There's some more goodies to share today!

First of all, an lil' animation from u/Repulsive-Flight9673 https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wp9z81/hopefulness_page_109_animation_meme/ It's the first time in my life I've ever had anyone animate something of mine- And I must say, I'm honoured. <3

I was rather late to the party on this one, by u/TheQuestionDoge but I love it all the same; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wmh5id/hopefulness_characters_in_mgsv_fan_art/ I can definitely see Stringbean as Snake. I really need to play the MGS games sometime. Or, well. I just need to play something that isn't Rimworld-

Teddy my goat

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

oh my god i love it so much! everything about this page is comforting in some way even down to them wondering about the meaning of their numbers in a similar way to humans staring at the night sky pondering the universe <3

u/Myoxocephalus 22d ago

Here’s another adorable detail for you:

When Biscuit first comes over to comfort Teddy, they sit with their good arm facing Teddy, which makes sense, because their prosthetic is no good for hugging someone.

When Biscuit moves so the prosthetic faces Teddy, not only are they putting their literal vulnerable side towards Teddy, they’re mostly giving up on the ability to hug Teddy back. Biscuit wants to be the one getting comforted, and this is their little way of asking for it :)

Biscuit literally has “comfort” and “be comforted” sides, and you can tell what Biscuit wants out of a character by which side they choose to put them on.

My happiness rises exponentially every time I see a new upload, before crashing down whenever you give us a trauma panel

Pretty much balances itself out

u/ShyBiGuy9 Forklift Certified Expie 22d ago

With the revelation that Teddy's handler had a nasally voice, I am now firmly convinced that they sound like Skeletor from He-Man & the Masters of the Universe

"Nyaaah, 58774! Today's experiment will require you to eat the entire contents of this extra-large air fryer!"

Also, that last panel, my heart :3

Sometimes, family is found rather than born.

Well, thats a head canon that will never go away, now. Not that I mind. ... Nyaaaa!

u/Bradfox17 Hasn't played the game yet 22d ago

This- This is probbably the greatest immage of this comic.

u/Myoxocephalus 22d ago

Biscuit knows what Hell is, knows they’re in it, and still chooses to be a sweet little goober…

I’m glad Teddy found the strength to embrace the role of Biscuit’s Dad, they needed this.

u/Ok_Worldliness_5592 Can i eat gunpowdah 22d ago

I wonder what Orion and StringBean are doing

9

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Having negotiations. Maybe, aggressive negotiations. Depending on how defensive will Orion be. Damn, I'm burning to see the next two pages, as we don't know how pages long will the dialogue between Teddy and Biscuit continue before Blue decides it is enough and he should show the more... tense dialogue.

5

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

I'm burning to see the next pages too

16

u/Cybercreeper101 Heart powered by batteries 22d ago

Emotional support teddy :)

u/HospitalAdmirable141 22d ago

I'm glad this part ended nice, I sure hope the other part (stringbean and Orion) goes smoothly as well

u/Samson_J_Rivers SAW-08 Sanctuary Operator 22d ago

Stringbean has had enough.

u/Correct_Dig4244 Let's not give up just yet 22d ago

Omg they are so precious

18

u/What-the-Flying-Fox 22d ago

Don’t worry Biscuit, I’m sure Stringbean and Orion are having a polite and civil conversation about their prior actions. Right?

11

u/CancerousPlaystyle 22d ago

Stringbean looked a little pissed walking off with Orion bro idk about that

5

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Polite and civil, right?

7

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

They will have negotiations. Maybe aggressive negotiations

u/Strict-Star-841 21d ago

May God have mercy on Orion.

u/XxD3V4ST4T0RxX expies are made of flesh chunks 22d ago

hopefully theyre not too upset about orion breaking the airfryer

5

u/Wild_Strike_3234 Sawian Rights Advocate/Expie 22d ago

Considering that they learned from the elder expie about not holding a grudge, then they probably won't be too upset, but they will ask questions though

12

u/ImANormalMan Geofroot 22d ago

Teddy being a teddy :3

They just never end...

u/Altruistic-Tap1906 22d ago

I'm just glad teddy's goofy ass got biscuit to smile. Help others to help yourself and all that

10

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Wait, am I tweaking, or Biscuit doesn't have a tail in the first two panels after the only-dialogue part?

12

u/CharuV3 22d ago

Yeah, Biscuit's tail got maimed off early on when Stringbean found them and tried their best to save as much as they could.

