Untitled.

i made a comic in google slides for some ungodly reason

[that-house]

the long-awaited sequel, Untitled #2

[that-house]

Untitled #3 explores the formulaic entertainment mass-produced by the pawns of capitalism. Or I just wanted to say ass. One of the two.

[that-house]

Untitled #4: the plot thiccens. also there’s a plot apparently

[that-house]

Untitled #5. This whole comic is 23 strips long, and I’ll be doing daily uploads until it’s all posted. Thanks for the great response y’all.

[that-house]

Untitled #6. Okay so firstly, HOLY FUCK Y’ALL. I did NOT expect this comic to get notes, let alone fanart. The most recent strip will always be linked at the bottom of my pinned post, so you can check there to see if you’re caught up.

[that-house]

Untitled #7. Not much to say here. I hope you’re having a good day!

[that-house]

Untitled #8. The true plot begins.

[that-house]

Untitled #9. The Creator can possess Red because I, like Red, have a phenomenal ass. That’s it. It’s not that deep.

[that-house]

Untitled #10. *slaps roof of blue square* this bad boy can fit so much fucking existential despair

[that-house]

Untitled #11. Bet you didn’t expect the ass jokes comic to come to this now did you

[that-house]

Untitled #12. Red is fucking pissed at me. sorry buddy

[that-house]

Untitled #13. I indeed cannot have a comic without characters. Well played, Red.

[that-house]

Untitled #14. Red has his priorities straight.

[that-house]

Untitled #15. It would be funny if this were the last strip but I promise it isn’t. I put too much effort into the end of the comic to stop it now.

[that-house]

Untitled #16. Nice try, Red. Nice try.

[that-house]

Untitled #17. The paradox of omnipotence perpetually vexes me :(

[that-house]

Untitled #18. Let’s not have any ambiguity: Red’s dead. Hey, that rhymes! Neat!

[that-house]

Untitled #19. While strip 18 coincidentally did fall on April Fool’s, it wasn’t a prank. This comic has two characters now. Remember when this comic was about ass jokes?

[that-house]

Untitled #20. Three more strips to go. Holy shit.

[that-house]

Untitled #21. ass haha

[that-house]

Untitled #22. What am I going to do? Who knows… Find out tomorrow at roughly 8:30 AM EST!

[that-house]

Untitled #23.

[omnianomalous]

Probably the happiest ending this comic could have had

a vital part of my Victim transwoman vision is that she only transitioned because Mitsi was also a woman. it's something about hating who you are, this body you were born with, this purpose you were made for, then seeing someone who is so free and wonderful and happy and everything. and there's this key different between you two, right? that she identifies and presents herself in a way you do not, in a way you like to see and love, both because it is her and because it is what salvation looks like. and, yes, Victim is undeniably happier and more satisfied after transitioning, but she wouldn't have done it if Mitsi hadn't shown her how lovely it could be. If Mitsi had been a man Vitcim would just have kept thinking there was something deeply, fundamentally wrong with her until it ate her alive. and like, sure, there are plenty of other things eating her alive, but at least she doesn't completelt despise her reflection! yay!

it’s like. I think if you’re dead at the center of the narrative you are the body or the ghost or the black hole.

1. you are the body. you are there, maybe physically, maybe in reference, but although you are there, the story will never be about who you are, or who you were. maybe the protagonist does feel vaguely bad about your death, or maybe we learn in passing about a trait or two you once had, but neither the protagonist nor the story really care about you personally; in every other way you are a vehicle for plot and themes and projection and the development of others. sometimes you are inhabited by the ghost, even if it isn’t a literal inhabiting within the world of the story.

2. you are the ghost. you are seen, to a degree. generally speaking, we as the audience know the kind of person you were, and your most defining interests, and enough other details about the life you lived to prove you were living a life. it’s a version of you at partial opacity, but it’s visible. sometimes we physically see you onscreen through flashbacks, or you’re present through someone else telling your story, or we see your perfectly preserved room with all your posters intact. you are missed as a person, or at least as the idea of one, and your character (in both senses of the word, your person and your personality) now has an effect on the plot.

3. the black hole. we as the audience cannot see you, but the plot orbits your gravity, and we know that there was once a star in your position. you are identifiable solely by your effects on the people who knew you. you are more than the body, in that you—you as a person—mattered to the protagonist, but we don’t know enough about you for you to be the ghost. we don’t get scenes with you. we know a few of your traits, or a line or two of a story, all picked up through the things you left behind as they relate to the main characters, but it’s not enough to reconstruct the image of who you once were. as an audience we may not see you, because we do not have enough to envision a whole person through just those pieces, but in the story you are inescapable for those who come too close.

the trick about getting invested and confident in ur own concepts is to surround urself with other likeminded artists who are down to earth. i know nowadays especially people think "indie" and they think undertale or glitch pilots and they have paved the way for great things but i mean like. engage with your friends comics theyve been posting to an audience of 20-30 people. The people who are genuinely at your level with you. Who are working on their projects on the side because they still have a full time job to attend to. who go on long hiatuses because theyre in college and are crunching for tests at the moment.

maybe one day youll have all the resources you want to create your stories exactly how you imagine it at the speed you want it to be done, but until you get there you'll find so many people working with the same resources and available time that you have, and its about that network of small artists being able to support each other that can light a spark that you thought you needed an audience of hundreds to light.
