Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. Today we are discussing Galebound by Respheal~! (http://www.galebound.com/) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~!

With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

Kabocha

Oooh, favorite scene so far. Hrrrrrm.

Lyall

I really like din parting the waters

making the bridge

Amarok

oh these are questions for us?

Respheal

Yeh

Amarok

easy, the scene where Din jumps out the bed and charges his laser

Respheal

To prompt discussion

Lyall

i liked the fight in the hotel room too

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'm definitely laughing at this.

no escape bruh

Kabocha

I really like Page 54 -- the end of the Dark Hour. http://www.galebound.com/comics/2415667/054/ I sat there for a while and was like... "What is this?" "Why is he smiling?" I've been really torn between Pascal thinking "You're so dead" and actually being relieved -- because who knows what could have happened? I've kinda stuck to the idea that Pascal REALLY wants to see killing Conan through though.(edited)

Amarok

well theres always Parkers house hears Conan choking in background

Lyall

Res' two page spreads are gorgeous btw

RebelVampire

not really a scene but one of my fave pages is definitely that one where pascal is looking out at the ocean realizing wtf just happened

Kabocha

yes.

I laughed super hard at that one

Respheal

Hahahah so many people said they relate to Pascal on that page xD

Amarok

yeah but few know about his fish friend

Respheal

"I sincerely love this page, my inner self relates to Pascal on a higher level"

Lyall

loooooooool

Kabocha

If it's not in comic, it's not confirmed, Amarok

Lyall

i feel that i personally have not bonded with pascal for some reason

perhaps my heart too sold on din

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I like this scene too. So glowy

Kabocha

We know very little about Pascal tbh. Din's been very quiet about him except "dude is gonna try to kill you."

Lyall

hurrrrhurrrrhurrrr

Kabocha

:3

Amarok

yes my favorite page

Lyall

love that spread

Kabocha

Wait, wait

Respheal

I was itching to get to that page so bad xD

Kabocha

How many words has Pascal said in comic so far?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

uhhh

did he?

Respheal

Three

Kabocha

and what % of them has been a profanity

Amarok

2

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh

Respheal

2/3 were curses

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

Amarok

that third one wasnt a word

Lyall

loooooool

Amarok

it was garble

Respheal

Yeah it was just "ugh...."

Kabocha

............. New name added to the nickname. I'mma stick it in the middle: "Foulmouth"

Respheal

xDDDD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

creative censorship, my friend

Lyall

PottyMouthPascal

RebelVampire

hey pascal was told to kill, not talk no talking needed

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

fartmouth Pascal

oops this is gonna be archived lel

Respheal

LOL

Kabocha

How many bad words DOES Pascal know, and are you going to invent new swears for him to use?

Respheal

Well I mean

He hangs out in bars so

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so he swears like a sailor

Kabocha

When he finally does get more than a one-word line, he's probably just gonna be like "You ------ --------- -------- you and your ----------- horse"

Lyall

omg XD

i hope so

Respheal

--and the horse you rode in on

RebelVampire

the way this is worded makes me think pascal is gonna invent his own swears. gonna wind up using Din's name in one of them.

Kabocha

And then he whips out a knife and whoops, he really does have Murderpants now

Din will be so blown away

Respheal

.........

Wind puns

so many gale-blasted wind puns

Kabocha

has been kicked from the chat

lololol

Lyall

naaaaaah

Respheal

.....can...can I answer the questions too? xDDD

RebelVampire

if ppl got kicked for puns math would not be welcome here

rip math

Kabocha

Yes

Respheal

lololol

RebelVampire

you can answer the questions yes

Respheal

YAS

Lyall

math the punniest

Kabocha

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE RES

RebelVampire

i wont stop you

Respheal

THE SNAKE CHARMERS MONOLOGUE

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

kinda found it funny how they argued over a change of clothes

Respheal

That scene stayed pretty much the same in every draft

This page: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2437904/061/

Kabocha

Conan objects to being called a hick

Respheal

Nah he owns it xD

Amarok

ah the first attempt to explain magic

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Lyall

OOoooooh i liked that scene too

RebelVampire

i liked din was nice in that scene and stopped magicking when he saw conan was sad

Kabocha

I'm not sure I trust this face sometimes

Lyall

no, trust that face most of all

RebelVampire

whats not to trust

O_O

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Respheal

Hmmm....

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

what he's friendly

RebelVampire

thats the face of honesty

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

or maybe not

Respheal

Oh I mean re: "i liked din was nice in that scene and stopped magicking when he saw conan was sad"(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Artemis trust him so it's good enough

Lyall

didn't he stop cause conan commanded it tho, lol

suuure he's just so nice tho

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah that's what I thought too

Kabocha

I feel like Conan was creeped out tbh

RebelVampire

shhh let me think din is nice O_O

Lyall

din is nice in my heart

keltyzoid!

so what is this tea party

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

din is nice I think

Kabocha

Din is nice to Conan.

Lyall

i don't feel like din is evil at least

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so uh we discuss a comic every week

Kabocha

Din wants to overthrow a kingdom, though.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

@keltyzoid!

Kabocha

Sooooooooooooo not really all that nice?

Lyall

i wouldn't say i think he's good tho either

i feel like he's someone's pawn

Kabocha

Din is nice in a very limited context

Lyall

cause din very much has an agenda

mariah (rainy day dreams)

He's got too much big shit to do to be soft and fluffy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's nice

Kabocha

But sometimes you gotta feel like he's blowing smoke up someone's butt

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'd like to believe

Lyall

wondered if he was conan's dad's servant or something

Respheal

@keltyzoid! https://comicteaparty.tumblr.com/about

Lyall

and he's bound to their family that's why he has to take orders from them

keltyzoid!

THANKS RES

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

like a book club only with comics

RebelVampire

to be fair to din's not so niceness moments, he did just meet conan and is fulfilling some obligation. those are not factors where someone is going to be nice.

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Hmmmmmmm I like that theory!

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

why does Din want to overthrow a kingdom tho?

Lyall

so in that regard din is neither nice or not nice, he's just doing his obligatory duty

RebelVampire

@keltyzoid! https://comicteaparty.tumblr.com/faq you can also check out the faq which has more info ;3;

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

is the king that bad?

I mean kinda if he sents pascal to kill conan

keltyzoid!

ty ty

RebelVampire

well it may not be that the king is bad even. its hard to say when we havent seen the king.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

@keltyzoid! you can read and catch up http://galebound.com/

it's a short read(edited)

keltyzoid!

Din and Pascal are some hard boys to draw, so shout outs to Res for drawing them over and over again

Respheal

Thanks! :'D

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I like Din's floofy hair

keltyzoid!

GOD YOUR ART HAS GOTTEN SO GOOOODD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so floofy

Respheal

THANK YOU

That means a lot ;w;

RebelVampire

din has the best hair ;3;

Lyall

love din's floofy hair too

Respheal

Very floof

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

keltyzoid!

curly boy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

all the floof

Lyall

they say curly haired boys are pervs tho

keltyzoid!

who says that

Lyall

people

Respheal

pffft

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies Lyall is not curly haiir tho

Kabocha

How would Din feel about being called a floofy guy though lol

Lyall

lyall you need a perm

Kabocha

having someone sit there and ruffle his hair

admittedly, I thought, at first, that the line by his eye was just an age line XD

Lyall

strange imagery of conan ruffling din's hair

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he'll shoot lasers at everyone

LOL

Respheal

@Lyall and that's how Conan dies

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

well conan can do that

Lyall

LOL

but what if he does it and commands don't kill me before hand

Kabocha

Conan's gonna end up shoved in the sea or something

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

what he can command Din to be a nice doggy and let Conan pet him

Mahotou

i'm late but i'm here!

Respheal

Well that might help xD

Maho! o/

Mahotou

o/!

RebelVampire

welcome!

welcome all new ppl

Mahotou

is it ok to ask for a summary of what's transpired so far at the tea party?

RebelVampire

i think the bigger question is is din's hair naturally that floof or does he spend hours getting it to floof O_O

keltyzoid!

pet DIn's hair but be careful not to dislodge the 8 to 10 random items he has hidden in there at all times

Lyall

secret dagger stash

keltyzoid!

he doesn't know what's in there right now but he knows it would be a pity to lose them

Respheal

LOL

Lyall

it's more like wild untammed floof

Mahotou

Din's hair is a portal

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'd like to think it's natural floof

Respheal

@Mahotou The question is favorite scenes, but it devolved into discussing the floofiness of Din's hair

Lyall

rather than picture din with curlers in at night

RebelVampire

@Mahotou weve talked about fave scenes and aboout pascal's swearing

keltyzoid!

his floof is powered by the universe itself

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I mean can he summon hair sprays?(edited)

Respheal

Oh yes and that 66.7% of Pascal's dialogue thus far has been cursing(edited)

Mahotou

XD

keltyzoid!

curse him and his poofy shirt

Mahotou

pasc cant catch a break

Lyall

oh i love din's jacket too

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Mahotou

speaking of, a fav scene is pasc's smiling

keltyzoid!

belts

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I like the scarf

Lyall

best jacket

Respheal

:D

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

likes all the scarf

Lyall

din the best dressed man

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

powerful and fashionable

Lyall

probably someone's tool

keltyzoid!

but Pascal is so fancy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

fancy murderpants

Lyall

pascal is a snappy dresser too

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

both of them are

Respheal

Magicians, they like to dress well

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that red scarf is cool

Lyall

they must work for rich people

who care how they dress

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

keltyzoid!

or maybe he just knows of a really good antique store

Amarok

im back

what i miss

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

and Din forced Conan to dress up too

Respheal

o/

RebelVampire

or they just like to look really cool while they performing their magic. how else you gonna impress da ladies

Amarok

oooh we talking dress up

Lyall

maybe it increases your magic powers to dress nice

the secret of fashion magic

Respheal

Sure let's go with that

Kabocha

Din dropped that giant bag of cash at first

Amarok

oh thats the one thing that tells us that "Lucie" isnt Lucie

Kabocha

so I mean

keltyzoid!

the fancier you are the more magic you can do

Kabocha

dude's got access

Amarok

she hasnt complimented on his new outfit

Respheal

She's a lil busy freaking out over his well-being

keltyzoid!

one time i saw a guy on Penn and Teller and he was dressed like a homeless man and his magic was sub par

Respheal

LOL

keltyzoid!

whAT

Amarok

uh huh sure

Lyall

is she really her

i feel like it's a mirage to manipulate conan

Amarok

ill take shes a fake for 800 bob

keltyzoid!

it's a mirage to sink ships >:/

Lyall

yeah

Kabocha

What is Pascal in a glamor?

