Character Development: Lalli

[Krisse Kovacs]

Which is why it was nice to see him showing curiosity about something in today's update rather than just being like "Is it my job?  If not who cares."

and maps are part of his job, sooooo he shows a bit interest toward it. yes

[Juniper]

I'm really happy that Lalli's finally getting the validation he needs. But at the same time it still doesn't feel totally satisfactory. I'd really like to see him learn that he doesn't need to be perfect all of the time and that it's allowed to make mistakes.

Things are in fact going too well.

I mean, I don't know how long the story is planned to be and how far we are along, but I would have expected a bit more tension along the way. So far we have seen a good ironing out of edges for everyone involved. I wonder if things will go downhill or if the comic does in fact intend to have a nice upward progression in social relations and emotional development for everyone involved.

This is probably just the calm before the storm.

Nope nope nope*puts head in sand like an ostrich*
All will be well... if I just un-read that tweet of Minna saying the rest of the comic will be more glum...

Yeah, I was thinking I could live in denial that it's the calm before the storm until I remembered Minna's tweet, too.

Maybe... maybe she meant glum for the mission? Like maybe they won't find as many books or something "reasonable" like that?

*remembers other stuff Minna has said about drama and angst*

Sigh.

We should take it slowly... one page at the time. And three pages a week (rather than five) just means the impending doom is getting delayed, which is a good thing, right?
Besides, Minna has said SSSS would be a generally light-hearted comic...

So what do you fear the most, the impending angst and glumness or the... (*swallows*) chapter break?

Yay, our impending doom is delayed!!! Though I am really excited to see where everyone's character ends up and how they develop and change in the second, more doom-y half of the story. Makes me think of the situations they might be put in and how people will react or change under pressure or in gloomy situations.

Secondly, both. I fear both.

Today, December 7, 2018, marks a momentous occasion in Minnion History. On this day, for the first time in recorded history, Lalli Hotakainen ACTUALLY GRINNED. And that, my friends, calls for a lot of celebration!

[Ragnarok]

I heartily approve of this holiday.

In addition to the rampant adorableness, it warms my filthy shipper heart.

[Purple Wyrm]

Hear hear! This should be an annual celebration!

[Róisín]

I think it would make a suitable holiday! And the day after Finnish Independence Day too.
