Did ya notice I totally redid that middle panel while I was at work? I was looking at it going...Something doesn't work here... Then I erased it and redrew it. I like how it looks now a lot better. ^_^ Thanks, sweetie.
HEY GUEST FUCK YOU! I may not have wanted Rukia and Candy to end this comic this way, but i think it's rather a beautiful way to end it, if this is in fact the end. It's not bad, i like the page, i like it okay, not all romances have to end so sweetly... this is not a squandered oppurtunity, it's the way Rukia wanted it, and if Rukia wants them dead fine, but we don't know if they're dead yet, so i reiterate, don't go making up the conclusion. We haven't seen THE END yet.
@Riley: Actually i'm hearing hawthorne heights Blue Burns orange...
EDIT: I apologize for my language. It was spur of the moment, and i really didn't like what the guest person had to say...
Oh dearie me. I do so hope they are not dead, although that apears to be the case. *worried eyes*
Oh, and Guest, don't be a jerk. She already _said_ the ending was planned out beforehand, not a "rushed, 10-page emo-fest". You obviously need something better to do than meaninglessly flaming a perfectly good comic. I do believe you are despicable. *glares balefully*
No matter how much sad endings suck. That is a good ending for this comic. It just is.....
Oh and Guest makes me angry..... very very very angry... Why isn't there a way to delete comments like that? There should be. I think Guest is just making horrible comments because they are jealous of your wonderful art.
*laughs* Well...I don't feel like I need to say much at all to Guest...I believe you all handled that beautifully! LOL.
revan-kun: *pats on the back* Shuu shuu.. All things must come to an end!
Riley-san: Thank you! I'm glad you like it!!
Littie: It's okay to be a little confused! Just stay with me to Destinies & I'll explain there. Just gotta be patient with me.
Ah...Guest. What a needless comment to post when I already knew what you were going to say? Mm.
Jude: *laughs* You kill me boy, love ya. And yeah, it's the end...um, lessee.. the page 400 is the "official" ending, but otherwise, yeah, comic's done. And don't apologize for your language...Tis quite alright!
A Different Guest-san: Awwwwe...thankies...! I'm really glad you like the panels...they were tough, lol. But thank you...your assessment of the ending really makes me happy! I couldn't figure out a better way to panel the "inbetween" for war and whatnot without carrying on for eternity with usless mumbo jumbo that would just make people hate me. Had to do something. At least you understand. Thank you kindly, dear!
Dark-san: Ah, yes, I'm afraid I must admit it is so, my dear. They are dead...but it all has a meaning. Just be patient & all shall be explained in Destinies. *laughs* And...about the guest comment you made...Thanks. You all are amazing to stand up for me.
Your-san: And yeah, I could delete comments like that, but then I'd be submitting to their pokes and ploys. Delete it, and they wouldn't get flamed in return by all of you awesome people. So let them stand on the soap box and make a fool of themselves. I'm not pulling them down. ^_^ Besides, Guest is entitled to their comments, as rude as they seemingly are. I don't like deleting matters of opinion. *laughs* But gawd, I think my first excuse is better, lol.
...such a tragic fate. Im kinda sad that its ended like this. It was a good read.
And this Guest needs to make a comic of his/her own and prove that they can do better instead of bashing another person's.
Hopefully there will at least be an honorable mention about these two in the next one. Otherwise i will choose to ignore every page that consists of this ending and let it sit before the one who was the harbinger of bad news appeared as the ending. Yup denial. which is actualy my name with the A and E switched.
WAH! It's so pretty! I mean, the last line. I'm actually a sucker for tragic death scenes, and you really pulled it off <3
@Guest: You ARE entitled to your own opinion, and if you think this is a bad ending, that's alright... but why are you so angry about it? After all, it's only a story.
