[chapter 408] extended cut - sewer chase scene

[dravidious]

I'm finally playing the original Fossil Fighters and in the first 10 minutes of the game an npc crashes into your character and knocks you over. However, this game was apparently made on a budget of about $15, and 14 of that went into the dinosaurs, so there's no animation for your character falling over. Instead, they just took the model, spun it around once, and then had it tilt 90 degrees to the side. And when your character gets up, the model just tilts back up. Not once did it change from the default standing pose. This is the greatest game ever made.

I have successfully tricked an animal with a brain the size of a walnut into sleeping in the new bed I got for her by lining it with an unwashed pajama shirt so that she thinks it's Forbidden Laundry.

[astermath]

if you had a signature weapon, ANY weapon, what would it be?

mine would either be an axe or a morningstar for SURE (and i’m not just saying that bc I have both of those tattooed smh)

I hope to be able to communicate. An emotional vibe

[Mirage 28, Story: Stephen Murphy, Pencils, Inks and Letters: Jim Lawson (as far as i can tell and so says the wiki). 1 page each by Eastman and Rich Veitch, not included]

[The style for this issue has a softer painterly look to the duoshade. All panels are horizontal across the width of the page.]

[ID from alt: Two panels, Leo leaning over to look at Raph, who's in profile and glaring slightly downwards. He asks "Care to talk about it?". Close on Raph's face, still not looking at Leo, he says "No." END ID]

ID from alt: 3 Panels. Casey leans over, gripping bridge trusses on either side of himself, asks "Hey bro', What's going down?" Raph's feet dangling over the edge of the bridge, its shadow cast on the water below. Raph says "The River... I suppose..." Close on Casey as he looks down skeptically "Um, Yeah. -- Hey, talk to me Raph. Really talk to me."

ID from alt: Three panels. Raph in profile, gazes down somberly, he says "Can't. You wouldn't understand. You're... You're human. You can't possible understand. Wide to all three of them, Casey has shuffled closer, one hand still on the truss. He says "Say what? I'm what? You can kiss off, Pal." Leo on the other side leans back a bit. "The what about me Raph? Why won't you tell me?". Close on Raph, annoyed now. "You're crowding me Leo, you're both crowding me. -- Don't crowd me." END

^gets sick every time i look at this one (HIGHEST OF COMPLIMENT)

ID from alt: Two panels. Close on April's hand. Holding a small turtle in its shell. Caption box "No... not this time, baby." Raph in the foreground, still upset. April and the other turtles sit along the bridge, all apart from Raph. April still holding the turtle, looks over to him. Caption box "When the hell will he simply accept all that's happened to him?" END

Second caption box references April's line in the 3 issue Raph got de-mutated arc. Which he spent the most time being looked after by her.

ID from alt: Two panels. Raph sitting with his back to his brothers, looking down and upset again. Wider shot shows everyone on a raft, the other turtles sitting and Casey pushing raft along at one end, Raph facing the rear, tense, observing the water. April sits between them, not facing either direction, observing Raph. END

ID from alt: Two panels, nighttime. The group sits around a camp fire, Casey standing to tell a story "-Like so much red white and blue Alpo. See, man, there was this..." Raph stands facing into the dark. Caption box: Raphael stood apart from the rest of us..." Wide of the landscape, moon reflecting on water, surrounded by trees and distant mountains. Caption box: "... And stared intently across the moonlit water." END

ID from alt: April and Raph trying to move an unconscious being, mostly humanoid with amphibious features, their three bodies lit against complete blackness. Raph holds her under the shoulders and says "You take her feet, I'll get her head." April kneels to hold her ankles and says "Thanks, Raph." END

ID from alt: Intricately detailed depiction of one of the aquatic beings while still in the egg, curled with its still developing limbs and large eyes. Caption boxes: I am conceived anew -- And as I grow -- I watch my people wither. END

ID from alt: Wide scene lit by the camp fire. April kneels with the beings head in her lap. Four more of the species approach her and the body. Casey stands back closer to the fire, and the turtles, even further back, towards the shore line. Caption box: They've lost her. END

ID from alt: 1. Two panels. Caption box: ... The only four of their species.... The turtles stand in line, Don, Mike, Leo and Raph, looking over the water, and the four remaining beings heads sink below the water. Caption box. "... just like-" The beings completely unseen now. Raph turns his head, looks behind them.

