SP #61 and #62
8 years ago
I’ve been enjoying the responses to Space Pawdyssey #61. Felix dips his toes into heroism – in being the person he wants to be.
Of course we all know that nothing goes as planned and that will definitely be the case here. You’ll have to read more later this week to find out exactly how things go sideways for our protagonist.
My long term goal though is to have Felix grow as the hero. I want him to slowly turn into the person he truly wishes he were or more specifically I want him to turn in to a *real* hero – with both the strength and burdens involved. The end of the story is going to be loaded with Felix tidbits to chew on and I can’t wait to share them.
Some things people noticed as well:
- Rowan is really dismissive of Connor, despite his rank, calling him a “clod”.
Yup, Rowan has been dismissive of him since the alcohol incident.
- Really? “Clod”?
Yeah, I know it’s been used a lot in Steven Universe by Peridot but it was the best term I could find that was dismissive but not harsh.
- Where did Felix get the gun?
He got it from Connor, had it stolen by Lex, and got it back when he fell on Lex. At no point has he been able to return it to Connor so he still had it on him in the office.
Lex will show up again soon, as will Toby so if you miss them don’t worry, they’ll be back soon. From this point out there will be a LOT of Felix though with the other characters all getting their own moments here and there. Except Connor. Connor kinda gets the short end of the stick.
You'll also get more interaction between Lex and Toby and the rest of the crew. Oddly enough, Lex will get along with everyone (except Connor). Toby WON'T (except Connor).
FA+

I'm also going to have fun showing a very different side to Lex in his interations with the team. There's a reason he and Toby are together. Lex puts forward a tough front and wears his emotions on his sleeve but he's also very sweet and caring underneath.
