《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 165: Bizarre March
Advertisement
The singer matters eventually did find their balance to all the integral parties involved. They each just had to do what they had to do and reap whatever they can accomplish from it.
Young Milla started her singing lessons after finding a school catered to her training needs, Miss Galina was there to support and oversee as always, while Alexander was just bracing himself for his set of little boss responsibilities.
When Alexander thought about how busy he might be for those things, he also considered that he might not need to be.
The Creed peripheral station that contains costumes and merchandising matters is stable as it is. They are in the development phase and just need some minor adjustments here and there.
Creed Pictures' BttF happens to be on its final lap already. The Rob and Bob duo want Alexander to be there but the deserty Old Western filming location is way too far to take the trip.
It might disappoint the original creators but simple relays being made by company representatives or Old Sullivan's intervention should be enough.
CREED's managerial and operations floor was headed being Old Sullivan from time to time. Anyways, self-sufficiency development and responsibility delegation was something that the Creed grand patriarch was also good at, so Ms. Marker and the rest might have it easy there.
Creed Animations would still be on its preparatory legwork but Seasoned Hayao is still heavily invested in his supposed temporary hiring, so it was best to let the animation zenithisist do his things.
Of course, Alexander would still be there. However, it was mostly on simple advisory work and corrective delegation once again.
Even the most central Creed Comics was the most stable and easy among the previously mentioned. Alexander was pretty much gratified with how much his company management model has achieved a state where his laborious task had been reduced to near nil.
Little boss management matters are practically what keeps him occupied for the most part. Anyways, he wasn't complaining in any way but just relatively happy that March wasn't as hectic as January and February.

Of course, Alexander's supposedly "simpler" times could not be reciprocated by everyone else.
March was different for everyone else as it is what makes everyone unique. It may take some while to get around the differences and similarities though, so it was best to stick to something somewhat relevant.
-----
It just so happens that a certain March trend had shown up in the comic book industry. It was quite bizarre that the intrigue and interest of the comic book people were piqued.
Sure, the DC clamor for the grudge match between Alexander Creed and Alan Moore was still given high attention. However, the bizarre matters mostly relate to the toy and comic book company deals.
The March new releases had practically drawn in many waves of new comic titles from those established alliances.
Barbie #1: Meet Barbie, D&D: New Adventures, Hot Wheels #1: Vintage Return, G.I. Joe's Back in Comics, He-Man Comic Re-imagining, and Strawberry Shortcake: The Series.
These titles were some of the familiar ones as most of them had been in the comic book industry after all. It was just quite shocking to see them have a revamp or taking a return to the print medium once again.
The nerdy veterans that saw them were quite surprised but not as surprised when they encountered other toy-adapted comic titles that were new to them.
My Little Pony #1: The Adventure Begins, I Have a Magic 8-Ball #1, Nerf Survival Against Aliens #1, Care Bears, Jenga Battle, In the Realm of Legos.
Many of these new issue titles were familiar for toy enthusiasts but it was still quite disconcerting to see them in comic book form.
They can think of reluctant reasonings for the My Little Pony and Care Bear comic books but aren't everything else just way too over-reaching.
The premise of the Magic 8-Ball caught some people's attention but aren't Jenga, Lego, and Nerf way too blatant!
If that isn't forceful toy advertising, then they don't know what is.

Anyone with a brain can tell that these toy-themed comic books have an ulterior merchandising motive that just can't be hidden.
It was amusing to many but it just evokes disgust to some. Did the companies behind these comic books really think they were that gullible? If they did, then they were just plain detestable.
Many toy-comic book coalitions really wanted to copy the great success that Creed Toys and Creed Comics have achieved. It was too bad that their attempts might have failed already.
They did get inspiration from the Creed companies but the attempts at emulating it was very unsatisfying.
Creed Comics wowed them with amazing storylines, characters, and potential progression. From that, Creed Toys timely came in with a surprising demand for versions that the Creed fans didn't know they wanted.
The competitors seem to have flipped some of that script though. They must have thought that since there was a demand for their toys, it would automatically mean that they just needed to supply a lot of comic books.
They must have thought that the toy and comic supplementary vice versa would work with that.
What would happen if no one likes their toylines in the first place? It was quite embarrassing for them to expect those people to buy the comic version.
Besides, that may not just be the problem as it seems that the toy companies had set characterization guidelines that the poor comic makers were getting troubled themselves.
The poor comic artist had to draw the realistic and weirdly-molded toys as a base. Frankly, the results of such a limitation were clear as some of the toy-inspired comic characters are just horrific.
Fortunately, the comic book stores still haven't brought in or displayed some of the corresponding toys. If they did, then that would have escalated the situation some more.
It wasn't that the comic content may not be bad from the get-go, however, a lot of potential customers are already staying away from them.
A general impression had already been made and it wasn't going well for the toy-comic alliances.
The wave of new titles was quite numerous and had some hits but a lot were just sub-par from the cover page alone, so everyone automatically considers everything that came with it as the same level of sub-par-ness.
Why would they settle for messy and convoluted newbies when they could just go for an already established publisher that hasn't failed them yet?
Since the Creed brand had already succeeded in what the newbies have failed at, then it was better to just stay with the Creed status quo as it is.
-----
Of course, such an uprising of messy comic books did raise some alarms for those who cared. If the levels of customer disgust and messy comic releases would continue, then the comic book industry could potentially follow suit with the recent game industry crash.
If a lot of trashy and shoddy games can topple a glorious entertainment sector, then it might just happen to the comic industry as well with trashy and shoddy comic books.
Anyways, the potential crash was just alarmist talk during the trash toy-comic huddles. The toy-comic books may be bad, they still brought quite a talked about and bizarre trend to the industry.
While the hopeful competitors were failing with their bizarre releases, the industry-leading Creed Comics simply rose against them with success.
Bizzare was also the theme for the new Creed release after all and every fan can't help buzzing about it.
It was just as bizarre and intriguing as its bizarre title stated it to be after all.
Anyways, a guy named JoJo won out against the toy bizarre-ness of March.
While Creed Comics consider it as the Bizzare protocol, the comic book industry knows it as 'JoJo's Bizzare Adventure'.

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.
