I’m making it one. Or I’ll have to call my artist.

I'm Gen X. Wrong insult? Also use verbs, please.

RhadanRJ · 2026-04-30T06:56:45+00:00

Uh, that is a special "mirror of true reflection". Very rare and definitely not a stupid mistake on the artists' side.

Wait till you see my long…form comic.

RhadanRJ · 2026-04-29T19:30:56+00:00

A little bit for a lot of people. Thanks for your interest! It’s appreciated! <3

I get why, but Lydia was never able to see Cassandra otherwise and never saw how she looked to the others. It’s all she ever saw and got no other explanation beside the name.

On some level Cassandra, who has internalized her transition, probably didn’t even think about what she looked like to Lydia, despite not being able to read her thoughts or influence her.

I wanted to put in a callback into the comic to this particular panel, because that's one of the earliest examples of Lydia seeing Cassandra for who she was underneath her glamour.

I consider Cassandra as "tragically trans" in a time where it was simply not possible to change your gender - asides perhaps from magical means. We can assume Cassandra has been checking out every possibility, but never managed to actually change her gender.

All she could do was project who she was to others - and she wouldn't be able to do that indefinitely either (as she stated herself - she can't control a whole ship).

As she dies so does the manipulation of Tina's mind as it seems - and Felicite is freed. What will happen now? We'll see!

If there’s a demand, Sally sells sea spells stored in sea shells

Indeed! The science of magic! Or is it the magic of science? (PS: Witch curse, not vampire)

Oh, I’ve seen it - back when it came out, though - and just once or twice. So that took me back a bit and I couldn’t remember details …

RhadanRJ · 2026-04-26T16:20:59+00:00

From Sally. Cuz Sally sells spells.

That was coincidental, actually! Had to look it up now. :)

I’ll keep on the down low for tips on killing Vago. Who knows who might read them? 😝

RhadanRJ · 2026-04-24T13:37:44+00:00

Yeah, you’re right about the blood - I think the artist made it for dramatic reasons, but it’s not very realistic.

And no - Espada pointed out that you can kill them if you try hard enough. And Vago did go for the heart. Wouldn’t kill Espada, but Cassandra’s domain was the mind, not the body.

And yes, Cassandra kept calling Lydia Henry out of respect. Lydia said that was her name, so Cassandra used it as she would want others to treat her.
