it actually sucks to see achilles shut off part of his reasoning like this. like, you fuckin idiot. very on-theme though. it makes sense that the inhabitants of composite C’s distraction-mind-palace would also shelter themselves from their issues.
very interesting to see him talk so matter-of-factly about his kink. he’s usually being all quippy about it. I think this is the first time he talked about it in like an objective, self-aware way
yeah it kind of sucks that both Mars and Achilles ended their confrontations with unpleasant truths by stomping away and retreating to their normal dynamic without processing. At least Mars seems to have just been raw and will probably think about it later; Achilles literally just refused to think at all and was like “actually I want to be an ignorant hedonist.” Grim!
Last time a character crossed the “dark” threshold outside the lighthouse Pepper found Achilles, leading to the “boys’ night” arc. Maybe this is foreshadowing.
Or it might be contrasting that strip. Pepper was looking for Achilles to satisfy his curiosity (and he was worried about him). Achilles, on the other hand, has stumbled upon a big secret and is trying to shut off his curiosity on purpose.
Achilles really do be like “hey, I’m gonna enjoy my time doing freak stuff”. But part of me hopes that Achilles actually speaks with Mars about this. She’s the only one out of the loop (because I feel like Peachykeen might know about the stairs too).
he fucking killed him
Awwwwwwww, her SMILE. She’s happy to see her boyfriend:clair-cute:
Dang. Both their moods instantly got better😭
That Mars definitely should be a new emote on here. :mars-point:
Look how happy Mars is to see Achilles (holding all her stuff)
Nah. It’s true love. They’re the OTP. Shut up

His speech was so unusually eliquent in this comic.. and then he immediately starts running like a little kid to Mars.,
Back to being a little idiot again ,.,.,,, :pepper-shoot:

Ares and peachy play backgammon on sundays

its very interesting to see this other side of him that we havent seen in a very long time
oh our poor boy… he was so close to thinking :achilles-cutesy:
