Grrl Power #1272 – Gracilis-less
If you were betting that Sydney would defeat Sydney in the next matchup, then you’ve been paying attention.
You ever pull a muscle so badly that a totally unrelated part of your body spontaneously charley horses itself?
So it seems obvious that I need to elucidate upon Sydney’s featherfall passive. It doesn’t work if she’s touching the ground. It basically works until she’s her own height from the ground, and then there’s like an S-Curve of gravity reasserting itself as she goes below five feet.
Her “distance from the ground” as far as the featherfall passive is concerned is based on her center of gravity. This will vary for people based on muscle and fat distribution, but for women it’s usually just below their waist, a man’s is higher, around the xiphoid process. This assumes someone isn’t a skips-leg-day bodybuilder or they don’t have a huge ass or chest. Sydney’s is a bit higher than a 36-24-36, but not by much. So if she’s falling feet first, once her, let’s say navel, crosses the 5′ mark, she’ll start to accelerate, but that means she only has about 3′ in which to do it. If she’s laying flat on her back in the air, above 5′, she’s capped at about 2 meters/second. As she drifts below 5′ she picks up about 1 meter per second per second, which means she’ll actually start accelerating. At 3 feet off the ground, she’d be at something like 4m/s/s, and a foot off the ground, she’d be almost up to 9.8m/s/s. But being that close to the ground, she won’t have much time to build up speed.
Which means if you give her a judo toss, she’ll probably hit the ground at about 1/2 to 1/3 the speed you’d expect, unless you really put some stank on it once she was over your shoulder. She can be accelerated into the ground by force, but if you’re 100 feet in the air and throw her at the ground, she’ll slow down pretty quickly, although it depends on how much force is used.
But it doesn’t work if she’s touching the ground, which means she can still trip and fall over stuff like a dumbass. She’d actually be in a better position in some cases if slips so hard that her feet leave the ground.
Did you know that tungsten hexafluoride is 11 times denser than air? Please do not breathe it in an attempt to make your voice lower. It is toxic and highly corrosive. Sulfur hexafluoride is the one that lowers your voice. Why am I mentioning tungsten hexafluoride? Cause I started writing about how Sydney’s featherfall would be like falling through different mediums of varying density, but I think you guys get it. No need to spell it out like I’d started to. But it does make me wonder how falling through an atmosphere consisting of WF6 would affect your fall speed. I assume it’s a lot more complicated than “you’d accelerate 1/11th as fast as you would through our usual nitrogen/oxygen/etc atmosphere,” but maybe terminal velocity would be 1/11th? I found reddit post claiming that acceleration through WF6 would be 1.8m/s/s, but I’ve no idea how accurate that is. Obviously, being 11 times denser than Earth mix atmos would cause the barometer to need a few more hash marks, and “sea level” PSI would be, I’m guessing, 172 pounds per square inch, roughly? What I do know is that if Humans found a planet where the atmosphere was all WF6, we’d mine the shit out of it, because tungsten is rad.
The new vote incentive is up!
Oh no! Superheroines in a deathtrap! Well… a tickle trap. Okay, not trapped, trapped, but… look, three of the girls are getting tickled. Actually, in a way, seven girls are getting tickled since the other four Harems will feel this as well, but technically it’s only the three shown in the picture since Harem insists there’s only one of her – it’s just confusing since she can be in 5 places at once.
As you can probably imagine, Patreon shows what happens if they laugh, and also has a comic revealing who is behind this nefarious situation.

Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Medic, and possibly some counseling for this baseless overconfidence.
Na, she smashed Math in the face once. Just once but that’s actually near impossible for most others.
And Dabbler on the head once.
So, as a well-informed villain I could tie a large rock to her feet, put her in mittens and then throw Syd off a cliff to cancel her featherfall? Hmm..
If you’ve gotten close enough to do that, just inject with her with a general anaesthetic and toss her off the cliff into raging water. Featherfall doesn’t counter drowning.
If you’re close enough to do that, just shoot her. KISS principle – Keep It Simple, Silly!
A really sharp blade at that range, why make more noise than you have to, then drop blade in some of your spare 100% H2O2 and toss in the clothes you were wearing at the time…then pin it on the boss. That’s how to stay hen…so anyway I have to get back to feeding the bass their EMP’s really mess with my phone.

