A Storm's Lullaby Page 147 [NEW]

Dear Patrons,

Based on your feedback I have decided to change a little bit how Lulu & Rusty plot begins.
Old Page 147 has been cancelled and this new page is added instead. Parts of the old Page 147 will be recycled as Page 149. 

I hope that this page shows how Lulu is slowly losing her will to fight and thus explains a little better what happens next.

This page was originally part of the earlier draft (and marked as "Rusty bullies Lu") I have scrapped because such pages sometimes upset people a bit too much. It is however true that by doing so, I rushed the plot and made the events less believable. I agree that readers are more patient than I often think they are.

Let me know that you think!

2nd to last panel of Fizzy, makes me want to open a fridge door and growl "ZUUL!"

Steve Lynx (Boulder)

I do want to keep both: her uncertainty regarding Thistle and inability to face Tempest.

Thank you :-) I'm glad we collectively made it better. It's a bit a combination of both. Something she says to Rusty but really to herself.

:-)

Not all those ideas are lost; there's still Page 149 based on old Page 147 ^^

it's a shame that we lose some basic idea in the original like Rust is a liar room or the idea that Thistle wouldn't want her anymore on this whim. but here we find another idea the fact that Tempest spreads an unstoppable fear in the memory of the pony and even worse in the children who would have seen it very closely. and especially since in the last shot she is alone. alone as in those nightmares in the middle of nothing from a point of view of these emotions. so for this page number I had for the new one and for the old one.

Lux The Pegasus

In the earlier scene Thistle did hold/shield Lu, but she also scolded her for being disobedient and sent her away. So Lu probably feels some sort of break in her connection to Thistle. And Fizzlepop "coolest mom ever" Berrytwist turned out to be the one creature she fears more than Rusty. So hinging her inability to go back on Tempest, that's an inception/manipulation I can believe is going to take. And basic enough to be something the Rusty I imagine would come up with on the fly.

Now this ... is goood. He' using what he knows is on her mind right now against her. Is the last panel supposed to have a speach bubble, not a thought bubble? It feels like something she'd think, not say out loud. Or maybe a combination of both? I really like how the last two panels illustrate her fear and loneliness.

Upsetting people is often a side effect of novel and great content.