Lyall

like i find it more believable that she's fake than real just randomly there

Amarok

unless Pascal got his fish freind for a ride

Kabocha

(sorry, going with the jeopardy style answer lol)

Amarok

hes still trudging the shore

Respheal

Oh xD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

XD

RebelVampire

pascal busy building sand castles

keltyzoid!

hell yeah

Respheal

LOL he would too

Lyall

fffffft

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

does he like sand castles?

he might murder the sand castle

Lyall

who doesn't like sand castles

Kabocha

No, no, he'd only stab people who crushed his castle

Pascal has principles.

Lyall

he'd curse and cry

keltyzoid!

Conan's gonna break his sandcastle like the bully in Cool Cat Saves the Kids

RebelVampire

is that why pascal out to murder conan and his dad O_O conan's dad crushed pascal and the king's sand castle?

Respheal

......Sure

Lyall

nah pascal is being controlled by someone else too

Respheal

xD

Kabocha

Cool Din Saves the Kids

Lyall

feel like pascal and din are just both being used

RebelVampire

oh theyre for sure just being used

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

awww

poor pascal

Lyall

really din and pascal are BFFs that grew up together and dated

RebelVampire

i mean the opening kind of set the tone for that XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

omg

def ship

Lyall

then they're like well it's a job

sorry bae

Kabocha

OMG ;'D

keltyzoid!

Din and Pascal?

Lyall

yus

Kabocha

Din has a boyfriend that is not Pascal, I'm pretty sure

Lyall

I hope

he's super good looking

Kabocha

I think Din's type is blonde? :3

Mahotou

that's a truth

Kabocha

Where's that pic, Res?!

Respheal

wuh?

Oh

Of Din's BF?

keltyzoid!

yeah it's Conan shut up

Mahotou

they want the boyfriend Res

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Mahotou

xD

Kabocha

omg

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Conan can just be a chaperone

Lyall

i don't wanna push spoilers out of res tho

Respheal

https://respheal.tumblr.com/post/161779575831/drew-a-thing-for-fun-i-have-no-idea-why-theyre

Mahotou

OH WAIT

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh

Mahotou

THERE IT IS

Lyall

awww he's not my type

but if he makes you happy din i support

Mahotou

he's for Din anyways lol

RebelVampire

QUESTION 2. In the most recent updates, it’s revealed that Din may have purposely let the assassin, Pascal, get away. It also opens up an important question: can Din be trusted? Why would Din let Pascal get away if that’s true? Why is Din so secretive instead of just telling Conan the truth? Is Din really just out to hurt Conan too?

Mahotou

xD

Respheal

Oh hoh hohohohoh

Kabocha

Din did say the less Conan knows, teh better.

Lyall

surprisingly doesn't like long hair on male characters that much

RebelVampire

thats what all secretive ppl say when they just want someone to shut up

keltyzoid!

maybe it was just a prank

Kabocha

I feel like Din doesn't want blood on his hands? Or at least on Conan's hands, to be honest.

Amarok

well Din doesnt really know Conan

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

He's concerned for Pascal in a way

Amarok

but he knows Felix

allegedly

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

who's felix?

Lyall

maybe din has been ordered not to tell conan things

Amarok

Conans father

RebelVampire

felix is conan's dad

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh carp I forgot

Kabocha

He knows Conan enough to know that he was some guy in a stable who had a life and was going to help with an assassination plot

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

see my memory fails me already

Mahotou

*patpat

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

XD

Lyall

it's okay mharz i forgot too

Amarok

But the question and answer is Does Din trust Conan

Kabocha

So, Conan's plausible deniability in this is key if Conan's not gonna get the axe.

Amarok

enough to allow himself to be potentially controlled by him against his will

Lyall

i doubt din trusts conan

i mean he just met him

conan is more like luggage to din probably

Kabocha

tbh I think there's some serious gaslighting going on right now though

Mahotou

same

Kabocha

Stuff's going to explode as soon as Checker-- erm, Artemis manages to get Din to wake up.

RebelVampire

i dont think he's been ordered to not say anything. honestly i get the sense din is just being nice in this regard and feels the less conan knows the less conan's life is disrupted and the quicker they can get stuff done

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Somehow I just feel like it's his duty to protect Conan

Lyall

same

RebelVampire

i agree it seems he might be bound to conan's family

Lyall

i don't feel like their relationship is that deep atm

cause din is doing a duty

and conan is basically the cargo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

RebelVampire

hahaha conan as cargo

Superjustin of Time and Space

Lol

Respheal

Early on, he was even thrown over Artemis like luggage

Lyall

yuuuuus

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yep definitely luggage

Superjustin of Time and Space

(and yeah just peeking in to see what's up)

Respheal

o/

Superjustin of Time and Space

\o

Lyall

hi super~!!

Superjustin of Time and Space

Keep up the good work Respheal, your stuff's awesome

Respheal

Thanks :'D

Superjustin of Time and Space

and hey Draco!

You're welcome~

Respheal

PFFFFFFFFFFT

Lyall

loooool

Respheal

-dies-

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Amarok

as for the why would Din let Conan escape

Superjustin of Time and Space

OMG that pic

Amarok

obviously commands are verbal

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Din let Conan escape?

Respheal

Why Din would let Pascal escape you mean?

Amarok

Pascal yes

derp

Respheal

LOL

Lyall

ah that makes more sense

Respheal

Maho xD

Lyall

my memory is fuzzy but i was like when did conan escape

Amarok

anyway

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

if Din let Conan escape, the story is over

Lyall

you had one job Din

Amarok

COmmand are verbal so to override them u must have percise language or else a technical loophole could proceed

Kabocha

now I want to draw some stuff like galebound was a totally different comic

Superjustin of Time and Space

Alternate Ending

RebelVampire

well its not over weve established din knows where conan is O_O

Tenor

@Respheal I didn't get to read but i wanted to drop in and saw I love the art at least! <33 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

say*

Respheal

Thanks <3(edited)

Amarok

as Din may not know the wording of the contract, he must improvise

Lyall

i hope din has this huge secret ulterior motive that really goes against everything that's been said and done so far and he was playing both sides in order to free himself or something, lol

cause he seems that type

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I hope you don't go too far. I've only read the main pages

RebelVampire

i assume din just has past history with pascal

since i mean

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I feel that too

RebelVampire

din knew who he was

wasnt like "oh rando assassin"

unless theres a magician association

Respheal

omg

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

and not just I just know he's an assassin

there's a connection

Superjustin of Time and Space

I love these images @Kabocha

mariah (rainy day dreams)

They went to baby murder magic school together

Lyall

looool

Kabocha

You know, in Ink Drop Cafe, I've been talking about how Pascal is secretly out to kill Conan, because Conan's clearly the evil little brother

Lyall

they do look a like

i have a hard time telling them apart tbh

Respheal

rip

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

Superjustin of Time and Space

Wait

there's sucha thing

Respheal

I gotta admit that's more me sucking at drawing :'D I WILL GET BETTER(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

as babby murder time hour?

Lyall

i think that's why i haven't bonded with pascal, he reminds me of conan mostly

but like better dressed

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

you did improve a lot Res

Respheal

Thanks <3(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

Indeed

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

:3

Mahotou

same face syndrome is a butt

Respheal

Pascal needs to show up moar so I can get more practice drawing him xD

Lyall

hahah oh dear

Superjustin of Time and Space

XD(edited)

Lyall

i was thinking they were secret twins or something

RebelVampire

while were on these subjects. let us theorize

http://www.galebound.com/comics/2289959/001/

who that other kid in that page

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Lucie?(edited)

Respheal

pbbt

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

A childhood friend?

Lyall

maybe one of them is din as a kid(edited)

cause of the black hair

Mahotou

OMG YES WHAT DO OTHERS THINK ABOUT DA OTHER KID?

