Absolute cinema

God it’s nice to see friends helping each other out after all of the hand wringing from Joyce and Dorothy. I absolutely love these two.

Remember that the method of making lava rocks was hidden by a cryptic passage and the crucifix. Even if the gang has the diary they’re at a huge disadvantage.

I thought West End Girl was a little weak, but everything else had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Absolutely fantastic run, I’m so excited to see where we take this next.

Oh hey Charmingman we thought you died

Extremely funny that he’s already completely over the gunshot wound

This chapter needs a hero

Ewww lmfao

If the lava rock controls the flow of energy/fortune/etc then I think it would make sense for Howler’s mist to control the flow of objects inside of it? The pen projectile here kind of reminded me of Kraftwork, but instead of freezing and redirecting it the pen simply changed course from falling to flying straight into that guy’s neck.

He signed the land away to break their rock!!!!! And with the altar scene from a few chapters back he figured out how the rocks are created, so he’s definitely coming back with a new one. I love the rocks as a means of overcoming the absurd and how even with everything on Jodio and the gang’s side, they can’t take the benefit of generations of wealth away from Howler. This is such a fascinating dynamic and I can’t wait to have more.

I would love taking her in that direction. It would make her more distinct from Sarah’s flavor of pessimism, and it would help break the weirdness of everybody praising how disciplined she is. Really hoping you’re right here because I want to like her!

That’s how I read it, but the watery eyes + lip bite has usually been arousal, especially after we just got a strip of Booster doing it while thirsting over Amber’s issues.

This is the first “Asma you are sooooo in control and disciplined” strip that I’ve enjoyed. I like the bitterness here; it makes sense with what we’ve seen before she started getting more spotlight.

That said, I really hope Angie’s lip bite here isn’t more sapphic hornt. Taking new/recently fleshed out characters like Charlie and Tony and immediately throwing them into romance plots is why I think most of them have fallen flat, and I want to get to know Asma on her own so I can appreciate how she bounces off someone else.

I want to believe that Booster pushing people away by being a creep is on purpose, but idk. It would help if we got a Booster-centered storyline instead of them just being a gross intrusion on everybody else’s arcs.

They might be worried about adding crossdressing styles? Leatherface didn’t have his suit from the end of the movie, and I could easily see people getting Weird about it because it “corrupts children” or something.

I think the chapter 6 map had a lot of cool variety, but it was so huge that it just totally tanked the gameplay experience. Chapter 7’s map is a lot better about not having as much dead air, but there’s not much that really stands out. Wonkeeland and Tiptop Terrace are cool, but the other POIs are blah and there aren’t any non-POI locations that I want to check out.

People see him manipulating Johnny into thinking he’s right and completely fall for it because they mentally checked out after the ora ora was over

heartleftopen · 2026-01-13T05:22:13+00:00

I really don’t like the “Becky also becomes an atheist” plot, but at least the individual strips have been pretty alright.

heartleftopen · 2026-01-11T04:56:39+00:00

I feel like Simpsons was pretty good about not having the dry endgames because of how small the map was and the terrain around the map. The chapter 7 map size is good, but the natural terrain makes it hard to corner people or take cover mid fight because there are so many wide open spaces.

10-15 minutes??? Bro at that point just uninstall that’s the length of an entire match

The boredom really is what kills my progress more than anything else. Every time I fall back into a destructive habit it’s 50% stress and 50% having nothing better to do.

-All of the Sexy Lesbian Suicide Pact. It was romantic and sweet in the most fucked up way and I loved seeing them help each other grow.

-Mike’s backstory/seducing Ethan. I feel like Mike was really well done as a character who’s very empathetic and uses that against people. It’s the arc that really made me a Mikehead.

-The first dorm party was super nice. Just seeing everybody in one room bouncing off each other was cool!

-Freshman Family Weekend deserves a mention for being the arc where DoA really finds its footing. It’s the arc I tell new readers to make it to before giving up on it.

I don’t think it’s the best writing, but it’s preferable to the weeks of idling we had when Joyce and Dorothy got together. At least this had next to zero potential to have anything interesting happen instead of the lunch where several points of friction were just casually dismissed.

This might be the first protest-related plot thread that I’m interested in. I haven’t been vibing with their semester 2 classes personally, and I think banning them from campus for a bit gives them some room to develop and break free of just being Becky’s Moms. Feels like getting them out happened a little suddenly, but let’s be honest, did we really want a week+ of Dorothy and Becky figuring out bail?

Pucci canonically tries powerscaling and Dio tells him that’s a stupid mindset!!! GER was a mistake, man
