now that’s a trustworthy smile if I’ve ever seen one
When you’re ready to give up, the sloth demiurge won’t let you down!
FINALLY, AGAIN!
In fairness, Jadis hasn’t had a chance to move her face in…quite some time. While I doubt that she’s what most would consider a good person, it very well may be her genuine attempt at smiling?
Oh, my armor cracked a bit. It appears even I don’t believe that.
Glass waifu glass waifu
Orange waifu is dead. Long live glass waifu!
OH, HI JADIS
Jadis looking like a joo dee ass bitch rn
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
there was no war these past 50(?) pages
the wheel turning king invites you to Rayuba
I have learned 1 lesson from media about what it means when a ghost comes out of a pile of sludge that used to be your lover and offers their hand to you and that lesson is you’re probably dying
It’s very good when that happens actually. It means ghost adventures with your new ghost friend! Gee I hope they have fun in Sludge World together, maybe they’ll find a sword? Ah, I’m getting ahead of myself again, I just hope they have a good time together in or with the Sludge.
She is not coming out from the sludge however. She is coming out from the water behind it.
Is anyone else lost?
Cio and White Chain.
Harsh
Dude. Too soon.
there is no war in Ba Sing Se
Hey, we never saw a body for white chain, and Cios mask has been rebuilt before and can be again. They’ll be a bit different but some of it will still be her.
Incubus has turned on Alison because she’s having a PSTD breakdown on account of watching a fucking world die. Maya is here to stop Incubus and most likely kill Incubus or die trying. Cio was just maybe killed by Incubus trying to save Alison. Jadis {or ???} has just appeared to Alison and is offering… Who knows.
perhaps Lost is
Perhaps Jadis was waiting for this the whole time? She knows everything, so…
OOOooo, so, she’s like a ghost or something, thats cool
BTW… is it just me or does Jadis really have a swan neck?
She’s got some neck, appearing there like that.
One foot in the grave, the other outside it. Death and time are nothing to a King.
This feels exceptionally Berserk, this right here. Very Eclipse in the Interstice of Fantasia.
That blue girl ain’t right, I tell ya!
Omg, Jadis is here!
I have been so curious about her since the start of the comic!
So much is happening and I am so excited!
But also, heart broken ;_; Alison has been through so much! And Cio!!!
I believe this is not the end for her though!
That’s probably just Jadis rising from the ground, but given that Cio just went “warm liquid goo phase” a few feet away, it is hard not to think that Jadis was hiding inside her… which would be quite the revelation.
callback!
One which Allison has no context for. It’s arguably a good thing she’s too distracted to give much thought to how she’s been described.
anonymous once queried:
“what does Jadis even want anymore?”
and a strange bird once responded:
“very sincerely: to die.”
perhaps we shall witness the result of this death soon… then again, perhaps not. after all, death may be certain, but life never is…
maybe she looks so happy because she already died
“It split and did not split its aura, was not known at all until under the impact of splitting, a single concealed supernal point shone. Beyond that point, nothing is known, so it is called, Reshit, beginning, first command of all.”
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Incubus is like “what the hell is she talking about”
Jadis looks genuinely moved by Alison’s pain, in the second-to-last panel.
I hope we get a demiurge that’s actually likeable, though right now I’ll prefer any of them over Incubus — Alison was right: that guy’s a psycho creep!
She did kill her own father. Tho that was before she saw the shape and became mad/omniscient.
*checks out the remains of 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe* – When Maya throws off that cloak, it’s ass whooping time.
PROSPECTOR! YOU’RE OUTTA YOUR BOX!
Anyone else notice how unnaturally long and straight ghost lady’s neck is?
she’s got that diane nguyen giraffe neck
Wait till you realize where her real eye is
You know, for all we see it in fiction, I can’t ever recall a kimono with contrasting lapels IRL. Maybe they do exist but they’re definitely not common.
As far as I can see, the only kimonos that do that are ones sold as costumes and similar in the West.
Very rarely do we get to see a protagonist realistically hit “the wall” so to speak. They always find that little bit of energy necessary to keep fighting right up to the end, regardless of how nonsensical that really is.
For all her power, Allison is still psychologically an ordinary human being, and ordinary human beings don’t usually bounce back very quickly from getting an arm blown off while watching their loved ones die. There’s only so much mental and physical pain the brain can process all at once before it decides “welp, I’m out” and enters a state of dissociative shock, as we see here.
A lesser writer (including myself) would have made her become vindictive or greif-stricken. It’s far more realistic and far more engaging to see her struggle not with grief, but with horror.
Horror is what we feel when our world breaks. It is a mindless reeling, which is what we saw on the previous page. Personally, I like to think of it as the mind attempting to reject reality. Those that succeed in doing so go mad.
It’s not very common in fiction, but present enough to be a named trope: “Heroic BSOD”.
