Magical Floating Question Mark

Oh man, all this exposition sure is slow.
Altermentality:
I noticed that we got a lot of new additions over on TVtropes lately! I was so happy! I did change a couple errors that I found, but otherwise, as always me and Victor will leave the trope-hunting to you. Keep it up! <3
Also, Victor thinks this comic is boring but I’m like awwww
Skarva can be so nice and lovable sometimes, but at other times, his cruelty is like no other…
To be fair, keeping her safe from the general fray of Blank’s coming is a big concern for him. But yeah, he sees her as being a whiny, foolish, silly little thing with curiously little faith in his genius, doubtless because she’s just a child and doesn’t really understand love yet. He doesn’t realize she understands a different kind of love much better than he does.
I also think it’s cute.
Because it is. Also a bit sad…
Skarvas say ? and lorelies say !! all the time.
He was so confused at exclamation marks popping out of Lorelei’s head, that it caused a question mark to appear as well.
For some reason I really like that silhouette in the third panel.
And yeah, the tropes were me. My problem is I have to backtrack through everything to find examples and sometimes I get things a bit med up. My bad.
Aww, it’s no problem! I really appreciate your work, I don’t mind if you mixed up the names of a few places we’ll never visit again. But, you thought I was raising money to buy an iPad? Really? And you still donated?
I should blog about how I really need a 3DS next…
Also I just saw that you added more. Arrghghg you made my day so much better <3
Also, you remind me that I don't do the black-and-white thing nearly enough anymore.... It certainly isn't because Skärva is more chill these days. He's not.
Have you been linking back to our page by posting in the pages for the respective tropes themselves? You've already been a busy bee so I don't want to bother you about that, but it really helps us get some publicity. As it is we already get quite a few hits from TV tropes just with what we already had.
It was a while ago. iPad/graphics tablet, for someone who has neither, ran together in my head.
And yeah, I’m going through one by one and adding them now. And, no, I haven’t been linking, for two main reasons…one, I don’t want to OD the page on constant links, and two, I don’t want to make it too easy for people. If they want to find the page I’m talking about, I’ll make them work for it. It makes sure they don’t skip other pages
Oh no, I mean, for instance, if you go to “Villain Protagonist” http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainProtagonist and open “Webcomics” it links back to The Fourth. That’s what I mean, that we are represented on other tropes pages, since people are likely to be browsing through those and have their interest piqued if they read about our comic.
Also, with the “ironic echo” and Davis showing up at the castle, I’m glad someone caught what we did there. And it’s about time he got added to the puppy-dog eyes too.
Oh right. Well, I plan to go round to other pages at some point, but I wanted to build up the main page so I’d know which pages to go to.
It helps reading the whole thing from start to finish, to pick up on stuff like that.
i really like this one. i think it shows a little deeper emotion from all three. derk wants her to be happy but will still obey his boss, Skarva fears going soft or appearing that way to Blank (or doesnt want her to see him being evil with Blank), and Lorelei loves Skarva. just my thoughts and interpretations for this page.
That’s pretty spot-on, I’d say.
Also, ask people to put the examples both on the “The Fourth” page and the trope’s page. The more links out there to The Fourth’s TV Tropes page, the more likely tropers will take notice and come read!
Serious Derk.
Yeah, that’s what I was failing to communicate up there to Dac
Lorelei’s face in the second panel and Skarva in the last. *insert fangirling noises here*
SessWher Isaac is today’s Captcha.
…someone says where Isaac is?
Too bad there’s not some random one-shot character in this comic who could use a name.
That would be ‘issiino GREAT’ wouldn’t it?
he didnt actually “say” them
correction: SYMBOLS say ? and !! all the time.
and if you get the 3ds(alter), i will also. so i can buy pokemon black on a better system
rnitsai philistines
captcha must be feeling biblical right now. idk about that other word.
P.S.
the RABID GUY, A Random person, A random evil person, The rabid person, are all the same people . which is me.
jus so the other fans know. (if their are new-comers)
this would be a perfect time for skaervawh to drink out of his free mug and blank blasts in. and skarva acts calm like and breaks it down for Blank to explain whats gonna happen.
that’ll teach that darned hero >:)
what is a dolobt machinist’s salary? they probably ljke to eat frujts alot, and hurt people with “throat-latches”
I dunno if drinking out of a Frostbite Fortress mug is quite as cool as you are imagining.
Basically, if it’s a “person”, it’s you. You are all the people. You’re also all the guys. Not to be confused with men though, The Hanged Man is someone quite different.
It’s the sound effect police!
I hope to get one eventually. Victor already has one, the special Zelda edition. When Paper Mario 3DS comes out, that’s what is going to push me over the edge.
I ALSO WANT paper mario!!
NO SKARVA
If you let her stay you may get some sympathy points from Blank!
Noooo!
“cepagsh area”….? What’s a cepagsh? Is it an ancient artifact?
Actually, he should just have Lorelei offer Blank the potion. It’s like girl scout cookies – no matter the cost, you just can’t resist something being sold by a cute little girl!
A little girl used charm!
Blank is immobilized by love!
nshalia 1,759.
nshalia must be a small town i guess
I can! *goes to try*
*comes back with half the stock of cookies* I overestimated myself…
( deuresh save … who is Deuresh?!)
“She knows healing magic; that could be useful. Let’s keep her”
Yep, that was it. Also, “…and she’s good at obtaining food. Very good.”
