Does the Magical Girl school have sports teams? I can't recall if Cagle is North American where high school sports are A Big Deal.

She is from Texas, but I don't think anyone ever mentioned sports teams being a thing. I mean it is just one city.

Her love of Texas only manifests in the form of weird kitschy stuff in the shape of Texas, cowgirls/boys and that weird beaver mascot store thing. https://twitter.com/cubewatermelon/status/1038745100644507649 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jul 30, 2020 |

They have a track field but uh, competitive sports leagues are pretty tough to organize when the entire (available) human population fits inside a single city, so I imagine sports aren't a big deal.

I dunno. If they're large enough to have 4 high schools they're large enough to have some serious high school rivalries. And 4 high schools is what you get with like 100k population.

The team alchemical sand jar has Undine as the bottom layer. It makes sense. Undine was the "nice one" unassuming but kind of the most important to their team cohesion. She was also the first one to get powers.

It'll be fun in the future too, when she needs to draw Cassidy again.

I am so happy all the love Zoe got in these polls. Definitely cool that she nearly got as many votes in the main one as the two leads.

Cassidy's body reformed in a farm upstate where she has a lot of room to run and play! But it's outside the barrier so she can't come back to the city.

Next chapter, a new transfer student arrives, taking Cassidy's place in the class and eventually the training club too.  No-one comments on the resemblance, and it's never explained.

Dead magic girls sure don't ever have eyes, do they. Wonder if that means something.

There is a panel where Undine is thinking about team alchemical, and everyone but Tess has the Zimmy eyes.

Wittgen posted:There is a panel where Undine is thinking about team alchemical, and everyone but Tess has the Zimmy eyes. This post sent me rereading a bunch of random pages, and I found the page you're talking about : https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-8-page-34 I also was reminded of something that's probably fruitful for theorycrafting: the monsters and the barrier often match thematically: https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-7-page-28

That is the page I was thinking of, but I misremembered the eyes as covered in black, not blank white. I think I mixed it up with this page Wittgen fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Aug 2, 2020 |

I don't think the blank eyes are literal. It looks to me like it's just a way to represent their being dead.

Well, yeah. It's obviously being used that way. But eyes are a pretty strong motif in this comic, so it's interesting to think about what more could be being hinted at here. In addition to the pages already linked, there is Undine and Kokoro's eyes. They are very explicitly the way they are for a reason tying into the nature of magical girl powers. If you want to speculate on what happens to magical girls' powers when they die or why hoops is bothering to kill magical girls, the consistent use of blank or shadowed eyes for dead girls is notable. The one where Tess has pink eyes is especially striking to me. Undine is guilty about what happened to all of them, but she still imagines Tess with pink eyes. Those eyes are the exact thing Tess gave up for Undine that would make her feel guilty. Cagle could have given her blank eyes and emphasized that Magical Aether is dead even if Tess survived. But she didn't. Zoe's magical girl mark and goops getting stabbed are the other notable eye things that I can think of. Zoe feels like she has gotten a lot of screentime for how tangential she is to the main story so far. Could just be because she is awesome, but it feels to me like she will become more important and involved further on.

Here's some more eye imagery to non-magical-girls, a slight scratch from a monster has them all exit from, in addition to your mouth and the wound itself, your eyes https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-9-page-20 a full on death sentence melts them entirely https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-10-page-27 https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-10-page-29

Yeah Bud's eyes seem to always be blank when she's transformed. Either that's some crazy twist coming down the road... or we're drawing too sharp a line around this "eyes" theme.

Her theme color is white so her irises are white. The lack of pupils is probably because irisless pupils are kinda creepy

Bud's eyes are always like that and that's why she's keeping them closed all the time when not transformed.
