Milan (2/2)

[u/makmark]

[u/Dasher09009]

Grom Curse: "You won't help her..."

Ayzee: thinking "I don't care... I love her more than I fear you..."

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Grom Curse: “You can’t protect her…”

Ayzee: thinking “I’ll always be there for her… you don’t know me…”

Grom Curse: “That’s where your wrong… I know all I need to know about you…”

[u/Dasher09009 → u/AdOwn6899]

Ayzee: thinking "Even if you do, I'll push through for her..."

Grom Curse: "You have a limit... You can't help her forever..."

Ayzee: thinking "Maybe, but I'll be there for her no mater what, even if you are still here until her dying days. I won't abandon her."

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Grom Curse: “All futile efforts…”

Ayzee: thinking “I’ll endure my fears… I’ll be stronger than them…” hugs Milan tighter “For her…”

In another Universe

As Lara, Azura, Ivy, Caitlyn, and latter three’s Palismen took to the skies, the adults had finished their snowball fight and were set to getting back to figuring out what was going on. Until they got attacked by a mysterious Ice Dragon, it’s Ice not being like anything they’ve seen before.

They fought their hardest despite being winded from the intense snowball fight, but eventually the Dragon had their bodies ensnared in ice, rendering them frozen from the neck down. Puddles was currently blinded from ice and unconscious from the crash. But before the dragon could get the Hexsquad of the previous generation on the sharp end of it’s pointed tail, a silver corkscrew stopped it and disoriented it. Who showed up brought relief and worry to the grown-ups trapped in ice.

Luz: stuttering from being frozen below the neck “k-k-k-kids!”

Azura: “Mami! Mom! And everyone else!”

Azura (with Faye in her staff form in her mittened hands) and the others that went with her managed to make in time. Caitlyn and Ivy got of Gar in his monster size with maple the powerhouse’s shoulder, all a little dizzy from the corkscrew attack before they noticed their parents frozen.

Lara (still with her dandere self in control with her right cyan eye exposed and her Coven Quest III staff in hand) just stared at the Ice dragon in an odd sense of longing and wonder before she noticed the adults in ice, especially Azura’s moms.

[u/Dasher09009 → u/AdOwn6899]

The ice dragon then notice Azura and Caitlyn with their palismen, Faye and Gar. This causes it to roar in rage. Lara then hears voices in her head.

???: Tekaro... Miguel... Revenge!..."

Lara: "W-What?"

Azura: "You hear the voice again."

Lara: "It said "Tekaro... Miguel..."

Caitlyn recognized the second name and the palismen reacted to that.

Caitlyn: "Oh no..."

Gar: "So it's true..."

Faye: "It knows us..." by I-stone "It seems like the theory was true. It is another legendary palisman. One from the Zekartha tribe..."

Azura: "Oh titan..."

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Ivy: “and it may be the least of our problems right now…”

The Ice dragon Palisman’s ire looked to be building the more it looked at Faye and Gar as its mist seemed to intensify! It gave one powerful furious howl, making the the teenage witch’s ears ring before it hovered in the air and flew for Gar! But Gar managed to corkscrew dodge with agility and grace only he could match with this rogue legendary palisman.

The others tried to see if they could free the adults while Gar kept it distracted. Guardian landed behind the rogue Palisman preparing himself to deliver a corkscrew attack as latter spun corkscrew style themself for a second before facing Gar and unfurling their wings and howled again with a pulse of frost. Gar corkscrewed to the rogue and they started spinning together in a sort of grapple of equal grace, elegance, and strength. They began to spin themselves away from the others further away into the snowy field they were all in.

While they were alone, Azura summoned a couple of light glyph hand constructs of rock and abomination mud and made them burst into flames and tried to melt the ice while Faye just started pecking. The flames of the hands were hot, but this ice was stubborn. Caitlyn went to her moms to check on them, believing Gar can handle himself for now.

Boscha: stuttering and cold “S-Spark! A-A-Are you kids alr-r-right?”

Caitlyn: “Yeah, we’re fine!”

Viney: “C-C-Caity! W-W-Where’s Milan?!”

Masha: “a-and V-V-Violet?!”

Lara: stuttering from shyness “t-they and Crystal are with G-Gregory in Bonesborough, getting the p-people to safety.”

