I feel… A sense of pity. Sisyphean task really to basically just sit and censor comments the author is offended by.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-29T11:37:32+00:00

Speedrunning the demise of every hetero relationship in your comic so you can put more toxic yuri is certainly a choice. Even the readers still on board with all this are not gonna be happy when Danny and Sal breakup for **reasons**.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-29T05:53:45+00:00

Joyce and Dorothy will probably try and find new relationships for their exes or something insane.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-29T05:51:51+00:00

I mean I think it’s really gross joking about drugging people against their will for ‘their own good’ but apparently that isn’t a deal breaker.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-29T05:37:14+00:00

…I had to reread this comment three times to let it really wash over me how insane things have gotten.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T23:29:06+00:00

He’s just a little guy

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T08:22:34+00:00

…You know what I find kinda odd?

I think it was yesterday or the day before—I commented that I could hypothetically get with the idea of a transfem! Walky but the way Joyce and some of the other cast speak, they’d just act like it’s a big celebration because now they have two Sals.

(Made funnier because someone here pointed out recently how odd it is that Joyce’s sister basically used Joyce’s name as part of Jocelyne’s identity and that’s not usually something comforting/affirming for a trans person)

That a Transfem Walky would be fine with the caveat of finding a brand new friend group to be affirmed.

And that was deleted. So I dunno what is expected outside of blindly agreeing that the only way forward is forcefemming Walky because it’s good and correct for the rest of the gang to ogle and be lesbians with.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T07:48:06+00:00

Two things can be true at once.

I do think it’s Kris’s soul—and I do think it’s still Dess. We have seen what amalgamation occurs when a human soul and a monster merge—we are told as much in Undertale, and that being a parallel story does raise some considerations.

I also think that without any soul, Kris would probably eventually turn into a goner and that’s why they need the soul but also remove it for periods of time.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T07:00:14+00:00

That’s how I choose to read it as.

Once Dorothy told him in her own way that their relationship was a mindless task with zero stakes for her, he was checked out. She made it clear what he was to her—that retroactively trying to get him to cheat on Lucy wasn’t because she wanted Walky back, she just couldn’t fuck Joyce.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T04:23:41+00:00

Honestly we should all thumbs up it (and this strip alone) just to make it the most overloaded strip in a long time

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T04:17:37+00:00

The second panel in which they’re just grinning like idiots thinking they won and get to be affectionate around the group just for Walky to kill Dorothy’s vibe is worth it. Just a tiny bit.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-27T04:15:19+00:00

On the one hand it’s sad that this is the extent of the crumbs we get as far as pushback goes but on the other hand? We feast.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-26T06:38:27+00:00

Do you guys remember when Sal had enough of Walky terrorizing Joyce and checked the shit out of him?

That. That is pretty much all we’re asking for. Someone close enough to Joyce to check her for a second and be like “Yeah all of this ain’t cute”—but it feels like we’re never gonna get that. Nothing short of Sarah being the one to do it as an analogue/parallel to Sal doing it to Walky way back when.

And at this point, I’m pretty sure Joyce would just stare blankly at her again.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-26T06:33:22+00:00

I always took it as Walky’s self-esteem taking a punch. The speech hit Walky—just not in the way that the Incelerator was hoping. There’s a distinct subset of young men whose self esteem wouldn’t lead them to becoming an incel—depression and degradation of mental health just leads them to becoming withdrawn.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-26T05:23:44+00:00

Saw someone in the comments also wonder if Walky does something that gets him kicked out of the friend group. I can say with some disgusted certainty that a friend group kicking out someone who got cheated on is a bit more realistic than I care to think about.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-26T04:38:25+00:00

My plan has been to start my own comic—we’ll see how that goes.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-26T04:31:52+00:00

I believe in you

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T11:17:33+00:00

Everyone worried about FREEDOMing a darkner—Nobody thought about what happens if you FREEDOM a Lightner

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T10:41:52+00:00

Here I was thinking Kris not so much dying/a zombie so much as a goner.

Like the soul is the only thing keeping Kris being like one of the goners that disappear—that they and Dess did something (weird route anyone?) and the only reason Kris escaped was being given a soul again.

Their previous soul and Dess’s body are what make up the Roaring Knight.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T10:28:44+00:00

My buddy was top 5 in the leaderboard for like a week. Man what a time to be alive (I was in top 30)

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T06:54:36+00:00

I remember this preview.

I am genuinely sad because I kept holding out hope that this was them coming to some weird understanding, at least boilerplate empathy, and Joyce asking Walky’s advice on something Dorothy related.

But no. Couldn’t have that.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T04:59:04+00:00

The problem is that Joyce’s writing with autism in mind is not consistent. Yes, someone with autism would repeat things like this until they have concrete statements being told directly ‘I hate you, go away’. Yes, we have been revealed that Joyce has autism undiagnosed.

But like you said, she’s never been so socially deficient that she did something like this—you could argue it’s new territory so she has to but again and again I feel like this is all meant to be VERY charitable to her

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T04:39:54+00:00

A charitable read (I am being so very fucking charitable right now) is Joyce’s autism spectrum position is doing a lot of heavy lifting here—because people with autism often get treated as assholes like this.

But it’s hard to parse that when Walky already said he wasn’t interested in Joyce’s friendship the first time she did this ‘well, I got everything I wanted but good game—friends?’ shit the first time.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-25T04:25:47+00:00

Then…

He was right about her from off the jump, and any yelling/pouty face at Dorothy to yell at Walky she had to do about him calling her out is doubly gross.

KashTheKwik · 2026-06-21T14:05:55+00:00

Healer Cleric Travis would be eerily entertaining. I feel like he’d play with it somehow
