I'd like to point out that we've also never seen Stanley in a situation where he's being serious in combat? Even when he was ambushed on the way to Faq, he was distracted by Jack. It's possible we've just never seen him in a mood that's the right combination of creative and pissed off to break out the real powers. Or maybe he just thinks the other powers are dumb/useless and never even mentions them.

I, too, question why these orders couldn't have been shouted WHILE the Archons stormed the Magic Kingdom. It feels like a text update, except with none of the world building.

Book 2 felt a little weird when reading it at update speed, but it held together a lot better reading it all at once. I'm hoping this is going to be the same way, but at the same time, I'm not holding my breath. The composition has been pretty spotty in places. This page gets the comic treatment, but Parson changing sides happens in a single panel without so much as a visual effect? I dunno.

Basically, Parson is the closest thing Erfworld's ever seen to an eldritch abomination. He breaks the laws of the world even just by existing.

However Parson gets out of this is going to be either an amazing, gently caress-yeah twist, or a complete Deus Ex Machina. ...how many of the Juggle Elves are casters, do you think?

Yeah, but it's close enough that the Great Minds having some Thinkamancers with a minor in Foolamancy is pretty reasonable. I totally forgot about that.

I'm kinda hyped to finally see the payoff for all this build-up about the Juggle Elves. References aside, the concept of a tribe of elves outcast from the other groups is actually pretty neat.

I think a person's reaction to that line is generally decided by if they heard about it through cultural osmosis before they saw the movie or not. First impressions are important.

That was actually a pretty brilliant lie by Parson, all things considered. Wonder if he came up with it on the fly, or if it had been planned?

Charlie's real strength seems to be making it look like whatever happened was his plan all along, and his plans look like coincidence. Makes sense for a Carnymancer, but it also casts a lot of background stuff in a very different light. Say, Stanley just happening to come across dozens of dwagons on the way to FAQ.

If you ask me, Don King is trying to figure out what he personally did wrong to lose his best friend, and is apparently chasing down the idea that if he'd just been more loyal to the Royal sides, none of this would have happened. He's a Royalist now, not because he believes the rhetoric (though he tells himself he does), but because he's still blaming himself for what happened, but is too afraid to actually accept the consequences. Essentially, he's convinced himself that the Titans are making all this happen just to personally punish him.

Not that we needed confirmation that Charlie is a Carny, but it's kind of interesting to see how he takes different tones with different people.

Either he does know, and hasn't cared enough to changed it, or the ErfWorld forums, for all their pedantry, have a terrible grasp of the big picture and nobody there noticed before Carrasco did. Neither would surprise me.

Holy poo poo, Parson, that's  as hell.This chapter is finally getting to the things about Erfworld that I love. Getting us to internalize these rules, and take them for granted, and then turn them inside-loving-out. Edit poo poo, hang on.

I'm still hoping that the whole Arkenshoes thing is a lie, a bluff, or just a partial truth, because compared to the other Tools, the shoes are just kinda... boring. "Not every smart plan is a good one." Nice turn of phrase, Wanda. Actually sounds like something he might say.
