Did you jump the gun again? I haven't seen a tweet from Dan yet and the URL give a "there is no comic with this ID" message.

Uh, he did, and he said that it is "not showing up yet for some reason" and it "should show up soon".

It is one of those days when I (for one) get an empty box.

He linked the story comic with the mention of the NP not showing up. I didn't see any NP link.

Name-based. Flamboyant. Bombastic. There will be trouble.

Now I see it. Yeah, I thought her name would be too obvious a reason for her to be marked, as odd as this might sound, it might be too cliche even for Pandora.

Also apparently Rhoda has noticed her mark, realized she made the boar big, and told Catalina about it. Which means Rhoda has probably used her spell on other occasions since the boar. That dressing room pinup might be canon after all.

Actually, I think Pandora was referring to Rhoda's sexual orientation.

Also, name-based affinities, I suspect this is part of Magic's flair for the dramatic.

Or Dan's laziness in naming characters that were meant to be minor but are now getting in the limelight. Regardless I have a dislike for the name based magic affinity for likely the same reasons Pandora dislikes it: it's too freaking obvious. Name based affinity is by it's nature cliché and boring. Now if it was something like a dog TF that would be entertaining because of how unexpected it is.

If that's the case, Pandora was apparently having one of her week long naps back in June. Also the secret was apparently kept from Diane only (Rhoda's parents knew and were OK with it, being major liberals and all). So referring to Rhoda's orientation doesn't really make sense here.

 

Also something I forgot to mention in my previous post, if Catalina has been keeping Rhoda's spell secret, the fact that she now knows Elliot has magic, she might consider having Rhoda go to him with questions, kinda like a kindred spirit.

Name-based affinity being the "worst" form may be like puns being considered the "lowest" form of humor by some people.

Anyway, Pandora speaks as if she is clearly familiar with Catalina, so she probably has been watching some of her interactions with Tedd's group of friends (she mentioned Susan and Sarah specifically).

No need to dance around that bush, we know you mean /me

It seems that Pandora has the same feeling about named based powers as DaveB, author of GrrlPower does.

I'm not sure how I feel about name-based affinities, mainly BECAUSE it justifies those name groaners...

It's the reason Susan refuses to go by Tiffany. Tiffany Pompoms= instant cheerleader assumption, heck just having the last name Pompoms probably got some sort of attention drawn to Susan while growing up.

Though it was more Grace letting that slip then Catalina. Elliot only knew that Catalina had a girlfriend, it was Grace's reaction to the kiss that led them to realize it was Rhoda.

Blasphemy.

C'mon, Pandora, give Catalina a spell! She'll be the purrfect pawn in your plan, you know she'll make the meowst of it!

Gee, I wonder why Pandora, who shares a name with the woman who released all the evils in the universe from containment, isn't a big fan of people being empowered based on a name.

 

I can imagine that would rankle, for the universe to discretly snark at her naming decision, and indirectly suggest that she is releasing the potential for great evil into the world.

 

(side note never browse the internet in a dark forest because moths are BLOODY TERRIFYING)

I'm just not feline it.  I'm beginning to think Pandora is only kitten.
