In this musical-filled episode, when Greg received a $10 million check from Marty, he and Steven, along with Pearl, take a trip to Empire City. But during the trip, Pearl lets out her emotions in song, which upsets Greg, and Steven has to patch things up. “Mr. Greg” premiered on this day, 5 Years Ago.
*REUPLOAD*
A 21 page comic, the rest is under the cut.
Okay maybe I’m an idiot and I got the upload correct the first time. Maybe. I’m sorry. I spent so long on this and panicked at the idea of having sent the wrong one. I’m also an idiot because I didn’t save the text I wrote. And finally I forgot I could have put in the 1 missing panel instead of straight up deleting the entire post.
I wanted to do something based on Together Again, after Finn’s death, covering Marceline and Bubblegum, and some of their thoughts on their relationship with time. Some of their fears that might have been knocked around by Finn’s loss, especially Marceline.

breath of the wild is one of the BEST games i have ever played in my life. it’s very cool that you’re playing and enjoying it too (also urbosa is a babe)
Im veeerrryyyy slowly completing the game, but so far I like it a lot!!!! I don’t know who Urbosa is yet (i assume its a character from the game).
So a few months ago, I was absent-mindedly scrolling on Tumblr (or was it Twitter?) when I came across something: an Adventure Time fan comic by an artist named loycos. As a person embedded in fan spaces, I find fanart like this all the time, but this time, there was something special about the art I was seeing. It was so… show-accurate!
I don’t mean that necessarily in regard to the art style (although it does feel right at home in the Land of Ooo, while still being its own thing with its own flourishes), but rather in relation to the characterization; the way loycos wrote the characters was spot on. She nailed PB and Marceline’s dynamic as former lovers who deep-down miss one another. She nailed Finn’s naive heroism and his one-sided crush on PB. She nailed Jake’s goofball energy. It was perfect.
In the past, I’ve only interviewed people affiliated with the show’s production, but I thought I’d mix things up a bit and reach out to some fan artists that I think are fantastic. As such, I’m delighted to share with you an interview I had with loycos, who answered my questions about her art, her history with Adventure Time, and where her work is headed!
What is your ‘artistic origin’ story?
[It’s] kind of a corny answer, but I’ve been drawing since I remember myself. My earliest drawing memories are drawing Clifford (the big red dog) fanart when I was around 5 y/o. I was always more of a “fangirl” artist, [and] I would draw characters from my favorite franchises to illustrate my headcanons and daydream scenarios I’d put them in. That hadn’t changed one bit since. I had since gone on to study animation and illustration in official institutions which forced me to design characters and worlds of my own, but when I draw for myself it’s always back to fanart (or studies). I don’t have any OCs.
Are there particular artists or styles that you were inspired by and/or like to emulate or allude to?
I’d joke that my artstyle is just a mesh of all the franchises I’ve drawn fanart for over the years, but honestly, is it even a joke? I think you can easily recognize I had a Disney Phase like every other teenager (I didn’t have an anime phase though! I know, I’m an anomaly) and [Steven Universe] definitely left it’s fat mark on my style too. Out of [Steven Universe]’s storyboarding crew (which I followed very closely over the years) I especially love Raven Molisee and Jeff Liu for their wacky expressions and proportions, and of course Rebecca Sugar for their fluid and carefree lines. When it comes to art in general, I tend to prefer stylized, colorful and brushy styles over realistic or gothic ones, So people like Hue Teo and Patri Balanovsky pop to my mind (and my artstation feed, seriously look them up).
How do you approach your projects; what is your general art process?
It really depends on the type of project I’m doing, though, my [Adventure Time] comics were all pretty similar in their conception: I write down all of my ideas in my notes so I won’t forget them. Then I either roughly sketch out the entire comic as fast as I can, or I write a script (if the concept is specifically very dialog heavy) and then sketch it roughly. Then I do the lineart and color, nothing too complicated. The one thing I think is worth noting in my long comic process is that I draw all of my panels on the same document- that way it’s easier for me to make sure the characters stay on model and that my panel layout remains fresh. So basically, the way you read the comics on tumblr, as a long scroll, is the format I work on.
How did you come to find Adventure Time? What made you join the fandom?
Adventure Time is one of those shows you just know about, so I don’t remember how I first found out about the show. However, I do remember when I started shipping Bubbline—after the episode “Broke His Crown” aired. I somehow ended up in their Tumblr tag and was blown away by the (by 2016’s standards) blatant representation. Despite my obsession with them at the time, I never actually watched any episode that didn’t feature the girls’ relationship. I only started fully watching the show recently. But I did consume a lot of fan content, which I think helped me shape my own headcanons and such. After my initial interest in 2016 I put Bubbline back on the back burner and kept on my [Steven Universe] ramage, until last year’s “Obsidian,” which brought me back fully on board the Bubbline decks around 2 weeks before it aired, so I was in maximum hype mode when I watched the special. It did not disappoint [and it] really reminded me of why I loved these characters and their relationship to begin with. I started drawing my own art for the ship shortly after, when I felt like the hype around the special died down and there wasn’t much to keep me sustained anymore. I make what I want to see ;)
As for joining the fandom, I don’t know if I can be considered a member, seeing how inactive I am most of the time and my very limited list of [Adventure Time] mutuals. I am extremely flattered that my stuff caught ATimers attention in a positive way.
You’ve done some amazing Bubblegum and Marceline stuff. What draws you to their dynamic?
I’m gay.
OK, seriously now. I have a soft spot for extremely feminine, dainty characters that are very reserved, so PB immediately marked herself as an obvious fav, and the road to shipping her with Marceline (who is such an obvious candidate and a multilayered, fascinating character herself) was a short one. I know calling PB dainty is far from a true statement, but that’s what she appeared like on the surface and that’s what caught my attention. Another thing is that I love relationships between immortal beings, I think it always adds another layer of complexity to any relationship, especially a romantic one. The whole “getting older without appearing like you’ve aged” and “watching everyone you love die around you while you stay the same” can surely make 2 beings bond, right? It always felt like PB and Marcy get each other in a way no one else can, they are very different on the surface but share fundamental internal similarities. Oh, and the fact that they’re EXES? The romantic tension and the longing? The familiarity and banter they had in every scene they shared?This hit the jackpot on literally every relationship trope that I love. I’d much rather watch a “getting back together” than a “falling in love for the first time” story.
All of this and the fact that they [are] gay. It’s really that simple sometimes.
In broad strokes, what is next for you as an artist and/or as a fan?
I have a few [Adventure Time] comics ideas\scripts on the back burner and one that is in the making. I think I’ll dabble into some Nintendo fanart cause I’ve been playing a lot of Smash Bros and [Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild] lately.
I’m so excited to see what comes next! Either way, a huge thanks to loycos for chattin’ with me! If you’d like to check out more of her art, visit her Tumblr and her Twitter page!

