2023 Creator Reflection
ffxiv.
1. dance me to the end of love
this one was fun! i always like merging a character's outfit with the bg so i liked doing that again. picking the colors for elliots outfit was also enjoyable. ive wanted to make smth w that cover for a while
2. shame was still the tyrant of his life
i only wrote two nol and eli things this year and neither of them are finished. the first was a continuation of a scene where nol kisses elliot against the blue stained glass in his room--i once posted it but then i deleted it bc it made me feel woozy for its allusions to sex. i wanted to rebuild it and take a shot at it now that im comfortable writing n reading sex, but i never got very far. theres actually lots of nice parts! i just like nols dumb angsting the best!
3. valentine
i really wanted to focus on nol's eye here, but also not make it too obvious lol. i used a ps filter like a schmuck but i wanted it to be darker without making it even more difficult to see, so i took away their bodies and limited the colors to make it what it is.
4. amateur cracksmen
the second nol n eli wip, which doesnt have many interesting lines rn, was a raffles-inspired story where eli drags nol as his valet to a rival artist's house and tries to steal back the brooch that he bought from an underground dealer feat. much babbling abt the state of societal responsibility that war is supposed to bring
ffxvi.
1. herz an herz dir
i wrote some reflections about this one already here. i honestly was very (distressed voice) cant believe im writing pure fanfic for the first time in over ten years and lacked a lot of direction when i started bc uhhhhh terence has 8 and a half mins of screen time. i tried to convince myself that it's not much different than me stealing brucemont for my own evil devices, but the unique perspective of seeing quite so much fan content def influenced my interpretation. i wanted their relationship to be much more imbalanced from the get-go initially--dion using his power unintentionally and terence barely passing a thought abt it until later bc he's just so accustomed to obeying--but i ended up giving terence a lot more sway & ammunition in their argument. the breakfast bed thing is also smth im rly fond of.
2. mund an mund
there's also additional meta for this one here. i made a silly doodle abt it also. dion kept picking fights here! it honestly turned out how i expected. when i first started this fic, i was gonna have dion start out right in oriflamme and meet ter and kihel there, but i booted them to northreach so i could have this stretch of conflict. i think it's like. Bad Pacing. technically. if i still believe the conflict introduced in the next chapter is the core one, that is. which i sorrrrta do. but i dont care bc i rly like the visual of kihel laying in dion's lap and getting to put a gun on the wall w ahmed.
3. eines atems
its been two months since the last chapter and this chapter is humiliatingly not written. i have all my scrambled notes and scenes that i jotted down in between the first two chapters, so i have a full direction, but it's been really difficult to write lately. ive been devoting all my time to trying to recoup my mental health and work on my teredio secret santa. ill start next year with this wip as a priority, so for now i only have the photoshop edit for it. kihel is holding terence's hand--it's his pov turn.
Tumblr media
overall i didnt like this year very much. i didn't read, create, research or do a lot even though i tried to. i became really disconnected from all of my friends bc im too tired to stay for rp or hold online conversations. at this point, i dont play ffxiv at all except the few times i managed to rp a little. i moved into nanny's house and have my own space, but don't have the presence of mind to do anything about my pc, books, and so on, although i did make a lot of progress rewrapping my books w fresh wraps and some other things. my plans for next year are to reach out to a couple of my friends, build my pc, relearn + rebuild + relaunch my queer lit blog on open source code, survive school, and rediscover the productivity ive lost the past few years.
teredio has helped me a LOT to find community, inspiration, and art in my loneliest year yet. im very proud of my fic and grateful every day to the ppl who have reached out to me about liking it. even if im sorry about my productivity rate in comparison to how many extraordinary writers there are in the ship's fandom, i know i have to be easy on myself to relearn how to write, create a writing schedule that works for me, and stop punishing myself when i cant get the words out.

