The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Flairé Never Shuts Up

Flaria: And now, time for some music!

Flairé: Yeah!

Flairé: And I’ll need my pipe, and my… whistle? and those drums, and the guitar…

Flaria: wouldja shut up for two seconds together?


Ever get the feeling they’re siblings? LOL. So yeah, now they’re going to play some music. Not much else to say. Except that for some reason when I was inking my hand was sliding all over the place so there are some weird smudges everywhere and I’m not really happy with anyone’s face except for Flairé and Leslie’s in the bottom panel. And Flairé’s supposed to have a stool, but I forgot to draw it. Oh well. He’ll have one on Wednesday. Also, this page has answered a question that many people – me – were asking about Deerfleet – does Deerfleet have pants? The answer seems to be YES HE DOES. Mystery solved!

Omigosh, only two more pages left! These last days have just whizzed by. I’ll be done soon!

In other news, we have lost our dear, beloved conductor Janos Sandor, who just retired from 15 years of conducting the UVic and GVYO orchestras. He died of cancer on Friday. He was always cheerful and upbeat, and an amazing musician. Everyone loved him. We will miss him terribly.

Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

Jen: That’s right!


Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.

Flaria: Hooray! You’re back safely!

Flairé: Yes, indeed we are, sister! Do you have food?

Flaria: Oh, Flairé, just look at these rips and tears… Do you know how long it will take me to fix that? Continue reading

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: You’re Still Here!

Jalril is waiting beside a glorified hole in the ground in a swamp.

Jen: Jalril! You’re still here!

Jalril: I am. You are unhurt, all of you?

Flairé: Never better. Let’s get away from here, though.

They ride off into relatively blue skies, if not sunshine.


What, you expect SUNSHINE in the Pacific Northwest? Fat chance! lol, actually it was pretty sunny out yesterday. I should know. I went shopping all over town.

I hope I never have to draw swamps again. Or forest roads. I’m soooo bad at them and they just annoy me. The hillside was supposed to be lush and green but I fell into the same kind of mistake that I make with my mini bases and made it mostly dirt instead. Blah. But isn’t Deerfleet cute? I adore Deerfleet. He’s just a kid.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Daring Swordfights

Flairé, Leslie, and Jen dash for the exit, fighting their way through more enemies.


Okay, fun fact about this page! Leslie was going to help out by throwing rocks at people, because she’s helpful, but the first guy she threw a rock at just swung his weirdo-weapon (whaddya call that thing anyway? It’s not an axe, or a lance, or a long-handled sword, or a scythe… what is it? …a pole-blade? That’s a dumb name) like a baseball bat and almost got Jen in the head with the rock. So Leslie decided it would be better if she didn’t throw rocks.

The archer isn’t very good, though.

What’s that in the last panel, though? Could it be…?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH my news is so crazy I have to scream, okay? I’ve been perpetually mentally screaming since about 4:45 yesterday, when I found out I’M GOING TO THE PROVINCIALS AT NATIONAL LEVEL AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH That’s crazy talk!!! I’m nowhere near good enough! I’ve improved a ton over the last year but not that much!! I’m no Shika Card!

Also, I have a really shiny scroll made of red wood. Dr. Robin Wood Memorial Award! Seeing as the last five winners are Shika, Lisa, Shika, Lisa, and Shifra, that’s pretty impressive company.

Btw I’m a little suspicious of all this good fortune. Perhaps I play certain styles really well, but my technique leaves a LOT to be desired. While I’ve improved, there is still no guarantee I will play all the right notes! And this is why I don’t think I am really fit to be recommended to all these awards and things.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Let’s Go!

Leslie: Of course I can! That swordfighting was amazing! You didn’t even kill anyone!

Flairé: (rubs the back of his head awkwardly) Eheh, no, I didn’t. People would be really mad if I did. Never mind the fact that I ought to be really mad at them for what  might have happened to you!

Voices from further in the base: Intruders!? Where? The prince? Where is the captain? Get them!

Flairé: Let’s go, my ladies! We still need to get out of here!

Leslie: (goes CHOMP on the bad guy’s hand)

Enemy soldier: AAGH

Other enemy soldiers: OH NO SHE HAS SUDDENLY BECOME FEISTY

Jen: Why is feisty only applied to mildly violent women? Continue reading

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Angry Face!

(totally hardcore battle-noises as Flairé fights off the assassin group)

Leslie: (appears out of door behind Jen) Flairé!

Jen: Yay!

Flairé: ‘Lo, girls.

Jen: Flairé! –

Leslie: (YOINK)

Black-haired assassin: (holding Leslie at knife-point) Stop! Surrender!

Everyone: …

Leslie: … >: (


Page is sketched. I invite you to compare it to the original stick figures in the last two panels. ttncaofleslieangryface

I think I like the original stickies better. The Leslie angryface >: ( anyway.

The guy holding Leslie is totally based off of Edgeworth. Except with black hair.

Colour will be up later but for now I have to practice while my chocolate rush is still on. Mmm… I love chocolate.

SO I GOT A SILVER MARKER and it’s pretty cool but I think I overused it.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Baby Griffon

Leslie: Deerfleet?

Jen: A really nice young guy. He wants to be a warrior like Flairé, but he’s not very good yet. Like me. (Jalril is shiny and serene, with a baby griffon curled up at his feet sleeping) Nice dress, by the way.

Leslie: Thanks! Flairé got it for me.

Jen: Anyway, shall we go? We have to make sure Flairé’s all right.

Leslie: If he’s not all right, aren’t we in trouble?

Jen: O_O This is true. (runs up stairs) Flaaaaaiiiiiréee!!


Hi! I’m very pleased with the way Jalril turned out. And look he has a widdle baby griffon with him! Leslie is somewhat perturbed by my hyper good cheer.

Darn. I forgot the flowers in the grass.

If you take a look at the sidebar, you’ll have no doubt noticed that I have decided to participate in Script Frenzy (the April NaNoWriMo, after a fashion – only this is to write 100 pages of script in 30 days!). You may even have noticed that it’s going to be about Flairé. Maybe you will panic, thinking that I’m going to abandon this current comic. Well, fear not. This one I will be sticking with to the end (which is in about ten more pages). But I do have plans for sequels, and while I will be taking a break between episodes to recuperate the old creative abilities (and maybe to improve my art? maybe?) I do want to continue this project.

My brother is also going to do maybe his own private Script Frenzy for an opera libretto.

The Script Frenzy website, by the way, is well worth visiting if only for the plot generator on the front page.
