PFM ON BREAK

Finished chapter 23! I (gob) will be taking a break from drawing for a short bit. Gonna play Deltarune, read manga, sleep a little more, then get back to drawing at a more relaxed pace to prepare for updating again. Also, I might be AFK for a few weeks. Thanks for your Patience!

    Dad is seriously one of the greatest characters in all of fiction.

    This is the coolest thing done so far in this comic, since the first ( but more specifically, the 8th episode ) I’ve been waiting for the “true face” character breakdown, taking into account where all of this originally comes from, there has been this lingering feeling of “there is more to it than meets the smile” and “much remains to be said/shown”, which I understand that you can’t just immediately reveal from the get-go, but instead need to provide some initial build up.

    This episode had both comedy and tragedy well blended onto each other, I felt bad for pas, knowing how cynical and how much of an emotional mess the original one was (with that monster of a “dad”, no wonder) that sooner then later the audience/readers would be exposed to her “mask” crumbling the moment she was by herself in her room, then smirked like a wicked maniac when she pulled a “shinji”.

    Well done.

    That’s funny how it seems like she almost realized she’s not who she thinks she is. She’s like a fusion of their personalities, I’m excited to see where this goes.

    God, the self-hatred/shame spiral is too relatable. This is really well done, and I can’t wait to see where it leads.

      Also, I like that we’re seeing both a connection and a contrast to the original here. Original Pasq couldn’t stop dumping his shit all over his friends, and put them in the position of never being able to lean on him because he constantly needed support. Current version apparently bottles it up, hiding it from her friends and denying them the chance to support her. Two completely different ways of dealing with anxiety/depression/self-doubt, both equally unhealthy, both extremely real. I’ll always be impressed by how well you guys portray mental illness.

        Oh wow, thinking about the similarities between the two Pasqs led me to a thought. I don’t know if OG Pasq felt the same anxiety about becoming a third wheel to Ally and Tubsy. He was always outwardly supportive of them. But if he did, it would explain something I’ve wondered for a long time–why the reshaping of the world into one designed to make him happy kicked off with Tubsy’s death. Without Tubsy, Pasq got Ally’s time and attention all to himself. Two best buds against the world! What if, deep down, he wanted that more than he wanted Tubsy to be alive?

        Not that I think he harbored any real malice. Given the option, I don’t think he would have knowingly consented to most or any of the awful things Aurora did, even if they would ultimately make him happier.

    I swear to God Gob, if anything bad ever happens to Pasqualo or Allison again, I will get in my car, drive all the way out to where ever the fuck is is you live, wait in hiding until the last of the lights in your house finally go out at night, kick your front door the fuck in, march right up to you, look you dead in the eye, and cry like the little bitch that I am. Do you think you can live with that?

    Fuck. This hit me hard.
    I really related to a lot the things in It Hurts!!, but nothing quite came close to my own personal experience of this. This hits the nail on the head and just outright SAYS exactly how I feel like 90% of the time, but don’t tell anyone for fear of them not being able to handle it just dumped on them.
    Black bananas are the best version of a banana! They’re just ripe, not rotten and they are really sweet. The best Banana Bread I make is made with black bananas and everyone thinks its gross how long I leave them BUT IT’S NOT! That’s the exact amout of time you should leave them and I refuse to back down on this topic. Why would the blackness of the skin even matter? You use the inside which is fine no matter how black the skin is. Maybe if they just fucking opened the banana and looked at how soft and sticky it is now it’s properly ripened they’d get it but no they just look at it and go “Eugh it’s black that means it’s rotten” like every food acts exactly the same way as it ages. You know what colour most other food goes when it’s mouldy? WHITE OR GREEN. NOT BLACK. You would think with the amount of times I’ve made banana bread they’d maybe think I know what I’m talking about but no that never happens. You know what else? You can eat black bananas out of the peel too and they taste great! Yeah they might have gone a little too soft to eat them easily but it doesn’t change the fact they taste really good. As long as they’ve not turned to liquid inside the skin there’s no problem. Christ.

    If Dad doesn’t also edit the audio so that at the very end it sounds like Pasqualo says “AnD ALso I easy My oWn Faaarts” I will be sorely disappointed in him.
