I blame being tired. I also originally wrote that she got upgrade for clothes, posted then realized NANASE did got that update, so edited it out. Meanwhile, this upgrade I forgot. Doesn't everyone? Moperville has a vibrant and thriving mall business scene, unlike the rest of the country. Its citizens can't understand what's wrong with other malls across the nation. There is only one problem: sure, lot of people are visiting the mall, but ... they are not exactly buying so much. It's not TICKING. When the fairies time out, they don't explode. They only explode on command. More like radio mine. He's only been awakened for 5 days in comic. Pandora awakened him Friday at the card tournament. Justin also believes that his power is due to ASMA training and not having awakened, Edward apparently thought so as well as he didn't even test to see if Justin awakened. Heck I know it's not Edward's job, but considering his involvement with keeping tabs on Tedd's friends, but I think he dropped the ball for not being more thorough about finding out why Justin suddenly got extra strong when fighting the first fire golem. Pandora MENTIONED she awakened him, but she didn't directly said it was that day. He may be awakened longer. The rest of it still holds, though. Especially the "why didn't Edward scanned Justin" ... While that's true, IMHO she always planed to awaken all people she marked. It is likely she were checking them from time to time, and just because nothing happened at that time (and we didn't saw it in comics) doesn't mean she didn't noticed they have enough energy now and awakened them. To be fair, he MIGHT be getting more muscular just because being marked. Or it could be because he was awakened ... Not only Luke. She likes trolling in general. She wanted to troll Sarah and she LIKES Sarah.

Science has the answer! http://www.besse.at/sms/descent.html Not only is this version funnier, it's extremely hard to disprove by either science or religion ; because archaeologists have almost zero chance to find something which happened only on one small place (which was later swept by flood, for good measure), and, well, CritterKeeper's link already shown how Bible can't really disprove other people. ... actually, both can be true. It would be hard to draw, but imagine how multiple versions of people created by various gods are gradually mixed into the homo sapiens's ancestor population, turning it into homo sapiens. Only problem is with that "not of Semitic descent" ... because while Jews did what they could to keep themselves separate considering the place they were in (like, they had it harder than Australia natives), I don't think they succeeded. There is significant risk that everyone or almost everyone have some Semitic descent.

The seeds of that were sown almost 3 months ago (comic time). I wonder what will happen first, Akiko finding a doll that Nanase made for practice at home, or encountering Fox by accident? ... well, at least not soon in real time. http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=4 I meant in canon. Although re-reading the commentary, it has big chance to happen. Could easily be that FIRST rift happened and THEN Mrs. Kitsune decided to marry muggle. (Sure, Nanase is almost same age as Tedd, but we don't know if the rift happened before or after Noriko left Edward.)

There is a very good chance that any attempt to transform could cost Vladia her life. People in rescue situations are often in positions where they must face some risk to their own life and well being to save another. But there are limits. If Vladia dies or maims herself, that doesn't give the first victim any help. There is a very good chance she can transform as easily as Grace now. But she THINKS there is very good chance it will cost her life, which might be effectively the same. Obviously, there is still at least one opportunity where it would be worth it: to save her OWN life. And in her specific case, there is actually very straightforward situation she can get into where she would be likely to try to transform ... falling from height.

Nah. We can catch her using Tedd as a bait. Unless Tedd changes too, of course ... Repainted? That reminds me the time when Tedd dyed his hair.

Considering Vladia doesn't want to ever change forms again, she likely doesn't count. I mean, Vlad would count before turning into Vladia ... oh wait. He wasn't working for DGB then. Well, maybe she changes mind later. Damn that makes sense. Except ... wait ... is Susan's father really born Mr. Pompoms? Didn't he changed name when he married? It's not like Susan's father is his FIRST child. The farther up the ancestral line, the weirder is how similar Susan looks to him.

Good point. But I suspect that will happen on Grace's next birthday. Which is not so far away in story time, but in real time ... Specialist Steve is better , but yes he's part of that team. IMHO this will happen the same day Akiko proves trying to hide magic from her is futile. Which I would really like to see, but I suspect it won't happen soon. ... can Tedd do Pony form?

