So it was established in the last episode that Taylor still believes in Santa (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up prior to this ep too but anyways-) so... Do you think (saint) Nicky been has portalling in every year since the betrayal to sneak in a gift for his son amongst the pile? That Cassandra doesn't even notice because it's just one among the many many presents she herself has bought and wrapped? But every year without fail... Taylor gets one gift that simply says "from: Nick" and well, obviously that has to mean it's from Santa (a conclusion which Nicky expects him to come to, and why he can sign his name at all, though he misses when he could just write "dad"). And one year when he's still quite young, a sleepy little Taylor actually catches Nicky in the act, and Nicky wishes more than anything that he could just *stay*, but instead he only softly tells Taylor to go back to bed, and Taylor thinks that Santa is a lot younger and a bit sadder than he expected, but what's he gonna do- not listen to Santa Claus? So he smiles meekly at the man he does not know to be his father, and hurriedly heads back to his room.
Also yes of course Nicky eats the fucking cookies left out of course he's not gonna pass up on free cookies (which are home-baked to top it off) come on that's a given.
so since sophomore year has been slowly fully releasing on youtube instead of being mainly a dropout exclusive i’ve been able to watch sophomore year in full finally , and yesterday i got to the start of angst fabian , and i want you to know riz asking him who did this to him and what happened has been on repeat in my brain for the last 24 hours
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the support on the cocole comic I made a while back, because it got waaaay more attention than I expected and I'm still in a lot of disbelief but!! I'm really glad!!! LOTS of behind the scenes ramblings under the cut, this is a really long post you've been warned lol (also psst,,, read Mic Check by @rendekobora,,,,)
I made it before the whole Act 5 surge of activity™️, so you can probably imagine how desperate I was for RD content that I just made some myself lmao. Also remembered the google docs I made for comic notes and
As you can see I was very sane when I was working on it (lie)
I also found some old comic concept sketches of one of Ren's other fics, Coffee Break :D
I remember initially planning to make a comic of Coffee Break first as some sort of practice, and then moving on to Mic Check as the actual project thinking it was doable (past mochii was unaware of the pain that is comic making. little did she know 😔).
Honestly the whole reason why I initially wanted to make a comic of the entire fic because the whole thing was just so GOOD. It was really difficult for me to even decide on what scene to draw because it just kept on getting better and better, the urge to just make the whole thing got me so bad like GHFGHGH. Lastly here's some more progress updates I did in a server because I thought they were funny
It’s finally time! This is my piece for the Thorin’s Spring Forge 2023 event! I got to work with the lovely, magnanimous, amazing @isclanel and create a short mini comic for their work, ���Interludes from Kinging”, which you can find here!
Thank you so much for being a lovely working partner, Isclanel!
