Got recent advice from a friend that maybe I shouldn't redo mp/ss. I'm not gonna listen because 90% of the advice was take what I dont like about what I did with this comic and fix it for future comics. I don't intend to make another comic series for while. And I'd rather I tell this story and be more satisfied than not by the end of it. Mp/Ss was structured in a way that, at first, seemed ideal. I didn't intend to--
(1) --pour so much of my feelings/trauma/struggles into Tyler. But now that I wanted to tell a bigger story than it started with, I feel like I could do so much more. So much was cut out for the sake of keeping each chapter 24 pages long with 3(minimum) parts to them. These are important story beats I tossed for the layout and I feel as though I could tell it so much better if I gave myself more liberty.
(2) A lot of things have changed with the characters, namely Mason/Tyler/Poppy/Gales dynamic and it doesn't show too well with how the story is currently.
On another note I'm scared of the rerun being vaguely popular and Mason getting attention because he's a freak that I based off people who hurt me. I don't mind people liking this iteration of him because he wasn't completely intended that way at first but second iteration it'll be more obvious and I'm scared people will like him and try to dismiss his actions cause hes fucking silly or whatever.
ONE LAST NOTE: I keep flipflopping between Poppy/Gale being a DID system because I worry I'm accidentally portraying them weirdly/its offensive/playing into stereotypes a little bit. In the second iteration I hope to have picked whether or not I want to and make it a lot more clear to the audience that Poppy/Gale are a system w/ Poppy being an alter that's just fronting all the time now.
Poppy/Gale being a system is a funny one cause like Tyler's autism I didn't intend it to be that way but as more time went on it just kind of grew on accident. In my head Poppy and Gale felt like different people so I literally made them separate entities/consciousnesses. They're kinda Silly.
One more I promise: I have put a lot of time and research into Gale/Poppy's system, and while I didn't take any notes, I did figure out what kind of alter Poppy is (i did not write it down i am so sorry but i'll be sure to return to researching and educating myself). I do want this to be canon I'm just nervous about making it weird on accident.
i cant wait to see where this will go and im sure youll do a good job, tell the story YOU want
If you need any input on Poppy and Gale, I used to be plural and can point you at resources or answer what questions I can. I can probably also find other systems willing to be in contact and help out with questions.