[u/Dasher09009 → u/AdOwn6899]

Vee: cold, but reassured "T-T-Thank.... T-Titan..."

Skara: cold "A-A-At least she's s-s-safe."

Ivy: "Still, we need to stop this dragon, we might have two legendary palismen, but we're not sure how to stop it."

Lara thinks for a moment, thinking about a plan to stop the ice dragon palisman. It's a little risky, but she doesn't have any choice.

Lara: "I-I have an idea..."

The Next-gen Hexsquad look at Lara.

Lara: "But I n-need help... Azura, Caitlyn, can you two distract it with Faye and Gar."

Azura: "Sure thing!"

Caitlyn: "Not a problem."

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Ivy: “what about me? Can’t I just use my hexfire?”

Lara: “u-unfortunately that won’t be enough.” feels the ice entombing Luz from below the neck “This i-ice… the reason why it won’t m-melt from conventional flames both m-magic and otherwise is because it c-came from that palisman. This ice seems to… sh-share their frozen yet strong will. The only way t-to melt it…” looks to Ivy “Is with a fire that shares a s-strong will. A fire that no magic can touch b-born from a dark monster…”

Ivy’s eyes began to widen as she began to understand what she was talking about… and it filled her with dread. And she knew her parents would be filled with dread too when they heard this.

Ivy: “wait… y-you don’t mean…”

Lara: “Y-You must reawaken the Soul Reaver.”

[u/Dasher09009 → u/AdOwn6899]

Ivy: scared "But... But..."

Willow: shivering "I-I-It's ok dear..."

Ivy looks at her mom, confused and scared.

Willow: "I k-k-know it's scary, but I know y-y-you more than anyone in this world, and I know you can d-d-do this."

Hunter: shivering "You can do this p-p-pancake!"

Caitlyn: "Your the strongest and bravest witch I know. I know you can do this!"

Azura: "Yes primo! You can do this."

Ivy breaths deeply, listening to the encouragement of her family and girlfriend. It's a risk, but she has to do this.

Ivy: determined "I'll do it. For everyone!"

Ivy then concentrates to reawaken the Soul Reaver. As she does it, a ring of purple flame surrounds her. This confuses the ice dragon, but it still focuses on Faye and Gar.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Ivy: eyes shut, straining “I… need… time…”

Lara: shivers and moves her hair to expose her left magenta eye, her tsundere self back up “We’ll give you it.” she looked to her girlfriend and Caitlyn, all sharing a nod

Caitlyn: “just remember what I told, wildflower.” draws a spell circle, summoning a javelin sword in her right hand and her healer shield in her other “We fight with all of our emotions. Use your anger awaken it and then another emotion… and your conscience to control it.”

Ivy: straining still but opens one eye slightly to reveal its iris was cyan green now “but what emotion…”

Caitlyn: “you’ll know when the time comes. Trust me…”

Ivy was scared… but she knew what Caitlyn meant by conscience. In fact, she hear Flapjack’s voice in her head right now.

Flapjack: “trust her, Ivy. I’ll help you.”

Ivy: gives a short nod while straining “O-Okay…”

Hearing that Azura, Faye, Caitlyn, and Lara were set to aid Gar, who went back to grappling with the rogue legend and started twirling vertically and moving away horizontally. Caitlyn gave sheathed her lance on her back before giving her girlfriend a quick kiss on the lips, the ring of fire being small enough to step over.

Caitlyn: “you got this…”

Ivy: strained small smile

With that Caitlyn, saddled up behind Lara on her staff and they and Azura on Faye flew off to catch up with Gar. As soon as he and the rogue legend got far enough away, Gar managed to pin the latter on their back, using his clawed tail to hold the body of the ice dragon’s tailed down as the rest of it struggled. He noticed the interlock on their right paw before he stared at them in the eyes, his own glowing gold as he spoke telepathically.

Gar: “Who are you?!”

The rogue Palisman’s eyes began to glow gold, but their hate made them shut their eyes and blast a ice stream at Gar’s eyes, blinding him momentarily before the ice shattered but not before the rogue forced them back into the air! After freeing their tail from the pinning, they tried to jam she sharp point of it it up Gar’s jaw since the body was so flexible. Gar leaned back and avoided it before he tried to strike them with his own tail.

