PMD: Explorers of Sky - A Comic Adaptation

Chapter 1: A Storm At Sea (Part 3)

Okay so maybe I was slightlyambitious by thinking i could release once a week, so once every two weeks will do. Either way, DID YOU KNOW TORCHIC IS ACTUALLY SURPRISINGLY HARD TO DRAW-

PMD: Explorers of Sky - A Comic Adaptation

Chapter 1: A Storm At Sea (Part 2)

Ended up continuing it after all! Let's see how long I last until I give up lmao. Still, these don't take too long to make, so I think I could release five pages every week? I mean the whole reason I started this in the first place was because I wanted to force myself to complete something, no matter what the end result looked like, so I think it's feasible to think I could make this comic an actual thing, as long as I keep it as casual as I started it.

Also, I don't know who allowed me to draw a Treecko, but they need to get fired right this instant.

PMD: Explorers of Sky - A Comic Adaptation

Chapter 1: A Storm At Sea (Part 1)

Been replaying Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky and I got the urge to turn it into a comic like I'd wanted to do as a kid. Didn't want to spend too much time on it though because I have neither the time nor the energy to invest myself in a huge project so I got the idea of limiting myself to only working 30 minutes per page, an idea which I fantastically failed to achieve (i think i must have spent about two hours on the third page), but I still managed to whip these up in two evenings' time, which isn't too bad in my opinion. Maybe I'll continue it?

(also, please forgive my undignified handwriting)

The reason Ganondorf doesn't have nipples in Tears of the Kingdom is because I was left alone with him and I sucked on his massive man milkers until the nips dissolved from his titties like cotton candy in water

Thinking about the only fictional character whose writing was genuinely so deep and insightful that it has gotten me to rethink my core beliefs and ideology was from a "silly dating game"

More inadvisable diegetic explanations for why your soulslike protagonist keeps coming back from death:

Something happened with you and Death that's made things, like, super awkward between the two of you, and Death has been deliberately avoiding you ever since. You don't like to talk about it.

A mad scientist who's experimenting with the reanimation of dead tissue keeps resurrecting you by mistake. They aren't even looking for you specifically – you just keep coincidentally ending up in their corpse pile, and they never realise it's you on the table before pulling the lever; they're extremely sick of seeing your face.

God has a gambling problem, and He made a bet that somehow requires you in particular to be alive. Every time He brings you back He's going double or nothing on the wager; at this point He couldn't stop even if He wanted to, because the consequences of cutting His losses would literally be unimaginable.

You're a rogue member of a secret society of anthropomorphic cat sorcerers who've conquered death by sealing the entire city inside an enormous enchanted box, thus rendering your dead/alive state ontologically ambiguous; your quest is to open the box, thereby making your erstwhile peers – and yourself – mortal again.

The sin that damned you to Hell was so fucking weird that there genuinely isn't a page in the big book of punishments for that, and it turns out that there's no particular mechanism in place to stop you from just wandering off and doing whatever while they're trying to figure out what to do with you.

You're actually playing as an endless series of eerily similar cousins out to avenge the original player character's cutscene-mandated prologue death, and that's why you need to go on a corpse run to get your shit back every time you die: you're literally retrieving the previous cousin's stuff.

Have you ever wondered what actually happens if you ignore the warning in the erectile dysfunction medication's fine print to see a doctor if your erection lasts longer than four hours? Well...

Ok so i don't know any of their names but I am in love with all the legendaries, especially the goofy ice dragon

Alrighty! With all of them finished, here is a size comparison chart of all 80 Fakemon from my Great Lakes inspired Pokémon region! 

So, which Pokémon of the Norre region would end up on your team?

This cannot be a coincidence.

What I love about Ramshackle Dorm is that the only two things we know about it are 1) it's a haunted house with ghosts living in it, and 2) Grim, the only member of Ramshackle we get a visual of, wears a black and white striped ribbon, and as you all know Stripes + Ghost = Ramshackle is Beetlejuice dorm confirmed

Sorry, I guess I didn't word things very clearly ^^' I didn't mean Kurt and Ram were gay, I know they aren't. I was just talking about how I've seen people say that comment from JD was homophobic while I disagree, and think it's rather progressive actually.

I've seen so many people say that this scene highlights JD and Veronica's homophobia, but I always interpreted it as the opposite? To me JD isn't making fun of Kurt and Ram for being gay but their fathers because he knows they would never have accepted them were they still alive

Me being french and legit tearing up at that translation makes it incredibly valid

Sometimes I still think about "Grotesque Gourmand" as an alternative translation of "Evil Food Eater".

Only "localization" I've ever thought up that I think is legitimately clever.

