Fantasy High - Blog Posts
I've never made a post like this, but I've had the thought of doing it for a while, so here goes nothing...
These are all the webcomics I'm currently reading!(And why I think you might like them!)
Fantasy High by Dimension 20 & Denaseey
I'm a huge fan of Dropout, and especially Dimension 20. Now, there's an accessible version of the first campaign that pretty much anyone can read and enjoy. from what's been released so far, It's definitely an abridged version of the story, so don't expect it to hit every single point of the campaign. However, it's still a great version of the story. High recommend if you're a fan of the series or just D&D in general.
Clown Corps by Joe Chouinard
This is everything a guy, gal or etc could ask for in a clown-based action series. It's exciting, it's hilarious, and it gets surprisingly deep in the further you get into it (the standard process for most webcomics). If you love clowns, I cannot recommend this enough.
Yellow Brick Ramble by Daisy McGuire
I've always loved the classic Oz books (Or at least the first 3), so I was already sold on a series that took the trans subtext of Ozma and just removed the sub- prefix. However, what I didn't expect was how genuinely close the writing feels to the original story. I'm being genuine when I say there were certain points where I paused reading and went "Wait...Was that from the book?" And, I gotta say, if you're writing for Oz is so good that I genuinely can't tell what's original and what's from L. Frank Baum himself, I'd say you did a pretty good job. High recommend if you love the original books.
Emmy the Robot by Dominic Cellini
This is my current favorite webcomic. Full-stop. I'm a massive fan of robots, and this comic scratches that itch so hard that it's become a rash. The entire atmosphere of it, from the characters to the story, gives me such a warm feeling that I haven't felt since I was a kid. It feels like the lost Pixar movie I've never seen but's always been with me. I might be overselling it a bit, but the point still stands that I love it. The only minor nitpick I might have is it takes a little bit to get to the real conflict, since the first 50 issues, give or take, are mostly just setup and slice-of-life. Though, I personally don't mind that. Huge recommend for pretty much everyone. If it doesn't seem interesting to you, I don't know what to say, man. Can't help you...
So...How'd I do?

Adaine abernant my beloved
Cathilda overhears a conversation between Hallariel and Fabian’s father. Spoiler alert: it’s not Bill Seacaster. … Fabian Aramais Seacaster is the son of the Sea God, and Hallariel ensures that he will never, ever know it while Bill lives.
a vaguely-pjo-based au where fabian is the son of poseidon, and this changes nothing and everything. and poseidon misses his kid
I’m watching bit compilations of the Fantasy High campaign(s) for Dimension 20 at the minute, and I’m watching one for Junior Year ep 16, and I love …
There’s a bit where some of Kipperlilly’s motivations for hating the party are revealed, and it’s revealed that she’s jealous that Riz’s father was killed, because she wants a cool and tragic backstory and thinks that her lack of it has kept her back at the adventuring academy while they had an advantage. And Siobhan, as Adaine, without batting an eye:
“And her response to that was to be mad at us, and not to kill her parents?”
To which the others respond … Okay, Adaine, that’s the sociopath test! And just general slightly spooked humour.
And I just love that … You can really see the girl who on her first day at school had a fight break out on top of her and wound up killing a lunch lady with a ladle. You can see the girl who did have to kill her abusive father after he casually murdered her sister. This is all coming from trauma, but she puts such a casual … Like, girl, get with the program on it. There’s such disdain for Kipperlilly whining about it instead of actually doing something.
I love that it is genuinely mostly a joke, she’s not seriously advocating for murder here, but it also does say quite a bit about Adaine. About her trauma and her pragmatism and her lingering perfectionism and her rather enforced nonchalance about the potential necessity of parent murder and her distinct attitude that if a problem presents itself, then you fix it, doing whatever you have to do in the process.
There’s just a sense that, you know, if Kipperlilly has decided to be evil and has decided that she’s fine with killing people, which we have proof she has, why is she not going with the logical solution to her problem? If you have decided that you’re fine with murdering people and that morality is no longer a stumbling block, why are you not doing the most efficient thing to solve your stated problem? If you’re going to be evil, be better at it.
Adaine would be an absolutely terrifying bad guy. And also probably needs more counselling.
SPEAK NOT OF THE NIGHT YORB
holy FUCK gang

god, every episode of fantasy high live i think to myself “wow, this is the best and most exciting episode ever, nothing can ever get close to this” and think about it all week until the next episode where i think the exact same thing and now i wonder if ill ever accept the fact that fantasy high is a consistently great show and i don’t have to shield myself from potential disappointment because it knocks it out of the park every time
pop quiz! in this episode fig faeth _______:
throws a crustacean party
indulges in the teen rockstar life
tried to eat a random mushroom off the ground to get high
gets her contractually backed kisses in with ayda
is served legal papers from a judicial servant of hell
peels her pee-stained father out of the tire well of a van
answer: it’s all of them. emily axford is a bag of loose radioactive particles kept together by her drive to kill brennan and sheer glee
i was gonna make a goofy haha post but emily shouting “choke on grapes bitch” is so much more funny than anything i could type that it was like she broke into my house and knocked all the teeth from my mouth
fabian: dances the night away with a silken elven sheet
me, thinking about how he shut down gortholax when he talked about how most of the best blood rush players were also ballerinas: oh how the lunchtables have turned
ragh boning down for the first time with an elf is great, but now i need the thistlesprings giving him a binder and a firm talking-to about sexual health
instead of corn or philosophy students, i propose a new spirit guardian form that combines the deadliest aspects of ally and kristen possible: beyblades and ribbon dancers
it’s been a rough night, but chungle-down bimothy is keeping me afloat
i desperately want isabella infierno to actually be a real succubus, because only witchcraft could take away sophias husband
Cassandra playlist!
Decided to make a collection to songs that describe the current dynamic being held with Kristen, super open to anything that should added in or removed + will keep working on it ^^
I saw you again in a dream, or maybe it was a nightmare
Thinking about the Bad Parents this episode because like, imagine your child, who's constantly burdened with the fate of the world, comes to you after school and says it's not enough. That they have to take the Last Stand exam and it's tomorrow. You have no time to take time off work to be with them, to be able to wait for them when they get home.
And then the next day you say goodbye in the morning, you kiss them on the head and tell them you love them. But you know that the next time you see them they will have died. You know that all the day you're at work, your child is fighting for their life in a drastic last stand. How do you focus with that knowledge? How do you move on, wondering if your child is already dead? That while your working or doing chores, your child could be lying on a sandy flood, dead, while all their friends fight for their lives?
How do you move past it? How do you live out that day?
