Update: “Banned from Having Fun” No More

Welp.

With the help of the (thankfully) neutral father, I’ve negotiated myself out of being banned from drawing.

The fucking things you say in the heat of the moment. Granted, Mom has really never approved of me and the tablet. But at least I got her to lift the ban (She was serious, BTW). I even got an apology, which hasn’t happened in over 7 years. Yes, I remember. ._.

So. Everything’s okay (except for a more personal issue that I won’t discuss here). Expression is victorious once again.

Buh. I’m tired. And now a long-delayed Diaries update is even more delayed. Splendid.

I finished the update. It’s scheduled to auto-post at 3:00 EST later today (12 hours from now).

Unless you night-dwellers and peeps who live on the other side of the world want to see it first. :P

I have always maintained the philosophy of drawing as anatomically correct as possible.

BUT THIS ONE POSE. UGH!

*flipping tables*

Ever since “Magic Duel” and the [SPOILER], I’ve debated whether to change the way magic was theorized to work in PC.

Instead of the “works as is” mentality, I’m changing it to “adapts and combines.”

Meaning that magic can infinitely do anything, as long as the right spells are found, cooked up, or written. In PC, this means that AS (the formally magical wing disease that Scoots an Rumble have) is no longer definitely incurable. The cure is simply yet to be found, and real treatments can now be tested.

On that note, I’ll explain what happened to Rumble in Manehattan, since I rushed through that too fast.

Basically, a surgeon approached Thunderlane while he was waiting from Rumble who was getting his stomach pumped. He explained the situation with Rumble’s wings, saying that now is the opportunity to enter a testing trial for a treatment for AS. It involved an WIP spell-combo, and a wing reconstruction. Naturally, being the good brother, Lane approved it.

I’ll need to draw about that soon. And I will.
