For context I’ve been running a folk/gothic horror D&D campaign based on fairy tales, and the party will have to break into a toy store in the next village they come to as part of a quest from a hag.

The toy shop will be guarded by a one-legged sentient animated armor named Standfast, and when the party first meets them, they will be distracted and looking up at a window of a dressmaker’s shop, where a tailor will be working with a sewing mannequin.

And I can’t decide if I want to do something sweet and romantic or something silly and goofy, so I’m just going to put it to a vote:

Fun fact: The night I saw Grunch, Joey's actual and famously supportive father was sitting in the audience behind me. Which rather added a wild, additional level of humor to Joey's character's big song being the struggles of having an absentee Dad.

Masterlist

Sweet tooth

Vince had always had a passion for cooking, he loved trying new dishes and could create really tasty meals with very few ingredients. Baking on the other hand was a nightmare. No matter how carefully he followed recipies they always came out wrong. He was absolutely determined to get this one right though.

He'd been very secretive all week, he'd wanted it to be a surprise for Michael so he'd been sure to work on it when his tiny roommate was otherwise occupied. The makeshift oven he'd constructed from clay was the hardest to hide but he was sure he'd managed so far. He'd spent every spare moment lately watching youtube videos by other people who cooked and baked tiny items but none of the videos were particularly instructive, they were more asmr type vids. Finally after a lot of trial and error he managed it. Using tealight cases as cake tins and a candle he managed to get two decent looking sponge cakes. Very slowly and carefully he tipped them out onto a plate to cool. He stacked them together with jam and buttercream smearing extra on the top. Then using tweezers with infinite care he added sprinkles in a pattern around the top.

"Michael you around?" Said Vince stepping into the sitting room.

"I'm in here" shouted Michael from the window of his house on the bookcase

"Come here a sec I've got something for you" said Vince as he sat on the floor by the sofa.

Michael paused the video he'd been watching on Vince's old phone and made his way across the floor

"I hope it's worth interrupting my show for" Michael said with a smirk as he approached the giant.

"Would I ever waste your precious time?" Said Vince teasing the little man right back. He brought his hand down to his tiny friend to reveal the cake in the middle of his palm

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Michael "Vince! Did you make that? It's incredible!"

"I did yeah, do you like it?" Asked Vince a bit shy about his humble creation

"Like it? Are you daft I LOVE it! Not many borrowers get to have an entire cake you know!" He lifted the plate from Vince's palm and looked the whole cake over "HA? What's Ha mean?" Looking at the sprinkles on the top

"Well I couldn't fit much on the top so I thought I'd abbreviate it, it stands for Happy Anniversary. It was a year ago today we first met. I wasn't sure if you'd want to mark the day or not because I know it wasn't the best circumstances at the time but I know you have a massive sweet tooth so I thought this would be ok. Is it ok?"

Michael carefully placed the cake on the floor and turned back to his huge friend. He stepped into Vince's hand and hugged his thumb in a tight grip.

"It's more than ok. Thank you, and not just for the cake. I was certain I was gonna die that day and when you opened that box I didn't know if I'd just gone from one hell straight into another. But you've given me a home and a family and space to heal in a way I never thought I could."

Vince lifted his hand to his face and nuzzled his nose into his tiny companion's side.

"I wish I could undo all that hurt you had to go through, I wish I could have found you sooner, or that he'd never found you at all"

"I'm not gonna say I don't wish the same thing sometimes but if he hadn't found me first then I wouldn't have met you either and I'd still be all on my own back in my old house without anyone to spend all day making me an epic anniversary cake"

Vince skilled and pulled back to look Michael in the eye

"You're not gonna try and eat it all yourself are you? You'll be sick!"

"Try and stop me" said Michael with a grin.

First sample/tester of the Rough Day (afcr) Comic!

I absoloutley love the direction it's going, as I'm used to non-digital drawing and am still getting used to it all.

Can't wait to try coloring and testing out shadows/lineart styles ad see which works best for me! Also going to likley keep posting general sketches i doodle and not chapters yet, as right now my main focus is on finishing all of the edits/abridging of all the chapters and converting them to a script (otherwise I could draw alot only to have the plot/something significant hanged and have to heavily edit my art ughh)

I feel more relieved than anything, it took some figuring out because this program has its own comic settings etc.

*The sample is the 2nd page from the pilot/preface (or we'll draft, could always change)/chapter 0.

The WAY SPY ANOTHER DAY DID ONE STEP AHEAD AUGH

I loved it. The acting choices felt fresh and yet still held true to the characters that we know and love. I love that Owen chose to be closer to Curt in some parts as a teasing thing because that petty wanker totally would

Curts little reach out to Owen, while it was short HOLDS SO MUCH MEANING. It shows that he wants Owen, he needs Owen back, but he can't have him. So for only a second he'll cave to that voice in his head that wants Owen back before remembering that this isn't his Owen. Not anymore.

"Feeling a lot of deja vu again" AND THEY DID THE ARM THING AUGH THE THING THAT SYMBOLIZES THEIR TRUST.

GOD JUST KISS ALREADY OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THE AMOUNT OF HOMOEROTIC TENSION IS INSANE
