I think first there's going to be drama about Cassidy disappearing off the face of the earth straight after falling out with the gang.

Bonus guess: Once Undine, Kokoro et al do learn and process the fact that she's dead, it will be revealed that she isn't

Although more realistically I expect Goops to find Undine & Kokoro and brag about it to them

It would pull Undine out of her delusion she can keep the others safe by not telling them about the crazy murderghost or whatever it is Goops is supposed to be.

I suppose there's nothing saying she COULDN'T be damaged by a magical girl but it seems substantial this is the first time we saw it actually happen, even if she did kind of shrug it off


Yeah I think that the Odd part is her lashing out and injuring Goops, who was previously untouchable

On a meta level, this is the only page so far that features her that has alt-text and maybe that's worth noting... but probably not.

Someone told me that on the Discord Cagle explained that this page can have alt text because it has a panel after Goopy has left.

Speaking of goops, I keep looking at that second to last panel and seeing how hosed up the left side of her face is now and it makes me feel good. Also that we now know goops can be damaged and that’s apparently a surprise even to her. gently caress goops.

Her tactics really haven't changed as much as she implied they would, put monsters in the city and find targets of opportunity to take direct action in.

she spawned way more monsters and is playing a more active distraction. This is the first time she's physically interacted with anyone, I think, that's pretty notable

I wonder if there's going to be a lot more than just Cass dead/gone missing once morning comes.

Not saying this comic needs a[n offscreen] magical girl massacre, but they really emphasized the increased monsters several times, goops played a more active role and it'd be a little weird if Cassidy was the only victim in all this and purely because goop got involved to take down one (1) magical girl

The alt text for the new page makes think that the night isn’t quite over yet. Isn’t known that even after last call and the barrier is getting ready to down there may still be a monster presence that may require “mopping up” while the girls are on their way home?

Re: Sleepless Domain:

Cassidy unraveling instead of re-materializing as a bunch of humorously sliced up people bits is interesting. There's definitely an opening there for her not to be dead, since the slices across her two forms don't line up perfectly. A metal multi-layered scar from her two halves having to merge and fuse over the places her two halves had to fill in for each other would be cool, with the added danger that she might not be able to split apart any more.

In other comics news: Tiger, Tiger just finished a chapter and the end of the first book, which apparently means it's 1/3rd done. The last chapter had a lot of great backstory on how Remy and Jamis met and became uh.... buds.

Also pecs:

lots and lots of pecs

Ludo getting her own monster crush still seems to be a bit off, but the ending of the last chapter is intriguing. I wonder what it means that Luck looks to be subconsciously influenced into wanting to be with Ludo rather than smashing the ship to pieces? I've kind of figured for a while that the deep sea god has a special interest in Ludo since she's probably the only person on the planet deeply enthusiastic about deep sea sponges, but I wonder what more there is to that.

I'm also interested to see how Tiger, Tiger handles the "New World" idea. The setting so far has been a more diverse 18th century Europe analog, and it's been unclear what exactly Remy's crew does to earn money journeying across the ocean. Reaping the rewards of brutal imperialism and colonization? Peaceful trading with the native people? Both? Neither? I guess we'll find out soon.

Tiger, Tiger is so good. I really like how (unusually for webcomics) she looked hard and carefully at something that wasn't really working - I liked Prague Race a lot, but man was it starting to ramble - and just chucking it and starting over, learning from what she'd done before. Even just the small point of people telling her "Prague Race is... kinda white, you know?" and not digging her heels in, but just saying "y'know, you're right!" and making her fake 18th century Europe ethnically diverse. (Diverse in terms of openness to sexual orientations too, but that's a Webcomics Given.)

I also like how Luck is turning out to be kind of a dumbass in addition to being a scary powerful seal? dog? monster, sexy dumbasses being some of my favorite kinds of villain.

It's really nice! And a very detailed, interesting world so far, too. That's why I'm curious how she'll approach the new world and what it's like, since that's a really big nasty pit of spikes that are easy to fall into.

I'm still thinking at least part of Luck's dumbassery might be influenced by whatever happened when they bit Ludo, and I'm sure their meeting and sticking together is probably tied to the deep sea god having a vested interest in the one person who appreciates deep sea life enough to make it her life's goal to study it, but it's vague enough now that I'm still wondering to what degree and how that will shape up, too.

Poor Cassidy.
I feel like it'll be an exceptionally rough night for MG groups, but a potentially fatal night for loners. Cassidy is an extremely good fighter, but she got into trouble because there was nobody to watch her back(s), because she blew off her team after having a rough-rear end day. This is not to victim blame! I just think the reality of being a magical girl gets so normalized for those involved they can sometimes forget there are reasons they're encouraged to group up that surpass social dynamics, and both times we've seen that sort of team break-down it's ended badly.

With Cassidy specifically I think there's another layer where HP has been fighting on her own for so long and been fine, so when Cassidy needed a) space and b) to vent frustration, it seemed like a really good idea to split off from her team for a night and just whale on monsters.
