Transcript

Ulrich:
. . . Finally decided what you really wanted to talk about did you?

Agatha:
I, it’s just. . . she kissed me.

Ulrich:
Did you want her to? Do we need to have an HR meeting?

Agatha:
Yes.
I mean I did, want it, but.
Do you think she only brought me on because she’s in love with me?
Am I like some trophy she’s afraid of breaking?
She’s worse than you are, masking,
she. . . she dims.

Ulrich:
Did seeing her un-dimmed spark some second thoughts?

Agatha:
I’ve known what she is since we fought at the gala.
She uh. . . we. . .
I knew she was this.
But she keeps freaking out when she thinks I can see her.
It feels like she keeps me at arms’ length. I’m –

Ulrich:
Far, yes?
You keep saying that.
With us but not with us?

Hmm… Can’t say she isn’t observant. Also, Ulrich… going hard on the human approach to conversation all of a sudden. Hm 0_o

Just caught up on this. You know (hopefully) my IRL stance on most of the general subject here, so let me just make this simple:

You did a fantastic job. In the perspective of this comic, this world you’ve written, everything has been very on point. The build up of self-righteousness in the community, the church service, the tension, and Phin’s outburst, it all came together very well and brought me into the center of the conflict without overly lambasting me into wholly taking one side or the other. What is the value of a god that never shows up? How much can such a being reasonably demand before it becomes unreasonable, unworthy? And how far can you go in railing against an unjust “deity” before you become just like them? It takes boldness to dare to ask this and I respect that you dared.

Plus, it is not easy to write your character into a corner like that, let them FINALLY turn loose on what they perceive as wrong or unjust, and then show in the midst of all of it that they are just as flawed as the people they condemn.

And this little tableau afterwards is a beautiful example of the kinds of things that such experiences can drag out of us. It’s a very real feeling for a very real situation. The awkwardness, the uncertainty, all of it. So very beautifully human. I could see myself in something like this holding pieces and trying to “make sense” of it all because most of it doesn’t.

Glad this is back on and I hope your recovery has gone well!

  Oh thank you so much for that <3 I'm so glad you're still around and enjoying the story and I hope you're happy with how everything eventually resolves! Next arc isn't leaning quite so hard on the real world analogs hehe
  
  Really well so far thanks! Honestly at the point I keep forgetting I'm still technically injured haha
  - Chromoid
    
    It’s alright even if it continues to lean on real-world. That’s often the best inspiration!

Love the continuing robo-steam. Love the literal cigarbox guitar. Love the conversation.
Hate that I’ve finally run out of archives and must now wait for the next page like a common pleb.

I’m loving that the music helps BOTH of them, and in ways deeper than just artistry.
