People have been making their own spider variants and spidersonas so I decided to make my own spider variant as well!
Meet the Fantastic Spider-Jester, aka Marcus Parker! Once a court jester in medieval times, a time portal blasted him into the future when he was sixteen, where he was promptly dumped into the foster system. He was eventually fostered and adopted by May and Ben Parker and slowly adapted to the modern day. He was bitten by a radioactive spider, and you all know the rest
Despite having adapted to modern times, he still tends to speak in Old English, and his spider suit is reminiscent of what we would now know as court jester outfits, even though those were only worn by amateurs back in his day. He also loves wearing makeup in a jesture-like fashion, though he hates whitening his face, so he sticks to simpler things (like in the picture)
He's now 23 and works as an apprentice special effects makeup artist for horror movies when not doing his spidey thing. He has natural webbing and also has 'gag' cards that explode and have various effects depending on the color, number, and suit of the card.

Hello, maybe a scenario where dazai is overstimmulation his female s/o? I'm so thirsty for dazai!
overstiming w dazai!
warnings : smut, sex, the nasty-
Tumblr media
calloused fingers lined your skin, drawing light circles on your clit like a harpist strumming a note. hoping the beautiful instrument he adorned would hum a tune to satisfy his ears. and by god did you fulfill his prayers every time. your back arching as his fingers fluttered against your most sensitive parts. your legs ached, being stationed at the sides of your face. framing your beautiful flustered face as if your pleasure was a canvas.
dazai smirked at you, enjoying the way your face radiated heat, your pussy sobbing on his fingers as if they were shoulders to cry on. his left hand trailed up your body, dancing up your skin lightly, as if it would break if he pressed too hard. hand residing on your jaw, gripping it firmly and securely. your sight was hazy, your pupils dialated and tumbling to the back of your head. the feeling of dazai’s strong grip was pulling you back to reality, forcing you to look into his eyes as his fingers pleasured you immensely.
‘do you like that princess?’ he cooed, a question that he knew the answer to. his voice like honey dripping from his lips, encouraging you towards reaching the peak. your core becoming tighter as his pace quickened. your face streaked with tears, your boy twitched and shook with immense pleasure. his fingers moved inside you. deep and calculated. he offered you complements, a sultry voice telling you to let go was enough to push you over the edge of your third orgasm.
your body convulsed, involuntary motions directing your hands to push dazai away. he stood firm, his motions in exploring your insides never ceased. once he was satisfied with your state of ruin. your body load astrew, your fucked out state making the restraint in his pants unbearable.
‘i think you’re ready now, you ready for this cock?’ he questioned, holding himself above you, unfolding your legs to dull the ache of being in that position. you pouted, your pussy tingling from being strung out. your moment of relaxation didn’t last long before one leg was pulled into the air. a soft kiss being pressed onto your calf, your lips curled at the jesture, only to be sent spiraling back into your state of pleasure as he pushed his cock into you. you let out a full throated moan.
his pace started off harsh, sharp deep thrusts that rocked your entire body. each thrust seemilying pushing your spirit out of your body. his dick beautifully kissing every fluttering muscle inside your pussy. relentlessly stringing another orgasm from your already over sensitive heat. your throat warmed, bubbling moans and whimpers dripping from your tongue as dazai fucked you vigorously with mercy. no restraints as he ignored every cry and gasp, his thrusts unrelenting.
‘your pussy feels amazing, fuck, do you think you can cum again for me, baby?’ you cried at his words, eyes clenching tightly as he moved his hips to a different angle. your lip being caught between your teeth was the only thing keeping you from screaming. dazai’s cock wonderfully pressed against your gspot, you clenched the sheets. your mind was blank while dazai made music of your body. the coils in your body tightened, you felt yourself nearing the edge. pearing over it with fear but exicitment for the fall as dazai coxed you closer to the edge. you choked our your confession, crying and sobbing that you were going to cum.
‘good girl, cum for me,’ he demanded, nearing his own peak himself. you shivered, feeling his cock twitch and move inside you on such a sensitive manner. dazai himself, making a mess of your abused insides. your body convulsed and another oragasm took over your body. your limps felt light, core forcibly twisting and twitching to reward your lover. he stilled, leaving his cock to fill you.
