t h i s i s n e w

Lillian:
Now you stop that, let me explain,

Toulouse:
This is a new branch, s-so late in the . . .

Lillian:
Branch? You’re talking crazy again

Toulouse:
What have you done

Lillian:
Toulouse calm down why are you acting like this?

(hsss)

Lillian:
It’s not like you!

Toulouse:
Muh –

Oh dear. Oh my. Oh golly things are Happening

(Also Ulrich, do you know Agatha is fine, or are you just trying to keep Phineas from exploding long enough to figure what’s happening. My guess is the first one, but there’s always a question)
Allen Charest

Ooooh, grandma, that thing you’ve been using to hurt other people is very dangerous, and it seems like you’re the only one who hasn’t noticed it might be dangerous to you. Toulouse looks like it’s going to destroy him, Phineas isn’t happy watching something that bad happen to anyone, and Ulrich has turned his back to deal with something more important. This is going to be messy.

I love this page. Conveys perfectly how hectic the everything is while also making it very clear to the reader what everyone’s saying/doing. I don’t mean like in terms of grand plans, but generally on this page. Also! Hello cracks/webs? /branching timeliness??? Spreading past the bounds of the panels, nice to see you!

Also also, Ulrich grabbing an angry Phineas is nice but I also the fact that for as angry as phin is, she does seem to slow and stop to give Ulrich a chance to explain. Yay for them! I continue to just adore the character dynamics of Kidd Commander! Thank you!!

  Oh I’m so glad, we’re piling a lot of characters in one place doing a lot of different things now and I’ve been worried about keeping things clear. Hopefully it stays that way alskdjf
  
  I’m SO pleased with how many people have commented on the little phin/ulrich interaction here! I fully expected it to get lost against the backdrop of everything else going on, it’s really cool that y’all are keyed into the characters enough to be thinking about these things hee

I’m not going to feel bad for grandma. But oh no, Tolouse 🙁 (Remember back when I thought he was only under the stress of being the designated priest-martyr of an apocalyptic spider-god cult? ha ha ha)

Hm… So much new (or “new”) for Toulouse. Interesting… Wonder if there’s a hidden element that threw things off rails?

Wonder if perhaps there are angles we don’t yet know pertaining to Lillian as well (I mean, I’ve had a theory for a while, which still might work, but other options are opening.)
Departure_Dave

He’s been stuck in the same loops for so long, but finally something has changed. Now there is everything to lose.
Ailurid

It’s a nice effect that Toulousse stigmatas look like vines for branching timelines as well as poison along veins. That’s a neat visual cue I just piked up.

  Thanks!! It’s always super validating when people notice that sort of thing haha
Chromoid

There’s a sort of comfort in knowing what happens next, as well as knowing that you’ll get another chance to retry it.

Toulouse just lost all of that marginal comfort in this moment. Now, suddenly, he has everything to lose, because he doesn’t know if he’ll get another redo.
Beach Fox

Hrmmm… Thorns? Or poison? Or branching timelines? Poison spreading through the potentials. Grandma doesn’t realize the spider spirit might be dangerous to her.
Toulousse encountering a new iteration of events after who knows how long trapped in this loop and not knowing how to react.

No real commentary I can add, just.. Damn, y’all.