Kabocha

my initial thought was it's conan

Lyall

same

i thought it was conan the first time but the hair looks black

RebelVampire

what if the other kid is pascal

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that might be pascal lel

Lyall

pascal and din

mariah (rainy day dreams)

mind blown

Kabocha

http://www.galebound.com/comics/2460520/067/ Conan has forgotten something though

Amarok

i subscribe to that was Conan and Din in the first few

Mahotou

i thought it was conan at one point and pascal at another point. and now i just dont know

Amarok

and he has memory loss

Lyall

it's just some random kiddos, gosh

Amarok

and has a history in Evenheim

Lyall

for establishing shot

Amarok

else why would the City Daemon help him

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

The woman is Conan's mom shot

Superjustin of Time and Space

Dang Kabo I love these too much

RebelVampire

well one of the kids is din. unless theres another green eyed floof person

Amarok

im guessing said scene was shortly after Conan's mom died and deadbeat dad left

Superjustin of Time and Space

your sketches

Lyall

oh wait there's more to the kiddos

wow i completely forgot about this part, LOL

okay yeah that's def Din

no doubt

i remember i knew that when i read it

cause it's pretty obvious

unless he has a twin

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that was 17 years before the start of the story

Kabocha

gotta be Din. 'cause dem green eyes

Lyall

and the hair

RebelVampire

i lean towards its pascal just cause it being conan is too obvious imo.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he has floofy hair

Lyall

yeah

and he's better dressed than conan cause he's wearing blue

blue always the best

Respheal

xD

Kabocha

but we've also seen Conan's dad

and conan's dad is kinda fancy.

Lyall

well it's not din's boyfriend

can cross that off

RebelVampire

conan is their half brother O_O and his mom was a princess so he got a less shitty life

problem solved

Respheal

I mean, I haven't introduced that many characters yet xD So it's either one of them or someone tht hasn't been introduced yet~~~~

Lyall

that's very magi rebel, hahah

Superjustin of Time and Space

introduce more

Respheal

ikr

soooooooooon

ish

Lyall

conan is alibaba

Respheal

Soon in webcomic time

RebelVampire

LOL

it could be someone new tho, i dont discount that.

its not lucie

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

webcomic time = 10 years

RebelVampire

she is also crossed off the list

Lyall

i thought she was related to din cause of her black hair

mother or sister

RebelVampire

who are you talking about draco?

Respheal

The woman from the prologue I presume(edited)

Lyall

yus

Superjustin of Time and Space

k I'm gonna listen to some music, you guys enjoy the rest of the chat

Respheal

Alrighty, have fun!

Lyall

kay, laterz Super~!

Superjustin of Time and Space

Thanks~ And laterz!

RebelVampire

thank for coming super~!

Superjustin of Time and Space

You're welcome. ^_^

Kabocha

http://www.galebound.com/comics/2294666/003/ The last line on this page

The hate between Din and Conan is not quite strong enough

Lyall

oh

Kabocha

you know how some comics have power of friendship? These guys gotta be powered by hate. :'3

Lyall

this

Respheal

LOL

Amarok

right now its mutual distrust and distaste

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

rip

Lyall

doesn't this imply that din is borrowing power from people he hates to change the world to his own ideals so he is a two faced snake that's going to betray his master at some point, lol

Amarok

especially wiht that accent and old outfit

Kabocha

Right now Conan is basically the one in charge...

Well.

Lyall

sorta

he's not really

Kabocha

Yeah.

Of Pascal.

Respheal

xD

Lyall

din is borrowing power from whoever told him to get conan

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yep

he was looking for Conan's dad too I think

Respheal

Correct

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

which is something strange

Respheal

Wondering where the heck he is, anyway

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

cus Din and Conan gave different years on how long he was missing

Lyall

check the brothels

Amarok

imagines din with a "wheres felix" book(edited)

RebelVampire

what sort of power are we talking about tho? like do you have to be bound to someone to access more magic? are we talking about political power? etc.

Respheal

xD

Lyall

i think it's more a position of power

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

mind power?

Lyall

like a rank of some sort

RebelVampire

cause if were talking about rank

Lyall

well not official rank

RebelVampire

what if that lady was a court magician and she took the boys in and trained them

Lyall

but more access to stuff

maybe but she was dressed pretty poor too

Respheal

How many doodles did you make??? xDDDD

lmao

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Does the king have the same powers as conan does?

Kabocha

I'm doing these as I go

RebelVampire

her dress was pretty nice imo. plain but nice

Mahotou

rank is involved with the command ability right?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

it does?

Lyall

her hair made me think she's poor tho

Mahotou

and i think she's a mage from implying they (herself and kid din) are stray dogs

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

again only reading the actual pages

RebelVampire

its possible the king has the same powers cause in res' world info city daemons are generally heard by high ranking officials

Amarok

if it does how does teh rank pass?

Kabocha

I think rank was only mentioned in the comments

Amarok

the old king is dead. long live teh king.. but whos the king?

Kabocha

so it's wild mass guessing at the moment

Lyall

iamking

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

that means conan is in a high position if he can command pascal

Lyall

well if he's the king's son he'd be a prince of some sort maybe(edited)

Mahotou

which i guess bring's his lineage into question (looks at felix)(edited)

Lyall

fuzzy memory tho will not benefit me here

RebelVampire

to be fair some tidbits of info are more a question of did you read the supplemental world info

cause theres some juicy hints in there if you connect some dots

Respheal

This is true

There's a lot of stuff I just plain can't fit in the comic xD But it's usually not 100% necessary info

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

was thinking what if Felix is somehow related to the king

wild guess

Kabocha

Felix is a rival for the throne?

That's a good theory....

Lyall

oh reminds me i was thinking you should put the dusk appendix in the main menu bar if you can

cause i didn't think to look for world information in the about page

only when rebel pointed it out did i know it existed

Kabocha

I'mma subscribe to that one mharz

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

why does the king want Felix and his heir Conan dead?

Mahotou

is felix an illegal baby of royalty? is conan?(edited)

Respheal

Hmm, I can see about making it fit in there

Making Conan a bastard lol

rip

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. Conan himself is rather strange with having a rare ability to hear city daemons. He also has suggested there are important things he may have forgotten. Why or what is Conan that makes him as much a target as his father? Is there are a reason he seems to have hidden abilities? Has he forgotten something that will later be pivotal to the story?

drops question early since were on the topic anyway

Amarok

hes a target cause his father is a target, making him a source of leverage

Kabocha

Someone wants to flush Felix out. :3

Lyall

i just assumed he had his memories hidden to protect him and hide him from others

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I wonder if it's becos Conan's memory was rigged which is why he says his father went missing 14 years instead of 25

RebelVampire

leverage only works if you intend to keep someone alive tho. so i mean hes leverage for din maybe, but not for pascal

or the king

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Like I feel Din's statement is more legit

Amarok

Conan has the ability to hear THAT specific Daemon cause the City Daemon of Evenheim will protect its own people

meaning Conan has history in Evenheim

Kabocha

Could conan be older than people think?

Mahotou

Din's the kidnapper and Pasc is trying to kill Conan. he's targeted not to be ransom but to be killed. why's he a threat?(edited)

Amarok

reinforced by the mark on Dins back, the same mark on Conan's Watch, and the same mark hanging above Evenheim's gate

Lyall

maybe conan isn't a real person

Respheal

Suddenly we've got a D.Gray-Man situation if he's older than people think xD

RebelVampire

yeah i think conan has some sort of high station in evenheim at least

Kabocha

'cause Conan was born in Evenheim, or so we think... There's gotta be some record of it -- so Felix being missing mysteriously for 25 years would be a little odd, eh?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

rip

Kabocha

unless Evenheim doesn't keep records

Amarok

im thinking Felix or at least the Renaud family used to be in control of Evenheim

Kabocha

OOPS OUR PUBLIC RECORDS GOT BURNT DOWN

Respheal

LOL

Lyall

well if he's assumed dead and had a different name it's easy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

brb gonna food.

:3

Mahotou

my guess is that while felix went missing, he had conan. so conan knew he was around cuz he was living with his dad

RebelVampire

yeah

thats how i interpreted the 14 vs 25 thing

is that din didnt know where he was

but conan did

Kabocha

oh god, conan's dad was one of those sovereign citizen guys wasn't he

Respheal

oh lord

Kabocha

that's the REAL reason Conan has missing memories

RebelVampire

it couldve been conan's mom who was from the affluential family. felix is just some bum

Kabocha

his mom was dying of stress of his dad saying "you can't put me on trial here because that flag is wrong"

Lyall

i hope

his dad is incredibly good looking(edited)

RebelVampire

http://www.galebound.com/cast/

hes the bottom right guy

Lyall

oh geezus

Mahotou

that cast page is a good resource

Lyall

he is

i don't care if he's an asshole he's my new second fave

Respheal

xD

Lyall

looks like you got a bro conan

pascal

Respheal

I had fun with some of these descriptions lololol

Mahotou

Too good for this cruel world

Lyall

like

pascal looks more like felix's son than conan does

maybe pascal was given conan's real appearance to protect conan

since pascal can protect himself

and is loved less

Amarok

Pascal isnt smart enough to be a decoy

Respheal

His murderin' pants

Amarok

xD

Lyall

maybe pascal is a clone

a magic clone

Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice

I am finally home, so I ahve to say this

RebelVampire

pascal is too good for this world and wait a second pascal has green eyes

Amarok

he gets back to the king after completing the task

Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice

So that horse might be a person

Lyall

maybe the horse is felix

Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice

That was my crack theory for the longest time

Respheal

wat

Lyall

felix is an animagus

Kabocha

he's a cat.

Amarok

"congratulations captain murderpants on a job well done" "but im only a lieutenant" "I just promoted you"

Lyall

felix the cat

har har har

Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice

Alright now I got that here I'm gonna poof, I feel like dying sorry qwq

Lyall

kay~! laterz Feather~!

Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice

But yes, my crack theory was the mare was a person who happens to be the true heir and all the jazz

Respheal

Hahahaha drop in to post that crack theory and then poof out xDD

Alrighty see ya o/

Lyall

don't you mean

Respheal

Get feelin better

Lyall

true mare

Kabocha

during the dark hour, Artemis was a ... night mare

I'll see myself out thank you

Respheal

But yes, that's where Pascal got the cinnabon part of his nickname

RebelVampire

i wonder if its telling that felix and conan have middle names but the others dont. is this an indication of their fancy O_O

Lyall

mark of royalty

or pretentious namers

Respheal

Bit of a family tradition

Conan's grandpa's name is Matthias, and his great-grandpa would've been a Lucas

And on it goes

Lyall

ooooooooh

i drank way too much caffeine today

Kabocha

If Conan isn't ejected from the gene pool

Respheal

lol

Kabocha

his kid should probably have the name "felix" at some point(edited)

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S A SECOND CHILD

Lyall

conan's real name is Felix Jr.

RebelVampire

then the second child is banished

there can only be one

Respheal

xDDD

Kabocha

this is why pascal wants to kill conan

Lyall

how spartan

but conan is younger

Kabocha

Conan was the favorite.

:3

Lyall

but he doesn't dress as well

Kabocha

Clearly not.

Lyall

fashion too important

Kabocha

his dad was a hobo. Lyall

no he's wearing an ascot

Mahotou

that's why conan was hidden away as a stable boi

Lyall

hobos don't wear ascots

Kabocha

Din's sleeping on the ground right now

and he was in an alley with a blanket and probably a hobo then :'3

Din is King Hobo.

Lyall

no he was poor then

and sleeping on the ground is necessity

Kabocha

So you mean Din had a whirlwind of success?

Mahotou

he travels on foot and by caravan. sounds like a bumkin

Lyall

no din sold his soul to the devil of the story

Respheal

To be fair, Maho, they haven't gotten around to trains yet xD

Kabocha

Really, that part of things had to be a breeze.

Mahotou

so Res, how's din's soul looking on that pedistal?

Respheal

owo

Kabocha

Wait, if Din sold his soul to a devil...

Where is Rex.

Lyall

everywhere always

Mahotou

lol

Kabocha

it all comes back to freaking Rex.

Respheal

I'm gonna start responding to theory questions with a kyubey expression

Mahotou

yey!

Kabocha

"Wanna make a contract?"

Lyall

rex is a terrible bad guy, i hope res did better than that, hahah

RebelVampire

on a more serious note din said that theyre after "felix or his heir" so does that mean they knew felix only had one kid or that there can only be one heir so if felix had more kids it doesnt matter?

Lyall

gawd I hope Felix had a whole bunch of kids

Respheal

Good question!

Lyall

his kitten litter

Respheal

Din:

Lyall

Felix: Find them all Din, now find me

Respheal

THIS ISN'T POKEMON LOL

THERE IS NO CATCH 'EM ALL

xD

RebelVampire

this is why felix left. he has to go around the world having kids

Lyall

Felix: Sorry Din, my duty in life is to make babies with every one i meet

Kabocha

oh god

Respheal

omg xD

Lyall

Felix: I must share the beauty that is I

Kabocha

Felix's theme song is now Vanilla.

(by Gackt)

Lyall

rather Booty Call

Respheal

-dies-

Amarok

welp gotta go for now

Respheal

Awww, see ya! o/

Amarok

i may be back

Lyall

Bye Amarok~! Thank you for coming~!

Respheal

Thanks for joining :D

Ah heck

You guys are asking good questions though >:3

RebelVampire

thanks for coming Amarok~!

Lyall

i know nothing about Felix but he is now a full time player in my mind

Respheal

And have grazed a fair number of truths(edited)

Lyall

the horse was conan's mother all along

RebelVampire

i think we could also ask why now? like theyve not cared for 25 years about felix but now theyre like "welp better go assassinate him"

Mahotou

maybe they were looking for him for 25 years tho maybe the question is, who let slip that felix has a boy in the horse land(edited)

Lyall

his gambling debt got too high

RebelVampire

thats true it mightve just take 25 years

yeah thats an equally valid question

why do they suddenly know about conan

Lyall

omg he looks like Loki from Matantei Loki Ragnarok there

RebelVampire

did felix send them a letter and was like "hey guys just want to tell you i definitely dont have a secret son in this location."

Lyall

http://www.absoluteanime.com/mythical_detective_loki_ragnarok/loki.jpg

cause it's obscure

Respheal

Definitely don't go to the ranch in Norin that has a sign saying "Renaud Ranch". No one of interest there.

Kabocha

:'3

RebelVampire

His name is definitely not conan either.

Kabocha

Felix goofed up there

Lyall

good going felix

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

what I miss?

Lyall

felix not smart, just lucky

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh?

RebelVampire

were talking about why everyone came to get conan now instead of earlier

Respheal

I think we were talking about why people are after Felix and Conan

Yeah

Lyall

yus

Respheal

3. Conan himself is rather strange with having a rare ability to hear city daemons. He also has suggested there are important things he may have forgotten. Why or what is Conan that makes him as much a target as his father? Is there are a reason he seems to have hidden abilities? Has he forgotten something that will later be pivotal to the story?

-copy-pastes the question-(edited)

-cuz I kinda forgot what the question was too-

xD

Kabocha

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Lyall

Icanfinallydotext OTL

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh

RebelVampire

throws confetti for draco

Kabocha

Answering this question is hard

Lyall

i always assumed conan was a prince

RebelVampire

i definitely think whatever conan forgot is important

Lyall

or something to that effect

RebelVampire

cause of the amulet

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's an outsider prince

Kabocha

Conan forgot his mom.

Lyall

prince of demons

prince of pizza

Respheal

wat

Kabocha

Like, seriously, that lady in the flashback

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

they have pizza?

RebelVampire

Din: Conan what do you remember about your mother? Conan: ....I have a mother?

Lyall

do they have pizza?

i've no idea

Kabocha

LOL

Respheal

Probably something LIKE pizza

Lyall

omg conan that's sad

Respheal

Aww

Lyall

Conan: Wait, what's a mother

Respheal

OH NO

Kabocha

CONAN WAS BORN IN A TEST TUBE

Lyall

Din: I am your mother

Respheal

Suddenly Lost Boy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

omg

Respheal

WAT

Mahotou

he was just talking about how he was upset that his dad didn't come to her funeral too. (edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Din is not a Damon, Draco

Lyall

it's a dark hole i can paint you

Kabocha

http://www.galebound.com/comics/2460520/067/ But no, seriously, I feel like this was really really heavily implied

RebelVampire

no i definitely think thats his mom too

Kabocha

either that or conan has an older sister

RebelVampire

in the flashback

Lyall

it's

his first wife

Kabocha

conan had a wife

Mahotou

i thought he may have forgotten what her last words were

Lyall

yus

Kabocha

omg

so he really IS older

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Lyall

conan is really a lot older than he looks

but when he was hidden he was made younger

Kabocha

add another 11 years onto that

Lyall

because he too is a magician

Respheal

Ha, add 11 years and he'd be Din's age

Lyall

shot

maybe

conan is felix

and pascal is his son

RebelVampire

i dont think were going that far into the twilight zone

Lyall

hey it can work

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

Lyall

you can connect the bridges to make it work

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Draco it's not reincarnation

Mahotou

Kabo is SO PREPARED with these images xD(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

stahp applying Zenchav logic here

Lyall

Conan: Why do you look so much worse than with your age lines

Respheal

And then suddenly Din and Conan are fraternal twins

Lyall

i can connect anything

do not take theories from me

Kabocha

@Mahotou -- no, I'm actually literally drawing this as I go

I know I said I'd prepare stuff, but I can't make this up

RebelVampire

so one thing conan definitely forgot in that flashback is the amulet cause clearly hed seen it before

Lyall

kabo super good at drawing fast(edited)

yus

and his first horse

that someone stole

:<

Respheal

Probably Parker lol

(jk)

Lyall

gdi parker

Respheal

xD

Kabocha

we need to see Parker in comic

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Kabo is like a cali

Respheal

Someday!

Lyall

yus

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

is parker cute?

Lyall

always the important question

Kabocha

parker's drunk all the time XD

Respheal

^

Lyall

:<

Respheal

He's uh.....

Lyall

that's not cute

maybe

Respheal

He's made an appearance in a lil derp comic I did for TWC

Lyall

is his first name peter

Respheal

https://respheal.tumblr.com/post/156311533421/twc-challenge-2-featuring-conan-and-his

Lyall

awww kiss him parker

when he's awake

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

aww he's a cute tubby guy RebelVampire

QUESTION 4. Din tells Conan that the reason Conan is being hunted is because of Conan’s father, Felix. What exactly did Felix do to make so many enemies? Where do you think he went? Is he dead or is he out wandering the world somewhere? Do you think Conan will run into him or is Felix’s role inconsequential?

Lyall

my eyes are tired so i read hunted as haunted

Kabocha

Felix stole a horse.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

the king's horse

Artemis is the king's horse

Mahotou

i think conan will meet with felix somewhere down the line.

Kabocha

Also, probably slept with someone's sister that he shouldnta

Lyall

well felix slept with a lot of people's significant others

Respheal

And that's when Conan punches the hell outta Felix (jk lol.....or am I?)(edited)

Lyall

UnU

RebelVampire

conan should punch felix anyway

say thanks for leaving to get milk and not coming back, dad

Lyall

Felix: Come son, let us embrace

Kabocha

So, who did Conan inherit his ahoge from?

