This happens a lot more than it should

Some people seem to think it’s fun, living with Mits.

And some people seem to think that the tag “Mitsune is evil” is somehow a joke. This is not true – the tag, however, is quite correct. I’m also pretty sure 90% of my guildies – both their mains and their alts – have a necklace from ICC by now. I do not.

I suppose it’s one of the things you have to live with when you’re a raider, and I would be fine with that. (Well, okay, that’s a lie, but I pretend to be. Not getting a neck-upgrade from ICC ever, not any of the normal mode-ones nor any from the heroic version wont kill me. I hope.)
I would be fine. Really, I would. Except this is another one of those strips that are less of a joke and more of a “this actually happens in our household”.

Well, if you disregard the drawings on Mitsune’s face. The bastard’s really fast and hard to catch.

Edit: and apparently I’m floating in the air in the first panel. It’s a very useful ability to have.

      His is the only door with an actual lock in our house. I’m not sure I dare do anything against him as MY door isn’t possible to lock :| (also, sorry, your comment got captured by our over-zealous spamfilter and I didn’t realize it til now. :P )

Conversation Interruptus

The party dialogue system in SWTOR was the first thing that actually made my jaw drop. The degree to which companions are a part of your game experience is amazing, sure, but that was something I was eased into. Seeing how the game handled multi-person dialogue, however, was big and it was sudden.

Maybe it’s because I still see this as multiplayer Mass Effect, but there is nothing I look forward to quite as much as having party conversations inside a new flashpoint. Now, you could argue that the roll system is entirely arbitrary and perhaps even “silly”, but as this comic shows, we violently disagree.

Or not. Silly is good. I wish we’d get little fight scenes when I want to say something cool and Ayms tries to be all nice and stuff.

Serious boring note: “Elective democracy.” Apparently this is taken by some to mean something rather specific (a contradiction, even), but google hits were sparse. Perhaps it’s even redundant in that democracies are elective by nature where they aren’t direct? I don’t even know, but it looks better this way. A literalist, I ain’t.

Me boonawa tutetotabah wonga wonga, nakanoyachoisky bushudah-

Er, that is to say, hi. This here is what happens when your artist gets to make a comic with whatever expressions she likes, leaving the writer to fill the gaps.

If I felt superfluous before, at times, I now almost feel like a detractor. Expressions are amazing! I mean, come on. Panel 3, anyone?

Now, this is of course a minor exaggeration – and a half-truth; the strip was planned – but I am tempted to suggest to Aymee that she draws a strip before I script it, once. I have no idea if that would work. I also have no idea whether or not you guys found this here strip today even remotely funny.

Before you ask: Yes, this blog exists solely for me to toy around with semicolons and various dashes. I never get to place a semicolon inside a set of dashes anywhere else. One of these days, I may even try using emdashes and those-other-dashes in the same paragraph just to annoy people.

On Crude Jokes

by Mitsune on January 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm

After a year of comics, and a long break, we’re now in our “second season” – whatever the hay that means – and now we decide to break out the “rogues do it from behind” jokes. Sometimes, I wonder what we’re even doing.

If nothing else, we are certainly keeping our promise of not having a set update schedule! Add to this the fact that I technically have a “job” now (quotation marks mandatory) and practically everything I have ever known is turned on its head. I am not thrilled about the job part, but I’m certain this is only temporary.

Unrelated fact-spam because Aymee’s crude humor is, as ever, unforgivable. In other news: sugar.

Confound these miniature equines, they drive me to write.

Howdy y’all! Back in the saddle, yee-haw! Well – sort of. As Ayms is sure to be tellin’ you up there in the big chair, we ain’t about to commit to no fancy-schmancy “schedule” again just yet. It don’t matter none. Compared to our little nap, we’re fit as pair of fiddles at a barn dance!

Well, as for Mits in the strip, y’can draw your conclusions, yeah? What I will say is this: anything that gets me writing is right proper okay in my book. Acourse there’s more to it’n that, but I ain’t about to preach. If you’re in the know and find yourself over in the right places – such as EqD – it might be that the name Cloudy Skies isn’t unfamiliar to me. Just, well. With all due respect, don’t come crying ‘ter me if it ain’t your speed, is all.

I’m not gonna bore you with much more talk, but I just made something wonderful and awesome sound like a dreary and terrible thing, and that just ain’t right.

Fact is, I feel I’ve learned more ’bout writing in the past four months than I have in all the years that came ‘afore. I’ve met some wonderful people, and I like to think I’ve changed for the better as a person. I’m bloody happy, and I am rearing to write again. Rather, let’s make that “again and still”. Writing’s been all I’ve been doing lately, and now? Season 2 of 4th Wall is here!

And no, I’ve no idea why I wrote that in a horribly mangled not-quite-Southern accent.

Well okay, maybe I do.

In other news: The new house-place-area is awesome, and Delta is the cutest dog ever. She continues to try to get me past my hygiene-related OCDs by washing my face every now and then. Yay dog spittle! Thank you, Delta.

What She Said

No really. No real excuses I guess. Just a big “whoops”, I suppose. I’ve been busy with other projects. Gone through some stuff and come out the other end finding myself suddenly swamped, spending 8-10 hours a day writing and having a blast.

That’s not an excuse either. That’s an update, by the way!

Both Ayms and I have wanted to keep doing this. We both failed at some point. And we both failed again, twice as hard, when we died without a sound.

Hopefully, we’ll be back soon!
