Huh, Patchworm's pattern matches her glasses. That implies that it's inside those, not her. Does she have a second spirit causing the glowing eyes, or...?

The surprise here isn't that Spender's managed to mess up another friendship, but rather that he and Zarei (or really anyone) were ever close enough friends for him to mess it up.

Why are you assuming that Spender messed this one up when Patchworm is talking as if it's Zarai who's the cause?

I find it likely that they're friends and share some bad habits, like being badass loner self-destructive anime maniacs.

Because, let's be honest here, Spender ruins everything he touches because he is Richard Spender.

Honestly the way Spender's stonewalled him on basic poo poo for no reason, a fact confirmed by Boss Leader, makes him just about the easiest double-agent recruitment ever. Zarei could give him a drip-feed of basic facts about the nature of spirits and non-critical knowledge about the Consortium's mere existence and get anything she might want to know about the Activity Club in return. Hell, Isaac's this close to selling Spender out on spite alone.

I wonder if patchhweeyerm just looks like that or if they did actually used to be a hweeyerm and are currently metamorphosing.

Also I wonder if Spender and Zarei met during the formation of an all-glasses spectral team.

Why do people talk about anime in the Paranatural thread, a webcomic that just finished an arc that was an extended homage to a bunch of different anime.

Paranatural is an anime comic.

Also sentai isn't anime.

Mina is very dangerously close to being confirmed as basically being a female spender that doesn't screw up the illusion of being cool and brooding nearly as often.

Also interesting is how Patchworm uses "still" when describing her connection with Spender, implying that there was some kind of event which probably strained it a bit. It'll be interesting to see if Zarei's response elaborates on this a bit.

Everything in Pranatural can also be found in Power Rangers in equal abundance. So it's either all anime, or none of it is.

I imagine relatively balanced people don't generally end up becoming spectrals and the messed up experiences you have AFTER you become one sort of compound in on themselves as you get older.
