I think the snap was bone. He couldn’t come back even if he tried.*
(*Unless Red finds it necessary to bring back a tertiary antagonist for some reason.)
Well, every time we’ve seen Gleicann appear/disappear, he’s been accompanied by that SNAP sound. It’s unclear, but I think Red would have differentiated Gleicann’s teleportation sound and Jolon’s death sound. If it was meant to be a bone or spine breaking, Red might have used a CRUNCH instead.
Poor Falst. I mean letting jolon be punished was the right choice. But “I’m a monster” is not a healthy attitude for him 🙁 he needs a hug and a friend ( I’m looking at you Kendal)
(Quest Complete jingle)
Oh Erin, that’s so you! Serious thought though, he probably fully knows now why V.D. fears her and may want to utilise that.
Hmm, did Gleicann kill him outright or did they both go somewhere else? That final panel doesn’t make it very explicit, just that both Gleicann and Jolon aren’t there anymore.
The gang is ok, Jolon is defeated and Falst ends it all with a perfect one-liner. A good end to the week indeed.
I wonder if they’ll address the people of Hilltop about this development. Will the inhabitants believe them when they explain their friendly doctor was creating the beasts?
I think they both went somewhere else. From Gleicann’s line about playing his fearsome role for Jolon, I think whatever Gleicann has in mind is going to be slow and thorough.
I need to say this: I love Falst’s colour scheme. Rustic earth tones are always great but they really suit him, and they’re a nice contrast to the rest of the gang’s saturated yellows, whites, and pinks.
Ok guys I think I need help because I STILL EFFING FEEL BAD FOR JOLON WHAT THE HECK!!!!
He was so precious looking when he was first presented…Red this is bitter sweet what the fuck
Also I very much love Falst’s reaction to JOLON asking for help. It seems…fitting.
(I also noticed how Kendal barked back at Erin UwU)
I was so sad when this character who face planted in his second panel and was completely unfazed by it turned out to be an antagonist. 🙁 Why must you do this to us Red.
Is ‘I’m a monster, remember?’ a cool line to send Jolon off on? Yes. Is it good for Falst to say that? Absolutely not. Someone needs to drag our lionboy off to a blanket fort for cuddles and self-esteem boosts. Or at the very least Kendal and the others need to take him with them on their journey.
Kendal:………okay now that that’s sorted out. Falst do you want to join on a quest to get back The soul of a god.
Falst:………..
Ali: Well, do you
Falst:…….. sure I guess I have nothing to better to you
Also, Kendal being worried for Ali is super adorable. It’s kind reminds me of time that Ali spilled her entire life story. Erin just says That’s so cool and Kendal gives him that death glare. Their relationship is so just so cute. I always thought as a mother and son or like Katara and Aang (without the romantic part.)
Well she seems kinda fine for someone who was sent to the brink of death by an angry bear-thing and was healed by one of the most powerful beings in existence which took the driving seat for a while then just snapped her back into consciousness.
So like
Erin continues to be my favorite character in every respect
He is what all Ravenclaws should aspire to be
(Dunno if he’d actually be in RC, but IMAGINE)
…I guess we should be glad that the chapter cover was apparently a metaphor? Even if it snaps in half now, there’s so little power left inside that it would likely do little, if any, damage.
Nah, Erin is the Smart Guy, Kendal is the Leader/Heart, Alinua is the Big Guy, and Falst is the Lancer to Kendal. At least, that’s how I read the group.
Oh Falst is absolutely the lancer, he saved Kendal just to argue with him, Falst is lancer one hundo percent. Erin smart guy mixed with lil lancer, Kendal leader mixed with heart and a lil big guy, Alinua big guy wit a lil heart, PML big guy with lil lancer, “Crucible” sixth ranger, doesn’t fit in anywhere else
Not sure why I’m saying this here but my sister and parents and literally nobody listens to me so I started reading this comic on webtoons (it’s called sheep + wolf) and the author/artist said that the most recent update was gonna be the last one of the year and I got sad. Then I remembered that there’s gonna be an update tomorrow here and I decided to read the comments section and post something. so yeah if you read all of this thank you for reading my rant and yeah.
