A Long Road Home - Author Notes
Page 33
I promised no angst not no conflict. ;)
Also wow can you spot the significant NPC?? I meant to introduce this woman as the primary antagonist for this chapter a LONG time ago but moving Imogen and Laudna’s first meeting from the market to the woods meant that we never saw the early tension between Laudna and the other shoppers (although she does mention it) and then they just never went back to the market haha. They were never planned to come into real conflict with her until the second half of the chapter anyway, and her early appearance was about as substantial as it is on this page — she just stepped in to pointedly ask Laudna “There a problem here, stranger?” and scare her away from the apple stand. Just enough to establish that there’s an Authority Figure with her eye on Laudna.
So instead now there’s a suggestion of some unpleasant history between her and Imogen. (Probably should have included her in the exorcism flashback but it didn’t occur to me at the time, oops. Maybe when I go back and touch up everything for the print edition I will put her back in.) We’ll learn a bit more about her in upcoming pages but her scar suggests that she’s probably a veteran of the Apex War.
For a LONG time, up until I actually started drawing this page, the goat’s name was originally Truffle Butter. I wrote this all so long ago it was before we knew that the puppet naming convention was “gourmet meat dishes” and not “fatal dinner party dishes.” I held onto it for a long time because Truffle Butter was just so cute but (Beef) Wellington is pretty cute too. (Other contenders were Prosciutto, Filet Mignon, and Tartare but I think Tartare might be the Hound of Ill Omen? Not officially confirmed or anything but you can hear Travis and Marisha discussing it in the background chatter of a recent episode. The etymological link to Tartarus fits well for a hellhound I think!)
At this point Laudna (and thus Pâté) doesn’t yet know Percy survived and returned to Whitestone so they believe Pâté is the last of the family line. :’)
The mom with the parade of daughters all tied together on a string in the background is a nod to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which is a partial inspiration for my Gelvaan aesthetic. (And a great movie.) :)

“the first time u intertwine ur body with him u will feel the pain it took for him to get here. yet all the strength. the battle the bruises the scars. u change ur semantics. and pay attention to his movements. resonate with the feeling of familiarity in a body torn open but completely soft. and the clothes are off. and we are both nude. but the vagina still remains an open wound. something u can not bandage. only describe as something reclaimed.”

I'll never, ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time forever
Never wanna hear you say goodbye
I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I miss you
And I need you so much
See you, breathe you
I want to be you
You can take, take, t-take, take, time, time
To live, live the way you gotta, gotta live your life
Give me, give me, give me all of you, you
Don't be scared, of seeing through the loneliness
I want it more, more, more
Don't even think about what's right or wrong, or wrong or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me
And no one else is going to be around
To answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be
So even if the world falls down today
You've still got me to hold you up, up
And I will never let you down, down”

Do you eat the crusts of your bread? Now I do. When I was a kid I used to ask my grandma to slice them off. Do you know who Miss Havisham is? Only because of Gabie. Which body type would you say you had? Idk, slim? Would you live in an igloo? I’d try it out for a night, but I don’t know about live. Have you ever made homemade lemonade? I don’t think so.
Is green one of your favourite colours? I hate green. Are you afraid of the dark? Only when the dark is supposed to make things scarier, like if I’m in a haunted house or the woods lmao. Generally I’m not afraid. Have you ever flown a kite? Yes, many times. I still reached the time when kids used to play outside, so I definitely had some fun with kites. What’s your preferred flavour of jam? I hate fruits so the only jam I’ll consume is guava, and only because it’s part of my high school’s signature tart. What’s in your fridge? Frozen food, ice cream, vegetables, some condiments/spices, juices, chocolate, a cake. What kind of animal did you last pet? My doggie. Would you ever consider becoming a nurse? No. I remember there being a huge demand for Filipino nurses like 10 years ago, and it seemed as though everyone took up nursing in college. But I never considered it, not even during that time. Do you like elephants? I love elephants. But not in a exploit-them kind of way, LEAVE THEM ALONE How are you for money? I think I’ll be good this week. I get to save money because Gab and I won’t be seeing each other for our usual date night, and I only drive three days this week so I don’t have to spend a lot for gas as well. Of course, I’ll be flushing these down the toilet because my friends and I plan to drink out this Friday. Describe your best pair of shoes: My favorite is my pair of white/red/blue Onitsuka Tiger sneakers. They’re so comfy to wear and yet it matches everything. Do you think you are more intelligent than the average person? I have my moments but I obviously don’t go around vocally stating it, or unnecessarily use ridiculously big words around people. Do you ever think about why we are here? No. That’s Gabie’s question to mull over hahahah, I hate philosophy. What’s something that saddens you? Old people who are alone, when peoples shop instead of adopt, animals getting endangered. Do you like