The "No critiques please" all over the site is really what sells it for me.

All it needs is an embedded music file and the Angelfire banner and it's 2000 all over again.

Admittedly I've only gone through small chunks of her twitter (I can only handle so much at one time*), but where does the crushing nerds thing come from? *read my webcomic

It's the best argument for "Artists please never stop practicing". Most poo poo webcomics out there DO look like this, and keep looking like it for years because they do the "no critiques!" and "it's my ~style~" thing for real.

Even if you just compare CQ to Hiimdaisy, it's leaps and bounds more polished and beautiful Also, gently caress Megatokyo for being this all the time, and popular despite that.

So the link to the hiimdaisy livejournal just appears to be in Russian? And only goes back to 2013.The one in the OP, that is. Is there a different livejournal?

Though that doesn't explain why the old livejournal is now assimilated into some kind of Russian news thing as a paid account.

Livejournal is basically all Russians at this point.

Does NK have little bitty legs that he's just hovering over? I think you can just barely see them behind his smoke screen in the 3rd to last panel, and this just kindof makes him less intimidating to me. Now he's like only 50 feet tall instead of 100 feet or something.

Now he's like only 50 feet tall instead of 100 feet or something. He's a gas. He expands to fill the space, and he'd rather not hit his head on the ceiling. Or get the spikes stuck in it, that's just embarrassing.

I think that's where his cape is billowing? I feel like that sort of joke reveal wouldn't be an incidental detail on a page like this. EDIT:  Then again it's a funny theory. Misandu fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Apr 3, 2014 |

Gigi says that he just has really tiny feet. https://twitter.com/gigideegee/status/451462377393762304 All that gas is probably for preventing embarrassment.

I have a creeping suspicion that the Legendary Hero is somehow forced to become the Nightmare Knight after the world is saved. NK just seems to be doing things because he has to, and it'd fit with his lackadaisical attitude.

If the legendary heroes are always young kids, and they also are legendary heroes for generations, this hypothesis creates a problem.
