#stellarparallaxcomic
panel 1: a pale creature that looks somewhere between a goose and a squid hides in the rocks, seemingly harmless and afraid panel 2: the seadweller grins down at it, saying "backed yourself into a corner, eh?" panel 3: the creature flares its webbed tentacles and hisses, showing a beak full of small, sharp teeth
#stellarparallaxcomic #pg16 #fanventure #fantroll #homestuck
panel 1: a set of pale tentacles disappears behind a rock formation and seaweed, leaving a rush of bubbles behind panel 2: the little seadweller pumps his fist in victory, a big dimpled grin on his face as he exclaims "aha! You're not slippin' away from me this time!" panel 3: he swims forward between the rocks, following the path the mysterious creature went
#stellarparallaxcomic #pg15 #fanventure #fantroll #homestuck
panel 1: half in shadow, a young violetblood peeks through a hole in the shipwreck's side, exclaiming "gotchya!" panel 2: inside the ship, there is nothing but several crabs, apparently not what he was looking for as he disappointedly mutters "...or not" panel 3: something swishes behind him, and he looks over his shoulder in surprise. he has short wavy hair, and wide, wondering eyes.

a shipwreck, old and rotten, sits nestled between rocks and seaweed on the ocean floor. light filters through the waves, casting deep shadows where it doesn't touch. a voice, not yet identified, calls "c'mon out! I saw you go by here!"
#stellarparallaxcomic #ch1 #pg13 #fanventure #fantroll #homestuck
the bronzeblood's voice gives the final announcement "commence launch for parallel plane: E-314" the wide expanse of space and all its stars is perforated by a single bright flash as the mothership warps through dimensional spacetime.
the page transitions from red to black over increasingly tighter panels, the first panel a close up of sigmar's mouth, where he gives a terrifying, very toothy grin of delight. the countdown descends from 5 to 2, and sigmar replies "with pleasure, my empress". a small heart punctuates his words.
panel 1: we cut back briefly to the bronzeblood, who is keeping track of the helmsman's vitals with a defeated, blank expression. they are bathed in the light of the energy coming off of the helmsman, who is charging up. Efy's words are imposed over the panel, "it seems the medichanic will need a little reminder that your judgement is sound." panel 2: cut back to efyida, who's expression, though she still smiles, is dark and cruel. she asks sigmar, "Take care of them for me later, won't you honey?" panel 3: sigmar returns efyida's gaze, but does not yet speak, seemingly contemplating her words. the countdown goes from 9 to 6 down the page
panel 1: efyida, feigning concern, holds a hand delicately to her chest and pouts at sigmar, asking "you'd never be so thoughtless as to scout a subpar helmsman for my ship, would you?" panel 2: sigmar, raising a brow with a very small wry smirk, snorts and replies "assuredly not." panel 3: efyida, still playing along, shrugs with relief and exclaims "well then~!" the countdown goes down the page from 13 to 10
Sigmar is now revealed to be a purpleblood, his facepaint reminiscent of his leotard and horns. He has long, floppy rabbit-like ears and is covered in scars. He looks at Efyida with a flat expression, stoic and imposing. Efyida says to him "remind me, who chose the psionic for this very important expedition?" Sigmar, looking mildly confused, replies "you know i did." the countdown continues from 16 to 14
a full, clear shot of Efyida is finally revealed, she is very curvy and has a soft, pretty face with voluminous hair and wide hips. She looks condescendingly amused when she finishes explaining to Sigmar, "-apparently, we may not make the jump back to our dimension....at least according to the battery's babysitter."
panel 1: the empress walks into her throne room, two large drones flanking the entrance. the countdown continues down the page, from 23 to 19. panel 2: a new voice, belonging to a large, well-muscled troll with barbell shaped horns, says "that was fast, Efyida. I take it all is going to plan?" panel 3: the empress, Efyida, plops into her throne and crosses her legs, replying "well, Sigmar-"
panel 1: the medichanic's voice begins a countdown, after announcing "helmsman ready in T-minus 30 seconds." the empress ascends the stairs from the hall, her hair and and trident in focus panel 2: the empress arrives at the top landing of the stairs, the countdown going from 29 to 24. her legs and sheer capelet are in focus.
the empress walks down a dark hall leading from the heart of the ship to a set of stairs, as the bronzeblood medichanic's voice crackles over the ship PA system, "attention crew: attend or return to all stations, and prepare for interdimensional jump. I repeat, prepare for interdimensional jump."
panel 1: the empress, still half in shadow but now more revealed, continues to speak down to the bronzeblood, "you and your team have run output tests for weeks. Based on your numbers, you were provided with an appropriately gifted psionic." panel 2: the bronzeblood stares with apprehension and fear at the floor, the empress's words making them freeze momentarily, "you weren't *lying* about the results, were you?" panel 3: the bronzeblood, defeated, replies "...no your majesty." to which the empress gives a curt "good. prepare for launch."
panel 1: a small, nervous looking bronzeblood in uniform says "-this is the farthest target you've ever commanded..." panel 2: a close up of the empress, focused on her derisive stare. she asks "...and?" panel 3: the bronzeblood, looking even more uncomfortable, stammers a reply, "w-well the strain of one jump may be more than she can handle, empress- let alone the jump back! if she dies we could end up strand--" the empress cuts the bronzeblood off, saying "then you'd better do your job as medichanic and keep my helmsman alive, hm?"
panel one: the mothership floats in space, an unidentified voice asks "is the battery ready yet?" panel two: inside the heart of the ship, biotendrils lay thickly and tangled on the floor, a second unidentified voice responds "yes, your majesty, but-"
fuck it, i'm posting the comic here anyway lmfao
i'll keep it in one long thread and if i find a cleaner way, cool beans, but i think in a potentially vain attempt at organization, it will be tagged #stellarparallaxcomic and then the page number if you get lost
