Reminder to self:
Seeing RGB stand next to actual people is bizarre, not because of the TV head, but because RGB being called a shortass 5′5″ boi and standing next to big ol’ creature folks has caused me to mentally imagine RGB as much shorter than he actually is.
like, i don’t know why i expected this:
it’s funny because i’m the same height as him, so I know EXACTLY how tall 5′5″ is, and that it’s not that terribly short, but this is what i mentally see
lil btch energy, you know?

how did you create a character who kidnaps a child, who is blatantly rude and callous and ambiguous and in a lot of ways untrustworthy so... likeable? I don't find RGB creepy or sleezy at all and I love him even though he's a cad and I feel like he must be a good person or at least I really want him to be one and I don't understand how? I've seen people invent characters who are cool or mysterious that just come off as 'ew' and boring...
Well, first of all thank you so much for being so kind and loving the character so much :’D but I’m really glad you feel that way, because I really wanted RGB to be a grounding character in the story. You don’t know anything about him, but there is something about him that you immediately empathize with; because he is vulnerable. As weird and enigmatic as he is, I’ve wanted from the start to portray someone who is terribly insecure, someone flawed and lost but who is trying to cover that fact up. He’s someone who can be hurt, has been hurt, and is afraid of being hurt. In a lot of ways RGB is one of the most human characters I’ve ever made.
I got 1 task done today. I emptied the big trash can in my bedroom. That's one less fork to deal with.
I have severe executive dysfunction. I've been dealing with it by having myself do one small task a day. So far it's helped a lot. By doing it this way my brain doesn't freak out trying to tackle everything at once.
I got my inspiration for it from this Donald Duck comic:
Emotional Support Television™
I never got over this. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.
Hey, @modmad, I made this RGB figure from polymer clay because I absolutely LOVE TPoH and needed this in my life to sit on my desk. Seriously, your comic is one of the best things I’ve ever read - I adore it so much - the intricacy and cleverness of the characters and plot, the foreshadowing / metaphors I never could have come up with, and the awesome art!!
I made a mini comic as part of my end of school major artwork, along with figures like this, and I referenced TPoH in both my process diary (I annotated the sequence where RGB and Hero escape Click by using the cane to slingshot away) and in the official description of the work.
It ended up getting into a gallery on display, so now your name is listed there as a source of inspiration!!
Thank you for reading this, and I need you to know how much I love what you do. I can’t wait to see where TPoH goes in the future, and I hope you like my rendition of RGB!! :D
For aro/ace writers:
- you don't have to write sex scenes. Tolkien didn't
- you don't have to write romance. Lewis didn't
- you can write very close friendships that have nothing romantic nor sexual in them. Scott Lynch did
- you can write sexual relationships that don't involve romance. Sapkowski did
- you can write romantic relationships that don't involve sex. Pratchett and Gaiman did
Don't let anyone tell you that some kinds of relationships are impossible or that a story must contain some themes. It's your story, write it the way you want
