LMAO I JUST REALIZED TOMORROW’S FRIDAY SO NEW BAD BATCH EPISODE you know i can’t believe i might actually be awake for the release and i might actually use it as a break lmao
EDIT as of 10:30 PM: okay hey maybe i actually won’t be up until 3 am because i’ve already hit page 8 out of 10 for my paper, and i haven’t actually done any real writing, it’s just me writing out my main points / summarizing my main points and putting in my main analyses, and i just need to put in my soruces and citations to beef up the rest of the paper. but right now....that’s the situation. turns out  listening to my 2 am playlist and drinking caffeine actually does something. also, write in comic sans first. i am now realizing that writing in comic sans first is literally saving my life right now. i switch from comic sans to times new roman every once in a while just to keep an eye on the actual page i’m on, but it’s so nice to write in comic sans because i can literally feel myself getting more relaxed when i write in comic sans??

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World SPOILERS under the cut:
hello, this is just a random post to document my reactions as i read the Ari and Dante sequel, it's not going to be interesting just me screaming mostly but i might spoil something so beware.
start time: 1:55pm (pacific time) 10/13/21

4:14pm - A POEM SHUT UP
5:40 pm - I WANT TO KEEP READING BUT IM FALLING ASLEEP

6:21 pm - someone be my very own dante quintana please im emo
6:39pm - they just met emma and i'm bawling so of course my dominoes driver pulls up at this exact moment
8:11pm - ok i'm really slacking on reading, i keep crying and i feel like something not very great is gonna happen and i'm scared i'm not mentally stable enough for all this
8:18pm - idk if dante calling ari "aristotle quintana" was just a typo or not but i loved it lmao (also if it is a typo it's the 2nd one i've noticed smh they should have hired me to proofread)
8:21pm - "i used to think that she wanted me to be someone else. but it wasn't her who wanted me to be someone else—it was me"

10:49pm - ok i took a break to paint my nails but i'm officially back on my bullshit pt.2 let's go
10:55pm - "to imagine a future for ari and dante was a fantasy. i did't want to live my life in a fantasy. the world i wanted to live in didn't exist. and i was struggling to love the world i did live in. i wondered if i was strong enough or good enough to love a world that hates me."
IM 3 PAGES INTO THE SECOND HALF AND ONCE AGAIN SOBBING
11:11pm - "but, for me, to love was one thing. to let yourself be loved, well, that was the most difficult thing of all."

12:18am - i mean i already knew bernardo was a piece of shit but god (also i'm glad the topic of the victim being transgender was handled better in this book, by ari mostly obviously. i hated how it was addressed and brushed aside in the first book.)
12:31am - alright i have work in the morning so i should probably sleep, i ended on dante saying the new year was going to be their best one ever so obviously in book language that means shit's about to hit the fan so i'll let future me suffer with that tomorrow (:

4:43 pm- "he's not just some boy, mom. he's dante quintana."
SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE I'VE BEEN WOUNDED
5:02 pm - "i was going to ask you to marry me. but they won't let us do that. so i thought maybe it was best just to skip the wedding and get straight to the honeymoon." "have you decided where you'd take me?" "yes, i thought i'd take you to paris. we'll spend our time writing our names on the map of the city of love."
that's it. IVE FINISHED IT. and i'm crying and i loved it and i hated it and ari and dante grow old together in love and no one will convince me otherwise or take that away from me thank you very much. now i will live in a purgatory of numbness for the next week while i try and process this

Hey, I've been wanting to start a webcomic for a while and since you have one, I was wondering if I could get some tips? You know, stuff like hosting websites, canvas size, more or less how you went about drafting/storyboarding it and keeping it going? If you have time to do it, that is! Thank you!
yaaaaas!! i love talkin about webcomics XD 
Tumblr media
hosting stuff depends on what you want! i always wanted to just have my own site, so i made my husband code it up for me lol. but there are CMS things you can use if you don’t know how to code... stuff like comicpress [part of wordpress]. i don’t know much about this to be honest, but i know comics like the meek and the ironclad man use this, to give you an idea. the layouts are simple but customizable.
there’s alsi webcomic hosts that have built in [but much more limited] templates you can jump in with...these alsot have like, a built in audience, basically, since a lot of ppl use them to host, and they have forums and stuff like that. for that, there’s SmackJeeves [which kinda has a reputation for boy love comics for some reason, but there’s a lot of other genres on there too xD], Tapastic [tho it looks like they re-branded since i last looked?? they are ‘tapas’ now?...idk what else changed], and WebToons... and likely others, but these are the ones i remember. 
SJ is the oldest surviving one, so i’d say maybe it’s the most dependable? but you can research to see which one seems like the best fit for you if you wanna do the community route. [i’m also a part of a webcomic collective called spiderforest, which has the option to host member comics, but the comic has to be established already and apply during application season xD]
as for canvas size and all that, it depends on your aim. i started d*s with no plan to print it and it bit me in the ass down the line when i decided i wanted to print. i can’t print it as it is on the site, cos i drew waaay too small, and the pages were different sizes... plus i had 0 bleed/trim space, so my dialogue and art would get cut into if i printed it as it is. [i have an ongoing chore of redrawing the old pages for print which is stalled midway thru vol 1... it sucks lol] 
so if you plan to print, think about what size you might want the books to be. you can look at popular webcomics and see what their dimensions match up to and make a decision based on that xD there are a lot of bleed/trim templates you can look at on sites like printninja and ka-blam. [u can hit me up if u can’t find them, their sites can be mazelike lol]
as for drafting stuff... i pretty much know how the story is going already. i have the plot points and like 50% of the dialogue already written xD the drawing part, it’s like... my process for my current page is:
script [it’s super barebones lol]:
Vix:But where would he be this time of night...?
[she thinks of the time she saw the ribbons, looking nervous]
Vix:should I try that again...?it was an accident last time...maybe if I'm aware of it, I can--
[red glow, Vix looks kind of pleased. she follows the strings to the roof.]
^^^ i usually try to stay about 4 - 5 chapters ahead of the current update with my script, which helps me spot plot holes and revise dumb stuff i wrote before it goes live lol.
thumbnails:
Tumblr media
[oops this has a preview of the next page too lmao. enjoy, non-patrons?] i try to stay 10 thumbnails ahead of the current page for this lol.
inks:
Tumblr media
[i don’t have ink buffers, i do ink and colour at the same time...]
colours+effects:
Tumblr media
...i pretty much post these as soon as i finish them lol. 
idk if any of this helps but if you have more questions, lemme know ;0;/  you can feel free to pm me too!!
