It's such an arbitrary text choice it makes me wonder if it's actually seaweed. What if the orcs are murdering plant men and flavoring them with seaweed as a snack? That could actually be interesting.

I did briefly wonder if maybe it's supposed to not actually be seaweed, but something else that's seaweed flavored, but what else could it be? Rice crackers, maybe? Maybe it's like the reverse of veggie burgers flavored to taste like meat and now we have beef jerky flavored to taste like seaweed?

Now I'm just imagining fake seaweed food products named like those generic I Can't Believe It's Not Butter brands.

I mean, you know it's seaweed; Mookie's a weeb, they eat sheets of nori like they eat pocky. Like mavpel, he just brought it in without changing anything.

That's interesting, so you think it's like fruit leather or cactus candy?

the punchline is "snout like vegan food" for the 5th time as if he isn't familiar with the ork cuisine that is now exclusively his diet

he is curious and kind, so he doesn't inquire to learn anything about this special gift and eats it immediately without offering her any

corpsemom has existed for a week and is already socially aware enough to be upset by snout's behaviour

snout is.... a really problematic portrayal of disability. i know it's meant to be comedy but this keeps happening

Yeah, this comic by a deaf author would be so much better, just from understanding the deaf experience isn't being a giant toddler. Mookie also can't really have snout interact with another deaf person, because that would just compile the issues. Is this a world where all deaf people write in books to communicate? Would snout feel embarrassed if he met, and couldn't communicate with, a deaf person who signs? Would he realize how weird and paternalistic his companions after making some deaf friends? Is there a language split between deaf magic users and non magic users? Do the signs for things like eat and food change differ between orc and callanian or whatever because of the diet difference?

Oh my GOD, DO SOMETHING, FUCKS SAKE

I took a break from this after Oily Swamp Hag Sex Fest and now I've caught up and NOTHING. NOTHING. Reading it all at once is the same as reading it mon/wed/fri, the pace does not improve.

At this point, I genuinely don't get why he doesn't stop for a few weeks, hell, a month or two, map out what's happened so far (ha ha, yeah) and where it needs to go now. Like, actually plan ahead and have something to build towards. But no, he wants to be "surprised". In other words, he's too lazy. Except this laziness is just going to lead to more work unsticking himself from the muddy morass the story's bogged down in.

I get laziness in writing, I really do. I've sat on stories I've had mapped out in my head for years, never bothering to put pen to paper/fingers to keyboard in any meaningful way. The key difference is, I always had a PLAN. Sometimes vague, sometimes solid, but I had the structure, a beginning, middle and end in most cases. I cannot imagine just "letting the characters surprise me" or whatever, because I know it'd lead to poo poo nonsense like this. I'll credit him for putting pen to paper, that's it, even if he's copy pasting like mad. But beyond that, he might as well not have bothered, because as I said, NOTHING.

He could stop the story right here on this stupid, boneheaded, unfunny page and it'd be an entirely appropriate ending.

The gently caress is going on with the box in panel three? Did he just forget to draw part it of it? It looks like there’s a side missing. Where is the Ink Witch? Did the White Void take her? When did the books Snout was carrying change hands?

Why am I still reading this?

Hha! Vegan food good! Eat vegan food! Raw vegetable! I am a wild animal!

Do you think all this is foreshadowing that Snout isn't a mongrelman or that mongrelmen just can't help themselves around stimulus and turn into wild animals that exist to gently caress or feast and it'll be a plot point in thirty years when something actually happens and Snout sees a Girl and he drops everything to do Big Boy Cummies and it actually causes problems or he sees lots of Food and goes "om nom, veggie yummies? i'm a good vegan boy, time to eat!" and it causes problems

because like this could all almost work as foreshadowing for that, if not for every time Snout does anything that might put the blame of doing anything wrong or inappropriate on him, everyone bends over backwards to tell Mookie Snout that he's a good boy, who can't do any wrong, and we all want you to sleep naked on top of us and wander off and gently caress strangers at cons and also just eat food like a wild animal, that's such a good job Snout, good boy! Good boy!


oh gently caress that's it isn't it. Legacy has just become Mookie's comfort corner self indulgence world. He is really horny lately so Snout gonna gently caress. He want a nice snack, mmm tasty vegan good boy treats. Lonely? Cuddle time cuddle time Mookie gets cuddle time! Covid has him lonely and frustrated and this is just 100% sublimation and he doesn't want to advance the plot because time in real life isn't advancing really, so time stagnates and everything just goes on a loop. The comic really started spinning its wheels when Covid hit, didn't it? It's a Dorian Gray kind of thing, the more Mookie's life stagnates and his social needs go unmet, the more Snout will spend all his time hanging out going fishing, being told he's a good soft gentle boy, getting glomps and cuddles, and blowing fat loads in cosplay girls witches he met at the con swamp.

