I’m sure this won’t have horrifyingly bad repercussions or anything.
😁
TO HECK WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!
ugh I had a strange dream yesterday.
I dreamed that I was trying to sleep but something was calling me.
???: miiiissssster ………… miiiiiissster.
I tried to get up and see what it was but I couldn’t move and I felt that there was someone next to me.
???: I found you, he will be happy to see you.
at that moment he puts me to sleep and then I wake up in a strange place where someone talks to me.
???: Hello sir, it is a pleasure to speak with you in person.
me: who are you ?.
???: who else would be, I’m your friend.
me: …….. Brandon?
Brandon: that’s right, it’s me and I hope you understand my Spanish ….. well I introduce you to my friend, you must know her, you always look at her in the comic.
me: is she Shadow … is she real?
Brandon: of course she is, she is as I said once my puppet and I move her strings and she lives but that is not what I wanted to tell you, sir I need your help.
me: what do you need? wants me to help you with something important like drawing or donating.
Brandon: it’s not completely different … I need you to destroy your puppet.
after that I woke up and reflected and said. Every dream has a purpose … which he meant by “destroy your puppet”.
That’s kinda creepy on several levels!
Yes, but what scares me the most, and makes me think, is that the puppet thing is true, and I have it, but nothing happens.
ik that it’s probably gonna be a while before it happens but what’s your plans for after you finish this comic like are you gonna make another comic or are you gonna stop making comics?
This comic is probably NEVER going to finish!
There are questions about the nature of Shadow & Tim’s offspring which will need to be explored.
What form(s) will their kids take?
From birth or will their forms change again at puberty?
Umm.. I think the most horrifying thing is that he has a photo album. Seriously, not digital
Photo albums are timeless! You can’t lose them when your computer dies.
But peopel can see them with ease
Besides, this is in the past.
Not only is the story “in the past” but also his dad owns and runs a photo shop so Tim has all the equipment, the skills AND the mindset, to take and keep physical photos. (I still have b&w photos from the 70s and some that my parents have from the 1920s – how long will you keep your digitals?)
The best option is has a physical album with physical copies of the photos with a copy of the digital media too inside it (like a USB & DVD).
The physical photo has a clear advantage. You don’t need use intermediate media to show photos. It’s most probable that you don’t see that photos in a long, long time.
Besides, limited spaces requires to select best photos which means less time to see for a future viewer.
But digital media allows the data to remain perfect… if it remains. That’s the worst problem of digital media. It’s a perfect ok/total loss situation. Well… technically no, but in practice use to be, because recover damaged digital media takes too much time and resources that most people simply discard the media.
And there is no good digital media for average consumer made for very long storage and safe guard storage media. CD/DVD/Bluray is fragile. USB memories are not durable and breaks in decade timeframes, a lot of them sooner. Cloud storage is completely linked to enterprise support and services could go down without further warning and with complex ownership…
It’s a pity that we haven’t developed consumer holographic storage in hard & almost indestructible glass. It would be the perfect solution for things like this.
The best alternative nowadays for digital media is replication which requires some dedication. More than one USB, a cloud copy and check the data every decade or so, but it is very probable that this kind of storage will be lost across generations which is just the purpose of most of this photos.
I have photos of my grandparents in black & white. That photos will be probably missed if they were stored in current consumer-average digital media.
eh this goes for everyone including Brandon, tomokatu, me too xd and those who come out too so …….. let’s say hello to the camera, we’re live or at least it was and it’s been a month since no one from here you know it and those guys like the tmutb comic, xd in summary of the conversation they say that it is 10 out of 10 and that it is provocative, you know what I mean.
is from minute 1:11:27 or 1:11:33
https://youtu.be/rO0Mz2b3f6M .
I see they are talking about the comic. Can’t understand a word of it though! Haha.
I talked to them that day and I confirm it from now on, that blue there was me who said to the guy who did the live .
YESSSSSSS FRIEND WAS WAITING FOR IT AND HERE IT IS.
me: it’s a comic that is updated every two weeks.
