I told you it was rough.


If you actually liked that bit of the chapter then congratulations. You have a stronger stomach than me. Believe it or not I don't want BE to be the shit-all-over-Epper show. When writing the scripts for the next few chapters I was going to split the flashback into parts but I was getting really sick of putting them at the start of every chapter so when I did revisions I put them all at the start of 4 so I can give myself a break. I think it was the right idea in the long-run so I'm not slamming the breaks on at the start of every episode but I think something was sacrificed in the process...


Me.


Fuck you, kid.

Like I said on the post, Part 2 will most likely be done in July, early or late depending on other commitments. I'm drawing page 23 right now as I write this. I'm hoping to follow up the most depressing point of the series so far with one of the silliest to balance it out. It's nice to have Voca back. The final product will be somewhere between 30 - 40 pages.


As for the mentorship thing I brought up in the last news post, I don't think that's the right word for it but it's what my provider has been calling it. He read Bury Everyone so far and said it was sick (weirdo). I'll be doing some designs for him over the week. Might even get a job out of this if I'm lucky.


Here's Epper looking surprised as usual.

That's it for now, see you in the next one.

I think doing it all at once was the for the best.
It's expositional and it was nice you didn't do it in the first few chapters either.

Looking forward to the next one!

Don't think any of the reacts have QUITE the emotional range I'm looking for in my reply, so I'll just leave a comment, instead. Ahaha...
I felt - strongly - the way you handled it was for the best.
As someone whose writing, by inclination tends towards, what did I once call it...
Slightly to severely misanthropic, though always - I should hope - with a heart...

You captured powerlessness.
It's not a 'pleasant' feeling, but it's real and it happens.
People truss it up and tell you everyone feels it so it's invalid to dwell on, but it doesn't change that it's there.

Manifesting Epper a single good day, or failing that, a day that's slightly less shit.

Very looking forward to the next bit, too - though I want to echo I loved this because it was painful - and although I dunno about the details on it, best of luck with your programme, hope it gets you some good opportunities, and always remember the final decision on any offered lies with you!

P.S. I love the second page contrasting the last one. Like a time-elapse of melancholy.

Really glad you liked it and you make a good point with people dismissing that kind of anguish. I guess that's part of why I'm making BE. Some people get tired of hearing "you can't lose hope" all the time. Sometimes you just want to hear someone say "Yeah, this is fucked"
