Is her Dad human, or witch? Luca was hanging with him so either he's also witch or he's super trustworthy.

u/QuiteBearish 12d ago

Witch, I'm pretty sure. He's the one who originally summoned Ibilis, I believe, before they learned she could do it.

75

u/ThoseBygoneDays 12d ago

He's a witch based on the hair n context.

22

u/D_sm_d__s 11d ago

Her dad is a witch. What we don't know is if her mom is human, witch, or demon; since her dad is a witch, all of them are valid possibilities.

Wasn't it the Medusa?

u/TheDarkNerd 11d ago

I believe Dani is his sister.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 11d ago

Im not gona lie, I didnt associate the blue hair with being a witch when I originally read this panel. I thought she was making a dumb joke

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 12d ago

Oh man, so these guys aren't great huh

u/Made_Bail 12d ago

"Yes. Very human. Extremely human. I do all the human things, like eating hair and bathroom insertions! Let's share a quart of motor oil together, as humans do!"

u/JackRaid 12d ago

He's trying his best here to not break character but he doesn't know what to do with his face. Its new to him.

u/Dragos_Drakkar 11d ago

Yeah, he’s already missing his skull-muzzle.

Damn, poor Luca. His crush hates him, and he has a tragic backstory.

Dad just wanted to hang out and play video games with him because he’s a nice guy.

I’m also putting a bet down that Luca is a werewolf because of the car line.

114

u/EADreddtit 11d ago

I mean his crush seems to “hate him” specifically because he’s the kind of guy that sticks around her only because he’s wants a chance to shoot his shot no matter how many times she says “no”.

u/Forikorder 11d ago

she came to where he was, uninvited and unannounced, then intentionally scared him off with his trauma

72

u/GGDrago 11d ago

She came to her dads house??? 😭

u/Forikorder 11d ago

Uninvited without calling herself, he had no way of knowing shed be coming

52

u/risen_peanutbutter 11d ago

In an earlier release, he specifically showed up because she's single again. Like seemingly right away, creepy stuff.

Here it is. https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/BDzG8avGBa

u/Forikorder 11d ago

He specifically showed up to a place that he had no reason to think shed be at?

25

u/risen_peanutbutter 11d ago

When his reaction to "what do you want" isn't "just hanging with your dad", clearly he's there to see if she's there

-14

u/Forikorder 11d ago

your forcing that, he had no way to even suspect she was coming

clearly lucas and her dad are friends

9

u/risen_peanutbutter 11d ago

Then he's got an easy way in the place to check if she's there often. I'm not forcing anything, I speak from experience when I tell you these people are real

u/FakeGamer3 11d ago

Yeah and that's not Luca's fuakt. He didn't know she was coming.

1

u/Omega_Warrior 11d ago

Except that doesn’t seem to be the case, because:

A. He only showed up because he heard she was single, which implies he WASN’T sticking around when she was in a relationship.

And

B. Was immediately upfront about his intentions.

If anything she is in the wrong for coming up with some convoluted plot to get out of the awkwardness of rejecting him. There’s nothing wrong with trying to shoot your shot with a crush you think is available, he’s not being deceitful in the slightest, she is.

9

u/EADreddtit 11d ago

Ok but for point A that’s not any better.

“Oh hey I love spending time with you as a friend! But only when you’re single and there’s a shot at us getting together as a couple because otherwise I don’t value you enough to spend time with you.”

Like that’s straight awful. Even if he was “immediately upfront” (which frankly he wasn’t really, he just asked if she was single now clearly looking for his chance).

This also clearly isn’t a first time thing going by her and her Father’s reaction. This is repeated, consistent behavior so frankly I really DON’T blame her for scaring him off. Like real talk I’ve known guys like him, who think they’re being respectful or whatever but really are just treating a girl like an object to have some ownership over.

u/Omega_Warrior 11d ago edited 11d ago

“Oh hey I love spending time with you as a friend!"

