Grrl Power #1044 – Familial foibles
I apologize for my terrible spanish.
This page should answer any questions about what’s going on here, in case you weren’t up to speed, or, you know, have just forgotten some of the details of a webcomic from 5 months ago. The TL:DR version is that the symbol on a succubus’s collar is determined by her master. Parfait’s collar looks different than Dabbler’s, but still features the quadruple X symbol, meaning her master is also Tom.
I had to edit this page as I was drawing it. Originally, I figured Dabbler would be incensed by Thothogoth here, but as shown on the page linked above, Dabbler said that succubi like who they are, including their bonds. It definitely depends on who they’re bonded to to some degree, but, again, on that page she also said that the council of succubus Matriarchs provide considerable disincentive to those who think they’re signing up for a punching bag/fleshlight.
So originally, Dabbler immediately whipped out her vierhander (her sword is a 4-hander) and threw down with Tom, but if I’m trying to be true to her earlier statements, then she’d actually be happy for Parfait. It’s still kind of a dick move on Tom’s part though. I mean, normally if your kind-of-current-but-mostly-ex-even-if-you-banged-him-like-three-days-ago-boyfriend basically announces that he’s going to start banging your younger sister because you’re not well behaved enough? Uh, yeah, you’re gonna throw down. But these are succubi, so it’s… a little different for them. It still doesn’t mean Dabbler can’t be protective of her little half-sister.
I’m not sure a soul-eater (yes, she’s holding Blackrazor there) would actually do much to a person unless it strikes the fatal blow, but the way Dabbler is threatening with it here, I’m going to say that anything that gets chopped off by a soul-eater can’t be regrown without taking some really extraordinary measures.
As far as the whole “infinite regen+portal+volcano” goes… I mean, yikes, right? Only, since Tom is a Fiend, he’s going to have some not-insignificant resistance to heat. HOWEVER – lava is fucking hot. It generally ranges from 1,300 to 2,200°F. So 50% heat resistance would still mean getting your dick cooked at, let’s average it out to 1,200°? I almost wrote “Ice Volcano” but that seemed like it would take a little more explanation. Like… a geyser of liquid nitrogen or something?
I don’t think people appreciate how hot lava is. I’ve actually been near lava. My family went on vacation to Hawaii, I want to say it was in 1984 after the volcano erupted and a big swathe of the island got covered in lava. Maybe we went in 85 or 86, because at the time, you could take a bus out to see the cooled flow, which just looked like a million trucks full of asphalt had spilled down the mountain all the way to the ocean, and then melted. Anyway, there was still an active tube of lava running under all the cooled stuff, and we could lean out over a cliff and watch the stuff pour right into the waves. The tourguide said that if the wind started blowing in our direction, we would have to leave right away, because the steam from the lava hitting the water would have all sorts of nasty shit in it and would destroy our lungs.
So standing upwind from this lava that hadn’t had a chance to cool hardly because it was running up a lava tube before it hit the air, from about… 100 feet away(?) the heat from this lava was cooking the oils out of my face. It was like sticking my face into a really hot sauna whenever I leaned out to look at the lava.
I say all of this to reinforce the horror of Dabbler’s threat, but also to tell you that the experience in Hawaii has ruined every movie with lava in it since. That Kali-Ma scene in the Temple of Doom when the guy was in the cage and the trap door opened up below him, then he’s lowered into the lava below? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The instant that doop opened, he would have been blasted into ash like he’d been standing five feet behind an F-16 when it was taking off. The shaft would have focused that heat into a heat laser. Like a blow torch verses flash paper. And the scene in the Tommy Lee Jones movie Volcano, where the subway chief guy is standing on the back of the subway car, surrounded by lava, then he tries to jump over it, but lands in it, then tosses the guy on his shoulder over the lava while his bones melt? How ’bout no! Standing two feet directly above lava means not only are you on fire, I’m pretty sure the ambient air temperature means your lungs would be ash already. Even discounting the heat, I’m pretty sure if my bones were melting, I wouldn’t have the wherewithal to shot-put a human being. Adrenaline? Yeah, probably. Mental faculties? Probably not.

SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
So, May incentive is Dabbler, Parfait and Tom?
… in a giant bowl, with whip cream, and chocolate, and ice cream…. :D
On celestial bodies like Titan and Triton, there are cryovolcanoes, where various ices under high pressure can behave like magma/lava on Earth. So yes, they’d be *insanely* cold.
And to increase Dabbler’s threat, she could have mentioned Io, a moon that has molten sulfur instead of the normal molten rock. So even if he could recover his anatomy, it would definitely smell horrendous for a long, long time.
While the original photos of Io from Voyager suggested that the volcanism on Io consisted of molten sulfur, subsequent studies since have indicated that it is mostly molten rock, because the temperature of the flow is in fact above the boiling point of sulfur.
OK counter said there was another comment here, but nothing now.
Wouldn’t all succubi from the same mother be half-sisters because nobody has a father technically?
I think it was explained they have a father and 2 mothers
That fraction still dosent work unless there is some kinda demon that can be 2/3rds of that equaion
There is. 1/3 Succubus, 1/3 OTHER Succubus, 1/3 Male of any origin. So all Succubi born of a single Succubus would be 1/2 sisters, regardless of any other contributor. I’m probably leaning heavily on “born to” mechanic used by Humans here, but personally, I think that the birth mother would hold a slightly higher claim to the offspring than the other 2.
As I mentioned in the other comment, you’re confusing succubi and doppelgangers as well. Succubi follow the easier to understand route of 1 mother (succubus) + 1 father (whatever species) = succubus child with dad characteristics.
Dabbler is a bit of an odd duck in that the father in that equation was a doppelganger, making her by her own estimates 1/2 succubus (from the mother), 1/3 doppelganger (from the ‘father’), 1/6 ‘other’ (from second father via doppelganger).
I think you’re confusing succubi and doppelgangers. Succubi seem to have the ‘normal’ 1 father and 1 mother set up going on, though their children are always succubi. Doppelgangers do the whole switcheroo thing.
So succubi can have full sisters if they have the same two parents. In this case though, Dabbler’s ‘dad’ was a doppelganger and Parfait has another dad, but both have the same mother, so half sisters.
Why would he care if his cock is infinitely regenerating in an active volcano? Does the sword not sever normally? Does it actually apply a cross sectional portal through the things it separates?
My friend, through magic all things are possible..
Castration is removal of the balls. The portal was reserved for the cock.
It’s the loss of use of the testes, but true. I just sort of assumed from the phrasing that it was a package deal.
It’s the whole package, but not the same deal.
From what I’ve read, admittedly not a lot, but old style castration done to create eunuchs took the lot, testes and penis and a tube was inserted to pee through while the wound healed.
i think its implied that there would be some sympathetic magic involved to make sure he FEELS it
It could be implied that a Soul Eater sword would allow him to stay… linked… to his removed tool and thus feel the excruciating pain of having it melt in lava for eternity…
Im guessing a soul eater would remove the part physically while keeping it sense-ually linked to the owner. So still feel everything the detached limb feels.
I’ve been near an open furnace with a block of 1500° steel in it and holy shit does it fucking [i]hurt[/i] from forty or fifty feet away, just from the glow. Shit just fucking burns.
Yeah, worked in a foundry once. Only place I’ve ever worked where you were mandated to have a jug of ice water handy; When the furnace opened your hair would literally curl from fifty feet away.
Only job I’ve ever had where you had to check periodically that your clothes hadn’t caught fire. Had to put out my boots several times.
Youtube videos of foundry accidents are insane.
Goldmember…
In other videos discussing lightsabers they showed the steam eruption that happens if you throw a water bottle into a cauldron of molten steel. Stabbing a person with a lightsaber would basically cause a person’s body to explode.
