#250 “Done”
I’m back from vacation to save you from this cliffhanger… by giving you a BIGGER cliffhanger!
Seriously though, looks like things will be really heating up now!

Ghostbusters on the TV in the back, nice.
Yeah, it’s been slowly playing in the background this whole scene going back several pages. Haha. A little detail.
My bet on Craig is that he’s not finished because the movie has not finished yet. He just wants to watch it through. Haha. 😁
Joking of course.
So… How humans and noxians understand each other? Does noxians have some small device that translating what humans saying? Or just magic stuff that doing same thing? Or they’re speaking english? Sorry if something was written incorrectly, I’m not good at english.
They just speak the same languages. Especially Shadow, since she has known Tim for years.
They start learning to understand English at a very young age when they start portalling under beds or closets (under guidance or mentoring by an older Noxian). Then they learn how to speak it at junior school.
Possibly some speak other languages. It’s a big world.
Is Craig about to try and fight Shadow?
Or will he admit he couldn’t get the image of Shadow scaring him from so long ago out of his mind, making him admit his own feelings for her?
Or will it be a third option that I lack the imagination for.
Let’s find out in about 2-3 weeks time.
Craig will try to bully either Shadow or Tim, but Marcy will turn against him.
With both Shadow ans Marcy alllied, he should start running now.
I’m hoping he apologizes for how he acted all those years ago.
Looks like it’s moving toward a squabble of who started what.
Well, Marcy’s done the sensible thing and opted OUT, so she’s not going to be part of any squabble.
Who do you see as protagonists, holding which opinions>
Actually I think she purposefully lit the fuse and is leaving before the bomb that just dropped goes off. Tim is now in shock because he was oblivious. Shadow has openly admitted her feelings. Tim and Shadow have a lot of talking to do. I think Marcy will still be in the picture and hasn’t given up on Tim yet. She just wanted to get everyone on the same page for a fair fight and no more nocturnal haircuts. Who knows what Craig is up to that character is pretty consistent at being the bad guy who ends up saying something like “and I would have gotten away with too it if not for you pesky Noxians” or something like that. Shadow looks to be up and at least somewhat free of the blanket so he better watch out.
I know Brandon said it’s not gonna happen, but I honestly expect Ruth to walk in to find out what all the yelling is about
His room isn’t soundproof so the Momster and Dad will have to investigate. And Ruth, in full MOM mode, is undoubtedly very scary.
This whole time Marcy is the only one who’s been acting with any level of maturity. You don’t typically see the slutty blonde cheerleader being the voice of reason.
It’s not maturity. It’s belated prudence.
Right now a very obvious question is “Shadow is clearly jealous, what exactly made her react like this?” Which she failed to predict. So, like any sensible hocktopus, she tries to emit a cloud of ink and propel herself away from the scene before this goes any further in the unwanted direction.
But fails, as it turns out her jock is not as dumb as expected and already figured something is fishy here. Oops.
It has honestly been so long, I can’t remember why Craig is here or even what his personality has been previously.
And whom do you blame for that?
There’s a link to the Archives at the top of the page.
Halloween bully.
Marcy knows him and goes to him for advice after being attacked by SOMETHING that left scissors in her room, which reminded her of a story he used to tell concerning Tim and his spooky demon.
She uses him to muscle Tim into telling her all about what is going on, and he tags along no doubt curious how things will play out.
Yep I figured it was jealously.
…Well, I am pleasantly shocked. Also, Tim.
Honey.
Sweetie…
She just confessed. Do NOT fuck this up, boy.
Well he’s still working with the mentality that because she’s not human it would essentially be beastiality.
Not exactly. Beastiality involves some kind of animal, with “animal” being of the human definition, meaning no human level of intelligence. Since Noxes have human-level intelligence, the more appropriate term would be Xenophilia, just like sex with demons or aliens.
*Noxians
It’s no more beastiality than having sex with an elf, or an alien.
… are people really that stupid in US? … wait. There were people in US who though it would be bestiality with person of different skin color quite recently … ok, they really are that stupid.
That’s a Life Lesson -Learn it well.
Has this person said that they are from the States?
As someone from the US, I can assure you there are far worse here. This one at least had the capability to get online, find a good webcomic, and make that post. Thats already pretty high functioning for round these here parts…
So, migrate. If you stay, you CAN be infected.
You could also try to improve it, but that takes education, dedication to a life of poverty and frustration.
Pigs LIKE to wallow in mud & that’s hard to change.
If you are complaining about Pikaman’s post, he never said that HE feels that way, just that Tim does not seem to have slotted Shadow into “potential girl friend” yet. If he had, than they would not be such close friends, many boys have trouble dealing with that sort of thing.
Until you think of the term “xenophilia”, “bestiality” is about all that is left. He has no idea that humans and Noxians can interbreed. This makes them effectively a type of human. Pity he was late to leave for school.
I also believe that the term “misgenation” was used in regimes that opposed racial mixtures, in an attempt to put a pseudo-scientific gloss on their bigotry.
Christ. Can we not talk about this stuff in my comment section.
Some people are obsessed. You have read “Kim”, right? ;]
Yes, Rudyard Kipling – is there another?
Who’s talking about breeding? Ask Commander Shepard.
That settles that. Now, about Terminus…
Hmm?!
Hmmmmm!
Lets go confession chapter~
Heck yeeeeah!
A minor typo…
Jugdement -> Judgement
It may not be.
Perhaps Brandon is sending a subliminal message “jugs=dementia” ie Marcy is insane.
I had a feeling you would mention Marcy’s jugs!
Well, Brandon’s been pushing them forward!
They barely feature on this page!
Agreed, Brandon. They weren’t actually FEATURED this page.
However, they were already established in the shared consciousness several pages ago & were commented upon extensively at that time.
I don’t know about the rest of the readership, but my awareness (of boobs) doesn’t fade so quickly as that.
I fixed it! I sometimes wish Photoshop had a spell checker built in like every other program ever.
The best one is located about 5cm behind your eyes. That’s the one I use.
Yeah yeah, me too. But when you stare at something long enough sometimes you just don’t see mistakes anymore. It’d be nice to have it pointed out beforehand.
Isn’t that where the pre-publication preview (and viewer reveiw) on Patreon is useful?
Give us willing previewers and proofreaders 24 hours access to the final line drawing (pre-colours) and I reckon most of those typos can be picked up for you.
Itt just means a small delay to make it perfect.
Which version are you using? I’m pretty sure the full package can spell check your text layers.
If I may make a friendly, editorial suggestion? Type up your script into a simple word-processing program (Word, Pages, Text Edit…whichever corresponds to your operating-system-of-choice) with the spellchecker activated. Then, when it’s time to add text, just copy and paste it.
Craig: “I’m not”
Well.. one of two things need to happen..
1. He actually grew up and apologizes.
2. Shadows beats the holy fuck out of him because he acts like shes the bad guy… even though he bullied them.
Tim really did not think this through when he brought those two here. He really should have just feigned ignorance and if anybody asked him about the scissors he could say that Marcy probably took them without realizing it because she is kind of dumb.
At least truths are coming out this time.
Go back to the beginning of Chapter 4, I tell you (the audience) straight up that Marcy would be the “Little Push” that gets the ball rolling.
Well Tim doesn’t seem to mind being claimed… But Craig just can’t back down…
I predict March becoming an ally and Craig a stooge.
Perhaps Marcy and Midnight can form the B-Team.
Does Midnight even know (let alone care) about Marcy?
The only thing Midnight knows about Marcy is that she has big hooters!
