Which is nice for him, I’m sure, since I’m currently overcommitted as usual and feeling sliiiightly hysterical. Excuse me, I may be retreating back to the blanket fort. It’s going to be a blanket fort-y kind of a month, in fact. I take no responsibility for anything I say or draw till mid-August.
BTW, does anyone know what name Bastian actually yells for the childlike Empress? I imagine I could use Google-fu, but that smacks of effort. I don’t have any internets left to award the answerer, but you could always get a neck-crushing hug from Charlie.

“Moon Child.” According to my own Internet search. I had always thought he just yelled something random. On “Robot Chicken,” the spoof sketch they did had Bastian yelling, “Ooo-rah-mah-fah-sah-oh-loo-dah!” Or something like that.

Huh. Weird, I thought he was going to give her his mother’s name?