Guest: Listen, I've stood by and let you comment freely about me, I really don't give a flying rat's ass as to whether or not you like the ending of this comic or not! But when you cross the line and bash on my FRIENDS, then you have another FUCKING THING COMING. DON'T YOU EVER. AND I MEAN EVER BASH THEM AGAIN. OR I WILL HAUNT YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU REGRET YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. If you don't like it, then STOP reading. I haven't given an explanation because it's coming in the sequel, you steaming pile of shit. Now leave me and my fans alone, asshole. Gawd, make me go on your fucking level. In this battle, I HAVE THE LAST WORD.
Tifa-X: Thanks, glad you like it. I wouldn't read a comic by guest, even if it had good reading. That type of person doesn't deserve recognition in this world.
Avreon: Honorable mention? Meh, perhaps I can slide that in, lol. Just go with the ending for now, kay? It'll end up okay, just trust me.
Jin Tae: Well, it's the end of the actual "comic" pages, but there's still technically one more page. Stick around!
piano-san: Yeah, well guest can shove it. Anyway, I'm glad you're excited about the sequel!
mk-san: Thanks...glad at least SOMEONE in this world thinks so, lol. Well, everyone but one in particular. Guest IS entitled to their own opinion, but when they start insulting my fans, that's when it crosses the line. Otherwise, I could put up with the poorly thought out bashes towards my comics...those, I could ignore.
Wonder who deleted those comments? I didn't do it, did you, alu? Mm. Oh well. They were pretty interesting. And lame. All in one sentence. Pretty funny.
Awe, I wish you wouldn't think you had nothing important to add! I've always thought that everyone's opinion counts in one way or another. Please, don't hold yourself back. ^___^
Awe, what kind words to say, Captain. I really appreciate your matter of opinion. I'm honored that you would feel such a way about this story. I hope to have your continued support throughout the Destinies Saga...You definitely make me feel better. Thank you kindly again, dear heart. Thank you kindly.
heehee. Oddly enough, after I read all the comments, the sloganizer said Mystican Dreams strikes back LOL.
Great page. And Oh Mai there's only one page left!
I'm sorry but if guest is so great then how come s/he's too scared to make a proper account and say what s/he feels? and you should all know without me telling you that the "I'm sorry" is sarcasm cause clearly i'm not sorry about the idea of ripping guest into little pieces and glueing those pieces to a public wall that describe the stupidity that is guest.
Oh and guest It's not wise to insult such a large group of people you dont know if there is a hacker here. and if I'm a Sycophantic Lackey then I will carry that mantle with pride!
*laughs* Awwwwe...I'm so glad to have such supportive friends like you all. Really, it makes me feel a lot better about the comic. I should have known that I would get a negative response like guest's, but perhaps the blatant audacity that this person clearly showed kind of took me aback. But as with one negative person, there is twelve positives for come back, and you all reminded me of that. So I do wish to thank you...you all reminded me that I write this story for you all & myself, and not for negative people like guest.
Captain-san: *blushes* Thank you kindly, dear heart. It really helps to know the fans care. ^___^
Mir-san: Yes! Never hold yourself back...unless it's standing on top of a building naked...may have to think that one out. And honestly, people like you guys make creating a story like this so fun...sometimes the reactions are priceless. ^o^ But of course, there are equal and opposite reactions to every action in life, so it shouldn't have come as a surprise. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Strawberry: Thanks! And yeah, there's only one more page left, but it's more or less "over" comic wise. The next one is a wrap up. And that sloganizer is just a silent watcher, I swear. It KNOWS what's going on and chooses accordingly.
Key: No problem, sweetheart. I didn't want to do that to the people who don't have accounts, it just didn't seem fair. Why block an opinion, as rude as some of them may be? And yeah...About guest being pissed about not getting last words in..How about I stick guest in the chest with an arrow and see how many "last" words he can get out without sounding like every OTHER friggan manga out there in the world. On second thought...going back to the arrow in guest's chest...