His ma or his pa

Lyall

the pressing questions

Respheal

That's actually a good question

That I don't remember the answer to

Lyall

D:

Respheal

-looks up refs-

Mahotou

its the grandpa

Lyall

from the horse

UvU

Kabocha

OH WAIT

I know

neither. XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Felix: You shall do my bidding

takes over the underworld

Lyall

no felix that's bad

Respheal

If rank is determined by ahoge, Pascal is probably higher ranked

Lyall

lolol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh wait that's a different story

Lyall

Felix: Conan let me show you my magic bag

I hope Conan's real name is Katz

Kabocha

Yeah, Pascal would have the larger of the two ahoge

Respheal

Katz?

Mahotou

Pasc has windmill sweeping hair

Kabocha

...Those two I DID draw yesterday

Lyall

like Cat

so it's Felix and Katz

Respheal

omg

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Lyall

and a magic bag

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Felix the Katz

Lyall

do not let me name things, i'm sorry

Kabocha

How much DOES conan know about his dad

Lyall

nothing probably

how much does conan know about himself even

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Felix is probably a threat to overthrow the king which is why they want he and Conan dead

RebelVampire

well he knows hes missing

Lyall

how can you know your dad if you don't know yourself

Kabocha

that's deep.

Respheal

Well, Conan has hinted a bit as to how much he knows about his dad

Which is to say: not much

Lyall

Conan: I had a dad?

Respheal

OH NO XDDDD

Lyall

Conan: I thought I was born from these horses and Parker

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

might be fabricated

definitely fabricated memory

Lyall

yeah that's true

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

poor guy

Lyall

even if he had a memory it could be false

Kabocha

have we seen conan's belly button yet

Lyall

conan is an unreliable source for info atm

Kabocha

DOES HE HAVE A BELLY BUTTON

Respheal

........wat

xDDD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yep

Kabocha

if he's not got parents

like, if he was some sort of magical being

would he actually have one?

Respheal

Alright Conan, lift yer shirt

Lyall

does conan have abs,

the important questions

Respheal

hell yeah

Boy works on a farm all day

Lyall

10/10

RebelVampire

>v>

Lyall

work it farm boy

Mahotou

he had a nice back

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's ripped

Kabocha

Din also has a nice back.

and a nice tattoo

Mahotou

that page where he took off his shirt

#hesstrippingagain

Lyall

The tattoo is proof he sold his soul

for powah

RebelVampire

it looks more like a brand than a tattoo to me. like someone took a hot poker and put it to his back. and it went sizzle sizzle

Lyall

my first thought was what he's advertising

Mahotou

being branded gave him powerzz

Lyall

someone used din as a billboard

Mahotou

powerful slave?

Lyall

that's really a company

RebelVampire

or being branded is him being marked as magician cattle O_O

Lyall

ooooooh

Mahotou

that

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Din Works for Conan's clan

Lyall

that's what i think

Kabocha

I feel like I've seen din's tattoo somewhere in comic tho

Lyall

slave to conan's family

RebelVampire

the watch

Lyall

yus

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Pascal works for the King

Lyall

but maybe it's not the real king

RebelVampire

its the same emblem on conan's watch or looks supsiciously similar

Lyall

maybe felix was the real king, but went into hiding

that's why he's missing

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yep

maybe it was invaded

Lyall

yis

Mahotou

sht someone help me compare the watch to din's sholder

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

then King whoeverhisname is

Lyall

we shall call him Gink

King Gink

Mahotou

Gink-king?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

is scared that Conan's clan will go revenge

RebelVampire

draco you cant always just make new names by spelling backwards

Respheal

Watch: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2362830/035/ Shoulder: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2369956/040/

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

which is why he wants Felix and his heir dead

Lyall

yes I can

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL draco

Respheal

@Mahotou ^

Lyall

Conan's real name is Nanoc

maybe Felix is a robin hood type

pushed into hiding but doing good for the poor

but he looks like an ass

so i doubt it

RebelVampire

but i cant say for sure about the similarities. theyre just suspiciously similar.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

draco

Conan's mind is fabricated as to protech him

well that was kinda obvious(edited)

Lyall

yis

Kabocha

I feel like I remember seeing a comment once about some of the scenery in Evenheim and I'm like what are some of these comments talking about

cameos?

Kabocha

and other stuff

Respheal

Hahaha if it makes it easier to refer to the king Din's looking to overthrow, King Cymaria works (they go by their city-state name sometimes)

Ah yeah there were a few pages with cameos from other comics

Lyall

maybe the king is a woman

cause their name ends in A

i'm sorry i really drank too much caffeine

RebelVampire

if this is a matter of felix is the true king i still dont get why theyd wait so long to deal with him. not to mention even if he changed his name i think hed be found out cause a king being dethroned is kind of a big deal

Lyall

yeah that's true rebel

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

probably because Conan is more powerful

and they were waiting him to grow up

lel

Lyall

but maybe he's a different kind of royalty

i'm not fully theorized in the construct of the world

RebelVampire

im not talking about conan im talking about felix

Lyall

so the hierarchy of such could be different than the assumed

RebelVampire

conan wouldnt of been born yet

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

but it's related

Respheal

Conan's 22, for reference

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wait

he's 22?

Lyall

like maybe there's a different kind of royalty amongst the magician

than with the lands

Mahotou

its in the cast page too right?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

again, I didn't read anything aside the main pages

Respheal

It's fine ^^

It's all optional supplementary stuff hiding back there lol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

it's more fun to speculate that way

RebelVampire

yeah conan is 22 so he was born 3 years after din and his cohorts think felix went missing.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Felix ran away

Lyall

i want to read it all again, and the supplemental stuff :<

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

met the magician girl

lived with them for 11 years

Lyall

looks at pile of pages to draw

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

then ran away again

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

rip my theory

Lyall

would felix be din's father then

Respheal

:3

Lyall

wha

RebelVampire

so i guess felix left when conan was 8?

Respheal

Oh nah I'm just trolling with my reactions mostly xD

All of the theories have been good!

Correct

22-14=8

Wait

Lyall

bad parenting felix

Respheal

Yeah

Lyall

abandoning your son

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

psh who does that

Lyall

for the greater good

of brothels

no not you rex

get back in your hole

Kabocha

We need an icon for Felix now

Respheal

That would be the grumpiest icon

Lyall

felix joins dad of the year club

Respheal

xD

RebelVampire

you can never have enough grumpy icons

Mahotou

i think Din's grin would be more appropriate for Res.

xD

Respheal

That's like the criteria for being a Magician: have a blood-curdling evil grin

RebelVampire

i really love the pattern on pascal's shirt random

Lyall

lolololol

yus

Respheal

Pascal likes dressin up

Lyall

he wears it well

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he and din are

Mahotou

Pasc "i'm an assasin so i'm in all black but i wanna stand out and be fancy soooo RED CRAVAT"

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yiss

Respheal

LOL

Lyall

lolol

Respheal

Hahaha Pascal wears the red cravat solely cuz it matches his magic's color

He's like IT MATCHES YES

Kabocha

and his eyes!

Lyall

omg XD that dork

Kabocha

also the blood of his enemies!

Respheal

Well yeah the ring around the eyes matches their magic too

Kabocha

res, where's that stupid pic of pascal I drew

Respheal

(Din's is kinda hard to see sometimes--I gotta fix that)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I like red so I approve

Lyall

blueisbest

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

red

Lyall

blue

Respheal

>w>

Respheal

Gonna quote @Mahotou here

"WHO'S BLUE?????"

Lyall

felix?

RebelVampire

the entire comic

Respheal

Now it is! xD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

draco

Lyall

mharz

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

no

Lyall

yes

ironically mharz's name is blue and mine is red

RebelVampire

with 6 minutes left to go does anyone have any closing thoughts?

Lyall

ummm

Respheal

Since we're getting close to it, I was gonna mention what the next chapter's gonna be called

#speculation

Mahotou

OOOOOOOOOO

Kabocha

:3

Respheal

Chapter 4: Hear, Obey, Defy

:3

Mahotou

*looks at Din

RebelVampire

rip conan

Lyall

din gonna disobey

tsks

it's okay din

i support you

kill him if necessary

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

be free Din, be free

Lyall

yus

free your genie bond

Respheal

Hahaha funny you should mention that

Din -> djinn

Lyall

oh i noticed

Respheal

xD

Lyall

and then i forgot

Respheal

LOL

Lyall

but now i remember

Kabocha

When's Din gonna have another slasher smile?

RebelVampire

but were all assuming it means din gonna betray conan i think. it could be that they cross the bridge, someone is like "din you take that boy to the king gosh" and then din is like no go jump off a bridge

Lyall

look at din

of course he's going to betray him

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I trust Din

with my pennies

Respheal

:3

RebelVampire

i trust artemis

Lyall

I trust din to do what's right for the story

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Artemis is best

Lyall

i trust din to do what's right for din too

unless

he forms a really really strong bond with conan

which could happen

but he does not have that atm

Respheal

Hahaha I will say, a lot of you were SERIOUSLY on the right track

I was screaming

xD

Lyall

it was the horse theory wasn't it

Respheal

Yes

You caught me

Lyall

felix is a horse

Respheal

Conan's mom never died, she's been the horse all along

Lyall

just horsing around

RebelVampire

to be fair tho if din wants to overthrow the king its not to his advantage yet to betray conan if conan is some necessary component

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Din wants to be king

RebelVampire

i approve of King Din

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

overthrows the king first then makes conan the king

Lyall

i feel like a lot of the story pieces are still missing for me to make a real judgement on who's right and wrong

Lyall

I support king Din 100%

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

then overthrow conan

Lyall

i want a picture of king Din

Kabocha

Res was totally blown away by the theories.

