Do any of the demiurges have a domain that's actually relatively nice? My own bias is really obvious, but do you have a favorite Pursuer? Also, I got my FLCS to stock the comic, I look forward to picking it up!

Is YS-VOYA ever going to show up again? Or is it safe to assume that every bird on panel is also YS-VOYA? Or to put it another way, to what extent are you still integrating content from the comments section? And are there plans for another big submission thing like Princess' name?

I guess this is sort of a power level question, but it's not so much about rankings or specific comparison, just a general sense of when to expect poo poo to really hit the fan. You've said in the past that Jagganoth is more powerful than any other single demiurge, but not as powerful as all the other demiurges put together. I imagine Allison taking out Mottom raises the specter of chaos, but doesn't change the equation too drastically - Jagganoth still can't take on the others alone, though the margin isn't as certain. But Allison seems to be on course to go after the others. About when does the scale tips in his favor, if nothing else changes? When half the demiurges fall? More? Less?

Hey Operant, cool comic! Could you share a bit about the writing process? Your world seems so eclectic and chaotic that it must be hard to keep everything balanced. Do you have an outline for how the whole plot will play out and you're filling it in?

Since other folks seem to be handling the questions, I guess I'll take care of wild speculation. Here are some things that will definitely for sure happen in the comic, I am totally certain of it:

I'm not sure Allison actually needs a sword, but she'll probably come to very much like the idea of a sword.

Question: What does the white hot Fire of Will look like in motion? Ages ago I started trying to make a gif out of Zoss' stand against the Prime Angels, but I couldn't get his blade to look right. Is it more like lightning, fire, or liquid, or what?

Jagganoth will be defeated by someone, possibly Allison, gaslighting him so hard that he believes he actually destroyed all life in the multi-verse already (really everyone just hides when he comes around). Thus believing his mission to be complete, one of two things will happen. He will undo what allows him to be immortal in order to finish the job, thus allowing either his suicide or for Allison to pull a totally sick decapitation move. Or he won't be able to remove his invulnerability, he'll despair that his mission can never be completed, and everyone comes out to laugh at him for being such a dumb angsty loser. Then we'll be treated to a full page spread of all the characters enjoying assorted cakes and teas while discussing Baroque artwork.

The Lord of Hats posted:So if you were approached with an offer for a K6BD animated series, do you think you'd instead try a different story in the same universe, or would you want to try something else entirely? I think things would work really well as like a 10-20min short just set in the same universe if there were people insane enough to animate the dumb way I draw comics (which is already way more time consuming than necessary). I'd say the demiurges all rule places that are more or less ok to live in. They're kings that rule insane amounts of territory, and I like to imagine most of them rule by proxy or vassalage. That said, I think Solomon's political structure is probably the most total and also the most stable, he's got a sort of roman empire thing going on with citizenship and (theoretical) voting rights. The giant baby is my favorite. Archenteron posted:When will we get the story of Aesma's Dog? Apocron posted:Hey Operant, cool comic! To answer the first question, I hope so, but I can't say for sure. I'm not going to force any stories out that I don't think have a good context and meaning to them though, that's sort of how these things crop up. To answer the second, my writing process was sort of iterative to start. I think for the first 10-15 pages of the comic I didn't have a firm grip of where Allison was going and what the general arc of the story was going to be. I realized pretty quickly this is a good way for your comic to turn into Homestuck (not to rag on homestuck too much though, it gets a lot of hate already). I sat down about two years ago and wrote out the general story map of the entire story. Then I went in to particular chapters and wrote out scene maps, dialogue, or cool moments that I think need to occur. What each character is sort of about and what their character arc should be. Allison in particular was kind of tough since she's sort of a cipher for the audience but I hope I've imbued her with a little bit of pathos by now. Cio and White Chain have much clearer arcs and conflicts that I think are easier to get into. If I could do anything over, I would probably establish a clearer and stronger character arc for Allison from the get go, but alas I don't have infinite time or the desire to re-do pages I finished 2 years ago. So do know generally how things are going for the main arcs down the road (we have a heist arc next, followed by a kung-fu tournament arc, I hope), and scene maps for stuff a little closer (pretty soon Allison cuts her hair, Cio talks about her past), but I don't like to keep things super tight and rigid because sometimes moments crop up that just fit during the natural process of writing. For example, Allison originally wasn't going to destroy the evil tree that Mottom's husband became. But as soon as I drew the page when it appears, I knew instantaneously that she had to destroy it, and it would be an important character moment. paragon1 posted:What counts as a demon? I mean I hate using this term because people get confused as hell about it but in my view it's good general term for a force of evil.

From what we've been told already, as of this moment, Jagganoth's victory over his fellow demiurges is certain. There are now only five to oppose him instead of the six who could have held him off. He is going to win. The question is how long it will take him. To THAT question, the answer is currently "oh, a couple thousand years. but it'll happen." We can safely expect Allison to continue shortening that timeframe.