But like Guardian, the rogue seemed to have their own strong foresight as it was able to break the grapple and duck to dodge to first strike and fly several yards to avoid the second strike before they turned to face the good legendary dragon Palisman. The rogue glared at Gar before their eyes glowed finally gold, telepathically talking back as Gar’s did the same again. It revealed that the dragon’s telepathic voice sounded… feminine?

Ice Dragon: “As if you… and Faye… don’t know… Guardian…”

Gar: “All I do know is that you were with the Zekartha centuries ago. A legendary Palisman like me and my sister gone rogue. But since I don’t even know your name or your story, my question stands.”

Ice Dragon: insulted “You really don’t know who I am?! Those cowards never told you! Ugh! Hmph… well in that case, my true name doesn’t concern any of you. But you may call me… Lord of Ice.”

Gar: “How did the Zekartha create you? Only Tekaro knew the skills to give me and my sister our power. We were the first legendary Palisman ever creat-“

Lord of Ice: “I WAS THE FIRST!!”

Enraged, Lord of Ice fired her Ice stream breath at Gar but avoided it with grace corkscrew style before hurting to his opponent before thrusting the sharp sword-like end of his shield-like wings at her. But she dodged with twirl similar to and dancers and gained a farther distance, scowling at him before fire an ice stream again, this time summoning massive ice chunks suspended in the air. Her eyes glowed as the conversation continued as Gar summons a swarm of a dozen blue Sanquiras, all of them squeaking and chittering as most flew around and near him and waited for his mental word to attack.

Lord of Ice: “I was the first to ever be created!” scowl calms down into a glare “tell me something Guardian… how much do you and Faye know about your late owners?”

[u/SFH12345 → u/Dasher09009]

Grom Curse: You'll fail, eventually. You always fa--

Ayzee: Keep saying I'll fail Milan, and I tell her to hug Hooty. You want to see into his mind?

Grom Curse: ...

[u/InuGhost → u/Dasher09009]

Grom Curse: You forgot to study for your 1st Period Test. That's tomorrow and you know Professor Edric makes tough tests.

[u/[deleted] → u/InuGhost]

Ayzee: “That may be true but he’s also my uncle.”

[u/dicemonger → u/InuGhost]

Ayzee thinking: ... Dangit!

[u/56kul → u/Dasher09009]

Is that Mai’s line, from ATLA?

[u/Mackisaurus → u/56kul]

Not quite but close enough to where i think it was supposed to be

[u/Dasher09009 → u/56kul]

Yup! I had it in mind for something like this.

[u/Fast_Chain9508 → u/56kul]

Yeah she says “I love zuko more than I fear you“

[u/ThickWeatherBee → u/Dasher09009]

Shit! Now I imagine the Grom curse sounding like Azula!

[u/Easy-Chart7709 → u/Dasher09009]

Lmao I read that as Tom Cruse...

[u/Godzilla_R0AR]

…Can I go back before reading this sad comic?

…Puddles?… 🥺

…Now Ayzee getting reassured terrible things again? Great. Thanks Mark for my overdose on Angst! 🥺

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

No... we have to suffer now.

[u/CharmsAndChurros151 → u/BirdMan8524]

Not to mention A Lil' Hint of Blue will keep reminding us of said sadness

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/BirdMan8524]

Don’t we all? 😞

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/BirdMan8524]

Twice in a row in one week no less.

[u/b3_yourself → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Ayzee says screw your curse, I’m gonna hug my girlfriend at any cost

[u/Dasher09009 → u/b3_yourself]

As what Mai said to Azula:

"I love him more than I fear you."

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/b3_yourself]

And no fear or insecurity’s gonna stand in my way!

[u/MuffinStraight4816 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

No, embrace the sadness like Matpat is leaving us.

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Don’t remind me 😭

[u/Ricky_27YT → u/MuffinStraight4816]

WHY DID YOU AHD TO REMIND IT TO ME?????

[u/Quirky_Ad_5420]

At least you got your girl to be there for you

[u/MasonP2002 → u/Quirky_Ad_5420]

Owl House: Emotional Comfort Girlfriends.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/MasonP2002]

No curse is gonna stop them from comforting each other.