ok still no sub i can find but thts ok i can b patient but i looked up th new theme jus bc. writing this as i go along so thoughts at th start might conflict ones later
Tumblr media
new kid zoe like tht last post said- im not a huge fan of her but we havent even met her yet so asjfhskjdfhk,, also ngl part of me not liking her is bc she looks like me in 7th grade :o//
Tumblr media
pigella rose nd tigress juleka confirmed 
Tumblr media
confirming sabrina ivan nathaniel and marc are all gonna be more important giving more evidence towards them getting miraculouses but theres not rly any hints abt which ones unless u count bg colors (yellow- bee nd dog/rooster, blue-ox, orange/yellow- also dog/rooster idk, white- goat)
Tumblr media
looks like hawkmoths using both the moth nd peacock miraculous hopefully tht doesnt have lasting effects like fu said it wld 🤔🤔🤔
Tumblr media
kinda hard 2 see bc th focus is on ladybugs new suit n th box but in th bg there are silhouettes of th characters where we see th new miraculouses + nathalie is still there so im guessing after she recovers shell either be back in the costume or shes gonna try to but hawk moth will get power hungry n thts gonna be a thing. ORR shes jus there bc they didnt want 2 hawk moths.
Tumblr media
this is zoe but there arent any differences from th silhouette from chloe.
Tumblr media
the only main/supporting character w this body type is ivan, but i dont think anyone was doubting tht he was gonna b the ox/minotaurox
Tumblr media
rose/pigella and mylene/multimouse, mylenes costume looks like a onezie which is cute but shes also skinnier so :o(
Tumblr media
tigress, not much else 2 say. her hairs in a ponytail n her jewelry turned in2 actual claws it looks like.
Tumblr media
this is sabrina, and i looked and her color closest matches dog so ig that confirms it. rooster is almost entirely hidden behind ladybug but now we know its def nath
Tumblr media
heres the best pic i got of caprikid. he looks ridiculous. sry marc but all ur powered up designs legally have 2 look stupid ig /lh asjhfkjahf
uhh thats it :o) there are some theories on th wiki abt powers n stuff (personally i like th ones abt julekas power being 2 turn invisible/”stalk” nd sabrinas being tracking

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My first attempt at a premium theme: Spring theme! The price is 2 euro or any donation you'd like to make! Send me an ask/im for it, even just a ‘hey I’d like your spring theme’ and I’ll link you my ko-fi or paypal. 
previews in the source. If you buy like or reblog, if you don’t buy and you’d like to help me get some visibility, you can reblog anyway (and just like the post if you like it, or donate regardless to give a hand) <3
What do you get with this 'spring' theme, which is probably the first of a season collection, besides of course the exact look you see in the preview 1? (you can check the previews to see most of what I'm talking about)
This theme is first of all responsive: you will be able to see everything, from posts to links to sidebar, in every device no matter how small, down to 320w x 340h tiny mobile screens. [On tablets/phones the navi links will simply move above the screen, then you'll have the title, description and finally the container.]
There is an optional dropdown menu for your updates and a searchbar, npf posts fix ( @ glenthemes ) so photos uploaded from your phone always show correctly, pxu photosets so photosets always resize correctly, minimal soundcloud player, video resizing script ( @shythemes and @bychloethemes ), an askbox with a colorful button ( @eggdesign),  the 'can't right-button click nor see the source' script to keep people from stealing it, rounded borders, and instructions all over the html in case you want to bring changes there. Sources are always visible when present, tumblr controls are smaller and grow when you hover over them. Icons by cappuccicons (follow html instructions if you want to replace them) and bgs from pixabay.
It also has animated title and navi links, and your custom pages will appear right under them. Only note is that if you pick 540px posts people with small laptops (1024px) will only be able to see one column of them before they are cut off so max 9 links or they won't fit for them.
Options from the customization page:
-you can upload your own background (toggling off the selectbg option), and a semi-transparent 'overlay’ image on top of your posts, right now it's the same as the overlay you can add to your background.
-you can select: post-size, type of blockquotes, font of your posts, or if you toggled on selectbg’ you can also select one of the 7 spring themed bgs present, as well as adding an optional overlay and gradient on top of them (to remove them you select the blank space instead). Instructions in the html if you want to add the overlay and gradient to a background you uploaded instead (because they conflict with the existence of a background-color and it needs to be removed). -you can toggle on and off: like I said the selectbg option which allows you to upload your own background instead of picking among provided ones, the visibility of the container decorations in case you want them without flowers on the top left and bottom right corners, the like button, your avatar/portrait on the sidebar, the ladybug icon which you can click on to show updates and searchbar, the unnested captions in textposts, the unnested captions in all other posts (if you pick them, the portrait and url of the person who wrote the post will be on top, editable in the unnested captions sections of the html), the background for post-titles which will show you the blog background, the border around unnested captions, the 'spring version' of the description which will be replaced by a regular rectangular one without flower crown, the minimal spotify player (as opposed to one that shows you the big album art), and the fade-out (how things fade when you refresh the page).
