And that is for one simple reason: most Franco Belgian comic volumes are self contained stories. You can pick up almost any Asterix, Spirou or Tintin comic, doesn’t matter what issue and you will be able to follow and understand the story perfectly.

For manga it is serialised and a step above the “pick up any volume in whatever order” ideology of franco belgian comics but it’s still easy. You just start at volume one and go from there.

Unrequited romantic love on Reynauld's side. The healthiest outcome is Reynauld realising he can love something or someone without having to posess them. That the love can just be there, its not wrong or dirty and nothing has to be done about it. It can just exist.

Pleasantries.

I had this idea that Zorglub kisses Champignac's hand because he’s a Count, and that’s a high status no matter what - Zorglub himself can’t really boast anything like that. But he likes it. It’s part of their “game”.

Lately, I’ve often had this headcanon that Zorglub is willing to play along with Pacôme and give in to him in many ways, so that Pacôme can be the dominant one in their relationship. Zorglub is too clumsy, gullible, and flighty to take on that role himself. He understands this, so he doesn’t resist Pacôme’s dominance. However, if something goes wrong, Zorglub will still take control and can step in to protect Champignac.

And so you come out of retirement to help your daughter and try to use your clout to help her, only to meet the two most obnoxious sinners in a ROW who immediately just clown on you. And you can't even DO anything about it.

Like this man literally showed up and tried to throw his weight around only for some radio deer to dump a piano on his head, and then when he tries AGAIN some fucking television makes fun of his hat.

AND THEN YOU GET KIDNAPPED AND REALIZE THEY FUCKING KNOW EACH OTHER.

Red Asshole is here (looks chill)(not concerned at all like one would be in a kidnapping situation)

Blue Asshole knows about his secret (only a couple of people knew about it including Alastor somehow according to Lucifer ??)

Last he checked, Red Asshole has stormed off the hotel to who knows where (and apparently he went to Blue Asshole place?)

Both are assholes who enjoy clowning on him

Blue Asshole acts jealous when Red Asshole's attention is on Lucifer (they've barely exchanged 10 words and somehow it's too much ??)

Being tied up is definitely a thing couples do (he did it soooo many times with Lilith)

And came to the natural conclusion that Alastor and Vox were together and conspired to ruin his day.

"Eyy, Kid! Heard it was your birthday! Seemed only fitting that I gotcha a candle suited for the occasion!"

this has been sitting on my computer half done for about a year, so i decided to finish it, since i hc Sundown's birthday as May 31st (same as Clint Eastwood's)

I JUST WANNA BE WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO BE I DON’T WANNA HAVE A SOUL

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

To which Alastor only answers by smiling harder through the pain and fear because he'll die before giving an inch.

But I'm always asking myself, did Vox truly want to wipe out that smile ? Would he have been satisfied if Alastor has finally shown emotion, weakness, if he had cared about Vox ? Would that sight have been able to bring back Vox from the edge of madness, even for just one moment?

Or did it not matter anyway because the love he once held had died, and he just wanted to burn and drag everyone with him ?

It does make sense : Alastor has lied and manipulated Vox all season, Vox has nothing solid to rely on and can't trust anything anymore, so even Alastor dropping the mask and being vulnerable could have looked like a trick.

But like you mentioned, at this point he's grasping at anything that could give him a semblance of control (like his delusion that he's becoming a god and that it's his Destiny : a last attempt at validating his actions). Alastor finally folding and giving him what he wants might look like control...but he was just proven that all this time, Alastor was the one manipulating everything, not Vox. He'll never be able to make Alastor do something against his will.

So it's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't: no matter his actions, Alastor could never convince Vox it was a real victory. Thus Vox knows (instinctively) that any victory at this point would be hollow.
