Re: Who Knew 2016-06-21
You know if I was trying to keep paranormal activity under wraps I'm not sure having a magazine devoted to any aspect of that activity would be a good idea. Stuff like that would be hard to keep under control. Kinda like that gay porn magazine I found in the woods as a 14YO back in the '70s...

Is that what happened to the Space Alien Cat Girls? They went into Wapsi?

Given the wealth of material available on the internet and other places for anything you want to name if a norm found it all 99% of them would say is "its simply amazing what they can do these days with special effects and photoshop." The other 1% would swear never to drink agian and move along.

Umm yea that's an advertisement for their upcoming movie based on the long running comic series. Supposed to outperform that avengers movie a few years back. The trailers are fantastic, looks like real cat girls.shadowinthelight wrote:Is that what happened to the Space Alien Cat Girls? They went into Wapsi?

Re: Who Knew 2016-06-21
Traditionally, TEEN, Tiger Beat, and similar mag editorial content was mostly photospreads of and "in-depth" chats with pop music artists... which has evolved from Monkees/David Cassidy/Michael Jackson to "boy bands" (pretty much any number of young male artists with a large female following) like Hansons/'NSYNC/One Direction to the current crop: 5 Seconds of Summer/FLY/Il Volo/EXO. There was a bit of dating/relationship advice (downright G-rated when compared to Cosmo).
I imagine 'Sali may have been reading the mag to try to deal with her social cluelessness.

I don't think it's going to be as bad as when she was reading her diary. And Atsali knows Pickle reads her diary.

Things are escalating quickly... Next stop: ...trying makeup?
Anyway, I'm sorry I don't have the time to dig up the older forums - how much time has passed since the adoption?
It's hard to tell with a slice-of-life daily strip, but I had the impression we're still in the first schoolyear after Mapimi...

2013. So, three years sound right. Atsali just finished her junior year. The little shrub said that she was eight, just a couple of weeks back, so she could be nine-ish in short order. The shopping trip talk kind of implied that they are closer to the end of Summer, rather than the beginning.

Seems to me that the birthday that her friends forced her to enjoy was Number Seventeen, which would make Castela about seven, but she's doing a growth spurt.
Hmmm.
Dallyn also seems to have hit a growth spurt, since she and Castela are still pretty much of a height; one assumes that, as classmates they're about the same age, and if paras in general mature at roughly the same rates, there's no reason to not {tentatively} assume it's about the same rate as human kids.Your Child's Growth wrote:A major growth spurt occurs at the time of puberty, usually between age 8 to 13 years in girls and 10 to 15 years in boys. Puberty lasts about 2 to 5 years. This growth spurt is associated with sexual development, which includes the appearance of pubic and underarm hair, the growth and development of sex organs, and in girls, the onset of menstruation.

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more in this comic -- the Rule 34 implication, or the spider slippers!

Does Castela look like her pre-growth spurt self in the last panel?
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

I just love that "Veronica Lake" hairstyle that Castela is wearing. Works for her. (If you don't know who that is...GOOGLE it)
Next: New clothes, Short skirts and tops just like in the magazine.

Re: Who Knew 2016-06-21
All sorts of interesting questions come to mind, about the universal, unstoppable force which drives the creation of magazines such as ParaTEEN ...
... Advertising, that is.
Are there special lines of clothing... stretch fabrics, pop-out panels, self-repairing seams... marketed to paras who are prone to morph? "Personal care" products, with ads carefully worded to allude to certain socially-embarrassing conditions that teen paras sometimes struggle with? ("When I had that awkward itch in my tentacles..." ...don't ask, you and I are not supposed to know!)
The issue of cosmetics alone boggles the mind. How do you create, and then market, a line of cosmetics which could possibly work for a target marketplace whose members have skin, scales, fur, and/or feathers? How do you pitch the latest trendy shade of eyeshadow to those like Castela, who don't really have eyes?
Are there separate versions of ParaTEEN for preds and bevvies? Gushing fan stories about the big BBQ party at the home of the latest pred boy-band might not go over well with teen readers who might reasonably see themselves as being part of the menu...

well of course, there are paranormal clothes for paranormal people! Nothing like the awfully *fragile* stuff you get down in *human* shops!!

Daylla's development could be more of a social nature... her subconscious may have noticed Castela's spurt and said, "We need to keep up!"AnotherFairportfan wrote:Dallyn also seems to have hit a growth spurt, since she and Castela are still pretty much of a height; one assumes that, as classmates they're about the same age, and if paras in general mature at roughly the same rates, there's no reason to not {tentatively} assume it's about the same rate as human kids.

They could just sell it on the news racks next to where the Weekly World News used to be, and near all the role-playing and cosplaying magazines. Most people wouldn't give it more than a casual glance.Opus the Poet wrote:You know if I was trying to keep paranormal activity under wraps I'm not sure having a magazine devoted to any aspect of that activity would be a good idea.
