Aesma and the Red Eyed King posted:

[...]they ceased to see Aesma as a base and vile creature beyond redemption, and began to see her as a great conquest and affirmation of their own righteousness. They began to imagine in their enlightened minds the power and prestige of a tame and demure Aesma, the most infamous and despised of goddesses. This was a fantastic mistake.

Disastrous things are happening on two fronts.

There there Aesma, don't worry, you'll be able to beat something up soon, I'm sure of it!

I'm guessing we may be about to find out where the girl tributes went.

You have to give Operant credit, he went in a direction none of us were anticipating with the whole handmaiden thing.

Why am I so horrified at the possibility that Mottom might love her husband? Why am I beginning to empathize with the grandmotherly maw at the end of the universe? Why am I still giggling at the phrase "Apply violence directly to problem?"

So I was thinking, maybe Jagganoth isn't really unstoppable. Maybe Mottom is just really bad at killing people.

I cannot decide which part of the update I like more, the actual comic or Aesma finding new ways to gently caress up.

Aughhh this is unbelievably good.

This is dark souls as gently caress.

I mean the whole comic is really, but especially this section, with an ex-king turned into a horrifying abomination by his own power who just refuses to die, locked away behind a bigass door with a circular seal on it. It's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to find behind a fog wall.

I have to admit, I was hoping that Aesma coming back to the Sun Temple would result in a montage where they hilariously fail to teach her the bare minimum of how to be a proper lady, a la Miss Congeniality (or Princess Diaries, whichever works best)

Turns out Mottom can't actually kill people. Turning them into a tree or plant let's her skirt that rule.

I wonder if she's keeping Hastet alive through her will subconsciously, much like how she keeps her palace afloat and physical even within the void, and after a while she just gave up and started feeding him handmaidens for immortality peaches because eh what can you do, poo poo's hard when you're the 5th most powerful thing within the universe.

has there been anything posted on the tumblr concerning why the angels prayer asks Aesmas forgiveness for doing violence? because, uh, i dont really see her as minding too much, if not being like "naw dogg, go nuts. its all good."

The Tumblr posted:

Anonymous asked: Why would a prayer to Aesma apologize for violence?

Aesma kind of chilled out a bit once her eyes were blown out from seeing the true shape of the universe and the secret name of God. She spent the rest of her days bashing significantly less heads (though she did bash a few here and there for good measure).

Aesma of all beings would have compassion for someone deciding to punch the poo poo out of everything even if its not a very good idea.

Or, well, she would if she ever actually learned about compassion.

This does give a certain insight into why, when Allison asked Mottom why she didn't just kill her and take the key of kings, Mottom basically said, "...nah. I'm not gonna do that."

I somehow missed the bit of lore that identifies Aesma as the creator of humans, which explains a lot about humans in general.

I've learned by now that my guesses are probably wrong, but it's possible that part of it is her simply trying to win the argument with Allison, who ism Mottom's perspective) kind of being very annoying in the face of hard-earned wisdom.
