It was also talked about in the middle of an arc about how Orcs are actually really noble and Siegfried was evil for being racist towards them.

For some reason, one DD moment that sticks out to me was when Greg and his buddies were thinking up a name for their metal band and remembered some veteran with a burned face who had to get a daily wash because of oozing sores. So they named the band FACE BATH.

Talking about the heroic rapist arc reminded me that Mookie intentionally cut off all other aspects to force the narrative. Remember, the orc matrons check the hymen to ensure heroic rape happened. Remember that detail Mookie forced into the situation so that it had to happen as he was wanted it to.

Drunk Theory posted:Talking about the heroic rapist arc reminded me that Mookie intentionally cut off all other aspects to force the narrative. IIRC there's also a panel where Stonewater tore her clothes up. Back to Legacy I went hunting and found this note on the Dominic Deegan page in Tvtropes of all places. quote:In May 2015, Mookie revealed that a new stretch goal for the Patreon of Star Power would be a sequel comic called The Legacy of Dominic Deegan, set two centuries after the original comic. As of 2018, however, this stretch goal has not been attained, but in July 2019, The Legacy of Dominic Deegan officially began. So nobody really wanted it but by god he's doing it anyway!

Just so people can see what I was talking about I forgot that this sequence happens almost immediatly afterwards i'd forgotten how jarring the out of nowhere violence, and weird worldbuilding poo poo, is when interspersed with his sort of jokey last panel endings. also DEFORMITY. Having no dialogue means the children will never experience Mookie's weird tendecy to bold words. Beelzebufo fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Apr 9, 2020 |

She's going to the desert to DIE. DIIIIEEEEE. "I'm going to the desert to DIE." Do you not understand? DIE. DEAD. D-E-A-D DEAD. Except "die" is really just "confess my sins and renew my vows with the church" and Mookie was being dramatic for no loving reason.

Don't forget the part where before her pilgrimage to the Desert To Die, Jayden went on a vow of silence that lasted for years. She broke the vow to give marriage rites to her friends, which would have been a significant moment of symbolism if not for the fact that Greg began talking over her to steal the show. It's also worth noting that the desert arc quickly swerved away from being about Jayden's feelings at all and instead focused primarily about a guy who tagged along with her, and his angst over Meanwhile I can't remember if Milov faced any consequence at all for destroying a human house of worship and banishing all of them from his territory, all because of Jayden. I think he lost face in his pack? But I'm pretty sure didn't take on vows of atonement for attempted murder of his girlfriend. V Oh, how wonderful!

Fuego Fish posted:Because he, her rapist who raped her when she was a minor, reminded her of her father. Who had been murdered in front of her, along with her mother, immediately before said rape. Also Hoooly poo poo I forgot all about this. For how often it was the butt of jokes back in the day Mookie’s treatment of Melna was downright heinous. Speaking of orcs: In true Deegan fashion Snout snitches to his momwife to fix his problems. You gonna beat up this old Orc dude and steal his books?

Her name is Dominic Deegan Jr. The Sixth and that's why she can't reveal it until a dramatically appropriate time. edit: alternately her first name is Legacy of Dominic Libra fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Apr 10, 2020 |

GrossMurpel posted:Don't worry about it, I was just amazed and horrified at your Deegan lore knowledge. EDIT: Pyrotoad posted:IMO she's some derivative of Luna or Miranda. She can't be Luna's direct biological descendent since Luna sacrificed her gooch to make the orcland fertile again. She donated a half dozen or so of her eggs, suffused with magic from that dragon thing that empowered her to no effect in that one scene, to various infertile couple through the alterist, so I personally think inkwich is the descendent from one of these eggs and that she and the other eggs became influential superheroes and supervillains over the last 200 years. It would be hilarious if she was Miranda's bastard son who we've never mentioned til now and there was a secret fourth Deegan brother hiding away or from an alternate dimension like the Summers family in X-men. You know what a derivative of both Luna and Miranda is? Luana. She's really Jayden's descendent. Invisible Clergy fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Apr 10, 2020 |

The worst for me was the marriage arc which totally by absolute coincidence happened at the same time Mookie was getting married IRL. and was entirely about how his inlaws to be absolutely disapproved of him.

In literally any other comic, the ink witch is absolutely being set up to be the actual villain. She had a freaky ship, she cozied up to Snout suuuuper fast, her reasons Arudak is bad are vague... But it's mookie, so it's not gonna happen.
