Square Dance Hell: Part 3/3

Swear warning

Part 1

Part 2

I've had this script sitting in google docs for months (after posting the initial idea), so it's a relief to take it off my to-do list. It didn't turn out exactly how I expected, but that's art!

Creator notes:

Page 9, where Eddie's on the ground by himself and everyone's walking away, I don't know, drawing that got me really emotional. T-T

Who's throwing french fries???

I just made up that Black Sabbath tee because I didn't want to rip anything off too much. It's kind of cool, maybe?

Eddie ended up looking so ticked off about being interrupted! XD

The final panel was really hard with all the text and the layers and the doodles that had to be arranged. The quote is Tolkien; spoken by Faramir to Eowyn.

So where is Jason? My theory is that he was in the square dance class at first, but the basketball coach freaked out when he twisted his ankle a little on the first day, so he got excused.

Did Eddie give up on that class, or was the cheerleader's siren call too tempting to resist? ;) I like to think he would rather suffer through it than miss the chance.

Songs I listened to waaaaay too many times: Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World, Women Like To Slow Dance by Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, On Your Collarbone by Jordan Klassen, Dreams by Fleetwood Mac.

you guys ever notice how in his dialogue when he's in bertie's presence, jeeves uses quotations and references constantly, but in his THOUGHTS during "bertie changes his mind," he doesn't use any? this is obviously because he doesn't care if we the audience know he knows shakespeare, but he will languish and die if he doesn't get to dazzle bertie with his wit and knowledge every five seconds

#ok actually you know what #this post was supposed to just be a joke #but then i started thinking #the audience jeeves is presumably writing for in bertie changes his mind is new and aspiring valets #members of his own class #to whom he probably feels he has less to prove #but when he's talking to rich people who are liable to look down their noses at him #he needs them to know how smart he is #though he is ALSO a dramatic secret theater kid who's addicted to his crush's attention and admiration #that's very much part of it too #// #jeeves and wooster #jeeves books #bertie changes his mind #carry on jeeves #reginald jeeves #jooster

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture

#who wore it best #and with it i mean their younger co-stars #whom i may or may not have a crush on #genuinely; I’ve thought ‘its giving paul mescal’ about billy harris’ instagram pictures before #james lance #billy harris #andrew scott #paul mescal #ted lasso #all of us strangers #do not for one second think that I didn’t immediately notice the cardigan when I saw that picture of Andrew scott and paul mescal

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂

#welcome to another Mick Airs Out Their Grievances and by god is it a VERY long one #prob best if u don't expand the tags #am I being maybe a bit meaner about this than I would be for any other movie? maybe but pac rim is one of my favorite movies of all time #so I think I get a pass on this one. #one of the groups on campus is hosting movie nights & I went to this one bc I've only ever watched pac rim on my laptop and wanted to watch #it on a larger screen. yay yippee I love this movie! #there r maybe 10-ish of us in this room and a three person friend group is sitting on the couch one of whom has seen the movie and two who #have not. okay so far so normal. #and then the movie starts and they won't! stop! fucking! commentating! the whole fucking movie!!! I don't have a problem with doing that #when I'm in just my friend group because I know that I can tell my friend to stop talking or pause the movie or whatnot but not when I'm in #a large group w people I'm not good friends with ffs #and the comments aren't even funny or anything they're all oh this is JUST like in iron widow!! oh they're SO gay and autistic!!! and #they're talking so loud about this that it completely drowns out the movie audio which has already been turned up a few times #like. be considerate!! some of us want to yknow actually listen to what's going on and not whatever bullshit you're saying #I nearly walked out three or four times before I actually wound up doing so #I may have been a bit of a bitch at the end but I don't care. I got up to leave because this was not an enjoyable environment and one of #them offered to turn the movie down if it was too loud. this caught me a bit off guard since I expected them to still be so wrapped up in #their convo and. well. I may have said 'it's not the movie that's too loud' before closing the door #this also reminds me a lot about my issues with online shipping culture and it bleeding through into how we interact with media irl #this is probably heavily influenced by my aromanticism but I'm so sick of people constantly reading romantic relationships into everything #AND placing more importance on those relationships than any other form. I don't mind romance in media. I think if done right it has great #emotional impact on a story but when a movie is running and when other people who may not want to hear it are in the room watching it too #is not the time to be loudly saying 'he's autistic!' 'they're in love!' 'she has a crush on him!' #I have my own interpretations of the movie some of which agree with what they said and some of which don't but that's beside the point of #knowing how to coexist politely in public #anyway. I think they were awful and annoying and they ruined my night out. #I think I'm just so incredibly mad about this because I love the movie and I was looking forward to watching it in a group of people who #found it cool as well while still having some modicum of politeness #I almost wish I had been meaner but that's the extreme annoyance talking I think #hater hour over love u guys bye

another inspiration board, this time for Lilith! suggested by @dujour13 (thank you for the suggestion!) this was a very fun one, as Lilith is definitely one of my favorite character archetypes!

