When everything except his love for you is a lie:
Everyone in this crummy little town hates me.
I put on a face
I wave goodbye
I get on the bus
and in the window my mind paints faces
of all the good people who didn’t forgive.
In the window
in the passing trees and river
I paint them with the blurring colors.
The blueberry bushes with summer-green leaves
seem to me overalls and a button-up shirt.
Glasses, a wooden porch, the door cracked open,
an old man’s voice through clenched teeth
and a grudge held closer than a cup of hot coffee.
I look down.
The stark white-black-white of the pavement streaks
bring to mind an offer of forgiveness – a conditional offer –
a business offer dressed up in a black vest and a white shirt –
the guy never lightens up, says he’ll never be more than my acquaintance.
And he tries not to call me names
but he looks at me with suspicious eyes
like he knows I’m a thief.
I’m a thief,
but I remember the girl
who fills up my heart
like a page in the journalist’s notebook
with notes in the margins and upside-down.
And when I told her I was sorry she cried
and the ink stained all over.
She was scared, but so much braver than me –
she offered her forgiveness like a smile –
she waved goodbye and watched me leave.
snoopy of the day
thinking of how richard and butch really are so similar. antiheros who manipulated friends into getting what they wanted, used to be on blackgaard's side, spied for a while but then ended up getting hurt because of it... richard would be a good mentor to butch i think
forgiveness takes time.
u know what we gettin there
she's on a date with mitch but i'll get back to u when i can draw him
richard and monica's dynamic....hmmmm...
chris: and now, [x character]'s adventure in odyssey!
any given character's adventure: low- to medium-stakes moral dilemma, interpersonal conflict that resolves peacefully, frequently a source of comedy, ends with a benign bible verse
chris: and now, richard maxwell's adventure in odyssey!
richard's adventure: a humiliation circuit of the entire town where no fewer than three separate characters insult him to his face and he agrees with them before he leaves and stays gone for four years
can't imagine being jason whittaker hearing about lucy's kidnapping and subsequent rescue by some random you don't know and when you ask about him connie just says "he used to be on the bad side but then he had a change of heart." thanks that clarifies NOTHING.
Also while I'm falling down the rabbit hole of casting AIO characters as people from Disney animated movies
Doesn't he look almost exactly like Arthur Dent?
(Plus the fact that he works as a spokesman for a famous technology corporation without knowing it was evil with plans to mind control people)
she kinda gives monica stone too
i will never get over them modeling richard after nathan. never.
wait. obsessed with this image
been thinking about the "arem was supposed to be richard" arc so much recently bc it really would've hit so hard. like, connie kept saying throughout the early novacom era "wow I sure hope mitch isn't manipulating me and only using me to get information" as if she didn't see the EXACT SAME THING happen between lucy and richard.
AU where Connie accepted the job at Blackgaard's Castle