‘you’re such a good girl, cumming so many times for me. can you give me one more?’

It had been long since I had a dream I can remember...
There was something with the Medic from Team Fortress 2. I don't remember what was in the beginning, but he was unconscious, two men I didn't recognise carried him into a dark underground corridor and laid him on the rails. It looked like a scene from a GMod video, with flailing legs. The men said that the train was coming and stood aside.
After the train passed, Medic was found further on the way and he turned out to be still alive. He looked unharmed but he was nearly motionless and made quiet noises. I think I saw a dog photo fall on him.
Suddenly this changed to a scene in a place that looked like a shop. There were a few people and a schnauzer dog. The people held some suspicious sketchy drawings, and looked at them and the dog.
Afterwards I saw just the dog on a dark background, it made "evil" jestures and had Medic's voice.

*silver poked his head in Dark's office, he knew Dark wasn't one for grand jestures and so silver decided to stay small, but meaningful. He left a red velvet cupcake on his desk with whipped cream on top with some chocolate shavings and a candle. Beside the cupcake was a buildabear wearing a white suit holding an envelope with a wax sealing. Silver wanted to make this card classy like Dark.
The outside of the card inside was a handmade toony drawing of dark wearing a birthday hat. On the inside was written with caligraphy "Even though you are a busy man, i want you to know you are loved more than anything in the world! Here's to another year!" On a second look, the bear had a small weaved basket of self care items*
Dark had just woken up, coffee in hand with the paper in the other. He went over to his desk and smiled softly as he read over the card and looked over his gift "Thank you Silver, I really appreciate it~"

Little secret
“Honestly, only you could like  a place like this!” It’s not a big phrase, after all it’s just a fact, you showed mny many times to like kind of creepy like thing. The real thing that started to irritated you was more the constant degradation coming from the brunette behind you. You and Victoria weren’t friends, you were two people in the same group of friends, and that it’s completely different. It wasn’t even like you didn’t like her, she was an average girl like you.....just really bitchy, aggressive, far more capable around people than you and other thing, and you were you, and maybe that was enough  to hirritate her. You never understand why she hate you so much, and you didn’t want to know, but for the sake of the other memebers of your group you had just decided to  let go, but on this particularly trip in Louisiana she became particularly creative on how piss you off. The only thing you wanted was to have a good time with your friend doing camping, and now you and the only girl that enjoy just unsettle you around, mocking you and show off were forced to find the nearest city, Ambrose in this case, to find a phone because the driver of your van had forgotten to bring an extra bottle of motor oil.  You two were determinated to just not to be near each other, so you just ignored a pair of important signals that should have warned you, like a completely empty city and the most strange kind of museum that you had ever saw in your life.  It was incredible, the entire structure was made completely of wax! That place should have supposed to be in the Guinnes book!!! Victoria was...less impressed, bragging about the discomfort of the place. Inside was not different, even the forniture were made of wax! You two were able to notice this fact was when you posed ypur hand on the near library in a twenties syle room, and you check the books, the lamp, the flower...all made of wax! Being an artistic creature of your own, how could you not find this place amazing? Whoever was the creator of this museum, he sure was capable to deceive the eyes of the viewer! The only artist that had tried to do something like this was Dalì with his bread room, but compared to this masterpiece even the Barcelonan artist was overshadowed! But Victora was just...her. She didn’t get it all, just started to bragging how that place was creepy, you had just decide to not listen to her, untill the last sentence. “Well, it’s a you problem...” “Oh please, you creep out everybody with that notebook of yours! Drawing all that stuff...” “It’s none business what i do with my stuff Victoria. I don’t complain about the amount of alcohol that you swallow, or the the deadly breath that you bring around when you smocking pot or all the thing that i find annoying about you...” Your were more occupied on admiring the strutcure, but your ears pointing out the irritation of the girl behind your back by the movement of her shoes on the floor. “At least my friends did not bring me around