I think I wanted to say something but I went for the tvtropes article of this and forgot what.

Things like rape, incest and torture are both 1) not discussed often and 2) known to cause actual serious conditions. Problem is when someone complains about missing trigger warning for topics which are either extremely likely to be discussed - including just locally, like it doesn't make sense to add "Trigger warning: transformations" to posts on EGS forum because anyone having problems with transformations will avoid EGS with great margin - or to something which seems unlikely to trigger anyone ... although your example with food shows that sometimes it's not obvious what can be trigger. (I suppose there is no need for ANY trigger warnings on forum for Games of Thrones. Alternatively, they should be in page heading, so no need to include them in posts.) Actually, I would suspect that people truly affected will prefer to NOT discuss it, so they wouldn't be vocal in complains due to that. Meanwhile, trolls are usually vocal enough to over-talk people having normal discussion, so they have even less problems over-talking affected people ...

Maybe, though I wonder if Fox could use the watches, I'd be more inclined to believe that Nanase would morph into Grace first, then create Fox already looking like Grace. She can even cast spells. Although yes, they can do it like this too. Jumping? No. Her first reaction will be she wouldn't like it. But I'm not sure if she would be able to ask for her male form from Grace's birthday in non-awkward way. Although ... she can always try this method. Ok. Totally more likely than trying Tedd form.

Either other artists are better (quicker) in finding colors that look good together, or they have less concern about the composition. Note also that if you include uniforms, for example, you don't need to care about finding new colors for every person ... ... yup, that's the "less concern" option. Well ... technically, there are 256 options for greyscale, but Dan is only using 33 colors. Using the same method, you would get 35937 colors for RGB, which is still lot but much less. And there will be lot of colors in that looking very similar. The real issue is not that you can't limit the palette for RGB: the issue is that it's hard to make palette in RGB which would make colors look good TOGETHER. ... it's surprising how cute she looks despite being between people who are ALSO shrunk ... Yeah, I'm pretty sure Sarah is over the whole transformation phobia. Next up, seeing her friends naked. I suspect that working with Tedd and Grace is good for that too

The difference is that "depriving people of a reference of their spells" will not be that big incentive. Option to learn their spells WILL be. And while those combats will be dramatic, they would also make harder to keep magic from public knowledge. And they would "militarize" magic - currently, lot of people have very different, INTERESTING spells, while real and serious risk of combat would mean most would want fireballs. We don't know the reason for it, it wasn't even directly mentioned, but from how the world look it's likely magic doesn't WANT to be mostly used in combat. (At least on this half of world. The other half of world have lot of signs of magic being used in combat a lot there.) Yes. Even if the book would look to have such titles just to mundane people, it makes little sense unless it's to make them unlikely to try to read it. Note that obviously the best title for spellbook is something like Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Option: Spells & Magic, because that would be 100% protection of masquerade even if someone would read it whole. Yes, very interesting question. Note that it might also completely disappear.

Her growth in this strip does however, in my opinion, end up quite a bit to top-heavy for her slim build. I think her bust size in the third stage looked much better, foxy yet still athletic. I'd still scratch her behind the ears (and probably get nipped for it) though... I would guess, based on her smile, that she LIKES the growth. Although personally I agree that the combination of bigger breasts and slimmer waist seems too much. ... given their reaction to Grace I think they would be comfortable with that. And I suppose Ellen wouldn't want to roleplay Elliot even if Nanase would like to (which is not likely), but Cheerleadra? Why not? (And secret identities are given, even Elliot takes them partially separated.) Of course, they can't really TRANSFORM to anyone else than Grace ... yet ... Well ... we actually got update of that opinion ... but it is possible she would still consider "sister with benefits" ... Does it even matter? With them together, it's like positive feedback. They would do kinkier stuff that either of them would consider on her own. (If they didn't already.) I already mentioned: they'll probably fail to resist the temptation to use Grace. The "combination with my magic" seems like Fox will be using the watches. Tedd, however ... I don't see either of them being tempted by THAT. Although with Tedd form, they technically have way to get pregnant even without further help from him, which MIGHT make them consider it later ... (like, thinking if trying Tedd would be more or less awkward than asking him for something else). That MIGHT not be enough for curing him, although it was definitely big step, and she will certainly go through rest of steps without noticing (and without Elliot noticing) ...

Edward didn't make Nanase's book, Helena and Demetrius gave it to her when they awakened her. Even if he did it wouldn't mean he wrote it personally. I meant that he might be using similar trick, possibly even learned the trick from spellbooks.