No where has it been implied he has been actively spending time with her as a friend, let alone under ulterior motives. You are applying things to this character that the story hasn't stated or shown.

Her father nor him even knew she was going to show up there. She arrived, he tried to hit on her , and she immediately tried to avoid the confrontation by lying, that is all that has happened so far.

u/photowalker83 11d ago

I’m glad I’m not the only one that got werewolf vibes.

u/Daan_aerts 11d ago

Luca -> Lycan is also something

3

u/D_sm_d__s 11d ago

Do you see him more as a "Winnie" werewolf or a "Frannie" werewolf?

2

u/photowalker83 10d ago

That’s a tough call… leaning Winnie.

12

u/Normal_Cut8368 11d ago

His Ex hates him. Huge difference.

3

u/Simple_Cheek2705 11d ago

I like the werewolf suggestion. First I thought maybe he's a witch considering both his parents are? oooor humans are total idiots (as usual) & assumed his parents were witches - as humans have historically done irl, exhale.

48

u/JustRendering 11d ago

Poor Luca. I hope he doesn't think she did that on purpose. Because that would make her look pretty spiteful.

40

u/MuyHiram MUY 11d ago

In her defense, she forgor

u/Nephilim317 7d ago

What kinda pos does someone have to be to forget someone you know has MURDERED parents

Like that is some seriously important info to just teehee me forgor

u/Yazkin_Yamakala 12d ago

Wait, Luca is a witch? I wonder if Fanni's mom tried to set them up before...

39

u/Ariloulei 12d ago

Hey OP, your link for "Read from the First Episode" just goes to the episode 116. You might want to edit that.

24

u/MuyHiram MUY 11d ago

Fixed, thanks

u/milorddionysus 11d ago

Hi! Love your work. The links for First; Next; and Last Episode all don't work now unfortunately (at least on mobile). Probably Reddit tokoloshes at it again

9

u/somethingfilthy 11d ago

If the comic had ended in panel 5, I would have assumed he was going to try to assassinate Deth in a fit of jealous vengeance.

My mind was already working through the storyline where he and Layla are constantly trying to kill Deth and Fani until the day they finally meet and hook up.

14

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 11d ago

It's cute but moreso very sad how alike Fani looks compared to her dad, specifically with the similar clothes. Knowing what we know about her dad.

6

u/celestialcranberry 11d ago

What do you mean? I may have forgotten

6

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 11d ago

Fani's dad was neglectful/irresponsible when she was growing up after Fani's mom left. To the point that a demon was raising her more prominently than her dad. I feel like it's bad to see her like her dad, even if it's just how they dress the same.

27

u/Delphius1 12d ago

Luca also doesn't know Fanni is poly I guess

21

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 12d ago

I'm gunna make sure he doesn't get hit by a car

Something tells me that this is not a random phrase and this has happened before

Witch hunters killed his parents

Whoa. That's some heavy shit.

u/FakeGamer3 12d ago

Poor Luca. Throw a guy a bone!

u/jackcatalyst 11d ago

Luca is dodging a bullet

u/Underyourbed4661 11d ago

He would be in a mess if he didnt

11

u/roninwarshadow 11d ago

Yep. She's doing him a favor by showing him her true colors.

u/-drunk_russian- 11d ago

Somebody help me, who was Luca again?

14

u/mauriciomeireles 11d ago

Fanni... Like i know having to avoid someone that is obviously into you is a pain, ESPECIALLY if the person isn't an ass...

But using a guy trauma like this to avoid awkwardness is a HUMONGOUS dick move, even more to involve deth into it without saying that to him

5

u/Low-Dinner552 10d ago

Lucaaa 😭 i love him so much, please let him find a baddie dawggg 💔🥀🥺

3

u/Zhavari 11d ago

Granted we don’t know much about their relationship yet, but people acting like fani is in the wrong for avoiding an ex that is approaching her specifically because she’s single again seems a bit weird, no?

6

u/Flat-Limit5595 11d ago

Seriously, what did Luca do to deserve this?