Freak-san: Hey now, that's a little harsh, though I can't say I disagree with you. But I'm glad that you pointed out the simplicity of things said in times like these...how much can you utter out in your dying moments with an arrow piercing your lung? I dunno if guest has ever experienced PAIN, but when it does actually happen (with, by the way things are going in this forum, may be quite soon) like, breaking a leg or perhaps dislocating an elbow, you KNOW the pain is SO intense that you can hardly utter out the words "I'M FRIGGAN HURT" before saying something like, "Omg, *like* I've always wanted to tell you how much I *love* you before we died, cause, you know.. *like* I never said it before, ya know? Because we have such a *sappy* relationship we say that kind of shit to each other all the time...ya know?" *rolls eyes at the hilarity of the idea*
Avreon: You know, I've thought of the same thing, trust me. Why guest? Seems like a chicken coverup, but meh, whatever. I'll ask Dan from SJ to see if I can block IP addresses. That way just one person's punished and not everyone. But lessee, how did I describe this before? Oh, by letting guest rant on and on is like letting him stand on a soap box and pulling his pants down for all of us to laugh at his tiny penis. Or, be it a chick, she pulls up her shirt and we all laugh at her flat chest. Either way, mindless and evil prattle like guest's deserves to be laughed at. And I hope there's a hacker here...Oh wait, I'm sorry, perhaps I shouldn't say that? Okay, I take that back. *laughs*
And *sonuvabitch* made me go and say it. I'm sorry Alu-san, but I have to, even though I promised NOT to. I won't ruin it all, I promise.
But just for people's knowledge out there, I was going to make this a HAPPY friggan ending. I was going to end it at the flashback connection, but oh look, SURPRISE SURPRISE, I wanted my sequel to make sense. So I added the end to be more of a "SNEAK PEEK" into the second story. Alright? Happy?
That's okay, you know. I didn't like this story from the beginning. It skips, it doesn't make sense, it's plotless and it's pointless. It says yuri without an ounce in it. Is that what you wanted, Guest? My TRUE opinion of my story? Something I spent my years on, something I actually hate with a passion? I've never liked this story, but HEY, you know what, some people out there actually DO. And they gave me the confidence for me to actually FINISH this story, and not leave it to die like all my others have before. And to that, I'm so grateful to my friends and fans. Hell, I asked aluminumcandy to come in and help me so I could get this done. She stood by me and damn near FORCED me to finish this story because I hated it so much. But then, you go and say shit like "But that's fine, let your sycophantic lackeys speak for you" and expect me not to stand up for them? The very people that gave me HOPE for this comic? Very audacious and stupid of you, my dear. I could put up with what you feel about the comic. I never said I liked it, in fact, I HATE it, and thank you kindly for reminding me. But don't put down the people out there who have done nothing to you. Think out your little "critiques" before you make them into poorly planned flames. I have taken critique before, and I've taken it to heart. I go and I think about what they've told me and I go and edit what I feel is best. But you? Now, you on the other hand, you have to go and just bash your way in, making a "critique" without any signs of improvement. Could've gone like "Hey, didn't like this ending so much. Seemed a little quick, and I hate to say it, not really planned out, but hey, that's okay, I liked the beginning of the comic. Perhaps on your next one you can think out a better ending? Quite frankly, it could've been better." AH, see that? A CRITIQUE. Learn what it is before you call it such.
You're like a bad driver...killing people as you mindlessly plow your way through the highway.
Anyway, I appreciate the thought. Really I do. And Destinies is really something I want to do. Sometimes I just get tired of doing some things and I guess Dreams was the choice of the moment. I know it faltered, I know it lacked. I reread it with hopes of it improving, but I know that takes effort I'm not willing to place right now. I instead take what I've learned and apply it to the future...some of what I hope will show in my next comic.
I'm sorry it had to come to a point such as it did, us being on equal terms much more than I had originally thought. It wasn't so much as painful as admitting to myself that I haven't liked this comic as it was admitting that to the people who love this comic.
