Inspired by that one post about how Worm feels like a long-running comic book canon- The UnderSiders issue #3 comic cover sketch! More details about the design under the cut

I think that the UnderSiders first two issues would be about the heist that they pulled, and Lung deciding to get revenge for it. This issue, #3, would be the introduction of Skitter (who would quickly become a fan favorite, giving her the leading role in the remainder of the UnderSiders run and her own spinoff series, Weaver- as well as the starring role in the Golden Morning crossover event), and issue #4 would be a flashback to the first arc or so of Worm the webserial.

I've put Lung's name in the sort of stylized font characteristic of titles, implying that he has his own comic, but I haven't designed anything for that. I also feel like he came out more 'demon' than 'dragon', but I had a tough time with him so I'm not doing more on that.

The Undersiders themselves are up on top of the roof, although they're partially obscured by the title, so they may be hard to see. In issues #1 and #2, that cockroach on the second R wasn't there- adding it was a way of indicating that Skitter is going to join the team.

every time i see someone mischaracterize matthias as a dumb, blonde, malewife with no personality except being nina's (dead) boyfriend i want to fistfight god and cause the mass extinction of humanity

#because like did we read the same books? #yeah matthias is a great boyfriend and sort of malewife-y #thats not the only part of his character! #like he isnt just some random character who only exists to make nina seem like a girlboss #he has so much character potential and development #just because leigh bardugo didnt make him have some big personality and act all main character-y #doesnt mean he's flat and boring and 2 dimensional #honestly leigh sort of wronged him by not giving her more relationships and development with other characters #and not giving him more development in genera #but from what she did give him #hes great #i get so sick of mischaracterization and lack of media literacy #six of crows #soc #six of crows fandom #matthias helvar #crooked kingdom #nina zenik #helnik #sort of #not sure if the nina tag and helnik tag really apply #but like the relationship and nina are both mentioned so i added it to be safe #mischaracterization #media literacy #or lack thereof

The most amazing thing till this day is that Max’s mum follows Charles on Instagram. That’s why she liked the post with Leo. It’s honestly so adorable when family members of other drivers keep up with their kids’ rivals//friends. Really shows how close knit the grid truly is.

lol, maybe she’ll attend the next paddle match 🙌🫶

Morse and drinking in the 70s...

Long....because I can't write short. And obviously, a lot of you will already know this stuff...

Just want to take a moment to talk about alcohol and alcoholism in the context of the early 1970s and remind folks of how totally and completely different it is from how we see it today.

Drunk driving had not been outlawed in most countries. Not only that, it was widely regarding as funny—funny enough to be used as a regular “gag” in movies. Problem drinking was also seen as funny. There were regular cartoon strips about it. The “drunk” was a funny stock character in all sorts of plays and movies.

Alcohol was ubiquitous. We’re not just talking liquid lunches. We’re talking drinking at work, while you work—just as you see in Endeavour. Think about that for a second.

And politely saying no wasn’t something you did without social consequences. It wasn’t just seen as a personal preference. Unless you had a specific, acceptable reason, turning down a drink was often seen as stand-offish and judgmental or as a social snub. Teetotalism was regarded as rather naive and ridiculous—not something any man or woman of the world would embrace.

In the early 1970s, there was no widespread understanding of alcoholism as a disease. It was still seen very much as the consequence of personal weakness—still a matter of “If you cared enough or tried hard enough, you wouldn’t do this so it must be a character flaw.”

Plus, most people, “normal” people don’t have problems with alcohol, so if you do then there’s something abnormal and defective about you—most likely something you brought upon yourself.

And as a “personal weakness” and a “defect,” the shame around it was profound and the secrecy matched. If someone went away for treatment, it was very much akin to an unwed mother going off to have her baby and then returning without the child. You never spoke of it. You pretended that it had never happened.

If you were a kind person, you also didn’t go out of your way to parade babies in front of her or talk constantly about children when she was with you. But refer to it directly? Never. Ask for help? Never. It was always something to be hidden. Everyone did their best to forget that it had ever happened and saw this as the "kindest" thing to do.

When Morse returns from his “cure,” it would simply be assumed that everyone would pretend that nothing unusual has happened. Why he’s  just been off on a tour of the West Country and nothing else! Hope you had a lovely time! That sort of polite fiction was exactly what he would have expected upon his return. Anything more direct—at least in a public setting—would have been shocking to him and everyone else.

Where things break down, however, is in the more personal interactions. His relationship with Thursday is such that they can at least broach the topic of drinking. When they do, my impression is that Thursday is well-aware that Morse not “cured.” However, in the context of the time, saying this would be akin to saying, "You failed," because there was no disease model of alcholism in widespread use. You went to be cured and it worked or it didn't.

