Just a suggestion, kid, but have you considered drawing the next page yourself? I mean, we're kind of all here because fanfiction gives us more of the stories we wish hadn't ended when they did, or the way they did... this Story is one author's wish that all their stories would go on - now you have a similar wish. Isn't that what fanfiction is all about?

I think she's forgotten the golden rule: “Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.”

Then again it's hard to believe a dragon can be killed when your wrestling with one.

Is anyone else generally concerned that 10 pages doesn’t seem like enough to fix anything? Years of my life. YEARS are about to end unpleasantly. So utterly Bummed

Someone needs a reminder that half the reason most 'happily ever afters' exist is to remind people that sometimes good wins, sometimes life IS fair, and sometimes, things get better for no good reason at all.

I agree with you, even if I kinda just want to break down the 4th wall, grab the characters, bring them to my apartment (or the Anti-Crisis Bunker) to keep them safe and feed them cookies and chocolate milk and not give them back until Story swear by magic and everything holy to leave the comic alone.

But honestly...*sigh* stories rarely go to plan, do they?

I know the feeling. Today's world is the reason I brought All World into existence...about fifteen years ago. I need something to make sense when the real world is dead set on making no sense.

Real life isn't always fair... That's why we need fiction.

maari-rose In reply to Bookwormgal [2018-07-26 15:52:46 +0000 UTC]

Exactly. Because we need to still believe that good can triumph over evil, that happy endings do exists, and that the world can be good. Without that, what's the point? Just sad drudgery in a world that doesn't care.

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

While it's true that life isn't fair, it is also true that life isn't fair to anyone, and it comes around to the small and powerful alike because Karma is a heck of a lot stronger.  And so is hope...
