  The good part of pride, you stand up for yourself.

  Ask yourself which path will have the greatest societal benefits.

    or which path will bring you the most cookies.

    
    

    EDIT: i mean -- bring the most people the most cookies.

      I'm people, aren't I?

    And then do anything else.

    Got it. Arming warhead.

  I'm still not convinced that Thea isn't going to be the surprise villain...

    What are the current odds on this ship exploding with everyone aboard?

      With Verity, Tim, and Patience, AND a potential witch onboard? Infinitesimal.

      Low, albeit on a technicality. Someone will probably be thrown overboard first.

  Not certain, hmm?

• Darkoneko Hellsing 5 years ago archived

  I wonder if her all-controlling daddy even let her have funds on her own

  Thea looks like she's come to some kind of decision in that last panel. What has Lei set off?

  • Ganurath 5 years ago archived

    Certainty.

    "Oh shit, it worked."

• Hi 5 years ago archived

  I'm not sure if newfound confidence will be helpful or hurtful for our heroes, but at least Thea would be standing up for herself.

  Lei, given that what seemed right to you at one point was a terrorist attack on the magic anchor, I'm not entirely sure that you should be encouraging this.

  • Leigh Averett Owens 5 years ago archived

    Ehh, what seemed right to her was being an awesome mechanic who wasn't overshadowed with magic. It was the denial of this good that pushed her to her terrorism. I'm not saying it was good (because it wasn't!) but it's a picture of the ugly side of denying your true self, spiraling out of control. She has a really important point here.

• JWLM 5 years ago archived

  That's actually...not the worst possible advice, Lei. Now, the next piece of advice you might give would be about how to make that decision stick with the minimal amount of long-term damage to the relationship.

  
  

  Oh, and "Do as I say, not as I do" might be a good thing to add here.

  • Pat 5 years ago archived

    The thing is, she did do that. It wasn't actually a very good idea.

• BCB 5 years ago archived

  My current guess is that Thea is going to do the wrong thing here, thinking it is the most right, but then she'll come around before the end of the chapter.

• LiterallyJustSomeGuy 5 years ago archived

  It's working...!

  • Pat 5 years ago archived

    Uh oh.

• kuku 5 years ago archived

  Looks like Thea isn't used to being encouraged to make ethical decisions.

• Rolan7 5 years ago archived

  This advice is particularly poignant given her difficulties with V, who she isn't furious with right now. Yes, she made bad decisions in the past. But does she see that she can make good decisions in the future, for herself?

  
  

  That she doesn't need a mentor, that she already knows how to be "good"?
