Bruce: It takes a whole lifetime to forget someone.

Damian: You forgot me in the parking lot yesterday.

White lies 🐝 (please read more under the cut <3)

So happy I finished this thing before ep 8 oof

Anyway, the comic was born out of

my thoughts about Caine's model lacking many essential facial features (as if he was never intended to show any emotions) and yet him being literally the most expressive character in the circus despite everything.

me being low-key obsessed with the implications episode 7 left us with. Players questioning everything they've been told and Caine being in the center of it all.

Just to be clear, I do believe Caine is written as a sentient AI who is just struggling to understand humanity and everything that comes with it. And I think these thoughts about him faking his emotions are inherently wrong within a story. He's oblivious and desperate but not malicious. But couple it with the fact that he's been lying about many other things (so far I'm inclined to think it was for players' sake in his own eyes) and that humans have been suffering for a while dealing with a literal god that doesn't understand them... Well, I have a feeling that they will doubt his motives and literally everything they know, rightfully so.

The amount of attention this little comic received is a bit terrifying and overwhelming and seeing all the different interesting interpretations people come up with I just wanted to explain mine own a little better <3

I want them all to be healed and happy, little guy absolutely included, but man the situation is rough, and the odds are against us

(Also please ignore typos, I'm hyperaware of them and even messed up writing my on name, i was really, really tired :') )

Update after ep 8: oh boy :')

JAX ISNT AFRAID OF CORN

HES AFRAID OF CLUSTERS OF HOLES/BUMPS.

HE HAS TRYPOPHOBIA

HE ISNT SCARED OF POPCORN BECAUSE 1. IT ISNT ACTUALLY CORN, 2. IT DOESNT HAVE HOLES AND 3. IT JUST ISNT A TRIGGER FOR HIM THE WAY CORN IS????

EDUCATE YOURSELVES

i personally believe corn is a trigger because it looks VERY similar to abstracted circus members' eyes

being a jon kent fan is misery because every time a jon comic releases the same 5 takes get recycled:

it should've been [character] (usually kon or chris)

[author] finally made him interesting

"stop trying to make jon kent happen! it's not going to happen!"

Fake Aged Up Jon Kent is a horrible fraud and i hate him

baseless theorizing about him getting de-aged

and none of these people actually wanna talk about what happens in the comic

ok but what if FL Zuko adopted his wife's famous hair loopies >>

[thetaoofbetty]

very sexy indeed

[jonkentism]

My own personal headcanon is that Jon is a tmnt fan and was trying not to geek out about how Damian is a real life ninja when they met for the first time

Good evening ZK/Zuko nation…. I need all my fellow artists to get on their zoom (spoilers below of Zuko’s look from the leak)

[boreastic]

Okay, maybe that wasn’t actually the final edit… because honestly, tweaking Azula to look like an actual fourteen-year-old is kind of addictive.

Yeah, this is basically me showing how much I love the headcanon of Azula looking more like Zuko without makeup (and with her hair just casually down).
