I love this storyline!

I just want to hug Erin and Linksano so bad.

Mirrorkara, you are the worst! He ended up on a bad parallel Earth, he found a traumatised little girl crying in pain and loneliness after the death of her parents and he’s first thoughts were, ‘how can I use this to my advantage? I know! I’ll turn her into a weapon that I can use for revenge!’

“Hello sad child. Come with me and I will protect you. Also, I know you have a name already but I can’t be bothered to learn it so I’m giving you a new one.”

I was talking about this on the Reviewerverse discord before the second part came out but Mirrorkara’s treatment of Erin (does she even like that name?) reminds me of a Tumblr post I once read about respect. It was talking about some adults say things like, “If you show me respect, I will show you respect,” to children. However, what they really mean is, ‘By show me respect, I mean treat me as an authority figure who can never be question or crossed in any way and much always be treated with deference. By show you respect, I mean I will treat you with the bare minimum expected level of human decency. If you fail to do the former then I will take great pleaser in denying you the later.’

Mirrorkara only ever seemed to see Erin as a means to an end. He didn’t care about any emotionally scaring experiences she goes through, reminding her that he could make it worse for her if she didn’t toe the line.

Erin was so clearly unhappy but Mirrorkara didn’t care. He thought he was more important than anyone else and no one else really mattered. In his mind, Erin would never stop owing him for saving her life – even though he was constantly emotionally abusive to her after the fact – and made Seras for her, even though he would happily let Seras die if it suited him.

Mirrorkara talked in front of Erin about how he liked her terrible world that scared her and all the awful things he planned to do. She was expected to smile when he looked at her.

Damn, that poor Linkara clone. He was made to be subservient to Linksano, spent years in stasis and then had a short life where he was tortured to death.

I love that hope, optimism and kindness win out. Linkara wins because he makes friends, cares about people and has people who care about him in return.

It’s nice to see Jaeris coming to the rescue alone with the Comicrew.

Mirrorkara really shouldn’t have insulted Seras. Erin loves her so much. Go girl! GO! Make him pay for his words!

Harvey and 90’s Dude turn up late to the main party but are still in time for an awesome line up.

Seriously though, I really want to hug Erin and Linksano. She clearly been though so much and his little look to see if he was even welcome in the room just broke my heart.

Did… did Moarte eat Mirrorkara? I mean, he’s a ghoul so I’m guessing so.

I don’t care what anyone says, Moarte turns up every year because he likes Linkara and the Comicrew in his own way. When Linkara walked in on one of his videos Moarte just told him to get out. When Linksano used the Longbox for his own reasons Moarte just scared him away. When Linkara wants to use the room, he asks permission and Moarte lets him in. If Mirrorkara goes in, he gets eaten.

Gotta love the fear in Jaeris’ eyes when he realises Linkara is changing outfits. I’m liking the new look and I want that pin badge.
