What a time for Alison to not choose violence :(

Not that I think would have ultimately helped in this case.

are you saying that if she wanted to save the mouse she should have been prepared to strike down incubus with every ounce of her strength

He's on twitter pretty much explicitly calling out fridging tropes at this moment, so yeah, probably gonna get some real neat-o key magic shortly.

Probably going to take quite a bit longer than that - I assume Allison is going to make some very bad decisions under the assumption this is permanent first. Maybe it'll be White Chain who fixes her? Or maybe she'll fix herself, transcending the Hot Black Flame just like WC transcended the Cold White one, clinging to her identity despite losing her mask.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Not sure if "please trust me w/ the storytelling going forward to not indulge in typical tropes" should be read as "please trust that I will bring her back eventually" or "please trust that I am choosing to write the story this way regardless of existing tropes because I feel like the story I've created still has value regardless of the social reasons for this particular pattern," and I would be fine with either, tbh.

there’s lots of things i hold in lower regard to be sure but i will say people who have formed their entire concept of critical literary and media analysis by binge reading tv tropes are pretty far down there and abaddon has nothing to be contrite for on their behalf

I'm fine with a "trope" happening if there's a drat good reason for it, story-wise

I'm not fine with it when it's purely for shock value

I'm pretty confident Abaddon is doing the former.

I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

I like how Incubus has probably succeeded in what he wanted to do, in the sense that this will almost certainly catalyze some serious change in Allison and lead to her harnessing the Master Key to go fully Super Saiyan

He's also completely hosed

she was put out to pasture when her role in the story became "Allison's edgy girlfriend". she became a non-entity.

but you don't have to give my opinion any weight i suppose