How does it fit so well omg

GAY PUMPKINS 👏 GAY PUMPKINS 👏 GAY PUMPKINS 👏

Consider:

'Hyper Reality Show' by Utsu-P but it's an animation of Jevil and Spamton

Reblog if boobs are pretty cool

Deltarune AU concept where the Vessel is the main character and travelling around Dark Worlds with the secret bosses to get their soul back

When the Vessel is created by the player and Gaster that person who sounds highly similar to a certain scientist but not proved to be him, both of them grant them a soul, the player's soul. However, that soul ends up being ripped away from the Vessel to get into Kris - all of this happens exactly like in the game.

After being created and discarded, the Vessel grows frustrated at their current situation. Once they somehow end up in the Light World and thus gain access to the Dark World like Kris and Susie, they decided to look around everywhere for their soul, as well as traces of the people who created them.

They would meet Jevil, then Spamton, after hearing of their stories and suspecting they may be related to the scientist at the origin of their creation. They'd eventually get the two of them to join their team, one after the other. The three would make an alliance and swear that they'd attain freedom together.

Maybe there could be a final confrontation between the Vesssel and Kris - the Vessel, desperately trying to get their soul back, not understanding what it entails ; and Kris, knowing they have no choice but to keep it, sadly, in order to survive.

Spamton and Jevil's relationship could also be a main focus of the story. The two of them have a very different vision of 'freedom', after all. I imagine Jevil would intentionally push Spamton's buttons (reminding him that he is a puppet, that he will never cut his strings) and causing him all sorts of existential dread crises in order to bring him to the same state of madness he is in, because, for Jevil, the only way to be truly happy is his way. That would cause tensions within the group, with Jevil truly meaning well but not understanding that Spamton and him are not the same, and their problems will not be solved the same way - and Spamton, failing to communicate his feelings and simply avoiding the jester like the plague instead of confronting him.

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

Writing fight scenes

masterlist. main navigation.

@bluebxlle_writer on Instagram

1. Pacing

A fight scene should be fast-paced and intense. Unless it's a final battle with numerous parties, a fight scene that's too long tends to take away suspense. To speed up your pacing, use active voice to describe movement and don't overdescribe your characters' thoughts. Excessive inner monologue will be unrealistic, as people usually have no room to think during intense combats.

2. Character mannerisms

Here's a point that people often overlook, but is actually super important. Through fight scenes, you should be able to reveal your characters' contrasting mannerisms and personality. A cunning character would play dirty - fighting less and making use of their opponent's weakness more. A violent character would aim to kill. A softer one would only target to disarm their enemies, using weakened attacks. A short-minded character would only rely on force and attack without thinking. This will help readers understand your characters more and decide who to root for.

3. Making use of surroundings

Not only the characters, you also need to consider the setting of your fight scene and use it to your advantage. Is it suitable for fighting, or are there dangerous slopes that make it risky? Are there scattered items that can help your characters fight (e.g. nails, shards of glass, ropes, wooden boards, or cutlery)? Is it a public place where people can easily spot the fight and call the authorities, or is it a private spot where they can fight to the death?

4. Description

The main things that you need to describe in a fight scene are :

• Characters involved in the fight

• How they initiate and dodge attacks

• Fighting styles and any weapons used

• The injuries caused

Be careful to not drag out the description for too long, because it slows down the pace.

5. Raise the stakes

By raising the stakes of the fight, your readers will be more invested in it. Just when they think it's over, introduce another worse conflict that will keep the scene going. Think of your characters' goals and motivations as well. Maybe if the MC didn't win, the world would end! Or maybe, one person in the fight is going all-out, while the other is going easy because they used to be close :"D

6. Injuries

Fights are bound to be dirty and resulting in injuries, so don't let your character walk away unscathed - show the effect of their injuries. For example, someone who had been punched in the jaw has a good chance of passing out, and someone who had been stabbed won't just remove the knife and walk away without any problem. To portray realistic injuries, research well. I have two posts about writing realistic pain and injuries back in my pink theme, check them out if you need any reference!

7. Drive the plot forward

You don't write fight scenes only to make your characters look cool - every fight needs to have a purpose and drive the plot forward. Maybe they have to fight to improve their fighting skills or escape from somewhere alive. Maybe they need to defeat the enemy in order to obtain an object or retrieve someone who had been kidnapped. The point is, every single fight scene should bring the characters one step closer (or further :D) to the climax.

8. Words to use

• Hand to hand combat :

Crush, smash, lunge, beat, punch, leap, slap, scratch, batter, pummel, whack, slam, dodge, clobber, box, shove, bruise, knock, flick, push, choke, charge, impact

• With weapon :

Swing, slice, brandish, stab, shoot, whip, parry, cut, bump, poke, drive, shock, strap, pelt, plunge, impale, lash, bleed, sting, penetrate