(Also, Gollum’s final dip into the lava pool of Mount Doom would be a bit more unpleasant. OK, fine. He was holding The Ring. Maybe it gave him some protection.)
Not just explode, the team explosion would have a tin thermal effect, an initial explosion of boiling blood, which would then VERY rapidly decompress causing everything it touched to flash freeze, provided there was enough of it.
This effect is why dumping anything liquid into lava get sutch a ridiculously violent reaction.
in steel foundries where they make things like rebar and I beam, they use water as a lubricant as the red hot steel billets go through the dies and shapers to form the finished product. what is really exciting is when the big electro furnace melts the steel and it covers over some water at the bottom of the crucible…BOOM!
I once spent a couple of weeks working in a plant that made powdered steel. The process involved deliberately aiming water cannons at a falling stream of liquid steel. The explosively expanding super heated steam would blast the steel into mist. Since the resulting particles were tiny, they’d almost instantly cool enough to solidify. The resulting powder was only slightly coarser than flour. (Fun fact: the electrical room had an elaborate filtration system designed to provide positive over-pressure, to make sure that steel dust couldn’t drift in and build up enough to short out the machinery.) Let’s just say that I was just as happy to be working in the maintenance shop.
Stood in front of an exhaust port of a furnace when I was a teenager. Never grew hair back on my shins. Actually a great way to permanently remove hair, as all I felt was some heat as the hairs became white.
Yes, this actually happened about 25 years ago.
Temperature is really only one part of the equation. You can see videos of human beings working (on an anvil) metal that is well over 1500 degrees without injury.
What makes lava so amazingly dangerous is the *amount* of it (foundries, as mentioned by other posters, have a similar issue).
2 pounds of steel at 1500 degrees will heat the air around it some, sure. 2,000 pounds of steel at 1500 degrees will cook every unprotected human being in a significant radius.
Lava is generally flowing in the many, many tons. And when it’s flowing quickly, the amount of “fresh hot” lava to cook the air is *huge*, which is really what makes the author’s story about the lava tube so monstrously hot.
Exactly this. Temperature defines how the radiant energy is distributed between various frequencies of infrared/light, but that needs to be multiplied by the amount of material visible to work out how much energy you’re actually being heated by. A tungsten filament lamp, for example, runs at about 3000’C (~5400’F), yet they’re perfectly safe for use around the home because so little metal is actually at that temperature.
Also, lava tends to have a high emissivity; Thermal radiation goes up as the 4th power of temperature, but it’s also proportional to emissivity, (The flip side of something being absorbing.)
Basaltic lava has a measured emissivity of 0.9-0.95, while reasonably clean steel is 0.25-0.35. So, even at the exact same temperature, the lava is going to emit 3 times as much heat radiation.
Is there a name for a unit of emissivity? weight has the kilo or pound, ounce gram. you get the idea. I’d like to look up what the most emissive material is. but I think I’ll need the name of the unit for that.
Emissivity is a ratio rather than a discrete property, so there’s no actual unit. It’s usually expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1. Wiki has a pretty good article on the subject, if you want someplace to start.
Sure, the name is “emissivity”. ;)
It’s a unitless ratio, varying from 0 to 1. Those don’t tend to get named after somebody.
The equation DOES have the “Stefan-Boltzmann constant”, which tells you how much radiation you’d get out of a hole into a black cavity in equilibrium, of that temperature. “Emissivity” is just the fraction of that number you get out of a surface.
Given the relationship between emissivity and reflectance, your highest emissivity material would probably be Vantablack. Or whatever new material has replaced it as the blackest material on record.
And here I would have thought it was third-sister
point.
So, Dabbler’s ratios were 1/2 Succubus Mother, 1/3 Doppelganger Mother, 1/6th Whatever-Father – the fraction to include for this particular partial sister would probably depend on which parent you’re talking about, right? If the common parent was the succubus, then half-sister sounds right to me
That title goes to the next one.
