Holly BRown is a bad artist, YouTuber, webcomic author, and fujoshi popular with edgy children for her "no bullshit" attitude despite not accepting any criticism.
She believes she's known for two webcomics:
Purgatory, her oldest and worst comic, about two gay teens in a cult with lots of rape:
https://tapas.io/series/PurgatoryParanormal Plague, whose most-drawn character hasn't been introduced, with rape DLC:
https://tapas.io/series/ParanormalplagueShe also wrote Chroma Prince, a Patreon-only NSFW yaoi comic about alien sex slaves. She only did 4 pages before shutting down her Patreon.
She's actually most known for ranting about the CalArts admissions process being unfair even though she was DEFINITELY accepted:

Let’s Be Heroes,” even to the point of calling him her husband and following an Instagram page called “professorvenomousisdaddy.” She even lifted her no fanart rule just for him.>Bragged about how she’s not a virgin on a livestream, even though she has drawn lots of backwards penises that indicate otherwise>Deleted ALL of Purgatory and has started uploading shitty redraws, even though she was super close to the finale of the story>The Purgatory Kickstarter has gotten significantly delayed, and she has been inconsistent about whether the rewards are being shipped, have been shipped, or are being delayed even further.>Scrambled to get things ready for San Japan:

>>871540No seriously. She is. Creepshow already accused her of scamming her fans out of their money and lying about what her kickstarter was for, and according to TD she was really upset by that. Like TD tweeted and deleted about how creepshow is a shit stirrer and doesnt know what shes talking about.
So I think Holly has just been hiding away, not saying anything until she can finally send things out because she knows if she comes back and talks about all the money she made, she's going to have to answer on where her kickstarter is and I dont think shes even sent it to the printers
No. 871602
>>871596It wasn't me but, honestly she COULD be good at merch if she were to go about it the right way but she doesn't. Holly's problem is she has ideas that range from good to semi passable as far as profitability goes but, she handles it terribly. Doing conventions are an excellent way to get money and form connections with other artist but, Holly refuses to swallow her pride and draw fanart which is much more profitable than her OC crap and she also turns her noses up at her fans and thinks herself better than other artists. She publicly shit on someone's commission, she has no idea how to be a decent person to others. Hell, the Laser cutter business could have even been profitable but, she started it at the wrong time when she should have been fulfilling KS rewards and getting ready for SanJapan she was fucking around with her new toy that she's already grown tired of. She could have had a steady job with Amazon or the Graphic design job but, refuses to take orders from others and threw a fit. It's no wonder she's blacklisted by so many people. The Kickstarter for a redrawn comic might have been nonsensical but, she even managed to fuck that up with how late she is at sending rewards out. People can shit on Creepshow all they want but, I'm glad she called it out and TD with her lard ass can go sit her leaching self down and kindly shut up until she puts in her money to help pay for shit.
Tl;dr- Holly is a fucking idiot that somehow shoots herself in the foot with every project she takes on because she refuses to do the smart thing and wants to do things her way.

>>874290ntayrt, but even then she'll probably still be pretty boring. For a while, she got a
little interesting again with the camgirl talk and laser woodcutter, but now it's back to stale milk. Unless she actually brings back all her accounts (YT, twitter, Patreon…), I doubt there will ever be any sort of substantial good milk again. Just a few entertaining things here and there, like how it has been the past 3-4 threads. The milk was ruined after the tracing drama. Which, with all the shit she's pulled (especially with the zine), I'm surprised that's what did her in. Anyway, these threads feel really sad at this point anymore. Holly depresses me the most out of any cow I keep up with.
I feel like every time someone brings up how long the milk has been dead, the farmers still react with "B-b-b-but wait! This thing here is going to be SO milky!!" but it never is at this point. Holly's fucking dead and boring. My next bet is the most interesting milk to come from her in the following weeks is she works at uber, quits, makes some new OC merch, tries to figure out a job she won't like for the fifteenth time, and still doesn't send out the ks shit, which no-one still will care about it or no-one that has/will gain any traction will bring attention to it.
No. 874364
>>874308>>874300I'm going to keep following to the end as well, but it's just that I have absolutely no expectations anything interesting will happen at this point, other than something occasional. I've enjoyed a bit of the job drama, laser cutter, and foot fetish crap, but none of it is as good as the milk used to be. I think it's just going to sizzle out, like you said. Even if she tries to rebound by bringing the accounts back, she doesn't have the following anymore. No following means no money for the small effort she'd have to make. She has absolutely no fucking patience and she'll abandon/shut it all down again because it's not immediate money. The only really good potential milk is if she becomes a camgirl, but even that won't last more than 3 posts spread out over 5 fucking days.
I think Holly will always be a 'cow' as long as she has a presence on the internet, but at this point, she's become a literally who. I don't see her becoming big again, either.
>>874336Agree completely. Even if it's the cardinal sin of the artist community, it honestly wouldn't have cancelled her. If she made a quick 5 minute apology video and moved on, everyone else would have moved on within a couple of weeks as well. Even though she pretty much destroyed her channel and its active viewership, it could've rebounded pretty quickly once she got back into the groove of it. Like I said, even with the potential to make money, if it's not immediately doing so, it's not worth it to her. Not to tinfoil too hard, but I do wonder at some level if she did what she did to get out of having to do YT

