I think the perspective on that panel looks fine? It could probably be better, I guess, but it doesn't look wrong to me.

Phy posted:I don't think that's the way she's going with this. On the tumblr, when he was still using it, Operant said the Petal Knights "forsook the Law" to "seek life's pleasures" and I don't think that's what White Chain is doing here But according to the RPG, there are also petal knights off living happy, quiet lives in isolation. We just see the ones in the comic getting by in urban parts of throne, using their skills as best they can to make money. Also according to Operant the petal knights are the coolest and have their poo poo most together of all the angels

The one Petal Knight we've seen in the comic itself was extorting some guy and breaking teacups, which is pretty significant imagery. That kinda sets the tone for what's appropriate to expect from them until we meet any more of them. When they say "be gay, do crimes" I don't think that's the kind of crime they're usually talking about.

Yeah I can kind of see how the feet are making it weirder, now that I look at the original again. I still think the original is really good though. That kind of perspective shot is really hard to pull off.

Also the effect of the panel simultaneously having him in really powerful posture but overall smaller than you thought works really well for the text on said panel

He often threw his head back and laughed at how bullshit everything was. He achieved royalty by having no time or concern for it. He was buried in a plain grave and mourned only by the more devoted of his family and a few fans of his noodles. He was the smallest and most meager crawling thing. He had and will have no equal. Royalty is a continuous  -ing motion

When Meti says that being a noodle vendor is a good thing to be, it isn't because noodle vendors don't care, it's because they care very deeply about something that makes people's lives better in a way you can actually control, without becoming a horrible control freak who ruins everyone around you. You don't succeed by not caring - Incubus doesn't care. You succeed by caring very deeply about very close things.

It stands to reason that any petal knight that dares to live in an urban area is likely to be drawn to a life of crime. And again, I'm not making up the thing about some being nonviolent and solitary, it's straight from the RPG book: Not all Petal Knights are ruthless or exploitive, and some merely live solitary live away from their brethren and the stifling rules of their order, seeking the indulgences of mortal life denied to them for so long. Petal knights aren't more evil - they're more human. PMush Perfect posted:Yeah. She didn't tell Maya to go be irrelevant, she told her to go be fat and happy, have a family, and simple, steady, concrete work. To live a life that's good and personally gratifying. Although if Maya followed that advice she'd probably be dead from famine or war. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Apr 23, 2020 |

read this a few years ago, greatly enjoyed it, but petered out during the leadup to the yre heist because of the (understandably) slow pace of updates. today someone on these dead gay forums mentioned it in a context I've already forgotten. several hours later I've reread literally the entire thing plus the stuff I hadn't seen before. I guess murderous kung fu hindu anime on hallucinogens is compelling reading.

The way I take it is that Petal Knights have abandoned any alliegence to a higher duty in favour of self-indulgence. Which is not what WC is doing here. She's recognising that there are other important things as well as just the strict law, but she's choosing to act on morality.
