people will act like shipping vandertrees is crazy like they’re not a love story in the source material and their s1 dynamic wasn’t 100% a romance set up

Half the townspeople of Patience probably just assume that Harry and Asta are secretly hooking up at this point, right? Like, they’re always hanging out, eating literally every meal together, going on weekend trips to New York, constantly sneaking off into the woods, etc etc
They’re probably super paranoid that people will find out about all the alien business, but really everyone’s just like “yeah those two are obviously banging”

more resident alien posting. predictions... spoilers so beware
well. i'm upset that the shows going to have a difficult time having more serious scenes now. and that's probably what it's going to try and set itself up for.
i reaaaally would have loved to see this show do something ACTUALLY different and good. by different i mean in terms of writing and not necessarily drifting from source material. yes i'm still sour over last ep, but i wouldn't be AS sour if everyone on the show didn't treat harry and asta's relationship as "mother and child." and also if the show didn't take such a nose dive into the type of comedy it's putting out.
ALSO? IN A RECENT INTERVIEW? Sheridan going on to state that harry would lose his first """love""" (more like lust. awesome that a show trying to teach human emotion gets those two things mixed up) and then realize there's love everywhere or something? why does this feel like "weird" people are forever left to the role of outcasts. already fucked it up once i guess the guy's trying to fuck it up more. could've just left it at "he'll lose his first love, then he will have to reconcile with his feelings." but he had to drop in that last corny bit.
like. the show's source is already good. i don't understand all these decisions they're making to try and make it seem "unique." and now to get numbers back they're dumbing it way down. WHICH. BY DOING SO. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE YOUR DRAMA? like how am i supposed to take anything seriously in the show. i *could* in season 1 and parts of season 2, but now it's just whatever. it's too goofed up for me to care. and now people who love the goofy won't give two shits about whatever message you want to drop or plot you want to develop. i dont give a shit about the greys!!! i dont care what theyre doing!!!! who gives a fuck if theyll blow up the earth. none of the characters really care anymore either. oh well!!!
also, predictions kind of. i'm not trying to say this will be the be all end all but it certainly could be a turn the show takes. in one of the issues of the comic (suicide blonde i think), harry is investigating the "suicide" of a woman. by the end of the issue, he catches up with her ex-lover and ex-roommate. they were both ladies. and the girl who died had a drinking problem btw. and was constantly seeing boys. i'm all for gay couples on screen as a gay guy myself but it'll feel so cheap to pair darcy and asta together despite the way theyve been played on screen. maybe its doable. i don't know. but i genuinely could care less considering the overall tone of the show's drifted more towards a sitcom than anything else. i think the small handful of 40+ year old gay wine moms would probably love it, but the vast majority of viewers wont. either they'll hate it and say it's forced diversity (there's already people saying that about the gay couple on screen this past episode) or it'll be another nothing moment to a further nothing story. if anything it'd feel one step removed from tokenization, considering they see harry as a manchild. ableism! show's trying to seem fucking wholesome but they can't be bothered to care about their nd viewers. like "haha look we have a main gay couple!!! what do you *mean* our show has rampant ableist tropes, we have a gay couple!"
i'm just so bummed. the show's cornered itself into a sitcom so meaningful moments aren't a thing anymore. plus the comparison of harry to a child is really getting at me. like he's a grown man as a human, and hes a grown alien thing as an alien. it's such a big slap in the face to any person who cherished the witty and unique story telling of the first season... like.... i don't know.... people who would've been fans of the comic too? i have small gripes about the comic, but at least it takes itself more seriously. but the show runners haaate the people who read the comics. why? i dont know. well maybe i do know. probably seen as too nerdy and weird for their idea of the show's viewerbase. despite the fucking basis of the show being weird and nerdy.
they couldve done the darcy asta thing better if they do go down that road. i'm just saying i wouldn't be surprised. they already scared off everyone who would've cared for something like that, so i don't know how they'll manage to find an audience that cares. everything in s1 was so organic and felt real!!!!! now its just!!! nothing!!!!!!!!!!
im also thinking about the fact that after posting that one resident alien drawing i did, i've had to block tons of people because they're freaks. loud and proud conservatives. man this shit sucks.

The comics and TV series are so vastly different when it comes to Resident Alien. I'm not even mad at the changes so far it's just different enough to make you enjoy both for what they are.

Some thoughts on the comics vs the show so far:
-The show really does a great job of creating an eccentric town filled with diverse and quirky characters
-In the comics, the town feels more like the background setting with stereotypical smalltown personalities
-Harry and Asta's dynamic is THE best in the comics, similar to the show in s1
-Harry is way more introspective and serious in the comic. He really seems like just some guy who got stranded on an alien planet and is making the best of it
-There's more of a murder-mystery vibe in the comic vs the 'saving Earth' theme in the show
I'm still reading it, but it totally has me hooked so far and HarryxAsta are adorable

Resident Alien returns June 26th with the 8th series Book of Life!!!
At the end of Resident Alien: The Book of Love we saw Harry and Asta confronting the fact that they might now be expecting a child. The question now is: what are they going to do about it, and how will it affect their lives? As Asta journeys to the ocean to seek advice from her Aunt Shona, Harry contemplates his future alone, sending a strange and surprising message back to his home planet: "The status for this world has now changed . . . and you should act accordingly."

This is the Buddy for April 8th. That's him in the corner.
I prefer drawing characters with beady eyes. Big eyes are harder to draw, cause, you gotta figure out how big the eyes should be on each character, and make both eyes equally big, otherwise your character ends up looking like some sort of acid-dropping psycho.
And if you get the proportions wrong, you end up with a grey alien instead of a human. I've even thought of taking advantage of that detail to make a comic about aliens, something taking place in Rosewell.
But, uh, today's Buddy was a bit of a quickie. I was drawing the girl on the left while watching a show (ironically, Resident Alien, a show featuring Greys as well), and started scribbling a Buddy on the side. Not the way I usually draw it, but, I figured, let's use it.
By the way, on that show, why doesn't Harry ever say the name of his planet? He only says "My planet", "my people" and "people in my planet". Is there like a taboo on saying the actual name?
The same thing's happening in the HBO series The Regime, where Kate Winslet talentedly plays the dictator of a country, and they don't say the country's name, which gets very noticeable.
Hmm... now I'm thinking, maybe her country is Harry's home planet?