just beuse they know i’ll be a looner all summer like somebody else!” Aaaaah, the old loser trap card, how did you not missed this. You weren’t that much of social, okay? But it wasn’t a big problem, if people didn’t want you around them they would have just left you in the big city...right? Well fuck Victoria and her fucking ability to just stab you  in the right place, you were that nervous that you just started to move around the museum, ignoring not only the surroinding, but even the muffled sound from the twenties room. “Oh yeah! I’m sooooo sorry, you know?! I’m so sorry that i prefer to stay on my own! I’m so in despair to know that i don’t follow all of those fucking tendencies like you and the others, that people prefer girls like you that and just think that girls like me should just go die in a pit because all society just don’t care about....” ....did you just hear a yelp of a dog? In your rage, you find yourself in another room...the prettyest one too, it was like one of those old victorian greenhouse, that too made of wax of course, like the plants too. The only difference?....there was a dog there.  On first sight, yur first idea was that, maybe, that was a fake dog, like all things inside that museum, but the sounds that it was making and the unmistakable movement of his torso surprise you! There it was, on four, looking at your direction, almost curious maybe? It was a medium size,white and black, and it wasn’t exactely something that you would have connected with a guard dog, since it wasn’’t even charging or barking at you. He was just there, watching you, trying to understand if you were a threat or not... “..OH! Hello buddy! What are you doing here???” Ok, no threat! You kneeling in front of him, stretching a hand  carefully to evitate to scare him all of sudden, and he reacted pretty well too! Still unsure about your intention, the dog dares to take a few step in your direction, sniffing your skin, and when finally it realized that maybe you weren’t so bad, it’s started to rub his on your palm, wagging his tail in the moment it sensed your nail scratching his throat side. “You’re such a good boy...uh?” The collar on throat showed a little rudimental, lamost handmade, metal label with a nome on it. “Sparky?...it’s your name? It’s adorable Sparky!” Completely absorved by the animal at your feet, you didn’t have the chance to sense the presence at your back, watching you carefully and moving without make a sound...but a dog is a naive creature, and Sparky had recognize only his owner, joyfully barking and reaching him. Only then you finally turn around, finally facing the first human being besides you and Victoria in that city. “Oh...um....it’s yours? I didn’t know, he was just sitting here alone and...” Silence, he wasn’t talking, and he was...strange. You weren’t capable to fully observe his face, covered in those that were his hair, a long raven mass that almost reached the hand of his back, messy and almost uncured. His clothes weren’t that different, boots covered in mud and something else that you didn’t dare to understand, a sweater that maybe a long time ago was white but lost his color for a new brownish shade, the trousers were hided behind an black leather apron. Again, your distraction on his look didn’t let you notice the position of his arm, like he was holding something behibnd his back, something that had already stained the unseen part of his sweater and that was ready to take care of you. He was ready to strik, until... “....Wait...a-are you the owner of the museum?.....you made all of this???” He stopped, your eyes were glued on his face, jesturing your finger on his apron, covered in now cold wax. Wait, why weren’t you scared? Didn’t you get a good look on his face? Maybe you didn’t get the max... You move closer, completely uneffected by his appearence, with a gleem in your eyes. “Did you???” Still unsure, and still with a  vice grip on whatever now he was hiding from you on his back, he made a simple movements with his head. “Oh my gosh you’re incredible! I never met someone that could have done something so amazing like this place! And it’s all hand made! You must be a genious!” His posture changed, it was more like a deer in front of a car, unsure of what was happening but still mesmerized by the situation. You liked his museum?! Usually he never get compliments like those, but the light in your eyes...you were sincere! Nobody ever was able to get so near him...at least alive....and you were a few inches from him, more interested on know the creator of this majestic palace. “If i knew there was a place like this i would have stopped by ages ago! Me and my...friend...have come here to find some motor oil, but it looks like the city is empty ...did you maybe know where we could find some?” This time he moves his head , gesturing a negative response. Well it wasn’t completely but