goddammit everyone in this thread is acting Peak stupid about this new twitter account. Holly obviously JUST made this account (it says created September 2019)
Honestly I feel like the reveal/drop here was made by someone closer to Holly, twitter usually notifies you if someone in your contacts makes a new twitter account (it’s usually because it’s linked to their phone number.)
Holly hasn’t announced this new account ANYWHERE just yet. It’s likely she was just waiting until she was a little bit more ready to reveal her return to twitter.
So since someone drops this here, we now know that Holly does infact lurk her thread here. And she’s bright enough to realize all of the people trying to follow request her new account are coming from lolcow. So honestly if you did try to follow request her new twitter you’re just outing yourself as a farmer.
No. 875232
>>875226She also took the time to block everyone she had blocked on her previous account so…
Holly, if you have the time to sit down an re-block god knows how many people you’ve blocked in the past on a new account you’re not utilizing, it just further proves how much time you waste doing pointless shit. Now go finish your Kickstarter.
No. 875239
>>875220 I've never actually read this comic so I never realized how terrible the pacing is.
Sudden relationship. Sudden cult killings. Sudden rape. None of it believable outside of Hitler being bad.
No. 875252
>>875221I don't remember exactly how it went in the old comic but for some reason this feels even more uncomfortable to read than it did in the old one. Was the old scene this long? I think if she gave subtle cues like the locking of the door and turning down the blinds it would have been enough to get the point across. Hitler also explicitly repeating over and over how much Simon looks like his mom spoils the audience figuring it out later through the flashback. We already see how his mom is literally female Simon and Hitler is in love with her, you don't need to write like your audience is retarded Holly.
I'm also not sure why so many anons are insisting this milk has been dry for ages, personally I found the feetfootstomping shit the funniest thing she's ever done since that thrust thrust rape doujin. It is true that this cow is much sadder to follow now though, even if you laugh you kinda feel bad, but she is an expert at self sabotage. She has been stripped of her YT success yet there is nobody else to blame but her own choices and poor money management.
With the amount of following she had before the channel meltdown she could have built something, even with the tracing scandal happening. I remember there was a point when Purgatory was newer Holly's fans would even send her physical fanart of the comic for her to hang in her room. Nowadays she even complains on streams about how people draw her characters if ever… she can't help having a shit personality which turns off her fans. She's nowhere at the level of fame to be able to treat her supporters like shit and come out unscathed yet she keeps doing things like this (ie. when she does commissions yet shits on her clients OC's). She dropped all opportunities she could have exploited like her Patreon (multiple times), selling fanart at conventions, commission work… plus overcomplicated her business. If she kept at her YT, did early comic releases and other shit on Patreon, commissions, and sold cute generic pins on etsy or something simple like BJ she would have an okay income by now. Cancel culture is fake and only works on people who are not amusing and Holly is an amusing person, she definitely has that going for her. That she even has any supporters at all after her shit attitude and so many scandals piling on her back is proof of that. I don't think tracing or the "Art Scrub" video were the end of her career as much as it was how she reacted to those and how she's now inconsistent and unable to rebuild what she had in her old channel. Her dipping out of social media as she has been doing for the past year (like her current hiatus) is the most damaging thing of all to her relevancy imo.