So, as a well known connoisseur of complicated parental figures in fiction, do you have any thoughts on Blight parents?
I’m not really impressed so far. TOH often introduces very one noted mini villains and even the more complex ones were handled kind of crudely. Mrs. Blight so far seems like the first type, Mr. Blight seems like the second. That being said, I think this season will be better than the last one so I’ll keep watching and see if the Blights improve over the course of the season.

i can't find it, but i remember you answered an ask about how pink/rose is more complicated a character than people on here with ever really understand, and it's something i deeply appreciate. whenever su was just begining i liked rose just fine, but as the series went on i came to appreciate her a little more, and seeing your thoughts on rose/pink were such a welcome change to "pink is the shittiest person ever and the true villain of the series" takes that plagued the su fandom. i'm not saying anyone should be forced to like a character at all, but it is just frustrating to see people say they love complicated female characters but whenever one shows up making real, relatable mistakes and acting like an actual person people turn into "this person is a demon incarnate and if i had crops they would have destroyed them"
I dont have much to add but “yeah man”. I still hold the opinion that PD is the most complex character in SU, and shes made even more interesting because we never get to hear her story from her POV. Its always being told by other people, who have their own biased view of her. She’s truly the most tragic character I’ve seen in any cartoon. If you wanna read extremely interesting takes on her, you should check out @faelapis, hes one of my favorite SU analysis blogs.

love your lilith and king comic with king being there to comfort her, but did you ever expect hootie would be the one to be friends with her? i certainly didn’t 😂
I actually did consider it! Not to a point of making a full blown comic about it, though. Im just glad she found a friend.
Anonymous asked:
Are you excited for more owl house?
Yeah! I’ve seen the new episodes already and found that they already seem to improve a lot of things from the first season. I think this season will be better than the last.
aut2imagineart asked:
Since the ending of Steven Universe has there been any other shows that inspired you to make art?
Adventure Time (I’m slowly fully catching up to it) and The Owl House are the two i spent the last year making fanart for. I also got a switch a few months ago, its my first ever console, and I’ve been grinding Smash Bros (its the reason ive been so inactive lately) so art of my 2 mains will inevitably come too.

Hello! I don't know if you ever got this ask before, but who do you think wear the pants in the relationship, Bubblegum or Marceline?
Def PB. i think Obsidian showed that her current self is trying very hard to break out of that habit.
Anonymous asked:
So I just saw your comic of PB accidentally proposing to Marceline. Would be too much to ask for a sequel please?
I’m not planning to make a direct sequel. i might go back to this point in the timeline, though.
