If Phoenix were to ask the Agency about Phantom's background:

[lynethpearce]

azami: violence is not the way- ayumu: gaslight is okay.

some FABULOUS doodles

[lynethpearce]

This is a highly plausible scenario. And if we compare it with reality, he takes it cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Gibson knows martial arts and has a FUCKING KNIFE hidden in the sole of his shoe.

Agent Phoenix and John Juniper: *fighting*

Agent Phoenix: YOU KIDNAPPED ME!

John Juniper: and? Getting kidnapped is nothing.

Agent Phoenix: oh really?! Let's see if you like it then!

John Juniper: oh I've been kidnapped before! I'm a public figure with millions of adoring fans! They can't all be sane. So what? You wake up gagged with your hands and feet tied together in the back of a car you don't know. It's whatever.

Agent Phoenix: John, pause. ... What?

John Juniper: it's fine.

Agent Phoenix: IT'S NOT FINE! THAT'S TRAUMATIC!

And now Phoenix knows why John was remarkably nice to them when he kidnapped them.

You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.

Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.

John Juniper: I tried to kill you and you tried to kill me. Reginald Crane: Agent, why did you try to kill him? Agent Phoenix: I DIDN'T. HE BROUGHT IT ON HIMSELF.

A redraw of a work I did a few months ago! This version is much closer to my original vision, and also actually mentions the other work this is meant to pair up with, that being "Operation: Bar Hop"... although I haven't exactly finished writing it. Hopefully I get it done sooner rather than later!

(P.S. to those in my ask's requesting a Juniper animation I promise I haven't forgotten about you all! I just have a bit of a problem with restarting animations over and over again, but I swear it's coming down the pipeline!)

[lynethpearce]

I'm dying right now. Reginald: ... Again? Juniper: AGAIN!

Reginald: My goodness, John, you look rather down. What's the matter?

Juniper: I've been subtly trying to ask... something... of Phoenix, but he isn't getting the hint. It's frustrating.

Reginald: Ah, yes. That's a common issue with Phoenix. Engineer's mindset and all that. I expect you simply need to be more direct with him.

Juniper: ...

<some time later, walking along the river after dinner and drinks...>

Juniper: Agent Phoenix, tell me truthfully. Are you gay?

Phoenix: I sure am!

Juniper: ( ˶°ㅁ°)!! OMG RLY

Phoenix: I mean, aren't you? Weather's perfect, dinner was great... I'm having a gay 'ol time. (･ิu･ิ)

Juniper: (°ー°〃) ...what?

Phoenix: Yessir. Never felt gayer! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Juniper: 눈_눈 Oh for fucks's sake...

Underlords be like:

[lynethpearce]

Me, talking about any of my characters: They have so much depth, their mind is so complex with so many layers, each more unique than the other.

Me, talking about that same characters:

[lynethpearce]

Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!

Who is the story about? First two words, next question.

Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.

Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.

Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.

Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!

The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches

Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones

I LOVE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH I'M JUST STUPID AND FORGET THAT FEELINGS NEED TO BE EXPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE FELT

[lynethpearce]

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

[lynethpearce]

Everyone knows that those two would get together just to ruin Fabricador's day.

The Fabricator: Enough! We have the briefcase. Kill the spy.

John Juniper: HAH!

The Fabricator: And the lousy actor too!

John Juniper: Wait, what?

Agent Phoenix: HAH!

[lynethpearce]

John Juniper: (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)

Gibson: No, John, I won't tell you you're a good boss. You literally almost killed me TWICE.

John Juniper: (⁠´⁠;⁠︵⁠;⁠`⁠)

[lynethpearce]

After Yacht Incident:

Gibson, the only person to receive a sincere apology from Juniper.

[lynethpearce]

The Fabricator: Enough! We have the briefcase. Kill the spy.

John Juniper: HAH!

The Fabricator: And the lousy actor too!

John Juniper: Wait, what?

Agent Phoenix: HAH!