As for Destinies, I still strive to bring something new to the table, so hopefully there will be something there to interest you later.
And I, too, apologize. I didn't want to cuss and I didn't want to sound so rude but I was taken aback with some comments. I overreacted, and I apologize for that.
One to other things: By Sithis, I HATE unnecessarily rude people. If Guest does not liek the comic, then they don't have to read it. Also, I highly doubt the new guest is the same one as before. People on the internets dont switch tone THAT quickly.
*marks Nov. 1st on caendar and faves Destinies, only to realize he did so before*
Ruki, it says on Destinies that there will be "mature content" even though this one Dreams has at least SOME amount of near-nudity.
What does THAT mean? :P (Please ignore my stupid if this has been answered before.)
Jude: I'm not sure, but I believe that s/he might. Just let's not call names for a little while, just in case they are. And yeah...Mark your calendar. DO NOTE...it is only a WEEKLY comic. It's...different...so it takes quite a bit longer to get the comic done.
Key: Yeah, that's what I said. But I dunno if guest even meant to sound mean in the first place, it just read like that ('cept for some of those comments). Whether it's the same person or not, I'm prepared to call a truce. And yeah, there were a LOT of moments like that, after I reread the entire comic. That fake dead Echo scene had a reason...Just to distract Ghent and separate Atlah & him. But I don't think I executed it quite right. But yeah, I like Destinies and the different opportunities it offers (with it being in the modern world and whatnot). And yes...that sloganizer knows ALL.
revan-kun: YES. It's creepy, isn't it? But as rude as guest was at first, they don't seem to be such any more. They had an opinion, just don't think it was expressed quite the way intended. And yeah, it's rated mature because it's going to have some adult scenes/situations. Dreams is more innocent, Destinies is reality. Not a stupid question...you're actually the first to say anything about it. ^_^
sick_imp: I'm glad I didn't appall you with my behavior...I really don't usually do that. I just get defensive when it comes to my friends. But I'm really glad that you've enjoyed the comic!!! And I will try my hardest to impress you with Destinies!!
In all honesty it seems very anticlimatic, and pointless. If you were going to kill them tragically, you should've done so when they were fighting their way out of the fortress thing. I kind of see why you did it this way, and you had to tie it back to the beginning, but this all just comes off as really really random. You should've added more build up, not just, "Everything is going to be oka... Ohshi...we're dead now."
Awwwwww ;_; it's a *snif* ...(how do you say that? Good? no. Fantastic? no, it's tragic!!! But I don't know how to say it....>.> It's not a good end but it's a good story, ehmm...yeah) <--I'm babling okay? I just wanted to say I like this comic, but I just don't know HOW><...wait! I like this comic! (Wow, only 5% of this comment is non-nonsense 0.0, ooooohh)
No, you guys are right to wonder and worry. Maybe I should have just posted Destinies within Dreams, with all the confusion it's causing. It's like...a second book. Would it be better to call it PART 2 instead of the sequel? I didn't want Dreams to make sense. I know there were parts that would never make sense cause I screwed them up. (Which is why I'm asking alu-san to help me keep my story on track). We didn't really want to connect the two. But it's already done so there's nothing we can do about it. PART 2 starts November 1st.
THINK OF HARRY POTTER!! Oh gawd, maybe I shouldn't have said that. I don't mean like, give me a whole bunch of spoilers or nothing. But when one book ends, don't you still have a lot of questions? Well IT depends on the sequel...why can I? *whimpers* Gawd, you guys take all the fun out of it...like animals.
Revan-kun: NOOO don't say sorry! It's nothing you guys did, I'm just upset that I screwed up the story so much. I didn't mean to sound angry, I'm just frustrated at myself. Sorry for making you think you have to apologize. *hugs*
Key: Yeah...I didn't want to admit that. It's...it's like, story 2: "on to these girls" type of thing. But yes, Mystica series. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be confusing. T.T