Something I’ve not seen answered yet but have wondered about, can the passives be turned off? We’ve seen that some skills can be toggled, adjusted, or have a separate ‘activate’ action (such as the teleport). It might also explain why the other passive hasn’t produced any noticeable effect.
It’s probably wise to adapt the firearm policy of “keep in mind what’s behind your tagert in case of a miss or overpenetration” to melee “keep in mind what happens if you don’t make contact”
It can save a dislocated hip or knee if you can keep your balance if things don’t work out the way you expect them to.
A Glaser Safety Slug is designed to avoid overpenetration an Expanding bullet doe the same , but they does horrendous damage on unprotected meat target .
And they are less effective against body armor …

Too much anime. Only surprised she didn’t make flourishy gestures first
Is there a list of her passives,somewhere?
As far as we know, the only one she’s unlocked is the feather fall one on the flight orb. The rest aren’t ID’d yet, and probably won’t be until she unlocks them (which will hopefully happen in-comic). Actually, I’m kinda surprised she didn’t unlock a passive after Galytn, though the double-tongue on the lighthook might be the passive? *shrugs*
She started with one in the “atmosphere” orb before she knew what it did. We still don’t know what it does passively yet, though. It clearly doesn’t seem to keep her local atmosphere breathable for her, since she needs to activate it to refresh air in her shield.
Ah! I’d forgotten about that one. Thanks!
Hmm, interesting. Sydney’s ADHD does not seem to come with the common EDS-or-at-least-hyperlax comorbidity, or she’d just be asking for help getting up rather than… medic. Then again, all the more power to her, because chronic pain isn’t funny.
Huh. Been ADHD my whole life. This is the first I have heard of hyper mobility associated with it.
Yeah, hyper-mobility is its own thing, as far as I’m aware. Can they happen together? Sure! Do they always? Nope.
I’m ADHD, and if anything, my joints are tighter than average. As an example, I have never been able to reliably touch my toes with my knees straight. Once after several months of daily stretching I could barely brush the tips of my fingers across them for a split second. I never got much past this because I got distracted and stopped the daily stretching. I’m not saying that my lack of experience in this one thing means it doesn’t happen, but I’ll note that all the ADHD comorbidities I’ve read about are all brain related.
As another example, for most of my life I thought I had bad hearing because I couldn’t understand a conversation with background noise. After testing, turns out I have excellent hearing, and then I find out that Auditory Processing Disorder is a common comorbidity with ADHD. Basically, my ADHD brain can’t focus on the one conversation (the person in front of me, or the TV I’m watching) when there are so many other conversations it can hear. I solved the problem by wearing headphones on the rare occasion when I want to watch TV with background noise, I wear noise-canceling headphones so I can concentrate at work, but I still have yet to solve the conversation-in-a-crowded-restaurant problem.
I was in grad school when research on ADHD started going mainstream so I had already learned enough coping skills to get by and I never bothered to get diagnosed. My symptoms are pretty mild. I did have the hypermobility, have being the operative word. In my youth I could bend my fingers all the way back againat the back of my hand and I was quite the litle contortionist. Unfortunately hypermobiity is also associated with arthritis and other joint problems in later life. I’ve had two spine surgurys and my hands are stiff enough that it messes with my typing.
Yeah, I’ve got hypermobility syndrome and Aspergers, which is if anything the exact opposite of ADHD. I don’t think they’re correlated at all.
When you’re young you think hypermobiity syndrome is cool. A bit older and you get tired of spraining your joints. At my age it’s all arthritis, not cool at all.
My style of ADHD comes with chronic clumsiness, but not anything resembling agility or flexibility. Mind you, ADHD is a set of symptoms, not a diagnosis, with lots of unrelated causes. Some have psychological issues; others have messed up brain chemistry or genetic changes, like various forms of autism. The reasons are diverse, but the outcomes are similar, but not the same.
I looked into your question about terminal velocity in different fluids, and, well, it’s a question on fluid dynamics, which is a can of worms if ever there was one. While there is an equation to calculate terminal velocity into which we can plug in different values of fluid density, that equation also includes a drag coefficient, which is sometimes able to be treated as a constant based on shape, but other times must be treated as a derived number that ALSO depends on fluid density. It’s been too long since I took the relevant classes. Um… IF we can hold drag coefficient constant, falling in a gas 11 times as dense as air results in a terminal velocity about a third as fast (speed divided by the square root of 11, to be more precise). As far as acceleration goes, you’ve gotta throw out the idea of constant acceleration (sorry 9.81 m/s^2). The whole concept of terminal velocity is that as an object is falling, the fluid through which it’s falling is resisting its continued acceleration more and more effectively as its velocity increases. An object falling through WF6 (or through standard air, for that matter) wouldn’t be falling with constant acceleration, because if it were, there would be no terminal velocity.
True. I calculated the buoyancy in another comment, which does affect (albeit disappointingly marginally) the acceleration, but I ignored drag and terminal velocity. Those are, as you state, much less non-trivial to figure out.
Tungsten has a supervillain name?
“W”: from Wolfram, originally from Middle High German wolf-rahm ‘wolf’s foam’ describing the mineral wolframite.
Thanks Wiki!
Same with Sodium with the symbol Na and Potassium with the symbol K.
Most of the rest of the world calls them Natrium and Kalium respectively.
See, this is why you do martial arts barefoot, not in socks.
Yes I thought Jabberwocky was sort of negligent in not pointing that out, but perhaps she’s of the school that thinks you learn from non-lethal mistakes and the consequences thereof.
{waggles hand} I personally prefer barefoot, but the style of Angola Capoeira I currently train in suggests shoes from some historical “classes were on the street” baggage, as well as trying to reduce injury/infection from dirty (or fungus-infested) surfaces. Some of our students do go with socks as a middle ground.
Shoes or bare feet. If your martial art is entirely for special conditions like the sumo ring, competition Sambo mat or buhurt the clothing is an integral part of the practice. If your martial art needs to be useful in everyday life then you should spend time practicing it in something like everyday clothes. For most of us that means shoes of some sort.
Yeah. Bare feet are much safer on mats.
Though there was that one time we cleaned the mats with something new, which had silicon in it. This made the mats so slick that if there was any sideways vector in a throw the Uke would slide after hitting, even if they properly slapped out. Our instructor got mad when he caught some of the kids spinning a black belt, break-dance style. :-)
We never used that cleaner again.
Perhaps Sydney was thinking of generating enough static electricity to give Jabber a Palpatine-esque electroshock attack.
This is where Sydney learns that the remaining orb is for healing. My personal theory is that since these are some sort of alien tech the orbs will start to either heal here towards the alien species (since that’s its “normal template”), or start to heal her towards “optimal” human, making her look more like a “normal” super. I’m betting on starting with a larger bust, mostly for the lols.
Shouldn’t she have learned that one when shadow guy and Math gave her such nice bruises, or when she got hurt while on Alar? Or are you thinking it won’t deal with relatively minor stuff, or needed time to figure her physiology out?
I’m thinking she never activated that orb after she was injured before. I do agree this would be an ideal time to see if that’s what it does without having to get a papercut to see. Although her heebie-jeebies at the suggestion of a papercut back near the start of this comic was hysterical to read.
I was thinking the same thing. If she’s a spaceship the last thing she needs is a self repair or a med bay kinda function.
Time to split.
That should not have made me laugh as hard as i did…
Still, thank you for the belly laugh.
Also, i had to look up what “Charley Horses” meant in this case. Sometimes language barriers can be annoying.
Got to admit I like bad jokes.
I saw a YouTube short showing the ladies of 1Illusion gymnastics team try something similar: Do a standing split with one foot on the ground and the other held above her head, then fall forward to land in the splits. The ladies could all do it, but none of the guys wanted to try.
That’s because the guys have something that would hit the floor painfully that none of the ladies have, even if they could do a standing split with ease
It’s amusing that Jabberwocky channels “matador style” to counter the kick (I assume that’s the “Ole”, though she probably doesn’t need to channel anything to counter a kick that *might* have made contact).
I suppose a matador counts as a type of animal (humans are animals after all). Mind you, that could get out of hand. Could she channel “John Wick style” for a ranged attack?
