If the new normal for The Legacy is an infuriating slog occasionally punctuated by the most repulsive sex you've ever seen it might just kill me.

So... He had a breakthrough? But that breakthrough... Hit challenges. So... it wasn't a breakthrough. We don't even know what this "breakthrough" was supposed to be and it's already negated.

Now he gets to research a new dream symbol, three lines at a slight angle! He'll read about it in a book and probably gently caress someone else and somehow overcome it by being a good soft boy who did another Big Lad Cummy, and everyone will dote on him and tell him how great a job he did mashing his hips around while being kind to his friends and being very curious. Then he'll ascend to the asinotaph and dominic will tell him what a good boy he is.

If only there were any way for the reader to know what Snout was thinking without having to dedicate a page to him writing about it in his journal afterward.

Haven't we already seen three diagonal lines before? So many details just keep dripping out of my brain and I don't want to go back and look.

I hate that my brain just files away this information instead of jettisoning it like it should, but: that is the symbol for challenges. I think Mookie thinks this counts as foreshadowing.

These are the same symbols and the same vision, shown to Snout by the same witch, within the same chapter.

It's three lines because he has three friends. By trying to call it like this, I'm probably cursing it to be even dumber than I could imagine.

Just endlessly hitting his protagonist with the symbol "Warning - Challenges Ahead!" to mask there will never be any actual challenges.

All I can tell is that Snout needs to overcome and complete these challenges by having sex with all of his friends: Ink Mom, Arudak, Dead Mom and Bort.

BattleMaster posted:snout's model is in the same place the story's planning is Snout spends the most time "on camera" and so it's most pronounced there, but it happens with all the characters. They're likely to look the same if they're using one of their standard expressions, but whenever they have to emote something other than generic doting (on Snout) the more likely they are to veer wildly off-model:    The only one where Ink Witch looks completely on-model is the one where she's making making eyes at Snout. I remember seeing a design document from one of the Telltale Sam & Max games where the game designers had given their first draft of the 3d models of Sam & Max to Steve Purcell and he'd made comments, and there was a lot of stuff like the aspect ratio of the tie and anatomy details like where Sam's ears attach to his head and how his mouth is connected to his nose/muzzle. Which is to say that Purcell has worked out not just how his characters look in a specific pose and with a specific expression, but how their parts are all put together and how they behave when the characters move. Mookie really, really clearly doesn't have this kind of understanding of any of his designs, and whenever his characters have to do something that they haven't done before it's a total loving crapshoot how it'll turn out.

You know, in a better comic, showing symbols in an innocuous manner, only too reveal later that they are in fact deeply important could actually be really fun. Have something big happen when they show up, moments where the story shifts gears or characters change and grow in a major way, stuff like that. That way your audience is constantly on the lookout for them, and discussing what they mean and predicting what will happen when they show up. But it's been like two years since they were shown, and two of them keep popping up all over the place and nothing has happened. It's like Mookie is desperately foreshadowing some vague plot idea he has, but has no clue how the hell he's going to get too it. Also the challenge symbol is hilarious, the biggest challenge Snout has faced is the time he felt useless, and he overcame this by moping around until someone gave him a pat on the head and called him a good boy. Or his other biggest challenge, where someone called him useless and he overcame this by moping around until someone gave him a pat on the head and called him a good boy. Though I have to say "You will be remembered more for your kindness than your learning" is one of the best stealth burns ever.

I'm not just marveling at the fact that, except for the unspecified breakthrough (which might not even exist) Snout is literally at the same point he was since he saw those three symbols in the water when the ship crashed. The only knowledge he has is that there are those three symbols, no interpretation has popped up other than the word "Luna" (which he ALSO already knew). What was the point of banging the bog witch??? Did that actually accomplish anything, or did he really just want some unwashed strange and that's it?

God it's such a broken understanding of mysticism. No, the symbols you experience are totally the entirety of the everything. You have a dream that shows you the words "ORDER" "RENEWAL" and then you read a book and it says "if you dream about these words, you're dreaming about these things. This is good." Then you go and gently caress a random stranger and have a vision where you see those symbols and it's a breakthrough because THIS time it's... this time it's... it's the words "ORDER" and "RENEWAL" but you remembered what they meant. But now the word "CHALLENGE" shows up! Oh no! It represents itself. Snout must overcome the challenge of the word "CHALLENGE" so he can reach "ENLIGHTENMENT," which is the word ENLIGHTENMENT. Once he reads the word ENLIGHTENMENT he'll become enlightened, which is the state of being able to read the word ENLIGHTENMENT.

One is wearing pants As Directed, the other is barely holding his up, same height.

It just hit me that Mookie felt no need to explain the survival of an open-air library, but did feel the need to provide a silly explanation for how books kept inside of a building were preserved.

According to Mookie's blog entry, "The sex is the point". His previous entry was about the extended travelling sequence "The boredom is the point". I don't think he noticed the irony, but I feel like those titles sum up the comic pretty well.

Hah I forgot about that. It'll be pretty funny if we're right about the sex magic thing, effectively making that title a lie. Between the horns sprouting and Snouts dream, I'm not sure what else we're supposed to take from it.

So now that Snout has learned that sex feels good AND causes magic visions, his next move is gonna be having sex with Ink Witch and Corpsemom (not Arudak, because I don't believe Mookie would ever draw a gay sex scene). He'll get new visions that ?????? and also make everyone happy again because he's a nice, soft boy who's good at sex.
