Inspired by Jay-Em, I propose the official motto of Confusion Corner: "*sigh*... Now what?"

Oh, and I hope you have a nice weekend in Confusion Corner ;) Can't join you personally, I'm still hanging here...

I totally could handle a Dracula Everlasting type...Oh, and Team Buffy all the way(takes care of the glitter crowd).

Kevin seems to handle everything Miss M throws his way, so as long as she communicates with him, things should be ducky.
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

kinda reminds me of that scene in the latest Tenchi Muyo OAV series when Aiaka and Ryoko bitching about how they are receiving too much scrutiny and interference from the powers that be only to have it pointed that with the TWO most powerful Jurai ships, Ryo-oki (in space-ship mode), Ryoko (a demi-goddess) and Washu (an actual goddess) that Tenchi's little group can rightly be thought of as a universal power in its own right..

a) I thought the GGGs were free now and Mon didn't control them,
b) Jaguar girl nothing, she can *TELEPORT A FREAKING MOUNTAIN ONTO SOMEONE*, or probably poit their head right off.

We're talking powers of the scale of gods (or titans) here, not just killing one person.

Could have missed it, but I think M still controls the GG. Or, can control, only she doesn't use that power.

Yeah - particularly in the first panel here.

So Paul's not springing something new on us; he's simply exploring an aspect he had hinted at before, and naming it.

Heh. I still regret my 1983 Sprite Mk 2.5 that i destroyed in Italy back in '71.

Understand - i didn't know how rare it was at the time (found out a year or two ago) but i loved that car...

Or is that "Sneaky Paul"?

Some people are not very good at knowing themselves. Look at how many women have body issues. Consider how many people do not consider themselves as powerful, or smart--or, on the other hand, how many see only their power (and not its limits) or their smarts. How many see only their own nervousness, and the apparent confidence of others, and think they are the only ones who are afraid.

A) They have free will, because Monica kinda demanded it. But her override has been implicit all along in moments like the Calendar sacrifice when "only Shelly can move"; ie Monica could not Glyph-command Shelly to stop, so the role of executioner had to fall to her.

And still darkly implied whenever M is upset: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/feeling-better/

B) Tezcatlipoca is one of the creators/destroyers of worlds. (Nod at cmdrpowers; good catch.) So Jaguar Girl something. What, we don't know, but... keep those wormholes away from Sunshine.

Addendum. For awhile I thought the only suggestion that M could unleash serious Evil was this sly comment of Jin's: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/justus/
But then ran across this during a teaching moment from Doubt.

http://wapsisquare.com/comic/talkingaboutyourse/
http://wapsisquare.com/comic/ouractions/

...and then we get all misdirected by Jin poiting in, excited that her 100,000-year puzzle has been solved. Well written.

So, yeah, Princess is a scary scary SCARY scary. Maybe she should look up her previous failures and read up on how bad she got.

HA!!! There you see!! I knew she is considered as one big bad ass dangerous magical being but she still doesn't know it, now we will see a wonderfully crazy and insightful story arc about how she trully is as dangerous as the other "monsters" around her. I love it! :D she is bound to be the most dangerous or powerful creature around, let's face it, she is the main character! sorry if I'm repeating someone, haven't had time to check all comments yet! busy day today.

Something to think about. Tezcatlipoca's biggest rival was Quetzalcoatl, known to the Mayans as Kukulkan. I think we've heard that name before. ;)
Whoever coined the phrase "more fun than a barrel of monkeys" obviously never spent an afternoon cramming the little buggers into one.

I thought that Monica was frozen with the GGGs because of their face lights activating with the mirror-ball to connect them to the calendar. Shelly could move because she didn't have face lights and wasn't connected (says so here).

Did I miss something that explained that Shelly had to kill Monica because she couldn't be commanded not to?

A weekend on a comfy couch with tea and treats is always a nice weekend. :) Even if I'm utterly confuzzled. Sorry you can't join us! :D