-you can type in: the font size of your regular text, the space between images in photosets, your posts background and description background colors (right now it's rgba(234, 211, 248, 80%) for both, except the description has a 90% of visibility, I used rgba because I liked the semi-transparency but you can use whatever you want), the linear-gradient of your container bg colors and of your tumblr audioplayer, the symbol next to your lists, the text of your update (when you click on the ladybug), 7 navigation links and their titles when you hover over them.
What can't you do from the custom page? you need to go to the html editor to edit fonts and sizes of everything else (just search for font-family and font-size) as they go hand in hand, and you need to manually delete the navigation links you don't want or the spinning flower will stay.
A reminder to always toggle on and off everything and to not trust tumblr preview when seen from the editor because it will hide things and mess with images positions, always open the blog in another tab to see your changes.  
And because I’m a nervous wreck at the thought of not giving it for free, a reminder that I’m happy to answer questions - though I can’t guide you every day/through super long complicated editing if you decide to change the entire theme because I’m not always here. If you decide to edit everything you should have some html/css knowledge.

another sorta liveblogging of episode 36 in jp dub (what even is watching bakugan in the proper order anymore lmaoo)
Tumblr media
can’t say that i love this angle, king!
Tumblr media
lowkey if you didn’t know anything about nv or zenoheld you could be tricked into thinking that zenoheld was the good king who formed this team of teenage brawlers based on this shot simply bc. . .zenoheld has the most basic expression and doesn’t look ominous at all lmao
Tumblr media
wait it was a samurai-themed attraction all along??
volt swaying in sync w the other men: >:( come at me brawlers
this part of nv is probably THE BEST part of nv lmaoo
you can’t tell me the title of the episode is just samurai 😭
Tumblr media
for a show that’s made some of the most sick looking cards, these fucking BLOW
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hE HAS THE WORST POKER FACE EVER IM CRYING,,,
a random klaus phone call and an even more random maron appears
why is klaus even relevant to the story like this. he just feels so. . .randomly added on. if you wanna talk about teleportation technology then why not make alice that person to talk to??
did klaus just casually mention that maron came to earth??? this is what no context does to a person lol
Tumblr media
the height difference is even more hilarious when you remember. this dude is 12.
dan: haha just take ur sister out and have fun, you already lost the haos energy anyway :))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he just destroyed this boy’s whole career lmaooo
but i mean. he’s not wrong lol
Tumblr media
why does maron lowkey have the gus grav color scheme
and the enormous eyebrows
Tumblr media
I HATE THIS RIDE sm we don’t even have those safety thingies around to keep us grounded here in denmark 😭 you’re just literally holding on for dear life lmao
idk if that’s the case everywhere but i still HATE this ride
Tumblr media
damn ok itachi
Tumblr media
what im getting from this dude is ‘blah blah im doing this on my own’ but really, we all know he wants to check out samurai land lmaoo
you 👏 are 👏 not 👏 slick 👏 sHUN 👏
Tumblr media
are you telling me baron and maron were safe from being detected all along bc they didn’t bring a gauntlet w them and bc shun left the barrier he made them vulnerable to attack ALL BC HE WANTED TO GO SAMURAI LAND AND NOT TELL ANYBODY??
today’s episode conflict is brought to you by: shun’s dumb ass
oh wait maron and baron are leaving samurai land. so ig shun’s just going to duke it out w volt by himsef?
Tumblr media
ig there’s no better time to play shun’s arrival than during a samurai-themed episode when shun’s legit about to arrive BUT STILL PLS
NOT SHUN’S ARRIVAL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they are legit doing this dumbass fucking exchange to shun’s arrival playing in the bg i can’t
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE ANY OF THIS SERIOUSLY
why are you calmly identifying each other when we’re halfway through part 2 of nv 😭 you two dumb bitches have already MET BEFORE
Tumblr media
THIS DUDE BROUGHT HIS GAUNTLET??? why wasn’t his detected??? did marucho deactivate it or
shaman: you brought ur gauntlet along??
baron: yeah :))
IG NOT?? GOSH y’all are SO DUMB why would you bring a gauntlet if it wasn’t safe and WHY did volt only detect shun’s gauntlet???
