my favorite thing ever when listening to jrwi is to hear charlie say "gillion" right after a someone says his name.

"in the last session, chip, jay, and gillion—"

"gillion! o(｀ω´ )o"

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, an all-new original series starring Michael Cera & the rest of the Scott Pilgrim cast, releasing November 17th only on Netflix.

Me: "I'm an artist I should just MAKE the animation in my head"

The animation in my head: 4 minutes long, full colour, and 24 fps, with several scenes I couldn't draw even unanimated

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

thinking about him (spoilers for jrwi)

thinking about how in atleast 2 scenarios chip has blamed himself more then needed, first with ollie ("i took him from his home") then with gillion ("i gave him the card") and each time he tried to put on a confident face but really it ate away at him inside.

thinking about how gillion is constantly taking on responsibility and chip canonically sees gillion as inspiration (humble beginnings, bizly says the inspo from the future is from gillion tidestrider) and its not like he only takes some blame but usually its all the blame because gillion knows how to acknowledge his faults somewhat.

thinking about how chip takes promises ever so seriously (ie, not even doing simple lies after promising gill that he wouldnt) yet hes such an example of "change doesnt happen overnight" and how he acts can be directly or indirectly related to past adventures and/or trauma (probably even how he copes is atleast somewhat connected to the guy he killed under price).

thinking about how chip grew up looking up to arlin and seeing what a great example of pirates the black rose were and trying to be something atleast somewhat great and feeling like he failed when hes the only one on deck with somewhat an idea of what a pirate is.

thinking about how chip would lie to protect his friends yes but became a lying machine to protect himself before and hid his intents because while he can absolutely trust his crew his instinct is too not because he got used to being on his own and putting himself first and now hes around people (mostly gill) who put themselves before him to help protect him.

thinking about how easily gillion made friends with people on islands and eventually it rubbed onto chip too (ie: gryffin, felipe, etc) as he unlearned the idea that hes alone in a cruel world that only exists to make him suffer and theres a light in everyones life that makes it even just slightly better, no matter the background (main example is gill again).

thinking about how much gillion is willing to sacrifice for his friends and when felipe wanted to stab him every night, it was chip who tried to talk sense into gill because he cares for gillion and (most likely) was worried that felipe may be lying about healing and may full on kill him.

and all these thoughts (and more) make me feel so much when they found the empty rowboat with nothing but ashes and a fiendish smell and gillion starts blaming himself so chip grabs his shoulders and says "its not your fault, you werent the one who made him grab the card" because somewhere in my heart it feels like maybe chip isnt just talking to gill but to the part of himself that keeps on trying to hold onto every wrong hes done, every sin that keeps him up at night, every lie that is amplified in his skull, that he deserves forgiveness and not everything in the world lays on his shoulders.

and with these thoughts, one more comes to mind: chip and gillion are so similar in backgrounds and morals and thats why theyre the ones that break each others walls and misunderstand each other and fight because they probably dont even fucking see it.

ok i think i’m done with this one so

Meet Kenina!

my story and hopefully (if i ever get the skills and time) webcomics main character!

She grew up in a religious group of what is essentially a cult. She is rebellious, and a lil bastard causing all members to despise her, up until one day she was arrested without a reason. She escapes arrest and is flung into a world she never got to see and an ongoing war between a government and the people it neglects. Along the way she discovers that war, and people, are so much more complicated and grey than she could ever imagine

i would love to go somewhere with this story but for now it’s just a fun lil thing to do on my own :)

I just had a small epiphany why you might like other people's art more than your own:

It's the lack of suspension of disbelief.

When you see something someone else has drawn or painted, you take in the content faster than you take in the technical aspects. You experience it as pseudo-real, the same way you stop perceiving animated characters as drawn or book characters as written as you get into the story.

On the other hand, when you yourself have made something, all you see is the machine behind the theater, so to speak. You're probably thinking about lines, shading, coloring in a "does this make sense? Is this the best decision I could have made?"-kind of way.

I think that's also why sometimes, pictures you haven't looked at for a long time starts looking nice to you again, à la: "Hey past-me was unto something! Why can't I replicate it nowadays?". It's probably specifically because you've forgotten the process of making it that you are now seeing it with fresh eyes.

Art is an illusion, but a magician has a hard time tricking themself. So don't be so hard on yourself: it's probably just that you can't see the magic right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

With all this jrwi art I got to know who is your favorite character so far? :)

oh godddd this is tough..... i mean. i'm very clearly biased towards non human characters so gillion is definitely up there... plus he's so autistic coded and a bit of a himbo.... and he's a fish and i really like fishes............. but like, chip has a very interesting story and he's developing and showing his emotions in very interesting ways, and i feel for him. he's a bastard and a clown but he's charming and caring... and jay is so cool and interesting because she seems like the only voice of reason in the group but then she does something crazy insane and you realize that she's as unhinged as the other two if not more.... and she also has some intriguing things in her backstory and im sad it doesn't get mentioned as often as chip's u_u

so um. i like them all so much and they're like "frequently bought together. do not separate", in a sense that their chemistry and interactions are so endearing and wholesome and heartbreaking sometimes that if you remove one of them it shatters the whole thing. and as much as i enjoy story and plot I wish we could get more moments of them just goofing around on the ship or at least talking to each other normally and not about their new destination.... so i can't really pick a favorite

also yes its totally Gillion Tidestrider

my friends love this slimy guy so i drew him for fun even though i don’t watch charlie lol

man
