KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS: hell yeah, punch that fuckin fish

What is YISUN?
	Mother
	A lie we tell ourselves to have a purpose
	Bliss
	A paradox with no solution
	Father
	A strong female protagonist
	The weakest thing there is and the smallest crawling thing
	Creator
	Everything in this miserable and hellish existence
	A solution with no paradoxes

Alison just admitted she's not ready to be Cio's girlfriend and already they're exploring a whole new level of intimacy. I can't wait to see how this pans out. :allears:

Because there's always someone asking for the alt text; "Never underestimate the cunning of Angels. Don't get me wrong, they don't have more than an ounce of subtelty in their whole bleedin' body. But what they do have will knock you on your feet, mate."

I assume that one of the big problems with the various Demiruges is that they don't have folks around them to talk stuff through. White Chain and Cio seem to be helping Alison to see the changes and try to resolve them, and by so doing change her and themselves.

The Demiruges (despite all the outward growth of power) never actually change. They remain and are static, if not in powers then in personality. I think if anything this comic is trying to show the power that comes from change.

YISUN's favourite student was the Master of Want whose greed and hunger for what others had drove them to constant change.

I know there's a lot to dissect in these panels, but all I can think about is Meti's awesome story in the text. Took a poo poo, killed thirty-five master swordsmen with a piece of driftwood, had clams for dinner.

It's very much that point Tolstoy made that, in a battle of wits, the peasant will beat the scholar, because the peasant is not wracked with confusion and doubt.

I mean of course Musashi said a similar thing but I can't recall the quote nearly as closely.

Hmm, maybe this ties into the main story. Is Slam Dunk about to lose by being distracted by his extensive philosophical musings on the use of raw strength to secure political power?

The rings have fallen. Solar Dude's image of perfection is marred. Drop of blood or no, he is no longer the divine untouchable god-king.
It's just as White Chain said; she didn't have to beat him in order to win.

That being said, could it be that Angel's have a life's mission (to become their true selves) similar to how Devil's are always trying to find their true name?

The comic makes a big fuss that Angel's and devil's are opposites, but we are finding through exploration of the comic that people do not need to pigeonhole themselves into the expectations society places on them, so why should angels and demons?

Demons seek change, to grow and become more than they are.
Angels are static and shun change, convinced of their existing perfection as God's agents.

That is how they are opposed.

Cio and White Chain both reject these stereotypes, Cio in not wanting to become her former Black hued self, and White Chain by embracing change to become better than she is.

Speaking as someone who grew up speaking English as my native tongue, this is all an absolutely fair and correct assessment.

I forget where, but sometime either in high school or college, I heard it said that English doesn't borrow words from other languages, it drags other languages into dark alleys, beats them up, then rifles through their pockets looking for loose grammar.

I'm pretty sure that's from Terry Pratchett. Might be Douglas Adams. Both men who knew and loved their native tongue for the wanton whore that it is.

I could have sworn it was Pratchett (it's got that bite that a lot of his writing does), but apparently it was James Nicoll.

Sometimes it's just nice to have a good, old fashioned, loquacious monologue. No, "I did it thirty-five minutes ago" subversion, no pithy "No Mister Bond, I expect you to die!", just an antagonist laying it all out at length and making sure everyone knows exactly what's going down and why.
