually make it up. I’m like OK, then they fall in love after this, and they’re all happy, and they all have a thousand chrildren”
sarah loves a happy ending she has said this again and again!
do you really believe she will leave lucien and gwyn without one?

I'm slipping back into Sky: Chrildren of the Light after this season.
That finale.
Goddamn.
In the meantime, I took some wallpaper shots for the fandom because I'm a trainwreck at organising my fixations <3
Yes, I'm aware that most are from wasteland, I thought I could face my fears by doing this and I was wrong.

I work with families and chrildren and sometimes we only spend time with the kids. Yesterday I took a girl to a café and we ate some ice cream.
It was hard to show her how much fun I had while I was dying inside not knowing how many cals I ate.

Sonic the Comic Liveblog: Issue 41
An extra-long issue this time! Although, depending on the content, that doesn’t necessarily mean this will end up being a longer liveblog. Guess we’ll have to see!
I like how Amy’s shoe laces are drawn here as ribbons. It’s a cute little detail that I think suits her
Time for the worldbuilding question that plagues many chrildren’s media: why does this non-Earth and/or non-human world celebrate a holiday associated with Christianity?
On a related note, this is why I’ve always thought it was clever of MLP:FiM to take human holidays but give them names and backstories unique to the world of Equestria. It sidestepped the above issue while still allowing the show to do holiday episodes.
Yeah Sonic, that’s like walking into your mate’s house and making a comment on the fact they’re sitting in the living room; of course they are!
Returning to Christmas worldbuilding questions: does Knuckles know what Christmas is? It’s been established that StC Knuckles does not know what carnivals are, so chances are he’s a version of Knuckles that doesn’t get off the island much, if ever. Unless StC Knuckles grew up with a parental figure who celebrated Christmas or taught him about it, he might not have a clue what Sonic is trying to joke about here.
That concludes today’s session of me overanalysing a one-line joke.
🎶Don’t approve of him but gottttaaaaa truusstt himmmm🎶
(Also, is that bump at the base of Knuckles’ tail in panel four the artist’s interpretation of his zig-zag tail???)
Oh look, a comic with StC’s mascot! I suppose they can afford to do little one-off things like this when they have more pages to work with this issue.
I’d make a joke about showing this panel without context but tbh I don’t think context helps.
Well, back to the Knuckles story in Carnival Night Zone, and look at this for a ghost train! Blackpool Pleasure Beach, eat your heart out.
In Fleetway, even Knuckles is British
Jesus that’s a savage comeback
Jeez, what’s with the colouring on this panel? It’s like they wanted to do a silhouette shot but forgot half way and just did the rest as normal.
Imagine this turns him into an amusement park junkie but every ride he tries after this just disappoints him.
Time for a solo Amy story! :D And she’s got a new outfit!
But Amy, you’re also a hedgehog?????
Sonic says at the start of this comic that going up against badniks is too dangerous for her, yet she has a crossbow with arrows that can pierce metal with ease. I’d say she’s better prepared than any of them.
Yeah girl, kick ass! Impressed she made the bolts herself, wonder how she did that?
Ah. Well, in a story where ammo isn’t treated as magically infinite, I suppose that is a rather big drawback.
It didn’t go on as long as Paul hoped, but it was longer than his mum predicted anyway.