>>875220I don't really understand why she changed fat Hitler's dialogue. It just further hamfists how much he wants to fuck Simon's mom and sounds even more clunky than the original. At least the old dialogue made some sense, at least by Holly standards.
No. 875718
>>875694Yeah, and the dialog change ruins the consequences of the scene, too. Back in the old version, Simon couldn't call for help or tell anyone because then he would be outed as gay and then subsequently killed. It seemed like a big statement about the cult's treatment of gay people and related back to the main yaoi story.
Now, Hitler is just like "well, you got raped by me, but you'll still get killed too if you tell anyone, because… idk". It's just totally random now that Simon happened to get raped and is also coincidentally gay, which makes it pointless. Nice job Holly you ruined your own writing (somehow, considering it was already horrid)

>>875449>>875668>>875862With the old version she didn't have any lines on the clock, so I guess she added them in the redraw to add more "detail." But even without the lines in the old one I can see that it's about 1:20, but with the new one the hand placement in combination with the weirdly placed lines just makes figuring out the time super confusing. I would have either stayed lineless or just have a line for every hour instead of every minute, but this is Holly we're talking about so of course she'd take the most nonsensical route.

>>876374her jobs are all online based. she does door dash, post mates and uber. she has never had to show proof of insurance or proof license in order to do these jobs, because I know post mates and uber just allow you to sign up without a car and don't ask for any proof. Not sure about Uber, but I believe they want to know your license number and that's it.
holly has already gotten into 3 car accidents that we know of, and has talked about each of them online. I doubt that she has reported them, because if she has, that means her insurance is probably over 200 dollars a month, while her car payment is 500 dollars.
I don't trust her with these jobs at all, especially because a lot of it is based off of driving and customer interaction. If you are an uber or lyft driver, you can lose your job by being a jerk to a rider, and I guarantee she has probably had complaints. Same with postmates and door dash. She's going to end up getting fired. I give her a week before someone complains and get's her fired completely

>>876519 is correct then that would really explain why Holly has three "jobs" that take up so much of her time. These ride-sharing/app delivery jobs are super volatile tho. You can drive around 12 hours a day and earn less than minimum wage or work less than 7 hours and earn twice the minimum wage.

So I am guessing those are her jobs, but it has been hinted at on td's channel.
I used to work for both postmates and door dash, and you don't even need to interview or show proof on insurance. A lot of people do it in my area and they get stoned while they do it.
my guess is that holly started these jobs so she could be "her own boss", but didn't realize how long it would take her to get any money from these jobs. it also makes sense for her to go into hiding because creepshow already talked about how she most likely blew all the money she made on the kickstarter and now has to come up with the money, and pay 700 dollars in car payments, and possible rent

>>878360the biggest reason she gets away w/ stuff is a) she wasn’t that “famous” to begin with, at the height of her popularity she had, what, 100,000 subs on youtube? yeah, that’s a lot when you imagine that many ppl in person, but in internet terms, it’s barely a blip compared to the many many creators w/ millions of subs. and b) after moving accounts, that number drastically decreased. she also doesn’t do as many “tutorials” as she used to. some decent artists mentioned/followed her in the past solely bc they saw those vids, iirc. now really the only thing she has going for her is her regular art and this purgatory re-draw, neither of which are…uhhh…widely appealing to say the least.
still find it odd that she mentions paranormal plague all the time, even though she hasn’t updated it in forever. if/when she goes back to it, she’ll def “redraw” the pages for no reason just like she’s doing now. i thought she used to plan out her stories ahead of time w/ thumbnails and such. wouldn’t it help her if she did detailed outlines of these stories first so that she doesn’t get dissatisfied w/ them so easily and scrap several pages of work?

