Relistened To The Bifrost Incident, Just HAD To Draw This Little Guy!

relistened to the bifrost incident, just HAD to draw this little guy!

his name is orion

Hot take? probably lukewarm at best tbh?

I don’t like billford not because it “promotes or glorifies abuse” (although that’s something that people can unfortunately do through it as people are good at just making shit bad)

But because i just… don’t see them that way? At all? Ford’s always seemed very aroacespec to me, and the relationship between the two has never had any “romantic” elements that stand out to me at all. A lot of the language Hirsch uses around the two of them does not necessarily make it a romantic relationship! “Will-they-won’t-they” and such stuff is intentionally a joke and also is able to have meaning behind it that ISNT necessarily romantic!!!!! BECAUSE! May I remind you!!!! People can be close and even intimately connected in ways other than romantic!!!!

plus there’s the whole power dynamic between them that makes it seem way more “i give this guy an unhealthy amount of attention religiously” than “i give this guy an unhealthy amount of attention romantically” like it’s a religious relationship i feel like, not romantic

thanks for coming to my soapbox ted talk show

I don’t know man it’s 2 in the morning i’m sorry this is incoherent

more book of bill doodles!

love this freak

I feel like there is a point where it gets annoying, but so far these are only developing characters and sometimes TMA is a good reference point for understanding the ideas being introduced in TMAGP. Especially if those parallels are intentional! Maybe Sam is “the new Jon” in the way that they are both likely going to be tied to a tragedy they could have prevented. It’s not a bad thing to compare characters at all, although I don’t think that is the point OP was trying to make.

Also, Smirke’s 14-15 Entities may not be applicable to the TMAGP stories, but they weren’t entirely applicable to TMA. They’re a useful framework/lens for understanding horror, that can both help and hurt understanding of the concepts. If someone wants to say that Mr. Bonzo is very hunt-coded, that’s okay, because it helps them interpret the character in their own way.

I mean this in the nicest way but watching people try to fit every single story into a TMA entity and relate every protocol character to a TMA character is making me lose my marbles. I find it weird when people constantly say Alice is "the new Tim" and say Lena is "the new Elias" because they're clearly new characters that just share 1 similarity...
