habeasdorkus posted:I know I've been wrong repeatedly in thinking that various demiurges don't know something, which is why I could be wrong about what Gog meant by saying she'd be fine. They're still fallible, but generally if they say something is true it ends up being true. I would be very surprised if Gog Agog knew about Zoss spinning the wheel, mostly because I think she’d have mentioned Zoss even once if she knew about it.

I wonder if Gog is talking about hating the other Demiurges or hating everything non worm in general. Like she is having her own "Agent Smith talks about smellz to Morpheus" moment.

I love herrrrrrrrrrrrr So much good art on this page. The extremely gay dance. The extremely unnerving shot of Gog-Agog's face lit from behind after Allison asks how many times it's been reset - dead, joyless eyes and smile. The spotlight overhead, blinding, so blinding it erases the marks on Gog's face to the point that she goes from looking inhuman and unfocused to startlingly sober and beautiful. Gazing into the light unflinching, even as Allison squints away from it. Also yeah I feel like the answer is Gog. Now to just convince her to do it again.

Gog always has the best faces. Which is only fair, she's been working on them for so long. Now I'm kind of curious if that old OG design of Gog-agog is actually canonical, but just so far back in the series of resets that nobody in the current timeline would recognize her.

You wonder if she goes through a little effort like that every few cycles just on the off chance that something different might happen. Her "deflated" response to Mottom becomes less about how insulted she feels than just, "Welp, nothing new this time either"

The single most sinister thing right now isn't the implication in the other text that she's truly immortal, that we may now have to ask what form she had beforehand (is "this form" the worms or the simulacrum of a woman?) or even that Jadis is omniscient and didn't need to be colossal multiverse-spanning mass to know literally everything, so just how much does Gog know if she does. It's that font in Gog Agog's speech bubbles, without it being an impression.

Yessss, I thought so Though, with her becoming this ideal blonde figure given Allison’s body image history and everything else, and the way they’re mirroring each other now slightly - Gog and her facial markings vs Allison’s scars, the matching lipstick - and the contrast of “guess I’m dying who gives a poo poo” yolo vs “i’ve decided not to die and become infinite because gently caress you god” I def think Gog was the first.

It's that font in Gog Agog's speech bubbles, without it being an impression. Jadis used magic to see everything that's ever happened, is happening, will ever happen, at the same time, and it broke her. Gog stores everything that's ever happened to her in her worm memory bank. The resets must have started some time after Gog was already a huge mass of worms, to have enough memory to actually remember stuff. Unless she gains new memories as she creates more storage.

Gog was the premier demiurge in the beginning, but gradually became more and more erratic under the weight of all the memory she's retained. Dave picked up the leadership role in later cycles and the others stopped respecting her because she's oh so crazy. But Gog remembers. And she holds a grudge.

It's that font in Gog Agog's speech bubbles, without it being an impression. I think we might not have touched on it during Jadis-chat, but it's likely she's only omniscient as far as the current spin goes. As far as she's aware, the world ends. Zoss spinning everything back (like a giant pencil in the cassette tape of reality) is from outside the wheel, so she doesn't know that's happening and maybe, due to her circumstances, is unable of becoming aware of it.

Yeah, that's my take. Jadis knows everything, past and future, of THIS cycle. Gog has memory of all the past cycles, but not the future. Note how no one so far seems to know how it STARTED, however.