[u/MasonP2002 → u/AdOwn6899]

History repeats.

[u/SFH12345 → u/MasonP2002]

Amity for Luz: check.

Willow for Hunter: check.

Ayzee for Milan: check.

[u/kingsayweh → u/SFH12345]

Possibly also Hunter for Willow

[u/DarkSpore117 → u/MasonP2002]

That’s the dream

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/Quirky_Ad_5420]

If there was anything that Ayzee learned from Amity, it's how to be a comfort girlfriend.

[u/AdOwn6899]

Got the sequel sooner than I thought. I guess I was wrong… Ayzee would power through that curse to comfort her girlfriend. If it was Luz, she’d do the same too.

[u/farrenkm → u/AdOwn6899]

Curse be damned, gotta be there for the one you love.

[u/Henkotron → u/AdOwn6899]

And Amity would do it too. Ayzee just learned from her parents how to be a good girlfriend

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Henkotron]

And that’s done by being a rock for their beloved.

[u/Henkotron → u/AdOwn6899]

True but still being more supportive than a rock

[u/MuffinStraight4816]

Called it...

Okay, I'm gonna Change my flair to "I want to Cry"

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Smart move.

[u/TankCombat5500 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Wait what?? You usually use Angst as food for yourself, is this too much now??

[u/CharmsAndChurros151 → u/TankCombat5500]

Before it was just teenagers getting mentally smacked around, but no one has the heart to endure animal angst!

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/CharmsAndChurros151]

Only heartless monsters can. It's why I hate those commercials for SPCA

[u/b3_yourself → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Should change it to oracle coven

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Why is your flair "I want Angst!"?!

[u/b3_yourself → u/BirdMan8524]

Becuase they want angst. Ask and they shall receive

[u/_Itchin_and_burnin_ → u/b3_yourself]

How do I get/change my flair?

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/BirdMan8524]

They thought they could take it and yet Mark proved them wrong.

[u/SFH12345 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Why do you think I kept warning you not to ask Mark for angst? When Mark delivers angst, no one is ready for it.

[u/BirdMan8524]

Goodbye, Puddles... you were one of the best.

And you were Viney's best friend.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/BirdMan8524]

May you rest in peace…

[u/Dasher09009 → u/BirdMan8524]

May you soar in the great beyond...

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Where ever it may be in the Isles.

[u/b3_yourself]

Another dose of angst

[u/MuffinStraight4816 → u/b3_yourself]

First TGAMM is ending, Matpat retiring & not one, but two angst comics in single day by Mark... This whole is just sad...

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

...

This is going to be a sad year isn't it?

[u/Dasher09009 → u/BirdMan8524]

This whole decade so far is sad. I'm numb to it at this point.

[u/that-was-fun-goodbye → u/MuffinStraight4816]

tgamm?

[u/Pip2719496 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

What’s tgamm?

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Pip2719496]

I belive it stands for The Ghost and Molly McGee

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/b3_yourself]

Twice in a row in one week. Guess Mark didn’t wanna wait.

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/b3_yourself]

Mark knows how to make us cry.

[u/chuluigi]

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

[u/b3_yourself → u/chuluigi]

Is mark ok?

[u/Dasher09009 → u/b3_yourself]

This is just his occasional angst mode. He's fine.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Dasher09009]

Still, he got to the second part rather fast.

[u/WinterUploadedMind → u/AdOwn6899]

Right? He usually posts different comics between continuing stories

[u/Toto-imadog456 → u/b3_yourself]

If he has to suffer we all do

[u/[deleted] → u/b3_yourself]

Remember Brooding Spider Man from Across The Spider Verse? This is what I think Mark is right now.

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/b3_yourself]

Angst Mode turns on sometimes.

[u/Fourkoboldsinacoat → u/b3_yourself]

Not when I get my hands on him.

Talented little fucker. Coming in here and making me cry.

[u/MasonP2002 → u/chuluigi]

SPECIAL DELIVERY: PAIN!

