I *often* have this same doubt (specifically panels 1-3) about my OCs and Whibley.
This is such an sweet and important message to writers of all kinds.

sometimes I forget that I'm just a teenager writing a webcomic in my spare time, so I shouldn't hold myself to the same standards as, say, a feature film with an entire team of professional writers, or Hiromu Arakawa. Writing flawed stories is okay, and even necessary in order to write better ones :)
(if you want to read aforementioned amateur webcomic...)

"I don't think that's such a good idea."
"Come on, Mom! Move in with us!"
"Erm--what about Stinky? He's happy here, I don't want to disturb him."
"Your cat will be just fine, trust me."
Tumblr media
"But--but--we have history here, sweetie! Look around!"
Tumblr media
"That's exactly why I want you out of here. It's time to move on, Mom."
Tumblr media
"Look, I mean this in the nicest way possible because you know how much I love you, Mom, but I'm worried about you. I've been worried for a while, actually."
"Oh, sweetie, don't--"
Ignoring her mother, Sadie continued: "I would feel a lot better if you just moved in with Adam and me. Please?"
Tumblr media
"But honey! You have nothing to worry about! I'm fine!" Irene begged.
Tumblr media
"This is for your own good."
There was a tone of finality in Sadie's expression that made Irene think back to last spring when she felt her mind wander. She didn't want to believe it, but memory blips like that one were becoming more and more common. Her daughter didn't know anything about that yet, but without realizing it Sadie had said the words Irene needed to hear to concede.
"Alright, honey. Maybe it's finally time for a fresh start."

Like most weddings, the day went by just as quick as a camera flash could capture it. Before long, everyone began parting ways.
Tumblr media
At the end of the night, Elizabeth and Ted resolved to clean up the mess tomorrow and instead sneak in one more wedding day kiss before heading inside.

Max entered the living room, the sound of a toilet flushing followed him.
"Max!" Amy let out a sigh of relief.
Tumblr media
"You won't believe what just happened," she began.
"What? I wasn't pooping for that long."
"No--Max, listen. My sister--"
Tumblr media
Amy stopped when her eye caught sight of her late father's army portrait on the dresser.
"Your dad," Max said.
"Yeah--"
Tumblr media
"--I can't imagine what he'd have to say about today. 'Course, if he were here, today would have never happened in the first place."
"Amy," Max winced. "Tell me what I missed outside, something about your sister?"
"Sam proposed. She said yes."
Tumblr media
"You want me to propose too? Even the score?"
"What? No!"
"We could get you pregnant?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Pee in her punch?"
Tumblr media
"Max!"
"That wasn't a 'no'."
"There is something seriously wrong with you, you know that?"
"But you love it," he winked.
Tumblr media
"Yeah, I do," she said, turning back to her father. "He would have hated you."
"Then he'd get along great with my mom. Disappointing parents is what I do. It's a talent."
Tumblr media
"You're much, much more than that."
"Oh yeah?"
"But you're also a dork."
He smiled so sweetly it melted Amy's anger clean from her body.
"Okay, fine. My dork."
"I love you too, Amy Parker."

"Bonnie Parker!"
She smiled at Sam.
Tumblr media
"The real most important woman of the day!" he whispered in her ear.
"Ugck!" Amy couldn't hide her distaste for Sam Weasley.
Tumblr media
"I have something for you," he said.
"Really? What?"
Tumblr media
"Can't you guess?" he said kneeling.
"Sam?"
"You have got to be joking," Amy mumbled.
Tumblr media
"This is what you wanted, right?" he smirked.
Tumblr media
"Oh! Sam!"
The crowd of wedding guests fell silent behind the couple, everyone anticipating Bonnie's answer.
Tumblr media
"Yes!" she squealed.
"Hooray! Yay! Congrats!" the guests cheered. "Double wedding day!" someone joked.
Tumblr media
"Oh, Sammy!" Bonnie cooed at the ring.
"Oh, Bonnie," Amy cringed.
Tumblr media
Then the newly engaged couple joined the other guests, laughing and smiling, as Amy slinked away into the house.