Yennefer of Vengerberg - The Witcher

"Forget the bottle. Let your chaos explode."

So first of all, I've never played the games (yeah yeah i know). But I love Yennefer in the show, and a lot of her traits she shares with Lilith- her pride, her sharp tongue, her raw power, her refusal to be ignored. The actress's mannerisms especially are a lot like how I imagine Lilith, she's got a kind of stubborn dignity that I really love.

Madeline Usher - The Fall of the House of the Usher

"There's no such thing as a step back. You go forward. And if you hit a brick wall, you don't go back, you go through."

Obviously Madeline wasn't an original inspiration as the show just came out last month, but she and Lilith have *so* much in common. Ambitious and lethal and manipulative and ruthless and absolutely unapologetic about all of it. I gotta stop now or i'll keep rambling about Madeline forever she was so perfect in this show

Athena - Greek Mythology

The goddess of wisdom and warcraft, which are definitely domains that Lilith would respect

Lilith Clawthorne - The Owl House

"Maybe you are stronger than me, but that made me work smarter. I became sharp, crafty!"

Another Lilith! My Lilith is most like Lilith C in her early appearances, when she's still acting as the second in command to the Big Bad. She's found herself on the wrong side of a tyrannical regime, but stays loyal because she has a weird relationship with authority because it serves her own ends. It matches up well with My Lilith's own backstory and complicated loyalties, though My Lilith doesn't get quite the same character development.

Azula - Avatar: The Last Airbender

"Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player."

Speaking of backstory! Those running themes are very present with Azula, and a lot of Lilith's backstory mirrors her- a young prodigy, smart and ruthless even at a young age, with a deep need to prove herself spurred on by the cutthroat environment she was raised in.

Plus, I had to include at least one character with a fire motif!

Miranda Lawson - Mass Effect

"I settle for nothing but the best."

Miranda has a lot in common with other characters here- a drive for perfection, ambition, ruthlessness, a complicated dynamic with the stories villains- but her main reason for being on here is actually her relationship with her sister. She wants to protect her sister, and she obviously loves her...but she tries to do it from a distance, because she doesn't believe she'd actually be a good influence in her life.

Somehow, Lilith ends up with similar people in her life- Sirin in Tyranny, and Ember in Pathfinder. She has no idea how to care about people in a genuine way, but she does want to protect them, and maybe even give them a better life than she had.

(their main difference is that in Miranda's place, Lilith would have killed TIM and take over as head of Cerberus. sorry, universe!)

#i might be exposing myself here but of course lilith is inspired by women who vary from morally questionable to full evil #most of whom i've had a crush on at some point #ch: lilith #character inspiration

I wish I could go back and tell younger me that I would in fact find that place one day full of people that I adore deeply and who I know love me in return. Who make me feel wanted and cared for and appreciated in a way I never thought would be possible. And none of it required hiding, or forcing myself to be a person I’m not. And I still have that space even though I’m aroace.

For the first time ever, I see a future where I’m not alone. And I wish I could go back and tell my younger self it would happen. It’s possible to not be constantly lonely.

#ravenpuff rambles #I’ve been lucky enough in my life to make amazing friends several times #several of whom are still in my life now #but it’s only been recently that I’ve felt like I truly found my place #I don’t know how to explain it #I guess up until now I have always gone into friendships expecting them to end and holding back just a little bit #and this is the first time I don’t feel like I have to run because I don’t feel like these people are going to leave me #maybe it’s just because one of them is also aroace and we’ve talked a lot about those similar feelings of being left behind #never had someone quite get that before #and maybe it’s just I feel more willing to open my heart #admittedly this group of ours went through some shit together and that’s how the friendships really started forming #and so maybe that helps #but it’s like #Have you ever met someone who is so much like you in so many ways that its like the joke of ‘ #‘can I copy your homework?’ ‘yeah just be sure to change it so no one knows’ #It’s a weird thing of feeling so completely and totally seen by somebody sometimes without having to say a word #anyways #I’m really happy with this little place I found and I wish I could tell younger me #and also tell xem that no it doesn’t look like a fanfic dream #no im not their person but yeah they’re kind of mine but that’s okay #its nothing and everything like I always thought of #and for the first time in my life I don’t feel a crush sense of loneliness #yes I wish I could see them in person #but I can be okay with everything I do get

