Latest Page Discussions/Comic Update Chitchat

Maybe the missing flag is to keep us on our toes, like the Swedish flag when Lalli first entered Emil's dreamspace!

Sounds likely.

I posted this in the comment thread:

Have now spent a few hours imagining Friday's cliffhanger ending with Lalli getting chomped in the jugular by a Notoro, and then Monday's page like:

Panel 1: Lalli and all the Notorii look up at the sky in anticipation
Panel 2: The Swan and Onni standing at the side of the dream lake arguing and passive-aggressively exchanging insurance information, while a traffic cop tries to figure out who to write the ticket to
Panel 3: Lalli grinning, pulling out a puukko and jumping right back into the fray of Notorii, who are powerless against him

This is hilarious! Now I can upvote it more than once.

I will wait & see on the missing flag, so many possibilities here.

I just noticed in the transcripts of the live stream, confirmation from Minna that the vague red form in the clouds, that Lalli tried to swim away from, was that thing that Onni and Lalli are afraid of - the infamous It!  Obviously, we haven't seen the last of this. *fret*

I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
Is this an appropriate response?

Are they running toward Emil?

Or are they running toward the site of the explosion?

Looks more like the latter to me --

From a reliable source (user Pawrunes, active on the forum and the Discord server) I heard that book 2 was in the Hiveworks store 17 to 20 July. Pawrunes ordered it the 17th, it was shipped the 18th and it got delivered to their home the 30th of July.

That's nice of course, but I think this is really weird of Hiveworks. Many people who have pledged for the Kickstarter or have added book 2 later don't have it yet. Then why would Hiveworks make book 2 available in the store? Now the ones who have supported printing book 2 have to wait longer for their copy than the ones just ordering it from the store last month.

Why even make an addition to your pledge ("only for backers") available if it would be faster to just buy the book directly from the store? I thought the possibility of making an addition to your pledge was a privilege for backers, but it seems like it would have been faster to buy book 2 in the store rather than making it an add-on.

I believe the stocks for the kickstarter and those for the store are handled separatedly. There were some unexpected delays (which they warned us about in an update) for the kickstarter books, so they knew they were going to miss their first shipping date (and again, they warned us). They sent another update just today to say the kickstarter books were about to be delivered.

Futhermore, it's actually pretty frequent for kickstarter project to have the store version becoming avalaible before all backers have gotten their order. Logistics works in mysterious ways.

(Also, I doubt anyone at hiveworks read this forum, but I could be wrong).

aaaand I appear to have been wrong about that.

Not the first time. Which won't stop me from making future guesses, of course.

-- looks like they'll be in full sun come morning! if they get till morning without further disturbance, that is.

Wonder whether there'll be any interesting dreams in the meantime?

[Grade E cat]

I'm wondering too. Would be a good time to get at least Reynir involved again.

[Ragnarok]

The latest page encourages much shipping. That is all.

[Noodles]

I deeply love the little "z" bubble in the last panel

I will say that this past chapter is what made me finally give in and admit that I’m a hopeless shipper  still not really much of one in general though

[thorny]

To my head, it's actually more interesting to think of this relationship as platonic.

Mileage, obviously, varies.

[Kaino]

I love seeing friends who can be physically close to each other. So I don't care much about the form of the relationship as long as I get to see hugs and cuddles. And just them finding comfort in one another.

And yeah, these last chapters have been wonderful for that reason. And I want to see more of them just talking to each other and hanging out. At the same time I'm happy they didn't understand each other after Lalli got out of Emils head, it would have been way too easy. Them trying hard to learn each others language is more interesting, I think, even if it takes longer.

Not sure if magespace, or Emil is just having magic induced hallucenations.... the fact that Lalli wakes up and is frowning at Emil's sleep makes me believe they're still linked in magespace somehow.
