    The REAL reason she like shorts is obvious: they're comfy and easy to wear!

    @The Old Hack I think you missed a couple of points, for example.
    “In 2013, I published Big Brother, a novel that grew out of my loss of my own older brother, who in 2009 died from the complications of morbid obesity. I was moved to write the book not only from grief, but also sympathy: in the years before his death, as my brother grew heavier, I saw how dreadfully other people treated him – how he would be seated off in a corner of a restaurant, how the staff would roll their eyes at each other after he’d ordered, though he hadn’t requested more food than anyone else. 
    I was wildly impatient with the way we assess people’s characters these days in accordance with their weight, and tried to get on the page my dismay at how much energy people waste on this matter, sometimes anguishing for years over a few excess pounds. Both author and book were on the side of the angels, or so you would think.
    But in my events to promote Big Brother, I started to notice a pattern. Most of the people buying the book in the signing queue were thin. Especially in the US, fat is now one of those issues where you either have to be one of us, or you’re the enemy. I verified this when I had a long email correspondence with a “Healthy at Any Size” activist, who was incensed by the novel, which she hadn’t even read. Which she refused to read. No amount of explaining that the novel was on her side, that it was a book that was terribly pained by the way heavy people are treated and how unfairly they are judged, could overcome the scrawny author’s photo on the flap.
    She and her colleagues in the fat rights movement did not want my advocacy. I could not weigh in on this material because I did not belong to the club. I found this an artistic, political, and even commercial disappointment – because in the US and the UK, if only skinny-minnies will buy your book, you’ve evaporated the pool of prospective consumers to a puddle.
    I worry that the clamorous world of identity politics is also undermining the very causes its activists claim to back. As a fiction writer, yeah, I do sometimes deem my narrator an Armenian. But that’s only by way of a start. Merely being Armenian is not to have a character as I understand the word. ... 
    Efforts to persuasively enter the lives of others very different from us may fail: that’s a given. But maybe rather than having our heads taken off, we should get a few points for trying. After all, most fiction sucks. Most writing sucks. Most things that people make of any sort suck. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make anything. 
    The answer is that modern cliché: to keep trying to fail better. Anything but be obliged to designate my every character an ageing five-foot-two smartass, and having to set every novel in North Carolina. 
    We fiction writers have to preserve the right to wear many hats – including sombreros.”
    Basically she did all that stuff you said she should do and she constantly tries to better. People get outraged DESPITE that.

    Just noticed... the Grace-ratatta is wearing shorts. Must be because they are comfy and easy to wear...

    I think that's part of the alteration, most likely something Pandora made so Magus new body is the last creation from it.
    For what this means for Abraham, I hope it means he will became free from his self-imposed curse.

    First thought that I had was about this:
    Comic for Monday
    "Oh god it's Friday. WHY IS IT FRIDAY."
    This amused me for some reason.

    My personal teory is that Voltaire is the reason Ted became Lord Ted in that dimension, probably with the help of General Shade Tail.

    Let's see if Pandora gives her full name and give the kids the chance to connect her with Raven.
    *Moperville HS North, on Monday*
    *Raven is drinking a cofee*
    GRACE: Mr. Raven, do you know an immortal called "Pandora Raven"?
    *Cue Raven spit take*
    So basically this is not about Verres screwing Sarah over, it's about giving him plausible deniability.

    Queen also implies being a ruler, i.e. having power of command over it.  I use Demigoddess due to her massive power level. Plus it sounds better than "Fangirl of Chaos" or even "Chaos Aficionado".  Or we could fall back on "Agent of Chaos" or what I've been called "The Ultimate Agent of Entropy".  While Chaos and Entropy aren't quite the same, they are close enough.  Another option, of course would be "Looney's Waifu of Chaos."
