I Hope So - Comic Dub | (Episode 5)

[@phoenixlynnva]

Hi, Diamond’s VA here- For people who are still asking if Diamond is a boy or a girl- Diamond is Nonbinary (Transmasc) .(and so am I- my pronouns are They/he) For people still asking about Storm’s Gender- She is Female- she is a maned lioness- and a Lesbian- I sincerely and genuinely hope this clears up any confusion - Also - I understand you all are very excited for the next episode, But it’s also important that we remain mindful and respectful of everyone involved- Ava works very hard to get these episodes produced and it’s a complete labor of love. All we ask is that you please be patient- ❤

[@MarichenCarstens]

I understand and I love storm she is great and diamond he is amazing 💓can't wait for the next eps

[@ThisAintIris]

I love your voice

[@beeshark222]

YOOOO! Fellow Transmasc here to say, Y I P P E E!!!!!!

[@Obsidianoak]

Hey there thanks for the FYI, I had a feeling but the thing I'm curious about is actually why is Diamond a paraplegic? Injury? Congenital concern? Is there a back story to it? Will we find out through the story?

[@neptune_xXx]

Silly Nonbinary here, and when I first watched the episode Diamond was introduced I was sooo happy 😊

[@EverlastingSky23]

I love the scene between Storm and Hope about how Hope misses Clever and the line “You’ll always miss her, and that’s okay” it holds so much value and helped me deal with my grandmother who I loved and lost, she was the Clever to my Hope; and it’s a very healing message. I Hope So is one of the best things I’ve come across and I hope more people discover this beautiful masterpiece of a series 💕

[@ammonitetheseaserpent3761]

MAJOR props to Echidna on his voice work for Fade, especially that bit at the beginning! That was a treat XD

[@fruitsplats]

I KNOW RIGHT? Fade’s voice is so fun, I’m only 10 minutes in right now but that acting is so great

[@soggyechidna]

Thank you guys so much!!! Can’t wait for you to hear more of him 😈

[@fatimakamara5171]

Poor Hopeful... Clever was really like a Mom to her.😢😢😢

[@Twilightwolf34820]

It really resonates with me because my grandma was like that with me when my mom turned us away or couldn't do something for us she did it every single time. ❤

[@waterhorse_httyd657]

At least Clever is still watching over Hope and visiting her in her dreams 🥹

[@sarahnilsson544]

Yeah poor hopeful I was actually going to cry

[@Beaniskool]

I love how storm blushes with her ears, I also love that diamond was in the lil tub with her feet out it was so cute

@@BK-is5fj but she isn’t used to describe them in the comics? /genuine confusion

[@Savleira]

I love how at the beginning, all the prides Fade visits look different. They don’t all look the same. It reminds me of real life, where there’s different races and ethnicities, and no two look exactly alike. I also noticed the “scurriers” (meerkats) also all look different, no two look exactly the same. I also love all the disabled representation in here, and in the Thundering Mountains Pride, everyone’s just treated as normal, disabled or not. No one gets dehumanized, or special treatment. They’re all treated normally and like any other lion. And the cub with a blind (or partially, can’t tell) eye is treated like a normal cub too, and plays like a normal cub! I love this comic so much! The art style is awesome, I’ve always loved semi-realistic but also cartoony art styles, and that’s what I’m aiming for in my own. Hope’s VA has always been good at doing scenes where the character she’s playing is crying, as I’ve seen in TSH, and she did not disappoint in this one! Everyone did such a good job on this

[@Luzita_1972]

Waittt by TSH do U mean the stolen hope?? I love that thing!

[@Savleira]

@@Luzita_1972 Yep! Awesome show :)

As usual, Ava: you and your team have knocked it out of the park! Watching you work on this episode has truly been a ride and we can both tell just how much love and dedication you and the team have put into bringing our story to life and we cannot begin to thank you enough. We're so happy to be on this amazing journey with all of you. You're all incredibly talented, amazing individuals and I think it's safe to say that - at this point - this serves as a lot of inspiration for the pair of us. Not a moment goes by where we wonder how all of you will deliver the upcoming chapters. For all of those asking when the next chapter is: we sadly cannot say. Both of us have been pretty bogged down with other work. The good news is that we have the first part of the next chapter is currently up on our Patreon for all of our tiers, if y'all have a dollar to spare. Meanwhile, we are working on the remainder of it whenever we can. All we can do is reassure you that the comic is still being worked on and to ask for your continued patience. Thank you all for supporting Ava and the team by watching this episode. It truly means a lot.

Storm and Hope are now parents. Wow that relationship took off faster than I expected.

[@jordanapgar8907]

Female lions along with many species of mammals should not be parents to other females of the same species that doesn’t work in the biodiversity of mammals Besides over the countless eons of evolution and generations mammals always pair up and also mate with the males of the same species in order for them to have their young of their species which includes for female lions to breed with male lions in order for them to have their cubs!!

Female couples can't have children.

ok i gotta be SO honest, just watched all of these back to back, it has been SO long since the last time i was so invested into a show that i couldnt psychically play a game while listening to it, i love the comic dubs! the comic is amazing and so are the voice actors! I hope everyone involved is doing well and are having a great time bringing us this amazing content!!!

[@LaissezFairyWriter]

Both this series and dubbing are fantastic. I discovered it yesterday and am hooked. Another awesome episode guys

[@kathrynhill5796]

14:17-14:27 Geez! Those harsh words and terrible treatment from her mother really haunt Hopeful to the bone. I hope one day Vicious and Jasper will both pay dearly for their sins against their pride and their children. They’re gonna regret everything they’ve done to them ‘till the day they both die.

[@waterhorse_httyd657]

I've already read the next parts of the comic online, but it's such a nice feeling to read all this with the dubbing! This series is so great, I love it! ❤❤❤

IM SO EXCITED.. I watched the last Espinosa thinking it ended and now I see this and I’m so happy!! I thought I got left on a total cliff hanger forever!!

Aaaaah,I waited after the premiere because I wasn’t notified and I didn’t want to dive into the episode late. This was AMAZING!Adamant and Storm tossing insults at each other back and forth is literally one of the cutest things ever,but NOT as cute as Adamant and Junior’s relationship!Aah I love it so much. What a pleasant treat!

[@pollyandkokimoviereviews3959]

That was amazing as always! However we hope to never see Jasper or Vicious ever again! LOL!

Well, to be honest, I hope one day Vicious and Jasper will pay for their sins against their children and the whole pride. They’ve caused enough pain and unhappiness to them already.

[@illuxtre]

there is something SO delightful about how the thundering mountains pride is about old lions!! the fact they have this little heated water springs that they can use, which is a really creative choice, I lived in a city with those and the old people did use the hot water a lot!! it is wonderful for health,, and the fact they just. Care for their elders. Makes me happy!! It's rare to see that in lion themed stories (as naturally that's not occurring, but still!) Read this chapter agesss ago and seeing the amazing dub is neat!!

[@drewbleee]

This comic inspired me to create my own! Its so full of care and a compelling story
