I like "yeah? prove it" as Dorothy's response to Joyce's "i might be a teensy bit gay," but it resolves in a final panel that was less specifically romantic than I was shooting for. As Maggie correctly said when I showed her the earlier iteration, "this is a Slipshine launch gag." Not the desired tone!

On another note, this is where I started trying to be fancier in my early daylight lighting strips. usually I just put a colored filter over everything and erase where I want highlights. But here I put a second, differently-colored filter on just the highlight areas! Gives a more vivid look. (In the months since this, I went back to the Joyce/Joe bedtop smooching strips and redid them in this style before publication.)

Dorothy, it’s 100 years too early for you to try to power bottom

Rubia

We long for the day "yet" has become the desired tone.

Harold

The "yet" that launched a thousand fanfics

William Lewis

I'll agree this time. But also with "yet" 🥰

David M Willis

look i've seen AO3, those thousand fanfics already exist

Megh

Wait is the current not also supposed to read like a slipshine launch gag? Cause that's certainly how I read it

Megh

That said, if Joyce is about to talk openly for a bit on her feelings for Dorothy (with or without kissing) I'd honestly prefer that over a slipshine rn so I ain't complainin to be clear

Harold

@Megh: It's subtler, I think - it's not as much an overt promise of "We're going to have *sex* tomorrow" (by which, I presume, Joyce means today, since it's already early Sunday morning as this storyline begins). If this had been the actual strip, I think many of us would proceed to treat the entire storyline simply as a Countdown to Bonetown, which I also don't believe was Willis's intention.

Heatth

Yeah. The way Joyce is responding is very sexy regardless of the actual words being said. But the "you" is a bit more romantic while the "tomorrow" is pretty much "we gonna fuck".

GundamBradley

I do feel like you made the right call. The final strip definitely gets the tone across better. I also feel like this would have made Dorothy just kind of come across like she's completely given up on showing any restraint, "in for a penny in for a pound, all sins are equal at this point" on the topic of cheating, and that'd remove a lot of the tension if they just don't care at all at this point.

Harold

"We gon' frick" "OK"

Railway Series Book Club

see personally i read this less as "dorothy's angling to be a power bottom" and more "dorothy might still be under the assumption she's gonna have to comptop and is not at all ready for the storm joyce will unleash upon her"

Uniquitous

When will then be now!?

Harold

And you say it's gonna happen now But when exactly do you mean?

Harold

@QueenOfSodor: Your current avatar has never been more apt [NOTE: QueenOfSodor had a different avatar - Agitated Hair-Pulling Dorothy - when I initially posted this]

Giant Speck

🎵 When can it beeeeee now? 🎵🎷

Giant Speck

But I would launch five hundred 'fics, And I would launch five hundred more, Just to be the man who launched a thousand 'Fics to fall down at your door

AE Gonzalez

“Yet”? Joyce has been shown (over at the other Patreon) to finger herself with her left hand. Said left hand is now around Dorothy’s waist, a short distance from getting beneath Dorothy’s panties. Joyce has already shown great skill at getting her hands beneath underwear, turning a make out session with Joe into a handjob. Just making an observation.

@Queen of Sodor ~Time is an illusion that helps things make sense So we are always living in the present tense It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends But you and I will always be back then [1]" [1] - When "yet" becomes "now" [2] [2] - Also, come on, your majesty. It's DoA. You're not getting to payoff without substantial amounts of edging.

@Queen of Sodor ("When 'yet' becomes 'now'" sounds like the name of a pretty good song, too. Hrm...)

Sajuuk-Khar

Hahahaha no you’re so right

5099 5618 v2.0

@Andrea Andrew Slipshine when we least expect it. Kinda like how the Lady in Discworld doesn't like it when people pray to her, I'm guessing.

@Harold Y'know how sand is soft and flexible, most of the time, but when you need to make a mold to shape molten metal into the kind of structure you can build bridges and skyscrapers out of, they use sand because it can take the heat? I think that's their dynamic. Soft, flexible, durable, but they can take heat that would melt most other materials. (At least, that's what I'm hoping)

The used strip i s definitely more romantic...but I do like what could have been, for sure.

Railway Series Book Club

@5099 5618: i mean, every insight Willis posts about this plotline makes it seem like these two are metatextually rebelling against the concept of slowburn, lmao

Dahlia Rose

Hi, unrelated to this unused strip, but I was wondering. With the magnets, is the Horse the usual 5 or is it 10 since it's bigger? Also with the kickstarter past magnets, are F-ckface and Dexter available? I see them in sets on the official store so was wondering if I could select them as part of my kickstarter pledge. :)

David M Willis

I thiiiiiiiiink I told somebody $7 for the horse? Fuckface and Dexter are available for past-magnet add-ons (but there's, like, five Dexters left).

Megh

@QueenOfSodor: I don't think it's so much rebelling against the slow burn as it is that we're just past the burn stage The fuse was lit 15 years ago, now we're seeing the explosion

Dahlia Rose

Eeeeeh. I hope I'm able to get one of those 5. I loved Head Alien so much back in high school that I carried around a little card I printed out of his character art. So it'd be really cool to have a magnet of Dexter.

Maude Reads Things

I love the filter! It looks great. I agree with Maggie, the unused one is hot but the other is romantic

Michael Steamweed

Mags is right. Very different tone. BUT...they can totally reprise the entire (very short) conversation after their next date (whatever those two might do, that can be considered a date...hopefully nothing as perilous as a police-assaulted protest). "I might be a teensy bit gay." "Oh, yeah? Prove it." "Well, okay then."

Michael Steamweed

Slipshines happen only when they commission Willis for it. But his Other Patreon might see some bits.