Maybe she is just making fun of Sydney’s presumption of her overconfidence.
In Castellano – Castilan, Spanish – a matador is literally a killer…
She channeled “crusader style” back during the big villain fight, so yeah.
This is the anti-dragonball of laying down the 20kg cape
Falling through WF6 (or any other fluid) won’t affect your gravitational acceleration at all. The only thing it impacts is your terminal velocity, reducing it due to increased drag for increased density+viscosity. That is, until the fluid’s density matches or exceeds your own, at which point, you just float. D*v_terminal = m*g (D = drag coefficient, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration). The effective acceleration will fall from g to 0 as falling speed increases, until drag and weight match.
And of course, I forgot to factor in bouyancy, which reduces your effective weight by the weight of displaced fluid. So it’s really D*v_terminal = m*g – density*V*g = m * (1 – density*V/m) * g. That means that your acceleration decreases from (1 – density*V/m) * g to 0 as you approach terminal velocity.
Disappointingly, even the heaviest of gases are so very light compared to fluids and solids, that the buoyancy they provide is only really noticeable if what they are trying to lift is another gas. Like in the case of a balloon or an airship. Then, on the other hand, the differences between gases can become striking! But let’s do the math for a person.
(I’ll be using SI units since that’s what I know, feel free to convert if you feel the need to!)
Humans are roughly as dense as water, so 1000 kg/m³. This means that a person that weighs 60 kg (in the ballpark for a shorter than average woman around my neck of the woods) displaces 0.06 m³ of whatever medium they are in. In air, which weighs only about 1.2 kg/m³, that is just 0.072 kg, about an eight-hundredth of your weight (as the air is eight hundred times less dense than water/you, we could’ve jumped straight to that result without calculating the volume and go back again, but then we sort of miss out on the explanation of buoyancy!).
WF6 is indeed about 11 times more dense than air, at 13 kg/m³. That is 1.3% as dense as water and humans and will create a buoyancy force that is 1.3% of the weight of the human and therefore will slow down the acceleration towards the ground with just 1.3%. So instead of about 9.8 m/s² you’d accelerate with about 9.7 m/s². (sad trombone noise)
Everything said above is more than accurate enough for where we are, and my comment is not to be seen as critical of O8h7w. Only continue reading if interested in nerdy calculations.
For a bit more precision, all fluids (air, water, WF6) create a buoyancy force based on displacement. But with 0.06m3 of 1.2kg/m3 air displaced, that is a negligible buoyancy force of 0.7N compared to a gravity force of 60kg * 9.80665m/s2 = 588.4N. But for precision, her actual acceleration in air at sea level in Texas would be (588.4N – 0.7N) / 60kg = 9.795m/s2. That rounds to 9.8m/s2, so the classic physics assumption “in a vacuum” is valid.
In an open tank of 13kg/m3 WF6 under earth’s normal atmosphere (the density at the bottom of a full atmosphere of WF6 would be much higher), the buoyancy force of Sydney is about 7.65N. The starting acceleration would then be (588.4N – 7.65N) / 60kg = 9.679m/s2. So confirmed, a negligible difference.
Now let’s look at a full atmosphere of WF6. Much less precision here for a variety of reasons. Since WF6 is 11x air density, let’s assume the pressure is also 11x more. With 11x the pressure, the density would also be 11x higher. So instead of 13kg/m3 we have 141kg/m3. Now Sydney’s buoyancy force is about 82.9N. This gives us an initial acceleration of (588.4N – 82.9N) / 60kg = 8.426m/s2, which is a bit more of a difference, but not enough for “feather fall”.
And as stated in earlier comments, as speed increases the drag due to air resistance would also increase much more rapidly in WF6, so the terminal velocity would be lower. Those calculations are waaaay more complicated, but my guess is that it would still be quite fatal even in a full atmosphere of WF6.
Note: These “precise” calculations still ignore the affects of centrifugal acceleration due to earth rotation, variations in earth’s density, and other gravity anomalies, but then this is the comments section of a web comic and not a graduate thesis.
Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiai!
Man or woman, that makes your eyes water in sympathy…
And this is why you do not spar in socks. Ouch.