She uploaded a shit ton of new pages but one thing I noticed is that her redraws have gotten even worse with the start of book two. Even compared to her old art, like if you look these two pages, the comic on the right actually looks less sloppy and awkward than its "improved" version on the left, despite Sasha's manface.
Also, why did she decide to make her background suddenly turn into a brick wall in the new version? It comes completely out of nowhere and looks weird and random, just keep the skull BG from your old comic jfc

Holly just made a HUGE Purgatory update. She's now back to the last page before she deleted everything and started posting the redraws. Hopefully we'll get the "exciting" shitshow of a conclusion soon.
Also in regards to this update, the since the most recent pages were close to her current art style, she just did more updates of the character designs and slight touchups of the backgrounds and putting in dialogue where she forgot to previously. The pages are still shit though. The text is still terribly lined up with the speech bubbles and her attempt at improving the lineart in some places looks super sloppy.

yeah, hanging would be way more thematically appropriate. she really doesn't think in motion or at a zoomed out view of what's going on, so her fight scenes end up jilted. she needed to marathon a dozen action movies before she wrote this scene. but then again, that would be expecting her to reference anything.
besides, all these pages are so obviously rushed for the kickstarter that it's painful. she should have released the old version, even unfinished, to fulfill the kickstarter and use the new pages as a teaser for the redrawn book.
but that's expecting her to make any good decisions.

>>880837That's it?? Sebastian survived? Then when does Simon ever brave up in his character arch?
The story looks more like Sebastian's story since he resolved the conflict (from pastor in a cult to killing another chord member in a sacred place to protect his family) but what did Simon even do? If at least he had to build confidence to tell what was happening to him to his religious unaware father, not knowing how he would react, then I could see character superation. But here nothing happens, everyone solves things for Simon and Damian.
There could still be a plot twist but with how she's rushing the comic to have it end soon I'm not sure about it, she would probably rather jump straight to a happy end.
Did she ever show what happened to Simon's mom? She died because she was dating Hitler? What did her coded research even say and why did it matter? I don't get it… Not that I ever expected this to be a satisfactory comic coming from Holly but if your art and panneling is going to be weak at least give people a reason to bother with this story.

>>881249I'm sorry, but what the fuck.
she did no research whatso ever on this VERY intense and serious topic. Nothing, absolutely no amount of sexual trauma is suddenly fixed by "I should have been there for you son I failed ILY tho"
Any rape and sexual abuse survivor will tell you that love is not enough. It's nice to have support but it's a ROUGH ride on the road of recovery. Some people sometimes actually get ANGRY or defensive. It's so much more complex..
Oh but Holly definitely did her research and it's not a fetish or anything.

Draw ONE comic at a time and finish it before jumping onto the next one. Even if you come up some new idea for something to sell on Etsy or a new comic, just write down in a word document/notebook and shelve it for later.

She chose to not work on the Kickstarter rewards and then chose to resort to lying to cover that fact. She made every major executive decision during the BnHA zine. She chose to shit on everyone else in the industry, chose to burn bridges. Everything. She’s made all her own choices and the moment she has to suffer literally any consequences, even people just politely ASKING QUESTIONS that the deserve honest answers to, she’s goes to her catchphrase of “X Y and/or Z are making me wanna die” and because the threat of suicide is always taken seriously (and with good reason) people back off and then she goes back to making her bad choices.

>>881734you cute, acting like the statutory rape isn't her favorite part and thinking she'd want anyone to forget that for a second. besides, a major change like that would make him unrecognizable, there's no diversity in the way she draws faces. even damien looks absolutely nothing like his earlier self with this "i'm in an mcr cover band now" haircut.
it's just an unplumbable, infinite void of badness. a doctoral thesis could be written on how bad every artistic decision in purgatory is. an unending amount of suck, that once investigated just reveals even more suck. holly is a vacuum of unoriginality and amateur talent.

>>881803http://iselaespana.com/etsy-shop-suspended-prevention-reinstatement/https://dbdc.us/articles/what-to-do-if-your-etsy-shop-gets-suspended/Basically, you can get suspended for selling things you're not supposed to, for intellectual property reasons, for having too many charge backs, or for not selling handmade (like, reselling aliexpress stuff). They generally send you a warning email first and give you a week to figure it out before they shut you down. It's very difficult to get reinstated if you let yourself get shut down.

since i'm posting, i kind of wonder if i was the only person on here who heard her on stream saying how her dad was sexually abused at church and that's why he threw his life in the toilet. and that this was the whole inspiration for purgatory. So on the one hand you have someone escaping that situation to a happy ending like as a thing she might dream about for her dad.

