When couples are gross but you don’t hate them
I have been waiting SO LONG to shove the backstory for Marin and Marisa into this comic somewhere, but the stakes have been too high up til now. (They’re still kind of high for Aubrey, but until anyone figures out what to DO exactly, her pack are stuck inside a creepy house…we’ll get back to all that soonish.) So, in the quiet before the storm, let’s find out how these crazy kids met and why Marin is a werewolf.
Then ya’ll can stop asking me who these two ladies are who keep hugging in the background of this comic XD. (Granted, I mostly get that question over on webtoon, where they’re just the “lgbt couple” lol.)
We’re also going back to before Marisa had pink hair, because everything gets an origin story of sorts. YOU get an origin story, and YOU get an origin story, and YOU get an origin story! Less taxes to pay than getting a car from Oprah, I guess.
I still have to go through all the comments from yesterday, but I was home for like, an hour on Tuesday. Well, more than that…but it just wound up being a really freaking busy day somehow! (WHY???) Today’s goals are mostly focused on yard work, because I gotta get this front flower bed finished before I have to mow the lawn again or it’ll be a big pain in the ass for various reasons. New flower bed, yay! But only because the soil there is so shitty and there’s no sun, so I need to do something other than weedy grass.
Hey now, backstories like this give out EXP like candy! No wonder Aubrey’s pack got trashed, they don’t have the bonus EXP for having a backstory yet!
Yes! But getting to the other wolf pack will take forever at this rate lol
Welp, time to freak out.
Yesssssssss.
So Marisa loves to find Werewolves to tell them her life story – hey everyone needs a hobby 😉
I just love the way she says it and how Elias encourages her to do it.
But i would lie if i would say i am not even the slightest interested about their backstory – they are just to crazy to not know whats with them 😉
He encourages her because he knows she gets a kick out of telling the story of MarMar :D. But she can’t explain away the werewolf elements of this flashback to most people, soooo not many opportunities!
So this page telling us that cute is same meaning as disgusting XD
Nice fact!
I miss the first post // oh dear how lazy i was!! XD
Hahaha you’re excused! And yes, they are so cute it’s super gross 😀
Oh, c’mon, they’re adorable.
My first thought was OH THEY MET AT A SPA? THAT’S WEIRD. But now I think hospital, and I am preparing for tears.
in hindsight those wrappings don’t look like a towel…
Hahahaha I cannot say!
relationship goals <3
Right? I’m get to write the relationships I’d like to be my real life XD
*cue screen crawl and epic John Williams music*
BRAVO!!!! One of the best comments I’ve read yet! Encore!
Hah. thanks.
They met on a spaceship fighting the Empire.
I buy it.
I (space)ship it.
Their so cute. GAH!
It’ll get worse/cuter 😀
<3
Agreeeed
In the pic from next week, it looks like a head wrapping with maybe some hair sticking out.
Marisa works as a nurse so it would seem Marin was a patient of hers once upon a time.
I am guessing some form of trauma and not a major illness as I know wolf healing is powerful when applied to physical injuries, but It has not been stated if it would stop something like leukemia…
So Marisa she fell in love and found a way for Marin to get the bite to heal her, but at a personal or professional cost to be paid to the pack. Hence why she couldn’t help Elias with Mal’s brother, since she literally ows Elias’s mom her life…
Anywho that’s my guess.
I can confirm nor deny anything lol
I expect as much when posting guesses. 😛
My reaction to this page:
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! A STORY, A STORY!”
Yes, I am about 5 years old upon occasion. It’s very neat and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 😀
Yessss. And I realized last week that this story ends up being a flashback in a flashback, because fuck the police?
You should try 5, 25 and 95 at the same time. It’s the best.
Hiiiii, I’ve alway been a phantom follower I guess? But now I’m here to say that I really love your comic and how the story is (like you said) a “how to be a werewolf” story, so it shows how she try to look normal and have a life because most of the stories are about to fight and fight and fight. I really admire you and love your art style and how good you are. I’ve been here a very short time and started to read a couple months ago but I’m in love with everything.
Kisses.
AHHHHH! A Lurker!!! *Grabs you and drags you into the spotlight* We see you now!
Awesome and thank you! I’m glad you like the werewolf-slice-of-life thing I’ve been working on :D. And hey, I had a LOT of people show up a few months ago, so you’re in good company! Hugs!
I like her. She has a likable face. I bet she’d play D&D with me.
Dungeons & Dragons?
Or Dragons & Dungeons if you like to be contrary 😀
She’d probably spend most of the game sidelining conversation so nothing gets accomplished XD
Sounds a lot like D&D to me. XD
That’s the point of D&D. 80% unrelated banter, 5% cheetos, 5% mountain dew, 5% bathroom breaks, 3% waiting for folks to come late, 1% calling the pizza guy, 1% actually pretending to be a big dumb barbarian.
Eh… please don’t tell EVERYONE the formula for Chemical X.
Yes. Although since she actually IS a magical creature, maybe she’d prefer to play a roleplaying game where she pretends to have a desk job and pay her bills on time. What roleplaying games do you play if you are a fantastic creature whose partner is a spellhucker? Or vice versa. I can’t remember which one is which.
With board games they’d could go for The Game of Life or go for Monopoly to experience heavy taxation and bankruptcy. 😀
Is this the beginning of a flashback scene?
It totally is! Lots of flashing back!
Probably because while she was researching for the mall montage, Shawn found lots of pictures of 90s and 00s clothes and she wants to draw characters in them.
HERE WE GO
LET THE FLASHBACK COMMENCE
She should get her dress pants from the men’s section and be back in 15… >_>
yEEEE FLASHBACKAS
MarMar is the genuine actual cutest.
welp, time to re-binge this series on webtoons… HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE ON THERE
Woohoo, backstory! Marisa in that last frame! That’s definitely a, “Wow! I gotta share this story!” face. (Can’t remember off hand if you mind style comparisons to other cartoonists, but that last frame makes me think of one of my favorites — and reminds me I need to catch up on her’s, I have way, way, way too many tabs open in my webcomics browser window)
Once upon a time there was a tribe, it sat around a fire and said: Shaman tell us a story…
Now I do love background stories, as long as they are not as long as those of JRR Tolkien or even Karl May… I do love their stories though.
Noooz, I’ve caught up and now I’ll have to wait for updates D: But I love this comic, it’s so good! 😀
Pretzel dude is discomfiting.
