>check Paranatural for the first time in fuck idunno 10 years?>it's prose nowDid his wrist fucking fall off or something?
>>151733593Post more pictures of that guy!
aaaaAAAAAAARRRGRGGHHHHHHH
bad prose at that. sub fanfic tier writing.
>>151733593Forgot about this comic. Checked the archives and the last comic page was posted on September 17th 2021, then it went prose with a couple drawings.Shame his glass wrist finally gave out, but the comic had also kinda gone to shit during the interminable dodgeball arc.
>>151733717based wristposter
>ParanaturalNow that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. It’s fascinating how /co/ gets obsessed with certain properties, and then, a few years later, they’re so forgotten they might as well never have existed.
So him and MorbiAny others?Cope floated the idea once and I probably would have killed myself if she did
What does prose mean again?
>>151733975Cope's prose isn't bad at least. She might do it after Book 2 if there's more story she wants to tell, or split Book 2 back into 2+3 again with 3 being prose. At least her excuse would be old age by then. I was much more frightened when she floated the idea of a scrolling comic format for phonefags.
>>151733897>interminable dodgeball arcYou say that only because the author was posting a single page per WEEKWhen you read the chapter as whole it's really good
>>151733593I know. The web comic had fallen apart over the years.
>>151733593Berate every webcomic creative who tells you they're doing this, call them useless pieces of shit who should just illustrate other people's scripts from now on. Make it clear they were never serious about their craft. in other words treat them like a writer
>>151733593I checked the comic recently. My goodness, Morrison went off the deep end.It used to be a funny paranormal adventure comic and now it's just endless pages of drivel.Also, everyone is gay now, because of course.
>>151733593>Did his wrist fucking fall offIf he's jerking off this hard with his prose obviously not
>>151733593I hated this shit when it was "good".
Never enter a relationship with a they/them, /co/.
>>151735629>Also, everyone is gay now, because of course.I just skimmed backward from the latest page and you weren't kidding. I also forgot how blobby the art got.
>>151736199Nobody asked
>>151736236Took me a sec to realize who that was supposed to be.
>>151736236What the hell?
>>151735629Most people are gay. Exclusive heteronormativity is an artificial anomaly propped up by fascism.
>>151734049It served no purpose.
>>151736236Genuinely don't understand how this happens when it's always such an unpleasant and jarring addition to any story. Like it's just kids doing anime battle shit with ghosts and all of the sudden we have to stop and have a lecture about pronouns and gender identity, and the people who were there for the story and action vanish and the people who overhype that shit weren't reading in the first place, but DEAR GOD do they love to run their mouths about how amazing it is that this creator put a child in drag and gave him "they/them" pronouns.
>>151736662Most people from 2010s art communities are severely mentally ill because they chose to people-please without principles and now their emotions are in an endless incestuous mess of group therapy
>>151734049>You say that only because the author was posting a single page per WEEKBrother, there are comics with literal glacier pacing, posting pages per month if you're lucky, yet those actually progress the story. That dodgeball arc was ETERNAL, and went nowhere.
>>151736236This hurt me physically, like i used to like these characters, i used to care about them and their misadventures...This is literal butchering.
>>151736662>Most people are gay.Back your argument with a source.
Does it hurt you, knowing that in the end the social conservatives were right, and keep being proven right, over and over?
>>151733593holy shit it's literally a picture book now
>>151736894You ever jerked off?oh, so you have manipulated a penis for your own sexual pleasure, sounds PRETTY gay to me!
>>151736680>kids doing anime battle shit with ghostsI'm not saying that all these comics went the same way but Gunnerkrigg, Paranatural, and Homestuck all went to shit and totally forgot (or maybe didn't know) that the fucking story was about kids and fun. I feel like that should have been written on a piece of fucking tape and put on top of the monitor so that every day before you sit down in front of the computer/tablet to draw the comic you have to remember that you're making a story about kids and fun.No story that goes "hey look at me I'm straight, oh boy I'm straight, I'm going to talk about my straight pronouns" is any good. If you're going to talk about your sexuality in your fucking story it had better include conversations about or acts of sex because otherwise it doesn't fucking matter. If these kids are going off about what their sexuality is I had better get some sex in that. Spender and Garcia don't talk endlessly about being fucking gay, which means we don't have to include any scenes of them having sex.
>>151737142>GunnerkriggGunnerkrigg is just fucking BORING at this point because Tom is apparently addicted to anticlimaxes. God forbid some serious drama and towering stakes get in the way of your silly little ironic chungus character moments, am I right? Nobody has even fucking died since, what, Mort? Gunnerkrigg is a gag comic masquerading as a work of drama.
>>151733593it pulled a poppy'o'possum?
>>151737185I stopped reading Gunnerkrigg when the two Annies first appeared. It was fucking boring then I seriously think the people who populate the thread and manage to talk about it for all this time are simply insane. Legitimately mentally unable to understand higher level storytelling not to say the bar is that fucking high but Gunnerkrigg hasn't crossed that bar in at least ten years.I can't imagine how fucking stupid you have to be to read Gunnerkrigg let alone talk about it in a threat three times a week.
