Yeah true. And the same pubic hair.

To be fair, she doesn't seem to have done that thing where she only shaves the pussy lips for some reason. Could be the angle though.

I know my respectful depictions of Native Americans always includes the ceremonial hymen checkers. Oh, and the implication (in Legacy) that native cultures should evolve into what appears to be a carbon copy of Callanian culture in terms of shopping and cities and what have you.

I am still giggling over the reason there’s nudity in the comic now - he thought that he went over the top on violence for old Deegan and wanted to show more wholesome nudity instead.

And the end result is equally gratuitous, pointless and ugly.

I don't know why everyone thinks she told her that she has no soul. She had a reflection. The witch did something to it. It vanished. And then it showed an angle where we couldn't even see what she was looking at anymore. She could have seen anything in there.

She made ripples in the water is what she did. I don't think Corpselady Whose New Name I Have Already Forgotten's reflection literally vanished, just got broken up by the ripples. I would not be surprised if this never came up again, in fact!

This was my read of that particular page. It has all the qualities that should make it appear symbolic, in some vague sense, bu none of the actual clarity and coherence that would actually symbolize.

I still want to know what that dipshit on Twitter thinks is well written or respectful about Donovan being one of the most honored and celebrated people in the orc culture. It's literally exactly the same as Dances With Wolves/Avatar/Last Samurai where a white dude becomes so great at being another race that they accept him as one of their own. Oh except Donovan can't actually speak orcish worth a poo poo so why the hell is he respected?

The most infuriating part of this is something that hasn't actually been revealed in the comic reread yet, so I guess don't read if you are invested in waiting to be angry months down the line:

Donovan actually can speak Orcish just fine, he only pretends he can't and speaks in nonsense because he thinks it's funny.

I sort of read it as Canada not ever having seen her reflection before, so she had no concept of what she looked like, and sort of contemplating in silence.

It's a hard world for little things.
I think everyone's overthinking this again. Probably because reading Legacy is like staring at clouds...it's mostly just white noise, so your brain starts making up patterns for you to see.

Anyway, this is exactly an old JRPG quest thing. The NPC in the last town said to go to the lake and talk to the chandak. So they go to the lake and the only person they encounter is the chandak.

Arudak is here to find out about his fridge'd girlfriend, so that's the first thing the chandak talked about when the party clicked on her. Now we're getting a little cutscene where the rest of the party is getting their fortune told. But although the chandak lady apparently works more or less exactly like a coin-operated mechanical fortune teller at a county fair, instead of dispensing fortunes in like ten seconds like a Zoltan machine would, we've got to do the weird "Mookie's idea of a comic with no dialogue" kabuki dance where we see what happened one day and then get all the words that go with it several days later in a "diary" infodump.

As for what corpsemon's fortune was I have no idea, but I have a haunting suspicion that it will involve Snout in an absolutely cringe-inducing way that will lead to the conclusion that the question being answered was something like "Will I marry Snout y/n?" or something like that.

And Snout is going to get the next bullet item on the main plot quest but that's so poorly defined so no telling what it'll actually be. Could just be that chandak lady's got like a Little Free Library just offshore and she's going to just hand Snout another loving library book because you know why not.

Mookie's one strength is that he's absorbed enough media that he can regurgitate a scene for his stories, but it'll be devoid of any meaning or context. You either trick yourself into thinking it's rich with meaning like that terrible twitter person or you're left spinning in circles wondering what it could possibly mean to these characters. And then Friday rolls around and he's moved on to something else entirely.

The key is to tell Snout your name as early as possible. That prevents the nudity from being required. If you do that, it's optional.

Nope, that's still it.

The months of June, July, and August were spent on a chapter called "The Library Card" in which Snout went to the library and people handed him books. At the end of this we got a recap page, on July 19th:



This has more or less the same information as the infodump literally handed to Snout in the previous chapter, on February 22nd-24th:




The month of September was spent on a car trip on which nothing happens and Snout is bored because nothing is happening and the comic does nothing other than watch Snout being bored.

Then they met a chandak, two weeks ago, and the major development so far is we've learned about her pubic grooming habits.

Again a very likpatous story
We also learned Arudak's dead girlfriend "loved another" which is so vague that it could be orc lady trying to steer him off his quest to revive her by using weasel words, or she really was cheating on him and thus she clearly doesn't deserve to be revived. Either way Arudak is really sad about it.

I don't think that has anything to do with the overarching plot, though.

Or at least I'm pretty sure Arudak got introduced as a narrative cockblock with no notion of who he was or what his motivations were, and at that moment Snout was looking for a specific book and so Arudak was also after the same book. But then Mookie decided that Arudak was going to be a party member instead of an antagonist. And that meant that he needed to come up with a rationale for Arudak caring about Asinotaph and all that poo poo. So suddenly he has a previously-unmentioned long-lost girlfriend he's obsessed with, and his obsession involves Asinotaph in some nebulous way.

The "she loved another" thing could either be pointless drama/an excuse for Mookie to trace more stock photos of people hugging, or it could be how he decided to "complete" Arudak's NPC loyalty quest. In either case I don't think it has anything to do with the Legacy proper, except insofar as Mookie has no more idea what it is than we do and this is all him shuffling his feet while he tries to figure out where to go with it.

I hope so, the experiment in no-dialogue storytelling loving failed and it's long, long since time to bail on it.

Again a very likpatous story
If Mookie does finally get rid of the no dialogue rule I can't wait for him to write a masturbatory post about how it really challenged him as a creator and it helped him to create something deep and meaningful, and since he achieved what he accomplished he decided then there was no need to continue it.

You know, rather than "I got rid of my actual halfway decent ideas in the first few months and then spun my wheels a lot because I'm not good enough to tell a story without dialogue and now I need an out."

SubG posted:

That's the thing, we have no idea if it has anything to do with the overarching plot because we don't even know what the overarching plot is. gently caress for all we know Arudak's girlfriend was one of Luna's magic egg descendants and therefore extremely key to learning about the Legacy of Dominic Deegan.