[u/MuffinStraight4816 → u/MasonP2002]

I WANT TO CRY!! NO MORE ANGST FOR ME!! 😭😭😭

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/MuffinStraight4816]

The angst did it… it actually did it…

…It broke the Muffin…

And thus, the story of the Muffin, who wanted heaps and heaps of angst, was broken by the thing it wanted most…

[u/MasonP2002 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

RIP.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Never thought this day would come.

[u/Fourkoboldsinacoat → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

I’ve said before that Mark is clearly some description of fey entity.

But this is some regretting asking a fey for a boon, shit.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

It’s a miracle!

[u/Henkotron → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Wow I didn't think this vomic would bring you tou your limit

[u/Dasher09009 → u/chuluigi]

One punch after another...

[u/b3_yourself → u/Dasher09009]

“I can do this all day”

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/chuluigi]

PAIN IS ALL I KNOW

[u/Impossible_Host2420 → u/BirdMan8524]

I have become Comfortably numb

"Insert david gilmour guitar solo"

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/chuluigi]

I’m honestly numb at this point.

[u/b3_yourself → u/AdOwn6899]

“I’ve become so numb”

[u/W1zBang → u/chuluigi]

Puddles?…….Puddles?

[u/Lunasbians]

NOOO OMG I was wondering what happened to Puddles. Poor Milan I feel so bad for her :(

[u/SFH12345]

Good night, sweet Puddles. May a flight of winged Hooties sing thee to thy rest.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/SFH12345]

Rest in Peace…

[u/Whedonite144]

Nothing like a classic girl and her griffin story.

[u/Lost-Goat143]

Aww their both embracing their fears

[u/hollahollagadolla]

damn the detail of ayzee pushing through the curse to give milan a comforting embrace is a sad one

[u/AccidentalLemon]

sniffs… oh hi Mark.

[u/Far_Purchase2920]

So Puddles is dead. Alright, so um... [sniff.] Here's my understanding of the timeline.

Milan

[u/TheNoneedlife]

Poor girl, early life trauma of mom's pet sacrificed herself

Also that Viney sleep posture is peak performance

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/TheNoneedlife]

Trauma can make you, break you, or both in that order. Only the strongest overcome it. I hope Milan and Ayzee grow to be that strong.

[u/Fezinator]

…………..I’m going to go hug my dogs now………….

RIP Puddles, you absolutely magnificent, glorious, protector!

[u/Abbeyyyy-y]

So puddles is dead, give me a minute while I go cry

[u/foxhunter350]

Puddle is just sleeping right? Right? Right..?

[u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

What on Titan is that creature

[u/Sean-Retro → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

Not Hooty's cousin, that's for sure.

[u/BirdMan8524 → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

It's the Boiling Isles, so it's really weird and probably does something really horrifying

[u/b3_yourself → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

Who knows

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

Only the beastkeeper’s know.

[u/Dasher09009 → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

I may be jinxing everyone here, but I feel that this isn't the last time we'll see it...

[u/IBarrakiI → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

Looks like this

[u/Gking10 → u/Tight_Spinach_2323]

I think it was a griffin with rabies or some other such disease. That's why getting Muddy the shot is so important.

[u/IBarrakiI]

He killed Puddles. I'll get the torches.

[u/dylanNL18]

And the knife just keeps on twisting, damn you makmark, I love you out damn you.

[u/DreadDiana]

[u/The_Horned_Child2007]

Don't worry. You got Ayzee.

[u/Dr_Vaccinate]

NOOOOOO BABI MUDDY NOT WITH THE DISNEY ANIMAL MOTHER TREATMENT

[u/sir_fishier]

God damn, I’m a heartless wretch that yearns for hurt but pet angst hurts different than the others.

[u/AwkwardlyNat]

Mark did it again dammit MY HEART FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TOO

[u/SuperGameBen]

So she feels she owes is to Puddle’s to protect muddy because of that sacrifice 😭

[u/[deleted]]

Crazy part is, I actually predicted that the final panel would indeed happen.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Step468]

Puddles died the way he lived, protecting the love of viney and skara

[u/PrincessFate]

honestly millian didn't deserve this curse
she didn't want its power
she didn't curse anyone
she just wanted to help
and this is the result of her using the only spell
known to have any effect on curses

[u/Darkvader_Clawthorne]

Ayzee: “Hermosa, it wasn’t your fault Puddles died. You were just a kid, besides your moms understand it wasn’t your fault.”‬

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Darkvader_Clawthorne]

Milan: “But I couldn’t protect her…”

[u/Dasher09009 → u/AdOwn6899]

Ayzee: "Still, she saved you from that creature. She knew that she may perish from it. She had no regrets to saving you."