We did our semi-annual refresher training/test in full uniform, vest, duty belt and boots simply because nobody stops a fight to give you time to change into a gi. The old adage ‘train the way you’re going to fight’ is perfectly true.
Most gyms/dojos/etc have you wear a gi and bare feet to either look ‘cool’ or minimize injuries.
A ‘real’ self-defence class has you wearing what you wore in and most of the women (and some of the men) learn quickly that although flashy shoes with heels are easy to kick off, bare or stocking feet in a bar floor or alleyway aren’t safe or stable and learn to dress accordingly.
As for more mass making you hit the floor harder, that’s a given, the old observation about dropping things down a deep mine shaft works quite well to illustrate that:
“a rat gets up and walks away…a man dies…a horse splashes”
it doesn’t cover getting thrown on a mat and getting the butt of your sidearm jammed under your vest and into your short ribs, but at least it wasn’t a mine shaft ;)
My Silat teacher had us,practice in sweats or everyday clothes. Wrestling shoes if we were on a mat. We continued that when we taught self defense.
Owwwww! Crackling celery sounds? For someone who doesn’t practice stretching and doing splits on a regular basis, that could very well mean torn muscles and possibly detached ligaments. That’s no joke and possibly serious injuries. I suffered a detached knee ligament due to a skiing mishap and was in very bad pain and in crutches for weeks. I don’t know what ligaments are involved with hip joints and thigh muscles but I would think that would be way more painful than the knee.
Most of my life before I got hit with the truck I could cross my legs behind my head, but with all the damage I suffered from that impact I couldn’t move the other leg that much either. A decade later I was doing yoga to restore my strength and flexibility and fell out of a pose and stuffed my foot in my ear. I tore up a bunch of ligaments and they never did quite heal. So now I limp with both legs.
That was my thought for that injury. Thankfully, they have a doctor who can deal with torn ligaments fairly quickly. I wonder if Sydney has gotten on her good side yet.
You know, it would be a LOT more effective if she didn’t announce her moves.
I mean, I get it given that it is Sydney, but she isn’t a Xianxia protagonist or an Anime MC…
Hang on…

Wouldn’t that have made her unable to do those backflips?
True, unless she figured out how to shut it off. But it didn’t save her from the sudden case of the splits, so maybe only works if she air-borne?
I’m complaining that the new info in the commentary about how it ramps near the ground means that she shouldn’t have been able to do those backflips.
A simple “It doesn’t work when you’ve got one foot on the ground” wouldn’t have caused that issue.
What, the featherfall passive? She wasn’t falling, why would it affect her active flight mode?
XKCD has a couple of things you might like to see:

*Fry eye squint*
Wondering is Sydney is really practicing keeping the orbs out of the way (if so, good job doing so while in excruciating splits-pain)…
Or if DaveB keeps forgetting to draw the orbs, and wants to make it easier to draw them back in later…
Also Independence Day yadda yadda, barbecues and patriotism yadda yadda. Have fun, be safe, everyone.
National Excuse for Daydrinking Day.
Sydney needs to invoke Warner Brother cartoon rules for this. Any injury to a character is immediately healed if they walk off frame and then back into frame. Unfortunately for Sydney, she may not be able to complete the ‘walking’ part of that procedure.
or at the very least, ask for a harmonica for when she gets helped up
How much does Sydney weigh?
10X lbs. If I had to guess from the blocking, 107 or 109. But that’s assuming Jabs’s guess is accurate; which it may not be.
Huh. At Sydney’s age, I was 5’6″ and weighed 108lb. I wasn’t officially underweight, either, although I just squeaked in. With the hyperactivity, I was expecting Syd to be maybe 95lb.
My wife’s 5′ even and 85? Used to be 80, but she took up yoga and is starting to build some muscle finally.
Sydney is not as slim a build, and has been forced to exercise a lot, so I’d believe 10X.
She’s also a vegetarian.
I feel for Sydney. I injured myself in a similar fashion 26 years ago – except I was male, and 400 pounds at the time.
Oh lord, surprise splits are not fun. Particularly when they’re the first time you find out you can do the splits.
I played tennis in school. One day, at the courts with a friend, my foot found a spot with some sand that my pal had missed when he swept his side of the court. Instant surprise splits. The memory still hurts, *cough* years later.
