Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
One heck of a nice catch there, dude, kudos!
Now i just wonder if that is intentional...
Also the second one... I think that is a perfect example about how the authors background informs his writing. The idea that both could be sparated make literary criticism boring to me.Hi everyone. Follow s-writing.blogspot.com. Learn to start writing, and also about the legendary King Arthur!

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
So he's a plushy gargoyle. That's... I don't honestly know. Just kinda random at this point. I suspect we'll find out more about it later.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
So he is a gargoyle that lacks pretty much anything that makes being a gargoyle special? Neat. No natural armor, his natural weapons are like being hit by nerf foam, hopefully his wings arent too floppy to fly at least.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
So he's a living doll now instead of a living statue*?
Oh, well, it probably beats his previous state.
Also, it could be worse. He could've come out of it with a actual squishy body made from flesh and blood and skin and stuff**.
As is it isn't the worst out come from a random Reincarnation roll. At least he's still gargoyle-oid and not a talking pillow or something.
As far as body horror goes this is kinda subdued.
Especially for this comic.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.
Depends on if the joke's intentional, I guess.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
I mean, maybe? Today's strip kinda communicates that a little mutual attraction doesn't change that they are on different trajectories. 'Hero doesn't get the adventure-presented love interest' is rare enough* that I'd find it pretty cool if Elli sticks to it.
*Off top of head, I can think of Harry Potter and Pacific Rim as recent examples, and not much else.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
It kind of read as the opposite to me. "I no longer need to rely on you now so I find I have no interest in being with you or anything you're doing." Which is not an unreasonable reaction given the context, but it's still kind of uncomfortable to take in as basically the first major decision they made.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
I mean, not anting to face Kore again is so utterly reasonable its shocking. This poor bugger has spent lord knows how long in subjective time a tormented soul attached to his murderer. And the last thing he would want is to risk going back. That also feeds into his anti day trip to hell stance. He has FELT eternal torment. I dont think him being unwilling to risk it again is unreasonable.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Yea and the way that the two of them were clearly kind of into each other but too awkward and distracted by their own things going on to really make a kind of move was the adorable part anyways. I don't think the read of this that Plush was just being manipulative works at all.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Considering that the entire furrsona was openly created to be Ear's partner as a way for Elli to explore her sexuality...there's approximately a negative % chance they actually leave.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
He was in dire need, and tried to get help from someone nearby as he was blind and compleltely unable to move. Now that he has more agency, he has more choice in what to do. He's acting in self-interest, but in a way that is merely reasonable, and certainly not detrimental to the GAP.
I am in favour of Pawłusz, it's the first time in years I am actually curious about the comic. Beats the angel any day. The whole thing is maybe a bit too mellifluous for my tastes, but even that is something new (MM went from wanting to kill Kin, to being a dumb hero, to being just an idiot, to being a depressed puppy, here the general attitudes seem pretty different).Originally Posted by J.R.R.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Too be fair, the "what now" phase has been deferred till they get out of here. There is still time for minds to change or events to sweep the group away in some manner. Also, we still dont know if Plush can even contribute anything of value to the group other than Ears eye candy. (And dear god this has to be the most obscure and specific preference ever)

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Yes, cobwebs are from cobs, since cob is just an Old English word for spider.
Yay more random dungeon puzzle bovine droppings. Also more dysphoria from plushy Plush.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Oh boy, im wondering, are these magic razor wire webs? If so, this should be fun. Also, I always thought cobwebs was different, basically formed through dust and such gathering together till the weight pulls it down into strands and threads kind of like how icicles form from water dripping and freezing.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Or, more specifically, a spider had once spun a web, then decided to relocate. Or was killed. Or died. The web stayed behind, and since a spiderweb is sticky, floating dust and debris adheres. Eventually, all that weight will pull down on the web, giving it that droopy look.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Huh. I though cobwebs were dust that collected naturally into a web-like shape, not abandoned spider webs that got weighed down by dust.
More spiders in my house than I suspected, I guess.
I'm sad to see Vorpal losing his magic staff. Though as a "unbinds anything" magic item, I can see wanting it to be destroyed lest it become too useful a plot device. (I've wondered if, if it touches the axe, would it just immediately free the demon?)

I am fairly certain that that's how the demon was freed. Ears was fighting Otherside Vorpal. https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/03302016-2

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Huh, we know that Dub was apparently supposed to unite the various goblin tribes because of her wings. But maybe everybody got it wrong.
It's not the goblin who was born with wings who's destined to do it. It'll be the goblin who earned their wings.

Re: Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous
Eh. If people are willing to give her money to support her current lifestyle (meaning the starving artist gig, to be clear) thats their perogative. I personally will not, since I dont really want to encourage somebody to double down on something that obviously isnt doing what they need it to do, but thats just me.
