General
Head cannon that the Pale King changes the way his cloths look. Some days he feels like being minimal, others like being fancy. Then there are some days where he rolls out of bed but doesn’t want to unwrap from the blanket, thus his getup in chapter 1 and 2.
There are parts of this chapter that I’m really proud of. The entire spring scene really, but I’m especially fond of the tilted shot on page 18. And the water turned out great too.
I’ve been fighting myself to not create a whole new language for the void speak so people could just look at the pictures and deduce what is being said, but I’m quickly realizing that isn’t going to be possible. All this brought on by trying to show the difference between ‘don’t’ and ‘can’t’. Nail in the coffin brought to you by the ‘if-then’ statement on the final page. I’ll be working on that for a bit and it will likely be getting updated as the comic progresses. So anything I post about it will probably get regular updates.
Thanks again to @fadedflame for proof reading the comic. Go check out their blog for some amazing Detroit Become Human fan fictions.

listen, i absolutely get ramon not wanting to talk to sunny & feeling hurt/betrayed by her helping tubbo
like, i'd hazard he might even feel more betrayed by them than tubbo himself—bc sunny & ramon probably talked about what family meant to him (during their sleepovers or something) and ramon has no insight into why they'd do that whereas tubbo, for all his actions have hurt ramon, very clearly has the emotional capacity of a wet paper plate and issues running deeper than marianas trench
but that makes it all the more heart wrenching that he won't hear her out (and you can see in the backgrounds of vods her multiple attempts over several days to get his attention just to be rebuffed) bc i bet if she could explain herself even a little things could be so different
it reminds of the situation from the other week where sunny wasn't talking with em and tubbo tried to explain that, even if you're mad at them, suddenly stopping talking to someone you love could make them feel awful and worse than you intended
and that is what's happening to sunny. it's miserable to see bc she was already so isolated and ramon, as her big brother, is someone she put a lot of trust in to be there for her and listen to her and it must feel to her like that was an empty promise to have him not even hearing her out.
and it's particularly tragic bc sunny didn't even want to mess with fit and pac. yes, she was "tempted" to aid tubbo in his quest, but I really don't think it was bc she was actually worried about being left behind when she agreed. i think she could tell tubbo was scared and hurting and not ready to accept the change and didn't want him to be alone. she didn't really have another option and every adult can see that but ramon is young and blinded by his hurt
and now sunny is left feeling abandoned and forgotten and replaced and it's exactly what their pa said would happen; self fulfilling prophecy :(

Please consider
Vessels can't speak but they can make a limited amount of noises
Purrs, trills, huffs, sighs, clicks, rumbles, etc
Hollow letting out little huffs and whines unintentionally when they're overly stressed or hurting
Little rumbles and near-silent purrs or an audible sigh when touched lovingly or held comfortingly
Clicks and trills when they're finally comfortable enough to express curiosity or to get someone's attention or to greet them
Actual growls if someone threatens their loved ones and makes their incredibly long fuse of a patience snap

do you remember playing hollow knight for the first time and you dont know anything you're just vibing. and it's been some hours and many many deaths until you reach the city of tears. and that music kicks in. and then you see The Hollow Knight memorial and you're like WAIT *I* AM NOT THE HOLLOW KNIGHT??? who the fuck is this guy then?????? and well. it's all downhill from here because you just learned about The Most Character of all time and they are literally just a bug with no dialogue lines or anything. so.
