I love the start-of-chapter orb things but other than that the chapter delineation is pretty meaningless and I wish people in general would dwell less on it

Guys, I don't know if you've heard, but I think the pacing's slow!

Animorphs is a legit series that can and does get pretty dark. It's worth going back and reading/rereading, honestly.

I'm a little bit disappointed the new student thinks they're an alien club because it looks like she might just be shuffled off as a joke and it took a long time to get here for this punchline from when Max got the note. I guess she's not blackmailing Max but she's probably not getting into the club if she's a loopy alien-believer either, so still not sure where this is going.

But then I look at Duchovny Spender and I know it was all worth it.

She's a character that's going to stick around. Zach's been pretty upfront about her being one of the characters he's been wanting to introduce for a long time.

i'm sorta surprised zack bothered to explain RJ's origin since it's in their bio and i had assumed every relevant character in the comic was up to speed already.

also scope yung ollie's hair

An origin story as killer as RJ's deserves to be told

Yeah, I was talking about Spender/Garcia. Because it is an extremely fanfic-esque development, even though as pointed out upthread it makes perfect sense.

Why is it 'fanfic-esque'

It didn't come up in here probably because it's still a minefield for goons in general and nobody wanted to fall into that here

The way things are going hijack becoming Dimitri's spirit seems decently likely, and it's also probably likely that the reason Dimitri quit is because his spirit got killed because of something dumb and accidental that the club did

maybe just go ask Zack what pronouns they intended for the character (though again heiress implies she/her bc there's no real reason for the narration to misgender her)

How often has something that looked just for effect in Paranatural ended up important? I don't take a drat thing for granted in this comic.

i think my favorite one of those is when people figured out how the black speech actually designated real words and codebreaked the entire set

Not-Max's conversation with Doorman.

I think the point is that we, the readers, know that bit was real but Mina has no reason to trust any of it (and depending on what she recalls, a lot of reasons to trust none of it)
