    ….uh oh

      I suspect that the characters have gotten sort of tired of saying that.

    I’m disappointed Ben hasn’t desummoned it already. Isn’t that his job?

      “Look, here, I’m working as fast as I can”

      Ben’s voice, from under the biggest pile of rubble.

    I kind of want Widdershins to walk around the city being overly nice and charming to everyone while they think it’s Mal. And then let Mal deal with the consequences

      you’re evil!

      oh my goodness that’d be hilarious

  • baronhaynes 8 months ago archived

    Wait, there wasn’t a circle there before. Somebody summoned it deliberately?


    Also really enjoy the style clash with this spirit’s outlines and coloration. Almost like something got spilled or graffiti’d onto the comic and is running amok.

      Possibly. Also possible that it was supposed to summon Stability (maybe fix the Crown), but because nobody present is really feeling that, they got this instead.


      Alternatively, someone (the twins?) was inspired and tried to do Pacifica’s plan, just to instability and achieve actual stability that way.

      Possibly a spontaneous summons caused by strong emotion at The Anchor, like when those three ladies summoned pride.

      • Fairportfan 7 months ago archived

        When you wrote “The Anchor”, i didn’t think of the person/concept/power that is currently borrowing the O’Malley’s form and substance - for a few seconds i wondered where a pub called “The Anchor” had appeared in the story…

  • EnchantressEmily 8 months ago archived

    Hmm. Did Instability get manifested because of the situation with Pacifica, or because of the situation with the crown?

    • SanjMerchant 8 months ago archived

      Yes.

  • RedTech 8 months ago archived

    I'm blaming the twins. I don't they're at fault, but I don't have a better idea. Also, is it just emotions and concepts that have spirits, or do aspects of reality like gravity and time have spirits as well?

  • Grendelkin 8 months ago archived

    Y’know, giving the mountain and island anchors their power back might help start to correct this…

    Instability doesn’t get a character tag? I like that Thea and Pacifica are both here.

    • bastiandantilus 8 months ago archived

      First thing I looked for, lol. Look at this lovechild of fear and anxiety from Inside Out 2 and tell me they don’t deserve their own tag. #instability @instability

    Flailing around tripping apologetically over everything as you wreak mass destruction is, in fact, EXTREMELY relatable.

  • Nightsbridge 8 months ago archived

    Well that settles it doesn’t it. The crown ain’t stable by any means.


    Like. The 'magic' of the crown feels like a stand-in for the 'importance' of the royal family. People treat it like it's so essential. Like it's central to the identity and core of the nation. They build this consensus that says they need it, that it's part of the spirit of the world. When in fact, it's just a bunch of useless fucking baggage that complicates and distracts from actual IMPORTANT things.

    • Jackdaw 8 months ago archived

      I wanna agree with you, but she didn’t actually get crowned, I think? Maybe a coronation releases instability and then restabilises somehow, and they only got part way through?

  • Emstability 8 months ago archived

    Oh hey, that’s me. In the green. With the flaily arms.

  • sshipway 8 months ago archived

    Between them, they have the power of 4 anchors. Surely they can desummon a little instability?

  • Mr. S 8 months ago archived

    Just caught up with the comic! Fully binged it in a week.

  • Random Guy From A Random 7 months ago archived

    Soooo… did someone seal away Instability in the past, used a ritual to keep it contained, and now it has been let loose?
