I hope you know I didn't mean anything negative by saying it "isn't canon", I just knew it wasn't supposed to be part of the story anymore. Saying an old version would have better suited, probably.
Oh, no, not at all! I thought it was funny!
It’s a term you’re used to hearing for massive franchises, not obscenely niche fanfiction. So it was fun hearing it applied to the hours of madness I’ve devoted to this thing, like damn, I have done A Lot of this and in a lot of weird ways, haven’t I?
It was all good! Sorry if I gave off a vibe that it was upsetting! I am, in all fairness to you, some kind of game of pinball hybridized with darts tonight as far as where my posts are landing in the emotional realm, so it was kind of you to check!
And yknow, if Vampire Edgar ever finds its way to a continuation… Or Edgar using Nny on and off his meds as a case study, though that was art and neither of these are SWAN–Glad you’re good : )
Vampire Edgar is a noble institution. He’s a national treasure a dozen people know about.
and oh god the on and off meds drawing was the always elusive ‘other’ verse, which was either SWAN with parents or SWAN got the bad ending and we are now on attempt number 4 to just not die horrifically, depending on how i felt day to day
It was high octane teenage melodrama because that’s just what I wanted to do hahaha. But that version of Johnny was very funny and lived such a shitty life and he informed the reSWAN one arguably more than the person he was in original SWAN/ISH, so it was all for the good.
Can I name more than like, 5 U.S. presidents? No.
Do I remember that Johnny threw a psychology book at his mother and Edgar thought it was dramatic irony? Yes.
This is probably why college took me so long…
POINT IS- I love your stuff and I probably remember more of it that you want anyone to sometimes lol
aaaaaaaahahaha you are one of very few who I imagine remember any of that, that is incredible! Were you one of the people I actually let read any of that, or did you just vividly internalize the doodles? I had the written stuff on a heavy lockdown and people had to come ask for it after gaining my trust and proving their worth like I was some kind of Terrible AU Fanfic Sphinx.
SWAN is definitely why college took me longer than it was supposed to for a variety of reasons, if that’s any consolation.
