No good one is an Iceberg, hey,
cold to those around you.
Sometimes you can be made that way
by the people who surround you.
Rex is standing, tall and strong,
amongst those others here;
Benji masks a need to get along
with grins from ear to ear.
Lizzie needs to choose her path,
a way to right from wrong.
Rex chose that once, don’t laugh,
before he found his throng.
I particularly like these ones where your rhymes go full ABAB.
I realised that I’d rhymed 5 & 7 by accident and rejigged things so that worked after I couldn’t think of a way to alter 5 & 7…
Museum arc ends
Kai and co. are having fun
While Liz is thinking
What now will she do?
And will we see more of her?
Dear God, I hope so
Seems that Rex has bought nothing and Cleo has lost her book on the snakes , then Lise finishes alone …………….
I don’t know if i’ve already asked for it : when all the other of the team have a natural color , why Benji has green hairs and nose ? I know no dog with such color
Maybe he’s a lycan? 🥁🥁🛎️
Maybe the odd hair color is part of being a hybrid. After all, while red is a ‘normal’ color, the -shade- of red thatf Kai and Kaya ended up with is decidedly not.
Look at it like this they are technically still human, so if you look at the other background characters you’ll notice that a decent amount have funky hair colours, so take the fact they are hybrids and its 100% normal by this worlds standards.
Rex isn’t the type to buy souvenirs and Cleo didn’t find the book as interesting as she thought :p
I got this question before and I plan to answer it, either in an official ask for that series or inbetween chapters. I want Benji to say it xD
Benji: “Two words… Lime Kool-Aid.”
Nice contrast going on here from start to finish. I hope that Lizzie will make some good choices with how she chooses to move on from here.
Thanks ^^ The big standalone panel really drives it home. Now to wait and see if Lizzy makes the right choices in future chapters ^^
I admit I had hoped that Nate would bring her to Kaya, Cleo and the others and talk to them. I still feel that Liz would actually function better and flourish.
I agree Lizzie would benefit from association with Kaya, Cleo, and friends; but, I do -not- think Nate should push her toward them. My opinion is that he did the right thing in showing her the way, and then leaving it up to Lizzie to decide where she wants to go from here.
Now I’m going to disagree here and say: too soon. I think Lizzie is going to need a few days to really settle down emotionally and think over things before approaching Cleo. She’s probably going to want to talk to Cleo alone first too, having Kaya there when she starts to try and make amends with Cleo may be a bit much for her. Cleo introducing her to Kaya will probably come later. She may even talk things over with her parents first before approaching Cleo. From what we’ve seen (and this may be wrong) but it seems the only friends she had were Cleo, Larissa, and….. what’s her name (sorry Robin!). Her options for people she may want to talk to about this are kinda limited at the moment.
The third one is called Dinah :p
I really need to get going with this character cards for the cast page xD
She would definitely be better off in a nice and friendly group, but it was too soon. She would probably have snapped at Kaya in her current state.
That is true, but me being me I would have hoped they would have noticed the state she was in *Shrug*. Plus has anyone mentioned how joyful Cleo’s expression is in Panel One? She looks actually happy for once.
You’re right; that really is a nice expression for Cleo. I suspect seeing that she has truly pleased Kaya, without overdoing the money bit, helps. 🙂
Now, who is going to discover Lizzie next? Her crying is becoming loud enough to be very noticeable. Maybe one of the guards in on the arrest will take pity on her? Maybe she’ll get a part-time job at the museum out of being seen to protect museum property and patrons??
I couldn’t help but think of her as moaning myrtle.
LOL! Loved Moaning Myrtle, book AND movie. 🙂
The next with Lise ? Zuri , Alexis Cheynas , a raptor , a penguin ? A lot of choices ^_^”
Now a raptor hybrid finding Lizzie could be interesting. Kinda sorta related to T-Rex, and therefore possibly interesting to Kaya. Would probably require careful writing to not get things overcomplicated though.
As you suggested, it might make a good cameo spot for someone like Zuri and/or Alexis though. Wouldn’t even need to be a big scene; just someone finding her and escorting her away/home. 🙂
New friend for Lizzie : https://www.deviantart.com/ultravioletbat/art/Beach-Raptor-47958661 ^_^
She’ll move to her group when the trip is over, which is about now. I think it’s best if she’s left alone for a little while, so she can get it out of her system in peace.
