The Duo

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 6, 2021



We've all been told how in story telling, showing is a lot better than telling.

Showing gets hard if your main character is a loner that interacts with nobody. Even harder if he/she is a stoic that emotes very little. The audience will have no way of knowing ...

Top five romance tropes

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 5, 2021

FEATURED COMIC --> The Sparrow

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Feb. 3, 2021



We've talked about superheros being like gods, setting themselves up as gods, and maybe even some of them being gods, but what if they all were? Demigods that is, coming from a celestial pantheon? That'd mean their enemies are probably similarly mythologically derived… that's the story here ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2021



Some characters are the heroes.

Some characters are the villains.

And some characters are just punchable. But not actually bad, or even antagonists- though sometimes they can be towards specific characters rather than the general plot goals.

Every time this type of character opens their mouth to say something, our ...

A face you love to hate

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 22, 2021



The villain is a counter balance to the protagonist and it is their role to push the protagonist into action and, with any luck, do it in an entertaining way. If there is one type of character that knows how to hold an audience’s attention is a villain you ...