"Hey, Laddie. Long time, no see, huh?"
"Um--" Jack wasn't too sure what to say to Max, his new step brother. It only dawned on him in this moment that Max would have a relationship with his dog. Jack suddenly felt inclined to stand a little taller. Max picked up on the awkwardness and decided to bridge the gap himself:
"You both did good out there!"
"Thanks."
Tumblr media
"You make quite the pair," Max said. "You know, Laddie and I--eh, never mind. I'm just glad you have each other."
"Uh, thanks."
"It's good to see you," Max said quietly to Laddie, whose eyes sparkled and tail wagged happily in response.

The crowd clapped and cheered for the newlyweds. It was the happiest moment of Ted's life.
"You did so good, Laddie!" Jack cheered.

"Almost show time. Are you stoked to be the ring bearer with me?"
Grrwwwmm!
"We can't lose!"
Tumblr media
The guests arrived, and slowly everyone started taking position.
Tumblr media
"Ready, Laddie?"

"Where is everyone?" asked Adam.
"We can't be the first ones here," Amy worried.
"Relax, both of you." Max inhaled deeply. "Smell that? Love is in the air."
"Oh my god," Amy and Adam muttered in unison.
Tumblr media
"Hey, there's someone!" said Adam.
"That's just Bonnie," Amy answered.
Tumblr media
"Hi, guys! Gosh, the sun is bright today, eh? Love must be in the air."
"That's what I said!" said Max.
"Where is everyone?" Amy asked.
Tumblr media
Just then, Ted stepped outside.
"There he is!" cheered Max.
"Man of the hour!" Adam followed suit.
"Thanks, boys!" Ted beamed.
Tumblr media
"We're so happy for you," Bonnie said with her hug.
"Thank you, darling," he replied. "We couldn't have done any of this without you. You've been such a great help for your mom and I."
"Happy to help!"
"Move aside, Bon. It's my turn for a hug," said Adam.
"This is not getting any less weird," Amy whispered to Max.
"You're doing great. My brother's just doing this for show. Hang in there," he whispered back.
Tumblr media
When Bonnie excused herself to help her mother get ready, Amy had a nice opportunity to officially meet Ted -- who was now simultaneously her step father and boyfriend's dad.

[Blooper time! Diane walked past the Green house moments before the wedding party started. Liz greeted Ted's ex-wife in her wedding dress, and Diane had furious thoughts about Ted. 🤭]

Elizabeth and Ted's spring wedding day had arrived after a long winter. Liz woke up early as usual, but found it hard to leave the bed this morn. Her mind buzzed with anxious thoughts about the big day ahead of them.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the sun rose quietly to light up the decorations waiting in the backyard.

"Hello?" Amy answered.
Tumblr media
"Hey, Amy!"
"Richard!"
"How are you--uh, wait--is that Max laughing in the background?"
Tumblr media
"Yes, he's being absolutely disgusting."
"Hi, Rich!" Max yelled.
"What's he doing?" Richard asked.
Tumblr media
"He said it was hot that I'll be his step sister!" Max beamed. "Can you believe him?!"
Tumblr media
"Well, you knew what you were getting yourself into with Max."
"That is not helping!"
Richard smiled to himself, and Amy could hear the smile through the phone.
Tumblr media
"Hey, when are you visiting? We miss you," she said.
"We gotta jam sometime soon, buddy," Max offered.
Tumblr media
"Maybe after wedding season," Richard replied.
"Yeah, there's a lot this spring, eh?" said Max.
Richard forgot to answer, losing himself in the famous Feverfew skyline.
"So, this summer then?" Amy asked.
"Oh, yeah, sure. Summer."
"We got a townhouse!" Max announced. "Lots of space for you to crash here with us."
Richard swallowed then replied flatly: "Thanks, man. Hey, listen, I gotta go, I just wanted to say hi."
"Alright, take it easy man!" Max signed off.
Tumblr media
"Was that all, to say hi?" Amy asked quietly.
Tumblr media
"Yeah."
"Okay, well, don't be a stranger."
"Seeyah, Amy."
"Night, Rich."
Tumblr media
Then Amy hung up the phone, and for the first time in their relationship Max felt uneasy. Although the feeling could have been the spoiled meat sandwich he was eating--
Tumblr media
--he could also see something very important was missing.

