Grrl Power #1272 - Gracilis-less

Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

If you were betting that Sydney would defeat Sydney in the next matchup, then you've been paying attention.

You ever pull a muscle so badly that a totally unrelated part of your body spontaneously charley horses itself?

So it seems obvious that I need to elucidate upon Sydney's featherfall passive. It doesn't work if sh...

Obviously Jabber takes the shape of her body and center of gravity into account when doing all her Hi-Keebas, but even though her chest has more weight than Sydney's, it's not like she's swinging around a pair of kettlebells. You could do a lot of unexpected flippy attacks if you were holding onto something that acted as a significan...

ay! Back to Sydney and crew!

A few quick explanations. Sydney is practicing keeping the orbs off to the side somewhere as there will probably be situations where they can get in the way while orbiting her head. Such as sparring. She loses concentration when she starts fronting on Seneca, which is why they float back to orbit he...

Tickle Trap (NSFW)

Oh no! Superheroines in a deathtrap! Well... a tickle trap. Okay, not trapped, trapped, but... look, three of the girls are getting tickled. Actually, in a way, seven girls are getting tickled since the other four Harems will feel this as well, but technically it's only the three shown in the picture since Harem insists there's only one of her - it's just confusing since ...

Hagfish are revolting. Just go to youtube and search it. Just for fun, here's a snippet from Wikipedia; "Hagfish can exude copious quantities of a milky and fibrous slime or mucus, from specialized slime glands. When released in seawater, the slime expands to 10,000 times its original size in 0.4 seconds." They're considered...

They're speaking Chinese, BTW. I forgot to put the <brackets> around their dialog. I have no idea what the symbol on the carpet says. It could be praise for Puyi, the last emperor of China. It could also say "carpet."

Yes, I wrote the little "accents in dialog" bit under the previous page knowing full well what this page contained. I think the important thing to infer from this page is that lens flare guy recruited the other three, and they've never met without full kit on, so they don't know who each other is. (Also it should give you some hint a...

Here's that smash cut Sydney was waiting for. It's one reason I forced myself to keep the previous scene with Max and Rowan extremely short instead of having him race off to a 5-story building fire that would invariably invoke "Sydney’s Law of Might-as-Well-Have-Been Intended Consequences."

Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Sydney's Law of Might-as-Well-Have-Been Intended Consequences states that a superheroine in her civvy disguise tagging along on a first responder's call will absolutely cause the situation to escalate, forcing her to choose between revealing her identity, doing nothing (which is not really an option unless the super in question is mo...

If sitcoms have have taught us anything (and I will admit that an alarming amount of my knowledge comes from similar sources) it's that firefighters and police have cartoonish rivalries.

I guess "Harper" passes! And not in a way that involves tucking. I'm making a drag reference here, people. I mean she has received approval from the co-workers.

Max had a "workout top" in her trunk, though the hip huggers probably required a quick flight back to her closet.

I did start writing the actual smash cut page to see what "the bad guys" are up to, but as I was working on it I realized I wasn't quite sure where it was going, so I decided to do this scene while I gave the other one some more thought.

Sydney's comment about bisexting was legitimately a typo, then instead of fixing it, I was like, "No, I can totally see Sydney saying that. No idea what she was thinking about at the time, or what bisexting might actually be, but yeah, I'm going to write around it."

Assuming it's a portmanteau, bisexting would just be... well, ...

I mean, if you do have to hide a bomb somewhere… Well, okay, if there is such a place as a museum of famous movie bombs, that would almost seem to be too obvious a place to stick it.

I do think Lapha has a valid, if entirely self-serving point about meeting strange new life and "normalizing" it, i.e., locking down any part of it that makes it threatening to humans, be they Supers or not. On the other hand... if you're an alien who has eye lasers that can disintegrate people and leave just some dusty clothes flapp...

Dabbler's stash probably looks like a 20 year WoW veteran's stash, ready to outfit any new toon of any class from level 1-99* with uniques and set items, but also neato rares and honestly a lot of trash, because she has a lot more fun acquiring stuff than she does OCD sorting it.

Not really sure what all to say about this page.
