I have had the honor of working on two different comics projects with Don Hertzfeldt. Flight, and Fusion Future. But this is the story of my first interaction with the man.
My favorite part of it all is that it makes “Neopets violated the Geneva Conventions in the early 2000s” a completely true sentence.
Okay. So because the Red Cross, Crecent, and Magen David, on a white background are pretty much the universal symbol of medic, the folks who do the whole Geneva Conventions thing take an even dimmer view of Genericide (when a trademark gets so generic it can’t be used anymore) than even Disney, mostly because it could very well lead to war crimes.
Could you imagine if edward had just been some regular dude like fucking around with bella and she said with the utmost confidence “i know what you are…..you’re a vampire” and he’s just out there alone with her in the middle of the forest like
twilight au where Edward and his family just go along with it for kicks:
Rosalie hates it, Jasper sucks (or can’t keep a straight face) so he takes any excuse to avoid Bella, Carlisle doesn’t like pretending to hurt people so he decides his new persona has miraculous control, Alice and Emmett are LIVING this lie
they have an emergency family meeting to come up with basic ground rules and cover story but then just wing everything else
Edward had to tell Bella that they sparkle in the sun because Alice had dumped an entire bucket of glitter on him that morning when he got out of the shower
turns this is claude giroux being very good at avoiding pucks and not, as i initially thought, claude giroux being VERY bad at stopping even just one of them
