my thoughts on that one character we're putting in spoilers me reading the comic: no body, ambiguous magic powers, yeah this is a bait-and-switch, Cass's coming back me reading the author's comments on twitter/patreon: oh wow Cass's actually loving dead me thinking too much about the author's comments on twitter/patreon: she's being really flip about this honestly pretty grim event while sidestepping direct 'she ded y/n?' questions, there has to be some sort of twist, right? in short, comic good and i genuinely have no idea what the answers to any of the current mysteries are gonna be

Sundae posted:I don't buy that she's dead. Not sure what else the alternative is, but her ability was "kill one image, the other becomes the real one" and both were still images and got killed at the same time while fighting. No body left behind (that we've been shown yet, at least), and Goops was surprised by the outcome too. (Or was she more surprised to have lost an eye?) *or 'just' dead, feels like the setting has room for in-between states Anyway:

I like that it's happened now, when we're at most mid-way through the story (and probably a bit less) - obviously other recent events are gonna distract from it for a while, but it still leaves plenty of room to show the actual relationship instead of the genre trope of: confess feelings -> defeat big bad -> smooch -> the end

Sundae posted:I'm curious what the mouseover text on her death page is about. "Take this promise to the end of you." I saw this thread yesterday and ended up binge-reading all fifteen chapters Mary/Cube's said a couple of times that this is a big Cassidy Mood song. Dunno if it goes any deeper than that.

Niton posted:Re: second part: Honestly, I can see it happening, but certainly not permadeath. After all, "Heartless Punch" is right there for a temporary corruption arc!    For real though, if Cube's spent five years building up to a canonical gay protagonist couple and then murks one of them, I'll be more surprised than I've ever been by any work of fiction before.

I think Cube's more-or-less confirmed 'dead' at this point, there's just enough hinkiness in the set-up and even the comments today that still make me wonder if that doesn't necessarily equal 'gone'.

Roland Jones posted:I'm kind of curious what the people who thinks she's not dead think happened instead. The only thing that still gives me pause about agreeing 'yeah, dead, gone, can't argue with that' is that if I was someone who just read the comic by itself and didn't know anything about the creator's social media or meta comments, then a death scene where both clone bodies disintegrate leaving no trace, when it was deliberately unexplained where her meat body goes or where her actual consciousness is when the clones are out, followed by the villain going 'huh, that sure was odd wasn't it?' and then the knowing-but-not-entirely-omniscient narrator being 'yes that was very unusual, but let me say that i can't sense the character's presence anymore, so you the reader should certainly assume that they no longer exist' would be a big flashing siren that there was more to it than the face value. But then Cube's always up front that she hates a lot of common tropes and is always willing to kill characters when she thinks it's necessary, so...

Wittgen posted:I don't think it's fair to read the comic as saying either Cassidy or Team Alchemical deserved their fates. I think overall I'm in pretty much in the same (Slow)boat as Joe, in that if that last scene was just the end of Cass, full stop, and if the post-mortem shakes out that way, I'd be disappointed. But that's getting ahead of ourselves and supposing a lot of ifs, which isn't really fair at this point but I guess is a peril of getting invested in a slowly-updating ongoing work that you consume as it comes out.

Next chapter, a new transfer student arrives, taking Cassidy's place in the class and eventually the training club too.  No-one comments on the resemblance, and it's never explained.

a computing pun posted:I forget: do we know anything about the population dynamics of magical girls in the SD city? in particular, how many people are magical girls? it seems like a relatively small number, maybe less than one in a hundred girls of the appropriate age, but has it ever been stated?

Alternatively: it's a No Barts Allowed situation, we can have one monster made from a dead magical girl (as a treat).
