I exist, somewhat

So! There’s 13 days left to Hallowe’en, and since I haven’t done Inktober this year I thought I’d try and do a Halloween based picture for the next thirteen days at least.

 So today’s is Over the Garden Wall, Alternate Endings, for each episode (except number 9 since that’s just a flashback and I guess the Alternate Ending for that would be they just–don’t go to the Unknown?)

Episode One: The boys end up staying with the Woodsman, helping him fix the old gristmill and grinding out oil. They stay around the homestead while he goes out into the woods, and actually it starts to improve the Woodsman’s outlook, having young things underfoot again, even if Wirt still gets after Greg and Greg still makes trouble unawares. But of course, the Beast is still always close about wherever the Woodsman and the Dark Lantern go…

Episode Two:  The boys were offered a place in Pottsfield, which seems a cheery and safe enough place, with lively if not strictly alive company, though they told they ought to ‘dawn their vegetables’. What’s under their vegetables is up to you…

Episode Three: The boys stick around with Miss Langtree and Jimmy Brown and the animal students. I like the idea that Wirt could become a teacher’s aide, teaching poetry and historical architecture. It’s a peaceful life with occasional trips to the Circus and Greg has plenty of little animal friends.

Episode Four: The boys stay at the Dark Lantern and are put to work by the Tavern Keeper. The mood around the outside of the the tavern is always spooky and dismal, but the clientele inside are cheerful (if odd) and the boys are well fed and safe…as well as they stay inside

Episode Five: The boys stay with their “Uncle Endicott” and new Aunt Margarette. It’s an opulent life, if a little lonely, with two caring (if a bit mad) guardians, and with plenty of healthy tea.

Episode Six: The boys don’t manage to escape from Adelaide, and have their heads filled with wool. Adelaide naturally isn’t going to lose the chance of a third Child Servant and promptly does the same to poor Beatrice. Whether they’re treated well or not in their servitude, they certainly have no comprehension of it. 

Episode Seven: The boys stay with Auntie Whispers and Lorna. WIth the evil spirit gone, its’s actually not a very bad life. Somewhat lonesome, but Wirt doesn’t mind so much with Lorna about. And Auntie Whispers finds she has a fondness for young Gregory, (not just because his frog has swallowed her magic bell).

Episode Eight: Gregory takes the Queen of the Clouds’ wish to go home, probably with the idea of getting help from an adult for Wirt. Unfortunately, even if he’d be able to get any help, it would be far too late by then…

hey guys- i’m very sad to share the news that i am no longer a part of drawfee going forward. you’ll keep seeing me around as i move on to new things! but please understand the privacy and difficulty around the matter.
