Please hold your Linkin Park jokes! (…never liked that band even when it was “cool” to like them!) But yeah, he's pretty upset about Tony's comment. He doesn't like to think of himself as controlling. He also tends to think everyone else's intentions are shallow compared to his.
Seriously, I thought I had this comic almost done ahead of time. Then Nick informed me it was already Thursday on Thursday night :C So why am I updating Saturday? Well I was working on something else that I had to hold this up for, but I didn't get it done so here we are with my late page and and empty hand. Waah! I guess I'll just have to get it done, get a new page out earlier (I'll aim for a Tuesday this time, but I make no promises sadly)
Sorry though for the holdup. The start of the week was really rough, we had a bit of a scare. Seems the site we filed our taxes on screwed up (they were getting a lot of phone calls with the exact complaint so it wasn't just us) and they were threatening us with a 10 day limit in which we had to pay a couple thousand in fines or else they'd seize our house. And minus the two days it took for the letter to arrive, of course. Crap! Good thing we got that squared away, but it didn't make for a good week to work on a single comic page.That and our kitty Weiss did something to his eye, and we were panicked that he was gonna go blind. Thankfully, it looks to be healing though it still is rather cloudy. Argh, little kitteeee!
However I did work on a whole lot of other stuff that perhaps we'll offer up for cheap sale for Christmas or something. One of those things will be a PDF with all the posters I've done so far plus some new ones! After the panic of the tax scare though I admit I did take a little bit of a break to relax some stress. I made something pretty nifty during this break, but I haven't taken a picture of it yet. But it's made out of pipecleaners and I'm rather proud of it :D Okay, I needta update and let Nick update Cwen now. Seeya!
@Kiru: Thank you very much! And welcome, welcome! I would love to say more but I have to be asleep right now, but I really enjoyed your comment, thanks!
Okay, so I just finished spending a few days reading this webcomic from start to finish. I will say what you have probably already heard a hundred thousand times, awsome. I loved watching your art ability progress right in front of me. I was thrilled and told several people i know about it. Your worj is tremendously sensational now, and getting better. I've read lots of webcomics, and would like to say that I don't find yours in anyway shape or form "goth" nor a imitator of anyones particular style. Your story and art are original, phenominal, really good, okay. so flattery all done, I cannot wait for the update ^_^ thank you.
no worries about the update
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AMELIUS!
It has been another awesome year full of beautiful,vampirate-y updates from you and I am proud to say I am still (now more than ever) a Charby The Vampirate fan!
To my favorite CTV characters:
Charby, Menu, Tony, Hex, Kavoon, Zerlocke, annnd Sammy
!HAPPY HOLIDAYS YOU CRAZYS!
To my fellow CTV fans:
Lets be grateful that Amelius is such an amazing storyteller and artist!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS!
Aw, I love the kitty! Anyway, beautiful page as usual. I haven't been around for a while, but a very stressful time in my life is just getting over, so I hope to be around more again!
don't worry Ame we understand absolutely NO hard feelings, for missing an update. Seems everyone is overworked this time of year. 2 next week would be awesome but don't kill yourself in the process.
Ka Rin: hmm Christmas not so Jolly for ya if you work in retail eh? Please say you don't have to work boxing day!
Amy. It's the holidays. If you're not busy you're not human. We're not worried if you missed an update. Oops there I go speaking for everyone else again but i'd say in this respect i'm right.
If you're thinking of killing small puppies for amusement. You work in retail like me.
I've been reading CTV for almost exactly a year now, although I can't be sure of an exact date, this was the first page I saw:
http://www.drunkduck.com/Charby_the_Vampirate/index.php?p=647410
I think I'll celebrate with some ice cream. *makes a Dr. Pepper float* Ok, Ice cream AND soda. This is delicious, but CTV is even more so. :D I'm looking forward to another fantastic year. Let the good times roll. :)
You know, if you wanted to wander around spying on people, a innocent
kitty would be the perfect disguise!
People talk to them all the time, tell them their secrets, and you'd also get
treats! ^_zzzz6
I think we're getting to serious again.
Interesting point: I think both Tony and Hex underestimate what each other went through. I bet Hex just thinks he kept poking in people's minds until he found it in someone's drawer drawer.
Haha, they were incorrect! (I know how it happened and it's silly....)
Masan (the kitty) has been with them about a month or so. Hex got him a while before the party, and it's been two weeks since the party ended.
@Snevilly: It's likely been years. The comic has large time skips between events that aren't properly portrayed by Amy. A failing that is common with most stories as artists sometimes subconsiously forget readers don't have long distance ESP to read their minds.
I have the same problem XP
Would knowing the truth be better than not knowing... it has happened with a person i love that her repressed memories came back and sure it is extremely depressing for her but she is now getting over it, there is no longer a missing piece of her psyche. It turns out that in order to prevent her remembering her brain never entered REM sleep which if memory serves me right was a torture the Spanish inquisition used to break heretics. and this isn't an outside sadistic person it is her own mind giving her the Chinese water torture.
It also caused a dulling of the senses and an unnatural affinity with the Twilight books for some odd reason, (dont worry this dissapeared) but I cant help wondering what all this is doing to Mye and whether dealing with it now that she has a support group wouldn't be preferable. also if you aren't allowed to deal with pain how can you mature, the pain is part of you. Until she deals with it her subconscious may never let her be free.
Mayhap exploiting her magical abilities IS what reopens Mye's "scars," which indeed may BE her memories of a terrible event.
On a totally opposite side of the story, mayhap MYE is the one who is trying to repress HEX's "scars" and prevent him from lossing his f***in' mind.
Or, just maybe, it's all a story and they don't even really exist, but that doesn't prevent us from watching them, does it...
>:)
I just want to say that Hex really is my favorite character. I think people judge him pretty harshly, but he does what needs to be done. I respect him for the sacrifices he made in the name of family. Also, the kitty sure has grown! How much time has passed since he came in?

I'm not sure which is cuter. The little city in the panel, or the little kitty that is Amelius' avatar.

Don't run yourself into the ground just to update your comic. We understand. ~Happy Holidays~

Hey guys, sorry for no update this week, I'm going to try and make it up with 2 next week if I can manage!

I just noticed that these last two pages are numbered incorrectly. 833 and 844... Instead of 883 and 884.

Or maybe we'll speculate every possible theory only to have an impossible one happen because Amelius can make it work. :D
HiNaTa_fan_13 at 6:44PM, Dec. 16, 2010
Yeah, Naru has a point. Maybe Hex's memories aren't right. In a world of magic, there will always be a Lockheart, right?

Hex has some crazy hair. Iguess using too much stress and magic might break open the scars.
Zenny at 9:52PM, Dec. 14, 2010
hmm but who is saving Hex's sanity... does he have a totally intact view on reality... could we tell
Zenny at 9:50PM, Dec. 14, 2010
2 maybe 3 days

Oh, I guess I must've posted that only moments after Amy. :T