>>151737466What's funny is that the two Annies arc is now basically considered the last fun one. Not gonna say you jumped off too early because the resolution left a bitter fucking taste in people's mouths, but it was basically the last time the comic started to actually feel fun again for a while. Since then it's been boring as fuck like the other guy said and I only keep up with it at all out of habit.
Friendly reminder that the creator learned that people on 4chan liked his comic and the huge tonal heel-turn was specifically done out of spite because he had a vague idea of what 4chan even was. Nigga literally tossed his own work in the garbage just because some people he didn't like in an imaginary sense were enjoying it. Fucking mental.
>>151737524I heard that Two Annies was fun from people here and I will admit that kind of stupid shit opens the doors to a lot of incredible story opportunities that even if stupid can be incredibly entertaining but I can't go back and read it.When I say I can't imagine what kind of person engages in those threads I mean that but obviously those people exist and I can't imagine who they are in person. I have never met people so horribly broken that they engage with such a horrible product out of habit. I mean how do you go through life and not find something better, better enough that you stop reading something that has so little stakes as Gunnerkrigg.>>151737563>learned that people on 4chan liked his comic and the huge tonal heel-turn was specifically done out of spiteI know he started to fucking hate us on 4chan but I can't imagine he murdered his own comic out of spite that is totally insane. Nobody fucking writes dodgeball to spite someone - that is simply incompetence and at best mimicing Dragon Ball. "I wrote the dodgeball arc to spite 4chan" - actual insanity.
>>151737219Difference being that Poppy stopped updating almost immediately after switching.
>>151737607I just read the update in the morning from my feed and move on, haven't posted in the actual threads in years now. Again it's really just sheer habit from me, it's just kind of... there. Like how you might read a.Sunday funnie but it's Gunnerkrigg.Holy shit typing that out really made me realize how far it's fallen. Damn.
>>151736596>What the hell?The TL;DR is that the artist got a girlfriend that is a crazy yaoi fangirl.This completely shifted his personal life and the goals of the webcomic.
>>151737642I understand you read it out of habit but the point is that it's a bad habit. It's not doing you any good reading it or even reading the shitty Sunday morning comics. Newspaper comics have been shit longer the Gunnerkrigg has existed.If you had someone in your life to share Gunnerkrigg or whatever shitty habit you have; I think that is a good reason to keep enjoying that shitty habit. It's like drinking or smoking - you do that shit with people and if you don't, you don't do it. But personally I know nobody who likes or hates Gunnerkrigg, I can't get any value out of reading it. And the people in the Gunnerkrigg thread are just too fucking damaged to actually talk about the comic critically because I've tried.Even this conversation is good and enjoyable until you realize you and I have read something like 10 fucking years of Gunnerkrigg to be able to have it and we won't have anything past this thread.
>>151736236is that Stone Free?
>>151736236> Never enter a relationship with a they/themQRD on what happened?
>>151733962If they turn to shit it's obvious that people lose interest and don't mention it to others.
>>151737683This doesn't make any sense when there were two gay boys in the comic, why the fuck would they turn a main character into a they/them
>>151737466A character being copied in a fantasy comic where that character has problems of split loyalty or feeling they don't belong is a cool way to explore that part; I especially liked how they kind of hated each other (Annie is kind of a cunt, actually).But then they just merged or something and nothing happened(tm)
>>151737563>>151737607He already knew 4chan liked his comic before that. He did that much later to show off to his clique on twitter. I'm pretty sure he never removed the shoutout to 4chan he put in the alt-text of a page, in reference to this place being the first to figure out the spirit language.
>>151737142>GunnerkriggMore like Gunnershit Fail.
Yet when Kat and Paz were confirmed to be lesbians, that shit got like several threads in succession, which were unheared at the time for gunnerkrigg threads. Explain why that shit was popular with co but not this
>>151738816He certainly liked the fact we figured out the alphabet, and the comic did not fucking suck at that moment because.Whether he changed his mind about 4chan is unknown. If he came here at all he would have heard how much we fucking hated what he was doing with the comic but we have no evidence he was watching past figuring out the alphabet. Regardless, the story just went to total fucking shit, like just straight up fucking up exactly like Homestuck by introducing a billion fucking characters.
>>151738927>introducing a billion fucking charactersThe Student Council generals started out being a joke about series introducing too many characters and shounen boss rush tropes which Max shot down with a big "I DON'T CARE," and now Zach has actually introduced them as characters for real
>>151736236This is fake right it's just a meme right please tell me Ed is ok. I love me my goofy glasses boys and all his lame lil anime refs
>>151738816Reminder to all would-be comic artists: True fans will never ask you to sabotage your own work to earn their approval.
>>151738898I've never read Gunnerkrigg so I can't say how it was handled, but characters being gay or black or whatever by is rarely the problem by itself. Most people don't care about that.But I dropped Paranatural when I found myself annoyed and bored reading about some side character spending weeks of updates talking about his feelings of being a girl out of nowhere in this dumb anime parody ghost mystery/action comic.
Cody wears a lame-o mask as president of SC.SC 12 generals are espectrals as well.
>>151734001Every character becoming nonbinary, apparently
>>151736391Holy shit is that real
>>151737185>already forgot Omega
>>151737185Omega got fridged like 3 pages ago, anonit was kinda anticlimactic, yea