still... Strange, he didn’t say a word from the moments he saw you..maybe he was mute... “....Oh ...well, just my luck....well i’ll fetch my friend and go back, maybe you saw her here too?” He do had node his head, but then he gestured the outside of the structured, and moved his finger, imitating a legs movements. “...Did she just leave me here?! That fucking...urg....” Trying to contains every derogatory adjective for the girl that seemed to have leaved you alone in a freacking ghost city, the mysterious man take his time to study your face. Maybe you two weren’t in a good term... Taking back your composure, you passed a hand in your (H/L) hair. Well, better for you! Victoria was usefull in the wild like toaster in a desert! Complaining about everything every five minutes! Finally some piece, and if you were lucky enough, she could have become a bear snack for the day! “..Sorry, it has been a really long day...i have to go back to my friend, sorry for the intrusion in your home...” He moved aside, give you space  between him and the dog to let you pass, but before getting out from the green house you stopped again, like you had forgotten something. “Oh yes! Anyway my name is Y/N!” Exctending your hand, you only find him far more confused from before, and after had finally understand your intentions, he started to to search something in his pocket. That something was an old piece of paper, something that maybe must have been part of a sketch book, and what that had remained of a black crayon. He really was mute, but maybe he was used to people to not get it the first time, sicne he hand to you what is was his writed name. Taking it, you finally met completely the artist. “Vincent Sinclair......It’s your name?...It’s cute! I like it!” Before he could take away his hand, you fully take it and shake it gently, sensing his skin through your palm. It wasn’t bad, it was strange feeling, maybe for the remaining presence of wax on it, but still normal somehow. When you released his hand, he stayed there, completely absorved bu your gesture. “Well...see you around Vin!”
//////////
From the inside, Vincent was able to take some last shots of you, just enough to memorize your body before the others structures could completely cancel your presence from the little city.  What had just happen in his house? Did he let a victim get away? But you were so strange, so...different. You didn’t scream at his presence, you didn’t find his museum creepy, you find it amazing...you find Vincent amazing. Abandoned the knife, covered in blood from his previous victim, now well hided in his workshop, Vincent started to finally reassemble his actions, he did let you go, but he lied to you about the girl....Well you weren’t that happy when he told that little lie, but still why did he do that? He didn’t want to scared you? He was confused, but still in that momemnt something happen in his mind. When he was thinking about someone his thoughts were about the utility of that subject in his museum, but now he wanted to...know you? He wanted to meet you again? More, he wanted to sculpture you something, he wanted to draw your face and make many anatomy study. He wanted... No wait...he did let you go...If Bo ever found out about that it would be the beginning of many troubles! No, Vincent would never allow that, he loves his brother but you were different, a complete stranger that weren’t scared of him, you were nice! Yes, he needed to keep the secret, even from Lester, he wasn’t cruel like Bo but he wasn’t good on keeping secrets...secrets...A part of Vincent liked that idea....
You were Vincent little secret...

JAMIE SKEET
Lmao so I had sort of unofficially stopped but you know what - I love Jamie so had to draw him and Five 💕
@endless-fluffering I am SO SORRY this took so long! I was trying to force myself to finish some crappy WIPs before I started and that took a lot longer than I expected 😭💕💕
Info below the cut for tidiness!
Season 2
Jamie Skeet meets Five and... isn’t really that impressed by them. 
I mean, they’re a runner. But so are a lot of people. And this runner doesn’t seem at all special at first glance. They’re quiet and sort of small. Quite honestly, they look like they’re the kind of runner who’d either get kidnapped or eaten within a few weeks. 
He doesn’t really speak much to them at first. The only time he really sees them is on runs with Archie, and Archie talks enough to distract most of the attention from them. Still, he gets a better idea of their personality on these runs. He sees their grins, and how they wrinkle their nose with laughter, and its only after the third run together that Jamie’s like “wait - you can’t talk?!” 
Everyone just assumed that he knew but Archie talks about them and their conversations without actually explaining that it’s mostly done via BSL. And Five is always so focussed on runs that BSL is rare during them. 