Respheal

Yeah, that's the thing--there is a LOT of missing info right now

Lyall

i feel he'd be very lelouch

Respheal

More info will come of course.....but then that might just spawn MORE QUESTIONS

-evil laugh-

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gonna wait until chapter 10

Lyall

d'aaaaw

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Likes to pile up things

Respheal

Oh heck chapter ten's gonna be nuts

Lyall

res so good at keeping spoilers

Respheal

.....so is every chapter up to that but y'know

RebelVampire

Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. Today we are discussing Aether Eternius by Novasiri~! (https://tapas.io/series/Aether-Eternius) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~! With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yay!

Novasiri

Oh boy, this outta be fun. <3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

let's see...

I like that part when Mak throwed a temper tantrum and turned red

Novasiri

Dawww, when they got pissed at Aion?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yes

I wonder how many colors can they be?

Novasiri

I had a lot fo fun planning, and eventually drawing that scene too. Originally Mak didn't change color, that was a more last minuet decision.

They change color based off feeling extreme emotions. So, all the colors of the rainbow. -uo(edited)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

gah i have to look up names >.>

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ooooh would love to see that

her hairstyle changed a bit too

really cool aesthetics there

XD

RebelVampire

i hope mak never has a crush on someone and becomes green with jealousy. thatd be very embarrassing

Novasiri

I'm glad ;u;

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

that would be so obvious

Novasiri

Oh my gosh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

XD

Novasiri

There's always Evny. -uo

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

mine is any scene with isilmo in it... all the extra dialog and little thought bits were very amusing

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I hope all the colors will be shown eventually

Novasiri

they will.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Isilmo is so cute

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

especially the "no licking" lol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

RebelVampire

i liked the scene with madda-rakt cause i felt it was a mix of being both intimidated and underwhelmed cause madda-rakt was so polite

Kabocha

I pretty much love any scene with Aster. Gimme giant awkward starry person -- they're pretty nifty, I think.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL that

XD

wishjacked

Haha that temper part with Mak was my fave, too!! It had all the best things-- fun colors, snarky Ira, jerks getting mauled

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

poor them

Kabocha

Also Ira is pretty fun too.

Novasiri

I'm glad I got an underwhelmed vibe with Madda-Rakt. It was the ideal point. Since their focus isn't supposed to be intimidating.(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis Ira

also Nova, I'm glad you made the texts larger in the recent pages. One of the reasons why I took so long to read was trying to consume all the texts. XD

Novasiri

Yeah, it's a big reason I also plan to redo the first two chapters; increase text size.

wishjacked

BUT ALSO, OH, I love all the scenes with Umbrage!! They're kinda dadlike with their dialogue but also. So strong. Love it

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yeah i had to zoom in on every panel in the beginning

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

totally glad I took the time to re-read it yesterday

Kabocha

I didn't find it too much of a problem, but I also read stuff on a huge-ish monitor?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legit took me 2 hours

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

its easier for me to read on my phone... since i normally binge read before beds

Novasiri

I'm glad you like umbrage, Chloe. They're very much the big, intimidating, dad character

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Umbrage is so adorable

Kabocha

(also, Isilmo? The dragon? more please)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus!

Novasiri

there will be more isilmo soon. XD (And he's getting his own side comic)(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I never expected them to be so nice since you know, the initial description is that they maul people

RebelVampire

i agree with the others that the pages were a little smallish for text. not unreadable by any lengths. but it did take a while to get through.

Novasiri

They did maul people tho. :3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah but only bad people

Novasiri

Yeah, it's definitley on the list of 'needs rework'

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

but let me say what i've said a million times before... nova you have the BEST character designs!

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

they were so nice to Mak

Novasiri

sdjfhjkl

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yus

totally adore those character designs

and the sparkels

Novasiri

Thank you so much

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

even inspired me to do better with mine

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

so far my fav is Umbrage, Ira, and Mak

would totally love to be buddies with Umbrage

wishjacked

SAAAAME the character designs are all SO UNIQUE AND APPEALING,,,,, hashtag goals

Novasiri

Umbrage would be good buddies, just not Aion.(edited)

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

would give umbrage all the hugs ^^

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

Aion is jerk

RebelVampire

i like how the elemental types are all really unique in design but also share thematic similarities

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

Novasiri

Ah, you noticed that? I'm glad.

Kabocha

STAAAAAAAARS

wishjacked

I was a lil surprised by how good and kind Umbrage was, too, but I actually really liked it?? Like, PLOT TWIST, this fella mauls people BUT they're also totally a good guy! surprise!

Loved that

Novasiri

Each element has it's own aesthetic, but there are things that fit them together as a species.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ALL THE STARZ

Novasiri

Voids and their staaarrsss. XD

Kabocha

Sorry, I rather like stars, so y'know

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus

Novasiri

ilikestarsalottoo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yisss

stars and sparkels

Novasiri

Umbrage was a big twist of a character. I wanted to keep their personality in the dark, so when we finally met them, it was a shock.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

well you did a good job there

Novasiri

Just like how we thought Aion would have been the good guy, but turned out to be a total sleezeball

wishjacked

I think it really worked!!

Novasiri

It's also a parody of the whole Light = good, Darkness = Bad

RebelVampire

im not sure i assumed aion was a good guy because arrogance is not exactly a positive trait

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

not really I really thought Aion is a jerk from the start

Kabocha

@RebelVampire I agree. XD But then again, you could be a jerk with a heart of gold

I'm glad that wasn't the trope in play

Novasiri

Interesting, cause a lot of people liked Aion at first XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Umbridge is I thought really some kind of monster who mauls random creatures

Novasiri

Nah, Aion ripped the gold out of themself(edited)

Kabocha

lmao umbridge

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I see

I read that XD

Novasiri

Umbrage is an interesting one though, but I'm glad you guys like them over Aion.

Means you'll hate me less in the coming chapter

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

RebelVampire

in the coming chapter where theres a happy ending for everyone and they all use mak's color changing ability to have a rave party?

Novasiri

Pfffffhh XD

Ah, a happy ending would be nice.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Mak turns into a disco ball

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol rebel

Novasiri

We'll get to see Mak strobe eventually, in Act 3. It's a while off, and its more trauma induced

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

don't kill umbrage

Novasiri

:3

Kabocha

... o_o

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i also love how easily it is to get immersed in the world

the backgrounds and scenery really pulls you in

Kabocha

Strobing? like... is this going to be animated

Novasiri

I'm going to attempt it. Yes

Kabocha

>:D

EXCELLENT.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

something like this

Novasiri

More like glitching trainbow

Kabocha

I'm imagining a single page of Mak on a black or transparent background. just.... all the colors

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

would be awesome

XD

Novasiri

But it'll be cool, horrifying, but cool.

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

I forgot this started around this time

Novasiri

But expect animated bits, at least gif wise in act 3(edited)

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

I love the comic, still reading it so I don't know much and am slow at reading it

wishjacked

I can't believe nova is threatening her characters right here in the chat and nobody is screaming yet

Novasiri

Awww, take your time~

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

So far the characters are very expressive

Novasiri

Chloe... you have no idea the horrors that await

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

screms

Kabocha

eh, everyone threatens their characters

and if Draco's around, spoilers get dropped

Novasiri

XD

Kabocha

It is the way of comic tea party. :3

Novasiri

I'm keeping it as vague as possible~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

its in the by-laws xD

Novasiri

But i may drop a few hints if anyone has specific questions

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

draco = spoiler

the elf

Novasiri

Phineas?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's shuspishus

wishjacked

LALALALALALA NOPE THEYRE ALL GOOD THEYRE HAPPY THEY LIVE IN A BIG HAPPY HOUSE TOGETHER NOVA

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

Novasiri

Good

-pats chloe-

Cause he's gonna get a rather large reveal here very soon

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that part when Madda Rakt talked to him. There's something going on.

Novasiri

So you may hate him more, or feel really bad for the guy

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LEGASP

wishjacked

ohhhh

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i am just very suspicious of him

Kabocha

Phineas is responsible for the entire plot

Novasiri

Mmmmmm rrrrrr.... You're on the right-ish track.

Kabocha

OH NO

Novasiri

But he's not personally responsible

Kabocha

I was just guessing o_o

Novasiri

But something involving him is.

Kabocha

oh dear

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

Kabocha is best guesser

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OGM

Kabocha

Apparently lmao

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Kabo is scary

Novasiri

But it also has to do with a character showing up soon.

Kabocha

So he's prolly partly at fault for the trauma Mak's gonna go through ain't he

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp x2

Novasiri

The hint is already in the comic, more so on ch4's cover page. As for Mak, no, the trauma comes a bit later and for a different reason.

Kabocha

(now for the out there part) ...Mak is secretly Phineas' future son.

Novasiri

And it has to do with Gavin, who was mentioned by Aion.

Nope. XD

Kabocha

I had to throw a really bad one in there.

Novasiri

Lol it's okay

Tbh that'd be so much nicer/happier than what Mak's background actually is.

Kabocha

I look forward to learning more about Gavin a bit more though.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

cheks the cover

Novasiri

We'll get a lot of it soon.

Kabocha

It's kind of interesting seeing how much of a hot-button that is for Mak. It's like, dude.

