Can the ether and the human mind combine to create beings as strong as Mort or myself?

It gets said a lot, but I'll say it again, the art in this comic is fantastic.

That would be the most appropriate thing.

I'm really hoping the whole collective belief retconning the universe thing turns out to be the case. Although Jones said it was a thought experiment though so I'm wondering if she has an alternate hypothesis.

The Avatar Fairy didn't always always exist, but the moment it was asserted that it did, it did.

what if the avatar fairy is in fact a different sort of spirit. perhaps an avatar ghost.

I prefer to think that the Avatar Fairy lives in all of our hearts. You just have to open it up and let it out. Not with obsidian knives, though. That line of experimentation turned out to be a lot of mess for nothing.

Jimmy Jims wanted Jones to be in the school photo, but Surma despises her. This may have to do with the fact that Jones looks and acts like a grown woman, never mind the reality of her nature.

I'm surprised the other kids didn't feel weirder about it.

If belief give birth to the supernatural, are Parley and Smitty gifted with supernatural powers also because of that? Does it make them etheric creatures beings of the etherium? And what exactly is Zimmy?

Belief shapes things and creatures out of the etherium through the afterlife-processing-plant system, but that may not be the only source of extranormal.

This reasoning is possible for forums user idonotlikepeas!
In Zimmy's case, it seems as if she has an exaggerated version of the human effect on the ether. Her beliefs, feelings, and fears give rise to alternate realities which can impinge directly on this one.

It's like One Piece's "haki". She can punch Annie's dad in the face because she believes she can.

I guess that old line about the Court being "Man's endeavor to become God" has taken on a more literal shade of meaning. Cool.

I wonder if this story won't ultimately end with the loss of/separation from the ether. That could get Kat out of whatever dark territory she may or may not be headed into, and solve Annie's "dying from children" issue. Potentially, at least. On the other hand, Mort :smith:

I really hope that doesn't happen. For some reason stories that kill off the magical element at the end just annoy me.

Technically, Annie would die if the world was seperated from the ether, as the fire elemental "seed" inside her keeps her alive, hence why when she has a child she will slowly die as the elemental seed is passed on.

Ehhhhh. That would a) probably utterly destroy humanity as we know it and replace it with something entirely different b) might destroy the universe entirely, since all of the entities created by it have a fair amount of very real power and would probably object to being cut off from realty.

It would probably do whatever works best thematically, because it's magic and can do whatever the author decides.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Figures it'd be available there where Tea-san could get money more directly right after I got mine from some third party. A third party which deemed it appropriate to use the oddest packaging method I've seen for a book so far:



It's like they sealed it inside a piece of cardboard. It was mostly weird due to the size and because it didn't want to fold along the edges.

Do we have a good idea of when volume 4 will come out? Like in the past has there been a decent delay after the comics were up on the site, or should we be basically expecting it a few months after we get between 260~300 more pages from the end of volume 3? Actually I guess that puts us at the end of this arc or maybe the next one if it sticks with the pattern.
