Hey look, now I have a colorized version

Insert Thomas the Tank Engine music here

Well at least your powers are working, good to know right

At least you are awake, that has to count for something

Max didn’t need to comfort her like that, or brush it off to placate her worries. That is kind of him.

To make you feel better B.L., I think it was the snake that knocked him out in the first place, not you.

Max asking the real questions, and B.L. surprisingly gives a human answer.

So inception then

I think that would be me

Yeah, because you’re about to be hit by a train.

What you don’t want to look like business Jeffie from Family Circus? You know Merle would jump at the chance to wear that.

The more people try, the more likely you are successful.

I like this phrase. I’m adding this to my quote book.

The other spirit that is possessing you. Nothing to worry about

You know, you have to love Max sticking to his principles here, even with BL looking away from him with her eyeball flashlight

Paranatural 18

Previously on

Max found himself face to face with his snake spirit, who he accidently enraged. When he fell off the train, he sees a memory of his mother and meets the Paranatural Activity Consortium leader B.L. She offers to remove the parasitic snake grunge-spirit, and for Max to assist the incoming internal investigation officer, both of which Max declines, due to a lack of trust for her.

Now the finish up their meeting inside Max’s mind.

ok…this is weird. Because I went back and checked, and you’re right. He had his eyes closed when he was on the train and then whacked the snake.

I was like, nah…this isn’t a thing right? So I went back to the first time where he saw the snake, ALL the way in chapter 2, and he ALSO had his eyes closed then. And that was when he didn’t have an idea of the Spirit-state at all.

So Max is able to immediately and unintentionally go into the second layer on his own without any assistance.

But with his eyes closed, we still don’t know if he is using the regular powers the other spectrals used to get into this form, or if there is something else going on.

I forgot that the bat was considered one. I think for the bat, because it was able to terrorize the other ghosts it was able to generate the fear it needed to gather and feed on to be stronger. I mean, if a bat could eat you I would be scared too.

But yeah, I believe that negative emotions can come from animals, but not like a normal “survival” type of death, like that of flies. To me, the negative emotions have to result from a curse. From something like all of the pain and suffering and torment that a creature went through before it died. A good example of what could be an animal “grunge” is something like massive animal experimentation, to the point where the spirit decides to get revenge. 

A great example would come from an anime called “The Ancient Magus’s Bride” where the focus is on cats. Won’t give too much away there, but it is beautiful animation and would recommend for people to check out.

Yeah Vriska fucked up my most of my ranking here. Thanks a lot for that.

Don’t get me wrong, I love her story line, I love her character development, I love her cocky attitude and her badass leanings.

But if I saw her in person I would be terrified. She is nuts! Recklessness, rash, evil villain vibes. She is someone I would be afraid to be friends with (and rightly so) so I feel like, if this was real life Vriska, she would be ranked lower. For my own good.

And because she moved lower, everyone else got jumbled up. Feferi and Gamzee seem like my kind of crowd to chill with, along with Karkat, so they moved up. And I have Tavros and Nepeta tied because they are sweet people, and in real life I would probably want to be friends with both.
