Tomorrow, first panel: Upper third of Monica staring back, wide-eyed, asking, "What? What???"
Second panel: Pulled back view of all of Monica asking, "C'mon, you guys!!! What?" with a rainbow coming out of her ass.

They deserve to get mocked - right to the face - for trying to convince a friend that she's more powerful/important than she wants to believe?
Wow. Okay then.

Likewise, the TWC vote button disappeared, too.
Which is too bad, really. I'd like to commandeer all the computers on this side of town for some serious ballot-stuffing.
Both buttons are still there, they just shifted. The like button is now at the bottom of the friends list on the left side and the vote is at the top of the left side.

Well, quite a few years ago I knew a young woman (coincidentally named Shelly, and bearing some slight physical resemblance to Shelly Wahnee) who was extremely ticklish. When her friends would attempt to start tickling her, her defensive response was to shout:

Of course... she got better. So it's not really a fair test, I guess. Maybe we should get a duck and some scales... oh wait, wrong test

DEAD PERSON: I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER: No, you're not -- you'll be stone dead in a moment.

DEAD PERSON: I feel happy... I feel happy.

CUSTOMER: Ah, thanks very much.
MORTICIAN: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
CUSTOMER: Right.
Of course the deeper reason Monica would be in denial about having phoenix blood, claiming it was "not possible" is that, if true, it means one or both of her parents have it too.
We think we know the Sullivans and the Villareals pretty well, but do we even know Monica's parents' names?
Considering what little we have heard about them, and the nightmare that Shelly has just learned about her own heritage, I'm a bit afraid of what M's reaction will be if her parents also turn out to be a play-acting Titan and a descendant of a mythic monster.

Unless, of course, the esteemed Pablo is planning to pull another hyperbolic left-angle turn on us, and has already given us the necessary clues in plain (but not obvious) sight.
Shelly said "Phoenix blood", not "Phoenix ancestry".
Is there any chance that Monica might have had a blood transfusion? Perhaps after her bus-accident near-death experience? It's just barely possible that whatever is going on with her is acquired, rather than inherited.
I'm probably quite wrong about this, of course, but what the hell! It won't be the first time, by a long shot.

Good thoughts! So Jin may have brought Monica back by injecting (or poiting it in) her with a shot of Phoenix blood. If anyone could get that stuff, it would be Jin.

Jin doesn't actually have blood.
