FUN FACT

This scene!!

It's something that has been in my mind for SO long

There's some old concept art from 2022! About it

But like, the scene was way longer and super different back then, and way more complicated for no reason

If you've been here for a LONG time you might have seen that art akshwkhsiqjwj (if you haven't been here for long...yeah, I made this au like 2(almost 3) years ago and then I abandoned it... BUT IT'S BACK AND IT'S ACTUALLY A COMIC NOW)

I changed the scene a lot because honestly it made no sense????WHY DID THEY HAVE AXES???? WHERE???? HOW?? That's bothering me so much

And like, I realized it didn't need to be complicated, sometimes simple things work better and are smarter!! ;]

Honestly it's good that I started the comic now, cause I draw so much faster and also the story is way more clear in my adult mind hehe

16 year old me would be proud

i think people give elise too much shit for her little outburst at the end of sonic 06 because if i was running a country at 17 and had been repressing my emotions for 10 years straight and one day i got kidnapped like 500 times and ended up befriending the guy who rescued me and while spending time with him i felt like i really got to be myself and have fun for the first time in forever and formed a really meaningful relationship with him only for some weird demon rat thing to show up and kill him right in front of me just to make me cry so the destructive fire god that my dad sealed inside my body would be unleashed and then in order to save the world i had to reset the timeline and forget we ever met i would have become the joker

L'APPEL DU VIDE

okay so. jack! jack. what a collection of guys. the overlap between jack and the beanstalk and jack the giant killer, though. that sure is something! sometimes king arthur is there, which always takes me by surprise.

this. specifically. is an idea I've been kicking around. jack and the beanstalk is not a story I've ever enjoyed, as a kid it was probably my least favorite to read. as an adult, I was INTENSELY fascinated by reading j.g. ballard's the drowned giant. I think about it frequently, and somewhere during a re read of it, I ended up revisiting jack.

combining different versions of jack into one character is not a new concept, but it IS a fun one! the version I've been assembling together plays less with the fun elements of a jack story (and adjacent folklore stories), and focuses more on the potential for tragic elements with the addition of the usual grim and jagged narrative edges that I personally enjoy.

jack with the backstory of the devil and the three golden hairs, only jack doesn't find love, he's TIRED, all he wants to do is go home, but there isn't a home to go back to. what is the point of being born lucky if this is what it gets you? jack the giant killer, only he doesn't want to kill giants, jack who saw a body of a giant when he was a small child and cannot bring himself to do as a king commands. jack, who climbs up the beanstalk and stops halfway to look down. etc.

to go back to the drowned giant real quick, both to set the tone about jack seeing the body of a giant as a youth, and also because I've been haunted and obsessed with this excerpt of it ever since I read it:

J. G. Ballard, The Drowned Giant

anyway! this was originally like, a two illustration concept to get out of my system. however. I'm halfway through outlining a narrative. so. maybe it will also be several illustrations and also comic.

So I’m currently in my Batman era and here’s what completely fascinates me about Harvey Dent, is the choice to make him a prosecutor. Because like, being a prosecutor is an inherently violent job, ultimately your job 40 hours a week is to decide who you want to subject to the torture and violence of the prison and probation systems, whose human rights you feel like stripping and who gets to keep them, it’s a job which is fundamentally opposed to rehabilitation because ultimately even when you’re giving people plea deals (and I have a whole rant about plea deals don’t even get me started) like, you’re ultimately playing God with people’s lives, and not just playing God, but using the incredible systemic violence and threat of the criminal justice system to do it. And that power warps your fucking mind, right. I love that he has a traumatic background and because of that traumatic background, rather than doing the inner work to heal and perhaps use some of his power to rehabilitate and improve his community, he invests in just continuing the cycle. He is literally the opposite foil to Bruce Wayne, a person of incredible privilege and power who decides to use his traumatic past as a motivator to do good and be ultimately an incredibly empathetic hero. I love that meanwhile, Harvey Dent becomes Two Face, this character who is obsessed with fate and luck, who literally makes decisions according to the coin, because that is genuinely a statement on the criminal justice system and how prosecutors interact with it, in a way he is just binding himself to the choice he makes in his day job, is using this token of chance to enact violence. Two Face isn’t this completely foreign evil lurking inside of Harvey Dent, but a natural continuation of the ideals that Dent commits to in his daily life. In the animated series, I absolutely adore that when “Big Bad Harv”, this manifestation of all of Dent’s childhood trauma, when that comes out and he beats the shit out of people, his only thought is how it will affect his campaign to be DA. Because what that does is tie motivations together - Two Face is Two Face because Harvey Dent is a prosecutor, Two Face uses a coin to decide people’s face because ultimately in the criminal justice system there is no justice, it’s literally based on circumstances, it’s the flip of the coin, and the coin doesn’t care, so Two Face doesn’t care. Because if he cares, then that means Harvey Dent has to care about putting people in this system. There’s also this incredibly fun underlying theme of how enacting violence fundamentally changes a person, like, sorry I just find Harvey Dent to be an insanely nuanced and incredibly fun look at what the violence of the state does not only to people who are caught in its trap, but also what it does to the people who carry it out.