Tumblr media
he boutta accidentally teach her how to become a better haos brawler than himself lmao
Tumblr media
i hate this omgg why are u two like this 😂
i might be getting by on my weeb japanese vocabulary alone but even i don’t think their interaction makes any damn sense 😂😭
but from what i could gather w speech to txt translation, volt asks why shun would reveal himself to his enemies and he goes “bc that’s just what the brawlers do”
THIS GUY
you know if it had been volt and shun w different people they NEVER would’ve been this extra, they’re bringing out SOMETHING within the other person and its 😂😂😂
Tumblr media
NOT BARON JOINING THEIR FIGHT BY ACCIDENT
he really was about to reveal his location just like that. woww
Tumblr media
ohh is the time stop phenomenon an earth exclusive thing?? that’s interesting
Tumblr media
these gate cards have quite the fucking range omg
the pace in this first round alone is insane
Tumblr media
eyyy
Tumblr media
some of these stances lmaoo i swear
Tumblr media
ingram and the trap bakugan were both defeated and it only took that little of a chunk off his life gauge???
though there was a 50 points difference between volt’s bakugan and shun’s so maybe that’s the thing that determines it?? idk
also that’s such an unflattering picture of shun my gosh
it just occurred to me that. shun hasn’t lost his attribute energy yet. and he decided to fight volt for no reason?? who stole shun’s brain cell in this episode im just asking for a friend 😭
i mean, unless winning against volt gives them back the haos energy but idk if that’s the case
Tumblr media
what an abolsute downgrade hE LOST HIS ABS IN THE EVOLUTION
also shun’s really nerfed if he needs help from baron in order to win 😭
what a chad volt’s still taking them both on
Tumblr media
not so swaggy bruh
tfw shun and baron have to use both their guardian bakugan AND their trap bakugan to even match volt’s current power lvl how is that a thing
Tumblr media
HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE INGRAM THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE CHEATING
THIS IS ALREADY A 2V1 WTF
Tumblr media
i mean are you seeing this???? they have to have 5 bakugan out against 2 just to be a little ahead in tersm of g power this is insane
volt you absolute chad
Tumblr media
sHAMAN CAN CHANGE HIS ATTRIBUTE??? I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PREYAS EXCLUSIVE ABILITY IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE
preyas and elfin lost their only party trick, how could you do this to them spinmaster
and baron can use a darkus ability too wtf
i mean ig since attribute correlation means shit past s1 rip
Tumblr media
you know they had to pull some bs like this to justify volt losing, HE LAUNCHED AN ATTACK WHILE HIS POWER LEVEL WAS THE HIGHEST
Tumblr media
AND THE DIFFERENCE IN G POWER IS MORE THAN 500 TOO
THERE’S NO WAY THEY COULD INFLICT DAMAGE WHEN THEY’RE WEAKER THIS IS CHEATING
how can volt be this much of a beast on his own and not be allowed to win is what im wondering
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not a darkus ability somehow blinding a haos user
Tumblr media
i don’t understand what determines these damages but ok
i feel like shun’s starting to understand that volt is pretty good dude even though he’s a vexos
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN MARON WAS HIDING FROM MACHINE GUN BULLETS WHY IS NOW THE TIME YOU DECIDE IT’S TOO DANGEROUS FOR HER???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
why did this need to exist lmaoo im done
what if this cursed shun image was used for the life gauge avatar instead could u imagine
but even so lets thank chihiro suzuki for his vocal performance 🙏 he really knows how to make his voice smooth like butter
Tumblr media
INGRAM JUMPED INTO THE ACTION AND GOT HIS ASS BEAT AFTER 20 SECONDS IM NOT MAKING THIS UP
HOW DO YOU HAVE THE VENTUS ATTRIBUTE ENERGY AND UR STILL THIS FUCKING WEAK
get fucking dunked on ingram
and you too shun for thinking you stood a chance against volt w baron LET ALONE BY UR DAMN LONESOME
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cUTE but its still bs that baron had to revive ingram so volt couldn’t take him on by himself lol
i wonder if there’s some sort of lesson in this episode about. . solitude. . .power of friendship. . .idk
how does shun lose two rounds and not get booted
ig its the fact that the resistance has lost two attribute energies in a row so
Tumblr media
yOU CAN COMBINE ABILITIES LIKE THAT????
what even are the rules of this game anymore
Tumblr media
how do you lose and still look that composed gosh.