There's this situation where I am trying to figure out what a certain person means regarding a certain social situation but the only 2 people who could help me understand it better without asking said person directly are Insane and will think that me asking them about it means I have a crush on that someone (I do not) and I am asking to test the waters but I am not😭 I'm just a curious bitch

#also i do think i know who out of the gang has a crush on someone else from the gang. and i am neither #(i think this person whom im curious about has a crush on someone else from the group. #problem is? that'd be a same-sex crush. and the person i suspect of experiencing said crush already has struggles re figuring out sexuality #not in a homophobic way but in a 'i am not sure what i am' way. #the object of said suspected crush though is bi. so like. if i figure things out correctly i might actually be able to help. #לאה השדכנית #gosh i really went from an existential war/fascism related crisis to petty drama like this. #but i need to knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww #who out of the 5 of the people that person wants to communicate with more. #yes im a curious bitch leave me alone

so uh not to be an oblivious queer idiot but if the girl you've been jokingly flirting with for yeeears invites you to dinner at her place, only a couple weeks after telling you she definitely wants to have sex with you but is terrified of it because she's never touched a vagina that wasn't her own, is that a date or just a friendly gesture?

asking for myself please help

#queer #bisexuality #bisexual #what do? #mentally i mean #i'm obviously going #but it'd be nice to know what to expect #she's a good friend about to also become a business partner #who left her boyfriend (who was very nice) months ago and is just coming out of a crush on a stupid stupid dude whom she now hates #so idk really

[kindaorangey]

truly cannot explain the connection i have to the 1975's music. yes some of it is nostalgia but i genuinely do not have any other artist that has interested and confused and irritated and saddened and endeared me so much all at the same time and i do mean that about the music itself rather than about the band members. i've spent so much of my life listening to them and they cover so much ground while also having so much terrible samey shit that i wind up loving anyway. i'm so done with matty healy but i will not be able to let go of this music without giving it a proper sendoff, y'know.

#thunder rambles #n its not even the thing people have with like mcr or tøp where the music gave me something to hold onto through a rough time #ive just loved it in so many different ways and for reasons that have changed over the years like. #i know i sound like i drank the kool aid. im working on it #edit: i have some more soppy sincere things to say about why i love their music so much #it's for the same reason i don't think i'll ever love someone exactly the way i loved the friend i had in year 8 #to love someone just because they're there at a point of naievete in your life #i got into the 1975 because my toxic best friend whom i had a crush on said i had to like them #and also because their first two albums are sooooo geared towards 14 y/os in terms of sound #but then abiior came out. and i didnt like the singles. and then i came back to it and i fell in love with it. #it's just so weird to simultaneously love something for nostalgic reasons and from just appreciating good art #like its all shitty nostalgia bait. but it's also genius in its conception. but also not all the concepts work in execution. but also the #raw unpolished shittiness of those things are compelling in their own way. #basically basically. i cant get over the way their music grew up with me. and also im a sucker for any art that has something to say #about the digital age #i sort of love their music like i love my siblings lol. like i have always loved my siblings even when my relationship to them is miserable. #i grew up and around you i cant exactly extract you from who i am

Square Dance Hell: Part 1/3

Part 2

And so it begins.

My other HellCheer comic was more from Chrissy's POV. This one is more from Eddie's. If you imagine the two comics as part of the same AU (up to you), Square Dance Hell comes before what I've nicknamed The Bouquet in the timeline. Oh goodness, looking back that one is so much cleaner than this T-T.

Bette Davis Eyes is the song I personally imagine for "the look", which is why I put it in, but I do realize it might not be the song a young metalhead would (admit to) hear in their head. I have a pseudo-playlist that I've been drawing this to. I can write it up in one of the next parts if that's something anyone's interested in.

If anything about the school environment seems off, well, I was homeschooled until I started attending community college courses in my mid/late-teens. So yeah, I have no first-hand high school experiences, lol.

