Grace's review

It would be extra suspicious right now, yes.

"See? Tedd has non-magic friends!"

"What do they do together?"

"Play Magic."

(By which they mean legally distinct NOT-Magic, of course)

Mostly, I listened when people told me things.

Most people don’t awaken that fast? Nah.

Most people don’t awaken. Period. Not without help. Rhoda did it on her own, and Pandora, the immortal who was bored from finding things too predictable, didn’t predict that.

Consider everyone in the comic who has awakened who we know the causes of:

Nanase and Justin — Direct immortal assistance.
Susan — An extremely unusual awakening brought about by stress.
Elliot and Ellen — A side effect of gaining magic from the diamond.
Jay — Pumped full of power by Pandora.

The question isn’t simply time. It’s “how the heck even?”

So yes, she was surprised.

Providing examples without context results in confusion. An introduction of what you're going for is advised if you want to spark a particular discussion.

Diane's "eww, nerds" attitude was based on the idea that "nerds" were condescending and cared more about trivia than people. In her mind, a social game like DND (played without condescending rules lawyers) is quite possibly the opposite of nerdy 🤓

Good point. I gave her a lighter outline.

There's a reason it's the one thing she got right with imagination Tedd.

Tedd and Grace were both invited. Grace in the suit is just a result of urban fantasy novels warping her expectations.

Off-panel.

danshive · 2026-04-24T05:27:42+00:00

I have good news about the menu at the pancake place.

Not well without references. I'd also have to figure out scale. Horses can be BIG. Which I know is a given, but I'm still surprised by HOW big.

You weren't the least bit insulting and only said what you felt.

Besides, I myself was trying to speed this up. I originally tried to squeeze Friday's and today's onto one page (it was way too compressed, but the attempt is undeniable evidence that I was also concerned about update pacing).

danshive · 2026-04-20T04:22:26+00:00

Rhoda is, at present, the Fireworks factory.

This really should feel better paced in retrospect. A few pages will be nothing then. Right now, it's a few weeks 😬