I'm not sure she SAW the title, much less what's inside. Sarah might be referring to Grace. While it's possible non-awakened can't read it, we have nothing in canon supporting the idea. Also, those "random titles" might be fixed, we have nothing supporting the idea different people see it differently. On the other hand ... maybe Edward's writting is not just that bad ...

I thought that the thing with Latinum wasn't that it couldn't be replicated at all, but rather that any person with an ordinary tricorder could distinguish the difference between replicated Latinum and the natural stuff. In other words, counterfeits are easy to detect. Well, It can't be replicated. He has. Question is if he was in any other good movies than the Bond ones.

That movie was awful. Loki is a jotun. They even ADMITTED he is a jotun. And they still got a human actor to play him. Well they DID also established he's shapeshifter. As I understand, this is not common trait between jotuns, and therefore only jotun capable of playing Loki would be Loki. ... and he MIGHT actually played himself, no matter if director knew.

That's exactly the reason why I think it will NOT be possible. Magic might be trolling, but not maliciously, and this sounds like something which wouldn't make sense as a mechanism ... Similarly, I don't think you can actually HIDE the book from owner who knows what he's doing. I mean, Justin currently doesn't know, so he may have it on a bookshelf, but IF the spellbook must be unique, it would be possible to locate it with magic and Edward will likely know how. Alternatively, maybe he can just link a new spellbook to Justin which makes the old one stop working or something ...

It hasn't really stopped Nanase from fantasizing about both Grace and Elliot, though I guess Ellen doesn't mind as long as she can tease someone about it. Sure, there is nothing bad on fantasizing. And Ellen seems more than willing to roleplay, and they have that option now ... I mean, I think Nanase prefers to keep Ellen and change her look to trying other people.

... or someone black being cast as Norse god.

No. But not being native speaker, my opinion doesn't mean much.

Nanase asking God for help in Sister II can certainly be seen as that, whether or not it was actually necessary is unknown, though Ellen certainly believed in it enough to do the same in Family Tree. Though it is noteworthy to mention that Nanase didn't say anything to invoke her guardian form the second time. Which is consistent with the idea that the spell is now hers and she only prayed to GET the spell, not to CAST it. Also, both Adrian and Abraham are old-school. Calling spells was probably in fashion few centuries back Or ... wait. They are both wizards. It may be specific to being wizards ... Well, true. But even then, the "incantation" is only one of requirement, and not so important one. Finding out the words will not help you much in casting that spell. Sure we did. Jerry. While, as immortal, he might be another exception, we also don't have any reason to assume other people CAN'T read the spellbooks. Nanase is certainly afraid her mother WILL be able to read it, despite her assuming her mother doesn't know magic.

Depends on how you define lesbian. What is definitely never too much is bisexuals. Well, it would definitely be better for Nanase and Ellen. The one true dodecahedron (or where did we ended) notwithstanding, I think Nanase prefers to be in just one relationship at once. Also, I ship Diane with Charlotte. ... hey, who ELSE should I ship her with? It's not like there is any available man in cast ...

For reference: FOOF in some really interesting series of articles. More likely it was because of radioactivity. Some of atoms either in the AA or in the shock-proof case were radioactive and decayed in the "right" moment. But I also liked the theory about someone talking bad about it.

...okay. That might be more flammable than ClF3, but harder to keep on hand as FOOF decomposes very rapidly. Also according to Wikipedia, FOOF has fewer uses outside of idle amusement, whereas ClF3is regularly used by the semiconductor industry to clean their chemical vapor disposition chambers and was once considered for use as rocket fuel (and was decided against due to difficulties handling it. I've heard the accident that resulted in ClF3 burning through concrete and the gravel beneath was when NASA was transporting some of it for testing) Another interesting thing is Azidoazide azide. As mentioned in this great video, it's so sensitive it's sensitivity can't be measured. List of things which can make it explode includes "absolutely nothing". Actually, VOLTAIRE and Helena were moderators and the conflict was excellent example what will happen if, in forum with multiple moderators, some of them start taking sides in the flame war. Except usually it ends much worse.

Well, I already knew my allergy is very mild compared to other people. I'm still surprised how many and how extreme examples showed so fast between this relatively limited group ...

