Fan Art Time!
Check out this Handcrafted Selkie Plushie on DeviantArt!
I decided not to put a picture of this in the Fan Art page yet… because Green-Glowsticks has offered to mail it to me! So I will take a picture of myself with it for the fan art page when it arrives.
Panel 3 is my attempt at an "interesting" transition panel. Feels a little random to me, but hey now I can say I drew an extreme close up of a bumper.
I think it would have been more effective of a transitional panel if you had zoomed out a bit more. It was hard to recognize what I was looking at.
Oh kids can be so cruel 😡
And people were skeptical they would make a good parents… Having a different lifestyle does not make someone a bad person.
Also, that was an interesting choice of words from Keisha. “You ditched me”. It’s interesting that she used the word “me” as opposed to “us” despite the fact that it was Amanda was the one who cried because of it.
Haha, Facebook it?? (okay i would do that too ^^)
Aw I hope Keisha doesn’t give Heather TOO hard a time…after all it wasn’t really her fault
You know, I think that Keisha is a tad bit harsh on Heather. After all, they were orphans together and Keisha would know that reality doesn’t work out like fantasy, that they wouldn’t be able to stay together.
I think she’s more pissed that Heather didn’t at least say goodbye. That would make me mad.
//Keisha would know that reality doesn’t work out like fantasy//
They’re little kids. They still believe in Santa and the power of wishing.
:-l
Oh come on, no one could be that dillusional, what are they 8?
[Are they? I forgot, no seriously]
How petty can you be? “Oh u gotz adepte’d bee4 meh, og, u suk”
Unfortunately, children are like that. You break a promise to them, you break a promise. They’re a little superficial because they don’t exactly have the same, mature way that we look at the world. They haven’t learned enough yet, they’re too young.
I remember I was a lot like them when I was 8. If someone broke a promise to me, it upset me.
Plus, in kid world, a pinky promise means the world. If you break a pinky promise, that’s extreme.
I hope Keisha will accept Heather’s apology. After all, Keisha doesn’t know that Heather wanted to say good-bye, but was convinced by her new mom to just hurry into the car.
A pinky promise most certainly is serious. Adults seem to lose sight of what’s important. If you say you are going to do something, either do it or apologize for not being able to. You don’t just brush people off and forget just because you get caught up in the moment.
Actually, yes, they can be that superficial, and yes, I think they ARE 8. And from the perspective of a little kid, yeah, it’s a pretty big deal.
Also, the word you’re looking for is ‘delusional.’
I thought I misspelled it, damn.
A bumper? Is that what that is? 😛
Ah, kids. So certain of their ability to control the world.
Gain a family lose a friend. What a sad choice. Hopefully she forgives her before they are at their 20th class reunion.
Oh, dear. This is gonna be bad.
Awww… the plushie is SO cute…
Hmmm…a tight knit friendship between Selkie and Heather will perhaps form now because they’ll dealing with people giving them grief over getting adopted….
Yeah… they´re going to form a “Amanda and Keisha don´t like us” club.
If they do, it won’t last. The minute Amanda and Keisha change their minds and decide that Heather’s suffered enough and they forgive her, she’ll go right back to them and leave Selkie stranded.
Don’t assume the worst of heather just yet. If it was Amanda, I’d agree because she’s been shown to be shallow and cruel. We don’t know much about Heather yet, so who knows? She might be more than just a “Fairweather” friend.
I was what I was thinking, too. All the focus being put on Heather in this chapter should lead to her doing something important to Selkie’s story. That’s what I’m hoping. I can see Hamud taking Heather’s place and Heather getting close to Selkie or Selkie’s friends because of it. Heather could make or break the atmosphere of Selkie’s new school year. That or Heather will decide to leave the school entirely and go to the academy, but her leaving the story would be no fun and I doubt she will.
Either Hamud takes Heather´s place, or Heather tells Hamud that Amanda was lying about Selkie, and thus redeems herself in Selkie´s eyes.
I fear for Heather when Amanda gets a hold of her. o____o She’s probably about to be b*tched out pretty badly.
Oh poor Keisha…she feels betrayed.
So Heather’s parents are indeed good people, yes?
Oh, splendid types, I for one never doubted it.
What?
Wisconsin! Yay!
These girls don’t realize something. People generally don’t want to adopt three girls at once.
Yeah, but they’re EIGHT. When I was eight and if I was in an orphanage, I would pinky-promise with my friends that we would all get adopted by the same family! I think people are forgetting that these are just little kids, not adults or even teenagers.
*sighs* So Amanda is clearly Regina George. I guess this makes Keisha = Gretchen and Heather = Karen, yeah?
I’ve actually never seen Mean Girls, so I have no idea.
Gretchen is pretty but terminally insecure and Karen is sweet-hearted but dumb as a box of hair.
Awww… maybe Barb won’t be such a bad mom after all.
Oh, I had no idea “pinky-promise” was an actual thing… Now I finally get the reference in MLP!