love this dude
Tumblr media
not shun teaching maron how to lie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh no he’s getting attached
au where shun gets a little sister when
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mission failed we’ll get them next time chief
maron really dipped after that peck on the cheek lmao and i can’t handle shun being this soft w someone 😭👌 he would make a great older brother

Friend - visual narrative
Tumblr media
this is going to be a long thread bc i have a LOT of panels, so read under the cut!
since im reworking with Friend chapters panels, i paid attention to the details more than ever before.. and wow, the way these chapters are narrated is absolutely amazing
lets start off with my one of my fav panels
Tumblr media
if there is a theme between these two that keep recurring it’s “duality” (whether when it comes to their character or the way their story is told) we will also find a lot of parallels with it.. this panel above starts it very well, one left, one right, they both call each other’s name, the expressions completely different, even the background is reversed
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
there we go again, all this in one chapter, i simply love how they have the same pose/image but reversed, its a really nice contrast with how different they are and yet are at the same level also, look at their speech bubbles, most of the time, jugram has a round one while bazz a sharper one, its the case here and the previous panels aswell
Tumblr media
AGAIN! kubo gives us each’s pov with the same image/paneling, i love that method bc he treats them the same, even if one is stronger than the other and ppl will most likely root for/side with one more than the other, they both get the same treatment, also, we get to see how both lives the same struggle, it both conflicts them this whole fight considering the past they had together
the transition is also really nice, the black background outside the panel and the partial grey shading that matches with it inside the panel.. we will get to see that technique again, but here?? lovely.
Tumblr media
a whole page not showing their face even if you guessed who they were, you get that little surprise with the face reveal which comes out really nice
Tumblr media
the chapter reveal!!!! its so pure and empty (no dialogue and it’s only one panel), it perfectly empathize on the title and its meaning
Tumblr media
i love how discreet bazz motive to help out jugo is shown here, obviously none of them would speak about it (jugo is pretty closed and bazz despite being loud, he isnt obnoxious and he’s smart) so it had to be shown without any words and these panels do it so well!
Tumblr media
the first panel is just so beautiful and you can tell how jugo is just, happy. and then, the moment his uncle speaks, his face drastically changes, from white to black, kubo loves to work with that contrast of b&w (just look how the ritters/espadas are dressed vs shinigamis.. there is also the sun/moon theme and so on... its not called bleach for nothing lmao) kubo uses contrast very often and we can tell he loves to do it (and he does it super well!!)
Tumblr media
i know we dont have any colour on these pages, but both pages are from the same chapter, first one (right) being their fist meeting on a normal day (probably an evening so the sky is orange ish) and the second page is again a jump to a flashback but this time it’s not the sky that we are shown in the last panel, but rather flames, the same colour as the day they met... the two last panels look the same but arent....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there is also the absence of facial expression in some panels, which imo conveys the mood much better, we are not left up to interpretation, we clearly know what kind of feelings that are expressed yet they didnt need to be shown...
Tumblr media
again with the parallels (left/right) and using the same image from younger to older to show their growth? nice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the built up with the grand reveal... wow, love it, also, that panel was such a surprise to me when i first read it... still give me goosebumps today ngl..(if you are a manga reader to likes to have the book, well, this the end of vol69... what an ending :))) just look at the build up, the bg is dark and you get that white and empty panel right after like, wow 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AGAIN WITH THE SUPRISE AND WOW IT HURTS, also the title being in capital... OOF, im going to loose it
ppl like to call kubo lazy with his titles, but is it?? i mean, here, i really cant think of a better title, remember how the first chapter friend was introduced? so sweet and smooth and then you get this... the fact friend is written here is a good call back to their relationship, what it is, what it really means, and the current situation
Tumblr media
the way bazz recalls all the things he had heard about this.......th-that hurts (we’re like in his mind, we’re just as shocked as he is) also, it shows well how bazz recall all these moment in silence and does all the realization without saying a thing, bc no, he didnt say a thing ever since yhwach started to talk..
Tumblr media
the left panel is yhwach talking (as he was for like the whole chapter) and there is no dialogue going on, the two boys didnt say a thing... as the slience was taking place, bazz breaks is with a shrieking voice, just looking how the letters are written in japanese, we went from pure, clear panel to a messy and dark one....
