[blog] Junior Year #7 - LVA @ PVD - Part I
★ Notes on Year 3, Comic 7 - LVA @ PVD - Part I ★
"Great. Forty-nine more and you get a kiss.”
☆ ☆ ☆ NOTES ☆ ☆ ☆
✓ OMG. Hi, there! Long time no—OMG. OMG. OMGCHECKPLEASE. Haha, that's the name of the tumblr blog. Cut the crap, you dumb bitch. Parse. Jack. They kissed—HOCKEY? See, I really didn't know you could interject this much in these blog conversations we always have? After the first statement, you usually let me—AAHHHHHHH.
✓ Parse and Jack dated. Well--well. “Hooked up a few times back in juniors.” Dating would imply going on dates and not like, being gross teenagers with hormones, nonexistent communication skills and monumental hockey expectations. Or, ya know what, maybe they did date???
PARSE: You want my chicken tenders?
JACK: Sure.
It was 6 years ago.
✓ So Jack spelled everything out for Bitty, eh? Every tender embrace, every petted cowlick—oh hohohooo--every firmly gripped hockey stick. Oh, come on!
✓ Hi, different reader—I'm here for Jack and Bitty making hearty French cuisine whilst shoeless and chirping one another. In between Madison and the beginning of classes, Bitty popped over to PVD for TLC with his BF--JLZ. There was cooking, hanging out, [REDACTED], and lots of flashcards.
✓ Why is Bitty studying before school starts? Summer assignment. Honestly, with Bitty's ability to learn and retain a new language, he should have started studying around comic 1.3.
✓ There were a few scene changes in this—how does each scene fit into the timeline? (1) Jack and Parse probably had those post-game interviews within a few days of each other, in the same week (in the fall of 2015). (2) This makes Parse think about Epikegster 2014, where he drove on down to Samwell to try to woo Jack to the Las Vegas Aces. He left mad and still wearing a fancy watch. (3) A week or so before classes start, Bitty made his way over to Providence to hang out with Jack. The last time they had seen each other was in Madison, GA in July—before that it was graduation.
✓ Again with the hockey speak, oy. Oh boy, Parse, almost showed some actual real authentic human emotion in a post-game interview. This is mostly frowned upon in the NHL. What words cannot say will be played out on the ice, I suppose?
✓ What will happen to Parse? This is Bitty's story, so we're not totally privy to what will happen to Kent Parson during the rest of Bitty's junior year. Maybe he'll work on himself and adopt a Maine Coon or something. Kent Purrson (Jr.) has a nice ring to it?
☆ Up Next: Jack and Parse play hockey in non-regulation but narratively-appropriate jersey colors.

☆ Next batch of updates. This week! A bunch of updates! As I will be deep in kickstarter fulfillment this October and November, I likely won't be able to get another batch of comics out until December. I'll make a whole post about this on the main blog.
☆ Kickstarter. Oh yeah, the Year Two Kickstarter is now live! All of the support has been tremendous and there are still over three weeks left. Thank you!
☆ That's it for now! I've got to eat, sleep, and get ready for the rest of the week!
