RareAcumen posted:Personally I can't wait till these girls taking selfies become the main focus of the plot for 3 months. They look cool. On another note, I think it's kinda neat that Penny is the 'chosen one' family heiress but also is the 'chosen one' white aura spectral who can handle wights. Overshadowing Rick on both fronts. (Though who the hell knows what kind of spirit he's got bottled up.) e: rereading this chapter I as usual picked up a head smacking wordplay I missed the first time. https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-7-page-28 "s'mosgasbord" lmao Fecha fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Mar 13, 2021 |

Fecha posted:I remember first reading that page and thinking those characters were far too interesting looking to be random NPCs. I figured they were either soon to be introduced or Zach was throwing in fanart of someone / something, and sure enough, they're the latter. This chapter had me assuming that Spender was also trying to hold back a Wight as well.  https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-7-page-18

Well, we know the broken sculpture is holding something like a "nuclear bomb", and Lucifer is fighting against it keeping it in balance. We also know Sockpuppy is dead/gone/whatever, and it was Mina's first (and possibly had the most potential) artificial spirit, and that it had the power to control spirits. On top of that, implications from earlier in this chapter suggest that Mina and Rick were both involved in "the incident" that presumably led to Rick getting possessed by the shadow spirit. This "incident" led the Burgers to investigate the situation further, and led Mina/Rick to feel not only responsible for it but also to become distrustful of others to such a level that they both passively/actively oppose the Consortium. Given that the opening pages of this chapter has Garcia urging Rick to reunite with Mina, and given that the comic has an overall theme of "you can't really do anything on your own, you need to work with your friends", and given that they both are stubborn dorks, I'm betting that they were trying to tackle the same problem of the Wight using two different routes/methods.

Although maybe the shadow spirit is on the verge and if Spender lets go it'll undergo transformation. Or it's not white and wight at the moment because it's 'broken'

To be fair to Darkstorme Spender, I'd pull a face like that too if I had to shake hands with my dad while looking at a camera and my haircut was a walking advertisement for McDonalds.

My assumption was that Spender avoids yellow tools because they'll consume his own yellow energy and leave him without enough to contain the Whatever It Is.

No comic this week for vaccine reasons, but we do get a very cute sketch. The way she's being presented at the moment I'm getting the strong feeling Penny isn't going to be a villain once she starts engaging with the plot. And presumably Mr Garcia by extension.

I mean this with all the love in my heart, but they are the most frequently injured or sick artist I follow. I only point this out because I suspect they've been cursed by some sort of genie or warlock that is destroying their health. (Joking aside, the second dose of my shot laid me up with a fever for 3 days, so I sympathize)

I feel very sad for Penny here, but I also can't really blame Rich either. There's clearly something toxic about the Spender family; both of their children want out of it. Richard pretty much has already, and is on the cusp of cutting off entirely once he's old enough with his own income to get his own place - presumably being a spectral and finding a community his parents outright can't perceive (probably) has helped a lot there. And Penny wants to get out with him. But Penny is also the parents' golden child, she's manged to play the "dutiful good boy" role that Richard couldn't. She obviously doesn't want to, but it might be what she needed to do to survive in that environment. I can't really blame Richard for not trusting her to not bring all the family baggage with her into his free life. Even if she doesn't want to. Their parents have apparently given up on him, but what happens when they come looking for their younger, favoured child? How will Penny respond? What will they do to his life outside of them? And that's before getting into the problems of bringing a non-spectral to a Consortium members' hangout. But I think if things were different and Richard did love and trust his sister he'd have been okay bringing her anyway. It's a nasty situation that's hurting them both, but I can't blame either child for their parts in it.