Yup. Every page just seems to be manufactured to try and elicit responses on Twitter from people going "awwww Snout is such a GOOD PERSON" etc. Any plot that might eventually develop is entirely secondary to this. What's very sad is that he rarely gets any more than one or two comments at all, as his Twitter engagement is miniscule despite his efforts.

I think you're right about the COVID thing too. The Mongreltown arc ended August 2020 and nothing has really happened since.

I get this icky feeling from how often we're shown Snout stuffing his face. It bothers me that we haven't seen him NOT like anything, but he's always doubtful that he'll like what he's being offered at first. And it just smacks of praising a toddler for trying new foods

I remain convinced that he was embarrassed by trying to talk to a deaf person once (probably back in highschool) and "thinks it would be nice" if they wore a tag like Snout.

I don't have twitter so I'm never going to talk with him, but if I could ask him one question it would be "why do you think that having Snout sew [Deaf] onto all of his clothing is a good idea?"

Yeah, the "plot" we've taking some time off from here is that Snout has "discovered", for wont of a better word, that Luna is connected to Dominic. Which he's "discovered" like a half dozen times now, and I'd be willing to bet literally every reader of Legacy knew going in. And as near as I can tell the only "conflict"...sorry, "challenges"...facing Snout in learning more about this fantastically prosaic and apparently well-documented fact is that he keeps not bothering to do literally anything to find out more about the subject.

This is another one of those ones where the questions start mounting the more I look at it. They're not questions of intrigue, they're questions of incoherence.

What the hell is Corpsemom doing in that first panel? Aerobics? Catching butterflies? Trying to hail a taxi? Did he just turn his head and welp, there she is, doing the dance from Saturday Night Fever? Are we even still on the little jetty? Has there been a time jump and they're elsewhere now?

I feel like he was still at least trying to be faux medieval in the original even with his stupid things like electric guitars

She's waving. When you want to get someone's attention, you call their name and wave, so when they hear you and turn around, they will see who called them. What do you mean, this doesn't work with a Deaf person? Why not? When Mookie hears someone yell his name, he looks around and sees the person, so that's how it works for Snout! Also, Mookie knew Corpse Mommy wanted to give Snout a treat, so Snout knew he had to turn around!

FlocksOfMice posted:

Like I used to read bad fanfiction as a hobby, and even in THOSE, there would still be an attempt at telling stories. Even in the most meandering pieces of garbage, where the story would derail every time the author played a new videogame and everything would shift to make room for, say, oh I just played metro202x it's time for the characters to suddenly explore a ghost-filled underground despite it making no sense--even in THAT there would still be SOMEthing.

It isn't indulgent enough to be porn. It isn't experimental enough to be him trying out new things. He draws things OTHER than this--if this was ALL he drew and it varied wildly as his attention bounced around that'd be one thing, but he draws porn in his spare time. Why did this suddenly turn into porn with no context or explanation other than a post-gently caress retcon of "haha i turn into a satyr and gently caress girls constantly actually." Why are half the pages recaps? Why does he keep insisting there's a plot and circles it? Like. There's two plot points he has but he feels like it's too early to get to them so he has to... stall? By just circling over and over again?

I've never even SEEN this before. I can't understand this. Other things have this beat in "worst thing Ive experienced" because ultimately you could binge this in an hour and I've read million-word long fanfictions out of some desperate self-harm need but length aside this is legitimately one of the worst stories I've ever experienced in my entire life and it's baffling.

I so want to touch the poop because the absolute impossibility of accidentally CREATING this is mindblowing. How do you do this bad and NOT do it on purpose??

This makes me want to read Trapped In A Island With Josh Hutcherson again. At least the twists in that were mindblowing, even if they weren't good! Who could possibly expect an EXPLICIT self-insert to appear and displace the non-explicit self-insert? it's like masturbatory inception!
