The "Cannot Communicate" part is even bolded, for completely normal reasons.

oriongates posted:The "Cannot Communicate" part is even bolded, for completely normal reasons. I love this weird psuedospace Dominic Deegan’s tone exists in. The audience is spoon fed information like children and the narrative regularly grinds to a halt to catch up any stragglers, while at the same time we’re subjected to uncut monster dick and the threat of future sex scenes. I’d assume DD’s trying to grow up with its audience, but OG DD ran for 10 years and already did that (plus it also had severe tone issues).

The Little Death posted:C) standard Deegan nonsense plot exposition. It's a twist! I'm sure every other spell in there mentions whether or not it can talk too.The only reason that inclusion makes sense is because we know this version of the spell talks, but from the description, the normal spell is like a magic HUD which no one would assume has an intelligence behind it to talk anyway. It's like specifying that a compass cannot communicate in any other language than pointing arrows. What’s great is that there’s a lot of other things it could say that would convey the same information but not be as jarring. For example, “they can not convey information in any other way”, or “arrows are the only image they are capable of producing”. It may still be a little weird, but right now it’s “...will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak” levels of specific. As if the people who wrote the book had to deal with some widespread misconception that pagefinder spells could communicate.

It's probably just the Ink Witch and there was no good reason for her to disguise that fact because it changes literally nothing

 What was the point of lying to Snout? Have they met? What made them think Snout would be more willing to help if he thought they were just a spell?

Is this implying that the spell spooged on him multiple times intentionally? Also literally the laziest twist "Haha, everything in the narrative so far has been a lie, you dunce. No, I didn't include any clues or foreshadowing, that would have given it away!"

The last time Snout took magical writing at its word, his house was destroyed. He should be demanding explanations before deciding whether to find any more pages.

I think you underestimate the importance of his mission! To preserve the legacy of Dominic Deegan! All else is secondary. Or falls into your lap with no effort shortly after becoming an issue, anyway.

Also just want to point out, according to what he's found here, apparently ink magic is not an unknown thing. Maybe even not rare. And yet the woman he's looking for is just "THE Ink Witch," as if it's her unique power. I mean I guess she might have a name she's not telling him or something. But knowing Mookie...

Considering the amount that thought that went into Snout's name, we'll be lucky if her name is anything better than an ink pun I get the feeling that if the page isn't just Inky herself, it's a Deegan. Maybe not the Deegan, but someone in that circle who has no business being alive 200 years later.

Even if it is a name that they are trying to withhold from Snout for whatever reason their means of doing so necessitate that he doesn't fall for their dumbshit lie, which bad writing in itself.

Tesseraction posted:love "okay I lied to you, do what I tell you or I won't explain" Which is something he wants to do ANYWAY. Which the page or whoever is controlling it seems to know intuitly. This would make so much more sense and work better as a story if he was doing this against his will (and starts to become interested as he goes), or if he had ANY good reason for wanting the pages aside from barely-explained curiousity. Instead, he wants the pages because he MUST want the pages, that is the story Mookie wrote, drat it. And the page knows he wants the pages because... Well, there's no reason. It just knows.

For all Snout knows he's assembling the pocket companion to the Necronomicon but who cares about questioning the motives of a self-aware page because It has been 200 years since Dominic Deegan and he needs to know what that means.

This would honestly all make way more sense as Snout having a fever dream. It still wouldn't be good or make a ton of sense, but it'd make far more than it does.

It's so stupid that to get around his self-imposed no dialog rule, he invented a talking piece of paper to communicate with his deaf character through writing.

Like this is just as word heavy as most of his 'normal' arcs, and those end-of-the-week summary diaries are even wordier.

Going along with the getting eaten thing, of this is just someone communicating through a modified spell, why is it like they are inhabiting the piece of paper. Like Snout had to turn the paper so it could "see" the book entry. I know, it's magic so whatever, but it's just so weird as an idea. It just brings up so many weird implications that I know Mookie hasn't thought about and doesn't care about.

It's rare for a story to have a reveal that retroactively makes the story worse, but I think Dominic Deegan is the master of it.

 I think at this point an editor reading this would make you go back and start over. None of Snout’s motivations make sense and his priorities are completely outta whack. That’s not even getting into the fact that a one step solution exists to all of Snout’s problems right here in the Wild Edge.
