Baccanovember 2024 Day 27 - Cut/Connection

look at this! the textures! that smile! the softness! its a fucking chocolate ad! (piece by al parker from what i can find)

gerard’s valuable insight on twilight.

For one reason or another, he was confident she wasn’t an innocent girl. He didn’t seem to let on though, still smiling blissfully as his scissors danced upon the seat. Instead, he decided to just figure a few small things out about her “A student like you shouldn’t be locked up just because you were talking to the wrong guy; so just think of me as a specialty, expensive barber! Here to give a twenty four thousand dollar haircut~”

“Oh, I’ve been out of school for years!” she waved a hand passively in front of her, “I definitely don’t think this guy is expecting us. And even if he was, he’d be pretty stupid to get the police involved. I’ve got a pretty photograph with his face all over it.” That lead to some incriminating evidence. “Are you worried about me? That’s so sweet! I would say that I’m worried about you but you seem like a pretty capable guy, who would never go anywhere that he wasn’t sure he could get out of. Is that right?”

His name was well known in the New York underground, he was the reason no small gangs ever tried to fight the Gandor family, him and two other people really. He was also exactly the type of resource information brokers could fear and trust all at once, the brutal barber of New York.

Maria: Well, yeah…but if it makes you feel any better, it’s also because you’re very white.

☹ For yours to accidentally hit mine in the face with the door. ↘ For yours to accidentally make mine trip on the stairs. ♨ For mine to accidentally burn yours with coffee.  ✄ For mine to accidentally break a glass and get yours cut.  ♥ For mine to accidentally bite yours too hard while kissing. ♕ For yours to accidentally hit their head with mine’s head. ❊  both of them to accidentally fall right into a thorn bush. ☄ For both of them to accidentally get bitten by a furious dog. ✚ For both of them to accidentally get food poisoned. ⊙⊙ For yours to accidentally get soap in mine’s eyes.  ✗ For mine to accidentally cause an allergic reaction to yours.

He spilled such personal information with just a simple question, and still no change of expression, as if it were absolutely worthless to him. An information broker might find him to be like a mine of knowledge, though it might all be fool’s gold. He could still be lying.

“You seem to know a lot of people… is this some kind of organization? Wait, no, don’t tell me… because then you’d have to kill me, right?”

“I realise you don’t know me, but please help me, I think I’m going to pass out.” “I’m sorry to interrupt, but I saw someone put something in your drink. You didn’t drink from it already, did you?” “I got robbed and have no way of getting home. They got my phone, so I can’t call anyone. Could I please borrow your phone?” “Shit! Sorry, I didn’t see you there… Are you okay?” “Charlie! Imagine seeing you here!– Oh. Wait, you aren’t Charlie…” “Excuse me, I was looking to get my girlfriend a bra, could you help me– You’re not the shop assistant, are you?” “Watch out for that truck!” “Is this your wallet?” “You look very different to your profile picture…” “Look out where you’re going, asshole!” “Did you see that?! He had a gun.” “Are you the girl/guy from So You Think You Can Dance?!” “Err– I’m sorry to interrupt, but I was just walking behind you and I think you must have sat in something…” “I know I don’t know you and this might sound really strange, but do you have a room or a spare settee or something I could crash on? I could pay you… I just… I really need someone to help me out right now.” “HELP ME!” “Oh my god, are you okay? I’m calling the police. I think I saw who did this to you.” “Are you alright? You look really pale.” “The whole street is blocked off. The police won’t tell us anything, but I think there’s been some kind of attack… Maybe a bomb?” ”Have you lost something? Can I help?” “Are you okay? Did someone hurt you?”.

2 years later, and I finally managed to draw this idea that’s been floating in my head. Surprisingly enough, it took me about 2 days to finish all 6 pages. I’m not sure how much water my theory here holds, if any.. But I liked the idea enough to make a comic about it. Anyway, I hope you guys like it. <3333
