So the discord server has been linked here before, but today it got a huge boost by Dan:
https://twitter.com/elgoonishshive/status/1197904546862977025
He's also added the link to the "Extras" page but with the disclaimer that he doesn't moderate it, basically meaning it's still technically unofficial, but acknowledged and he's a member.

Given Arthur's reaction when Ellen demanded she call Nanase, I wouldn't be surprised if DBG is well aware of Noriko's family and has a "don't mess with them lest we incur the wrath of Noriko and/or Edward" policy, Edward is included since we've seen how Edward responded to Nanase being hurt, it's pretty clear he still considers the Kitsunes family despite Noriko's behaviour.
Nanase probably doesn't need to fit the bill as a Wizard to still fill the role as apprentice, it could still be possible to train Nanase in a way that has her develop appropriate spells, we know Nanase got a bunch of disguise and stealth and decoy spells because she spent a lot of time hiding, which put her in the mindset for getting related spells, all Noriko would have needed to do was get Nanase in the mindset of monster hunting rather than hiding.

Give me a head with hair, magically controllable hair
Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair, stays still a while longer
Here, baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, as long as I don't need to cut or comb it, my hair

I'm reminded of someone asking Dan to stop drawing chibi versions of the cast, and Dan's response was more chibis.

Certainly, it's the proximity in story to Grace having the talk with Sam and the sudden change in attitude from "what historians may or may not say is a date" to "it was certainly a date!" with the implication that something great happened that Sarah isn't currently at liberty to say aside from that it was great, that makes a strong argument towards Sarah meaning Sam.
I think what set Sarah off with the need to apologize to Tedd and Elliot was the realization that they are no different than Sam really, but she had been treating them differently because in Sam's case being Trans-male was in agreement with Sarah's preference for men while we've seen many examples of Sarah not really liking the idea of men becoming women. Sarah probably seems to feel that her attitude might be hypocritical, like she can prefer men over women, but giving preferential treatment to trans-men over trans-women or genderfluid/casual people is not cool and she wants to fix that.

So, last night I broke a tooth eating peanuts of all things.... it's not a painful break and it happened to a molar that had a filling done last year, but it does have some edges that my tongue scrapes against which is kinda annoying.
The most annoying part though, is because of the covid-19 deal, the dentist is closed for the foreseeable future and will only accept emergency appointments, which I don't think this counts, it's not like the tooth split in half or anything, I can live with it for the time being, but yeah, this sucks.

And our hero's tail goes on...

I was with a real bitch yesterday. She was demanding to be petted, licking my hand, wagging her tail, staring at me with her big eyes. If I took a break, she got up and rested her front paws on my legs and gave me a "You know you're not done." look.

Can we all just appreciate how Susan called Rhoda a "small, adorable woman with abs for days"?

We just had guest stay at the hotel I work at who brought a chihuahua with them that they were initially supposed to be dog sitting while their neighbours went to Florida. They were told it'd be for a couple weeks, but it's been over a month and they can't contact the neighbours to find out when they'll be back to pick up the dog so now they're afraid they just had it dumped on them.
Mind you from what I've heard, it's a well behaved dog, they've got a travel cage for it which the dog will use on it's own and it isn't yappy. So why the owners would abandon it is beyond me aside from them just being jerks.

Let's see, at least 13 hours of sleep (uninterrupted I assume since you didn't mention any) feeling better because of it... only complaint being boredom?
I wish I could get 7 hours uninterrupted sleep most days. lol

Except for Susan of course.
Lets say for a moment that Susan's mom's maiden name is Pompoms though, it could be the reason her dad married her in the first place if she was "his type" as in having been a cheerleader in highschool/post secondary school. This would mean we wouldn't know what Susan's dad's last name is though, but I doubt it'd be Raven cus Susan was probably old enough when she caught him cheating to remember what her last name used to be.

