That does raise a bit of a question--if a demon possesses someone, and leaves non-lethally,do they just kind of pop back into control of their body?

SuperHappy posted:Eyy folks, my own li'l comic featuring a demon had a massive website revamp. The latest comic is kinda April Foolsy although that wasn't really the intent. Most importantly, though, I got a new collaborator and she is just so good at things, so we're expecting to do a lot of good this year. Oh hey, I was trying to remember the name of this just the other day. I love Izzy's triangle-speak, it's oddly cheerful. Is it actually some kind of complex cipher, or is it just whatever you feel like drawing in there?

nine-gear crow posted:There's any number of viable possibilities, really: 1) Enid's in her head and the "monster" is actually what's left of her body. 2) Enid became a hosed up amalgam as her head monsterized and rewrote her consciousness like Anima sort of did to Violet (it would explain why she's a little too cavalier to try and literally eat West whole). or 3) Enid's in the body, and is in fact a dead, mute, and blind dullahan now, and her monster's in the head and was able to form its own human-like consciousness by jacking her brain matter as it constituted itself. Until proven otherwise, I'm going to assume that it's a bit of a blend of 1 and 2; that is, Enid is still in her head and ultimately in control of her body and whatnot, but she's wound up a little monster-y in the process. Not quite as jacked up as Violet got, but tweaked just enough not to be too weirded out, and to find the whole situation to be fun. Basically about as 'good' of a turnout as she could hope to get from having her head monster-fied. Also, present page excepted, I think she makes a pretty cute weird-goblin-person.

Also, given that possum lifespan is established as 'frighteningly short', it kind of makes sense that her expectations for dating before marriage are really brief. I mean, it's not guaranteed that Poppy's actually into Kit, but I can see it going either way, really.

It took me a bit to parse that sentence too; he's not saying that he's reading 2003-era Penny Arcade, he's saying he wishes that back in 2003 he had been reading something other than Penny Arcade, because there was so much better out there and he didn't realize it.

I think it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Magic just being magic is great for being generally unobtrusive and just letting you get on with the story. If you need magic to do a Thing, it can do it. But if you go too far with that, conflicts can kind of break down with "why don't they just magic it". Harry Potter is a good example of this approach, in that magic generally does do whatever, but even though it isn't outright stated, theres aspects like how the act of casting a spell is consistent that keeps. It coherent, and allows it to create tension when, say, Harry's wand is knocked across the room. Taking the rigorously defined route, on the other hand, can become very video-gamely if done poorly (looking at you, opening chapter of The Way of Kings), but it helps for making magic itself an integral focus of the story--Brandon Sanderson loves to have some aspect of magic being key to the plot, and it can be fun to try and puzzle out what's going on. It also lets you do Stand battles if you want to, in that your character is using their defined set of tools to overcome their opponent's defined set of tools. You can do some satisfyingly clever stuff if you set your mind to it. Both have pros and cons, and on the whole I think the vague approach generally works better, but I'm a total sucker for defined systems.

Personally, it's really interesting to me to think of humans as being just kind of there mixed in with everyone else. I feel like the way this would usually be done would have humans set apart from the animal people--not necessarily better or worse, but not part of the same group. I'm not entirely sure what it is that Poppy does that sells that aspect so well to me--possibly it's the fact that this is the only human we've ever seen--but the fact that Lila happens to be a human feels about as significant in-universe as the fact that the gatekeeper was a seal. I really dig it.

A.o.D. posted:It's also very nearly the whole explanation for Mary's keyhole. Oh man, I didn't make that connection, that's a good catch. Of course, even though that means we know *what* the keyhole is, we still don't know why Mary would have one. Still, that's a big step forward from "Mary is a robot, maybe?".

Got introduced to Out-of-Placers recently. It's a fun story, good art (the artist makes a concerted effort to improve, too), and some very well thought-out original fantasy races. It's definitely worth a look, I think.

World Famous W posted:As some one who likes Out of Placers as well, might as well warn it's main story is about gender and species transformation (and the one off bonus story under the extras is to) and it is kind of obvious that it is the creator's fetish. The bonus comic was a commission l, I think, but you're not wrong, and the Yinglets are the sort of thing that you're probably going to find a bazillion fursonas for if you look. I think the story being told is still fundamentally enjoyable though. Then again, I've definitely read some real trash in the past, so maybe I just have more tolerance for it.

PMush Perfect posted:Dare I ask? It's not *too* bad, and it's coming from a well-meaning place. It's kind of more of a product of how long the comic's been going that it's as awkward as it is--it may be may own inexperience talking, but I feel like public awareness of trans issues has stepped up by a lot in the past handful of years. It's not great writing, but it's El Goonish Shive what do you really expect.

Yvonmukluk posted:So...are Riley and Scout going to be heading to Tackleford permanently? I mean, the main reason for going to Wales was to keep Tim out of sciencing, and that caravan-turned-into-a-boat has sailed... Whatever the case, it has me feeling really bad for Riley. Before Hard Yards I didn't like her that much, but now I kind of want Tim to fail.

Granted, I haven't been in or near a similar situation in real life or anything but... shouldn't Tim be doing something to actually address the problem here? Outside the looming threat of Pa Beckwith, he seems pretty content to just work in a startup, live with Shelley, and be more or less completely absent from his daughter's life. Even before the affair with Shelley, he didn't seem that sad about just loving off to live in the woods, talking to nobody.

He is 100% assigning her the majority of the blame and acting like he was just innocently suckered in. He's not wrong about Shelley's particular flaws, but he's actively avoiding any kind of real introspection here. He always had a choice in the matter, and what he chose was to cheat on his wife.

amigolupus posted:To add to that, he got banished because he took the blame for Scout messing with his invention. It's kind of...amazing that the one time he actually took responsibility for something, it all spiraled down into this mess. I'm not quite convinced it's as altruistic as that. Someone on the facebook thread posted--and I'm inclined to agree--that he kind of wanted to be out of that entire situation, and took the opportunity to leave without needing to explain anything. He kind of declared "If Riley knew that Scout did a dumb thing as a 6-year-old, it would forever darken their relationship and that would be bad for Scout", and instead left to live in the forest inventing stuff (eventually destroying said forest)/shacking up with gorgeous rich ladyfriend-with-benefits, without really making an effort to go back. He's just been avoiding making any real decisions. When Riley separated him from his previous life (which is pretty drat inexcusable, don't get me wrong, Riley is absolutely at fault for that), he went along with it because that was easier than confronting her about it, and this is kind of more of the same.
