Poking Around Pt 116
Added 2021-10-25 07:34:51 +0000 UTC
And so we draw a close to this drama, and finally marry the two initially-unrelated arcs of Poking Around. Phew.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, this was a bit of a painful part to draw but fairly cathartic. Thank you so so much to everyone who continues to support this story. Certain variables pending, I hope I'm able to bring you the next arc, where the fun stuff starts. Please look forward to it.
TL Notes:
- Starting Life Again From Point Zero: The title stems from the franchise Re:Zero – Starting Life in a Different World
- "She is so jealous": A song from a terrible video game.
- "Bauhaus": An early 20th Century art movement in Germany. Arguably ‘modern’ as we recognise it nowadays, the movement had an emphasis on geometric shapes, minimalist form and function. A lot of Bauhaus-style philosophy carries through to modern furniture design and architecture, and directly inspired the style of Bo’s airport-control tower home.
- ZigZagZoom: A portmanteau of a creature I completely forgot about until the bf reminded me, and Zoom, which was popularised for teleconferencing during the events of 2020. At the time I originally wrote this part back in 2018, it was supposed to be a riff on Skype and Scorupi.
- "Freedom, indeed": Freedom by Michelle Gayle, a song I really like.