However, I'd also add that Thursday is almost to the breaking point with the cumulative strain he is under. He can’t cope with the “burden” of Morse being in a precarious state and he knows it. He feels desperately guilty about that—as well as about other things like Strange and Joan or about life having moved on so much while Morse was gone—and so he just shuts down. 

Shutting down is Thursday’s go-to strategy when he’s overwhelmed. We’ve seen him do it many times before. And part of that for him, is that he pretends that the people around him are ok—even if they are anything but ok. Not surprisingly, he does it the most with the people he has the closest emotional ties with—Win, Joan, Sam, and Morse.

So the only way that Thursday can cope is by having Morse be perfectly fine. Conveniently, his preferred coping strategy fits exactly with his society's expectations about how alcoholism works. If Morse is "cured," you don’t need to worry about sparing him the constant offers of alcohol in the same way that the young unwed mother might hope to be spared babies. You certainly wouldn’t embarrass him (especially after he’s been through the humiliation of rehab) by drawing attention in any way to a possible to the idea that he still has a problem. 

And finally, a last note on time context. The scene in the pub where Morse has that first drink after finding out that Joan is marrying Jim is utterly heartbreaking for so many reasons. One of those reasons, however, is that we know it’s the first drink—and that the first drink leads to the second, and so on and so forth. Then Morse says to Thursday, “They said the, the odd beer, the odd shot, does no harm…"Everything in moderation," they said,”  and we automatically assume he’s lying.

I’m fairly sure that those scenes were meant to be interpreted through our modern viewpoint. However, it’s worth noting that again, the model of alcoholism in the 1970s was nothing like what we have today. The idea that someone with a drinking problem/addictions needs to abstain entirely was not even close to universal at that point. It’s perfectly possible that the advice Morse is quoting is the advice he received!

i want people to appreciate the fact that the original universe and classic sans himself are,, like, the backbone of the multiverse

and i find it weird that some people just,, make classic and the og universe not important in fics that revolve around the multiverse.

+ i hate people that add classic as a measly side character in these type of fics if they even add him at all. it makes me mad.

i feel like im just mad that people dont make classic seem like,,, untouchable and a really important figure when he quite literally is. i feel like some sanses would understand that they wouldn’t even be existing if it werent for classic

and thank you for the godsend thats making that classic centric fic, cant wait for them to realise that hes actually the original 🙏🙏 /ot

Buck has never felt so hungover. He doesn’t drink a lot and last night he drank…more than a lot. There had been karaoke, hadn’t there? Oh God, he hopes there isn’t video.

And now he has to tell his sister on her wedding day that they’ve lost her fiancé.

At least Eddie’s here beside him, looking just as worse for wear. Or maybe even more so. Buck’s not sure why he even bothered with the collar of his shirt.

Telling his sister goes just about as well as he thought it would. She and Hen immediately start pacing, reaching for phones, and calling numbers so fast Buck’s not even sure they let the line connect before they start another call.

And he and Eddie stand there awkwardly. Immobile with hangover. And honestly, Buck wishes his parents weren’t here at the moment. He doesn’t overly care what they think anymore (okay maybe he does but he’s working on it) but he sort of wanted to see them for the first time since they…found out…a little more presentable.

Maddie had asked him if he wanted her to tell them before the wedding. So they wouldn’t go all ‘Phillip and Margaret Buckley’ and make fools of themselves when he showed up at the wedding with Tommy. Who is probably waiting for me downstairs looking gorgeous, Buck thinks with an inaudible groan.

But now it’s HIM making the fool out of himself wearing a ridiculous outfit, destroyed within an inch of its life, and more hungover than he’s ever been.

His dad coughs to break the silence between the four people not currently pacing around the room.

“Um,” Phillip says with an awkward shuffle forward, “You, um, must be Buck’s date. We’ve heard…a lot about you. Nice to meet you.”

It’s almost in slow motion as Buck watches his dad extend a hand toward…Eddie. He thinks Eddie is Tommy. He thinks Eddie is Buck’s date. Buck’s not sure if he wants to laugh or cry or vomit.

His parents, in their own weird way, are trying. And while he can’t forgive and forget, a part of him heals a little more in this moment.

And then he glances over at Eddie. Eddie, who is vacillating between looking at Buck’s father’s hand and Buck himself, straightening his ruined suit jacket like that will make it look any less ruined.

A weird feeling fills Buck’s chest at the gesture. His eyebrows furrow as something almost…unfurls behind his ribcage. Between the insinuation and Eddie’s reaction to it, Buck can’t make heads or tails of the increased beat of his heart. What…is happening?

