On a lighter note, a bit of comic craft from Mary.

I’m beginning to suspect the correct answer is “gently caress both factions with a rusty spoon” because nether side, between a gaggle of paranoid facist child slavers and fae who have on more than one occasion made their disappointment in their faustian bargains being too utilitarian (and are also into child abductions but thats fae for you), sounds entirely great.

I am currently reading through a thing called Space Boy that I am enjoying. Interesting concept, if nothing else. Feels a little like it's going around in circles though, but I'm only halfway through it.

Eh, I lost interest when it was clear that the author was going to drone on In intricate detail about Oliver's past when the core of the information (IE: There was a big todo in the space station he was in, he's apparently the only survivor and he's connecting to a robot somehow) was there and there was some interesting stuff with not-weyland-yutani being cockend central about to go down.

Not the first webtoon to do that ether, fuckin' Girls of the Wilds.

she was selling "aged up" erotica of her characters on the side, which led to a minor shitstorm that had her surreptitiously trying to doxx the people who called her out on it. it was a mess all around

Was that part about her putting up a bounty for information on the people calling her out only for someone to slip her fake info and the use the money ($500 I think it was) to buy a really expensive Dio figurine true?

Yeah, it's part of the reason I can only really stand to follow maybe 2 Webtoons. They're SUCH a chore to read. I like it when a comic very sparingly uses the technique for dramatic and/or emotional effect (Octopus Pie being the absolute best example) but when it's every single page it loses its appeal. It also makes them impossible (or at least difficult) to release in physical form.

That some webtoons have all the pacing of an ant pushing a brick in the middle of a black hole and a subset of that has some of the most unlikable protagonists I’ve had the misfortune to come across (seriously, I’m hoping the end of Unordinary is a meteor wiping the planet of super sociopaths the gently caress out) absolutely doesn’t help.

Freakin' finally, Sleepless Domain is starting to do something with Tessa's plot.

I thought the SD channel of Mary’s discord renaming itself to "It’s not the Voidfish." was pretty funny.

I mean Tessa is probably gonna finish circling that mental breakdown square of hers and/or become Goops' personal Psycho Ranger but we can at least have a sensible chuckle about it.

I think Goopy actually wants to make her into a dark magical girl, because that would be a pretty solid story option here.

Given Goops stated goal of destroying Undine mentality then literally, her using Tess like that makes more sense than simply showing up, going ‘dun murdered your friend’ and showing her the spoils given what happened the last time she tried that sort of stunt with HP.

On that point I hope we get more solid info on her beef soon.

I think there’s a little more going on with Cassidy than rumormongering, since she’s intense enough to cut herself in half nightly. She’s probably got some kind of personal trauma backstory, since, y’know, she’s a magical girl in this setting.

Or maybe her lot is proportionaly light to how bonkers her power is. Who knows! :psyduck:

So, there's been a thing where Mary exposited that there was a "secret bitch" (sic) in the midsts and the entire Discord Server is kinda in agreement that Cass is both her (regardless of who the secret bitch actauly is) and an idiot.

I hope Udine doesn't even fight Cassidy, she just comes right out and lays it all down and then Cassidy will hopefully be like "Oh... holy poo poo." Also hopefully realizing that people with severe PTSD aren't always rational actors.

I kinda hope 'dine tells her to gently caress off and not even give her the satisfaction of a fight.
Granted the whole clone thing basicaly is a set up for Undine to snap and give Cassidy a swift kick in The Cheat (via Laser strength water pressure) without immediate consequence so that's probably what's gonna go down.

Edit: Oh and Mary's gone on record about Cassidy being the secret bitch, so :ms: there.

Guess Cass's clones aren't super hardy

also laughing at going WRONG to someone saying they don't owe an explanation to someone they don't even know

The logical side of my brain totaly knows that Cass would be the perfect target to be killed or corrupted by Goops as part of the metaphorical part of her plan to destroy Undine.
The reptilian side of my brain wants her to hit the canvas so hard that she bounces for being such a loving idiotic brat.

That said, as mentioned before Mary Cagle is really good at this writing thing and I am just a rando so perhaps she can make a redemption arc work. We shall see!

I mean, we also don’t know what Cass has been through. Maybe nothing! But I would assume given this comic that she has some kind of trauma motivating her, especially since she got this whole design and deal, and it would be a waste if she’s just there to be a jerk and get pwnt by Bud Lightyeet.

Mary's said on stream that whatever's motivating her is not trauma.

My working theory is that monsters take something via contact from their victims and that makes them evolve; be it into "imperfect" beasts based on fears (We've seen animals, cartoon mascots and even bizzare poo poo like the MouthBurger) or "Perfect" sapiant humanoids like the The shivering child, who I think was in the corner like that because what it took of Kokoro's mom included her maternal instincts for Kokoro. or Goops, who took taking on the resentiment of magical girls / 'dine of her victim.

Not so much "Madoka" as more "Snatcher". These arn't the victims, they are mimicrys.

I expect it but it will be through grinding teeth as plot cans getting kicked down the road is my #1 bugbear about webcomics given that "A few chapters" could mean a few years airtime.

You can’t let something like goops go. I understand she could easily turn into ‘dine’s white whale but if she lets this go (and, don’t get me wrong there is a compelling argument to do so) there’s no telling what goops might do to get her attention.

Course Goops might just make a shot at the Magical Girls that were palling around with her target (and Cass because, sure, why not cause some wonton destruction whilst your at it?) and force her hand in the matter.
