Something something Mikey always pulling him back from the wide open world. Contemplating flying away like a bird and litttle man and thumps him on the shoulder like “no! Pay attention to meeeeeee” 😭

Nestor

he's so... SQUWISH

vatican

grounding :D grounding :(

Jess

Are these the New Zealand pigeons of tumblr lore? I also like the captions getting more anxious.

Em

Hey are those initials on the inside of a1’s collar, or just wrinkles?

vatican

im kinda bad at drawing babies but, for them. i will try my bestest

vatican

that was for a different arc, that didnt make it to this chapter

ElectronicMilkshakeWhispers

(Kinda off-topic, but chapter two page fifteen: was the first speech bubble changed? I‘ve got a version downloaded saying "You can’t tell me what to do" but when I looked on here today it said "We’re not kids anymore, you can’t tell me what to do".)

Jess

So it is a new family. I like that they are communicating a little bit. Given what I now think about a2 and what he is capable of I am clenching harder.

Nestor

damn i thought we got him

ElectronicMilkshakeWhispers

Okay. Because I might or might not have triple-checked earlier today because I was worried I was imagining things, haha.

vatican

that was the original version of the page that got cut bc i didnt know how long until i got to show the flashbacks ahahah... got reinstated

Ciggie

Em, come on, stop, stop hurting me, too 😭😭😭💔 Thems some good heart stabs ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

vatican

i shouldve just gaslit u guys dang it ahahaha

L

OWWWWWWWWWWE

mizumonomartin

obsessed with the pidgeons reflecting in A1 eyes and with A2 little thump 🥺 I'm trying to comfort myself making up delusional theories!!

Em

I was like Jesus Christ a D name????? 😂

Em

Ooooh good eye on the reflected pigeons!

L

To be honest with you guys I was NOT expecting babies and it feels like suddenly remembering you burned your arm on the stove yesterday

Rav

Oh noooo

ElectronicMilkshakeWhispers

I’ve downloaded it (twice actually), I‘ve got proof that I‘m not insane just yet! XD Also, the old version is still on Tumblr.

Em

IM SORRY CIGGIE I simply must get a good grade in reading look homeward 😂😂😂

Rav

Did a2 have a nonspeaking time?

vatican

something something a1's hair/pigeon wings fluttering out of the boxes before hes brought back down to earth/into the box, can u tell comics are my favourite medium for storytelling

vatican

its changed on my end ahahaha, tumble doesnt update the new version if its already reblogged tho

vatican

also theyre sky blue instead of the usual ice blue in that panel 😶

Jess

Oooooh that’s a cool detail

vatican

ive put this off for so long bc i really didnt wanna draw 1992 stuff yet 😭😭😭 yet here we are

vatican

he talked sometimes, mostly to a1, but was mostly nonverbal

Em

I love the pressure difference between the two questions. Like a2 had strong emotions during the second, and/or did that thing where you trace over your letters sometimes after you’ve written them cause you’re unsure.

vatican

yeah! and kind of a play on him repeating himself bc a1 was spacing out and not 'listening' to him

L

HERE WE ARE 🫶🏼

gemini

pain pain pain pain

gemini

how dare they take a1 away from his real family? a2 is right there?

vatican

bonded pair, do not separate 😭😭😭😭

anthroxagorus

Strapped in, dumb, unsure how to feel but I love this page, love them.

🅱

When did A2 stop being nonverbal? Or does he still nonverbally communicate in adulthood sometimes? (I will throw up if I stop thinking about these two)

Ciggie

All these years later and he still doesn't know how to say "Good. Good for you." and mean it. He might be nonverbal, but man is his face speaking at the top of his lungs to the feelings of his betrayal.

Ciggie

I will never EVER be over your study of faces and all the myriad of emotions you're able to wring out with one expression/single image! UGGGHHHHH!!! And I know I'll look at this in a few hours and notice even more 😅 god DANG it, man! 👏👏👏

vatican

he's still nonverbal sometimes in adulthood, but look homeward starts at a place where he's quite actively trying to make an effort to reconnect w a1/make a1 laugh/feel better/etcetc so he is talking quite a bit more than he normally would

vatican

im not happy for you, but i want to be happy for you. but i dont like that you might be happier without me, i want you to be miserable without me, even though i dont want you to be miserable etc etc etc

vatican

i wuv trying to capture complex feelings.... i wuv lying but your face gives you away i wuv fake smiles i wuv avoiding eye contact i wuv the pyschological warfare that is human communication

🅱

Guh just making me even angrier that A1 isn't reciprocating like hoooooly shit just say something 🥲

vatican

yeah a2 really is pulling all the stops… jokes… cigs… energy drinks… hes tryingggg

Ciggie

Exactly exactly this!! 😭👏 And the possibly even more complicated headspace of A1 right now URGHLGLRGLGLGLR 😭😭😭🤮...😭😭😭

Bleak

yay my daily dose of pain!

vatican

🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sabrina

OH MY GOD the REFLECTION! Of the bird! 👏🏼IN!👏🏼 HIS! 👏🏼 EYE!👏🏼 My first thought was “oh wow his eyes look super blue lemme zoom in” to “holy sHIIIT WHATT”

Sabrina

Poor a2 just wants to talk. A1 stop being mean to your nonverbal friend ):

Sabrina

Me with a1: You! 🫵🏼 TALK TO HIM🤨❗️HES TRYING SO HARD🤬 GET OVER IT 💢😡

Alec

i’m like the this fine meme dog but instead of the room on fire it’s self immolation

PyratePigeon

you know how anne rice was possessed by lestat until her death......fictional blonde men (there are no real blonde men) are so dangerous. They'll get in your head and start gnawing at your neural pathways and getting blood all over your new carpet.... vati I hope you have taken precautions to protect yourself

PyratePigeon

vatican

vatican

vatican

PyratePigeon

Alec

Alec

mostly because i’m unkillable but the point stands

charlie

here we are 🤡

DeafeningCat

Omfg this is new territory oooooomg nonverbal A2 I love you so much I'm sorry for everything you had to go through baby

vatican

you kinda wonder why a1 is the biggest a2 apologist on the planet and then you see baby a2 and are like ah yeah that guy hasnt done anything wrong in his whole life

DeafeningCat

"oh he is a hitman" ok the girl just needed a job "noo but he actually feels good when he kills people" she's just enjoying her job? during late stage capitalism you know how hard that is?? "he was a serial killer!!" IT WAS A PHASE

vatican

he could be killing alot more ppl honestly