“Dad, that’s Eddie. You’ve met him before. He’s not Buck’s date. Tommy is.” Maddie huffs from near the window; phone still at her ear as she rolls her eyes.

Phillip apologizes immediately and Buck thinks he tries to make a joke to lighten the mood but Buck’s now focused on the new feeling in his chest. The feeling that popped up right after Maddie set their father straight.

Disappointment.

What the hell is happening?

going off that one post about relating outsiders characters back to childhood incidents, back in Asia when my momma would push me around in my stroller, people would come up to her and ask if she was babysitting me because I'm one of those highlighter asians and my ma is tan and beautifully sunkissed. But she would get SO pissed like "THIS IS MY BABY."

And in the made up world I've created in my head, Curly isn't PALE but as a kid he was much pastier than the rest of his family, bcz idk babies are kind of weird and light....so when his momma would tot him around outside, they'd get those same questions, but HIS ma had a slightly different reaction. She was defensive, and she'd immediatley wheel Curly out of there at the insinuation that he didn't look like her.

Anyway my Angela and Curly are half siblings

#the outsiders #curly shepard #i look more like momma now.... #sort of #but as a baby it was kind of hard to look similar. Probably because she was also an adult woman and I was a foot long #you can rip darkskin angela from my cold dead hands #idk abt tim tbh #he kind of alternates in my head

A small extract of a wip.

Alastor will happily insult Vox to his face but when Vox isn’t present, when there is only the possibility he could hear, he has to do it vaguely enough that only Vox will pick up on it.

Can’t let other people think that he has Vox on the mind when Vox isn’t even present.

Mildly hungover and reading Two Towers at my local cafe where they squint at my German but feed me well. Sun is out and the tables are too but I’m just inside the entrance, next to the newspaper rack watching people make selections and old men drink tea for hours and then yell to the waiter that they want a cheese omelette, and Gandalf is alive again in Fangorn forest.

I just noticed, in your HHStargazers AU no one has pupils - except for Alastor and, if she's canon, Carmilla. Does that mean slit pupils are a sign of a demon in disguise?

Good eye! 👈👈👀 (Pun unintended.) Though I don't really plan for this trait to be repeatedly shared amongst the disguised demons. Mostly to not limit my designs to an obvious tell. But the slit pupils were indeed intentional flaws I added in for those two in particular. Because according to MY headcanon, both angels and demons are beings beyond human comprehension. Thus, it's only to be expected that even when they TRY to fit in, they'll be unable to keep EVERY aspect of their uncanny nature concealed. At best, they're imperfect imitations of what "normal" should be. It just so happens that in my AU, angels have a much easier time concealing most of their little quirks and oddities away than the sinners for my own reasons and as for WHY no one ever grew suspicious of the eye thing, it's because Charlie's curiosity could be easily curved. While for Lucius to point this out, he'll have to admit that he's been staring at Alastor's eyes a lot whenever he gets close enough to drown in the depths of his gaze and- EHEM!!! Which he's NEVER done, mind you! AhahaHAH- What slit pupils??? Never noticed those before. Nuh-uh. NO siree. NOPE! Lucius is normally so, SO normal about Alastors VERY much normal eyes in a TOTALLY normal amount of normal. A-ANYWAAAYS!!! Lucius would also be a hypocrite if he was bothered by them considering his own occupation and the people he's usually surrounded by (yet to be revealed). As for the other humans, Alastor doesn't care enough about their opinions for it to be a threat to him and people often just avoid the guy unnerving them with his creepy ass stare. So it's all good! Hope you like these bonus fun facts! 'Cause I have a feeling I left you with just as much questions as answers, but that's the fun of an ongoing story, yeah? Stay tuned~! 😉✨️ -Bubbly💙

Witt took care of that other guy a little too handily, like he's had some experience covering up crimes...

LMAO! The air quotes!

Aaahhh!!! Detective Luna!

I'm here for all of the hair jokes!

Poor Cap thinking Kelly is pregnant.

Uh, Stella, talking to your dad about a criminal is not rash. When did Sadie become the responsible one?

Ooh, an old-fashioned stand-off!

Awe, Augie was so sweet there! But also, that's an alarming amount of trauma for two teenagers.

Poor Cap (continued). His rangers and his wife have been lying to him, and the Jackal is back.

Love the callback to Stella and Augie chatting while lying down. Especially loved Augie's "August Walker." A few more years and he can add "Texas Ranger" to that introduction!

That final shot of the all the rangers at the crime scene... beautiful and heartbreaking.