A lot of what he knows about them is from Archie, and quite honestly he doubts half the stuff she says. Its not that he thinks Archie’s lying. But hearing about how they survived a helicopter crash, then immediately went on to run 5k leaves him doubtful. Hearing about how they (S2M1)  jumped from one skyscraper to another, (S2M4) or survived the Dedlocks, or (S1M7) survived a night outside Abel alone is hard to believe, especially when he sees them trip on their own laces, or catch them waddling along after a line of ducklings, grinning like a little kid. 
He decides this whole ‘Runner Five’ thing is propaganda, keeping the people happy with rumours of some sort of superhero facing off against the apocalypse. 
Spoilers S2M18: Jamie doesn’t really see what Five’s really like until Archie’s in danger. And it’s like whiplash seeing this goofy kid turn into some sort of agent for Abel. When Archie is shot, he’s horrified, but they order him (with sharp, easy to understand jestures) to stay there whilst they go and check if she’s alive. He argues. He threatens them. He even attempts to shove them aside. But they stand firm, and he’s shocked by their strength. Five is ready to fight him if needed, and they’re confident they can take him after all that training with Sara. Finally, he reluctantly agrees to let them go check on the body. 
Spoilers S2M18: Five is sick after emerging from that room, and how quiet they are as they sob is a little unsettling. They’re both picked up and taken home to recover. Jamie spends most of the night in the hospital tent ranting that he would personally kill Van Ark for what he did. He expects Five to talk him down, but the fury in their eyes is a shock. Five nods, insisting they would too. They wouldn’t stop until Van Ark feels the pain Archie did. Once again, Jamie’s unsettled. But he can see they’re serious. It’s seeing that expression on their face that he realises that all the Runner Five rumours are 100% true, and Five is not someone he should get on the wrong side of . 
After that mission, they sort of become closer. Five regularly drops in unexpectedly to help him with the kids. Which he half wishes they didn’t because honestly he has enough children to keep an eye on without Five adding to those numbers. 
He’s surprised to see how good they are with them though. They always seem to know whats wrong, how to defuse a heated situation, how to comfort those who need it. 
Jamie has never been told about the Mildred Vann De Graaf situation so he has no idea why Five brings back so many chicken toys and photos and ornaments. He gets the vague notion it has something to do with Archie though so he appriciates it, always thanking them and earning a big smile in return. 
Jamie and Five run more together, and they’re quite the team. Though, there’s more than one occasion when Jamie’s had to pick Five up, throw them over his shoulder and get them out of danger. There’s more occasions when he finds Five distracted by something fun - toys, movies, games. He usually has to grab them and carry them out of there so they don’t waste so much time. 
Once it happened after finding Five elbow deep in a bucket of glitter they found in an arts and crafts shop. He stil finds glitter everywhere. 
He seriously considers finding one of those child leashes for Five, until Maxine points out why its a bad idea. 
Despite how hot headed and impatient Jamie seems, both of them are super fond of each other. It is mostly down to their combined love of Archie, but they know they can rely on each other, and Jamie hates Five a lot less than a bunch of other people, so he doesn’t mind them hanging around. 
Season 3
Spoilers for S3M7: The moment Jamie is delcared the rightful king of England, Five is delighted for him. They instantly salute him, and his name sign changes from the letter ‘J’ to the sign for ‘king’. He doesn’t mind it much, because he sees their teasing grin whenever they use it. 
When he leaves for london, he’s surprised to find he’s a little disappointed that he won’t be able to hang out with Five anymore. Part of him hopes they’ll follow and work as security for him. But he understands that they’re needed at Abel.

mariah (rainy day dreams)
1. I really appreciated how this comic felt really authentically shonen manga right off the bat without feeling tropey or overwrought. 2. I liked when the protagonists confront the ghost in the theater. I just really enjoyed the ghosts dialogue and dramatic jestures. 3. Moira is my fav so far. She's got a sword and seems capable, though is also still an apprentice so I'm looking forward to seeing how she grows.