Mak, it can't be thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat bad can it? (clearly it is)

Novasiri

For them it is, of course. XD

Mak's insecure enough as it is, after all. :3

RebelVampire

QUESTION 2. At the beginning of Chapter 2, the Matter Lord, Madda-Rakt, pulls aside Phineas. In their private conversation, they refer to Phineas as a “magister” and accuse Phineas of potentially tricking Makumbo. While Phineas assures Madda-Rakt he isn’t “working for them” anymore, Madda-Rakt’s suspicions are not allayed. Who or what do you think magisters are? Why would this cause Madda-Rakt to assume Phineas was trying to hurt Makumbo?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

awww poor Mak

Novasiri

Speaking of which

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Yis Phineas is suspicious

squints

Kabocha

Don't trust elves, yo

Novasiri

Pffh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think their intention is to kill null primordials

Novasiri

it isn't, anymore.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

personally i think he was one of those undercover spy types who betrayed somekind of useful information at some point

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp\

O_O

wishjacked

wHat

Kabocha

Mak also doesn't want phinease touching him? WHAT DID YOU DO PHINEAS

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh yeah

Novasiri

Mak's got personal space issues, and doesn't enjoy being touched in general. But Phineas... Mharz is on the right track, but something happened to make that change

Kabocha

wow I can't type

@Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies -- welp.

Novasiri

And such a job wasn't personal choice either.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think Phineas is an assassin who's mission is to kill Mak

Novasiri

I could have been, but something happened~ :3

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

nah i actually think he's trying to right his past wrongs now...though im still suspicious

Novasiri

good deduction AE~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe he was tasked to kill all the nulls

Novasiri

Not nessicarily just nulls, but there is a reason for that.

And it has a lot to do with 'Them'.

Kabocha

dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

legasp x3

Novasiri

XD

RebelVampire

i feel like the best assumption is that the magisters were partly responsible for the shattering

Novasiri

Bingo~

Kabocha

So, is Casmir just not so fond of Aster because of Aster's silence?

or is there history

Novasiri

there's history between the two.

Which will be shown eventually

Kabocha

>:3c

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wonders what that book thing Madda Rakt gave to Phineas

Novasiri

-whispers- it's actually a tracking device.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gasp

huh interesting

Kabocha

nobody trusts phineas

Novasiri

And nobody should. :3

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wow

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

he's absoulutely suspicious

Novasiri

As I said, the coming pages will determine most peoples outlook on Phineas. you'll either hate him outright, or feel bad for him.

Cause there's blood on those hands.

RebelVampire

i trust phineas.....to put some pizza rolls in the microwave for me to eat.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh no blooooood

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

waits for a couple of months... screms

hopefully he didn't poison the pizza

Novasiri

XD

Kabocha

:3

the pointier the ears, the less you should trust 'em

Novasiri

Pffffh

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Kabo, your Aster has pointy ears..

Kabocha

:3

WELP.

Novasiri

XD

But yes, I'd personally say trusting Phineas is typically not the best solution, at this moment in time.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL nope

wouldn't trust him to carry stuffs

Novasiri

XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

or anything really

Novasiri

But his past will come back and bite him in the ass, eventually.(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

hopefully Kana keeps him in check or something

Novasiri

And it's still up in the air if he lives or not

-minor spoiler-

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

ooooo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gasp

totally looking forward to eet

RebelVampire

phineas has to live long enough for his past to be revealed

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

gonna wait for the pages to pile up

Novasiri

Mhmm.

He will live long enough for that. XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yeah it will be the life flashing before his eyes type of thing XDDDD

Novasiri

Hahaha nooo, it'll be slow.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OMG

Novasiri

and grueling

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Nova so sadist

LOL

Novasiri

:3

RebelVampire

i felt a bit sad that after dragging phineas and kana with, mak had to end up alone anyway

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yeah

Novasiri

Mhmm, part of it was to show Mak's actual self away from the rest, the other part was also to give some material for the side comic(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'm also curious how Kana is related to Mak when she's human and Mak is primordial

Tho Ira did asked before how old is Mak when they "died"

Novasiri

Well you don't need to be blood related to be family~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

true

Novasiri

But kana met Mak after they had died.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I'm curious how did Kana wound up in the shattered lands

Novasiri

She actually followed Makumbo there.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh

I was thinking the outsiide world is lilke earth

where there's no magical mumbo jumbo happening

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol read 'mumbo' as 'makumbo'

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LMAO

RebelVampire

hmmm

then who is this older brother that kana mentioned that gave mak timo?

Novasiri

the Earth Kana and Mak come from actually does have magic, infact it's canonically the Earth in my friends comic, #Wafflefry

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

oh

Novasiri

The older brother is actually a secret. -uo(edited)

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh interesting

Novasiri

Yeah, I'm a sucker for interconnecting worlds.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

me too

Novasiri

As for the older brother, their name is actually Theodore. They will not be freatures by name or image in the comic however.

This is due to the fact that Kanami is created by a friend of mine, who gave me full permission to use the character. Theodore is also owned by someone else, but they did not give me permission to have him in the comic. Simple as that.

So they're more mentioned in passing.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh wow

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that's really cool! wow

Novasiri

Many threads, yus~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

must be real nice to have webcomic friends that you can connect universes to

XD

Novasiri

But a lot of the past between Kana and Mak will be explained in act 3 specifically

As with the reveal of why mak died

And what caused the Shattering to begin with

So.. lots of bomb shells

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

ogm and we're still in act 1

wishjacked

Hey, made it back, sorry!!

Novasiri

Welcome back Chloe~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

how many chapters in an act?

Novasiri

at least 4-5 chapters

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I see

Novasiri

Act 1 is exactly 5 chapters

wishjacked

Oh, I'm SO INTERESTED in knowing how the primordials and afterlife work in this world....

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yus!

Novasiri

We'll get a lot of that Chloe, in the next act

A lot of that

but if you have specific questions, you can ask about it

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i wonder what the null lands looked like

Novasiri

with the rework of ch1/2 we'll see breif glimpses of what it is now, AE.

wishjacked

the worldbuilding seems to be built a lot on death and I really want to know how it ties together hahaha.

Novasiri

Cause i'm adding a scene or two

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. The comic’s world is vastly characterized by the Shattering, which greatly damaged the Planes and resulted in Null being wiped out completely. Despite Makumbo being reborn as the new Null Lord, though, there is still much chaos present. Why do you think Makumbo, of all people, became a Null? Does the Shattering have anything to do with why seemingly new primordial types are coming into existence? What do you think happened to the All-Father who was partly responsible for the Shattering?

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

yay

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe mak is a reincarnation of the All-Father ./shots

Novasiri

Ooohhh man...

Nah Mharz, that lazy ass is still around somewhere

Kabocha

...in pieces?

Novasiri

Noooo ouo

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh I see

Novasiri

I am curious to hear the theories tho.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

really a lazy ass?

Novasiri

The All Father's identiy has been hinted at, you jsut gotta read between the lines a bit. -uo And put together some dots

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

for some reason i feel like null has some kind of bigger purpose in the grand scheme of things...something more than the other primordials....something that is contrary to what we think when we think of the word null

almost like a balance

Novasiri

Good guess~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

or constant

Kabocha

IT'S PHINEAS

wishjacked

well I hate to keep beating my death horse this but my theory is that the null lord creation has something to do with type a of death

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

damn

XD

Kabocha

(no, I know it's not)

Novasiri

Chloe

on the nose

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Mak was a human initially before turning into a Null lord

Novasiri

A lot of primordials are, however. Including Dunkan. But he's a Void. -uo

but Chloe is on the right track, how, when, and why you die make a BIG difference

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

that's very interesting

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wut 0.0 omh

omg*

Novasiri

I'm actually alowed to spoil this, as it's world building, not so much integral completly to the story.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wishes I can make stories as twited as that

Novasiri

Primordials are created from a certain type of soul.

A 'Lost' soul.

A soul that's unfit for their determined afterlife

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

your allowed to spoil what you want...its your story XDDDDD (couldn't resist)

wishjacked

EEEEEEEEEEEE??

Novasiri

How they died, who they were, how old they were all play factors into what element they become

Null has very, specific, parameters

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wow that's REALLY neat

wishjacked

OK THAT WAS PART OF MY GUESS TOO

Novasiri

Very.. grim... parameters

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yis

wishjacked

YIKES

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

flails!! more excited now

Novasiri

Because for a Null to be formed, it has to be a childs soul.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

null and void makes me think of programming. XD

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh no how sad

Novasiri

So we're talking someone has to be below the age of 10, even stillborn... and has to not just die, but their soul has to be lost to the unknown. Which is extremely rare as many 'gods' tend to shelter these types of souls.

So something usually goes 'wrong' when a Null forms

RebelVampire

hmm that does give context for why ira auto thought to ask mak how old they were when they died

Novasiri

Mhmm

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

isn't Mak 11 when they died?

Novasiri

Makumbo was no exception to the rule, however, HOW he died played a major part in why he's a Null.

And yes, he was.

But

wishjacked

My theory was that the reason null has so few souls is because the death is so rare and bizarre. But I couldn't think of why the previous null lord would be much more impressive than Mak (according to freaking Aion) if they were both children's souls

Novasiri

Again, the hows kick into play here.

wishjacked

AWWW BABY

MAK

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh interesting

Novasiri

I will spoil it here, but only here.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

is on the edge of her seat

Novasiri

Makumbo's parents were researchers, specifically on the element of Null.

wishjacked

someone give this Lord a cup of cocoa and a warm blanket stat

ohhhHhhooooooooooo

Novasiri

At the age of 6, he was disowned for not being adept in magic.

And then used as a living experiment

to artificially create a Null Primordial

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

WHOA

thats CRAZY

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

wow

Novasiri

Now, Primordial energy + A living body is bad, really bad.

