When I finally caught up, I will probably put it on the back burner for a bit. I don’t want a session to be just one page, that would be like 5 posts then, and wouldn’t really be worth it at that point (at least to me). I would probably wait until there was like 5 pages up and available and then do it as a session, so there would be enough to do.
when I first read this, I thought this was a jab at the other mother, with her saying that a responsible parent wouldn’t let their kids go to the Pit, when the other mom is taking her kids to the pit.
I mean, it really is, sort of, but she is also making fun of herself because she isn’t a responsible parent either.
I like to attribute it to me reading way to much Rose and sarcasm from homestuck.
(pg 301)
So that is the end of the chapter. I used up ALL of my posts to make it this far. Hell yeah go me.
So damn, that is a lot of information. Spender’s Conclusion with Forge, and his victory but at the cost of almost losing his cage of whatever the hell he is possessing.
It sounds like Spender knows the angel that Forge was trying to find. Was she the shadow thing that Spender locked in his chest? It was said that he defeated a high powered spirit, and it fits with Forge not getting his information right.
Day is cute. I like her and her cupid powers. Though her not remembering them being introduced is weird, unless she has amnesia or something. I can’t wait to see cupid.
We have an evil shadow organization people. Just our luck.
The kids….damn they are all getting isolated. Hell, even Spender is.
Isaac is shunned for not knowing anything..again…when the new kid Max gets to know things. Don’t think I didn’t notice how far away he was sitting from the rest of the group.
Isabel first lost her friend, then she was left alone without support by Spender, and then Ed gave her support only to leave her alone while her grandfather chewed her out.
Spender feels guilty over the choices he made and is going to push himself further into his work and leave everyone behind. And don’t think I didn’t noticed the fact that Lucifer was the one to try and seal the Big Evil Shadow in a cage with light. I see what they are doing.
And this is Day fucking Three for Max, and already he almost died multiple times, have no idea what insect saved him, no idea who to trust, learn many things about ghost mortality that he probably didn’t want to know, and is now trapped in town with no way out.
And now you have Johnny and his crew. They make me tear up so fast, I fucking love all of them. Their own internal investigations is adorable, especially when all 4 of them saw them fucking flying like wonder woman.
But what really gets me excited is Forge possessing Johnny. This is going to be a tag team from hell.
Think about it: Johnny and Forge both have beef with the Activities Club. So how cool would it be to see them working together to fight the members/teacher. Like a minor villain team up.
But then, you need to think about the motivations here, that’s where it gets good.
Because Forge literally is a war veteran who was disillusioned by what he did/done. Can speak the language of the pure and tainted, has given up on his life, and is basically trying to find purpose. He wants to serve someone good, for the hopes of feeling justice, clensed, make up for past mistakes and the evil he did in whatever Spirit War that had happened.
And he got Johnny
Johnny, the weirdo who will always look for a fight for no reason. You isn’t tainted, but sure as hell isn’t pure either. He is boiserous and weird and fucking loud.
BUT!
He always looks after his own. Never uses his friends if they don’t want to. Always tries to support his buds, never judges the weird shit they do, manages to calm them and bond with them, even after seeing some weird shit.
What I am saying is that, Johnny isn’t what Forge wanted, but damn if it isn’t what Forge needed. Because can you imagine Forge becoming protective over him, and actually bringing out whatever emotions Forge had lost so long ago? Because I can, and I can’t wait to see it.
Isabel loves dogs, but Eightfold hinted that something had happened to make her afraid of them.
Spender continues to study, trying to find the source of the town’s power and put an end to the danger once and for all
Day is asleep, either turning in her first report of the town to BL or just relaxing as she starts her new mission
And Max…god poor Max. So much information thrown at him. He almost died multiple times. BL’s offer to help out Day. The Snake Spirit. And now he can never leave town. Never go back home. Never try to see his mom’s ghost again until the train is fixed.
This has all been one exhausting night.
Yo, I am sorry but, look at how this is framed. We see PJ doing Max things as Isabel finally retreats to her room, still bitten. Gramps didn’t even bother to check if she is hurt, while PJ went immediately to Max’s side.
Dammit, now Isabel is alone again. Ed can only support her for so much, but it still hurts.
Oh it went from hers to yours now. Fuck you
Oh god he knows something is up
Because they had a rough day, lay off gramps.
A good move
At least Isabel isn’t completely alone
The Discord let me know what this meant and damn if that isn’t raw
…ok so…
I agree with Lucifer…to a point
Yes, Spender did a lot of wrong things. He shouldn’t have let his rage get the best of him. He shouldn’t have continued to pick a fight when the enemy was leaving, especially one where the enemy was leaving. He shouldn’t have exhausted himself against the council of his spirit partner, to the point of opening the cage. Yeah, a lot went wrong.
But he is a man, and he is fallible (you should know Satan), and that isn’t a bad thing.
He can learn, he can do better, he can be better. Everyone can.
But he is so enraptured by the Light that he blinds himself from those around him.
Look, he is literally walking in shadows away from Isabel after Lucifer said that the light must be focused. This isn’t a good path for Spender.
Spender is so focused on protecting the town, especially with this fallback that I am afraid he is going to lose himself to the cause, whatever his cause is. He might become a shell, a shadow, of who he used to be, focused on his duty that he ignores everything else.
And the sad thing is, is that he won’t get far alone. Because if he is by himself in this, then once his light-bulb burns out there will be no replacement, and the darkness will be released anyway.
This snide humor kills me every time, I love it.
And so they return home
Even demonic imps can be freaked out by a family reunion. Damn even their words are merged.
Time to go to the Jerk (off) Circle. And the member of said circle would be a Circle Jerk if you will
Sounds like someone isn’t a dog person.