Since this is the internet, you will never know my real name.
Kendal: Gryffindor.
Alinua: Gryffindor.
Falst: Gryffindor????
Erin: Ravenclaw all the way.
And obviously, everybody knows who Jolon is. Jolon = Slytherin, because he has a danger noodle/snake.
(As someone wanting to be a researcher, the right question Erin, but the slightly wrong time. The party needs to know if a need for a Plant Kaiju arises.)
I’ve been waiting for panels and panels to say how much I love the way this bit went.
In the hands of a lesser or lazier storyteller, this utter fustercluck of an encounter would have wasted our time with a bunch of cheap, angsty, unsubtle dramatic irony, as the various miscommunications, misunderstandings, and deceptions split the protagonist party and put everyone in jeopardy for utterly frustrating and stupid reasons…
But instead, Red’s characters solve multiple problems by COMMUNICATING CLEARLY, and making RATIONAL DECISIONS based on that communication. And even so, IT WORKS FINE. It’s still a big dramatic fight with a lot of tension. And, bonus, because there’s no *stupid* tension, that leaves far more room for epic, fully-earned, fully character-appropriate tension!
Okay, there’s a little bit of stupid tension, with Erin and Alinua being really pissed, then misdirected, and Kendal not bothering to try and talk them down, but that *stops* being stupid the moment we realize that Kendal understands this, and is trying to head it off! What might be stupid from another writer becomes an in-universe problem for the hero to solve!
BYE JOLONNN, DON’T COME BACK
I think the snap was bone. He couldn’t come back even if he tried.*
(*Unless Red finds it necessary to bring back a tertiary antagonist for some reason.)
Well, every time we’ve seen Gleicann appear/disappear, he’s been accompanied by that SNAP sound. It’s unclear, but I think Red would have differentiated Gleicann’s teleportation sound and Jolon’s death sound. If it was meant to be a bone or spine breaking, Red might have used a CRUNCH instead.
Either way, Jolon is definitely NOT coming back.
Missed that. Can’t say I really pay to much attention to sound affects. It’s also been a while since I read the Gleicann introductions.
Plus, if you look really closely you can see a little plant behind the snap.
YEAH, WE WON’T MISS YOU
HAVE FUN BY YOURSELF, LOSER BOY
“And could you reproduce it in controlled conditions?”
I love nerdy Erin so much
That was certainly scary! Also possibly traumatic, now DO IT AGAIN!
calm down frankenstein
He’s such a passionate researcher at heart, I love him.
Magic Scientist gonna MAGIC SCIENCE.
I can’t decide if I love Falst or Walter more
Who’s Walter?
Walter, great dragon of the void, harbinger of destruction and doom. Also the Lolest, I think.
No? It was TheUnknownGame who’s name is Walter I guess?
Anyways it’s just a nickname the fandom gave to the Void Dragon, it’s not canon.
Yes, I am also named Walter
Walter is what we named the Void Dragon
Before the Void Dragon was named everyone decided to call it Walter and the name is fun so some people still use it
Walter V. Dragon?
Mr. Jolon, Mr.Jolon, o ma fucking gods he fucking dead
Oh no! Anyway…
Nooo! not the d*ckhead!
What do you want me to say?
Anubis: *slides into frame, knife in hand* “CaN I maKe A sUgGEstiOn?”
“We’re not gonna cut him open, Phil!”
“YOu gUYs aRe BOriNg!”
Bye Jolon! What is it they say? Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Maybe you’ll make a lovely tree
I think it’s “don’t let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya.”
That death-glare has won me over. Falst is awesome.
that is one beautiful death glare! And Jolon’s face in response was GREAT!
The glare is Amazing.
