#424 – Xylic’s reply

Ah! Chapter end!

This next chapter is the last one, eek, so I’ll be taking an update off to get the script in order. I want to make sure I don’t leave any loose ends! Look for the chapter cover to go up on next Friday.

Meanwhile, Lint is in this TGT Webcomics vote-off, and Round 3 actually began this morning, and it gets harder to make it the further along it goes, BUT if you’d like to hear me discuss Lint on another podcast, then vote here (and you can vote every hour if you’re feeling especially vigilant).

Thanks for reading!

    I really hope Bactine doesn't die. I hate becoming emotionally invested in a character just to have them killed off. I don't care about realism so much as something that I started reading for fun doesn't depress me D:

  • yerk
    xylic right arm arm looks odd or is that just me?
  • rachael
    kinda curved, i see ur point, but i like it for some odd reason
  • yerk
    in the 2nd panel.
  • Me
    Man...this is so sad... :'(
    I did not expect her to die...
    I want her to come back...
  • Purenightshade
    Bawwww! So sad!
  • Dani
    The composition of the last panel is beautiful, with the discarded weapons at one end of the room and the two of them with Bactine at the other. It just works so well.

    oh, and *sniff*. it really is a marvelous ending, even if you ended the story right here (not that I'm saying you should, but you could). Perfectly paced, moving from heartwrenching to sadly peaceful, the bittersweet acceptance is palpable.
  • rachael
    omg sang's face in the second panel rips my heart out....
  • Addie
    Let it be!!!??? NOOOOOOOO!!!!! *Wailing Fangirl Cry of Despair!!!!!!!*
    She Can't Diiiieeee!!!!! TT. TT
  • Crowe
    Please don't pull a cheesy stunt and bring her back next chapter...-crosses fingers-
    That always, always happens! Even though I like her character, I don't want it to be that predictable. I actually don't see her as dead yet, as I'm totaly expecting her to come back, because they always do.
  • Anony
    Actually, something I'm sad about - which also often happens in many movies - is that whenever there is a love triangle, or some complicated relationships, the person just dies. This, to me, seems like the "easy way out" for the author who now doesn't have to sort out the relationships, trace the tangled emotions, and write scenes where the characters would actually have to make difficult decisions.

    I absolutely love Lint, and I don't want to say anything bad about it...
    I'm just saying that either way there will be people claiming that the outcome is cheesy.

    *sigh* I really wanted to see a believable resolution emotion-wise though.
  • Falco
    Yeah, normally I'm the first one to complain about dead characters coming back to life, but this time I was rooting for it because I've spent a long time anticipating how they were going to resolve this impossible love triangle, and now it just seems... anticlimactic, or something.
  • Phenoca
    I agree with Falco.
    @Dani: Yes, the discarded weapons add effect.
  • You can talk about cheesy this and cheesy that, or cliched endings, or what "always" happens, but the way I write is I just write what happens. It has to make sense, and it has to have a certain logic. There's a reason Bactine is dead and it isn't because of an old love triangle.

    Still, I'm not finished. Digest the next chapter before you decide whether you like it or not. :)
  • Falco
    One chapter left? Like this page wasn't sad enough already :(
  • Kam
    I don't get the feeling Xylic was blaming Sang. His words are melancholy and full of heart; but it's not pointed.

    There's really nothing to be said, except to hold her hand and stroke her hair.
  • I totally agree... so heart breaking but he was not blaming he was saying she did this FOR YOU accept that gift and lets just grieve!
  • LeafyGreenTerrorist
    : |

    I dunno. It makes me sad...but really, if you think about it...it works better. She and he never would have worked out. I mean, sure, if you bring her back somehow, that's okay. But I'm not saying I hate this. I actually kind of like it. I'm tired of perfect endings.
  • yerk
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! you said died! made it final
  • Kirlily
    ...

    ......

    Beautiful ending, but sad as hell.

  • rachael
    idk i think hell would be more scary than sad... but still, super super super sad..... *cries*
  • spas
    i understand xylic's need to blame sangwine. it's not pretty, but there it is. sangwine's natural feeling of guilt assuages this tendency, plus it's not really sangwine's fault, so they'll end up friends i think. awful about bactine though - how will sang be happy again?
  • Somehow, there's still this nagging feeling in the back of my mind saying,

    "She'll be back, in the next chapter, Bactine will come walking back through that door, smiling, and chastising Sang as she always does."

    That is one bittersweet feeling. I can't say that I like it. It makes me sad. T-T
  • rachael
    yeah lol instead of nobody it's anybody and sang's just sitting there like this OoO
  • Kade
    so sad :(!
  • The fact that you are up against Jennie Breeden from The Devil's Panties and are doing a great job is a testament to your fans :) Keep up the great work.
  • CC
    Guh, so sad...
  • Mad-dawg