boogeymadam
1, ALL THE CATS!! :D but more seriously, the way the characters are introduced through their job, and yet their personalities still shine through~ 2, i liked the scene when they're leaving the Lemaire house and walking on a dark misty neighborhood street at night. It's so atmospheric and perfect for their discussion on what kind of ghost their target might be, as well as what kinda threats it may pose :0 3, I can't decide, they're all interesting. Leera was introduced last but I like her enthusiasm! 2, Moira and Leera during the scene where Moira is explaining tinctures to Leera. Moira's so goal oriented and focused while messing with some apprently-very-dangerous stuff and Leera's just trying to avoid boredom. Moira seemed patient of Leera (for the most part) and willing to explain stuff, which was cool. It made me smile. 5, Oh Man, a lot!! The lines are so very clean and precise, every characters' silhouttes is distinct. It's hard to pick which page is my favorite, but I'd have to say https://deviltonguecomic.com/comic/chapter-01-page-32/ because of all the dynamic angles and expressions on the characters. 6, Pupils taking over from the mentor. I like how Emery is allowing his pupil, Moira, to prove herself, and she seems extremely eager to do so and also: good at it! I can only imagine what Emery is like at this job :0 8, A fun and classic premise of paranormal investigators, of a sort, but with magic of their own, making it even more interesting. It's easy to root for the protagonists and feel curious about what got them into this business, or what they were like before they reached this level of fame and skill. And also, there are talking cats!! Huge draw!
mariah (rainy day dreams)
I agree with your #6 Boogey. I do really like how Emery is like "I'm just here to mentor, this is Moira's job." I like seeing the apprentice really get to take point on the mission. I did see though on the cast page that Emery's magic type is just "?????" which definitely makes me what to see him throw down some magic now XD very curious what it is
boogeymadam
OHHH i hadn't spotted that! a secret, how exciting :0c
copperine (Lady Changeling)
I'm not familiar with this one, but I'm intrigued now (and should stop reading this channel till I've read the comic...)
I'll read in the morning and try to give some thoughts
RebelVampire
What I like about the beginning is the character development. Cause we get a lot of it and find out things like Emery being an ex-magician, his relationship with Moira, etc. Yet, at the same time, the plot is not sacrificed and the story is still moved along smoothly, which is a great balancing act. My favorite moment in the comic so far is actually all the times Emery feigns that he doesn't care but then we get those shots of him peeking and spying. I find those adorable but just also really nice character moments. My favorite character at the moment is Emery. I like aloof characters and he fits that bill. I also like his general cynicism about life. Emery is the sort of character who I'd have as a friend in real life. XD As for characters interacting the most, probably Leera and a combo of Emery and Moira. Leera has pretty different motivations for being there, is somewhat opposite in personality from the main pair, and just all around adds an interesting dynamic too the group that kind of makes certain elements of the story seem more grounded. I really just in general love the comic's linework. Not only is everything super clean (making the action easy to follow), but it really knows how to bulk up the shadows to create specific atmospheres that really work for each panel and add so much to each scene.
In terms of themes, I like that the comic somewhat explores with Emery the concept of what to do with your life after your previous life fails. I think we all kind of like to believe we'll do X forever and X comes to define us in a lot of ways. But then suddenly X might not be there and it's like, what is life now? How do I deal with life? And with Emery, I do think we get to kind of experience one path that kind of takes. What I like about the comic's overall content is the...strange mix of fantasy and realism. I can't really put it into words. Like this is definitely a fantasy story, yet there's elements of realism thrown in I wouldn't expect. Like things are almost scarily normal in some respects like the houses or journalism, etc. So everything about the world really intrigues me since it feels super unique in tone. Finally, for strengths, I'm referring back to the art here. I think the atmosphere the art adds to each scene really helps give the comic that extra oomph.

Everyone's covered all the stuff I like about the characters, so let me just throw in some extra praise for the backgrounds. Those elaborate buildings! That towering opera-house interior! That one sequence with light streaming through elegantly-patterned windows!

