Matoyak got a reaction from The Phoenixian in Story comic for Weds, May 11, 2016
"Ah, my old foe, Nixon!"

Matoyak reacted to Drasvin in Story: Wednesday, April 20, 2016
I just had a thought regarding this comic. What if Pandora wasn't the one controlling Dex? What if it was Voltaire? I know the urn symbol on the pendant hints towards Pandora with the old roots of the Pandora's Box myth, but I'm not sure we've had a definitive yea or nea if that is what the symbol means.
Meanwhile, Dex was mentioning 'for the greater good.' Pandora doesn't really seem like the type to care about the greater good. She cares about her son and things being interesting. I imagine she could use 'for the greater good' as means to manipulate someone into doing something interesting, but what we've seen of her direct action, she prefers to nudge things into motion and then let them develop organically (much more interesting that way).
Voltaire, on the other hand, is certainly willing to use 'for the greater good' to advance his agenda as seen in this comic. I don't know what he would have gained from killing everyone at the dojo, but little is known about Volty's plans or end goal.

Ashley has some similarity to Akiko.
Nanase is reacting as if her little sister was throwing herself at her ex.

It's also possible that Elliot still identifies as male, but can enjoy being female. To Elliot, this may actually be less of a gender identity issue and more of "I'm not going to be a stick in the mud about this and just acknowledge the fact that this is soo freaking amazing".

No, but by that same logic, we shouldn't assume that Sirleck just decided that he wants to possess Adrian.

A few things.
First, there are some people who (to me) look entirely different when not wearing glasses. Charlotte is very much in that group.
Second, a "Pin Up" pic? This is not a particularly attractive pose.
Third, while there is something to be said for candid pictures, this looks more like an invasion of privacy.

It's Elliot's version of Curiosity and Logic, or Diane's angel and devil. Just a representation of his mental state.
I just don't think it's something Dan would introduce. This is the same universe that has magic force transformations as being safe. I don't think magic would then slowly manipulate someone's identity to fit what it thought they were. Just doesn't seem "in character" for Dan's magic system.

The trouble with deciding to label Elliot at this point is that right now, being female is tied up with having special powers. He's reached the point where he's able to admit to himself that he loves being a superhero-female, but we really don't know for sure to what degree he'll like being a girl when being a superhero-male is just as easy to become, with just as many magical advantages. For Elliot, right now, being a girl is superior for too many reasons that don't actually have anything to do with being a girl, for him to really know yet whether the 'girl' part is a factor or not.
It will be interesting to find out. Maybe Elliot will discover a fondness for being a girl based on the same power-tripping "great big tease" reasons Tedd had expressed for wanting to be a sexy female in earlier stories.

Matoyak got a reaction from ProfessorTomoe in What are you learning?
Oh my. That's well beyond my audio engineering skills to handle. I've used Audacity, Sony Acid, Finale, and Reaper, but for mostly relatively basic stuff. Beats, Mashups, original songs, and basic editing and mastering. It's like riding a shetland pony and having someone blast by you on a full blooded Arabian.

I'm generally a man of peace, but these guys are so vile that I will make an exception and gladly cheer on their hopefully violent end.
Bromans is such a good name for them.

Matoyak reacted to The Old Hack in Announcement and apology
Gentle forumgoers all,
Some of you may have noticed that I have been unusually short-tempered and hypersensitive of late. I am afraid that this is not your imagination. Due to RL circumstances I am under an unusually large amount of stress, and I have recently arrived at the reluctant conclusion that it is affecting my judgment. I will attempt to watch this more closely but I would also like to say that if you yourselves feel that I am reacting too strongly, you should not hesitate to point this out.
The ideal would be to find a temporary or permanent addition to the moderator staff to cover for me while my current situation persists, and I intend to take this up with Robin. In the meantime, I apologise to you all and thank you for the patience you have shown.
My best regards,
The Old Hack

Either that, or find a way to make it automatically boot anyone inactive for a certain amount of time, perhaps half an hour.

@Robin the chat room NEEDS the ability to use the /boot command, or some equivalent, either directly or by vote when someone is sitting idle for hours on end.

Considering there are likely multiple videos online with Cheerleadra flying AND being called Elliot, I'm not sure how could the flying be problem. Unless he will fly high enough to meet airplanes.
There IS Neverending Story II movie ... also III.
There MIGHT be flying mode for paragliders or something like that.
... and I doubt he is flying that fast, without shield and with eyes open.
Possibly. Or not. Magic might have something like a mind on it's own, unlike gravitation, but the power of spell likely doesn't depend on what magic thinks about you, but stuff like how much you train (remember Elliot was transforming every night).
So ... I wouldn't think the POWER of Cheerleadra spell is due to trying to find spell he liked. The COOLNESS, on the other hand ...
(It's also possible that normally, he would get several smaller spells instead of one big.)
Disliking and NOT CASTING them, maybe. Casting them every night despite not liking them? I would be confused too. (Elliot was forced to do that because of energy buildups, which are not supposed to happen when awakening normally ... and, would possibly not happen ANYWAY if not for the higher levels of ambient magic.)

Personally, I think it makes as much sense for him and Ellen to be agender or nearly so. The preference for being one or the other sometimes could easily be wanting to experience things differently.
He doesn't really seem to care about the girl vs boy part of it so much? It seems like what he likes about one or the other form has to do with things secondary to gender or the sex of the body: anonymity, feeling attractive in a particular way, gender roles (how people treat him/what people find acceptable), height/perspective, seeing more colors of red, everything cheerleadra... Whereas Tedd seems to have a more basic need to specifically be a girl some of the time. He still enjoys much of the other stuff, but it doesn't seem to be the driving force.
I could be wrong, but I would put Eliot as agender, or agender to mildly genderfluid.

I want to think that Elliot's spellbook was always titled "A Perfectly Normal Book" and the final panel means Elliot got something new.

Just bought the new Ratchet and Clank game. Loving it so far.

Matoyak reacted to Pharaoh RutinTutin in Sketchbook: Thursday April 21 2016
I think this is the best representation of FV5 Greg we have seen so far.
But for some reason, Greg is the one normally male character in EGS we have seen transformed where the transformation does not seem right to me.

I really love FV5 Greg. We need to see more of her!
Also am I the only one who is imagining Justin changing into Justine mid-jump? swish-swish-swish-boing!

Yeah, it's one of my favorite aspects of Dan's stuff. And he's said before that the main bulk of the story was designed to take place when the main crew got into college. If that's still the case, then we've got a LOT to look forward to.

Wasn't Elvis last seen on the Skedar homeworld?
