I like it! It reminds me of those super-abstract Polish movie posters.

Was my first thought as well! Poland is famous for its weird graphic design, and everyone should take a look at some of their posters, to learn the meaning of true horror.

Not in Paz's case, at least.

It always felt a bit forced to me, even if you read it as the appropiate spanish dialect (didn't know it was supposed to be gallego however). Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely minor nitpick and I love Paz, I just took it as a little bit stereotyped, yet not offensive or anything. I'm from South America but most of my family came from Spain.

Honest mistake or in purpose, I really don't have a problem with it.

(my english can sound pretty silly, too)

^^^^ Urgh, that's not what I meant at all. It doesn't come off as "unrefined", just a bit unauthentic. ^^^^ (to clarify, I wasn't saying that it sounds too uneducated or rough, but rather the opposite)

Look, I didn't intend to cause a derail so I'm sorry. It's a really minor detail anyway.

quote:

Huh? I only found one mistake in all the dialogue Tom has written for Paz. I'm from South America too - Argentina, to be precise - and I'm actually amazed at how well written Paz's dialogue is, considering she's just a secondary character.

The grammar is fine, I mostly meant the tone was (just a bit) "forced" in that you can tell when it's written by a non-native speaker. It also isn't how a gallego "hick" would talk since that's more akin to portuguese. To give a comparison, some of the dialog was maybe -too- proper, like if I exclaimed "oh, it is a balloon" in english (just an example, the actual balloon line was fine); that's what I meant by "forced".

It is still very good despite that however, way better than what most movies/television portray as spanish/latino. Again, it was just a very minor spergy nitpick, so apologies for that.

Eh, she just grew used to it. Now she rolls her eyes and goes "Oh, Ysengrin..." and a laugh track is heard. Nobody knows where it comes from.

She still has to run for her life, of course.

When I join the GC avatar club, I think I'll pick Paz because I never see Paz avatars, and she's super cool. I think I saw a couple in the avatar repository, but nothing noteworthy. I can't get access to international credit cards too often so I'm not in a hurry however.

Nah, they would have burned that letter and yelled in disgust about how terrible it was. It cannot be Boxbot.

This explains everything. Annie and Smitty were running from Beartato and Kat's love letter was from Reginald.

Blackheart

Maybe that's just one of Smitty's marbles.

"Did it look like this one?"

"NO IT DIDN'T! *rrRrrRARRrARAAAAAaaaaauUuUuUUUrrGGH*"

What if he's running from everyone that wants a marble.

Yeah, the most likely explanation is that they were running from a mob of animals asking smitty to find stuff from them. Which would explain why Annie was just laffin' it off.

I kind of like that Gigidigi didn't draw Annie with the olive/yellow lipstick, I've never been a fan of that color. I haven't read much of cucumber quest, but I've always thought GD was really good at using color.

When it comes to GGDG I consider "really good at color" to be an understatement. No matter how much color theory I read on and practice I still suck at it and seeing her work makes me burn with joy/jealousy.

Obviously Friday's comic will explain everything about the love letter and not leave us hanging 'til next week. That is so obviously what will happen, you have no idea.

Blackheart

Know what, either outcome could be OK. It's probably the robot and this is likely a fakeout, but I was all like "You idiot loving shippers, it obviously isn't Paz!" and being proven wrong would actually feel pretty nice this time :nyoron: . If prepaid visas were a thing in my country I'd be buying that Paz avatar right now!

^^^ Aren't they just poking fun at that chibisoma rant? ^^^

Wait, re-reading this one got me a little confused. When is this happening, exactly? Is it before or after they meet in the dining hall and Annie tells Kat what she was doing? (because Kat said there that she just had a guess at who was the author of the letter). Did Annie return from the forest, meet with Kat for lunch, then return to Parley and Smits while Kat went off to do her thing?

It was a collective letter written by all the lab mice.

"Hey Bobby, stop teaching the mice to write OK?" Also Kat only has eyes for Boxbot.

Where should I go to find some good GC fanart? I don't use tumblr too much but is it an OK place for that? I try to avoid deviantart if I can.

vvv thanks mate! vvv

That definitely seems like a direction this could go in. She did notice the letter.

No Kat that's not how you humiliate a robot. This girl's rebellious attitude won't stand in the court. It's that friend of her's fault, I tells ya.

I think Paz knew about Bobby's feelings (heh, yeah, like robots even have feelings) but felt it was best if Kat herself told him off. But really, either interpretation would be OK.

Those are fantastic. Blushing Paz!

D'aww, this is the best update :3: go favorite character!

Sadly we're getting a perspective change on friday aren't we? :smith: (it'll turn out that Bobby and the Mice also loved Kat)

It'll turn out that literally EVERYONE loves Kat and she'll start going crazy because of all the attention and run far away and elope with Boxbot. How's THAT for a twist?!

Kat will be the most loved person in the Court, so she can only hang out with the least loved! It's so obvious, it has to happen now!

And it'd probably be a mostly futile attempt, in any case. These folks want to believe.

Yeah, sadly if there's something that defines shipping (besides being deeply stupid) is that they'll "ship" everyone and everything despite what the source material says just because they really really want to imagine said characters loving. Age, gender preferences or even being from different media doesn't factor at all.

One possible outcome I could see is Kat just fainting, but the hand being jerked away seems to be the more likely thing to happen given the setup. Most likely it'll switch back to Annie or say...Jones (why not?)

Jones, Mort and Bud go on an adventure! :swoon:

Yep, I'd read something like that. Jones mostly tags along to carry Bud's bucket.
