Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Perry Bible Fellowship. As Aveline says, it's on the mature side; it's often very dark, but rings pure and true when it is. (Probably my favorite example of such is "An End to Gopher Trouble," although "Better Luck" is pretty great as well.)

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Of course! Always delighted to have another worshiper, and all I ask is $19.99/month for my newsletter.
Edit -
This reminds me of my favorite depiction of summoning Cthulhu-esque monsters:
- If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants?
Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house I’d certainly notice, try to figure out where they’d all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there. That’s why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name.
And they’re like, you can’t leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals - now you have to do us a favor. And you’re like, let’s just see where this goes “yup, you got me… what’s the favor?”
and usually the favor is like, “kill this one ant for us” or “give me a pile of sugar” and you’re like… okay? and you do, because why not, it isn’t hard for you and boy is this going to be a ****ing story to tell, these ****ing ants chanting your name and wanting a spoonful of sugar or whatever.
And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can’t really do, one of them, she’s like, “I love this ant but she won’t pay any attention to me, make me important to her” and you’re like… um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper* “what have I done”Last edited by Crusher; 2019-04-16 at 01:23 PM.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Hm. How about either Gunnerkrigg Court or Paranatural for the fantasyish area? OotS is off the table due to everyone here actually reading it.
I started reading webcomics when I was fairly young (like middle school I think?) and so I have a lot of light hearted things on my list.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Did you retype a Tumblr screencap, there, or did you have a link to the original to copypaste? I've seen that around but only as screencaps, and searching for specific Tumblr posts is unreliable at best.
Though I think it's this one, unless that's a plagiarism of the original.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Wait... there was crushing to be done? Did I miss it?
But if I'm following this correctly, then I have to crush Crusher. So it's a Crusher crushing?
And Jineon, who lists themselves as a lotsey ninja under me, is also worshiping Crusher from the shadows, so I have not one, but two uprisings to crush. Truly, this will be a test of my skills and awesomeness.
The simplest solution would be to take over everything for myself, but then ruling would be so much work. I prefer to be the power behind the throne. Like Kissinger.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
And I enjoyed it so much that I copy-pasted it over to a new thread on Agnostic.com, because if any crowd can appreciate ants worshiping humans, it would be them.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Is there an in-universe explanation for why MitD's eyes can be seen through the darkness even if its magical? Or do they just work like that because reasons?

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
My theory is that we don't see his eyes at all. The things we see are only for us to know where he's looking at (or not if he's sleeping) and what are his current emotions. Like any other drawn media in pitch black, the eyes are always visible. Imagine if there was only an umbrella floating above a dark cloud; boring as hell and doesn't convey anything. We need to see his eyes to emotionally connect with MitD.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
I was perusing some obscure extra-planar creatures (none a good fit), when I suddenly had a thought:
We’ve definitely never seen a demon or whatever teleport another creature, right?
I didn’t think so, but it occurred to me that I’d always assumed it was a constraint but I’d never actually checked."You are what you do. Choose again and change." - Miles Vorkosigan

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
it was explained with quarr at least that demons (or its just the imp in particular) cannot teleport living matter (reason why the three fiends told varsuvius to kill himself so quarr teleported V head to his master)
We have seen Sabine use planar travel, thou but its not very precise.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Nah, it was a weight limit. All devil teleport are 50 on object only, but let's ignore that for the moment so I can be right.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Ah, but both of the issues are present:
Qarr can't teleport more than 50 lbs of unliving matter
* shades *
* gets punched *
Okay fine its a moot point since neither condition could be reliably met.
Incidentally, a question arises: what could the ABD do to actually hide themselves from V forever? I mean, the ABD has some pretty impressive spellcasting skills for her kind (which is already pretty high), but she isn't epic and V spent several months mastering increasingly advanced scrying skills. Surely V could find her? I don't know what V could do to go there or to kill her, but V could conceivably have do so, right?Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-04-20 at 09:57 PM.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
If her plan was to force Vaarsuvius to look for three True Resurrections to get their family back alive, traumatized by having died horribly, make Vaarsuvius hunt her down on another plane of existence for a battle before they could get their children back, and make Vaarsuvius have to think the situation through in their trance-deprived state to realize that they could ever get their children back, that was plenty cruel enough.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
I doubt her plan included getting killed by V as a contingency at any point. Like many dragons, she was probably very confident in her own abilities and sure that she could crush V anytime she wanted if she really wanted to. Since death was not supposed to be the punishment, but rather the loss of their children, my bet is that, should V have found her back, she would simply have moved to yet another plane, much like she did the first time.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Also, the V she observed was failing at finding the people she was looking for on the same plane of existence. Given how unreliable targeting a specific destination in another plane apparently is, she was probably pretty confident. Throw in a contingency spell to plane shift and she probably hide for a while.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Well im in bed nursing a killer fever, so I decided to reread some parts of the comic. I noticed that, in the strip where Redcloak explains who the 3 skeletons are (431, I have no idea how to link with my phone) MitD, recognizes the spells the huecuva casts as divine spells.
I know it doesnt add much to anything, but do the prefered candidates so far have a high spellcraft check? Can a protean (which I dislike as an option, mostly out of a gut feeling) achieve that somehow?

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Yes, the Uvuudaum has Spellcraft +56 and Knowledge (Religion) +52. That said, the Monster has been around Redcloak for a long time.
