ohhh mannnn not to ask like half the list but like. 1 because birds. 3 because i just like the way it sounds and 7 because I'm also thinking of running a webcomic
1. Early Birds: Okay so you probably already know about this one from discord. It's the one where Eishi becomes birdmen early on in the story by being in the same plane crash as Takayama thanks to his dad.
So there's this one part that focuses more on Rei actually. Since in this story Eishi is already gone in middle school, Rei doesn't form any bond with him. He bonds with Kamoda because they both kind of share the trauma of someone leaving on them (Rei-his brother. Kamoda-Eishi). So when Takayama takes off to find Eishi it's not even a discussion on wether they'll go. Rei and Kamoda take one look at Takayama's empty eeat and they're like, "lessgoo".
Well it's a little but more serious than that. Rei goes through his depression period all the same. But instead of Eishi reaching out to him, Kamoda befriends him almost aggressively by taking Rei to see cats because that always worked. (I love it when people bond over interests that might not be mutual but has the potential to become mutual. Also cats!)
I'd post a snippet... but this is basically all I wrote down in my doc so yeah. Moving on.
3. Finding Home: Ohh this is the one I was working on most recently. I figured out a lot of plot and character details and I'd been on a roll. It has a lot of lore heavy bits because our protagonist is basically finding herself after being thrown headfirst into the supernatural world and she has no idea what to do with all her instincts and everything. And she may or may not solve a mass disappearances and make a pack along the way.
So this passage is one of the less spoiler-y one I have, the rest are too plot and detail oriented to share.
Riven shrunk in on himself, shoulders coming up to his ears to brace himself from the impending doom. The IV shifted uncomfortably at the action, making Danny hiss at him to stop moving, idiot. He pressed closer to the hospital bed but not touching. Riven wanted to take comfort in his presence but the stare boring into his bandaged side made it impossible to move.
Startled, Riven made the mistake of looking up.
Eliane was smiling. It wasn't a very nice smile, more teeth than actual genuine emotions. Like she was trying to do what textbook said a smile looked like and it got lost somewhere in translation. Her hands were curled into fists, shaking ever so slightly and the veins along her arms were popping out as well, stark and angry against her pale skin.
She looked like she was on the verge of losing it completely. It was such a contrast to the calm, unruffled air Eliane sported all the time that Riven could barely recognize her.
She's pissed. Over me. The thought registered haltingly.
Also today I figured out the dragon mating ritual for this world. Is that ever going go be relevant to the plot? I don't know. I just know I know I made a dragon mating ritual for this world.
It happens when the interested party takes something from the hoard of the dragon they want to court. If the latter is interested as well, they will allow this intrusion and take something back from them. If there isn't any interest, the dragon that had it's thing taken will fight the Interested party for the ownership of their hoard and the ensuring match will decide if the intruder will live or not. So be very careful about taking from a dragon's hoard. At best you'll get a spouse, at worst you'll have to fight them
Literally no one needs to know that. But it's out here. Take it how you will.
7. Circles of Life: FIRST THINGS FIRST, tell me about this webcomic idea you're having. I wanna know!
So mine is an story about a Villainess princess who goes back in time with her memories intact and mends her ways basically.
This was created mainly because I want to make simple, stereotypical consistent characters and a webcomic. But all my other ideas were too elaborate and fantastical to execute properly. I wanted something a little bit more simple and repetitive for the first time. But of course I underestimated my need to add "just another" detail and made a story that will require me to draw over the top semi-histortical clothing I have little to no idea about.
It's a little bit more than bad misunderstood woman goes back in time to do it better and attracts the main love interests story because my "Villainess" Felicia starts off as a fairly horrible person and she doesn't just go back in time once. She does it multiple times. Because Felicia is such a disaster, the first few cycles she keeps fucking up everything pretty early on in the story and gets killed. She goes through a few cycles before she stands still and starts reevaluating her life choices. So it's a gradual character development.
Of course she's not the only main character. In her original cycle, she was the villan to the new palace healer Ariya and her band of suitors that range from a Duke to a librarian. They all feature as main characters in Felicia's different cycles, depending on what strategy she's trying to survive this time around. All roads lead to a revolution. For her country and her character.
