I liked Jack and Linton when they were treated sympathetically  it's been a long time since they showed up as anything other than gigantic idiots.

No, THIS is the best thing ever:  Also, I think all the weird fairies are going to pour out through the rift and destroy the housing estate, in a searing social commentary on the effects of bad urban planning. Either that, or the whole story will peter out unsatisfyingly. This is John Allison, so it could go either way.

Getting too unreliable as a narrator now, Lottie.

Does Shauna know this horse from somewhere? I don't remember seeing him before.

I don't know but in kindergarten we were exposed to the helpful advice of Patch the Pony, who warned us against getting into cars with strangers and is at least related to Gary the Horse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1REeR9L83zE Presumably, Shauna met Gary when she and Lottie documented the fairy creatures years ago?

So this is why Lottie and Shauna aren't friends anymore I assume.

Hmm. Yeah, it does sound like this is leading to "give up the friendship between you two". But also remember that Lottie is telling this whole story, after the events of The Missing Piece.

The whole thing can very well be nothing more than a big fib on Lottie's part.

Pistol_Pete posted:"... and that's why me and Shauna don't hang out together any more!" That's what I was going for. Maybe not the whole thing made up, but I could totally see someone telling a story that takes place near the end of an important friendship and dropping in rationalizations for why they grew apart.

I'm guessing that the Green Man is bullshitting and their friendship can't save their pocket reality, he's just taking it as a 'gently caress you'. It's the One More Day of the Bobbinsverse.

Or maybe it's just Lottie logicking away why they've drifted apart because she can't understand it in any other way.

It's sickening how he can threaten us with Desmond like that. It's like your dad has some scary mask that terrifies toddler-you and he just breaks it out whenever he feels like it. Hypothetically. i hate you dad

I have a terrible feeling that Little Claire is referring to Desmond in today's. Lottie met him when she was young, didn't she.

I also recall this to be the storyline in which Shauna was introduced; she's come such a long way from being a side character in a Desmond-centric storyline. Also while looking for that comic I found this one, in which Ryan can't read a digital clock.

Imagine having a giant Desmond Fishman plushy. Just sitting there in your room. Staring at you. Watching you while you sleep.