Agree ... on the other hand, hard to say how much character growth she had when we were NOT seeing her. But it still seems that those weeks after timeskip were very emotional for her ... Nanase is already taken. Agreed. Also kinda amusing with the fact that Susan went through a similar arc of character development. Well, you can't really drop complex character in two panels ... Tedd was shallower too ... but yes, those two seems to change most obviously. Well the next story MIGHT be Sister III ... with the option for both Diane and Susan to grow even more ... Also, she might get to some canon transformation too. She somehow missed one FV5 opportunity ... She must. If the transformation wouldn't look so good, people might complain that it has nothing to do with the question.

Since someone can be awakened without their knowledge (Justin) and nobody knows what their spells are short of a spellbook or accidental castings (Elliot, Sarah respectively), I'd definitely say that when a person with the Wizard talent is awakened, they wouldn't automagically know they had the talent. They'd have to figure it out or be told, or something like that. Sure, but it's not second awakening. I think that despite "it may not be that simple", it IS actually possible for wizard to learn a spell by accident, just like it's possible to cast spell by accident for normal user. (Probably only low-level spells or something, but still.) So, yeah, person can get several own spells before finding out he's wizard, but mainly in situations where he rarely see other people casting anything.

Ok. But it's not major factor for HUMANS. (Although, technically ... when Adrian said "we", he might've been talking about uryuom and elves ) While we DO have an example of using Ellen's beam on non-human (and even non-mammal) liveform, we don't have an example of it wearing off.

I'm just wondering on what basis you make that conclusion. How do *you* know whether a given person is actually prone to genuine psychological harm? Must you actually *see* them have an externally visible panic attack before you'll believe them? If so, that seems like a rather harsh requirement; if not, then how do you decide who you believe and who you don't? Because frankly, I see an awful lot of people whose criteria seems to be either whether they like or dislike the person in question, or whether they themselves are bothered by the thing that the other person is triggered by. And if you are disbelieving people who have genuine psychological harm, that's probably causing them even more harm. Again, how do *you* know whether someone is actually allergic to something or they "just strongly dislike it"? Do you only count people who have an *immediate*, visible, life-threatening anaphylaxis to have "real" allergies? Or would someone who is, oh, just for an example, allergic to tobacco smoke but suffers scratchy throat, itchy eyes, and clogged sinuses for a couple of *days* after exposure but doesn't actually collapse in front of you turning blue, count as an "allergy" in your book? You may not be able to determine if specific person is actually needing trigger warning and/or have allergy and still find unlikely how many of them are. On the other hand, I never had an allergic reaction less than hour after exposure to allergen (except on tests) and it doesn't make the allergy less real. (I'm allergic to nature. Well, it can be probably specified more exactly, but I prefer to avoid nature in spring in general, just to be sure.) How do you react to other sources of iodine? Isn't iodine necessary for survival and for not becoming cretin?

Wizards just have to see a spell enough times to learn it. No spellbooks. Unlikely. Being wizard is just another kind of magical talent which doesn't interfere with getting own spells. Wizard awakened by marking would still be wizard, just like Susan would get summoning-type spells even if her original mark will be something different. I like the idea that two genetic traits needs to combine to form the dangerous rarity. Explains why it's so rare. ... or only appear if MULTIPLE genes are combined in right way. Or both - that is, it's combination of multiple recessive genes. No. Unlike Tedd, she is not so often around other people using spells, so she MIGHT still be one and just not noticed. On the other hand, I find hard to believe Edward didn't tested her. I think it's "gathering magic" is more like charging of wands and it's not able to absorb spells. Remember that Tedd never TRIED to use it to absorb spell. Also, Ellen sort of "overloaded" the beam, so it's still question if it didn't have some special effect. I mean, besides the obvious sideefect of hiding antennae, which shouldn't happen. But yes, even normal V5 beam would keep Vladia transformed unless she TRIES to change form. To be more specific: Uryuom enchantments NEVER stack. Earth-stuff MAY stack - it varies. There is NO "wearing off after energy runs out". It's all about resistance. As Tedd proved by staying as grace 15x longer than the expected time, person can keep transformation they're ok with very long - likely by supplying their own energy to prolong the transformation. The default duration is based on average person resistance.

They MIGHT work for Tedd. He's training a lot and it seems that while he never can get spells of his own, everything else works normally. Actually, the reason is that the high-magic concentration will NOT help her. The Artifact is powered by Jerry, that means that any necessary energy is provided by Jerry. ... I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry personally made sure it worked. Although it was only few months before Hammerchlorians ... maybe he pre-programed it? I suspect that the hammers were supposed to work without people being explained HOW like Susan was. Well definitely no harm in testing, but remember that Ellen's transformation beams are enchantments. We are interested in how Tedd resists non-enchantment spells.
