Good to see you on BlueSky. Hope you will continue the AltText posts that were started which are important. Happy to have a chat.

That allusion is a reference to the deal Vaarsuvius made in Book 4. It refers to both how going after the Dragon Mother ruined the defense of one of the gates (resolved) and the price V hasn’t paid off yet (unresolved).

They had the same architect so unsurprising

New OOTS! #1315, In Case You Were Worried: www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1...

Panel 1: Varsuuvius hovers over the petrified Bloodfeast. Varsuuvius: Shrink Item. Panel 2: Pink magic shrinks the allosaurus statue to the size of a hand. Panel 3: Varsuuvius: Given our…circumstances…I am not certain I know the appropriate words for me to say in this exact situation. Belkar: Well that’s a plus, at least. Varsuuvius: I suppose it would be. Panel 4: Belkar: Now hand over the antidote. Serini: What, now? Belkar: Right now. Panel 5: Belkar: I don’t want any chance we get separated or blasted into the plane of peanut butter or whatever, and then I can’t turn him back. Serini (produces a small bottle): Ugh, fine. Here. Panel 6: Belkar: In fact, we should tie it around his neck. Anyone have a piece of string? Haley: I think I’m insulted you even asked. White cotton or jute twine? Panel 7: Haley has fixed the antidote to Bloodfeast with jute twine . Haley: There you go! All nice and secure. Panel 8: Belkar: And into the bag of holding. You always like it in there. Roy: As heartfelt an emotional journey as this has been-and I mean that sincerely-I think it’s time for us to get moving. Haley: Right! We’ll just grab the secret dragon treasure and leave! Serini: There is no secret dragon treasure. Haley: It was worth a shot! Panel 9: Minrah: Hey, so….Im not going to ask you how you’re doing so you don’t have to pretend you’re doing fine and bottle up your feelings and stuff, OK? Belkar: Yeah, OK. Panel 10: The Order are outside the chamber and on the walkway. Minrah: But I really think it’s going to be fine. Not now, obviously. At some future point. Now it sucks. Belkar: Yeah. And I just can’t shake the feeling that I’m not going to ever see him change back. Roy (Addressing Mimi, who has transformed into an allosaurus): I like your energy Mimi, but let’s maybe keep that idea in our back pocket for now.

Real Accessibility is important and I’m glad BlueSky has the AltText feature for the visually impaired. I was going to do a version of the latest comic but someone has beaten me to it. Check him out. I’ll try for next time.

Sigdi Thundershield on the left and Durkon on the right, the latter of whom tosses his son Kudzu into the air. Not pictured: Loki Worshippers.

I didn’t want to share any of the actual publications decrying this though. Obviously the idea of prejudice against green people being used as equivalent for real issues is something I have strong views on.

Just over two weeks, I’d say.

Because if a character is discriminated against for GREEN skin, that’s just fiction right? Wrong, the job of allegory is to use a “fantasy” mechanic to make people think. #Wicked