cherries? Hate. Name a celebrity that you admire that nobody would expect you to: Kendall Jenner, although t b h it is getting increasingly hard to be patient with her increasingly problematic ass. She used to be my favorite but now that title belongs to Kourtney. Who is the most desperate person you know? LOL. She recently pissed me off so I’ll put her on here: my girlfriend’s grandma. What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you during sex? Too disgusting to share with the world, so I’ll have to pass. Are you lonely? Not right now. What is your favourite musical? I hate musicals, but I have a soft spot for Miss Saigon because my mom practically made me listen to it from the womb. Would you agree that taking drugs isn’t as cool as it used to be? I never found it cool. Animal print: yes or no? Not anymore. Who is the most fashionable person you know? Kate, for sure. Sis always serves a new look. Can you use a yoyo? Duh. A Filipino made it so it’s pervaded Filipino kid culture for as long as I can remember. Everyone had yo-yos. Do you like to colour? I do. On my Christmas depression break last year I bought several coloring books and a massive case of coloring pencils, just so I can finally start on the hobby that I’ve put off for a long time. What’s an instrument you’ve always wanted to learn to play? Piano. Would you go on holiday to a snowy place? I would. Anywhere that’s different from tropical Philippines. Do you like Kate Bush? Never heard. Do you prefer to shave or wax? Shave. I’ve never had myself waxed. Are you one of those people who are constantly playing Angry Birds? Hahahahahaha 2011 called, they want their fad back. Have you ever broken anything of value? I don’t remember anything right now but I definitely wouldn’t be surprised to find out that I have. I practically break everything I touch. Would you ever have sex in a public place? Sure as long as we’re not exhibiting it on purpose. What’s a song that makes you want to check into a mental asylum? Lmao wtf? You mean a song that depresses/numbs me too much? Cos if that’s what you mean, then there’s a song on the New Moon soundtrack called Slow Life by Grizzly Bear that I routinely listen to when I’m completely out of it. What’s the worst chat up line anybody has ever used on you? I don’t chat with a lot of people so I’ve never gotten anything bad. Have you ever completely misjudged somebody? Sure. Do you know anybody who is pregnant at the minute? Nope. Who did you last speak to on the phone? My girlfriend, aka the only person I talk to on the phone. Do you give money to homeless people? Yes. If I have snacks laying around I give that as well. Don’t you think that tattoos are just tacky? Some can be. Do you like politics? I hate it, but I have to pay attention because I give a shit about my country. Is summer your favourite season? Not really. The rainy season is. Do you know what OFWGKTA stands for? Nope. Sounds like some sort of boujee rap shit. When was the last time you were inside a tent? Seventh grade. What’s your best memory? As of now, seeing Paramore, my Sagada trip, or rebuilding my friendship with Gab. I couldn’t pick. Do you think Jenna Marbles’ videos are funny? I like her old stuff; I generally don’t view her newer videos. Have you grown up yet, or do you still think you have some more to do? There’s a loooooooot lot lot of growing up to do. 20 is not a mature age at all. What is your opinion on Internet dating sites? Whatever works for you. < Do you like folk music? Some are hits, most of them I really just don’t care for. Are there any strange names that you like? Ines. It’s such a pretty name, but it also means ‘annoy’ in Filipino so it’s always sounded a little off to me :( I also saw the name Imogen once and I really liked it, but I don’t even know how to pronounce it + sounds too foreign for the PH so I doubt I’ll ever take the name.
Is there anybody you would like to completely banish from your life? MY MOM !!! Would you say you had pretty decent music taste? Uhhhh it’s fine, but I wouldn’t share it to anyone. Your favourite pasta dish: Truffle mac and cheese or carbonara. Do you know what the most commonly used letter in the English language is? E. Have you ever felt trapped in a situation? Sure. Strangest thing you’ve ever seen? A weird creepy-crawly thing that fell from the ceiling onto my laptop. Ever had a crush on somebody of the same sex? Yep, I am dating her at this moment. Has anybody ever called you a bastard? I dunno, I don’t think so. Would you like to meet the queen? I’d take the chance if offered. I’m paying to take you to see a musical - which one do you choose? Miss Saigon. Do you think that the media portrays women as being equal to men? There’s work being done but it’s still not satisfying. Lowest point of your life: Some suicidal stints when I was 12 and 18. What’s your favourite flavour of Vitamin Water? Never drank those. Do you post pictures of yourself online constantly? Never, unless Gab is in the picture as well. Who is the last person you ignored? Elis, my orgmate who pissed me off two weeks ago. Do you know any lesbians? Sure, my girlfriend is. Would you wear feathers in your hair? If it was part of an even more elegant/elaborate outfit then sure. When was the last time you were well and truly scared? Two Mondays ago. Do you know how to use a camera properly? For the most part, but I generally don’t mess with the more specific controls e.g. aperture and ISO since that part I’m clueless about. Favourite member of your favourite band: That’s unfair. I love all of them. Which country would you be from besides your own? That's not... what? < Same. Are you ashamed of your own body? Not really. I don’t care how it’s shaped. Who’s your favourite female rapper? I don’t have one. When was the last time you received a letter? December.

