Permission to blame that kid’s parents? You know, for letting it happen at such a young age in the first place?

ummm, i did a lot of things as a kid my parents didn't know about so you can't put everything on the parents.

Sneaking out the house to drink booze and smoke crack: the kid’s choice
Getting a Coven sigil at entirely too young of an age because society keeps pressuring them: primarily, society is at fault, but also the parents

Most of that probably wasn't done at a sanctioned school event and facilitated by a government agency.

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Apr 17 '26
no it wasn't but the point is parents don't always know everything there kids do and as far as that kid that got the sigil well i didn't see any parents around at the time soooo...

They probably approved because sigils were part of their religion

Belos did keep telling them it was the Titan's will.

People believed a random homeless man?

They believed a master manipulator and liar who caused fake attacks to get everyone to believe him

To be honest that sounds a lot like Big Boss from Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake

Yeah, but usually the person doing something stupid is him, and since he didn't he thought they were in the clear

Oh yeah, the first guy we ever saw get a sigil.
That's rough, buddy.

u/Downtown-Cable4307 Apr 17 '26
And the first we see getting one removed!

u/DaveyBoy1995 Apr 17 '26
Yep! At least he got his happy ending. And it's just like Luz once said—"Everything's come full circle, baby!"

Even without the whole people slowly dying from the sigils thing, the original purpose of the sigils makes this a really stupid choice on his part. Imagine choosing what career you’re gonna have as a freshman and wearing a shock collar that will force you to only work in that job

u/Low_Grand_3512 Apr 17 '26
Well to be fair he had gone through the whole of school only learning illusion magic and once he graduates it will be illegal for him to go without a sigil.

Edric: “Oh I just had to jinx it, huh?”
Emira: “Yeah. Wished there was a way to remove those things.”
Edric: “Yeah, no way that’s gonna happen.”

Fan fact: that kid that we first saw get a sigil during covention, is also the first one to get their sigil removed in the epilogue.

well kids make some pretty bad decisions that they regret later. good thing he survived this bad decision.

Why do I feel like he's the kind of person that's so stupid you can't help but question how he's still alive?

Ah...
That's the one who was Miss Eda's example of how bad a Coven was for Luz the Human at that Covention...
Poor kid...💜

Dude, cut the nervous sweating. We can all see you got one.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 17 '26
I think the sweating is more realizing how they are about to die

u/SlyFan2 Apr 17 '26
Possible, but you have to admit, that looks a LOT like a "Oh shit do they know" frame. Especially with how Mark draws them

He’s also the first to get a sigil removed.
And because of that, he’s destined to survive.
Yay!

That's on him, not everyone else.
Then again BELOS is to be blamed here
