You are challenged by Northdorks Sean and Micha!
YELLS MY BABIES!!!!!!
Modern Duality Polyship tho
(Based on the fact that after thinking about Northdorks I was thinking about the various combinations of the OT4, only to remember that Micha and Robin never actually met in canon lol.)
Basically modern AU. Contains a healthy dose of TinkerTailor, Northdork, Beef and Noodle, and SeanKat. Special costar Mytho the exasperated best friend and (Kat’s) consultant on Important Life Matters.
Kat and Sean are bros for life and dating Robin and Micha respectively. Kat still jokes about her redheaded harem, but then she meets Micha and has that “oh no I must have a redheaded harem plus that one brunette” moment. What can I say. Kat dreams big. Plus Micha is really cool.
Mytho, unfortunately, is the one who has to break it to her that Micha and Robin don’t know each other, and people are generally not inclined to join harems and/or polyships when they don’t know the people in it. Kat thinks that this is a waste. Robin is clearly amazing, and Micha is so sweet. Why would they not want to be around each other.
So then Kat and Sean decide to host a large party for the sake of connecting Micha and Robin (Kat) and to get an excuse to try the new catering place in town (Sean). Their party is a massive hit. Too bad there are so many people that Micha and Robin continue to miss each other throughout the night despite Kat’s best efforts.
The gist of this is that everything could have been fixed if they had just planned a dinner for four and that Kat and Sean should never be in charge of networking people.
Will Micha and Robin ever meet? Who knows. Stay tuned to find out.
Don Bluth only knew how to draw one man, but dammit he wasn’t gonna let that stop him.
and they all had The Hero Hair™
A fine example of how choreographed longsword combat with historical techniques can be entertaining while still remaining grounded in reality.
What Could/Would Have Been
So like I said, I’ve been looking over my Duality stuff a lot lately and it’s amazing what a couple of years of perspective can give you. While I still feel my story was really strong, good lord did I cringe several times at my panels. If I had no time limit and I could feasibly turn out 70 pages per chapter, maybe they wouldn’t have been so bad, but oh well.
I’m going to write under the cut some things I would have changed and where I had planned to take Sean’s story. Long post to follow.
Keep reading
WOW I JUST REMEMBERED I had an epilogue planned, too. It was in Current!Times and the BW kids (Protag, Bianca, Cheren) are about 10 and going through that museum, looking at old remnants of Duality characters. The Dragonite skeleton was William's Dragonite, stuff like that. Protag would end up looking at one of the dragon stones until they get called away, just missing the smallest shift in the stone.

So I’ve been looking through my old Duality stuff (which is hahaa cringe to me now) and I was wondering if I even posted what I was planning to have happen in my last rounds?
Would anyone want to read that?

Oh my god oh my god oh my god. PAINTING URGES.
I offer to you: TV SITCOM AU
Everything happens in one big neighborhood/cul-de-sac
There’s probably an obnoxious background laugh track.
Sean and Micha are dating/engaged/married depending on the point of the show. There was a big end of season wedding episode.
Kat and Theo live next door.
Kat and Sean flirt enough to concern the neighbors. Kat also flirts with Micha. Kat flirts with everyone.
Early in the series Theo has an embarrassing crush on Micha. He trips into the hedges separating their yards at least once.
Later Theo and Faithe start dating, even though he’s terrified of her family.
What’s the equivalent of blacksmithing? Sam and Kat work on cars in the garage and argue over make and model??
Mytho lives across the street. He made the mistake of talking to Kat once and now they’re friends. Also he thinks her cat is stealing his newspaper.
Neighborhood wide bbq/cook outs.
All the stray cats hang around Kat’s yard because she feeds them.
In one episode Micha’s family visits and one of her cousins keeps making eyes at Theo. He has a concern.
Theo works in a jewelry store repairing ring settings.
Bastard Sword
Dated: 1563
Measurements: overall length 123cm, handle 22cm, weight approximately 1.44kg
Featuring the coat of arms of the Holstein family of Reventlow, the sword was part of a collection of weapons which was sold in Denmark, Gaunö in 1930. The handle has a wood grip with leather wrap and an interesting Octahedron shaped pommel.
The guard is a set of flattened quillons (23.5 cm wide) curving downwards and have spatulated ends. The blade also has a single fuller on either side and is inscribed with "Durch Gott und seine Gnad das Glück erhoff ich" and on the other side “alle Stund und Augenblick”, plus “AD 1563”.

Hooded Katara Dagger
Dated: mid 16th century
Place of Origin: South India (Srirangam or Tanjore)
Measurements: overall length: 22in (560mm). Blade length: 15in (380mm)
A similar weapon exists in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (No.36.25.905) and is pictured on page 146 (fig.15.3) in the “Hindu Arms & Ritual” book by Robert Elgood.
This particular one was locally made, featuring a multi fullered blade. The shell guard, or hood, ends with a yali finial. There are overlaid steel borders, which interestingly have fine rope twist decoration.
Made in Islamic style, the katar has four cusp arch design where the hilt meets the blade.

Damn. I wrote about a page of my rewrite of Round 5 on my work computer and forgot to forward it to myself for home. And I'm going to be away for a week.
8) ;; Sorry.
Working on a redraw of a thing for a warm-up. Well…It’s not so much a redraw as a re-interpretation? //shrugs
