The plot thickens this episode! But before we get into that I wanted to take a moment to appreciate the background/landscape/immense detailing that goes into this comic. I’m sitting here just looking at the opening panel to this episode appreciating how much work goes into this story as a whole. It’s...awe inspiring, Lily! Secondly, looks like Tora did a decent job of parking this time. 😉 And I’m always appreciative of Tora in a tight turtle neck. Yup, zero complaints here! Though between Tora and Quincey through their part, it was a serious test to my concentration to remember to read the story and not just ogle it. I mean...dayum! Anyone else look at the eye candy, then go back and read it? My first ‘read through’ is ogling/detailing. Second actual reading. Third, I’m searching and hunting for clues and tin foil hat theories. It’s all good fun! Ah, so good chances Tora DID get into a fight with the rose tattoo thugs in the previous chapter, judging by that bandaged knuckle. Interesting we don’t see any other marks on him, so I seriously wonder how the other guys look. Ok, ogling aside for now because this conversation between the two is eye opening! The way they both dumb down their intellect for others, is intriguing. Quincey’s got that in common with Poppy doesn’t he? I’ve always suspected/known there’s some serious take no shit to Quincey and I’m really REALLY enjoying seeing this side to him. And just their interaction alone in general. Their relationship fascinates me. But I’m getting off track. Saying Gil is shady as hell...gave me shudders. Also, Heebie Jeebies is such an underrated term. LOL! As if the way Gil was thinking about Poppy previously wasn’t nauseating as hell, add in he made Quincey unsettled and I’m on even higher alert than before. He IS a slimey little fish boy. Tora says, “Nothin’ much...” then goes on to pull out a thick arse file! And as Quincey says, we’re finally circling back to the notebook again. So which clan did he fuck around with? When do we find out? Will they fill Poppy etc in? Questions questions... “Now all we need are masks and capes with absolutely nothing underneath - “ QUINCEY! 😂😂 Lily, you’re drawing that right? Puh-lease! I need to see Quincey’s dorky grinning face and Tora’s total blank one while their wearing these costumes. 😏 That hilariously timed moment accompanied by our favourite blondes totally non-plussed expression at being flattened by Tora’s snark just added to what was already a pretty funtastic moment. He is a humourless killjoy but we love our tiger anyway. “Are you gonna wait for him to make his next move...or are you gonna...peww peww.” GOOD question Quincey! Yeah Tora, what ARE you going to do next? I managed to get that out while being super impressed with Quincey’s finger gun skills and boss level expression. I’m watching you Quinceton; you’re going to steal my heart if I don’t watch it. Back to Poppy and I feel shook for her. Her instincts are sharp and I wonder how much they’re going to come into play coming up. I could feel her nervous agitation, the shaking as she remembered how she’d felt after Gil was killing her with his looks. And then the fucker creeps up on her and I was ready to run for Poppy! I hate how he kind of crowds her in, hovering over her like that. There’s not enough personal space between them. She’s stuck between the desk, side cupboards and him. And the way he has his hands in his pockets, doesn’t come across as casual at all if that’s what he as going for. Felt like a relief when he left! Now it’s a question of when he’ll be back? 😫 I can relate to Poppy feeling like there’s a veil between her and everything else. And although there’s a chance it was a slight delay in the previous days stress, I’d think picking up on Gil’s super creepy behaviour was what just triggered that attack. I wonder if she’ll tell Erdene how he just made her feel. What really happened just then. Would she have if they had gone for coffee straight away? I fully appreciated her wanting to get out of the environment, to break the cycle. Clear her mind. But wait! Cause then she gets the mother of all texts that makes the fandom go wild!! Julri did NOT just pull that granny card with her to get her back to Moonbright! I remember reading that and feeling so much rage and surety that Poppy wouldn’t fall for that bullshit. But also, good for her for deleting that prick from her phone! That teeny tiny bit of relief took the edge off. But real low blow of the dickwad. What a cliffhanger to leave us with. We get a tiny bit of insight into fish boy’s life. Poppy is left grappling from a dodgy text and Tora and Quincey are contemplating what to do with this new fish boy info. As stated before, the plot THICKENS! And the new developments are making me grip my seat in anticipation. 😁
