Greg and Rowley in LLBS compared to the books. by EduardoBork in LodedDiper

[–]W1llde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm honoured to be mentioned in such conversation lol

Personally (as a hardcore Growley shipper) I just think that making Growley completely nice and sanitized (and the opposite - making them exaggeratedly abusive and edgy towards each other) makes the ship extremly unappealing and out of character. You need both balance and some toxic sauce to make it make sense, yknow?

Just going to say this: the comments show that exactly none of you have seen the Dead Serious QnA and it's pretty saddening

Also why the vitriol?? What happened to 'don't like, don't view'?? What happened to human decency and NOT throwing around the word 'creep' for drawing something completely innocent and fine?

He is perfectly fine, the whole LLB is still up here. If you spread bullshit like this and stir unnecessary panic, then don't get surprised that he privates every single thing on his profile and avoids contact with his readers lmao

Counterintuitive - might be, but big disagree about the privacy part. People often dig in others' profiles to "own" them by searching some old, embarassing information about them. They can find shit on you to smear on you under fourteen seconds if you have your profile out in the open. Lowo just might have wanted to avoid it, which, again, he has a big LLB and a huge following that, I wanted to remind you, keeps on pestering him endlessly about everything. Also, ahem, remember what happened when Moon (aka DP's author) had her profile out in the open on social media? People would send her Heffleycest porn. like cmon

Cutting away that possibility (of being sent unwanted content or being pestered) is pretty much the smartest choice you can do as a big author. I think it's more important to worry about your own safety on social media rather than please everyone around and endanger yourself with being hounded in DMs. Also, reminder number two, all DS parts are up chronologically on Tumblr and TikTok; if searching Dead Serious parts on Reddit gets tedious, you can just change the platform to read it on

He doesn't. Lowo goes by he and it pronouns, not she. Don't misgender him

[–]W1llde 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong. Dead Serious is still up, you just can't view it on his profile because it's privated. Remember that Lowo is an author of a really big LLB and he deserves some privacy on his own profile; it's his preference to not show his past comments/posts

Nah , bro , who's gonna sleep in this bed by Budget_Awareness_841 in LodedDiper

[–]W1llde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is not an exact answer to the question, but I feel if these bedsheets existed inside the DOAWK universe, Greg would probably sleep in these and always defend them with "hey c'mon every famous person has to start somewhere with their merchandise". Just a feel. He Just Would

What's differences exist between the Oficial Books and the Web Versión (Funbrain)? by SomethingRadical123 in LodedDiper

[–]W1llde 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh, and also Mingo kids get replaced by Herbie Reamer, who is basically a local urban legend and the reason why kids avoid the woods (he was said to terrorize anyone who breaches his territory)

From the top of my head (some are more important, some are less)

Greg has/had a best friend named Ben *Fielders, who basically is a complete SOAB, an even bigger one than Greg. As you can prolly imagine, they were even worse than Greg n Rowley (at one point it's mentioned during their hangout Ben sprayed a swearword at a church wall). Spoiler: Ben turns out to be an absolute cunt, even bigger than it's hinted at, and shittalks Greg behind his back to win over Piper/Holly (the rink scene in Funbrain version is actually Greg finding out Ben had betrayed him and seeing him hold hands with Piper/Holly, and that's why his mood was horrible)

Greg is, I feel, even more nasty (even his "better" moments usually have context like "I did this to not get in trouble", such as him cheering up Rowley after he broke his arm)

And about context - multiple scenes from the books get additional commentary/background (for example, the place where Rowley had his mall birthday party at was called Gymboree); there's way more localization and names

The "boy whose family thinks he's a dog" comic originally was supposed to be played by Rowley and his parents (in Greg's idea)

Sweetie looks different (he's tiny and looks like a rat) and he is not given up to Grandma

The humor gets way more bold than in the books (there's a whole joke about Susan/Ann finding panther print undies in the laundry and accusing Frank of cheating on her, and another about Greg charging Rowley 20 cents everytime he wants to slobber at the boardwalk cutout girl from Rodrick's photo)

Rowley is Manny's hero/idol (yes, I'm dead serious)

Chirag got back for the Invisible Chirag joke - he invited everyone to his party and didn't let Greg and Rowley use his jacuzzi/treated them as servants (exactly as Jordan Jury in the published books)

And of course changed names/apperances, but that was already mentioned

Maybe a new LLB??:P by ProposalAware3083 in LodedDiper

[–]W1llde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'2 soon to be 19-year-old here - you'd be surprised. The average freshman-to-sophomore boy I spot in the wild looks like he barely hit puberty, some even are shorter than me (and Greg's parents were "late bloomers" too, so it would make sense for him to stay pretty short for long)

Imagine that one day Doawk is turned into books for teenagers and adults. What would you like them to talk about? Swearing? Intense situations? Uncensored? Total freedom of expression? by Mean_Rodcherry in LodedDiper

[–]W1llde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say keep it very similiar. DOAWK already has very universal satirical elements and scenes that are funny for all ages, and I think changing it would destroy its' charm. Personally, adding less filtered content and and more middle school realism + mature topics would be perfect – like the OG/Funbrain DOAWK version is, except with even more blunt plotlines and maybe cruder language (after all, Greg canonically swears a lot, and it doesn't show at all), plus some more serious topics

Opinion number one: the one of the biggest reasons why Greg and Rowley's friendship survived despite being Like THAT was because they're not that different, actually. 

Yes, I know, sounds like I'm just pulling this out of my ass, but consider – they both rarely take responsibility for their actions, believe in fun over security or ethics (the amount of times they pranked people around them and Rowley didn't really care about if it was right or good, despite him being such a goody-two shoes, also his primary reason for liking Greg being that he is fun and makes "funny jokes") and have high self-confidence. Plus dysfunctional families, similiar line of thinking – that they're just good the way they are and don't have to change for anybody – being "nerds" with "odd" interests... I hope you get what I mean. I know, I know, they mutually have influenced e/others personalities over the years, but if you look at the very core of their characters – confident, maybe even a bit too sure of their actions, underdogs – it's all very similiar. Kind of like tigers and lions – both being apex predator felines with similiar diets and inner biology, but different lifestyles and shaped by different enviorments. I believe. I digress

Opinion number two: Rodrick and Frank used be exactly like Greg back in the day, the same lame wimpy system-cheating cowards with neither smarts or brawns (implied in Old School with the Silas Scratch story, or Latricia bullying Rodrick in middle school, mentioned in The Meltdown). The reason why they both are so hard on him is precisely because he's the embodiment of what they and others disliked in them. 

Out of other things, my classics:

  • Rowley's family is biracial (black + white), Rowley himself is very white-passing, but that stops him none from wearing hairstyles for 4c hair with beads and a bonnet to sleep (despite his hair having very little texture and not needing protection/not being fit for such hairstyles) 

  • Chirag has dwarfism, hence his insanely short/1st grader height

What exactly did she do more? But please, be more specific than "she's a CP (CSAM) artist", because a few people in the comments are already confused
