A Wizard of Goatse posted:

The difference was Mottom introduced Allison to how the demiurges operate but Allison herself had no stake in the game, nothing to benefit from the whole human sacrifice testicle tree arrangement except I guess just avoiding conflict with pure evil. It's probable (hopeful) that Allison isn't just going to roll over and accept that whole MO now that it's being done for her benefit but I really hope at least she doesn't manage some magical rear end-pull that bypasses the moral conflict entirely. Her "cheating" this would be a copout of the whole learning to be a better heir to God than the Seven thing, the reason they created an endless empire of cruelty and terror wasn't because they were just so much dumber than the average barista they couldn't see all the better and simpler alternatives for what to do with their power.

Aesma-ing it and just wrassling her way through an endless army of priest-accountants might be an acceptable alternative, though.
I do agree that it switches things around in that it really is directly the result of her choices, and that is definitely a difference.

But it was seeing what Mottom was about that pushed her into deciding "gently caress it, I'm King." Allison was effectively stating that in the same circumstances, she wouldn't have made the compromise Mottom did, even knowing the ramifications. Folding on this would immediately undercut that whole narrative arc. The big narrative question is whether Allison really understands the consequences. Allison making the morally right choice here, drat the repercussions, and realizing there's more to that than she realized - especially unintended consequences, especially if they're to someone else - seems like a necessary step towards the arc in understanding why the demiurges made the choices they did.

Also given the way the story works, even if Allison manages a magical rear end-pull I doubt it will entirely bypass the moral choice. At least, there will be a cost for doing it, in one way or another. Maybe not an immediate one though.

FAKE EDIT: I don't necessarily think Felicia is going to survive, mind, I just don't she's going to get sacrificed to the door for Allison's benefit.

Eh, I'm sure the door will be fine if you just feed it something. Like, I dunno, the eye of a certain protagonist that has been heavily foreshadowed as to losing an eye in a future event.

Allison should have better timed her murders because she could have killed two birds with one stone and shoved Goldie in the mouth to save Felicia. I presume this is something you learn in cutmaster school?

My assumption after a few min to take the comic in is that Allison is going to flip poo poo and do a Thing Royally but do it too late and its gonna be bye felicia and also goodbye subtle godhead.

It turns out the door doesn't actually chew, it just sorta gently suckles on an entire person for a while and later the priests extract and quietly lead them back out of the fortress and leave them to be traumatized for the rest of their lives.