Parfait looks so adorable in panel 4!
Parfait is cute yes, but, Dab’s face in panel 3 is also quite adorable.
Lava is not equal to lava in temperature and composition.
There are instances where Icelanders manged to save a harbour from lava by pouring water on it.
Artistic representation of that instance: hxxps://satwcomic.com/iceland-ain-t-right
I’m sorry, I have one question… How is she doing that with her hair? Seriously, how is it not getting tangled! Can somebody market and sell whatever that is to me!
her demon heritage gives her the ability to do the ‘swirling smoke’ special effect with her hair, as well as the edge of her dress. She is a big hit at Halloween parties.
Also, with one instead of four Parfait is much less horny than Dabbler. But then, who isn’t?

Dabbler has a half-sister??? I’m afraid to ask if they have the same father but different mothers?
I wonder how Maxima will react to that revelation?!?
Yeah, that was my immediate thought. ” Which Half??”
Probably the Sucubus half
IIRC Dabbler does not know her father. Only that he was the one who gave her four arms.
I’m assuming since they are referred to as the ‘Daughters of Xanadu,’ they have the same MOTHER. Unless Xanadu refers to a place, instead of a person. Plus Dabbler does not know who her father is (except that he’s the reason she has four arms), so if Parfait is her half-sister, one would assume Dabbler would only know that because they both have the same mother instead of the same father.
As an oldest brother I would like to say Dabbler is 100% in the right.
I was trying to figure out why Dabbler was being such a jerk to Tom, considering that, by Dabbler’s own admission, Tom is actually a very good master who never takes advantage of his succubi in the relationship.
Then I realized ‘oh, this is one of those protective older sibling things, where even if the guy was a saint, a bodily threat is required or they will revoke their good older sibling license.’
Which I can’t relate to that much, since I’m the youngest sibling. I’m assuming my older brothers have, at least on one occasion, been threatening to a boyfriend or would be willing to be. I’d likely be ticked at them if they were though, if I was in a relationship with the guy at the time. :)
Once again we were right about Tom.
I can guarantee it your older brothers had at least a small talk with some of them. Just to be sure
My kidlets: Younger AFAB kid. Two-year-older male kid. Both now adults, but when they were in school, you did not mess with his little sister. And that was for the ones who weren’t actual jerks.
“I can guarantee it your older brothers had at least a small talk with some of them. Just to be sure”
Quite possibly. Although again – I’d be ticked if I found out they did. :) I did once have a mechanic friend who, after a particularly bad breakup, asked if I wanted him to have some of his friends ‘give my ex a really bad day.’ I declined the offer. :) So if my mechanic would do that, no telling what my brothers would do.
Yeah we guys are often like that. We can’t stand the thought of a woman being hurt. Reminds me of this time there was a rapist loose in my town. So some friends and me were voluntary patrolling some bad areas. We promised the cops we wouldn’t hurt anyone but had we caught him I don’t think he would have survived.
Yeah its soo dumb.
Since at the same time Dabblers threat is kinda toothless.
Tom is her master. She cant do anything to him.
(besides make silly threats)
It is a really dumb trope.
Dabbler did indicate that she was past the worst of the slave conditioning as far as masters went, and it has been hinted that her and Tom tangoed in the past where she may have messed him up some.
Besides, she can’t *kill* him, but you would be surprised what you could live through.
I spent from age 12-19 practicing with a hand held crossbow nearly every day, and the ability to look someone in the eye while you hit 5 soda can targets in a row while having a discussion is not a threat. It is threatening but it is not a threat.
Intimidation works best when it is implied.
Hm, somehow this reminds me of:
“I want to point out, though, that my mentioning this option wasn’t a threat.
…
That’s a threat. See the difference?”

Dabbler’s sister has an Anime Name! Also lost when Deus pushed The Button again!
I think that Deus’ only fault there was that he forgot his maniacal laugh with the thunder.
