I'm creating an illusion for myself...that I'm actually doing something, you know.
Loose and kinda pointless idea of one of their many ineviatble tavern dialogues and an example of how I'm planning out pages (so profeshionul~).

Because that dialogue is really bad hahahaha...it wasn't really thought over, I just wanted to get the main idea down.
But especially for you, a wonky translation~
From panel 1 to 3 Manu is talking about his youngest sister (Chiliza). Buern is irritated, because all Manu talks about are his siblings, all the time. It became annoying and never really interested Buern in the first place, so he tries to change the topic and as a bonus- actually learn something more about Manu himself. And from panel 4:
- All you talk about is your family, you realize that? It makes you look more like an annoying granny than your sisters' brother...but what interests me- they're /there/. You are /here/. I feel that banishment or something similiar wasn't the case, am I right?
- What made you leave then?
- ...I don't even remember anymore.
- And anyway, from time perspective, there was no reason at all. My decision was born from sheer ingratitude...I had a good life...
- Dude! You don't make this kind of decisions just like that. There had to be something wrong if it made you take such a drastic step. I know something about this, believe me.
- Now it all seems so good for you. 'Oh yeah, home was so good, should have stayed there'. Nonsense. Time tends to cover your memories with sugar and lets you remember that things were better than they truly were. Whatever was your reason- I think it was good enough.
- Really think so?
- Yea.
- It kinda is the same with me. Sometimes I sit here, pointlessly remembering the old days. And when I get myself into the mood- I become to regret ever coming to this land. But thank gods...then I recall everything (as in 'all the reasons' why he did that).

It really isn't much of an excuse since it's mostly true. Dialogue in fiction is rarely as awkward or doesn't meander nearly as much as it would in the real world.
If TvTropes didn't keep rearranging and rewriting itself I would have linked you to a page about it.

I agree, of course...but most of the dialogues I write were considered incorrect and wrong back in school (mainly because I tend to create new informal words and mess the phrase structure- but I usually do it on purpose)...now, well...I'm writing them like that because I no longer get marked for it :P
And that page looks very interesting...thank you for the link!

I usually like dialogue outside the mold cause it isn't nearly as predictable as what they teach you in school. If I wasn't such an idiot I would be writing "horrible" dialogue too. :P
A bit of a warning about that site: It's spoiler heavy, very addicting, and it was made for fans, by fans, so it can be more than a little biased when it comes to what shows are talked about. That site is probably one of the reasons I got booted from college for low grades.

Well, it's just that most of my characters are...really simple, personality-wise. I can't imagine them chatting in an elaborated literary language...but it's also the lack of skill that gets in the way (I'm not a good writer, I just /like/ to write), so if something sounds completely inappropriate then I usually ask my friend for help hahaha...
lupinator did some great corrections for me too, for Homesick...I will probably upload that monstrosity here once it's finished (only two pages remain, ghh), with edited text...dunno yet.
Well, I don't mind the bias as long as it's an interesting read...and I don't have internet in the dorm, so maybe I'm safe hahahaha...

I like this dialog really. And, yanno, there is a lot of truth to it. I know I get like that. I forget all the reasons I left home and I feel ungrateful for doing so, but then I do come home and am often reaffirmed in the reasons I left. Yanno, I am grateful and in many longing ways I miss my old friends and family, but... it's just that, sadly, I do a lot better for myself when I'm away.
Anyways, I love your works as always, and this is good practice on my Polish. Thanks for overcoming your artblocks a bit. :3

I can't really relate to this particular thing but yeah...it is like that with a lot of things in life haha...
I think people are perfectly capable of figuring out what's best for them...at least most people do.
Thank you~ Though be warned! My Polish is wonky in style and I wouldn't recommend using it as an auxiliary material in learning this language ahahahaha...

Oh, I know we are very different on this matter and I am very dramatic about my issues. I feel like a dick when I say anything not-so-possitive about my parents and friends... but... I dunno.
I'm not going to pretend I know shit about any of this, and the most I try and be profound and understanding of things the more I feel like a moron for every trying to figure it out to begin with. But regardless, I like what this comic is saying.

No no, I've meant that I can't relate to the situation- simply because I've yet to move from my home. I didn't intend it to sound like I was criticising you or something...
And well, I know how that is but sometimes some stuff has to be said, or else you'd explode. A very human thing, I suppose.
There's nothing wrong with being profound and understanding, I always thought you're doing good job on that. Even though I won't admit it when it comes to my creations, because I have this tendency to belittle every single thing I do. Must be bad genes.
