sid!!! my man!!!!!!!! its been forever, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m surprised she hasn’t asked him yet.
Or just grunted "Hrm" and dragged him to the altar.
Probably because her mother is asking her twice a week why he hasn't made her an honest woman yet.
I'm pretty sure Harry's mother disapproves of Sid
Why?
The impression Kate's given is that Harry's parents dislike adventurers, adventuring, and above all, chaos. Sid is remarkably good at getting himself in outrageous situations (and getting back out of them, but they won't care about that).
Except we haven't met the parents yet so we do not know.
Which is one of the reasons I said 'pretty sure'.
Also, ignoring the question of chaos -- and Sid is an absolute chaos god -- I wonder how frequent racism actually is in the Widderverse. We know that homophobia is present -- consider Harry's mother's hostility to Nicola's girlfriend. My bet is that Harry's mother is a bit racist, too.
Mrs Frederick Barber will be delighted that Harriet has finally brought home a young man with a pulse. IMHO her outlook is that you cannot possibly have a fulfilling life if you don't have children . Time for her unmarried daughters to put aside all this childish affectations of 'careers' and 'close personal friends' and start a family before it's too late. And of course, to provide her with more grandchildren.
Nevertheless, she wishes that Harriet had picked a more suitable young man, instead of...Sid.
But she's her Mum and she loves her so she'll be there for her with good advice and support no matter how many bad decisions Harriet makes.
Oh, I wish all mums were like that. I had an imaginary mother as a kid who was supportive and kind, because my mother, while not abusive exactly, was more of the "screws up everything nice" type
I think it was said back when Syd was buying flowers and then the price went up that Widdershins is meant to be generally quite enlightened. Off -screen individuals may be exceptionsp
No one likes people monologing in the street, Sid :D
IKR. Someone get 'em all cell phones!!
very useful things, phones https://sparekeyscomic.com/index.php?comic=20110818
Thanks for that link, it was really funny! Almost every page was funny! I think I have a new entry in my list of webcomics I love! :D
Read the first two stories, then bought the book.
Once upon a time, when you encountered someone apparently talking loudly to themselves in the middle of the street you knew you had encountered the local village idiot: in the era of wireless earbuds you can no longer be 100% certain.
Someone who si talking loudly to someone who isn't there can also be a priest, even if it's a known fact that many drunkards forget the hands-free device to communicate with a booze bottle.
Personally, I'm the kind of local idiot that follows the path of the white rabbit and monologues around the general topic of lateness and street obstacles.
good to be home again... close to home...
coronation special, sid and harry marriage... it's all happening!! it's so impressive we're only 3 pages in and we've got a huge amount of information already
I am... unsure about the beard.
Don't worry, the Prime Universe Sid will be along shortly...
I like the beard!
The woman in pink is absolutely judging his proposal ideas
She probably has 'married with a kid by 18xx' in the Widdershins pool, and Sid is clearly not getting a move on with the first part of it.
Very inconsiderate of him tbh
The ladies seem to be looking at that coin floating through the air and possibly the buggerup carrying it, that would turn some heads just about anywhere...either that or they are nervously trying to ignore the guy who looks like he is talking to himself in the middle of the street
I was thinking that was not a coin but a little box with a ring, and maybe our magpie friend will present it to Harry and save Sid the trouble.
I'm glad Sid and the magpie seem to be getting along well! Giving it something shiny to grab, that's very nice!
I'm making a prediction that the actual proposal will involve Sid struggling with words, only to be interrupted by the Magpie giving Harry the engagement ring.
"Will you marry me?"
"Comes with the beard?"
"Well...yes..."
"Hm."
Or
'Approving grunt"
aAAAAAAWWWWW
YOOO HI SID
I almost want him to try the second one just to see Harry immediately drag him off to check if he's possessed.
His new style of beard looks a lot like that of Harry's grandfather...which seems appropriate for several reasons :D He was quite a fan. It suits him, too!
This is at least the third time he is rehearsing a difficult conversation at the start of a chapter, the second time involving Harry. I can relate to that far too well.
Also, MAGPIE!
Yeah, I think the mom is right.
ties on, Sid
Just getting these kinda vibes...
Awwwww, it's nice to see Sid and the Magpie getting along so well! He's gushing about his problems to it, deliberately giving it something shiny to keep happy and occupied...it's all very cute.
I wasn't always rooting for these kids. In the beginning, it didn't need to go there. But it very naturally arrived at this point, so...
Here's hoping you find the right words, Sid!