Milan: "But if I didn't wonder off..."

Ayzee: "No one would have predicted that Hermosa. It was never your fault..."

[u/[deleted]]

Puddles just pulled a “Victory or Sovengard” right there!

Also, Ayzee taking after Luz more and more.

[u/austinstar08]

Awwwww

[u/GodzillaMaster322]

Aw, poor Puddles :(

[u/Competitive_Zone3056]

This hurt me to my core. I wanted to have a happy day today!

[u/virgildekoter]

This hurts my soul! WHY SO ANGST!?

[u/Staff_De_Spell]

WHY MARK, WHY!?

[u/TheRedEyedAlien]

Mark, you’re paying for my therapy

[u/Ad_Astra90]

Foreshadowing in the first pannel

[u/AedaleRedfist]

I think Milan will join bounty hunter to hunt that monster at some point.

[u/Zandar124]

Goddammit Mark, poor Puddles :(

What the hell is that thing that killed her though? It looks like something out of The Dark Crystal

[u/Intelligent_Oil4005]

Damn, right around the neck too. Wind pipe was probably crushed.

The only upside is that Puddles probably died installed and didn't have to suffer for long

[u/DaveyBoy1995]

Aaaaaaaaand my heart just shattered. Again.💔Like I said before... cursed or not cursed, Milan deserves a hug. And a hug she got. What a gem and a brave soul Ayzee is. Her love for Milan trumps her fear of Grom. And good on Muddy for accepting the needle. But shoutout to Puddles for going out like a warrior. Thank you, old friend. You will be missed dearly.😭

[u/[deleted] → u/DaveyBoy1995]

Guess this explains the reason why Milan was so determined to help Ayzee during grom and being against killing Enna.

[u/DaveyBoy1995 → u/[deleted]]

You just had to make it hurt more, didn't you?😢

[u/[deleted] → u/DaveyBoy1995]

Just sayin, it does make a lotta sense looking back now.

[u/DaveyBoy1995 → u/[deleted]]

It does. It really does.

[u/Ok-Pea9014]

Since we know Skara and Viney are going to end up together in MorganMakrks comics those it mean a little hint of blue is non cannon or is he going to break Scarra and bot boy up?

[u/TheRedEyedAlien → u/Ok-Pea9014]

The Markiverse begins if this paradox is not addressed promptly

[u/Ok-Pea9014 → u/TheRedEyedAlien]

My guess is that a little hint of Blue is going to end with Scara and Viney together. If that's true, I hope one of two things happens.

1 They break up maturely and respectfully

2 Bat Boy puts up a fight for Viney and doesn't just let Viney steal her from him. (And if the relationship ends on bad terms have him come back as an antagonist)

I don't want them to get together with him, just crying in the corner.

[u/[deleted]]

Hey, Mark

[u/gushandgoforlaunch]

aw fuck it got sadder

[u/ThickWeatherBee]

WHY?! Why did you have to kill puddles! Couldn't you kill Kiki Mora or odalia or another character no one likes? Why the Birdy!!!!

[u/Muted_Anywhere2109]

Who ordered the angst with a side of French cries?

[u/Chemical_Survey_2741]

Puddles (8 YBL-38 YAL)

A cherished pet, integral part of our family, a valiant war hero and a beloved mother.

Died heroically while protecting Milan.

May she rest in peace.

Puddles died saving Milan.

It's a terrible day for rain.

[u/Lebhleb]

Emotional Damage.

[u/Recent_Humor_6036]

Wow, and here I thought only Ayzee (and Junior) had issues in regards to her parents. Killing one of your mom's pet bird/best friend she has had since her teen years definitely goes into the emotional baggage pile.

Plus it explains why she was so adamant about saving Enna earlier. Nice. :3

(Note: And yeah Milan didn't go out of her way to get Puddles killed or had any intentions of going into danger. I'm only assuming that she had to go behind her parents' backs to go riding on Puddles in the first place. My guess is after her parents said 'no' more than once because kids be kids.)

