Juggs is only somewhat wheel-shaped.

Okay see I know that Abaddon said the original text in the page where Juggs is talking to Maya after their armour got exploded mischaracterised them as a moody tsundere and that's why he changed it, but this page is kind of really reinforcing that original reading e/ regarding the body, iirc we've been told that thorn knights grow to resemble their armour, which is part of why it's so hosed up that they make it themselves. Check out the shoulders and arms especially on this page, they're not just humanoid, it's like they've just been popped out of a thorn knight shaped jelly mould. Juggernaut probably hasn't always looked like this, and I'd bet their original form was much closer to the winged wheel. Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Mar 8, 2020 |

I think it's interesting that to remain the spiky skeleman Juggs has to put energy into it, because every time they tucker out, they go back to being a bishounen babe

Watch Vigilant Gaze follow them to the void too to continue lecturing, instead of obliterating Jugg's (secondary?) physical shell.

This thread went from hating White Chain for being an angel cop, but has turned around to liking Juggs the angel Nazi pretty fast. Y'all confuse me.

It's possible to feel sympathy for a villain and still acknowledge they're bad. And besides, this comics' main theme is about subverting expectations of what people/beings are expected to be, so of course there's gonna be some emotional whiplash.

Destroying their wings might be a part of becoming a Thorne.

If lashing is a common punishment for transgressions in the Thorns then it stands to reason that they would all eventually have little wing nubs left and not much else. Or it could be a side effect of stuffing themselves inside bodies they were never meant to fit in.

I'm pretty sure losing one's wings is part of becoming a Thorn, since none of the others we saw had them either, and Metatron has all those feathers protruding from his cracks/wounds.

People live following webcomics tend to have emotional feelings about characters depending on exactly what is happening on the current page. Notice how everyone stopped yelling at white chain the exact second she stopped actively beating up Allison. The webcomic follower lives in a single everlasting present, without past or future.

I have a friend who finds Juggernaut's total nightmare wreckage persona really interesting and compelling, while finding White Chain's trying-to-do-the-right-thing story much less so. I personally really like White Chain when she's not going all in for the angels, and really hope she punches Juggernaut Star very hard very soon.

The thing is, White Chain is friends with Alison and should definitely know better than to do the enormously dumbass poo poo she's doing. Juggernaut's stupidity is of a more esoteric and abstract nature. I don't think it's weird that an audience would find a personal betrayal much more of a sticking point than aloof villainy.

White Chain is presented as a protagonist and so when White Chain does shithead stuff it's a bigger deal than when the antagonist shithead Nazi angel does shithead Nazi angel stuff, which one would expect. When shithead Nazi angel is potentially not doing shithead Nazi stuff, that is also interesting and a big deal. But yeah it's like if your friend says "I just read this really interesting book, have you heard of Jordan Peterson?" vs if you see some bad take on Twitter.

Tree Bucket posted:I only just got the reference in Juggs name. The original real-world Juggernaut was a huge wheeled device used for religious processions... Actually, that was the British description of the vehicle used to transport the image of Jagganoth around. ‘Juggernaut’ is a British colonial corruption of Jagganoth. E: sorry, to be clear, of the IRL deity Jagganoth is clearly referencing. It would be pretty hosed up to just name a villain after an actual and historically maligned object of worship! EE: also the deity in question is here, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagannath and phonetically very close to Jagganoth. Joe Slowboat fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Mar 9, 2020 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernautquote:The word is probably derived from the Sanskrit/Odia Jagannātha (Devanagari जगन्नाथ, Odia ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ) "world-lord", combining jagata ("world") and natha ("lord"), which is one of the names of Krishna found in the Sanskrit epics. From a cursory web search, the form "Jagganoth" seems limited to K6BD and World of Warcraft.

operant buddy no open-top water glasses near computers Seriously tho, I had to buy one of my coworkers a reusable water bottle after the third time he spilled a glass of water on his computer. He always forgot to use it it and went on to spill one more time. And then spilled a cup of coffee too.

Ouch, been there, it feels really lovely to ruin your own electronics that way. Like.. if it just fails, whatever, things break. But doing it to yourself brings all that self-loathing and "ugh why didn't I..." questions.

No way, that water was gunning for your most expensive equipment. That's how it always goes! Seriously though I've kinda banned water glasses in our office and I get real annoyed if I see anyone with one now, haha. It spilling is kind of inevitable, and it ALWAYS seems to go right on the keyboard. At least we elevate the laptops now so it'll just got on the wireless keyboard instead of the computer itself. That said I am the dingus who keeps dropping my phone into the shower