Huh, even though Robin himself confirmed that there wouldn’t be a kiss with witnesses at the end, and I truly believed him, I’m still surprised that it didn’t happen, maybe I expected it because it was too predictable, which is also why Robin decided that it wouldn’t happen.
heheh.. Robin is kinda smart that way. 🙂
well, if I confirmed it, it might just be true :p
Jesse’s Adventure:
“…it would be /safer/ to not drive…”
Ooof, how did I get that one wrong xD
She’s not a tree, but she’s realizing she may have been a sap.
“Ba-dum-tish! 🙂
haha, wow xD
Yes. RAWR Kaya, RAWR.
Lizzie has definitely has grown and learned something. But sometimes you just need a good cry.
Now if Kaya can just squeeze a “RAWR!” out of Rex…
Yeah, she needed this.
I guess she just realized the kind of weight she saddled herself with, all because she didn’t question things after she had gotten older.
Oh look, Kai is reading a book, but there doesn’t seem to be an author or title on it
Funny thing about names, they can have distinctly different meanings based on the culture if they are indeed names that seem similar in different cultures. For example in Hawaiian Kai means “Ocean or Sea” but in Gaelic the name means Fiery. Also, Kaya is also derived from the Gaelic language, somewhat, Old Irish draws most of its roots from the Gaelic language and the name Kaya is a female variation of the male name Kyran which means “Dark or Black Hair”
it’s a book about mythology :p
I knew about the Hawaiian meaning, but I thought Kai sounded great so that’s why I picked it, not because of the meaning ^^
That usually is how it is with names when people pick them, or certainly seems that way. Still, I think it is important to know the meanings of names whenever possible, it can potentially lead you to paths with characters you hadn’t considered or even thought about
Sometimes you hit the nail on the head. One example from a short story I tried to write once had a name I just pulled out of nowhere, at one point I looked it up and it’s meaning was basically “the peacemaker, destined to rule, who let’s nothing stop him” which fit his personality perfectly (the “someone’s gotta carry that weight. Might as well be me” kinda guy)
Alright, Benji got a mask!!! Aaand I still want to give Liz a hug. She needs an actual/real friend to talk to and support her.
He just HAD to get a mask. Everyone wanted him to xD
Sense got nothing to say let me tell you a story. When I was 7-8 baking brownies with a babysitter she asked me how much oil does it need and I said.
“One” I thought it was 1 but I looked closer and saw 1/2 then I corrected with “half cup of oil” when she was pouring the oil into the measuring cup I noticed she went over half a cup. When I tried to correct her this little conversation happened
“Um miss”
“What”
“The recipe says 1/2 cup of oil”
“Didn’t you say 1 1/2 cups of oil”
“Yes but-“
“Then it’s 1 1/2 cups”
Then as sweet as you can please dumps all that oil into the mix. An Thirty minutes past she left and my ma got home When ma pulled them out she noticed it was heavier than normal brownies and when I tried them Well less just say it like eating sludge. Nobody wanted to eat the stuff so my ma and brother used them to knock snow off the trees
TLDR adult babysitter didn’t double check a “COOK BOOK” ended up with nasty brownies
well that was just a dumb babysitter if you ask me xD
Always silently question the kid without letting them know. Good for their self esteem AND you don’t end up with heavy brownies :p
Also one time she left me alone because she “didn’t want to deal with me”.
I realize that Blondie’s Heart of Glass also works in this emotional moment (replace love by friendship, and it still about broken hearts that have to go on and not staying with horrible people).
Here some of the lyrics :
♫Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind♫
Oh yeah, that does work here ^^
The walking tree… ok. Most trees don’t walk.
Now I’m thinking about those walking trees in Lord of the Rings xD
Dwarf: “In my time I’ve seen a dragon, Ogres, Rock Giants, and ghosts that can kill what look at ya, and you mean ta tell me that trees can walk and talk? Unnatural!”
Hobbit: “Heh, you Ent seen nothing yet.”
You’re nasty. 😉
The penguins.
They haunt my dreams.
Out of curiosity, what tropes help define Nate?
Too late, Nate found out Elizabeth was a wood nymph hybrid.