Obviously Phill and specialist Steve. Little more seriously, Lavender and Kaoli. And obviously Noriko. But those three are almost sure to eventually appear, just like Dame Tara and Andrea. From the obviously background characters ... Screaming Blonde Girl. She has certainly more potential than Bad Tom. ... are you sure this is good place for this thread? EDIT: Wait, I have better pick who I would really like to see and might never appear. Susan's Logic. Not technically character ...

Send for the the ASBs! (Alien Space Bats) Of course, maybe there are ASBs in the Moperverse, given that uryuom have been living on Earth for a long time. Maybe they are the ASBs of the Moperverse, smoothing things out so they can live in harmony with their new neighbors. After all, there's Lavender, and there was the uryuom trooper in Painted Black. And of course, Minion, The Shive's victim assistant. Actually, DGB can be ASB in Moperverse, regardless if they do or don't have actual space bats (technically, Vlad would count, right?). All the other women around, which would presumably be Lilith. Talk about a shallow gene pool. Well, according to Genesis 5:4–5 Adam had "sons and daughters", presumably with Eve. That doesn't exactly make it so much better, also it's not clear how long Cain was waiting for his sister to randomly wander around in Nod ... unless, yes, Cain somehow managed to pick up Lilith. Luckily, according to another recent hypothesis, we made it better by banging Neanderthals.

There were werewolves on EGS side of earth and seems they disappeared ... that MIGHT mean that Pandora eradicated them HERE. Of course, EGS earth might not be our earth ; just because it LOOKS similar doesn't mean it IS. In fact, it is very unlikely to be our earth, because our secret services are much more corrupted. Also note that the magic reset is supposed to be limited to EGS half of earth. Magic is perfectly ok with being open on the other half of the world, remember? Moperville is SUPPOSED to be big anomaly. I think we can safely assume that concentration of magic users in Moperville is above average. On the other hand, I don't think we know all magic users in Moperville. That actually work quite well if what you make people believe is not that magic was never real but just that it's not real anymore. The government cover up had two phases ; in first, it made people believe that magic was evil and that they are on way to completely remove it, in second they made people believe that magic never existed.

Didn't stopped her from having child with Caesar, who likely wasn't close relative. I'm pretty sure Adrian is her only child since last reset, based on how protective of him she is. Of course, that doesn't say anything about how many children she had BEFORE the reset. The slave girl/captive, possibly. Which wouldn't save her from screwing but might save her from reproducing. I suspect that implying fairies are "sons of God" would be the kind of information Dan would never say for case it would offend some Christians. That obviously doesn't change the fact it would make sense - either in the "yes fairies are sons of God" sense or in "Genesis is legend and fairies having sex with humans is source of this part" sense. In any case, any "magic genes" from that far back would be extremely likely to spread to EVERYONE. Except that little bit that you don't actually have genes from all your ancestors ; some were lost on way. ... BTW, who did Cain and Seth have their children with?

Wasn't it said somewhere that several percent of the modern population of Eurasia are PERSONALLY descended from Ghengis Khan? It is quite possible that, given enough centuries, a single individual's genes can permeate at least one major racial group (barring such barriers as the total lack of intermixing between Eurasians and American Indians before the 16th century and between Eurasians and Aboriginal Australians before the 18th century). Given enough centuries, like few dozens or few hundred of them, it's not only possible but inevitable.

I don't think tea or TF stuff affects her. Also, I think her child form is as much normal for her as this one. We probably don't want sexy pinup of her child form - she would still be centuries old but judge might not understand it It's possible Elliot's affinity had already manifested, I mean he's innately good to the point where Edward comments that he must have been born wearing a scout's uniform. And he's had dreams of being a super hero since shortly after Painted Black, and it's been implied that he's wanted to be a super hero since at least his early teens maybe even earlier. Either Elliot had an affinity for something super hero themed, or, like Ashley, Elliot had goodness central to his core that the super hero spell was inevitable regardless of whether he awaken improperly or not. I would think it's the "goodness central to his core" case, not anything hereditary. And probably would count as yearning. Also, he probably had dreams of being super hero since childhood and this was just first opportunity to show us.

