you've paid for 1 more page which will finish chapter 1, Like I said I'll do the covers for free since we're doing an object theme which keeps them pretty simple. so there'll be 2 more updates before you need to decide if you want to give me more cash. No there are no ch 2 pages paid for yet. Birthdays/presents/favours will be said to represent 5 pages from now on

Gophers are the small violent animal of choice for D'Spring...

Something I've been wondering lately... maybe Dspring like the wizard of Oz all possible takes place in Stu's head, after he is hit with the brick. After all the world they begin in seems to be normal for a short while then gets progressively weirder. Or perhaps it is Tim's dream, that might explain his stoic adhereance to the normal logic which all the other characters fling to the wind.

Hahaha...
There are a couple of ways of looking that. On the one hand, it being Stu's dream would lend a vague sense of dignity to otherwise-ludicrous characters (Suturatu being the main culprit, but also Kari). On the other hand it might appear to simply be cop-out city. >_>
Being Tim's dream - which is a bit like the "Kyon is actually God" line of reasoning in Haruhi speculation - would say things about his psyche that I'm not sure I can even begin to figure out...
Compromise answer: IT WAS THE RED KING ALL ALONG.

Maybe Stu got him by a brick and is dreaming, and Tim just got sucked into the dream, like that episode of Buffy. This allows Stu's wacky reality to have a reason, AND explains why Tim hates it so much...
It's just that line about the car in the page I just posted. Tim and Emily are both aware that there *were* cars and that they worked in the normal way- but then something changed "about 15 minutes ago" ie around the time stu got knocked out by a brick.
at the beginning of the story the world seems to be a fairly normal place- you first get the idea that something is weird when Tim starts ringing his friends (but you could just put that down to becky being dim and Tom being a nerd and Emily clearly doesn't much care about normality) But (and sorry spoilers for anyone who really cares) after they leave the hospital in chapter 2 all semblance of a normal world is rapidly disappearing as they run off to the adventuring shop and then go off on a quest.

This is what happens when you try to piece some sense of reason together for Stu's narrative. Really it is only that little exchange about the car that makes things somewhat bizarre. Despite appearances, a normalish-looking street/shop could easily exist within what is otherwise quite a fantasyish world (which also includes phones and trains, to name two other pieces of random technology that crop up at least once). The "15 minutes ago" bit is a nice coincidence, I grant you. That had never occured to me before, although I probably assumed that Em had taken longer to arrive than that...

just trying to make some sense of what is essentially a VERY random story. I doubt this theory is anything stu was gonna magically throw in as a swerve at the end, it would just be a slightly palusible explanation.

Oh I know there was no grander cause behind...well...anything Stu wrote. This is just random theorising. Otherwise known as Trying To Find Some More Respectable Explanation For This Nonsense.

i just like that you all took time out to actually discuss its subtle nuances (dunno how to spel that) for a change PS : em your horses look more and more like my little ponys with time

Post by stokerino on Feb 15, 2010 15:34:35 GMT
Nuances is the correct spelling. Though this is more the invention of nuances that didn't really exist. >_>
On a side note, a few minutes ago I attempted to doodle little Tim and Stu characters for the first time since, oh, maybe 2004. It failed catastrophically.

PS Stu that's the point you dunce. If i tried to make realistic ones it'd be ABSURD.
Tim, did it really fail, or did you just think it did?

Re: Stu - Who knows. I'll update my estimation to 2005 as a compromise. Re: Em - exactly how am I suppose to judge its failure without using my own opinion?