To be fair, it wasn’t his reveal, therefore no laugh. It was a button worthy reveal, but off panel, so his super intelligence knew the button needed pushing but not why so it’s no laughing matter.
I like how he seems a little confused about it in the last panel. “I know that needed to be done, but I don’t know why since I wasn’t doing anything dramatic.”
Spanish? What Spanish?
The ‘telenovela’ tagline in the bottom margin. It’s a particularly Mexican take on the long-running soap opera genre, if I understand correctly.
Parfait is adorable!
I agree, she looks like a unicorn pixie.
Did Deus feel an implacable urge? Because it seems like he could placate it by clicking the button.
At least it looks like Parfait got the same boob genes as Xuriel. Good stuff!
’84 huh? So you went on vacation to Hawaii the same year I was born. Neat! I didn’t know you were older than me (figured you were closer to my generation, though).
The closest I’ve seen to ‘accurate’ to how Lava would work is actually Lord of the Rings. Gollum hits the lava and actually stays on its surface for a lot longer than many other depictions. Though it’s still not quite right as he still sinks into it, which he would not. He would just float on the surface and burst into flames, but as molten ROCK it’s actually fairly solid. IIRC the ring would actually be the thing that would sink into it, as it’s solid metal. Though magic and all that, plus it looks mostly gold, so it just melting down before it could sink is also fairly accurate.
“Implacable”?
Unable to be placated otherwise.
Yeah, I understand what the word means, it just didn’t seem to be appropriate. “Ineluctable” or “irresistible” or “overwhelming” or “undeniable” or “unstoppable” or “unavoidable” or “inexorable” seems like the intention of that sentence.
Inexplicable would have fit, except that, if you’re a super-intelligence, that’s probably not a word you use much.
Wait…”With “A” Soul Eater”? So does her Soul Reaver come from a a CLASS of similar weapons?
If nothing else, she’s probably made several of them, refining them over the years, handing out a few as gift at victory parties, birthdays, and baby showers, you know, the normal sort of thing you do XD
You mention the temperature of lava, but a lot of those movies also neglect the gasses. I admit at least one of the gasses becomes worse for people after it comes in contact with water, since H2SO4 is nastier than SO2, but that doesn’t mean SO2 isn’t deadly on its own. I mean, like anything, there’s an LD50, and amounts significantly less than that are merely annoying. But it’s my understanding that if you get too close to lava, even if you can somehow stand the heat, the gasses will do you in if you need to breathe to live and haven’t thought to bring a supply with you.
I think I’ve seen some media that at least paid some attention to this detail, as they had people wear some kind of air filtration system that would’ve burst into flames from the heat of actual lava at the distance the people supposedly were, but a lot of the time, they’re just breathing normally without any assist, and at most someone will comment on the sulfur smell. Said comment tends to be made within a few feet of the lava, while in real life you’d notice the sulfur smell from a great distance away (though of course that can depend on which way the wind’s blowing.)
TBF not all lava is equal:
You can run on the top crust of semi-crusted lava, even have it slowly approach you, without suffering skin burns (thought your shoes will be dead). The key is the temp. If there is active fluid flow under the crust (so the crust isn’t just being pushed at the front of the wave, but rather is floating over the flow) then the flow is kept insulated and hot by the crust (like Author experienced in the 80s) However, if you are at the pushing edge, the crust is ‘safe for professionals and idiots’ level of heat and can be approached. See vids of idiots and professions photographers for examples.
Don’t get me wrong, you are still getting cooked, but there are
side note that radiation color is determined by heat independently of substance:
lava is not very fluid at approachable temps, and certainly not at the pretty color temps, so ‘lava’ in movies is usually molten aluminium or another low melting point substance that doesn’t throw sparks.
Id imagine Dabbler would choose a roiling pit of eternally liquid lava
I’ll just leave this here for a minute for anybody who wants it.

Now Tom is going to get it on with two sisters at once!
