Cabbagetober Day 8 - Peach

I got too ambitious and it’s not done but I gotta call it done for the sake of my sanity call it a WIP- ***EDIT***- Finished shading!!!!

[haroldjaffe]

"average dungeons & daddies player has had a character die" factoid actualy just statistical error. average player has had 0 characters die. Freddie Wong, who lives on the edge & has had 3 characters die in 3 seasons, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

The Peachyville finale broke my heart, but I could not tell you with conviction in my voice that it didn't stick its landing. Rip Blake but his death was well-timed and his absence from the final act works in favor of its overall tone. Those last few scenes feel like a return to form for the Gutteral Screams (barring Tony), and I don't think you could realistically have asked for more thematically suitable completions to the original party's arcs.

Francis choses not only to live but to put himself first in deciding what future to pursue even if it's not the "brave" or "noble" decision, in addition to- I would argue- finding a positive parental figure in Trudy in particular. Trudy on her end refuses to let guilt anchor her down to a world she'll never be safe or happy in, chasing a better life like the first Trudy had tried to do, but with the crucial difference that her circumstances have bestowed her with the power to make sure that Timmy is a part of that life too, an opportunity she seizes without hesitating as she walks out into the great unknown.

And Kelsey is who I for the life of me cannot stop thinking about. Her decision to stay behind with BB and Milton is gut wrenching in some capacities of course, but the only choice that would have felt right with who Kelsey is as a person. I mean this both in the simple sense that she has the heart of a lion (or like, a good teacher you don't forget) and would never have left two 13 year olds alone to fend for themselves in the face of kingdom come, but also that Kelsey follows through on her values and does exactly what her brother proved incapable of; she doesn't abandon her family, no matter the cost, and this concludes she and Milton's arc surprisingly sweetly, in spite of it all. From our limited breadth of knowledge, her end is no doubt the sadest, and I truly cannot stop thinking back to that earlier scene where she fell into momentary madness and experienced a timeline much like this one... And yet the decision to leave the true apocalypse unsaid and open leaves enough room for the heart to wander, to cling on to the tiniest bit of hope and imagine possibilities of a future that lies beyond despair.

That's how I feel, at least. Well played, Mr. Campos.

man idk. I empathize with Anthony bc if that finale happened to a character of mine it would also keep me up. but even if we’re to take him at face value, I still think there’s something so beautiful about the fact that the world ended because the people around Francis loved him too much to stand back and let him sacrifice himself. idk. sometimes loving someone who is hurting feels like the world’s ending. sometimes you feel like you’d risk that if it meant they’d be okay. maybe that’s selfish. maybe people are selfish when they love each other. how incredibly human.

the peachy crew!!! i love them :’))

Best friendssssss

[deanlenzart]

a home youve outgrown, the fear that you havent changed at all. decided to overpaint the original piece from 2021 and add juno to the scene. felt only right, now that he has returned home

[flame-cat]

favorite juno-isms:

when he enters a room calling for someone but the room is empty so he just trails off their name and goes "... isnt. here?" like who r u saying that to sweet pea

"aw. :("

*growls*

when he's trying to piss someone off and u can FEEL his shit-eating grin

when he zones back in from an inner monologue

"... what."

voice cracks when he's upset giving him away so instantly

absolute shit pair of lungs. he's wheezing after 1 (one) flight of stairs

when he gets called out and starts sulking like the big baby he is

how easy it is for him to get caught up in a moment. see: him joining in on this "time for lunch" riot in the infernal grind, the countless times he's ignored the rest of the world because he's "on a roll", how easily he fell in with the aurinko family

the worst puns ever conceived by humankind

"ow. :/"

Goodbye the the Penumbra podcast! It was a really sweet finale! (Quote is from season 5, episode 24)

my tpp ramblings below the cut

I’ve been listening to Penumbra since 2018, and Juno Steel especially has been a hugely important piece of media for me! So when I heard TPP was ending I knew I wanted to do something for it (like with Magnus). Originally I had this plan to do an animatic but I grossly overestimated how much time and work animating a 4 minute song was going to be lmao! So I decided very last minute to do this comic instead! It was obviously not done when the finale actually came out but better late than never I suppose. I did my best to try and capture as much of the podcast as possible, but I had to leave out some stuff unfortunately (it’s a long ass podcast), this comic was originally also gonna have another page so I might make that and add it later!

[leon-the-artificer]

imagine: magnus giving an Anime Protagonist Speech and the bad guy is like rolling their eyes bc yeah this seems like something he would do but in reality he’s buying time as merle and taako rob the dude blind and then knock them out from behind before the three of them bolt

[leon-the-artificer]

#magnus: and ill never stop fighting! because i know…i have my friends! #taako: [mouthing ‘hey do you want this cool sword?’] #magnus: yes! …they are always there for me

Some gems I found on the TAZ wiki.

[weepylucifer]

it’s not just that john refuses to take his shirt off. for the first, oh, 20 parleys, he never so much as rolls up his sleeves or undoes a single button on his shirt. but hey eventually he gets more comfortable around merle and at least takes off his jacket or loosens his tie. one day his sleeve does roll up a bit by accident and that is when merle discovers that under that sharp professional suit, john is COVERED in tats

[weepylucifer]

merle, wiggling his entire bare ass directly in john’s face: “as you can see this is a safe space”

john, getting up close and personal with kenny chesney: “merle i

[sockablock]

a TAZ AU where everything is the same except instead of chess, John and Merle play various children’s card games:

“Existence, Merle, life, Merle? It’s horrible. To exist, to live, is horrible.”

“…go fish.”

[merle-casts-zone-of-truth]

“Kiss my ass you sanctimonious bastard. Also, that’s uno.”

[peglarpapers]

merle gets four in a row and john kills him instantly
