Five minutes of Artistic Integrity

[Dub]

Announcement - A change has come to my process, no longer am I bound to a mouse but now a fancy drawing pad thing that is basically an expensive mouse shaped like a pen and giant trackpad. it was a gift so that means someone has made an investment into this endeavour (unknowingly). So now you can expect professional digital art quality which will make into the Spider-verse and Studio Ghibli weep.

I've only messed around with it once to christen it with penis doodles and giggle maniacally while I receive the observation of "Its curvier than the one you did with the mouse." I'm legally an adult.

"Oh, it's so pure! Such pure green energy!"

I should wash the jacket more often if it means Tara notices me.
I have no idea why pen drawn Dub has a Hench right arm.

Willow control your blowy pages!
Anya keep the car moving or still but keep it consistent.
This was a bad idea all round.

After the funeral, I asked Anya to hang back so we could finally bury the Willow hatchet.

Not so we can make peace with Willow, Oh no.
We did it in order to prevent Willow from getting a hatchet to locks.
She has no respect for locked things.

Uh oh, she's moved on from the hatchet and gained an axe!

Spoiler:

I'm as surprised as everyone else that she's not swinging at me.
Well I'm just gonna watch this axe wielding jealousy rage play out.
I mean you've got 4 and a half series of past, 6 series of doesntexist and a high school reboot. Youve got more baggage than a carousel at an airport. Let this book claiming to be a Tara Maclay prequal exist.
Oh hello incoming axe.

I have not read this book, my opinions should not be given any weight in the actual quality of writing, story and characterisation in the book. it could be much worse than the blurb suggests. I do however support any 'canon/official' publication of Tara being put out there, no matter if I reject it, some other Tara fan may love it. Thanks for putting it out there Disney.

Good news - Found your cat.
Bad news - Tara prioritises Willow over maybe fetching a doctor for me. We're already in a hospital, maybe just give a little yell. Lot of blood loss. right behind you. Tara. Tara. Please.
Did the pound tell you she was a chest burster?

If you said 88 weeks ago Tara would be leaning on the counter singing for me to stay. I'd say, Okay.

Little did I know she'd leave me to bleed out after her cat burst out of my chest.
Singing don't pay my bills.
I can forgive you leaving me to die but the real harm done, my jacket needed stitches.

Wish I could trust just that it was just this once
But I must do what I must
I can't adjust to this disgust
We're done and I just ...
need some space.

Ask for space and they keep showing up. I guess cemeteries' are the only real hangout place in Sunnydale.

She forgot the Batman suit.

Yeah you need your stake and combat skills to hang there but there's an important piece of patrol equipment they don't advertise.

A Shewee.
They really don't treat this place with any respect but also when cemeteries' take up 90% of the town, maybe add in more public bathrooms instead of letting people use the graves of people they have grievances with.
Willow should hydrate more.

I had to get rid of the drumstick legs due to chub rub causing greasy inner thighs but we kind of hit it off. Due to our 'space' I've had time to hangout with the Colonel and the things he can do with 11 herbs and spices. It's mainly backstreet surgery with questionable results but I can now say I've assisted surgery by holding a bucket of fried chicken parts.
Is this independent growth? Am I flourishing without you Tara?

Thanks again for getting this old gal back up and running.

Might come back to this one, it's fine but i had a great gothic image akin to the snake drawing in my head. instead my hand vetoed that image and hit home that it specialises faces of poor likeness.

Willow has been great about this whole space thing. She even offered me a lift to go see Tara.

From left to right -
Tara wants a baby Ruth.

Spike is drying out his tongue.
Buffy didn't skip neck day.
Xander, I like this Xander.
Anya plans to bite Xander's shoulder.
Giles is a grandma.
Willow's top is complimentary.

With the public humiliation, car accident and the Colonel being arrested, it will be nice to get into the festivities of the season. Trick or treating through Sunnydale high street shouldn't cause any trouble.
