Did someone f**king brand him? Does that say traitor? Yeah I wouldn’t want someone to see that either
Aria
Yep it’s a brand. they didn’t do a very neat job, he must have squirmed too much
Sage
You mean he didn’t stay perfectly still while being literally branded a traitor? Huh. Weird. I can’t imagine why.(thick sarcasm if I didn’t get that across)

Thank you! I was struggling with that first “T” and it was throwing my reading off ^^’

George Washington was a traitor in the eyes of the rulers of England. Need more information than this. The nature of the brand could mean it was gang-related (unprofessionally done). Just hairballing.
Sage
yeah, its not (clearly as of this moment) a bad thing about Ulrich. I don’t think anyone a good person if they Brand other people, no matter the circumstances. That’s pretty much on the level of torture.
*Edit* i’d even say that it gains him more points. I mean, its not a bad thing to be a traitor to bad people

The idea of it being good to be a traitor to bad people reminds of one of Churchill’s quips: “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

He had a “falling out”, where he just “vanished” for a while….didn’t he? (Or am I getting events mixed up?) Assuming that happened during that bit.
….what could possibly have happened between him and (supposed) good relations for that to be considered an appropriate response?

“Pap!” ^^ I‘m really starting to love Toulouse…
Can they bring him along toy crane style so he won’t wreck the ship and can bring joy everywhere they go? õ_o
Is that too much to ask? -_-
Aria
could put him in one of those little pod cars like they had in the Jetsons
Samantha Lott
Is it bad Im more interested in him than the main character? That dude really needs someone special in his life.
Aria
Not at all! ensemble cast babey everybody’s a protagonist
Demon
WHELP.. my theory about breasts being involved were just flat out WRONG.. But good on you my dear artist, for making me think outside the box!
Aria
A lot of people have theorized for a while now that Ulrich is trans! It’s a cool theory and I see why people might think that. While I’m super down with anybody headcanoning any of the crew as trans, I usually like to make it clear that that’s not canonically Ulrich’s Big Spooky Secret since like. Writing a character whose whole deal is being deceptive in dangerous ways, morally ambiguous, hates themself, and keeps alluding to having a terrible past Thing that will eventually catch up with them that they don’t want others to find out about is fine; having all that culminate in the SUPER TERRIFYING REVELATION that they’re trans is uh Not Great lmfao
I don’t usually like to so specifically write off an entire theory but this one potentially could be hurtfully disappointing to a lot of folks so I don’t mind clearing it up a bit early. That said tho, again, readers are more than welcome to headcanon trans stuff all they like! We’ll also be getting more canon trans folks besides Jo (and Myla, although they’re not a main character so) eventually, promise, comics are just painfully slow haha

Um, Toulouse? How many stab patients do you get that you really had to stick the “(today)” on there?
Guessing this next bit is his reliving old memories he’d really, really really rather not.