>it’s another art job. She’s hoping a minimum of $15, but what $25 an hour. (Good luck)

>Is purposely trying to get fired from her jobs because she hates them that much.
>Work tells her to smile more (lol)
> She claims her Etsy store got shutdown because someone filed a complaint to her RazorLazer store. They apparently then filed to her personal ETSY as well. Since she was already on Etsy’s shit list they shut it down. (The way she describes this story is a bit sketchy though. Don’t know if I’d fully believe it.)

Book-wise, im not from the states and here amazon is just not available so can someone explain how their book selling works? Does Holly still have to package/ship all the books she buys through them?? Isn't that just more work for her? specially since she hasn't even shipped the ones from the KS?
No. 883001
>>882891Yep! It gave her panic attacks to have to use Corel Draw instead of Illustrator apparently.
How many times is she going to do this cycle before she realises it doesn't work? Like, just looking back at the sheer number of jobs she's taken just this year and then left immediately after should tell her she needs to chill out and just dedicate herself to one that she can handle and save. I know she's desperate for money and thought that the Kickstarter was somehow going to fund her new car and future apartment for years to come despite being told that's not how it works, but quitting 20 jobs in a year isn't great for the bottom line either. She has to grow up and realise that no job is perfect and all of them are disappointing and shitty in some way, and there will always be someone higher up on the totem pole telling you what to do.

Still can't believe she managed to go through the 10k from the Kickstarter in less than half a year, though. We know 3k went to the printer. Her car payment is so incredibly high I wonder if she even paid a down payment. If not, what has she used the rest of that money for?

>>883025buying mugs, buying the wood and wood finishes or whatever that she used the laser cutter on to make all of those dumbass designs, etc. maybe she actually saved some of it or put it down on her student debt, but her track record makes that unlikely. did she get her new expensive phone during that period?
i’ve been here since maybe the 2nd thread, and it feels surreal to look back and see someone who was once a normal amount of trashy just spiral more and more downward. she may have disliked college and struggled w/ it, but i think the routine and the fact that she had a goal to work towards was good for her. she was so close to getting her degree, and even if she just became an art teacher or something else she didn’t love to do, at least she could say she accomplished something. making vlogs showing all the “work” she did too seemed to motivate her. i mean she still livestreams and documents her life online, only now it’s just pity party after pity party. truly an example of “what you SHOULDN’T do as an art student/online artist/person in general”.

holly reminds me of a family member who doesn't love anyone and thinks everyone is jealous of and against her, fails in everything she tries because of her own mistakes but never ever admits to it, it's always people's fault, people who envy her caused her problems, if a problem starts in the house she starts throwing table salt to exorcise the evil spirits that were brought because of people's envy, if someone's sick, it's people's fault,even tho there's nothing about her that would make people jealous, she's extremely delusional.
sorry for blogging but I can't help but see the similarities, i think holly has trust issues and doesn't really love anyone let alone take advice from them,
i had sympathy for her because i have mental issues that make me give up of stuff after a while but i try to never affect others by it so her mental state isn't an excuse,
i still feel bad for her but I can't think of a way to help her at all.
my family member i talked about is at her late 30s with two degrees but with an unrelated job because she chickens out of serious jobs, she never changed.(no1curr)
No. 884152
>>884121All the suicide baiting is so people won’t be mean to her when she knowingly fucks up.
She’s not doing things like being a year and a half late on KS, maxing out her school loans without finishing, buying expensive useless shit, pushing away almost everyone in her life away by shit talking them and then never apologizing to them, shitting on and scamming her fan base , and accepting high payment plans from scammers on “accident”. None of those things were on accident, it was her own fucking fault over and over again. It’s no wonder why she had 19 threads in only two years.
She won’t learn, she chooses not to learn and is insane because she’s been doing the same shit over and over again and expects something different to happen every time.
Stop feeling sorry for her, she has not changed at all. She won’t now because that requires reflecting on how she fucked get own life up and god forbid something actually be her own fault.
Her mental state is not directly causing any of this. Sure it can be affected by how much she fucks up and the backlash from it, the depressing talk is probably genuine because of that.
But it’s still on her and her responsibility to take care of it herself, no amount of people going “I feel bad for you Holly because I’m mentally fucked up too.” Is going to fix it for her, if the internet has
toxic hate mobs coming after her then she should leave or limit how much time she can spend on it.
Or maybe her mom should because she’s already managing her time for her like the responsible adult Holly should have a clue at being by now.
It’s not 2017 anymore, Holly needs to grow up and get a fucking grip on her life. Stop blaming everyone else, stop blamin your mental state, stop blaming everything but yourself for your situation. Once she realizes it’s her own fault is for this is when she can change it, because she then might be able to change herself for once in her fucking life.

