I love how you show her reading Agatha’s “self” with the circuitry, along with the effect she has on it with the coloration. It’s such a beautiful depiction of what’s going on behind all the words and it’s one of the things I’ve always loved about this comic.

Thanks so much <33

Quite welcome. I appreciate a well-told story, especially when it is well-told through several different mediums at once.

Multiple levels of control. A being that truly knows itself is limited only by desire and patterns. As I see it playing out, it seems Agatha could have overridden the blocks on her behavior long ago. She doesn’t believe she DESERVES to. Our dear little monster saw the robot mask go back up, and knows the chains holding her to be of thinnest paper. They might as well be Adamantine from the gods, because they are not being strained against.

“Our dear little monster” is so cute i’m dying hhh. This whole comment extended my life by several years thank you very much hee

Hard to break out of a cage when you’re reinforcing it yourself.
(totally expecting a Wreck-It Ralph gif to show up as a reply….)

Oh and the circuitry weaving a spell of light around them as they ebb and flow? MASTERFUL!

Aaaah~!! Those panels! Someday, I aspire to wrap my characters in such beautiful art. I especially love the lightshow in the middle. And the cut to the birds is just touching.
… Also, that verbal stumbling, and Phin’s impassioned speech.. if there were emojis in this comment system, I would flood this with excited/sparkling eyes. I may have to drop into DC just for that 🙂 This page makes me so happy.
Aria
Thank you!! As far as the art goes, if you stay stubborn and keep at it I have complete faith that you can get to where you want. If I can get from page one to page 533 then anybody can haha

Really glad Phin didn’t force things further. Would have been getting deep into sketchy territory.
Aria
yeeeah phin has trouble with boundaries sometimes. She never MEANS to be uncomfortable she’s just. Kinda like a dog who gets too excited and starts knocking shit over and jumping up at guests lmao
