Now, if you look to the back of the bus, you can see an author having a fabled mental and creative meltdown. It's quite a sight to behold. Now, if you look to the left...

I think Res should go with the former.

I don't like the direction this arc is going. Im not happy.

(Get it, it's a joke to what was said in the strip) (I mean, maybe it's not funny because I had to explain it... or beacuse it was never funny to begin with)

His soul laid bare in plaintive cry,
a song he lives by, hot and dry.
The need to serve is paramount
Winning is all, failure doesn’t count.
You cannot win them all, Rez,
listen here to what Grape sez.
She’s right, you can’t block every hole,
you won’t fit a life in a story bowl.
Calm yourself, little friend,
The book comes to a close, not an end.
Your readers will always buy
no matter what, on that you can depend.

You know, it almost sounds like just wallowing in obscurity is infinitely preferable to being successful and popular. That way you can just do what makes you happy without having to worry about pleasing anybody.

I think Res needs a hug a warm blanket and some cocoa and to just watch some TV or something for a while instead of mulling this over constantly

At least so long as you can make some sort of living off of it. Obscurity sure is fun but in the end of the day ya still gotta eat :P . Though Res doesn't really seem to worry about that,
he's got the best of both worlds!

...so the joke is that you want the arc to stop (not for real though) because it's not perfeeeect? I thiiiink? :?
If so that's actually kinda clever, though without the explanation I don't think we'd have gotten it so, thanks? ^^;

I still want to see Res thinking Peanut is Grape's boyfriend. x3
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

And grape is right. You shouldn't do things to please other people. You do you Res. ;)

I'm certain Grape would've explained that to Res by now, but I think it would be an amusing gag myself =P

also - Res is definitely me now, but I would totally continue the story. Might as well be laughed at til old age D:

You worry about that too much, Res. :P It's normal that the work of any kind of artist can't be liked by everyone. Perfection doesn't exist... ;) It's not your stories that make people's day worse, trust me. :P Well, Res, if you're really a stories writer, tell Grape that her second example is the worse one. :) Eheh, there's no need to think. :D

Which arc? The Resgra arc or the Pridelands arc? Are you speaking from Res' perspective?

perfection is overrated, every arc needs flaws.

boycotting next arc if too perfect.

No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.
