I mean there were a shit ton of zeplinns flying all over today.

But sidebar, I want to take the time to say that, while the faces can be/are super weird, I love the background art here. Look at the smearing of the train with those lines. And the fact that the background is drawn with wiggles to show how loud the train was when dropped. That is the shit that I appreciate.

Girl Genius 2

Yeah, so it has been while for this. I know that this isn’t one of the main series, but I do feel bad for leaving it in the middle of the book or however this series is structured. So I decided to at least finish the first book here since I have time.

Last we left, Agatha got kicked out after her maybe uncle went nuts for no reason and ended up killing himself to the dismay of exactly one (1) person while everyone else went “meh”. Now she is going home with the help of werewolf man.

OK! Her dad is like the railroad version of Paul Bunyan. Damn he strong

This is weird to think about, just cause I have nothing to go on as to who/what the spirit is. We know they don’t have to share the same personalities like Isaac and Rain-Cloud. But they could be similar like Isabel and 8-fold.

I have a feeling that spirit Spender has is affecting his eyes somehow. That explains why he is constantly wearing sunglasses, even inside and at night. It could be like a cyclops thing where the spirit is possessing him, giving him ghost laser eyes that he needs the glasses to control. Or the spirit is possessing exactly 1 eye so Spender needs the glasses to cover up. Or the spirit is just possessing the glasses themselves, so easier to carry.

I think that Spender’s spirit is giving him the power to be “extra”, so they are going to be super out there, bubbly to the point of insanity, extravagant. Something like that. And that whatever he “sees”, his powers can bring it to life. Like controlling light to form those spirit shuriken stars.

That is all that I can think of. I don’t have much else to go on.

Troll Rank 8

1. Karkat

2. Vriska

3. Gamzee

4. Terezi

5. Feferi

6. Tavros

7. Nepeta

8. Sollux

9.  Kanaya  

10. Eridan

11. Equius

12. Aradia


More changes to the Troll Rank, due to the last session and the game play. I think seeing them as sprites and interact with each other really did help me majorly adjust my list. Feferi is pretty nice, well balanced, and is a pretty fun party girl. She can adapted to any situation depending on if Karkat, Terezi, or Vriska was talking to her, and is a thinker. Therefore, even though I don’t have much to go for her, she managed to jup up higher on the list.

Sollux’s puns and deadpanness is pretty entertaining, same with Kanaya, but they ended up going lower on the list. Tavros and Nepeta really shined here. They were so cute and adorable and I really do wish that Nepeta gets more screen time eventually, but their reactions managed to get them higher in the list.

Yeah Eridan dropped. A lot. He is very entertaining to read, but as of this moment with Rose…yeah he is just way way too needy for his stupid hate-mate here. Rose is baller. She did the right thing.

And would you look at that, Equius managed to rise in the ranks. His interactions with the other trolls were pretty funny, I can’t lie about that. It still freaks me out, and I was siding so hard with Karkat when the two of them were speaking, but I did have fun reading their bullshit. Plus, Aradia is pretty sad and depressing with her knowledge of “can’t change the future so just accept it” crap. Yeah….she is a bit of a bummer here. So she is back at the bottom, and Equius is number 11. Huzzah.

Part 136 End

So we have one conversation down, three more to go.

So Grandma can take pranking a bit too far, but at least her is still there to help John. And she gets one of those tutorial summoning locket, like in games where you can get the help feature when you need one? That is what I am imaging the locket to be.

Rose and Eridan…yikes and no. I get that Eridan is trying to find his “true hate” but he came off way too strong and stupid on the whole hate thing. Plus, this was like the 1st conversation they had together? You should let the hate occur naturally.

But him getting confused over their blood status based on their text color, I think that is with all of the trolls here. Because if that was the case, then they will think Jade has green blood (which with her plants, it fits), Dave has red blood (duh, human, but whatever), John has blue blood, and Rose has Purple blood. I don’t think the trolls saw any human but Dave bleed, so that would be interesting if they see that ALL humans bleed red, not just Dave.
