~Stan is sick and needs a bear. -Dr. Medicine.
Man I said there wouldn't be more essays but I was totally wrong, the next bit will totally have a bunch. GOTTA GET REVVED UP FOR IT I GUESS
so instead have a bunch of mother 3 sketches because ugh i can't stop what is wrong with me
AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS MOST OF THEM INVOLVE DUSTER ABUSE IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER i mean there are a few exceptions here and there but MOSTLY
DEPRESSING THINGS
and i guess a bit of blood in one
i just ruin everything i touch, hahahaha
THIS IMAGE CAME UP IN A CONVO WITH DEL AND I HAD TO DRAW IT
HOW COULD I NOT
I saw some fanart somewhere where Duster blocked a strike with staple and it was like dang he really has nothing between him and an enemy most of the time, the staples are the closest thing he has to a weapon that isn't his body
HERE JUST BLOCK THIS CHIMERA WITH YOUR ARM
SUCK IT UP, YOU BABY
here before the unending despair begins have some het fluff
WAIT WE'RE GOING TOO FAST kumatora don't slow down for no one
BUT WOULD WES APPROVE?? all these tiny panels were scattered in the stupidest order on the page, what is wrong with me
duster why do we even ask you these questions
in a bit of scrapped beta dialogue Duster mentions Wes taught him how to fish, why not work that in here somewhere, haha
It's all a matter of perspective
randomly switching him around from his button-down shirt to his sweater, why not
DUSTER HAS ENCOUNTERED A FATAL ERROR
RESTART, REBOOT, RETRY
speaking of tanehineri
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT, KUMATORA
mostly this came about because the mental image of Wes holding him as a kid came to me and it was so surreal and weird that I had to do something with it
i dunno i saw like a monster or something hey what'd you have for dinner
I think originally I had "You don't deserve it" which has more punch but on further thought didn't actually make as much sense as earning it, considering, so I switched it over.
SINCE WE'RE IN THE MOOD, HOW ABOUT SOME CHILD ABUSE
HEY OTHER CHARACTERS FOR ONCE to serve as witnesses, yes perfect
Haha I sort of drew Lighter from memory OH WELL since they mention that they've been bicker partners when you save him Flint and Lighter are just bickering here over nothing
HEY YOU ABUSING YOUR KID OVER THERE? NO? OKAY JUST CHECKING
see cause Duster can keep up with everyone while they're running even while he's limping, it totally makes sense
Pretty much nothing is known about Fuelmom/Lighterwife but I saw something call her Coaleen once and sure why not, seems to fit the theme
Since Fuel and Claus and Lucas are pretty young compared to Duster (??) and such, romance for their parents is still ON THE HORIZON. Unless the couples were together the whole time and waited a whole bunch of years to have a baby. That could happen. WELL WHATEVER
Wes as usual entirely civil to other villagers. Duster quiet as usual and also when Wes starts calling him an idiot in front of other people he tries to hide behind him since he feels ashamed of himself, thus why he's fidgeting and covering his face. WHAT AN ODD QUIET BOY WELL ANYWAY
IT'S PROBABLY FINE
let's lighten things up a little
THE RARE HAPPY DUSTER
actually i changed my mind let's get depressing again. This actually came up I think while I was talking with Moro and flipping through my guide, and it mentioned that Tessie was sort of the town's unofficial nurse. Then it occurred to me that that would explain why Tessie seems to know Duster and seems baffled when he doesn't recognize her later - she's probably been patching him up for years.
