Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
To serve Shadows House is the pride and joy of every living doll.
So here’s a piece I started much earlier this year, before I watched season two, then picked it back up again after watching it, and now that I’m caught up in the manga wanted to finish up before the year is out! I really enjoyed Shadows House in both formats and am excited to see where it goes. I’m even planning a cosplay from it heh. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes some spooky mysteries, changeling & fae stories, or gorgeously coloured manga art!
This will also be a print in 2023 for the cons I table & shop openings after it debuts there, so keep an eye out!
Context: John saw Emilico fell out of a window so he snuck outside to see more then he saw Kate running by. Then the rest is "Love at first sight" sequence
John is so wholesome and adorable,he can be show-off,annoying,brash,not very attentive,don't listen to others,quirky and noisy but he's a really good guy and he's respectful and he respect others' boundaries including the living dolls too
Also I think he's the "quirky character" trope done right,bc I heard there are some of those quirky characters who are flat out abominations and annoying shits who think they're funny but they're not and also zero likeable traits
John is your best boi,he maybe too overly energetic and noisy but he's a good boi. Plus it's absolutely normal for kids his age to act like him,many people don't seem to like his archetype of characterization and just put him as "Kate's simp",like is he really just that one note? The boi is willing to protect his crush as well as his friends too, I don't think being a simp is the only "worth" of his
Oh how I love those tiny flashback snippets! It is incredibly adorable~
For the whole thing, yes, I agree with you! On the surface, he's usually just seen as 'that one boy who has a massive crush on Kate'. A loud, strong, but air-headed Shadow. Although he may be annoying, he never has ill intention and understands boundary. John is a precious character who never disregards anyone blatantly, nor does he hold grudge against someone for so long.
He is not just 'a simp', he's pretty well-written! John is a great character and a nice example of an energetic young teen (which is, also, kinda cute-sad considering he somehow represents Shaun's inner child).
