Current expression: Wonderful! *clap clap clap*

I believe the sound effect for that spell is *enbooben*. I imagine that she's letting Tedd figure out how to imprint other people's spells properly, instead of the old way, where he was pretending to reverse engineer the effects of the TG gun to enchant the watches, but was just accidentally imprinting the watches instead. I think that in light of the most recent prior parts of this exchange, she seems a lot more reasonable than most, given her overall state of mind and basic desire to help, even if her mood is capricious. Anyway, Pandora being like Tedd's surrogate mom here is goddamned adorable.

"this doesn't wrap up anyth-" "BYE!" *leaps out of window*

I get the impression that this is why the Hammerchlorians arc happened. I think his endgame is trying to confront magic and resolving the conflict once and for all, by forcing magic's hand. This neatly coincides with many of the other plotlines reaching their end. I am, however, surprised that Elliot has grown to the extent that he is able to plan that far ahead.

yeah, the gay penguin couple just....stole eggs from other nests

It's not 100% guaranteed, but I can confirm that it is entirely possible under the right circumstances. cough.

fingerlegs fingerlegs fingerlegs fingerlegs did sirleck mention something about this plan costing him a lot of his resources earlier? i forgot where that was.

it was a joke

clothing changes are a free action

I think she's more focused on the other girl here than on herself right now.

when your brain has been blown so far out of your skull that the eyes start clipping through your hair

Given the propensity for ridiculous wizard robes and European swords, I think it's safe to assume that there's some extremely vague European connection, given that the DW diamond was created to stop a werewolf curse, and that Pandora's husband was killed by one.

yaaaaay that's all i got, i don't need narrative pacing to tell me what my heart already knows

y'see, this is why i don't keep changing pronouns for tedd until i'm sure of what they've picked for themselves but they've got plenty of time to grow up so i don't feel too disappointed in them shying away from the deeper parts of their psyche

1. be safe precious mad science cinnamon roll 2. Is Tedd subconsciously giving themselves larger boobs out of anger?

they actually ask the first question of noncis children irl, with the added question of whether or not it is worth giving up reproductive capabilities for possibly the rest of their lives also shit's all real and heavy yo

i welcome the glorious return of the :T face

the form actualized by the spell is based primarily on his own thoughts and feelings, so he doesn't have to adhere to those preconceptions if he just lets go of them and focuses on himself side note: "masculine and feminine traits" thank you

Of course it's never simple, but this is already more choice than people have IRL and Tedd still has the TG gun for day to day variances. I'm just talking about his overall comfort in his default FORM. He doesn't have to be technically correct by any contrived measurement, it's about how he feels. Seriously, how would you even measure human feelings by some quantifiable form? Tons of pseudoscientists have tried to judge folks like me using numbers and questionnaires but none of them have ever considered that the only people qualified to make those calls are, well, ourselves. Seriously, is anybody in this discussion right now trans or genderfluid? He doesn't have to necessarily pick a gender, he's picking what his base body will be like without modifications, which may or may not happen to align closely with feminine/masculine forms. It doesn't even need to have a majority of characteristics specifically locked to the concept of the gender binary. Also, there isn't even a "scale" or anything, it's just a combination of preferences which are based on his needs, not anybody else's. It feels like I'm reading a discussion between a whole lot of cisgender guys speculating on how this works like people don't already face these kinds of decisions on a daily basis.

I mean, if he's gender fluid, that just means that he should find a body he's most comfortable staying with (the least amount of body dysmorphia) and do what he wants the rest of the time. That's what a lot of folks I know ended up with. I don't think that it's going to be that easy to bully whatever choice he makes either...I guess it's down to having The Talk with Edward.

I'm assuming that Sirleck's current host is already braindead, but because of Sirleck's method of manipulation, he can keep running bodily functions as long as they will last.

Actually, there's many more now (sometimes nsfw), but thanks for the sentiment.

This comic passed through my life intermittently as I was growing up, and I like to think that it was one of the factors that allowed me to remember a part of myself that I didn't know that I had forgotten. I'm just glad that I'm actually transitioning instead of ending up waiting again, even though I don't know where my life will be later this year.

oh, so that's why the spell uses an excessive amount of energy
