Neither Alison nor New Coke are who they once were, but they both long for what they had. I don't want this to end badly, but I fear that it shall.

The more it becomes clear that the time in that house is really important in Allison's and Cio's memories, the more significant it feels that they got there via a time skip, and we never really saw how that life became. I don't mean that as a criticism, it just... seems notable.

She's a single named devil. She's at least as powerful as an Ebon. Hm. Oh that means HIM is still above that because he's nameless.

It’s an idyll, the house they remember can’t be rendered on screen because it can’t exist in the universe of inevitable violence.

also its a SICKASS HOUSE BUILD IN THE SKULL OF A DEAD GOD they're fighting and crying because they will never have a house that is that kind of cool ever again. (except I guess that was Cio's second home built in the skull of a dead god oh well)

Man that is some reverse-Pinhead cenobite level design going on there. It's almost impressive enough to distract me from the Gogs in fruit outfits in the back.

Synthbuttrange posted:She's a single named devil. She's at least as powerful as an Ebon. Hm. I suspect Nukoku is on the same level as HIM because she seemingly broke out of the (imitation of a) mask to become whatever she is now. Maybe she's repeated White Chain's miracle from the devil side and turned herself more human. At the very least it's the will of a powerful unbound devil made manifest.

Presumably Cio's death destroyed the masks and the names that bound her. If that's true then Nukoku's name and mask are things they created and bound themself with. An unbound devil asserting their own identity and will. Add this to the big list of things that are absolutely unheard of in the established setting and thus more evidence of the world trembling under Allison's furious dumbassery.

I wonder what Nukoku thinks about death, whether she can affirm that she's alive, and what she believes is next.

I do like the detail of Allison's torn sleeve showing the wooden arm underneath. Just a tiny little gap in her defenses when she was punching Nukoku away

Abaddon once tweeted that he had something upcoming in the story that we were all going to hate and that we basically just had to bear with him, and I assumed he was referring to killing Cio due to the much-hated "bury your gays" trope.

The only part I have a little bit of trouble with is the whole hierarchy of demons (like, I thought Cio was just gone forever after Incubus wrecked the mask) but that's only because they explained that poo poo so long ago and I'm too lazy to reread it. All I remember is black ones are strong, there's some King Demon Satan around just called HIM, and more names turn you weaker until you become Princess.
