He has a lot stored inside already, too. (I compared him to an updated icon of his Mum - he's the spitting image of her. Takes after her most too, which adds an interesting possibility as to why Buzz seems to resent him so much.)
I really hope there will be some story involving these elements. I sure would love to go back in the past to see your take on what happened to that family in its early years and what happened to the boys' mother.
And I think a sequel with Buck would be quite cool - so we can see how this life has affected him.

I'm ahead of you ;) I just now got this weird idea about how I'm gonna explore that, too... ;) As for Buck, he's one reason I'm planning a sequel. Had a lot of other ideas too.

Brilliant Chapter! Positively Brilliant without nary enough superlatives in the world to describe it! Good show! You've got the characters spot on as I imagine them, even Ripp's unfortunate tendency to say the very things that ought not be. Even telling his dad to go finger himself, I was shaking in me boots with that one for him. Good job Buzz didn't kill him! It's odd how beating the boy seems to be the all too common reaction upon learning that he is gay. I've known a few gay friends in my lifetime(one Samoan, two Britons) and all were severely beaten by male relatives upon being outed.
I love how you've characterised the Smiths, oh I speak too hastily, I like how you've characterised everyone in the series thus far!
You've done a splendid job photoshopping it as well. I can hardly wait to see the next part!
Thanks! :D That bit about "using a finger" is actually a response I'd love to see IRL one of these days (the old "don't knock it 'til you've tried it" saying). It was his way of trying to defend what they do, but in so doing he slipped up big time :pale: The resulting beating was more a combination of things; getting caught "kissing a green guy" was bad enough, but then the boy goes and makes things worse.. if your Dad's already looking about to kill you, you don't go and call him an "asshole" on top... but then, as was mentioned, anger does funny things to your use of speech.
Glad you like my take on the characters :) Yeah, the Smiths just strike me as one of those idyllic families where everyone's happy; no treading eggshells around the parents, everyone gets on - and there was the stark contrast of the confrontation at the Grunts', and Johnny's very open account of the day to his Mum - and her equally liberal reaction. Oh yeah, remember that scene I showed you? You'll see that next chapter, as well as how I handled the next bit - I did take on board what you said about some of it, too ;)

LOL I know, I'm a tease ;) Why did I stop there? Um, because it was a good place to stop? :tongue3: Thinking about it, the chapter needed to be short really. The next one's a looooong one, hope you don't mind the amount of text you'll need to read through... :angel:
Thanks all of you for your comments, it's been very encouraging reading through them (especially on the pictures), glad you're still enjoying it :D
mattitje:
Nah I like to read xD...
Astral Faery:
Ah, Sadie. We know why you stopped there - it's because writers like to torture their readers, lol! (oh - and hopefully bring them back to see what happens next). ;)