"This is dumb."
"We need to practice!"
Amy sighed dramatically.
Tumblr media
"There--see? We're already better than when we started."
"I still don't get why you're being so positive about this. Our parents are getting married, that's so messed up! Why do we have to go along with this?"
"They're happy," Max shrugged.
Tumblr media
"And, look," he pulled Amy in. "I know it's weird, but it's not going to change anything for us. I already called dibs." That made Amy smile. "Plus, it's honestly no weirder than Adam marrying Sadie Hill."
"What, why? Sadie's great, I like her."
"Yeah, but--he's my brother. He shouldn't be happy. Just picture a smiling Adam--now tell me that's not messed up!"
Amy let out a soft chuckle. Sibling rivalry was always an easy way to get Amy's guard down and Max knew that.
Tumblr media
"Plus plus, when my dad marries your mom you'll be my step sister. That's hot."
"MAX!"
Just then, the phone started ringing.
Tumblr media
"What! It's funny!" he laughed.
"You're sick."
"Just think about it," he laughed as he talked. "I can call you 'sis' or 'sister Amy'--oh my god, Sister Amy, like you're a nun or something!"
"Would'ja shut up? I'm getting the phone."

"You're getting better," Sophie greeted.
"Thanks, but I'm no where close to good enough."
Tumblr media
"What do you mean?" she asked, sitting down.
"Dad wants keyboard back up on his next album, but I don't know why he asked me--I'm just a beginner. I can't keep up with him."
"Why didn't he just ask Harold Ward? Aren't they music partners?"
"Beats me."
Tumblr media
"So, how's Mom?"
"How's Mom?" Sophie laughed.
"What?" Claude grinned. "Can't I call her 'mom' now too?"
"Oh, she'll love that."
Tumblr media
"No, really. How'd it go?"
"Fine, she loves you already," she slid closer towards him. "But there is something else, if you're ready for it."
"What?"
Tumblr media
"I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant!" he smiled to himself.
"Mhmm!" she gently bit her tongue to uphold the white lie. She figured blinding Claude with pregnancy news would distract him from reading any anxiousness on her face.
"Gonna be a dad, huh? Well, that was fast. Didn't we just get engaged?"
"Yep."
"Well, I guess--"
Tumblr media
Sophie started kissing Claude's neck.
"Soph--"
Gotta act fast, she thought.

Sophie washed their breakfast bowls in silence, the sound of running water filled her mother's small cottage home.
Tumblr media
"Sophie, honey? Are you alright, dear?" Lilibet asked.
Tumblr media
"Yeah, Mom. I'm good," she lied.
Tumblr media
"Look, don't tell anyone about this, okay, honey? Sir Reginald could be a big problem for all of us if it came out."

"So Reginald II, his father, and I--well, you know. We were young, too young."
Tumblr media
"His parents tore him a part, they were so full of shame and anger. I thought his dad would never stop shouting, and his mom couldn't even look at him. Frankly, I don't know which side was worse for Reg."
Tumblr media
"They didn't think much of me, or you for that matter. The Barbers have always been far more concerned about their name, their reputation, and their dumb university; I don't think they see anyone who doesn't serve them, y'know? In the end, his parents gave me more money than I knew what to do with and told me to figure it out on my own. So that's exactly what I did."

"Oh, good for you, honey!"
Tumblr media
"I'm so proud of you! You saw what you wanted, and you made it happen! It really is a lovely love story."
"Thanks, Mom."
"Claude Rousseau is a fine choice, too! He'll make a great son-in-law. You'll make such beautiful babies."
Tumblr media
"Well, he's much better than Reginald Barber," Sophie offered.
"Barber?"
"That is one disastrous date I would never do again," she said with a slight giggle.
Tumblr media
"You went on a date with a Barber?" Lilibet couldn't hold back her concern.
"Yeah, so?"
"What was his name?"
"Reginald III."
"Oh dear."
Tumblr media
"Mom, what is it?"
"I was hoping I'd never have to tell you this, but maybe I've done worse by not telling you."
"Mom?"
Tumblr media
"You're related to the Barbers."
"What!"
"Reginald III would be your half brother."
"What!"
