Today is the grand finale, Minnions. Last chance to join in and keep the art going.
Jitter-great story. I'm a little grumpy waking up too, especially if things are already going awry.
Mirasol-I love the beautiful dawn colors and story about hawthorns which I hadn't heard before.
Once again kudos to everybody who joined in to this chapter break filler. I enjoyed them all.

midwesmutt, thank you for the comprehensive work throughout the break!

Mirasol, on your question: in Support, I mentioned how Emil is getting acquainted with the villagers and is for example doing child-minding for some of them. I suppose he would make some friends there and some of those would be interested in sharing beauty tips with him :) This would in any case be at least the following spring after Warmth, because they arrived in the late summer / early autumn ("after a summer apart" I think).

So he would have had time to make friends. On the other hand as Lalli is less interested in beauty (except that of Emil's) the discussions could well include some Swedish vocabulary (especially if the said friend was to interested they wanted to borrow the fashion magazines sent by Siv) and therefore would be mysterious to Lalli despite Emil's Finnish having improved.

Ok so another scene, Emil reading fashion mags with his friend(s) :)

Another chapter break successfully filled with amazing creations! I definitely agree that this has the potential of becoming a long-lasting tradition in the fandom!

:sparkle: Let us applaud once again our dear inventor Keep Looking and everyone who helped to make this chapter break filler happen! :sparkle:

Scottish, both the poem and the art are beautiful. Excellent use of watercolors and gouache (is it gouache? it looks like gouache ^^"), and I love how you did Tuuri's clothes.  <3

Jitter, great story! Your take on Nordic mythology as related to the SSSS world is very interesting, it makes me want to read more things like that. ;)

Lovely drawing, Mirasol! The tiny broken finnish flag is a great idea to convey Emil's broken finnish, I wouldn't be surprised if something of this kind was used by Minna in the future of the comic... x)

midwestmutt, a big bravo for all your Haikus!

I would have preferred to write about the Finnish gods, but the Finnish “pantheon” is a total mess :) And anyway Raganarök worked well here. If you like to read more about Odin the Wise (??), Neil Gaiman’s Nordic Mythology is good and easy :)

I know about Neil Gaiman's work but I've never read Nordic Mythology, maybe I should look into it! Thank you for the recommendation!

Yeah, it’s great! It’s based on the actual sagas but written into stories so slightly easier to read than the sagas themselves:)

Thank you all so much!! I went back and forth on how to handle Tuuri's dress, so I'm glad you all like what I settled on. I confess I fudged the hem pattern a bit, I'm not very familiar with Finnish patterns and what I could find online was vague at best so I just kind of emulated some of what Minna has drawn.

And a big thanks to Keep Looking, Jitter, thegreyarea, and wavewright for all you did to make this happen! It's a tradition I would love to see continue for sure, it really makes the once-dreaded chapter breaks a delight.

midwestmutt what an excellent sendoff, a toast to you as well.

Ahh what a cozy drawing, Mirasol! The broken Finnish flag in Emil's speech bubble is a clever touch.

Jitter what a fun scene! And a great explanation as to why Icelandic and Finnish magic re-emerged as well.

And I didn't know you had such a fine visual artist in you as well!

Believe it or not I actually went to school for graphic design!

It's actually very pigmented watercolor! It was made by Poemsaboutyou on Etsy, very nice quality. It's hard to tell in the scan, but the gold is really sparkly.

Mirasol, that's a lovely drawing! :)

Jitter, another great story! Really well done, down to that fantastic detail of a moment or a decade later! I love the way you highlighted how their perception of time would be so different from ours...
"Honey, it's time to wake up!" "what, now? Oh, just give me five more decades!" :D

Ah, the last day and I got very busy and distracted and only now have got to either this thread or the comic itself! Wonderful work as always, and as always I could never have anticipated what folks came up with. Scottish, the poem and illustration are just lovely. Superb colours, graceful words. Wonderful mythology, Jitter - what a clever way to account for the return of magic. And yay, midwestmutt finished the set! Great haiku. Mirasol, such a sweet scene, Emil looks suitably thrilled to be about to supersparkle his hair.

Kudos to Keep Looking, Jitter, grey, and wave for getting this going and running it so smoothly. It's made the break fly by.

Oh, I’m late! This was an amazing Chapter Break, I support the idea of making it a tradition for the Breaks to come!  ;D

I love today’s pieces, Scottish, that is a great drawing, I really like the feathers..  :D

Jitter, I love your story, I bet the beginning of that illness did seem like Ragnarök! O_O


Mirasol, lovely picture (I really like the light and you did well with the drawing of hands ;))


Midwestmutt, I truly respect the way you did it all the way through the Break... that’s great!


And also I’m joining everyone with giving thanks to all who worked on the break, so I did a little drawing to do so:

(If it doesn’t work again, here is the link to OneDrive)

Thank you everyone and especially you, who did the organisation and planning! It would’ve never work this wonderful without you!

Oh interesting! I didn't know watercolor could look so opaque, anyway you did a very good job with it!

Annuil, what an adorable drawing! There's even little sparkles!  :sparkle:

Thank you all! :)) I was hoping someone would notice the broken Finnish flag, so I´m so happy that you did!

And Annuil, that drawing is so pretty! And a great way to honor our amazing organizers.

Oooh, I would really like to draw that (unless someone else started already of course)! But I had to study yesterday so I didn´t have the time. Since even if I start now the chapter-break-special is already over (technically, except for Grey´s piece), should I post it here or in the regular art thread when it´s done?

Scottish, I have no trouble believing in your graphic design studies! It’s just that I didn’t know you have visual as well as the verbal arts in your repertoire. And the dress trims look very good! Your take on the subject also became extraordinarily topical with today’s page :tuuri:

Mirasol, maybe if you want to tie it into one of the prompts, post here, and if not, in the general art thread? Either is good. While the chapter break is over, there are always Wednesdays and weekends!
