“When striking iron, it’s better to break the hammer than the arm that swings it.”

BREAKER OF INFINITIES
“When striking iron, it’s better to break the hammer than the arm that swings it.”
– Old folk saying, Red City circa 500 B.S.C.
I’m starting to believe the “all of this is a dream/vision” folks a bit more now…
Also, is that background going to just… be there for the rest of the comic’s run, then?
I hope in the end it stays only on the relevant pages. Otherwise new readers will not see the cool reveal we did.
Hes tweeted about it today. TLDR takes effort to fix it, will fix it when he has the effort to give.
Honestly it would be pretty cool if it was. Once you’ve glimpsed infinity, it’s always there in the background, waiting to bleed through when you stop focusing on what’s in front of you
I had no idea what everyone was talking about here, I’ve got .css scripts which force grey background/white text everywhere so the panel with her floating tiny was just her against a grey background of emptiness. Had to pull up vivaldi AND toggle my style addon off to see it.
honestly that sounds just as terrifying…
Or even more.
Yeah, I don’t see how this can follow through to the cover art of the book.
Unless the cover is the bait…?
You and me both, man. AN UTTER NIGHTMARE but at least it’s PROBABLY not real. Probably. I don’t have to be afraid of it, Right?
Right?
If we take the Liturgy seriously, most or all of reality is probably a lie, and it’s often terrifying anyway!
Seen the same
there ‘were’ plants in the atrium. A casual change in inflection as a consequence of viewing the wheel in all it’s entirety? Perfect and still? Or a nod to some time shenanigans?
I think it’s the inside of the crystal. A separate dimension, where Jadis rules, contemplates, and sits, doing almost nothing.
A breath. Rest. The wildfire has gazed into the sun, and finally looks away.
Breakfast at last.
Yes but what about second breakfast?
Second Breakfast at Tiffany’s? 😄
Tiffany blue~
Two by two with hands of blue …
Breakfast for one. For eternity, just one.
Yes. It seems Jadis is good on her word. Surely a mark in her favor.
And now Jadis offers her key to Allison, as others tried to do…. right ?? RIGHT ??
Recall the page where we saw her honorifics. Jadis is not the bearer of her key anymore. She is the bearer of “The Shape”.
We finally know where all of Alice’s body mass went – into Jadis’ chest.
mommy? sorry
Mommy? Sorry
Mommy? Sorry
The problem of perfect knowledge is perfect inaction.
A world forever seen is forever unchanging. Perfect slavery to the wheel, grinding all into logical pieces, marching in lockstep. No box of the alive-dead trickster.
This stillness is this one crystalline moment of perfection.
At least, until someone breaks the wheel and blinds the seer.
The seer has already failed her duty.
GLORY TO THE DIVINE CORPSE, IN ALL OF ITS MAGGOT RIDDLED SPLENDOR
MAY ANY LENS THAT SEEK TO CONSTRAIN IT SHATTER BY FORCE OF THEIR OWN HUBRIS
It was just a prank Allison! The camera’s right there!
Heavy is the chest that bears The Shape
It’s nice in here! It has plants!
Remember: Advice from a Goldfish is as good as advice from a Caterpillar
I am so pleased that Jadis was not skimping out on the plants
Man, what a long journey to get breakfast.
SNAP BACK TO REALITY
OOP THERE GOES GRAVITY
OH OZZIE’S FAMILY SHOW
LOVES PROFANITY WHOA THE INSANITY
Looks like a nice spread.
“Pretty sweet huh”
I want to lay on her lap.
Jadis looks kida sick rn
Now we just need Allison to go “Ok, what else you got?”
Self-devouring carps. Hm. Precursor of self-devouring wyrms, perhaps? I wonder what it can mean…
Ouroboros. But carpy. What may be interesting is that the one directly behind Allison has missed its tail.
Very good catch! It’s likely that it’s important imagery, since Abbadon loves putting those hints in.
I would expect gazing into the vastness of the very nature of the multiverse to be a power-up. At the very least, it would illuminate a lot more interesting options that you couldn’t have anticipated before.
Tell that to the victims of the Total Perspective Vortex. Fairycakes can be hell. But not me, I knew better and just ate the thing
It’s a power-up *eventually*. Allison is not in the state of mind to find meaning in meaninglessness yet. She’s barely had a second of peace to mourn her girlfriend.
Is it me or do chairs just look like mystical washing machines?
They look like empty eye sockets, which could have been our expectation for Allison and now acts as a reflection or shadow of a disaster avoided.
They’re also ouroboros, indicating the endless cycle of repeating history. As someone above (Tunnel Ape) noticed, the one *directly behind* Allison is not devouring its tail, likely important imagery denoting her role in breaking the cycle that Jagganoth hates so.
Dem tiddies tho
Ya
So, she tortures Alison to get one of two things from her. First might be her desired death. Second might be just the exact opposite
Starting to think Jadis’s true power is the ability to control her sweating in these outfits.
Honestly she did do the whole ice spikes move earlier so i imagine she used a lesser canticle of cooling or something for maximum coziness.
The briefest reprieve, the smallest respite, and yet there is no rest, only time in which the inevitable suffering lies in wait.
Struggling to understand how this scene fits with the previous — as in why is Jadis no longer black and crispy? — I note that the apparent candles on Jadis’ hat weren’t there before the pages with the Machine and Shape. In fact, they aren’t candles at all. They’re gas lights.
We pretty quickly concluded that this is all happening in some mental plain, like 6-7 pages ago.
Yes, they are gas lights, aren’t they? Interesting coincidence, you think?
This reality is a bit less solid than the usual one, simply put.
