Let's do the space-time warp again!

I hope this satisfies the segment of people who were unhappy about Alison and Cio's make up in the Vault. Clearly it's not going to be that simple.

Once you understand that virginity isn't real, you lose it to yourself. Now you are beginning to embrace royalty.

I had faith that Abaddon wasn't just going to throw them into a cheap, unearned romance when there was never any reason to believe that Allison was even remotely attracted to Cio. It was all Cio being a creepy "nice guy" stalker. Now she's mad about carrying a printer for her.

I think you're gonna be disappointed if you think this is like, the end of it period as opposed to a story that is very familiar to queer people that spent awhile being in denial.

This has nothing to do with Allison being gay or not, and everything to do with Cio being a terrible person and Allison having never expressed any romantic interest in her.

Like, I think if Allison was gay it would probably be for Nyave, but again she hasn't shown any interest in her. The only person she's shown any interest in at all is Zaid, and even that's barely a footnote. She might as well be a nun for now.

She has expressed more interest in Cio than in Zaid given that she expressed negative interest in Zaid in the brief time they were together, even if you think there hasn't been anything between her and Cio.

And on that, well, I disagree that there hasn't been anything. But hey we'll see.

Allison isn't really that into Zaid. She's guilt-tripped-heroined herself to get him out of this mess.

Lets not forget the three pages of extremely awkward 'trying to lose her virginity' that started us off on this adventure:




I shouldn't even need to compare that to Allison/Cio's "Delirium" kiss.


Her story very much reads like a lot of queer-tone fiction where the in-denial prog tries to cure/fix themselves into heterosexuality by just doing it, gets embarrassed, angry, confrontational, and eventually admits they, yes, do actually feel something for that one person they've been ignoring/scorning in an effort to keep the truth at bay.

Of course Allison could turn out to be bi or asexual or something. Story isn't over or fully written yet.

Fister Roboto
Feb 21, 2008


Well yeah that's why I said it's barely a footnote.

Also as awkward as the opening scene with Zaid is, keep in mind that Allison was on the verge of passing out when Cio kissed her. That's super skeevy.

If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.


Allison is on the verge of passing out like 90% of the time she exists.

So, when is Allison going to admit to having made a deal with Incubus? That seems like a pretty huge part of why she's spent most of this book being a selfish dumbass. Even if Incubus just brought out her worst qualities, there was still a supernatural factor at work.

Of course, one could make a strong argument that Allison is still at fault for agreeing to that deal in the first place, which I fully expect Cio to do if/when the truth ever comes out.

Cio is Always Horny, but also was explicitly trying to get away from the whole "thief queen" thing when Allison dragged her back into it. I think the readings of "tha used me" are a touch too unsympathetic.

I mean, Cio also leaps to the conclusion of 'you're trying to save your boyfriend' without considering that trying to save an innocent dude, even if you think he's kind of a jerk, is probably the right thing to do, and something a Raging Dumbass like Allison would go for.

Do you think it would have been the right thing to do if it worked?

Edit: Also, "prison" implies he committed a crime. They killed like three thousand people in an attempt to rescue a kidnapping victim.

I'm sure there's at least a few laws on one of the demiurges' books Zaid's in violation of. Maybe one of the priests of the counts' lesser duties is as metaversal ICE.