I recall arguing with a friend that in the Incredibles movie Syndrome had to have forcefield tech, because otherwise his little corridor through the lava would instantly flambe anyone trying to use it. He argue that sufficient A/C could handle any heat load. … I didn’t bother trying after that point, but I stand by my original statement.
yeah it is one of the many physics movies tend to ignore, and sadly done so often that people seem to think its real.
-I rant about this often in other factors of social conditioning where even when people know something is fiction, if something is repeated enough, across multiple series and movies, then the audience ends up regarding it as normal (one reason shows and movies need to stop using certain stereotypes..a lot of stereotypes.)
this goes all the way from LGBQT relations, racial, child behavior like the *oh him bullying you means he likes you*, clear over to things about, like quicksand, how animals behave (hollywood likes to treat all animals as dogs…and that is a bad idea if you plan to interact with them(
but on the physics side, things like not being harmed by an explosion because they avoided the incendiary part or debris…despite being right next to the epicenter of a building destroying shockwave…, as well as how hot lava is, how cold frozen over water is and how quickly an untrained body will just shut down init, people walking away with no injuries despite no padding from falls into waist deep water from a hundred feet, or a pile of leaves, dumpster, catching a ledge while falling (which I know from personal experience will still scratch and bang you up, and I pulled a muscle doing it to).
among so many others to the point that every action hero has to be declared superhuman.
heck I could rant about bad anatomy in these movies *house wife stabbing a vampire through his shoulder blades and ribcage with a yard sign with one clearn thrust*, and so on. and all those zombie movies making cutting a head off look so simple. (there is a reason hospitals and butchers have special saws, tired person running you won’t be slicing off zombie heads left and right with a machete; a living person would be seriously hurt or killed, but that’s because they need the soft tissue to live, having to go through the spine…yeah, not as easy.
and so on. But the closer they resemble reality, or ate things the audience doesn’t encounter on a daily basis, the more it ingrains in them as *this is how things work*.
He has a lava waterfall that parts to a usable walkway- the tech needed to have ANY of that work, makes assuming tech that manages the temperature reasonable. Either some tech that shields against the heat, or the whole thing is fake and just looks like lava- which is an option since it looks and moves like a wall of red hot solid rock than liquid, though a forcefield containing the heat and lava both makes just as much sense for that effect.
Lets give Syndrome some credit- one of the few people to have a volcano lair, which doesn’t melt, blow up or suffer an erruption, solid supervillian engineering.
Tom is going to have both sisters at the same time!
Tom’s reasoning is a little shaky. If they take after each other he’d end up with two slaves being brats towards him.
I think he actually like Dabbler the way she is so he wouldn’t mind if her sister was like her.
Parfait’s face looks like she was drawn for a children series.
I am a bit curious about the smoke hair, though.
I remember being fairly traumatized as a child with that Volcano subway scene…WTF…
Pretty sure Deus means “inexplicable” not “implacable” there.
If he doesn’t, he should.
” “implacable””Means, he cannot stop doing it.
If it was implacable, he’d be doing it every couple of minutes.
If he’s doing it seemingly randomly (and it’s been quite a while since the last time we saw him do it), then it’s inexplicable.
Not if doing it once placated the urge. I do prefer “inexplicable”, was initially thinking “irresistible” might be a good choice but it implies Deus a lack of willpower, and we’ve seen he has that in spades. (All-praise-Deus-amen.)
I still think Frodo and Sam should have been Hobbit stew-in-their-own-juices sitting on a rock in the middle of a lava river waiting for the darn Eagles to show up. What the eagles picked up should have been the consistency of cigarette ash. Lava is hot, and there is a lot of it.
“I’ve only known her for one panel, but if anything happens to Parfait, I will kill everyone in this comic and myself.”
Hah hah.
exactly how close is Tom to crossing the line? From all indications he is trying to get an obedient lover out of the deal, which might just be part of the role play but also seems like its toeing the line if he continually tries to get Dabbler to act more submissive and obedient, even if his action in that direction is limited to arguments and doing things to annoy her.