Pandora is showing an awful lot of leg, and actually some not-leg. Pandora is using that outfit for centuries. I'm sure she is showing as much as she wants to. Also, it might be something like magic skirt (warning, tvtropes). And, Heka is not in best angle, IMHO. ... also, where is she showing not-leg? Yes ; it would make sense if Elliot warned her to not tell everyone he's Cheerleadra, but he had no way to expect what else she will blurt.

Hazelnut. Octarine.

Why so small? Sarah had vampire fangs on first frame and both eyes red, while she has blue left eye and green right eye in last frame (and, as we can see, normal teeth). Also, in last frame, she has a cellphone in left hand and magic wand in right hand. And watches. From Tedd, not normal ones (meanwhile, the magic wand is just prop, Tedd didn't made it magic. Yet.) Of course, that is tame compared to how Tedd is changing, but he's upstairs. She's upstairs in last frame.

Yeah, I was the one that originally speculated it, but then Edward told Nanase that Susan is Mrs. Pompoms biological daughter so that seems to have killed that theory. I do still think there may be a reason we never saw Mr. Pompom's face beyond Susan blocking it out herself though. Edward also told Nanase that Susan is not Diane twin and Adrian Raven told Grace he can't have children. Both might be wrong. This is problem with unreliable narrator: when you start explaining stuff by "that person was mistaken", it raises question about who else was mistaken about what. Ellen was created by magic, it would be odd if she didn't have as much if not more magical genes than Elliot. Sure she has as much if not more magical genes than Elliot. Problem is Elliot himself likely doesn't have any. Although, good point: is Ellen's magic hereditary? Did Heka omitted this option? Just for simplicity or he doesn't know? Or, maybe it simply isn't hereditary.

I suspect the explanation would be based on similar "logic" which is used in supporting ideas like not telling children about sex. That would imply that the other woman is Diane's biological mother which would still make Susan and Diane half sisters and would fit the reason why Diane was adopted, but Susan wouldn't be related to Adrian, just Diane. With Mr Pompoms being related to Adrian, then both Susan and Diane could be as well. There already was speculation that Susan's real mother is the woman with her face and Mrs. Pompoms somehow agreed with that. Personally I find it unlikely, but I wanted to add it as possibility. Hmmmm .... and Adrian might STILL meet some other elf, even without knowing it, so the speculations about Susan might still work. I would consider more likely the magic reset just caused any "new" elves to be sterile instead of going through all people and judging if they have "too much" magic ... or, maybe simply made sterile all first generation elves. Nothing is KNOWN to be impossible. That doesn't mean nothing is impossible. Nanase, while not wizard herself, likely have some affinity and strong magic genes (or "genes"). If she would have partner with magic genes instead of Ellen who apparently doesn't have any, she would have some chance her child will be wizard. The word is "fairies" and she's perfect example because Heka IS aware of Adrian. Although, we don't even know how many fairies are on world and how many children she had in previous incarnations. It's possible her genes are in significant part of magic users.

It's called headcanon. Though mainly to see people's reactions. Pity. I hoped that the bigger versions of comics on patreon are without word bubbles, similarly how the magnifier on Chasing Sunset removes word bubbles ...

Also, isn't Nioi part animal? The "pets" comment could have something to do with that as well. True, part skunk I think.

How can you see it through the word bubble? Ok, so we did get at least some explanation why she thinks changing clothes might be good idea.

