Next Comes Spite.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

A greeting for negligent penpals and procrastinating authors. Postcard from my collection, 1911.

Some personal design notes I made for comics speech bubbles and on dialogue!

Conclusions were drawn from their dialogue sounds and manner of speech in general in addition to my personal flair and interpretation.

And here's an incomplete list of mental notes on actually writing dialogue for characters:

Curly

expresses genuinely what he feels and what he means, though he's reserved and leaves a lot unsaid

casually playful and whimsical when talking to others or commenting on things

smooth talker

speaks delicately and de-escalatory when faced with a stressful situation

using british slang on occasion, yeah?

Anya

often encouraging or reassuring those she talks to

teasing, witty and playful with anyone not named jimmy

stutters when speaking to those named jimmy but outside of that, speaks smoothly with enthusiasm

speaks with implications, basically says iconic deep meaningful shit in a non-direct way

Swansea

mean, harsh, sarcastic and taunting

like anya, he says some deep shit but in a poetic and direct way

reminds me of Disco Elysium dialogue in terms of vibes

speaks grandiosely

" ain't, goin', el capitano, downstairs longnose, hear hear, ol' codger, rumb-a-tumblin' " very fun to write

Daisuke

unfocused, emphasizes words, informal

speaks at the same time as he thinks, most of his dialogue feels like a stream of thoughts

filler words like, totally like everywhere man

Jimmy

dry, spiteful and bitter remarks, always sounds like he's annoyed at everything

no whimsical or heartfelt comments about anything

uses metaphors and veils his words, spinning them in ways to fit his goals. twists his own words as well as others'

steals phrases from others

persuasive

Merry Christmas!!!!

And Happy Holidays!

And here's what it would look like without the ghosts

3. Cold Reactor — Everything Everything

We made the mountain bigger Though we had forgotten why It's a dream I'm in with you It wakes me in the middle of the night I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor

Ugh I listened to this song an insane amount this year (naturally, since it’s number three)!! These drawings are a little sneak peek at a dbhc PMV/animatic project I started several months ago that I recently picked up again! It started (and still is) on mumbo’s playlist as a “looking back on Season 8” kind of song, but the more I listened to and thought about it, the more it quickly became a “all of dbhc season 8 retrospective” :]