It literaly turnes into a cancer

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Nova spilling all the stuffs

Novasiri

And eats ytou from the inside out

wishjacked

I was about to say I was really glad to be in this server so I can get all the spoilers but I just changed my mind this is the worst I'm cry

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

ouch

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

we do have a spoiler chat

Novasiri

So Makumbo actually 'died' internally, but was kept alive through artifical means.

wishjacked

nova dude

Novasiri

:3

Makumbo's actualy death was around the age of 8, but it took 3 more years for the energy build up to finally go nuclear.

Which it did.. and wiped out the complex, and his family..

And essentiallym freeing him. But he was concious the whole time.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OMG

wishjacked

my poor baby

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

that sounds majorly tramatic

Novasiri

It's gonna be fun to depict in the comic when the time comes. But yeah.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

and traumatizing

RebelVampire

well this got dark

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Rebel brings the popcorn

wishjacked

brb I'm going to hell the beat his parents into jelly

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

it got DEEP

Novasiri

that explosion of null magic is what alerts Kana to Makumbo's location, she tracks him down, and it's how they meet; she winds up smuggling him to america to protect him.

And hilariously only reason Kana was close enoug to see it, is because she was being a brat and testing demolition tools

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

Novasiri

But yeah....

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol brats ftw

Novasiri

And to think, that's just Mak's death... It's no where near as bad as Gavin's.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

brb

Novasiri

which i will not be spoiling

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

no wonder Mak is so timid

RebelVampire

gavin melted in a pool of acid for 100 years

Novasiri

But enough about my blabing, back to the question at hand. XD

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

i think this atmosphere just inspires spoilers x3

Novasiri

XD

there's some things I won't spoil, like the All-Father's identity. That you have to figure out yourselves

As for Astrov and Zenith, aka Possitive and Negative. It does have to do with the shattering in a way.

More of a by-product of the Planes trying to 'fix itself'.

Not saying the whys and hows, but it does have to do with one another.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i love their clothing

Novasiri

Thank you, their inspiration is very heavily on 'Life' and 'Death' thematics

RebelVampire

so if astrov and zenith are a byproduct of the planes trying to fix themselves, this makes me wonder if theyll be okay if void and null are restored to proper order. since if theyre sort of fixed their existence may no longer be needed.

Novasiri

-eyebrow waggles-

And we'll get to see what happens, eventually~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh noooo not one of those sad fading into the midst ending scenes cries

Novasiri

hahaha no, none of that

There will be fighting, and bickering, and probably some deaths

Kabocha

comes back to holy crap spoilers

Novasiri

XD

Kabocha

MAK YOU PRECIOUS LIL THING

Novasiri

It's most character spoilers, not major plot spoilers, so I'm more okay with some things coming out

Gavin's stuff is major plot spoilers, so... I be hush hush

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

spoilers are spoilers...we take whatever we can get XD

RebelVampire

as for all-fathers identity....my first guess would be ira cause despite ira calling all-father lazy for jumping ship and leaving everyone to clean the mess up, ira seems to have mysterious goals, can change form, and somehow paralyzed aion. but i feel that may be too obvious of a guess and theres plenty of flaws to the idea. theres another guess i may make but i need to check something first

Novasiri

Hmmmm~

Kabocha

I look forward to learning more about Gavin. This would probably explain why Mak reaaaaaaaaally hates getting compared.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oh interesting thought rebel

Kabocha

And hm. Ira as the all-father? I'll hop on that train.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i actually hadn't thought about who it might be

Kabocha

though Ira seems a little... irate about having to clean up after him.

Novasiri

Hmmm indeed~

I'm choosing to be silent here, cause I know.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

RebelVampire

but at the same time ira is sort of cleaning up after him by helping mak

so i could argue that the all-father is cleaning up his mess just in secret sort of an in a hands off way

and in disguise cause if i was a primordial i dont think id be too happy with all-father

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i actually like this thought

Novasiri

So hard to hold my tongue right now

It's very hard

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hahahaha

Novasiri

Please continue tho

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hands nova superglue >.>

Kabocha

Ira's just watching, though. I dunno, I suppose we'd have to see how it goes. ....Also how likely is Phineas to get severely injured by the guy tailing them?

Novasiri

Very likley

Kabocha

Madda has NO trust in the guy

Novasiri

Almost guarenteed

Kabocha

losing a limb?

Novasiri

une is very, very dangerous.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

Ira seems to have a very suspicious power they used at Aion

Novasiri

Mhmm~

RebelVampire

QUESTION 4. Act 1 is focused on Makumbo helping Madda-Rakt pick a new Void Lord. However, the choices are pretty slim. Makumbo can either pick the pompous Aion or the bestial Umbrage. Who do you think will become the new Void Lord? Speaking of which, what does Ira have to do with everything that’s going on in regards to Void? Is Ira just that helpful or is Ira up to something?

wishjacked

I bet the mimic is the all-father. XD

Novasiri

LOL, nawww. Timo is just timo~

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

would love it to be umbrage personally

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

umbrage!

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

umbrage is so adorbs

Kabocha

Umbrage seems more fitting to do the job at hand

Novasiri

XD A fun tid bit, originally I was planning to host a Patron poll to determine who would become the Void lord, however, this has now been set in stone, and chapter 5 will be the deciding method of who gets the job. But it's not about to be on a handshake.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

oooo

Novasiri

one of them is going to die.

Kabocha

plz be aion

and plz be explodey

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

was thinking that at some point Aion and Umbrage would merge

LOL

Novasiri

It will also be the first introduction on death for Primordials.

Cause it's not good.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

that would be cool to see mharz

Novasiri

You'd be on the right track, Mharz. However neither will be going down without a fight.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

omg

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

0.0

Novasiri

The death is more along the lines of the personality dying, while the other reabsorbs the power.

Chapter 5 is literaly a giant Duel.

Kabocha

well then

they get the power but not the decency

or asshattery

Novasiri

Not going to say who wins, however.

Also breif BRB, pizza just got here.

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yay pizza

don't let Phineas touch it

Novasiri

I may not be back by the time it concludes, but if I don't, I'll still hang out to answer questions if you'd like to ask them

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

waits for a year for all pages to be posted

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

dont let silver touch the pizza either XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

nah Silver will just eat the pizza

all of them

if she can eat

RebelVampire

regardless of who becomes void lord, the question is will they be able to take on the eldritch horror thats consuming void.

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

i dont think they can do it alone

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

yee

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

mak is going to have a major role in that

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I think the three of them are, including Madda-Rakt

RebelVampire

lol im not sure i could picture madda-rakt getting that involved. they seem more like a sit in the background eat popcorn and give moral support type of person XD

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

RebelVampire

granted im sure madda-rakt is powerful

just

if madda-rakt was so forward idk why madda-rakt didnt go reign in aion and umbrage

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

hey you two can do this, I'll just sit back right here

RebelVampire

decided "man ya know whats a great idea? asking the new null lord ive never met"

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

good point

they're pretty protective at Mak too

RebelVampire

granted im sure theres reasons besides that. XD

just madda-rakt seems more likely to leave stuff to the youngins

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

unless there is something about the situation that only a null can do

RebelVampire

yes thats a possibility too

or madda-rakt is partly testing mak

thinking that null isnt going to make a comeback if the new lord sucks

Kabocha

madda said something about not being able to interfere, I think?

RebelVampire

maybe. but i take ppl saying i cant interfere with a grain of salt XD cause i find its usually a coin clip between cant and just wont

and to be fair

the story did seem to indicate that in the hierarchy of power null beats void

so there seems to be a rock paper scissors thing going on i guess?

where elementals have advantages and disadvantages against certain types

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

huh that's pretty interesting

meanwhile nova is watching while eating the pizza

RebelVampire

assuming phineas didnt get to nova first

rip

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

dang it Phineas

but I think Null is the powerful out of all them

RebelVampire

that could be too

that nulls in general just badasses

with them strobes

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

one of the reasons why they're eliminated becos probably some find them very threatening

RebelVampire

could be although gavin seemed to be pretty respected in a way?

so since theres only 9 mins left does anyone have any closing thoughts?

Kabocha

MORE ISILMO

RebelVampire

crack theory: isilmo is the all-father

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

LOL that would be best plot twist

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

OM

Novasiri

-munching cinammon sticks- :U

Kabocha

that's it, story's over

get your fire dragons to fix the world

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

I want Isilmo to grow big and strong

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

lol

Novasiri

I read up, yes, there is a sort of power-triangle, or rock paper scissors ordeal. But.. there's also a big rule. Cause a Lord can't Kill another Lord. Madda-Rakt may be pwoerful.. but they can't go after ulhamig alone, cause they wouldn't be able to kill it even if theyw anted to.

Isilmo is gonna get big... He's jsut a baby right now. When he's fully grown, he'll be the size of a clydsdayle

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

maybe Isilmo will save everyone

Novasiri

XD

RebelVampire

so does that mean mak also wouldnt be able to beat ulhamig alone?

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

also curious where Isilmo came from

Novasiri

Mhmm. Mak wouldn't be able to.

It's gonna be a combined effort.

isilmo came from an egg.. lol

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

they all are going to break the rule together?

Feather, Duke of Comedic Timing

Bookmarked the comic for later, but I really have to say I love the dynamic of the characters so far :3

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

LOL

egg

duh

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

wait wait

WAIT

Novasiri

Like... Isilmo is only 6 months old. Tops.

He's a babu

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

the wind lord seems to be a dragon too

Novasiri

Shit

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

hahahahaha

Novasiri

Forget I said that

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

O_o

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

applauds

Novasiri

-deleted it- :I

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies

O_O

Kabocha

Novasiri

Wind is a big dergon~ A special type of dergon~

AngelicEmpyress of Chromacity

Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