AND SO
THIS WILL HAVE A HAPPY ENDING I BET
Tessie's got a bit of an age difference on him here but what, she could be like 18-20 here compared to Duster being like 10, add say twenty years, that's not so bad. I MEAN LITTLE SPRITES DON'T REALLY CATCH MIDDLE AGE VERY WELL could also be one of those people that always looks young. I DUNNO WHATEVER OLDER LADIES SHH
I really don't think this was malicious or anything on Wes's part, I think he sincerely thought it would just get better on its own.
some nurse, can't even tell how old an injury is
that bandana is the same one he tied around boney's collarrrr
FUN TIMES FOR EVERYONE
I tried to continue this line of thought but I could only get to Tessie bringing Duster to Wes's house and explaining what happened before my brain apparently shorts out and refuses to go any further for whatever reason. I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO IMAGINE HOW THAT MIGHT HAVE GONE DOWN
maybe duster got a lot of hugs, i don't know
But hey, enough of tiny kid Duster!
I imagine Duster was pretty nervous doing his first show, with or without his memories he has like no experience doing anything like that, haha. I think this came about in a convo with Del
SOME OF HIS LINES ECHO HIS LINES WHEN HE FIRST SHOWS UP IN CHAPTER ONE AND ISN'T SURE HE CAN WALL STAPLE THE WALL CAUSE I'M A NERD
Duster: what if i screw up
OJ: calm down you're not going to screw up
Duster: *screws up*
INSPIRING STORIES
BUT IT'S OKAY, THEY CAN COVER IT UP AND IT'S FINE, EVERYONE LOVES YOU
i like picturing the DCMC being really affectionate and supportive to Duster because I torture that poor man relentlessly otherwise, haha.
YOU CAN HAVE DUSTER FLASH HIS BOXERS IN THE GAME, IT'S POSSIBLE
this is just a huge mess right now, it really needs to be colored
WELL YOU GET THE JIST
And some doodles after the Magypsy party I did a while back.
UNITED BY THEIR HATE OF FRILLS AND MAKEUP hahaha
i should draw a prettied up wes but it is really really hard for me to picture it in my head
A full-shot of prettied Duster, teehee. They gave him some stockings to cover up the big ol scar on his leg, tho he's still wearing his MYSTICAL BOOTS heehee
DUSTER YOU NEED TO WALK LIKE A LADY
just politely rebuffing them, still somehow ends up in a lolita dress
BURN
bleh I should do a better shot of this at some point. FAVORITISM haha I think it was inspired by a site that had some shots of Wes favoring little Kumatora somewhat like this with Duster on the sidelines all ;_; and it described Wes as tsundere I think, hahahaha
hahaha
ANYWAY if you wanted to you could probably spin a theory that Wes really wanted a daughter, thus why he favors Kumatora so much. Or maybe he just prefers her attitude I DUNNO
YOU COULD COME UP WITH THINGS FOR IT IS WHAT I'M SAYING I GUESS
lol this pairing
HEY LET'S DO A LONG ONE NOW
MAKES SENSE TO ME THAT LUCAS WOULD WANT TO STAY CLOSE TO BONEY AFTERWARDS just crushes that dog to him and never lets go
protect me from the nightmares boney
It's not very clear here durrr but basically Duster was auto-rubbing his bad leg sort of compulsively because he's not thinking about it, not because it actually hurts, thus why Kumatora tells him to knock it off.
PK HYPNOSIS WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT ugh i should have scanned this page before i blurred it all up like a doofus
Then later come the nightmares but feel free to add that part in yourself if you want
I was going to have this start the next comic but I got too amused by him winking so i kept it, haha
TERRIBLE SCAN i should clean this up and color it
THIS IDEA WAS DEL'S SO I JUST RAN WITH IT
suddenly two worlds are colliding noooooo
WAS THAT ALMOST A COMPLIMENT, WOW
would wes keep going to his concerts, encourage him to get better, make him practice harder, deep questions
wes isn't doing none of this counseling malarkey
he has pies to steal
I BET THIS WILL END WELL
just as expected
I think Bardic and me tossed this idea around, haha. YOU GUYS ARE ALL ENABLERS
STOP GIVING ME EXCUSES TO TORTURE THIS POOR MAN
okay that's all i got
I also posted this at dreamwidth with reluctant ambivalence. Comment here or there, don't matter to me!