Parfait face is striking some old memory, might be the hair with the anime innocent face, legend of Dragoon maybe, but looking through old demon anime, she just has the same general face of a 1980s to early 1990s cute anime character, I am reminded of one that was like this demon unicorn with an extending horn who was also mostly innocent, but it was a hentai I believe coming to mind.
correction, the 1997 anime is just called (Dragoon),
-and so rare, three episode long pilot is all that exists after all- I can’t find a pic of her transformed, girl on the right. One of the older *sweet and innocent character, turns into a destroyer when threatened, is actually a living weapon*
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A1HZS6Q5L._AC_SY445_.jpg
the other one I was thinking of I am pretty sure is from a hentai, but trying to find a specific demon girl from a hentai without knowing the title or her name on the internet is like trying to find a specific plankton in the ocean.
Can we get species clarification on Parfait please.
Is she named “Parfait” because of the dessert or because it means Pefect in French and probably some other languages?
“Everybody likes parfait.”
Also, I’m thinking it’s kind of a play on stereotypical sugary-food hooker names like “Candy”, “Cherry”, “Cinnamon”.
Because of the wordplay. :)
Tom likes to fill up on Parfait.
Tom eats Parfait regularly.
Parfait is a creamy delight.
Tom has some Parfait when he hungers.
In Soviet Union, Parfait swallow you.
Tom would never abuse Dabbler’s half sister, because thatwould be a parfaitality.
Oh god I’ve been hanging around Ro Jaws and Brichins too long. Why.
I think you’ve probably permanently lost the loyalty of your ninja. Well, you could probably regain it by committing seppuku, but it wouldn’t do you much good after that.
Once you got the sweet taste of puns and crude stupid jokes your sanity will dessert you.
Pander can never custard us out again. Once yogurt to the dark side, you can never go back. Victory is sweet.
In a previous life I must have run over a bus full of orphans and puppies or something to deserve this.
Donut despair. Life is what you bake it.
There are not enough ninja in the world to punish you and brichins for today. :)
one must begin hiring Pirates!
To accurately determine half of any temperature you need to work in Kelvin. 2200f is 1477k. Half that to 738.5k and convert back to fahrenheit to get approximately 870f.
Still plenty damned hot.
in old 3.5 D&D there were beings of the plane of fire called Salamanders, they had to be 600°F or they would take damage.
THANK YOU! It’s surprising how many people overlook this quirk of using a biased temperature system. If you don’t work in kelvin, you end up with nonsense like “half” of a subzero temperature, being warmer than the original temp.
The *urge* Deus had makes me think his power may be closer to a science related memetic disorder type power- he implied it was super intelligence, and then went on about types of intellect- and considering he has people who are the ones that made the lightning button, he isnt a super engineer.
I am thinking he might litterally have super villiany as a power- as in his power comes with instincts and urges, so he is compelled to monologue, laugh maniacly etc, but also has instincts for timing and or mind games- basically a powerset specced towards being an evil mastermind.
That or its just a joke/he is even more like sydney than I thought
TV tropes even has a page on this. (Of course they do.)
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConvectionSchmonvection
Warning: TV tropes may be addictive. If you experience excessive browser tabs; discontinue use and close your browser.
I seem to be the first person to catch that Parfait is both a figurative and literal Unicorn.
Yeah, media just does not understand Just how hot lava is. the whole trope in video games of jumping over lava pools.
Bitch please, Your ass would catch fire halfway into the jump, and that’s if you didn’t die of asphyxiation from either the heat or the H2S poisoning
Also, “sinking into lava” irks me.
Yes, it’s liquid, but it’s liquid *rock*. It’s pretty damn dense. In Hawaii or Iceland when a lava flow hits the ocean, it just keeps on going down, it’s way denser that water.
So the Fight Between Anakin and Obi Wan would have over in a few seconds. with both of them burned alive.
