This Has Definitely Been Done Already

And you can't make this up

"While You Were Dead"

This issue serves as a goodbye to our two most prominent deceased characters - the killer and the victim both. Two of my favorites to write (though not necessarily to draw; their designs are agonizingly complicated), and whose deaths both made huge splashes in the readerbase.

It still really charms me how popular Rainhaze ended up being, and I'm just glad everyone else liked him as much as I did. I got to explore a lot of interesting and complicated ideas within his character. Asphodelshine I sometimes wish I hadn't killed off, but only because it makes me miss her. Which I suppose is how I know I did a good job with it.

The title is taken from Cat Rambo's story "Tortoiseshell Cats Are Not Refundable": “He and Mindy would laugh about that together eventually. He wondered what that would be like, to be able to say, “While you were dead.”

Stancy is supposed to be mirroring Mileven. But Stancy, compared to Mileven has changed.

Steve isn't the same Steve as he was before. He's not self centered anymore, he isn't an ass and he isn't a bully. Nancy also changed, she isn't self centered, waiting for everything from everyone and arrogant.

The reason why Nancy got with Jonathan it's because he was at the right time. A time where Steve and her were having problems in their relationship.

But then Steve changes and evolves through the show while Nancy is now with Jonathan. They're grown up. And it feels like Nancy is now seeing Steve as... himself, his attractive self again. She still has feelings for him, it's clear. And so does Steve.

Steve and Nancy were right but wrong time. Jonathan and Nancy were wrong but right time.

They miss communicatate, like... Mileven. The girl feels like she's a bit more independent, like.. oh again, Mileven, El is independent. They fight, again... Mileven coded. And they have some strong moments... Mileven.

While with Steve... they have sweet moments - like byler. They have intimacy and fight for dumb things- byler. They always look out for each other and listen each other - byler.

I think Stancy now is more byler coded than Mileven coded while Jancy is more Mileven coded than byler coded.

Steve deserves Nancy, she's his first love. Nancy deserves Steve, he's her first love.

I feel bad for Jonathan tho. But he just doesn't fit it.

And one more thing about Jancy... they constantly need to reassure themselves and give reasons of why they're together/love each other. They're giving arguments to prove this to themselves...

I feel like Jancy is sibling behavior while Stancy is actual love. Sounds familiar? Oh yeah...

It's my entire opinion, but I feel like a Stancy redemption isn't such a bad idea.

Was going through my old middle school playlist and rediscovered this gem

Dare I say.. BYLER??

Yes, I had a really intense country phase, hush. I'm from Texas. What do you expect?

I mean...

out with the...

While my knowledge of the current series is extremely limited(gained only from youtube videos..) I decided to listen to an audiobook of Ivypool's Heart and felt inspired to try designing some of the main characters! They could definitely use some work but I had fun!!
