Roland Jones posted:Matty was worried that Quigley was going to, and I quote, "kill everyone again" when he was locked up. Quigley's response indicated that it was still a possibility. She's fine, or at least not dead. You don't have an establishing shot like that, especially when everyone else in the room is minus their head, unless the character is still alive.

Murkoph is rubbish, but after the amazing job she did down building up and paying off Stockyard's breakdown I'm more than willing to let Cope have her silly White Wolf reject. I can live with one cartoonish villain when the others are so well fleshed out.

Anyhoo, looking forward to the upcoming fight. The duel between Duane and Quigley was good fun, and now Duane has something more imposing than an anemic, whiny goth to square off against.

The evil silver mound is Duane's boss battle, Starfish is Sette's. Both will be dead by the end of this chapter.

Yeah, I figured that was a deliberate pun, but whatever, like her stupid pet vampire thing Cope has done well enough that she's earned room to put in some dumb stuff for the sake of pure indulgence. Also, Duane needs to get off his rear end. I think this is the first time in the comic that anyone's managed to out monologue him. Fuckin' slacker.

Looking forward to another Duane flashback. While still alive, he was an avatar of flamboyant bombast, and it's always great to watch.

Probably another reason the blood mines go off so slowly. It's horrible enough for the victim sure, but then you've also got the added trauma for all his friends who watch him swell up and burst over the span of several eternal seconds.

That's good stuff. Character building should happen in every scene. Every writer knows this, but it is hard to pull off in practice and Cope did a good job of it here.

I took that more as her criticizing the essentialism that already exists in fiction, and its tendency to run screaming from anything traditionally coded as feminine. That too many stories don't know how to make a woman—or a man for that matter—display strength without grabbing them in toxic masculinity.

A.o.D. posted:I guess that's one way to admit that you have a substance dependancy problem. If I was stuck with a few decades while some of my contemporaries were settling into their second century? Hell yeah, I'd have a substance problem. A whole bunch of 'um. It's a little shocking that most of the Plats we've seen are studious and temperate. I'd expect a lot more ennui or outrage, though I guess their county's indoctrination probably has a lot to do with that. Me? I'd be drunk as a sunk and getting in bullshit mage-duels all over the place like an anime viking-wizard. If the price for having innate access to the universe's cheat-codes is not getting enough time to enjoy it, then I would want to cram as much hedonism as I could into that tiny window.