Honestly, I get the impression that Emery was good but also just a rebellious rule breaker type. So he probably got exiled for just not fitting in with the club regardless of anything else he might have done. Which to me would explain the cynicism cause it would show him how much of life is just a popularity contest. As for being a magician again, maybe, but the bigger question is would he want to? My current theory for Moira was that she's just ill-suited to the order. I'm sure she's heard awful things about it from Emery, so why join team lame when you can join Emery and be on team winner. As for how Moira will grow, I think she'll just learn to take things a bit more seriously and mature (though probably still pretty happy and excited). I've talked about Leera a bit already, but I think her major role in the story is the grounding element and reader's eyes. Cause someone needs to ask questions for the readers, and I think that will be Leera. But in terms of plot, I also think Leera will just help them get more work by spreading their name to lands far and wide. I think in terms of how Leera will change, I think mostly she'll maybe find better things to publish about and the power she wields with words. I think the kidnapped girl can be saved, but that it needs to be done quickly. As for how this will ultimately resolve, I assume epic battle followed by emotional ghost revelations. As for other sorts of cases, I actually am expecting lots of drama ones with heavy emotional reveals from side characters. I could be wrong, but that feels like the route the comic is going. O_O

1. What did you like about the beginning of the comic? Very good dynamic introduction between Moira and Emery. Very quickly and effectively I understood Emery is an older cynic, and Moira is the energetic and out to prove herself. 2. What has been your favorite moment in the comic (so far)? The magic reveal of what the potions/chemicals do is fun. I do not really understand how they work at this time, and I don’t really need to. 3. Who is your favorite character? Mauretta, she’s a lot of fun in design, and she gets to talk more than usual character type. I’m not sure what this character type would be called, but I’m going with person who starts the Scooby Doo mystery. 4. Which characters do like seeing interact the most? Moira and Emery have good chemistry. Having the young rookie be more powerful than the experienced partners adds to the dynamic. 5. What is something you like about the art? If you have a favorite illustration, please share it!
So much going on in this panel. All 5 characters are doing something. 6. What is a theme you like that the comic explores? I don’t have an answer yet, because how this encounter goes will shape the narrative, everyone could die. It could be resolved peacefully, it could wrap like a monster of the week story, or lead to bigger things. 7. What do you like about the comic’s story or overall related content? I like the map in FAQ area of site is cool. Gives information for those who want it, but can be safely ignored by those that don’t. 8. Overall, what do you think the comic’s strengths are? I like your line art, a lot. The silhouettes read really well. And when working in black and white having distinct shapes is so important, you’ve color code your characters. 9. What do you think Emery did that caused him to be exiled by the Magician Order? How does this factor into his general cynicism and bitterness? Also, do you think Emery will ever be a magician again? I know from the Cast FAQ, he broke their laws, in what contest will tell a lot about Emery and the Order. I am a little unclear what the Magicians are at this points, how powerful they are in this society. Are the Magicians outside of the Magician’s order?
10. How do you think Moira became Emery’s apprentice despite Emery being an ex-magician? Similarly, why do you think Moira hasn’t joined up with the Magician Order? As the story develops, how do you think Moira will grow and change as a magician? I think Moira will have to confront what caused Emery’s cynicism. I expect she will get more powerful as the story begins. 11. Besides following Emery and Moira around, what role do you think Leera will have in the story? How might Leera’s presence hurt or help the duo on each case? Also, how will Leera change as she experiences things firsthand? I Leera’s role will be mainly to ensure the characters get back onto the plot. Most stories have some form of this function, whether it is the Greek gods, a ticking clock to motivate the characters to act right now Given she works for a newspaper, she can prod the characters to do news worthy things. 12. How do you think Moira and Emery will resolve the haunted opera house situation? Can the kidnapped girl be saved, or is she truly gone forever? Additionally, what other sorts of cases do you expect to see after this one? I feel it will have a happy ending, monster defeated girl saved. This is because the character dynamics would change really drastically if Moira had to confront extreme darkness so early, she would get cynical. 13. What are you most looking forward to seeing in regards to the comic? Will be interesting to see how the combat functions with regard to group dynamics, are the other characters going to plan a part in the combat, or are they on the sidelines. 14. Any final words of encouragement for the comic? I was sad when it ended.

I am looking forward to finding out more about Emery and what Emery is capable of despite the circumstances. As for final words, this is just a lovely comic with tons of unique aspects about it that I really like.