Him: ok I don’t care how long it takes, as long as it is not canceled, I live fine.
another guy: he already put it on me.
another type 2: and what is it about.
Him: It’s about a guy who knows Shadow and they become friends but I complain that he is very virgin.
ok here he practically expressed a complaint since he wanted to see Tim and Shadow do it but it is almost there and well to finish in minute 1:37:20 I give them what they wanted, something +18 but the guy said
him: OH NO friend take away what they erase the direct from me.
another type: quiet, I’ll take it off.
and there he put 800 memes of the NAIS that moment I laughed until I almost died but well I can tell you in summary.
Oh boy. Tim just broke contract. That never ends well with otherworldly beings
My only regret is starting this series before it came to a conclusion. I hate waiting in the age of streaming digital entertainment.
releasing this page with a picture of their halloween on this year’s halloween…much props
I know right? Sometimes I do know what I’m doing!
Ok, so far so good. 2 new friends that he won’t have to keep the secret from…but I still get the feeling something bad is about to happen.
“friends”??
Neither Craig nor Marcy is actually a friend- acquaintances at best, neutraalised enemies at worst.
I don’t know, Marcy wanted to be more than friends with Tim.. This is quite a few years after the Halloween that shadow showed Craig whats up. So they know each other pretty well I’d say.
Enemies “know each other pretty well’ too.
Merely knowing somebody doesn’t imply friendship.
Conmen are more successful if they know one better, but they’re NOT “friends”.
I would like–er, if I may–to take you on a strange journey… 🙂
Why is Tim “outing” her though
I’m still trying to figure out why he thinks he owes either of these putzes an answer about anything.
He “owes” neither of them, but they were BOTH attacking him and threatening his reputaton an standing in the school community. This is Tim’s attempt to counter their accusations and defuse their attack.
Marcy was threatening police action if he didn’t tell her the truth, which is a complication Tim wants no part of… and she is backed up by her friend Craig who definitely already knows the truth anyway.
Better to make nice than risk ever MORE trouble.
Besides the trouble he will be in when Shadow learns he broke his promise to keep her secret. Hopefully all goes well… key word being “hopefully”.
It will be bumpy for a minute, admittedly… but then… they make up. 😉
A well-known and often practised tactic (to strengthen a bond) is to identify a mutual enemy [see- Craig DOES have his uses] then turn on that enemy {nobody will miss HIM!} defeat him resoundingly (Shadow can make Craig piss himself in terror anyway) and possibly even turn him over to Terminus & Nightmare as an existential threat and he’ll N_E_V_E_R be heard of again!!! %-})>
The trouble with Craig would have blown over if Shadow hadn’t messed with Marcy, and almost gotten caught.
Shadow was extremely emotionally distressed at that time.
Do you actually expect an extremely emotionally distressed female to behave in a logical, rational manner, even in her own best interests????
Russel does have a point though. This all goes back to Shadow doing something she wasn’t supposed to be doing and I hope she gets called out for it.
Oh yes, & I concede that point, but I contend that at the time Shadow could NOT have been restrained and rational in her actions.
She’s a teenager. This sort of thing is not unexpected. Most teenagers can’t get into a rival’s bedroom unobserved.
And their brains’ frontal lobes (which moderate certain emotions and actions) aren’t fully developed until around age 25.
This may be why they TRY getting into each others’ bedroms so often, for friendly or unfriendly motives.
I know *I* used to (quite successfully until I got my own residence.)
I love this so far!!!!!!! Aaaa I just binge read this while I was working!!!!! Lol I do kinda hate how many people are finding out about shadow but makes since why it happened just frustrating XD lol plus idk about Tim but if I had this scenario I would have locked shadow done immediately XD (in a relationship I mean) just curious how often you upload a new chapter? because I wanna read more!!!!
This comic is amazing, and I love that it has been going on for years. As well as the glowing mother figure well she is gorgeous and all the female demons have been pretty.
