King of Swords 4-37
Chapter: 4
Dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow,
I got my flower, I got my power,
I got a woman, who knows.
Kill Six Billion Demons
BREAKER OF INFINITIES
Dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow,
I got my flower, I got my power,
I got a woman, who knows.
Absolutely no innuendo of any kind
OMG! Mr. Furley was listening through the wall & you should have seen his face.
(mach speed eyebrow wiggling)
Classic bait and switch, well played Abbadon.
Whoooo Red Raiders! Red black and white! Guns up!
Guess: white = creation, black = destruction
With red being change, that would be a balanced set.
Wouldn’t that violate the first law of thermodynamics?
(^\\^)
Anything worth doing violates some law or another!
This framing, this misleading framing!
Everybody making MtG jokes and I’m sitting here giddy because it was a reference to the stages of the philosopher stone of alchemy.
This is also true. Very good, friend Derisyan. You will achieve True Gold yet.
Well-caught, Derisyan. I see you are a fellow student. But why begin with Rubedo, when that is a late step in the process, and not the first? Is Abaddon playing with us to subvert our expectations, or showing us a hidden truth?
All human languages have a word for white (light colours), a word for black (dark colours), and a word for red, all other colours are linguistic and cognitive creations from cultures that needed to further clarify and classify.
Good news: I have successfully stolen an access card for supreme deluxe premium commenting privileges. My new life as an elevator pickpocket is paying off. But I’ve noticed a sickening feeling inside me. My blood – my red, organic, nonmetallic beggar’s blood – is coming back. Soon my heart will be pumping this peasant’s liquid through veins that once carried gold! I despair at the very thought!
I wish Cio could teach me the Red Art; anything to make my blood shine and burn as it once did.
Hrmm… I trust you were able to retain your orichalcum heart? A while back I happened on a golden heart in the stacks of a shade-side tinker’s market stall. Turned out to be just a brass chachki, but it made me wonder.
Indeed I was, for the most part. However, I needed to remove most of the jewelry encrusted on the various valves and axles, so it is in danger of falling apart if I don’t bring it in for maintenance. If I’m crafty about it and play it cool, I might just be able to steal someone else’s heart in my usual elevator. I hear a lot of songs about people having their heart stolen, surely that’s what it means right?
Good to see you back on your feet, Mister Draco. And thank you for informing me of your profession. I’ll know not to use the elevators while on Throne.
Then again, I’d probably avoid them anyway. Stair Thieves and Pusher Assassins are easier to dodge than Elevator Thieves and Elevator Assassins. There’s more room the maneuver.
Or I could just fly or slow fall. But that magic isn’t necessarily what I want to expend willy nilly. Might need them later.
I am baffled no one noticed or mentioned the fact that colors align neatly with one of the oldest and most venerable of fantasies. The Final Fantasy.
White Mages, Black Mages, Red Mages.
I am excited, much like that pure raw potential magic, to see what it will become.
Oldest? Thou art ignorant, my friend, Dragonlance used such a classification several years before the very first FF was created.
And, as was already stated, this colours really go as far back as to alchemy and stages of the Philosopher’s Stone creation. Quite older stuff, really,
Haha, male gaze joke AND fan service for the shipwrights in the same comic – not bad, home-dawg, not bad.
Heh…
You told your mamma I’d get you home
But you didn’t say I was a car >.>
I said it’s alright, You know it’s alright
I guess it’s all in my heart
You’ll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Led Zeppelin, nice choice.
I love this comic.
Small reminder; Fire has no allies
Well yeah, if you take that attitude. I know plenty of magicians who practice animism and/or Contract Magic, who have literally made themselves allies to fire. First thing most such contractors extract from flame is a promise not to burn them. Even arcanists are known to make such pacts, even if pacts aren’t their primary magical study, simply for this benefit.
Me, I prefer to make agreements with airy spirits. Many are content to work with me in return for a song. Literally. I’m told my singing has gotten very good, since beginning my studies.
Without the power of friendship, fire tends to sputter out on its own.
Earth can be used to contain and concentrate the intensity. Air to stir and feed it. Water to keep the users refreshed and protected.
Does anyone else feel that the sexual tension between Cio and Allison is a little shoehorned? Seems nothing more than fan service and it’s taking away from their character
It is a bit over the top and super fanservicey. :/
Cio is a:
*nonhuman
*fanfiction writer
*recovering murderqueen
*try-sexual (yab seemed like she’d try anything)
*part-time criminal/burglar/thief
*small portion of the chaotic black flame
*hiding behind a mask to avoid burning her friends
*some sort of fan-fiction writing author self-insert
*who is known for doing her own self-insert characters
*who was also known for letting her crush on Allison leak all over the pages with those self-inserts
*not even remotely a human and thus totally not required to conform to positive human lesbian norms
*teensy bit outside the typical range of what one might think a purely lesbian human would be attracted to
Oh, did I forget to mention she’s literally an author self-insert so he can write fan-fiction about his own universe INSIDE that universe and use that self-insert’s self-insert to play around and ship characters HE COULD JUST DECLARE ARE TOGETHER because he is a wonderfully strange guy painting a wonderfully strange story for us and instead of getting mad at him for not being a gay woman we might have more fun enjoying the story we’ve been watching unfurl for years?
I cannot agree.
I feel like it ties very nicely into both of their characters. I think we have a lot of foreshadowing that Allison is gay and in deep denial, and a lot of this story is about Allison discovering herself.
On the other hand, Cio has a lot of trouble letting people into her life, and the tension between that and her attraction to Allison (which was foreshadowed *early*) is a big part of her character.
Ok, who else hears [i]Unchained Melody[/i] plying in the background?
This page is awfully horny. You should censor it, asshole. Fuck you.
ah, so the scribe has good taste and invokes the hammer of the gods.
hm, this feels like a dropped ball in a very “man portrays lesbians” way. i’ve been on board with everything else so far but this rly doesn’t pass this gay’s litmus test
