Your mom… haha

I’m surprised it took her this long to throw one in 😂. Her instincts were right about the earwigs though.

Dark gives cosy depth.

Also I like your earwig tech :o gross, and I probably would not use it myself, but super cool!

Yeah, I like the cozy layers. Like a dark chocolate cookie dipped in white chocolate.

Earwigs are gross 🤢 and it shows up soon in The Flucks 😁. I’d wear them though, probably just takes a little bit to get used to, I hope.

Why’d you have to call them Earwigs x_x it makes it worse. LOL but I suppose that was your intended effect xD

Mmmm chocolate layers. I think about painting. If it’s all light and no shadows it looks amateur. Adding shadows and knowing how they fall gives depth, makes the piece more realistic.

I absolutely did it for effect. Could you imagine “Apple Earwigs”. Terrible branding 😂

Exactly. Contrast!

Definitely friendship goals here! And loved the little touch of body horror oozing in, haha.

It really does just seep in out of nowhere.

Bahahaha. loved this! ☺️

Ed the Editor's avatar

Thanks! I hope it didn't fall out of the cozy-zone too much.

I think it fits well enough! 😌

Delightful from start to finish. It's so interesting to see Slacy as this young person. They are still friendship goals. Their weirdness goes so well together. It's a gift and the "okay" at the end got me.

Part three! Can't wait.

Ed the Editor's avatar

I guess my friendship goal is witty banter 😅😂. It’s interesting making sure they have distinct personalities and different weirdness that gels.

RM Greta's avatar

I really want to know what he thinks of her. Especially when he kind of “times out” and waits for her to stop being stubborn 😅

Ed the Editor's avatar

You're foreshadowing part 3 😅

Ed the Editor's avatar

Oh, also friendship goal: shenanigans
