Ok so here we are! Let’s get down into the weeds with Typical Strange’s TK!
…did that come out wrong? I’m sure TK would have a thing or two to say.
So, first things first. Typical Strange is the lovely creation of Banes. It’s a comedy ...
Character Analysis: TK from Typical Strange
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 25, 2023Another Approach to Story Structure
Banes at 12:00AM, March 16, 2023
I'm a big fan of story structure. It can be a big help to figuring out how to put a story together in a way that works. Not that structure needs to be followed in a slavish way, or that one structure applies to every story.
But it can ...
'Good' People Do Nothing
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 11, 2023

Meet the Found Family
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 14, 2023
Last year (har har har obligatory New Year's Joke done) I'd started talking about Found Family, one of my favorite tropes in pretty much any narrative work, from movies to novels to comics and webcomics. Found family is when a bunch of characters, usually unrelated and mismatched, end ...
The Cure for Jealousy
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 12, 2023
Hey, you!