>>884442alright, so who else thinks this is actually her finally getting together all the stuff to START shipping out the KS books since the epilogue was recently posted? w/ any other artist, you might believe that they shipped out ks books before posting the whole story online so that the backers got their money’s worth, but we all know holly was posting the “re-draws” immediately after doing them bc she has zero patience, so she wasn’t even able to print the books until she finished that.
there’s seriously something wrong with the lengths that she goes to in order to cover up her scamming and laziness. it used to be cute to see what kind of dumb explanation(s)/excuses she would give ppl, but using mental illness as one? Seriously? if she’s at the point where she has suicidal ideation regularly or where she feels like she has no control over her life, then she needs to see a therapist asap. does she have a stigma against them or something? bc you would think that she would have seen one a long time ago, but iirc she’s never talked about seeing one or considering it, only about meds she has taken.

No. 884695
>>884683To be fair, I think she was saying that she kept having to reformat the pages of the comic/epilogue for amazon's print-on-demand service (to sell the books on amazon), not for her supposedly already printed KS books (that she ended up getting printed somewhere else IIRC, because she couldn't figure out how to get amazon to accept the files).
However, the fact that she hasn't shown any printed copies speaks for itself. I also don't get why she would make a formatting tutorial when afaik she hasn't even seen the physical copy of the book she just put up for sale on amazon. In her video, it looked like a lot of the art is going to be trimmed off (she only showed a few pages, but a handful of times half of the characters' faces/bodies were in the area that gets trimmed or squished in the spine). Unless I understand bleed/trim wrong.
No. 884697
>>884695I was actually wondering about this too - most of the stuff she showed in the video doesn't follow a single rule she set up beforehand, no trim, no edges, nothing.
Even months ago she claimed the KS books would be printed through Amazon (she had a different company in mind originally, but of course "they" weren't good enough for her), so I doubt anything related to Kickstarter has been done by now, since she would certainly have shown anything.

No. 885051
>>885031While I technically agree with you (and so do many of her fans, I believe), taking a break from her channel would almost certainly equal "not making any money" for her, at this point. While I think focusing on mental health is important, Holly IS an adult with a shitload of monthly bills to pay, so "taking a break" isn't really an option anymore. It would most likely only rid her of the last focus she has for anything.
"Focusing on life" sounds nice, but what does she have to focus on? No close friends, living at home with a family she low-key dislikes, probably hates drawing at this point and thinks most hobbies are a waste of time.

She should've kept that first graphic design job she had because she honestly struck gold by landing it. It didn't pay much but it was still almost double retail wages (like 12/hr I think?).

They let her off the hook far too often to the point where they’ll just consider their pledge a donation if she never ships it. This is why she’s able to continue scamming and being a lazy irresponsible shit.

>>885708Anon, sorry to burst it to you, but you sound salty as fuck here.
Yeah, I get that her zine was a trainwreck, but that was such a long time ago (and back then NONE of the involved artists would step forward, you included it seems), so I doubt her fans are fazed by that.
I also hope to the speghetti monster god that people will stop screaming for "call out" videos. She has no following to speak of. NONE. Her career is basically destroyed and the people still showering her with money are probably too dumb to tie their shoes correctly, so I would say "pot meet kettle" and move on. She isn't a problem for the art community anymore, she isn't even a part of it at this point. She has been cancelled completely.
No point in shoving it into her face just for the shits and giggles, anyone making a video on her now would just look petty as fuck if I'm honest.