Tumblr media
jump back to present, with both jugrams having the same pose but they both don’t convey the same feeling, with the shading and how cut it is (not being able to fully see jugo’s eyes) you can tell the first one is more disturbing/devastating than the second one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there we go... we get to see both of their expression at the same time and it change within the following panels,.. (im telling you, kubo love both of them, not just one.., both.)
Tumblr media
this is one of my favorites moments, the way know bazz has lost his fight and how HE is self-conscious about it..., the way he monologues about jugram is really depressing, and how we are only given images that illustrates his struggle...the images are so strong, desperate and yet, his words are so empty, powerless, he knew he lost.. (the moment i start reading it, i cry on the fucking floor)
Tumblr media
i mentioned earlier how i loved kubo’s choice in not showing the face, well we have it here again in a flashback and the end of the fight... jugram turning his back to bazz, he did it in the past and did it after bazz’ death..  it’s his way to avoid to face his feelings. (the fact we are shown he did it in the past and the reason to it, let us know why he did it again even later)
Tumblr media
here again with empty panels, the fact it’s only bazz who is talking.... feels really heavy and the way he clings to jugram with burning hands....... you really need to look at every panel carefully to feel that heart wrenching moment,, there is no crying or screaming, he just softly admits his defeat and that’s it, like, im sorry but that’s fucking sorrowful
Tumblr media
here again with kubo choosing to not show the face, but in this case, it’s harder for us to tell which expression jugram has (since he’s so closed about showing emotions or his intentions) but the fact kubo deliberately chose to hide it proves jugram has something to hide from us, something he didnt want us (readers) to see.........
Tumblr media
these panels? concludes their story perfectly you have jugram walking up the stairs leaving bazz-b alone laying behind, being reminded of the day they met where bazz was the one standing high while jugram is on the ground the setting: the cold empty castle during nighttime vs the warm summer day met in a forest at daytime bazz reached to jugram and jugram left him behind, they met with touched hearts only to leave with empty ones, bazz used to look down on jugram and now, jugram does, they used to be so different and still do but only now, their role are inverted...
thank you @equipollency​ for that remark! i think your post does it much better if yall wanna read it !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i mentioned earlier how the background (outside the panel) would change from black to white, we know the black means the past,  but i love how its broken here, going back and forth from the past and present (within the same page) to show how things are still the same between them, the same struggle, the same fight over and over
also, the “not yet” is just so perfectly placed, i cant, it just emphasize even more on my point earlier (how things between them never changed on that matter)  and it finally concludes the flashbacks (with the way it’s presented: the b&w,, and the words themselves, how they weight so much)
Tumblr media
the black shading like that is rarely used with kubo but when he does, you know it conveys extreme emotions (we didnt get to see it with bazz bc it wasnt as intense as jugram has it but also)  the trigger to these emotions for jugram are related to trauma, the first one being his uncle and the second being his friendship (im not calling his relation with bazz traumatic, its how important this relationship was to him and how ended up broken that triggers him)
Tumblr media
but NaKi ThErE iS ThiS pAneL wHerE baZz Is ShaDeD bLacK! yes i know, but it’s not about bazz expression nor emotions, its about the scene, the situation (the white bg vs the black silhouette: perfect), so no it doesnt count, but its still a very nice panel just like with the jugo’s reveal with everyone “kneeling” to him.. white bg was The way to go
Tumblr media
i forgot to talk about how i like their fight, how there is so little dialogue and how there are a lot of empty pages just to let place to the fight... it lets you enjoy their fight while we suffer with their flashback, anyways, im not a fan of endless dialogue in fights unless it really changes something, here, they both already know each other and they know what they want, so it was a good pick to just, us reader, witness their story through their mind instead of them narrating/recalling it to us
Tumblr media
i know kubo uses that technique outside of these chapters, but the grey shading... i love.. he also has a LOT of close ups with eyes bc we all know how expressive eyes are;... i love that too
Tumblr media
i know i talked about some facial expressions, but really, kubo’s art is amazing, the way he can convey certain expressions that are so precise... here, have some panels that i think are underrated naki your boys are underrated.. bc i love kubo’s art so much
i had the chance to see the colored version only once, and to be honest, the black and white is just, Amazing. nothing close to that, kubo’s use of b&w and how he keeps his panels pure is MADE to stay that way
anyways, im really in love with how Friend was made and thought out in it’s visual narrative (and story wise too ofc), kubo didnt just do a side story, these chapters are fucking amazing and ppl often ignores that sadly..