Hug incomming!
o snap
Snapped like a twig, fitting
Worst outcome (for Jolon): Gleicann snapped his neck
Most likely one: he turned him into a tree, chimera or some other abomination…
Probably turned into a tree looking from the last panel
(VERY FAINT ALERT)
I think Gleicann grew a tree around Jolon, i.e. Jolon is getting crushed/suffocated to death.
Now he gets to do a very deep study of nature magic – what he always wanted!
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING
Well shit, he dead
Poor Falst. I mean letting jolon be punished was the right choice. But “I’m a monster” is not a healthy attitude for him 🙁 he needs a hug and a friend ( I’m looking at you Kendal)
Hopefully, this will just end up being a case of “hero repeats villains own words back to them” cliche
I dont see it as much of a cliché
Yeah, I LIVE for the callback when the antagonist gets his karmic can of whoopass opened on him.
Yeesssss, gives me “I’m sorry professor, but I must not tell lies” vibe, love the HP movies, wish that line was in the book, it’s so good
But he is not Jolon’s monster anymore.
I have a feeling we will never see Jolon again
Waaaait a moment, is Alinua not gunna get a Kendal hug? Will Falst be getting one instead?
I don’t think it has to be one or the other. Kendall can give them each a hug. What’s the point of his huge godling body otherwise?
I have two arms. One for the each of ya.
Someone give Falst another motivational speech and a hug
OK, have you guys seen the cover art for the next chapter? AAAAAA I’m excited!
I KNOW RIGHT I SAID THAT IN THE LAST PANEL EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(Quest Complete jingle)
Oh Erin, that’s so you! Serious thought though, he probably fully knows now why V.D. fears her and may want to utilise that.
Hmm, did Gleicann kill him outright or did they both go somewhere else? That final panel doesn’t make it very explicit, just that both Gleicann and Jolon aren’t there anymore.
The gang is ok, Jolon is defeated and Falst ends it all with a perfect one-liner. A good end to the week indeed.
I wonder if they’ll address the people of Hilltop about this development. Will the inhabitants believe them when they explain their friendly doctor was creating the beasts?
“Did Jolon just… die?”
“You know, it was really unclear.”
Ember Island Players; nice.
I think they both went somewhere else. From Gleicann’s line about playing his fearsome role for Jolon, I think whatever Gleicann has in mind is going to be slow and thorough.
I need to say this: I love Falst’s colour scheme. Rustic earth tones are always great but they really suit him, and they’re a nice contrast to the rest of the gang’s saturated yellows, whites, and pinks.
Huh
That >>snap<< is probably my new favorite onomatopoeia of this comic
Someone hug Falst right now! He probably would not appreciate that…
Seriously i am so tempted to just start like campaign get him some free hugs. too bad he isn’t real. I love so much.
Ok guys I think I need help because I STILL EFFING FEEL BAD FOR JOLON WHAT THE HECK!!!!
He was so precious looking when he was first presented…Red this is bitter sweet what the fuck
Also I very much love Falst’s reaction to JOLON asking for help. It seems…fitting.
(I also noticed how Kendal barked back at Erin UwU)
I was so sad when this character who face planted in his second panel and was completely unfazed by it turned out to be an antagonist. 🙁 Why must you do this to us Red.
“And could you reproduce it in controlled conditions?” is Erin’s best line so far omg
Is ‘I’m a monster, remember?’ a cool line to send Jolon off on? Yes. Is it good for Falst to say that? Absolutely not. Someone needs to drag our lionboy off to a blanket fort for cuddles and self-esteem boosts. Or at the very least Kendal and the others need to take him with them on their journey.
Kendal: IS EVERYONE OKAY?
Alunia: what just happened?
Erin: can we do that again?
…
Falst: Shut up guys I’m having a self-identity crisis!
yeouch, and RIP
(Rest In Potatoes; no peace, only potatoes)
More like Rest In Pine…
Well that was fun. Also, your party has gained a member.
Jolon is going to Brazil.
Kendal:………okay now that that’s sorted out. Falst do you want to join on a quest to get back The soul of a god.
