I know there's a lot of people out there that think Dark and Light should have a romantic relationship, but, hear me out...

Twin siblings. Make 'em twin brothers. Yin and yang, what have you, but they're basically total opposites in some very key ways. One example, Dark is easily flustered and takes things to heart a lot. Light is more unflappable and clearly settled into his own skin. Makes arguments the most frustrating things ever for Dark given that he'll be all ready to bleed off the resentment he has from being thought of as 'the bad one' and Light just, doesn't match his energy. Doesn't get mad. Absolutely sees the projection for what it is, and Dark is just no no no no I wanna be pissed off at something LET ME BE PISSED OFF!

And meanwhile Light's like sure, man, you can be pissed, but not at me because my existence isn't what's wrong here. We both know you're not mad because of ME specifically.

And Dark gets huffy because he's not gonna be able to correct all instances of nyctophobia on planet Earth. Though Light lets him rant a bit anyway because, hey, better than the guy stewing in private.

But yeah, sibling snarkiness and in-jokes. Silliness. 'Oh remember that time when you-' quickly followed by 'WE SAID WE WERE NEVER SPEAKING OF THIS AGAIN AND HERE YOU ARE SPEAKING OF IT'. Occasional moments of Twins being Twins.

Also moments like:

Some Random Entity: So, who's older?

Dark: We're twins, it doesn't matter.

Light: Me.

Dark: BY ONE SECOND---Also, yeah, doesn't matter. Still twins.

Light: [picture of nonchalant innocence here]

"Out of the way BOZOS!!! Your local friendly Nameless Jester has finally arrived!"

A loud entrance fitting for a loud fellow... Be still, for there is a strange individual.

The spaces of Diasomnia, although eerie, can be quite welcoming to its visitors. However, this doesn't come across easily due to its dark, uninviting atmosphere. Thus, it's necessary for the presence of comic relief to lighten it all up.

All it takes is one obnoxious fool.

🚨🦐They are a set. Do not separate.🦐🚨

(🔊sound on)

Hailing from the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea, the cleaner shrimp has a very important role in the coral reef community. Also known as the scarlet skunk cleaner, this crustacean sensation uses its bright coloration to advertise its services to large fish. 

The shrimp sets up shop on the reef at a “cleaning station” where other shrimp and fish cleaners gather.  When a “client” fish arrives, the tiny shrimp can slide in and out of gill slits, inside the mouth, and roam all about the fish’s body, removing dead skin and parasites. 

This cleaning arrangement is symbiotic—the shrimp gets to pick tasty treats off the fish, and the fish gets groomed. Shrimp come in handy when you don’t have hands 🤷

"I decided it's my break day today, Oh coincidentally, I'm gonna sit here, and watch you work." also it's too cute how Nemo just came run at me whenever i sat on a bench

Since the new twst event takes place in a storybook, I assume twst will add more storybook events with other characters. The question is: what will the next story be about?

So @lxgentlefolkcomic, which everyone should go read, especially if they like Dracula Daily, has inspired me to deviate from my priority TBR (that I never stick to anyway) and read all the works it's inspired by. When I started reading the comic, I already had Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Complete Sherlock Holmes under my belt.

I really enjoyed all the subtle references and details to those works in the comic, so in order to get the same experience with the other characters I wasn't familiar with, I decided to read The Invisible Man, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and I just reserved The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. For good measure, since it was right next to it on the shelf, I also checked out The Island of Doctor Moreau, so that when I get around to The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia I'll have the full context from the original text.

My recommendation for anyone who's trying to go back and read these older stories is to do what many people commented about when reading Dracula Daily: imagine yourself in a world where no one has ever heard of Jekyll and Hyde or an invisible man. It's impossible to completely remove that cultural context ingrained in us of course, but you'll get much more out of the story if you at least imagine the perspective of an original reader for a moment.

For instance, I'm a little over half way through 20,000 Leagues right now, and so much of this book is just long lists of various species of fish and seaweed that Aronnax is seeing out the window, which is rather boring by modern standards, but if you put yourself in the mind of a victorian reader who doesn't have google images and for whom the idea of an electric powered submarine is a far-flung future idea, it makes a lot more sense. The book is an adventure story; so little seems to happen other than "then they sailed to this place and saw this fish" because for the readers of the time, that was fantasy enough.

And that's not to say that there aren't other moments that transcend the time in which they were written, that show why these stories have stayed classics for so long. The Invisible Man wasn't my favorite victorian book ever (I'll be curious to see how Dr. Moreau stacks up against it), but it had some genuinely beautiful/touching/chilling moments in its prose, especially in the last 25%.

There's a moment where a man is caught in an impossible position, and he looks out over the view of his village on the seaside, sees the ocean and the cliffs and the hills, and to paraphrase, the book says "and he suddenly realized that life was very sweet" right before he makes a last desperate move which will likely result in his death. It was genuinely poignant! And the epilogue was fantastic.

So all that to say, don't let how old these stories are put you off, give them a read if you're interested, and don't be afraid to use spark notes or other guides to help you understand if you're a bit confused! The editions I'm reading have footnotes in them as well, and those are also really helpful.

I finished recording all of Nemo's samples today and found out yesterday was bad comics day or something so I made this to cover both events.

My girlfriend has inspired the worst idea ever. Dead Plate mermaid au that's also kinda accidentally Finding Nemo coded.

Vince is a barracuda. Rody is a clown fish. Manon... could either go clownfish to be funny or something else we'll see.

Put two and two together and well... Manon is Coral

Nemo and Silvester are finally reunited and I'm gonna kill myself /pos

[trekkele]

once again i am begging everyone to reconsider ‘the batkids hate/mock/generally disagree with bruce adopting more kids’ trope for the far, far superior and far more hilarious option of the batkids not realizing that ‘average single dad adopts 0 kids per year. Bruce Wayne, who’s children keep dragging home their sad and in-need-of-dad friends, is an outlier and should not be counted’

fml while I was doodling I just imagined Aranea and Halsin meeting again in 1370s, while the Druids from the Emerald Grove and the Harpers are storming Moorrise Towers to defeat Ketheric Thorme, but they are kinda on the opposite side of the conflict (Aranea is doing business on Mephistophele's name -aka reaping souls among Ketheric's forces because I HC that in my story Ketheric went to knock on Mephisto's door as well).

And they see each other.

But while Halsin is basically in a storm of contradicting feelings ("Is it her? Is it truly her? what is she doing here? why is she talking with those Dark Justiciar? Silvanus guides me, what do I tell Asra now?), Aranea hasn't the faintest idea about who he is and why he is staring at her like that.

She is all "Why is this bear of an elf staring at me all weird? Better be ready, I might have to kill him,".

Like, she hasn't the faintest idea of who he is.

And there is a reason for that.

A VERY MUCH VALID REASON.

GAH, ALL THE ANGST.

WHY, BRAIN.

WHY.

How do you draw Ashley so well? He's invisible and just a bandage, yet I can really imagine where he is.

I sketch him out in full in every panel so I can keep track of where he is, only erasing him after everything in the panel is completed, like so:

(not actual panel art)

Telegraphing his actions with only a few visible reference points is tricky; I have to plan ahead some to make sure there's enough stuff in the scene for him to interact with. I will be so glad when we get to a point where he's wearing actual clothes.