#my art #fan comic #square dance hell #hellcheer #eddissy #eddie x chrissy #chrissy x eddie #munningham #who's crushing on whom? #you decide #the art is messy #but it tells the story well enough #and that's what matters #I'll keep telling myself that #angry freckled girl and the teacher were fun to draw #I got the COVID btw #we'll see how that effects my drawing speed #positively or negatively #a part a week is the hope #part 2 will consist of pages 4-7 #of 12

suddenly recovered memories of that time in college when I read a bunch of Carol Berg in a short time and came away with the conclusion, "good worldbuilding is a magic system plus a justice system that both require your protagonist get WHUMPED TO HELL"

#legit started writing a story where the protagonist had Accidentally Unleashed Some Magic that resulted in multiple deaths right #but she was the only one who could put the thing back in the bottle so she was paroled. to stop the thing #but subjected to a curse whereby her parole officer could simply Choke Her Into Unconsciousness The Second She Did Anything Suspicious #also her parole officer was her ex-mentor whom she'd had an inappropriate crush on at the time!! #I wrote like 20k words of her being. consumed with guilt. hung over. universally despised. blacking out all the time. #trying to sacrifice whatever part of herself The Horrorterrors would find acceptable. failing that. necromancy #so much so that I forgot to write a plot. it was just 'look at this sweaty wreck of a sadgirl. I'm poking her with sticks' #anyway let this post serve as a recommendation for Carol Berg although for the record her whumpees are almost always dudes

[sunkern-plus]

you know bi erasure isn't just erasing a bi woman's attraction to men right

you know it can also be "insisting a bi woman is only attracted to this one man when her most meaningful relationship can be with either a universally agreed upon nonbinary person or a woman" right

#this is about capcom's official twitter erasing marisa's very wlw coded feelings for manon and her very wln coded feelings for the player #to make her all about having a crush on zangief #i mean. yeah. she prefers bigger bodies in general. that's the same with me. but it doesn't erase #who she has the most meaningful relationships with. one of whom by your CHOICE can be fat muscular or both #street fighter #marisa rossetti #biphobia for ts

[paintalyx]

planning a relationship between two ttrpg characters will have you discovering tropes you never would have considered going insane over. every addition is a galaxy brain moment

#my stuff #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpg relationships (platonic romantic and whatever the hell else) are something that can be so special and personal so specifically to me #currently going insane over childhood friends to nothing to enemies to coworkers to lovers arc #you don't get it they simply drifted apart over time and it was nothing big or great or grandiose #and by the time they meet again as adults ten years have passed and they changed so much that one doesn't even recognise the other #and they are borderline standing on the opposite sides of law good god #prior to that it was an accident-prone engineer and the pharmacist he has the most pathetic kind of a crush on #and his bestie/worstie who is a fellow mad scientist with a lack of concern for ethics (they are actively making each other worse) #also there's an ambitious extroverted seamstress and her shy botanist bestie whom she adores to the point of being smothering #you need to be worthy of her bestie and if you're not she's gonna make you better whether you like it or not

[talesofunlikelysapphicpairings]

I admire my crush's dedication to her craft. Like, yes, please. Give us what you want. I don't care what it is— I'm sure it's beautiful. My life has literally been in flames lately and I feel like I'm at war with everyone and everything around me. But every time I am reminded of her I do a little dance and a little giggle.

(Also, I don't need her to be here to feel her, you know. I see Warrior Nun, I'm reminded of her. I see my journal, I'm reminded of her. I see the bulk of romantic letters that I wrote for her, I'm reminded of her.)

I like the idea of the potential right now, of the fantasy. It is what keeps me from going insane (or maybe I already am) so let me have it. 😋

There's beauty in falling in love with the possibility. Tragedy, too, but I'm focusing on what makes me feel good right now. Dante Alighieri did it; so, will I.

#I have this idea for an album called 'ever romantic' and I have completed five songs for it #it's just me be hopeless romantic of course #and it's not like I am going to release anytime soon but let me thank my crush because she's the reason I finished most of the songs #I also need to get back on writing but like I said I have been going through it #I also need to sleep but I am trying to achieve the impossible here because of my college course #do not take political science :))) #just some crush thoughts because you know me #I still will not tell who it was #I can persuaded by her #just kidding #I don't know how to talk to her sooooo #bye now #lol I'm not a teenager anymore and my cousins have been telling me to get a gf or something #Please I haven't even kissed a girl yet how tf do I talk to one long enough to have a gf #I have social anxiety and I am super shy in person #HAHAHAHAHAHA don't believe that I am really chatty to people whom I am not attracted to #I am foot in mouth when it comes to someone I am infatuated with #okay srsly bye now