Falst:………..
Ali: Well, do you
Falst:…….. sure I guess I have nothing to better to you
Also, Kendal being worried for Ali is super adorable. It’s kind reminds me of time that Ali spilled her entire life story. Erin just says That’s so cool and Kendal gives him that death glare. Their relationship is so just so cute. I always thought as a mother and son or like Katara and Aang (without the romantic part.)
um … so where did Jolon’s last two critters go? Galdr and the one that was chewing on the lacrima … ?
I’m pretty sure Galdr was the one chewing on the lacrima
No, Galdr had horns. The lacrima-chewer’s name is unknown to us. Galdr was the one who nearly killed Alinua and who bruised Kendal’s throat.
Unrelated but I love how we have the Dark Floof and Life Mum
Well she seems kinda fine for someone who was sent to the brink of death by an angry bear-thing and was healed by one of the most powerful beings in existence which took the driving seat for a while then just snapped her back into consciousness.
Oh and Jolon is so absolutely doomed.
Gleicann was made more monstrous and fearsome by him and I guess he’s going to slowly turn him into fertiliser.
So like
Erin continues to be my favorite character in every respect
He is what all Ravenclaws should aspire to be
(Dunno if he’d actually be in RC, but IMAGINE)
I agree. I feel like he would 100% be a Ravenclaw but, I honestly can’t decide which one is favorite. They’re all so awesome and adorable!!!
*Pompous Nitwit Voice* I’m a Ravenclaw (with a good bit of Slytherin) so this has my approval.
Seriously, is the lacrima gonna break or not?
…I guess we should be glad that the chapter cover was apparently a metaphor? Even if it snaps in half now, there’s so little power left inside that it would likely do little, if any, damage.
To be fair, the lacrima did cause a huge release of life magic energy, if indirectly.
I agree. I feel like he would 100% be a Ravenclaw but, I honestly can’t decide which one is favorite. They’re all so awesome and adorable!!!
Never change Erin, never change. *chuckles*
I think we have found our Lancer everyone.
Are you talking about Falst? Or Erin?
Nah, Erin is the Smart Guy, Kendal is the Leader/Heart, Alinua is the Big Guy, and Falst is the Lancer to Kendal. At least, that’s how I read the group.
I also think of Alinua as the mom.
Oh Falst is absolutely the lancer, he saved Kendal just to argue with him, Falst is lancer one hundo percent. Erin smart guy mixed with lil lancer, Kendal leader mixed with heart and a lil big guy, Alinua big guy wit a lil heart, PML big guy with lil lancer, “Crucible” sixth ranger, doesn’t fit in anywhere else
What just happened
Not sure why I’m saying this here but my sister and parents and literally nobody listens to me so I started reading this comic on webtoons (it’s called sheep + wolf) and the author/artist said that the most recent update was gonna be the last one of the year and I got sad. Then I remembered that there’s gonna be an update tomorrow here and I decided to read the comments section and post something. so yeah if you read all of this thank you for reading my rant and yeah.
OMG, I love this comic.
Kendal: Gryffindor.
Alinua: Gryffindor.
Falst: Gryffindor????
Erin: Ravenclaw all the way.
And obviously, everybody knows who Jolon is. Jolon = Slytherin, because he has a danger noodle/snake.
Erin = Telemain from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles
YES Im so happy im not the only one who read that. Ali’s a bit like morwen
alright the falst death glare won me over
*adds to infinite list of fictional crushes, which already includes kendal and erin among many others*
TL;DR: The rest of the Floofcrew checks on Pink floof, Plant man disappears with Chimera dad.
Aaaah, poetic justice. When the words of the A-hole comes back to haunt them, and gets spat back in their face right at the mist inopportune of times.
Yeah, what’s the trope name for that?
*breaks doctor guy’s neck and/or back* he deserved it.
If Gleicann can make Kendel seem small…just imagine how tiny Falst would be standing next to him…
Alt text: welp, byeeeee
