#this is a dumb process LOL like. i shouldnt hate working on your stuff so much that it actively inhibits my ability to do my job

I've put over 20 hours into this one project at work and the client is so annoying to work with, they're inconsistent and not very understanding of what we actually do, and they act nice but are actually insufferable, and they just sent an email asking about a separate project, which I was supposed to work on but never got any information on from my team, so sucks to suck, I'm not doing it, not right now at least, and god I just want to be done with them

Aw, that Sprx + Antauri comic was great! Whether or not you agree w/Sprx or Antauri or both it's just heartbreaking how little time anyone could process what happened in the S2 finale. They just kept having to move on and even when they did have time it probably felt too awkward to bring it up if Antauri wasn't going to. I wish Sprx had said something like this in canon because it feels so IC for how he much he feels for his team. I felt so bad for both of them (hopefully Ant gets his say too).

HI IVE BEEN AT CAMP ALL DAY SO IM ONLY JUST ABLE TO ANSWER THIS!!!

okay uh. this is. a lot longer than i intended it to be but the cut isnt working atm so..... sorry jfmskfkd

RHANK YOU SO MUCUUCH any of my friends can tell u i have a LOT of feelings on sparx/antauri.. like like it or not sparx has a LOT of understandimg/intuition when it comes to his friends, his problem is just that hes never able to confront ppl about things civilly, w sparx its always accusations and anger and stuff. HE HAS A BIG HEART!!!

im rly happy to be exploring his dynamic w the team in my art/writing bc (like i said in the notes of my awesome fic that u should definitely read) his relationships with anyone besides nova is Never talked about in depth!! i feel like if srmthfg was more modern or even got a fmab-style redo it would probably have a lot more room to explore their various relationships and stuff...... but alas. early 2000s plot stuff.

also, a LOT of ppl seem to be wanting like... a sequel comic where they talk and resolve things and im not gonna lie it started as a self-indulgent doodle at midnight that i planned on not showing anyone, so i really cant promise a follow-up with antauris pov....... id LOVE to do it but honestly im not sure how i would go about it without it feeling forced or something. i ADORE antauri but like u said, unless he initiates it a lot of the team is just... unwilling to confront him about things and antauri isnt exactly great at explaining his thoughts lol.

as the sort of resident Big Brother of the team he has SO MUCH faith in the hyperforce to be able to handle things on their own that he doesnt realize his absense feels less like “i trust you all to take care of yourselves while i take care of this” and more like “youre not important enough to be clued in to or included on my escapades”

naturally sparx as the resident hothead with no respect for authority would be the one to let it slip to antauri that he cant just do whatever the fuck he wants and stuff, which is part of why i wrote this comic between them in the first place.. like, sparx is the ONLY team member who would ever doubt antauri, even for a second. he would never actually believe antauri meant to hurt them, but BOY is he hurt anyways.

sparx CLEARLY has a tendency to lash out, and paired with antauris complete and total calmness/detachment, i think it would piss off sparx a lot. however, the ONLY thing i think that could actually hurt antauri is when sparx takes a dig at the power primate/antauris trust in them. antauris hurt because hes realizing he completely let the team down. we dont actually know exactly how long chiro was running around as a monkey, but it was long enough for the remaining team to contact jinmay, repair the robot, and start rebuilding shuggazoom, which could be anywhere from three days to three WEEKS.

and like.... antauri cant exactly DISAGREE with sparx here, either, which is the problem. antauri probably WOULD tell sparx “im sorry i let you down, i have complete trust and faith in you and didnt think i would be gone or even that the skeleton king and worm had survived after i sacrificed myself, i understand your pain and i shouldnt have done it” but.....

sparx wouldnt like that. sparx HATES having this big question mark, this big simmering energy telling him that antauri could ever betray them. sparx loves antauri, he trusts him, he knows he would never hurt them intentionally. but antauri still died on them. and having antauri actually admit to his mistake and to acknowledge all of that hurt would probably be too much for him to handle

so.... i cant say for certain whether ill write a resolution, or whether theres even a resolution to be given. i care about these dumb monkeys a lot but like i said......... self-indulgent comic at midnight. i didnt even plan on it being more than 4 panels so making it a whole entire comic was super unexpected, as well as the positive reception the comic has been given
