I started following the Cagle Cats twitter account after someone mentioned it here, and Froyo was the one who always jumped in and helped parent the baby foster kittens that Mary repeatedly takes in. That cat did more good for catkind than any other I've known.

Not quite sure if Venom-Tess is referring to herself in the whole or herself and Anemone with that whole "Don't you think we've both [ate enough poo poo]?"

I read it as Gooptessa and Anemone. She doesn't seem to think of herself as a symbiote right now. And she's been doing the "we're not so different, you and I thing," so this would follow from that.

Mostly I'm thinking of this page.

Mary is intent on keeping one of her fosters.

Yeah it was sad. Shouldn't play favorites with kitties but Froyo was the best of the 3 by far IMHO.

Is that going to be a problem for her fostering? I mind that being a thing but I can't remember.

She has two other cats as well - they generally don't seem to mind having new kittens around, and like with this current family she keeps the house cats and fosters separate if necessary.
The late Froyo would even actively mother any foster kittens that came by.

I was meaning her keeping a foster, spcificaly.

I could be misremembering something but I thought I minded it being a policy thing she mentioned.

It's more of an issue when someone fostering adopts their foster and stops fostering because of that, such as due to the house being full or the pets not working well with fosters. This is probably less of an issue with Mary, so she will probably be fine!

Yeah, it happens all the time to the point that there's a term for it ("foster fail"). I don't think her falling into that trap while emotionally vulnerable from the loss of her cat would torch her relationship with her shelter when she's been doing this successfully for years. She also just raised like, $3500 in donations for them after Froyo's passing? I think they wouldn't blink at her adopting a whole litter right now. :v:

In general I think shelters don't mind as long as animals get good homes, but yeah, it can mean a person no longer being able to foster which is bad. But as has been pointed out, not an issue for her.

Shelters generally provide material assistance to people fostering animals for them (pet food, medical care, etc.), with the understanding that you're providing a ongoing service to the shelter (when they don't have room for all the animals they've rescued, or if an animal needs individual training, etc.) , and not just looking to take an animal out on trial period on the shelter's dime before adopting it yourself. Like was said, it's absolutely not going to be an issue in this particular case, but it's something shelters are reasonably wary of.

I suspect Anemone is extremely aware of the deaths involved, and also would like to not have the death toll be ‘everyone, at once.’ Given she’s mentioned it feeling unsustainable before, and asking whether that would let her see the WiW one last time.

Gooptessa is very much not introducing new ideas, she’s just being awful.

So I'm seeing three options here:

- Anemone isn't aware that the Founder is visiting people in their dreams to give them powers, which puts a real dent in how much she actually knows about what's going on
- The girl in the dreams isn't a real person, but a sort of magical construct/echo/shadow of the Founder
- The girl in the dreams isn't the Founder at all but another volunteer just like Anemone is

Man, there's been so much information this chapter.

  • The Founder tried to "get rid of" Goops
  • Goops knows everything the Founder knew until that point
  • Anemone thinks Goopst/Tessa can't have even met her
  • Anemone knows things other people can't, but she doesn't know everything herself
  • They are the Founder's memory tricks
  • Something bad happens if Anemone can't keep herself together
  • The Founder gave up everything to protect something, and this is her city
  • No one meant for things to end up with magical girls fighting monsters forever
  • Part of the Founder is still aware, and suffering

Putting this stuff together I'm getting the feeling Anemone actually doesn't know that the Founder is visiting girls in their dreams to give them powers.

I wonder if the Vedika side of this chapter will end with her mind-reading a monster and we'll get slammed with one more big revelation about them to tie all this off.

There's something a little sad about Vedika joking to herself about alternative magical girl titles, like she's still hoping she can re-imagine herself in a way that might be actually useful.