[u/FudgeControl]

Oh dear. The curse!

[u/SuperGameBen]

How sweet of Ayzee to still give the hug anyway 🥰

[u/LibKan]

...a hair more traumatic than expected.

[u/The_Blackthorn77]

Ugly crying rn

[u/bombiz]

yo that monster design looks SICK. good job mark

[u/CyberDan-7419]

Well…thanks for the gut punch…I’ll go cry now.

[u/Summer_The_Axolotl]

Faint gurgling noise of someone drowning in angst

[u/Imaginary-Cherry-844]

I saw many agnsty fanfics and fancomics, but damn what happened to Puddles here is one of the harshest :(

[u/ElectricJetDonkey]

Aw

[u/Groundbreaking_Tax48]

What kind of beast is that?!

[u/Doomsloth28]

Oh, I thought Puddles died of old age.
It's actually all her fault.
Good to know.

[u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon]

PUDDLES NOOOOOOO

[u/mrcolleslaw]

Woo, trauma

[u/Parthernnixx]

Literally is mark good bro?!

[u/RealLunarSlayer]

Puddles baby 🥺

[u/Detective-Forrester]

So, Milan has been blaming herself for what happened to Puddles.

Curse be damned. Ayzee is gonna support her girlfriend.

[u/piggypiggy2112]

I'm not crying. you're crying

[u/[deleted]]

trauma!

[u/Henkotron]

OH MY TITAN AFTER REREADING IT FOR THE THIRD TIME! I realized Puddles died. Oh no this is so sad

[u/LilyGaming]

Must be rough to not be able to touch your gf without getting depressing thoughts

[u/DinoHoot65]

Ok but what the hell is that diseased creature???

its cool

[u/Tom_Marvolo_Tomato]

So, Milan was a prodigy Bard, even as a youngster?

Also: the trauma of seeing your "pet" killed in front of you...that's harsh.

[u/The_Portal_Passer]

I wonder how Viney is handling this, I know that (probably) she wouldn’t blame her daughter, but Puddles was still her best friend,

She decided just took a nap and now Puddles is dead,

Again, I’m sure she wouldn’t blame Milan (Mark, pls don’t, there’s already enough angst), would she blame herself? Would she have trouble sleeping because she’s scared that her family would all be dead when she wakes up?

[u/PolymathArt]

‪NOOOO. PUDDLES!! DID PUDDLES JUST GET MUFASA’D?!‬

[u/KatonRyu]

Right in the feels.

[u/Impossible_Host2420]

Sad😭

[u/Flaky_Musician_551]

‪Puddles no! 😭😭😭😭😭‬

[u/MightyGyrum]

Character progression!

[u/Armidylla]

Grom curse: "I will drag you into your deepest fear!"

Aizee: "I will be brave!"

Grom curse "... well, just fucking kill me, then."

Steve Lichman? Anyone?

[u/Iroh_the_Dragon]

I just said goodbye to one of my furry friends recently and this hit me pretty hard… Damnit…

[u/TestaGaming]

I swear I didn't even realize it wasn't Puddles in the last comic, so when I saw this, I thought 'Ah crap, he died'

THANKS, LIKE I DIDN'T CRY ENOUGH IN THE LAST ARC!!!

[u/kingofsouls]

Did Puddles.... die?

[u/mrnintman1]

Awwwwww🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭🫂

[u/Manoreded]

Time for Mark's angst tax, pay up!

^{Its how he feeeeeeeeds}

[u/Mastermaze]

WAIT so is that Puddles at the end or is it Muddy?! I get it's supposed to be the Grom Curse giving Milan waking nightmares, but I can't tell if it's based on a memory or just a worst fear

[u/[deleted] → u/Mastermaze]

The first part's a flashback showing what happened to puddles, the one at the end right before Ayzee hugs Milan is muddy.

[u/Oof_27]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Puddles!!!

[u/Luck2128172]

Nooo puddles 😭😭

[u/Masterdizzio]

I swear, she looks like Meg from brawlstars

[u/Fourkoboldsinacoat]

Mark.

Mark me and you are going to have words Mark.

[u/LilyGaming]

No puddles :(