Sydney made many mistakes there, including calling out her intentions.
1. NEVER wear socks on a training mat!
2. She wasn’t balanced, you do not kick straight out from the body, case in point ^
3. Cocky and unplanned attacks always fail!
4. Only kick from a proper stance, otherwise it slows the kick down making it easy to avoid.
5. Stretching and improving flexibility is a must, for this reason alone!
I guess the doc is going to have yet another visit from her least favorite patient after this!
1 true
2 there are traditional effective kicks which do exactly that
3 unplanned attacks are some of the best if your training is already dialed in.
4 there are plenty of good kicks which come from natural stances. No obvious “I am taking a kicking stance” required
5 well, yes. But if most of your kicks are ribs or below you need less high kick flexibility and less warm up.
So, who are we assuming is the better medic? Are we about to find out? Is it Frix (with his advanced tech), who is standing right across the room? Or is it the team doctor with the healing superpowers? And have they met? Dedicated healers tend to be very serious about learning new tricks, and becoming better healers.
True, he’ll rush over, scoop her up and take her to Cora’s ship for TLC. Frix has better tech and nano-bytes too. Maybe after this she’ll make the effort to be actually able to do the splits by choice, now that she knows how much it hurts when you don’t stretch those tendons and ligaments out! I learned that early on the hard way too, trying a high kick too soon, had to ice my groan muscles for a few days afterwards and skip my work-outs for almost 2 weeks. Made me walk like I REALLY needed to use the can. Bring cocky during training HURTS.
Based on some quick Googling, Tungsten hexafluoride is about 1.3% as dense as you; thus when falling through it (at speeds where air resistance is negligible) you’d accelerate at a slightly lower rate due to the increased buoyancy, but not enough to notice without careful measurement. (And the difference in pressure would be negligible, assuming you just had a layer of tungsten hexafluoride with a thickness on the scale of meters; if you replaced the entirety of Earth’s atmosphere with an equivalent volume of tungsten hexafluoride then you’d get a lot more pressure, but just replacing a little air at the bottom wouldn’t meaningfully impact the total weight of the column of air from the ground to space, which is what determines the pressure.)
However, you would have a 3-point-something-times lower terminal velocity, since drag is proportional to medium density times velocity squared, so that would become significant with less falling time.
So instead of about 200mph terminal velocity it would be about 65mph (apparently terminal velocity depends on a number of factors, but it’s really quite high for a human).
Still likely to be fatal on impact without a lot of extenuating circumstances.
The Featherfall thing makes sense, or else she would have the WORST time trying to go down stairs with any kind of speed. I suppose she could just hurl herself over the railing and just catch herself when she needs to, but that WOULD be uncomfortable for anyone else she was going with.
so she made the mistake of calling her shots….classic Anime mistake
I mean, she does it because of anime making it a thing.
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!
My thighs and hips winced hard in sympathy the first time I saw this.
That rubber potion only works when inserting in a boring motion.
I see I’m not the only one to cry out in RL at seeing this latest page… O.O
Good news and bad news, Sydney.
Hit me (winces).
Well, the damage is minimal, but permanent.
Like loosing your virginity?
A bit more complex…
(Dabbler jumps in) You won’t be needing potions to be with Frix.
Doc hands Sydney a pamphlet.
“KEEGLES and Me.”
Syd- where’s my boyfriend?
Doc- here’s the bad news…no physical intimacy until
Syd-auuuuuuugh! Just heal me.
Doc- I’m not comfortable with this.
Dabbler- That’s what he said. What?
Changing the athmospere won’t change your accelleration, but it will change the friction retardation of the fall, changing among other things terminal velocity. Not only the density of the athosphere, but the viscosity is a factor.
This uncomfortably reminded me of my yoga accident back in December 2011, I fell out of a pose because I’m a klutz and stuck my foot in my ear.
IN? Are you a Yordle? *hugs the possible Yordle*
What is a yordle?
If you need to ask then you probably aren’t one. Somone would have told you by now.
I feel strangely comforted by that.
A Yordle is what you get when a Mogwai Fraternity and a Gnome Sorority have a mixer after Finals Week.