14

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

I understand everything, but this comic sometimes makes me question if I am high, dumb or blind...

8

u/CharuV3 22d ago

Might've just been something the author didn't come up with then (or they forgot to not draw it full) because yeah, there is a clearly defined tail there.

Could've sworn bluewolf commented somewhere about it too when someone asked. Or maybe I'm dumb as well.

12

u/bluewolf3691 Expie 22d ago

Biscuit's tail has been 'cropped' since forever, basically. But it's more that as time went on, I made the tail shorter to drive the point home.

6

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Oh okay, it explains a lot

4

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

holy throwback what a panel to compare to this one

3

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

i mean yeah that makes sense but it didnt look like its TOTTALY gone

5

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

wait .... yeah wtf? wheres his tail?

3

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Here, a better panel, page 87. I didnt notice it until today

6

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

i mean yeah but his tail isnt THAT short right? it looks almost completely absent/stubby

3

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago

Yhats what I mean

u/BitCareful3571 22d ago edited 22d ago

Im not even correcting it, why do I miss the letters so often with my fingers

1

u/MycologistVivid9975 22d ago

I think biscuits tail is tucked between their legs since they are upset and scared so it looks shorter then it usually is

u/Smart-Ad57 Expie 22d ago

yay

u/youngpcbuilder 22d ago

I loved this frame so much and I am sorry about this

u/No-Tangerine-6045 Milky weed lover 22d ago

u/WoblelBloblel 22d ago

Teddy comforting Biscuit. Love it.

I do wanna say that Biscuit's text color is noticeably harder to see on a dark background compared to a light one. Would lightening it a few shades help?

u/EBEN_u_Tochka-67 Red League 22d ago

Objectively speaking, they will be able to return home if they retrieve our cargo...

6

u/ShyBiGuy9 Forklift Certified Expie 22d ago

"Returning home" in that case would probably be The Company giving them the Ol' Yeller treatment on account of all the shit they've seen in the caves...

u/Topaz-Light Likes Sawians a normal amount 22d ago

Teddy is so sweet... I love them and I'm so glad you decided to keep them around as a major character...

u/MShades 22d ago

I'm reminded of the comic "We3" and the line that made me have to go sit down for a while:

"Home is run no more."

6

u/Swimming_Article_281 22d ago

man i look forward to this everyday : ) i love seeing their moments like this i love imaging different scenarios and how theyd react to them no matter how implausible like their numbers, could you imagine how theyd react if they meet an american? and realized some humans had their own numbers? or how many people would love/hate them if they knew they existed?

always a pleasure to see your posts thanks for making them bluewolf!

u/Eldanoth 22d ago

AHHH, my heartstring are being pulled QwQ

u/Graknorke 22d ago

I guess having that big snout WOULD make them sound different from humans. Hadn't thought about that.

u/ColdofWinter1 Expie 22d ago

Biscuit's last line... God that hurts... I'm glad Teddy is there for them though

5

u/Arentvos Intermediate player 22d ago

Them being there for each other and them being able to lean on each other for support is the best thing

He is big, kinda jolly and technically has a cookie depending on how you count biscuits

Imagine Deaths Stranding on the gray planet.

u/Wild_Strike_3234 Sawian Rights Advocate/Expie 22d ago

I'm so glad Biscuit is no longer sad. Now the only thing I hope for is for Stringbean and Biscuit to meet up again and make up for what happened even though biscuit doesn't blame anybody. (Which is pretty much gonna happen based on the description from yesterday's comic page)

TwT Repositioning for optional snuggle bugging…

Home is where family is

Or better yet, “*Ohhana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten*”

Aghhh they’re so good TwT they deserve the best ~w~ but the plot…

Another amazing choice in music, and I’m really happy you’re cracking more of these out(But I won’t lie… This one made me realize I never properly watched the end of Owl house ;-; fuck)

Anyhow, I love the newest fan arts 0^0
I unironically keep going back to that silly animation >^< “Bang-“ it’s so amazing…
Also
I am happy to know I’m not the only one who was late, I recently saw their prior post and finally got around to commenting I think a day before I got to your post :/
(My backlog of stuff may have taken my time a little)

While rimworld addiction is real… MGS games are also very enjoyable, especially depending on play styles. I’ve enjoyed Phantom something(I always forget names…) a bit but relapsed on rimworld ~w~(I enjoyed recruiting people in both >:3)

They made some damn good interesting and quite unique fan art though :3