Even if there was no danger of property damage or physical harm to anyone, the possibility of something embarrassing happening is still enough for Tedd to want to be extra cautious, she hasn't known Ashley very long and hasn't been able to properly assess what her limits are and it hasn't helped that Ashley's been both enthusiastic and freaked out by the stuff that's happened so far.
And then Diane is a complete stranger to Tedd aside from knowing that she's somehow related to Susan, so far Diane's been friendly and enthusiastic but Tedd has no clue what a wardrobe malfunction might do.

This time the click doesn't appear to come from the door knob, unless the door knob just fell off the door, but then it'd make a noticeable :thud: rather than click.
 Is there something in Tedd's lab coat?
 
You know... it's a good thing Sarah didn't mispronounce it as Amplio DeCrisco, or else she would have ended up with a different kind of shortening.
 

Was it an Austin Powers movie where they were pushed in front of a slow moving vehicle, and spent several moments screaming like they were about to die before finally walking away?

PROBLEM: A trolley is rushing out of control down a single track at a speed of about 30 mph, or 50 km/h. There is no-one within line of sight in any danger of being hit by the trolley.
ELEMENTS: You are standing next to the track. The trolley will pass you harmlessly in ten seconds. Next to you stands Harvey Weinstein, film producer and serial sexual predator. He is also in no danger of being hit.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Shove Weinstein onto the track. This will stop the trolley in a few more seconds when it hits him.
COURSE OF ACTION: Do it. Even though the track seems clear, that might not be true further down the line. Someone could get seriously hurt, so it has to be done for safety's sake. It is the only responsible thing to do.

Yes, singing is rather difficult to work into a strictly visual medium
If this is accurate, it is long overdue...
 
PHILL!!!
Why Have You Forsaken Us, Your Loyal Fans, For So Long?

The game's probably like "See, what you just did will only lead to the bandits getting out and causing more problems later cus they're bandits and that's all they'll ever do, it would have been better in the long run to just kill them"
Even Dan said on discord that the game is punishing Susan.
 

No one cares that nobody cares.
So they held a Mass. Everyone came. Then it was a critical Mass.
Oh the deconstruction! The Mass hysteria!
"No bodies! Scares!"
"Luke, I am your Dada!"
"Noooo!"
 

That reminds me of a time on World of Warcraft. My group was finishing a quest in a low level area and the loot system was being annoying so I wanted to set it to Free For All, abbreviated to FFA. But I mistyped and announced to the group, "Loot set to FFS."
We all had a good laugh about that and one of my teammates announced that his loot had been set to FFS all day long. So as you see, @mlooney, you have fellow sufferers. We have all been there and I sympathise.

The thing is, the comic started with Tedd always wearing glasses, but then we have Tedd saying that he only wore them to make himself look less girly, and even stated that he had 20/20 vision, the question is then, had Tedd been tested before and told he had 20/20 vision, or had Tedd just been assuming it?
Now if we are to assume that no retcon has taken place, one could speculate that over the past year, Tedd was exposed to something that might have affected their eyesight, we could probably rule out the TFG because there's been studies done on it and I'd figure it affecting eyesight negatively would be a concerning side effect worth mentioning.
I dunno if the flash when Nanase's hair reverted was bright enough, Tedd was wearing his dad's special glasses at the time and it's possible it has special glare reduction tech among it's other feature. Tedd also shielded his eyes some so it probably didn't cause any real damage.
A good possible candidate though is Tedd's encounter with the whale, the psychic blast Tedd took as part of the whale's method of communication left Tedd with a nasty headache after, it might have been enough to cause some damage to Tedd's eyes.
Beyond that though, I wonder if it could just be a side effect of looking at magic a lot, like if Tedd only started experimenting with magic and watching transformations after Grace showed up and Elliot started having to transform, then that could explain it, Tedd was pretty gung ho about watching transformations for a while there, it could have caused a decent amount of strain.
 

Once upon a party cheery, Whilst discussing Magic Theory
Over many a plate of pizza and d'oeuvre hors
In the basement close to cave in, came the spawn of Adrian Raven
Entering Tedd's tiny haven through the basement door
When will these ladies allow us their relation to explore?
Quoth the Ravens, "Nevermore"
