I don't know why I thought that she was manifesting a new cultivar of butt-peach.

Which immediately raised the question - could she manifest a new youth restoring butt-peach/plum/apple?

If the Red Art could do that, don't you think Mottom would have just did that?

She uses it for basically everything else.

The fruit cannot just be made because immortality is fundamentally not a Royal desire. It might be a Royal result, but, a side effect.

Royalty is immortal not because you don't want to ever die, but rather because you don't feel like dying right now, you've got other stuff to do.

I distinctly remember someone in the thread said that just because Zoss was killed didn't mean he had to die, and Operant responded that this person was closer to Royalty than any of the demiurges.

I also thought it was a weirdly flavored peach. Which immediately brought this to mind when Cio took a bite:

Apparently, that thought might have also entered Al's mind too.

Pretty psyched about the Allison/Cio relationship. Gonna be interesting to see what happens as Allison draws closer to Royalty and further from Mortality.

man the comments section for this page is a disaster.

i can't even post anymore, Operant did you just shut it down in a last ditch effort to quench the garbage fire or is it legit broken?

also i did the AND THEN THEY hosed bird post. just wanted to take credit for that while im here

Let's see why Operant would have possibly closed-

Some Rando posted:

this comic has become a straight white males personal fetishization material
it’s sad because it has cool concepts and world building but the portrayal of this sudden lesbian relationship is entirely and utterly problematic and very much seen through the male gaze

guess after 2 years of reading i’m finally done

...oh.

It seems like this is a game they play now. Cio doesn’t want to be too pushy since that is something the old her would of done (remember the comic right before the time jump when her and Allison shared a cig?) but she is also a demon who is likely ALWAYS dtf. I read the “wanna have sex?” In an almost exasperated tone, having in because CIO, being the minx that she is, would continue to not subtly push the subject. It seems like this thing happens often.

I like it. It feels fairly real, mundane and cute.

it's so totally Cio and if i wasn't a dude i'd be so gay for both of them

Honestly, it's true that this kind of scene can easily get self-indulgent but I feel like the double fake-out is a decently clever mean of creating distance. And the comic literally started with a sex scene, it's not like depicting or alluding to it was ever off the table.

Yeah, that comments section went bad in a hurry. And it's not even the "oh no problematical" comment, which was pretty well shut the gently caress down. It's the sheer thirst in a lot of comments being more than a lil' creepy.

Not a hint, ever. Not a smidge. Two years of a nice, happy Jesus approved comic and suddenly we're in Gomorrah. Well I'm out. Good day to you sir.

I figured it was more "working them to death / murdering them for fun / murdering them for their insolence / eating them for their soul flames," that kind of thing.
