Honestly, it's true that this kind of scene can easily get self-indulgent but I feel like the double fake-out is a decently clever mean of creating distance. And the comic literally started with a sex scene, it's not like depicting or alluding to it was ever off the table.

All of the Demiurges are Psychic types, with secondary ones such as Fighting, Dragon, Grass, Ice, Steel and Bug. Incubus is the only pure Psychic, though he's got Fairy moves on account of being Jareth.

One important detail about Jadis is that not only did Abbadon said her prophecies are never wrong, Mottom said it as well. Presumably Jadis's been doing this for a while, so if the translator was unreliable and could be tripped up by something as basic as the gender of the Successor, Mottom would probably be aware of this. This implies that the translation wasn't a mistake: something much fishier is going on with the prophecy. Solomon also mentions the prophecy of the Successor earlier, which means they've heard a variation of it a while ago, though perhaps without as many details.

Yeah, I think the flashbacks just have some mistakes/things that were retconned in their chronology. It happens.

OTOH I'm fairly certain the twist regarding the Successor has been planned for a while, it's too central to the plot. And both Jadis and Zoss are known to have ulterior motives, so that leaves a lot of room to coin an eventual explanation.

:laffo: though if it's just Alice-Un being taken as masculine and the entire thing was Grammar 101.

I wonder if she still has designs on forcibly installing Allison as a replacement...

One thing I'm still unclear on is what was Mottom's plan regarding Allison. Be a power-behind-the-throne kinda type? She asked Allison to take over her whole kingdom, but she's still afraid to die, so was her plan for Allison to do all the hard work of governing while she spends the rest of eternity munching on fruits in her (now Allison's) backyard?

YaketySass
Jan 15, 2019

The problem is the entire plan rests on Allison not eventually murdering her or robbing her of her only known mean of immortality and that seems, uh, optimistic by Mottom's standards, who's had ample experience getting to see what being a paranoid godlike tyrant does to a person. But I guess she really was that desperate.

Could be there's a bit of a deeply buried subconscious death wish too in how sick of everything she's grown.

It just gotta be that Allison moved down that McDonald's triangle from the start of the story onward.

Regarding Gog-Agog: I doubt that whatever reasons she has to be pissed off about the others do not run deeper and older than all that destructive showmanship. She is Envy, after all.

Solomon is pretty much a masculine foil to Mottom's pressure to always perform youth, beauty and indulgence, I believe. Different hyper-rigid gender roles.

Appropriately enough Mottom is acutely aware of what she's doing and justify it as a survival strategy, while Solomon seems to not be entirely conscious he's doing it and believes he's simply doing everyone else a favor by being this awesome.

I wonder if one of his dumb sons tried to rules lawyer him by showing up in the arena and just pricked their hand with a needle saying ‘I’ve spilled a drop of your blood, dad’ :smug:

The only reason that doesn't happen is because Solomon empties them of blood before they get the chance to do it themselves.

It's indeed curious that neither Meti nor Maya could take Meti's advice and open a noodle shop or anything else.