Do we actually know this? From what I can remember, the only information we've gotten is that Mr. Raven says elves can't have children (and he might be wrong) (or he could be referring to a rule elves have to follow rather than lack of capability). The only elf we know is Mr. Raven, and we know nothing about his sex life or lack thereof (and of course he could be infertile for other reasons, or have children that he doesn't know about, or for that matter have children that he does know about but have reason to lie about it). Yes, only information we've got is Mr. Raven saying elves can't have children. We had no reason to assume he's wrong ... up until now. I would however assume he THINKS he's right. I don't think Noriko would have sex with Raven unless she KNEW she can get child that way, and she wouldn't lie to him about it, so no. It could also be his son. Or it's misdirection and it's the other woman with Susan's face who's Raven daughter ... Not sure how you mean it, but I would say that fairies (or elves) are the ONLY possibility which would draw a cry like that from Pandora. Noriko's genes are reliable, others not so much. I would assume that affinity is not single gene. Either some magical mechanism, or multi-gene trait. Single gene trait would be too easy to track, also even dominant genes wouldn't likely be completely reliable ; based on how sure Noriko was about it, either it spreads more aggressively than normal magical genes, or her lineage always paired with other people with magic genes. I didn't think that Andrea approaching Elliot at school was anything more than just a one time gag until Dan revealed there was more to it in "So a Date at the Mall". But that wasn't active misdirection. Note that Pandora is unlikely to miss Rhoda having some affinity ... but maybe Rhoda had lot of magic genes, but was missing any specific affinity one, while Sarah has the affinity gene, but is missing some others. Meaning, Rhoda's child with Sarah would have strong affinity for scrying spells. (Presumably, Sarah would use her form from Grace's birthday party ... hey, is Bene Gesserit descended from shippers?) Another question is Catalina: is her name-based affinity really just name-based affinity or does she also have some magic genes? ... it's likely far too long ago to apologize, as she's already dead and so is her child, yes ... of course Raven can apologize to Susan and Diane but that's not the same ...

"Hello, would you be interested in my 1518-pages manifesto on why goatees are the best beard?" I don't think he has 1518-pages manifesto. I think he copied the look from Commander Spock.

... oh. Right. That was so far back even story comics had NP format. Ysolda and Fus Roh Cough isn't the same as mentioning the game name. CAN be similar but not same game. Probably isn't, but can. EDIT: Wait, Skyrim is Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Oh.

Black and White is noncanon and Skyrim was not directly named ... but, yes, Dan is not so rigid in what is canon as we would like ... so, yes, he might've changed mind meanwhile. I would expect EGS universe having less games than ours, with them going from landlines to video phones so fast ... That linked scene actually helps convince me that maybe Tedd and Grace haven't gone as far as most people generally assume. Tedd's pretty embarassed by Grace's taking his clothes off, making me think they don't make a habit of getting naked together deliberately. (Incidentally naked while experimenting is another matter.) I could definitely see them leaving it at cuddling and kissing for now, agreeing not to take things "all the way" until they're both ready for the potential consequences. I can even see Grace, who Tedd always says knows him better than he knows himself, being the one to explain to Tedd that he's not as ready as he thinks he is, in a way that neither makes him feel inadequate nor gives him any doubt that she'll be enthusiastic when they are both ready. While this is nice theory, how far you go with it breaks suspension of disbelief for me. They are teenagers - 18, actually. Sure, they might've not got "all the way" yet, but with Grace being completely ok being naked and experiments ending with being naked so often it changes SARAH's view on nudity, I'm sure they did AT LEAST cuddled and kissed naked. Also, they have TF gun granting them additional options how to not go all the way, and Grace can't get pregnant while half-squirrel which is another way to avoid potential consequences. Note Grace's "I though you were okay with" ... I think Tedd was more surprised by how effective Grace is, possibly because she stripped him in definitely non-sexy way. There is also them being in relative public area. Of course, Tedd may STILL ask Grace for wardrobe advise. Despite her different childhood, she likely easily surpassed him in fashion knowledge. EDIT: Also, see what Grace tried to get Tedd interested, followed by relationship advices from Ellen. I'm sure that Tedd did tried at least this AND Grace certainly didn't stopped him too soon after that. I mean, this was before summer, they had lot of time to progress from that.
