Edit: Like the Prophecy Tarot talked about (or every thing Dragon said to Peanut at the end of We're Snowed In! In fact I suspect that most of that is junk really) It could mean something or it could be all a load of junk. Along with Pete saying Sasha was "Protected" that could also be ju...

Two boons.

One is coming 'soon'

And one is coming at the end of the game.

Wait, what?

I thought the first already happened? That was moving in with the pack.

Or is there something I've missed? Haven't been reading the arc, after all.

PhoenixAsper

Then WHAT, may I ask, is the point of his entire story? :( To decide what he's going to do with his life? This arc isn't over yet and I don't read into characters without enough of a background to draw off of. But what has been shown so far is he hasn't decided if he wants to be dog or human but a ...

PhoenixAsper

Not only King is adorable, as Joel he's working for his redemption and has Fox as awesome friend. He deserves all the love! Val, you have a somewhat bad habit of -reading into things- Joel is at -best- putting up with life as a dog. He's been friendly to Sasha. He deals with a lot of crap living wi...

I would too, if there's some way he wouldn't be on the run for the REST OF HIS LIFE!

King or Joel, I just want him to be safe.

PhoenixAsper

A very long-winded comic. At some point, I have to make the decision between setting up every possible character point, or getting on with the plot. Since I don't like plots that carry on for long periods of time with nothing getting done, I try to see how much I can get away with taking out. (The ...

PhoenixAsper

Well he could always put that in the cast page, not the comic.

PhoenixAsper

I'm losing my mind.

I grow more and more doubtful that ANYTHING significant will be resolved in this arc with just TWO updates remaining. There seems to almost NO WAY that SOMETHING big is not going to be left hanging.

I wonder why I don't give up.

Yes, that would a great deal MORE terrible than death.

PhoenixAsper

Oh, WHATEVER!! You get my point.

PhoenixAsper

Ugh. I just went back and read some of my rants on Arc 32. I was SO wrong then, I'm hoping that, in one hour, I'll be SO wrong again in worrying.

PhoenixAsper

Without resolution to ANY of that?

I sure hope not.

PhoenixAsper

<sigh> It's not fun for me. -_- Not all the time anyway. In this case it just makes me worry more.

I can think of endings I'd cheer for too, but what seems to occupy my mind are endings that would be unacceptable/terrible. I don't like that.

PhoenixAsper

Now what do you suppose Rick is doing right now? Crying over his desk while reading this?

Or having a good laugh at all of us, because we're all dolts? Or just avoiding the boards so he doesn't have to deal with our rampant speculation?

PhoenixAsper

...I don't understand why Fox and Rex don't ditch HIM. A friendship based on the whole cat-lover issue is not a solid basis for friendship, if it is any at all. There has to be more to it. We've seen no evidence that Bino is irredeemably evil. He's absolutely a jerk, but even people of that persuas...

PhoenixAsper

So, if Fido speaks up, everybody abandons Bino's point of view?

PhoenixAsper

<reads above>

If that's the case, I don't understand why Fox and Rex don't ditch HIM. A friendship based on the whole cat-lover issue is not a solid basis for friendship, if it is any at all. There has to be more to it.

PhoenixAsper

I highly suspect that Joey being forcibly THROWN out of the place may have a little more significance tonight than we thought. Oh, I SINCERELY hope that this ending Rick has in mind doesn't make me cry in a bad way. Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this somehow hearkens back to King's earlier li...

PhoenixAsper

I'd like for Joel to be returned to his human state, actually. I doubt 'smashing' the watch would lead to this result, however. Why, so he can spend 20 years in a cold dark place? :? He's a hunted man, if you remember, and has practically NOTHING to gain by going back other than simply BEING human....

PhoenixAsper

Rick, you've got me GLUED to the story, despite the fact that I STILL haven't seen it! It boggles my mind how you might finish this in THREE updates, doubles or no, but I think you can, you've done it before. I hope nothing is left hanging...

.

PhoenixAsper

It's not over yet....

.

PhoenixAsper

I was actually going to suggest maybe a week long break for him, VOLUNTARY this time, assuming this fantastic ending he has in mind doesn't get the rabid fanbase (

) screaming.

Hope you're feeling better today, Rick.

PhoenixAsper

He seems to be in poor health lately.

It's almost like the universe is DETERMINED to undermine his efforts.

PhoenixAsper

OR until he chooses NOT to be. He doesn't exactly have a lot to gain or go back to by being Joel. He just hasn't thought it out.

PhoenixAsper

Don't be silly. WAY too much left undone in his story.

Oh, and GameCobra's totally got a point.

PhoenixAsper

And now you guys are making me wonder if the ending I have planned is the best one I could do . . . :shock: ...................................... :| . I don't know whether to dread or cheer that statement. I'm just waiting for the explosion to happen, whatever that may be. Also, see above. You HAV...

PhoenixAsper

Uh, it was said in Rick's Twitter how long it'd be (I THINK), and we're getting to the end of year three of the comic.

PhoenixAsper

I still haven't read any of this arc, and I'm getting confusing/concerning reports about it as such. I thought this was supposed to be double strips, mostly, for one thing? Also, trying not to doubt Rick's writing ability (he's proven me wrong SO many times), but I wonder how he intends for this to ...

PhoenixAsper

Sorry, but if he goes UN-punished for this... -_-.

PhoenixAsper

He'll be stripped of his powers and given to Bino and Max's household as a parrot. He'd fit in PERFECTLY there.

PhoenixAsper

@ naylor: Listen to me. If it is really that bad, at the risk of sounding overreactive, have you considered a therapist? You seem to have been under a LOT of stress due to school and home lately, and I think it would do you some good. Don't wait until it's too late and BIGGER problems arise. If it h...

PhoenixAsper

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Dissension wrote:How would getting rid of King ruin the comic forever? x3

I don't know about you, but in the way I just described, it would ruin it for me.

I am, however, not worried about that actually happening.

PhoenixAsper

I believe the chances are bigger for him to get perma-sodaed than for Pete to turn him back into a human... True, but remember there are others willing to do that when the game ends... King has gotten too popular, so Rick is going to get rid of him this arc by turning him back into a human and send...

PhoenixAsper

Arc 42: Life, the Universe, and Everything.

(Man, I've waited to say that.)

Haven't even read it: looks like I'm disappearing for a bit, so I don't cause a ruckus.

Be back when it's over, or whatever.

PhoenixAsper

I sort of beg to differ, there. Rick HAS stuck to SOMETHING of a timeline and time progression, and certain story elements definitely call for one.

PhoenixAsper

I'm sure Rick appreciates the sentiment and I'm equally sure he does not want everyone throwing money in his general direction for something he has not even mentioned wanting. See, this is why I made this thread, so someone could say this preemptively. We can send his computer belated get-well-soon...

PhoenixAsper

In light of recent events, I thought I might post this. Most if not all know by now, for the past two weeks, Rick's laptop has been out of action, and by that, Housepets as well. I thought, then, I might propose a fundraiser/donation thread to help out Rick by chipping in for a cheap backup PC with ...

PhoenixAsper

You know, Rick, if gets to the point where you need a donations page for second/backup/new/totally awesome computer to prevent this occurrence in the future, I'd happy to start it up. :) Obviously, I don't know how much experience you've had with electronic repairs, though. I'm guessing not much. ED...

PhoenixAsper

Or the fact that an ARMY of animal rights activists have not descended on farms across the Housepets world.

PhoenixAsper

You should listen to Chewy, naylor.

You've got quite the support on these forums, as I see, as well. Hang in there.
