How long before Bud finds out?

I mean... Bud probably has like a board for all this and HP and 'Dine an Item is probably on there.

Frankly, I have no trust in any organistion structure that happily browbeats children into national service, sends them out into a forever war against beings that haunt the diseased mind of Lovecraft and then makes merchendise out of them.

Cassidy died because she placed petty teenage bullshit ahead of solidarity and relied only on herself. It's the exact same reason Team Alchemical died. I don't think it's fair to read the comic as saying either Cassidy or Team Alchemical deserved their fates. Rather, I think the comic is making an argument that you need to both help others and rely on others in kind of equal measure if you're going to be successful.

:hmmyes:

That being said, given the nature of what happened, yeah we needed this confirmation of her eating dirt.

Even in death an ambigious state of existance Cass is able to ruin everything.
Her ability wasn't to cut her self in half, that was just a biproduct of her actual ability, to be human marmite.

The kids are alright but quick to forget Cassidy did basicly pull a knife out on 'dine.

Course, the creepiest thing to happen right now would be for her to show up and be just fine

Undine, what you're feeling right now is called survivor guilt and it's why these girls need therapists.

To be fair it's been stated that there are theropists (and meds) involved, just how much 'dine is engaging with that in lieu of Goops Huntin', however, has not been disclosed.

There are therapists and meds involved for HP. Undine has explicitly copped to using neither of those things to Zoe. Which is a large part of the problem.

Fair enough. I wasn’t sure if I was making up stuff that happened between the end of the prologue (ch 2) and the story proper.

Magical Girl marketing is so strong that you almost forget there was a mortality rate before Goops started ramping things up.

Oh yeah no, this place was a Hell Dimension long before the HP Lovecraft sludge gained sentience and started picking targets.

I like all of em tbh, playing favorites is a sucker's game. I actually didn't like Undine for a while because I went into the whole thing completely blind and I almost refused to believe for a couple pages that they'd kill off all the more interesting and colorful personalities to focus on The Mom Friend but that's the whole magic of the comic.

Try that in the throws of an anxiety based mental episode.
I'm sure some here could attest that I was a right rat bastard for a while.

I beginning to think Goops!Tessa is more Tess than she was even prior to Team Alchemical getting chumped.

Also, given the code on this page "ENOUGH" "GO AWAY" I'm beginning to wonder just how in danger Anemone actually is.

Yeah it was sad. Shouldn't play favorites with kitties but Froyo was the best of the 3 by far IMHO.

Is that going to be a problem for her fostering? I mind that being a thing but I can't remember.

I could be misremembering something but I thought I minded it being a policy thing she mentioned.

Has anyone ever mentioned what non-MG dreams are like? Because I’m getting some “nightmares made manifest” vibes now.

Given what form they take, I've always assumed they take the form of people's fears; animals, cartoon characters, distorted human features (Mouths).

isasphere posted:

Oh, dang. Mary has stated that this isn't like Madoka, in that the monsters aren't former magical girls.

She never said anything about them not being former people.

Minus "It's not a dream" this is starting to feel a lot more FF X right now.
Cuz there's a non-zero chance these monsters, if not the whole entire enterprise are powered by the souls of the damned.

Really the only bad thing about all this quality wise - and I know it's a fault with the medium rather than any unforced error on Cagle's part - is that its IMHO a bit frustrating to read in webcomic time for, about a month or so (?), for the resolution to be "And no one will remember this so no progress can be made on this point."