>>885739When did bottom panel ever happen in the actual comic? She did zero work to build this relationship, they don't seem to like each other for any particular reason, it's dubious how they even became friends, nevermind a couple, and both seem absolutely miserable about getting married.

some sort of through-line.

No. 885885
>>885843This entire comic has shown me that Holly doesn’t even understand those tropes despite so much exposure to them. In this there are tons of tropes that start and don’t really go anywhere before the next one introduced in this horribly disjointed cluckerfuck of a “story”. There are cardboard cutouts with more depth. My fucking breakfast had more personality that everyone in this comic combined. Even more than understanding the tropes she doesn’t know how to tell a basic story or write a character at ALL. Before I came here I watched one of her videos in my recommendations about how to write gay characters. In that she some of her advice actually sounded reasonable and because it did I checked out her comic. I thought her art was mediocre but good writing can carry bad art, right? Imagine my fucking astonishment reading this shit. I thought the beginning was probably only this bad because it was her early work, surely the recent chapters are better, right? WRONG. Somehow it got even WORSE. Made me come to the realization that any good or sound advice coming from her is likely parroted from another more
valid and experienced source because she sure as hell can’t follow any of that advice. I wasn’t even surprised when I discovered these threads.
Holly, fucking finish this shit already. No amount of redrawing can inject some fucking life into these characters.
>>885738Why do I get the fucking feeling she wrote this entire joke of a comic for this scene and the scene with the Hitler rape? It genuinely feels like she wanted the rape to be the conflict, this to be the “deep” conclusion and no fucking idea how to connect those two ideas so got all this disjointed shit in the middle.

Your point still stands though. They're relationship is really rushed and hardly makes an impact. I would dare say the rape plot had more development than their relationship, which just shows how bad Holly's writing skills are since this is supposed to be a boy love comic. Way to go, Holly. You made a boy love comic focus more on one of the boys getting raped and groomed by some rando Hitler than the actual fucking boy love.

>>885731Ok this whole epilogue is seriously reading as if Simon has realised his relationship and marriage to Damien is pointless and boring and he's gonna run away to Hitler Jr's arms (someone he DOES have history and chemistry with and seems weirdly invested in his honeymoon).
I think Holly forgot that all the build up she's had of their relationship was solely in her head, so she thinks the pacing and the progression of their relationship makes sense. Narratively it doesn't at all, because the reader doesn't see any of it. From the start of Purgatory, we saw them make out in a library and cuddle in bed. Then Simon gets raped, and they makeout (and more?) some more. There's a time skip and then they murder the rapist and leave. They literally have like maybe 3 romantic scenes in the comic and they're pretty low key. We never saw them fall in love.
I think this is also why she pushes the fuck out of merch for PP, even though the comic has never surpassed 5 pages. She's spent years fantasizing about them in her head and thinks that's good enough for everyone, then is surprised people don't want a mug of her greasy slutty self-insert character.

The only other real famous artuber who’s overly positive like how she talks is Waffles but she was friends with her too I think? I remember seeing Waffles comment on her older vids.

What's sad is that, like Purgatory, PP has an interesting premise but she doesn't bother with worldbuilding beyond the absolute minimum so it's just going to be confusing and sucky. She should just give up on having a plot and go for slice of life comics instead because it's what she's clearly more interested in. And setting her stories in eras that she didn't live through and is too lazy to properly research (50s and 80s) is a mistake too.

I feel like, for some incredible reason, she STILL thinks having a job is not a part of, well, HAVING A LIFE. I don't know if you could call it teenager-mentality or just straight out irresponsible, but it seems she is suprised time and time again that she doesn't have a lot of free time. News for you holly, being an adult means working for a living. NOT dicking around all day. It is not your RIGHT to sit on your ass and draw Reese over and over and over, even if you want to. It's your backers right to demand products they paid for months ago. You don't deserve ANY compassion for having. to. work. Gosh, please PLEASE grow up!!!

>>888436Hmm, so she's making those pencil cases with the Simon cover art from the KS. Which makes me wonder if the Amazon Simon cover IS different from the KS Simon cover, and if so, the book she showed herself flipping through was from Amazon. Which would mean she still doesn't have the KS books.
Probably a reach since maybe she did just change the cover for both without mentioning it, but…
