Maybe so, maybe no. First it is quiet possible Tina did not have the flu at all. What she was going through was accumulated fatigue from not rebooting the body often enough. Tina is now learning to cope with emotions and feelings she has not had before since Bia fixed her. While Demons understand the emotions they only understand the one they represent. Now having them effect all the demons they can get confused by they and don't know how to handle them. Once the body rebooted the surge of well being led to a state of euphoria. That led to the drinking and wild sense of humor. Until Tina learns to cope with the new feelings she will have other days like this and rapid mood swings and emotional surges.Drakkenmensch wrote:Wait, does yesterday's comic mean she could "reboot" herself sober within a few seconds if it was necessary?

I am reminded of the time Tina first met Atsali, it was the day the "tentacle" demon stayed home. Tina knew what monica needed, but had no clue as to what to offer the teenaged bird girl. Fortunatly Bud showed up, kicked the "tentacle" back into Tina, and instantly she knew what Atsali "needed/wanted". Which indicates that each Demon played a specific part in Tina's abilities. It seems that now, somehow they are melding into one entity and becoming more human, as evidenced by the poor decision making skills in entertainment and excessive vodka intake.zachariah wrote:Maybe so, maybe no.

Pregnancy would be closer, last trimester. Not that I think Tina is. That is very unlikely though it does raise some questions about Tina coping with a human female body even if the human spirit left. But if the body reboots to the same healthy condition each morning it must be at a part of the cycle where Tina never had to worry about it. Either that or she learned.jwhouk wrote:So... just like instant menopause?zachariah wrote:Once the body rebooted the surge of well being led to a state of euphoria.

You may be on to something there. Hope someone asked Tina later for a definitive answer.AnotherFairportfan wrote:And how is TIna different from those characters? Perhaps Tina does NOT want to be human?
So far in Wapsi, NO ONE has been asked if they want a change or not. The change has been done to them by others. Neither Monica, Shelly, Phix, Nudge, Kathy, or Tina have been asked about what was going to be done to them. It was just done for someones ulterior purpose. So why would that change now?My2Cents wrote:You may be on to something there.

The powers are very manipulative in Wapsi aren't they!
That is pretty much what I was thinking while reading this week's strips. The mind is a powerful thing, even placebos can be potent for good or ill under the right circumstances ... heck, just go with Morpheus' reminder that "the body can't live without the mind" which real world psychiatrists have confirmed - if you see yourself die in the dream, then chances are good you're not waking up this time. Tina was used to her shutdowns, not actual sleep. She's going to have to go through a transition to where she can use either, or even just shift over to sleeping.zachariah wrote:Maybe so, maybe no.