This might seem lazy, how about 9 (OC questions) for ALL the OCs you mentioned!! (I like seeing how people's OCs differ heh) Also 30 for your Hawkes :)
Oh dear, this is a tough one, largely because I haven’t really thought about it!9. What is their favorite mealGrace Ryder - cheeseburgers, but the snooty gastro pub kind with aioli and truffle cheese, and perfectly crispy tater tots on the side.
Mairead Cousland - has not met a whole lot of food she doesn’t like, but has a particular fondness for any and all cake, which she will absolutely eat for breakfast.
Solona Amell - likely tapas-type stuff, with lots of red wine.
Nathalie Hawke - simple things, like roasted chicken with plenty of vegetables.
Selena Hawke - steak, medium-rare.
Alya Lavellan - a tie between spicy Dalish curries and any and all fancy Orlesian cuisine.
Imogen Trevelyan -  fresh, hot bread liberally slathered with butter and honey.
30. What makes them cry
Nathalie - sadness, happiness, frustration, particularly moving songs or books… you name it. She’s a cryer.
Selena - more apt to hide her feelings with humor, or–in the case of Bethany and Leandra’s deaths–be in too much of a state of shock to cry. She wept when Fenris left her after their night together, but only after he’d gone.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Alex Wolff on Being ‘Best Friends’ With Nicolas Cage and Losing 30 Pounds for a Role (Variety)
Working on “Human Capital” was a reunion for Alex Wolff and Maya Hawke.
The two play love interests in the indie thriller about a horrific accident that causes two families to fracture as secrets are uncovered and threatened to be exposed.
It turns out that Wolff and Hawke went to pre-school together in New York City. They even dressed as Power Rangers together for Halloween, Wolff, 22, tells me on this week’s episode of “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeart’s weekly podcast. “I feel like Maya’s going to deny that she dressed as a Power Ranger for Halloween, and I just want to go on record, she’s lying,” Wolff cracked.
In the movie, Wolff plays a loner with anger issues. He’s very similar to the high schooler he plays in “The Cat and the Moon,” which also marked his feature film writing and directing debut.
While Wolff admits “The Cat and the Moon” was inspired by his teen years in New York (he started writing it when he was 15), it is not a biopic. The character he plays, Nick, comes to live with a friend of his dead father while his mother is in rehab. (Wolff’s jazz musician dad, Michael Wolff, is very much alive and his mom is “Thirtysomething” star Polly Draper.)
Nick is a hard partier who gets into violent fights. He’s tattooed and his hair is buzzed. “They sent me to therapy right away,” Wolff joked about his parents’ initial reaction to the script. “They put me in a straitjacket.”
Actually, Draper gave her son notes (as did their next-door neighbor Noah Baumbach) and his father composed some of the film’s score.
If playing Nick wasn’t enough of a transformation for Wolff, he pulled a Christian Bale and lost 30 pounds to play a drug addict in the upcoming opioid epidemic drama “Castle in the Ground,” co-starring Imogen Poots. “I basically got the job and then just stopped eating, which ended up causing a lot of problems, and I would not suggest that,” Wolff said. “But I lost like 30 pounds in a couple weeks and it was really tough… It ended up causing a ton of health problems. It was a whole pain. But when I see the movie, I do look really gaunt and a bit emaciated and white, just super pale. So I feel like it’s worth it for that.”
Wolff’s stardom soared to new heights with his performance in the 2018 horror hit “Hereditary.” He’s also part of the “Jumanji” ensemble, which includes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. The $125 million third installment of the “Jumanji” series has grossed $788 million worldwide since its release in December. Wolff insists he doesn’t know if or when a fourth film will get the greenlight. “I would do 10 more,” he says. “I’m not kidding. I love it.”
He’s also hoping for a reunion of “The Naked Brothers Band.” He and his older brother, Nat, starred in the Nickelodeon series created by their mom from 2007 to 2009. “I have not outgrown it,” he says.
The siblings have bounced around some possible storylines. “We did talk about Alex, who [was] a lemon-lime [soda] addict, is probably a drug addict,” Wolff said, before admitting that probably wouldn’t fly with Nickelodeon.
Wolff says he has another script he’s shopping around that he’s written with plans to direct again. Nicolas Cage may come on board as a producer.
Yes, that Nicolas Cage.
Wolff says Cage has become one of his “best friends” and “one of the most loyal people in my life” after shooting “Pig,” an upcoming drama about a truffle hunter (Cage) who enlists the help of a truffle salesman (Wolff) to search for his kidnapped foraging pig.
“We talk almost every few days,” he said. “We text all day and he FaceTimed me like two days ago, and we really support each other and help each other with things. We started making the movie when we were both going through very similar personal things in our life and we bonded over it immediately and connected, and were very emotionally open with each other. We just became best friends.”