2. Two panels. Dramatic close up on Raph, looking back. The hint of pupil in the normally white eyes adds to the expressions intensity. Close on April meeting his gaze. Eyes wide with shock. She says a quite "-Omigod". END

ah. i was just gonna tag rant about this its getting way too long. oop

As i said earlier. this was ANOTHER ISSUE that was adapted into 03 during the Leo angst era. so they swapped Raph for Leo.

(NOT MAD ABT IT. i could go on a very long talk abt raph leo interchangeability and every time they've done that in adaptation, and why so many of the raph leo conflicts are about them being so so similar.

and how they are the person the other gets/gets them. and loss of that understanding due to separation or injury causes the blow ups.)

ANYWAY

03 didnt have the events that happened to raph that are referenced here anyway. those being. Raph almost being killed in a drive to solo kill the shredder (which... Leo Does btw) but more importantly admitting to Leo that he feels he has no control, that he cant think through his emotions.

And, again as mentioned, the de-mutation. It took him from weakened, to childlike, too deteriorating illness, until he's a particularly emotive large turtle, and then even less so to a normal smaller and smaller one. And this was caused by a very powerful being that thought he'd be happier that way, after feeling all the guys bask in the water, and be in awe of real baby turtles.

So these are the things he can't talk to Leo or Casey about. And this comic issue is one thats in the mode of "something written by april" like journal entries. And it wouldnt be clear cause i removed the CONTEXT lol. but that is her seeing a vision, from this dying being, of her [the being's] life and history, and its like. not pretty! not good things happening to the extincting amphibious humanoids.

So the lack of control, emotional and LITERAL, over his fate, his body, his being his mind? The things he cant tell his human best friend or his leader and brother. She goes through something impossible, she has no control, she fails at saving this being. And she sees it. And they see each other. And their is not a fix it at the end of that. She doesn't tell anyone else why she gets spooked. Everyone is just standing around each other in the moment, where its all not okay.

Splat3 story spoilers

I finished the story a while ago but it’s really only just now sinking in the implications of killing(???) Grizz and I have. A lot of questions.

Number one being; Who’s paying us?? Not just like. Now, but in Splatoon 2 as well?? We get paid now only straight money but all sorts of chunks and food tickets and Clothing??

And if Grizz wasn’t selling the Golden Eggs to the Government or whatever to power Inkopolis or whatever then where is this BEAR getting Inkling money?? Specifically INKLING MONEY so it’s not just shit left by the humans in Alterna that is Direct Spendable Cash in Inkling Society based Cities.

And why do we. Continue to get paid??? I can understand a Bear that plans to destroy the world at the end of all this throwing investment into a money hole like Grizzco that cannot possibly be turning a profit, but he’s supposedly dead or just in space. So who??? Is paying me??? To get these Golden Eggs??

Which brings up Question Two; What the Golden Eggs for now?? Where do they go?? Who do we turn them over to?? The Tutorial Fish behind the counter??? What does SHE do with them?? If no one knew who Grizz was and his radio was just prerecorded instructions (considering it still talks post story mode) then does anyone know he’s dead??? Does business of (I assume??) chucking golden eggs into the crater to Grizz’s secret Alterna lab continue??

Question Three; Who’s driving the Boat/Helicopter?? How do we get to these Salmon spawning locations in either game?? Because Splat 3 I could see it MAYBE being the Tutorial fish behind the counter we never see, but Splat 2 Grizzco was JUST Wooden Bear Radio in a building. If we never saw Grizz till Story Mod of Splat 3 Who Was Driving The Boat??

Question Four; Is. Is this the last Splatoon game with Salmon Run in it?? I know the game is a week old and it’s weird to immediately be thinking about the next game in the series but like. Seriously is that it???

Like I said, Grizzco is a money hole. Grizz wasn’t selling Golden Eggs, they didn’t actually power the city or boost technology or anything like that, they went directly into making as much fuzzy Ooze as he could, considering they were a vital ingredient I couldn’t see him parting with a single egg.

So like. If Grizz, who was willing to invest in said money hole with the goal of eventually ending the world so what’s it matter, is dead. Who would run Salmon Run? Back to question one, who would pay us?

Like game wise of COURSE Salmon Run is still running in Splat 3 there will always be new players to experience the story mode and they have to know who Grizz is first before getting to the plot twist but like. In Splat 4 I can’t image that really?? Matters much?? anymore???  So like. That’s it, yeah?? No more Salmon Run post Splat 3 (which is a long way away of course)
