>Ran strives for utmost accuracy, as befits a man of science
I guess we were really due for a reminder that, despite all the drama and action, it's still a tranny fetish comic.
>>150359254Hey now. It's not just "a" tranny furry fetish comic. It's the BEST tranny furry fetish comic.
At least it confirms that Ran actually read Kassen's reports, that's a good summation of it. Also, it's funny because it kinda read a little like Val is actually addressing the comments made about the the recent strips.Anyway, CAN THE COMIC NOW FOCUS ON THE BERSERKING BUG WAIFU, please?
>>150359480>Anyway, CAN THE COMIC MOVENo, it can't. If you're still not used to that by now, might be time to find another comic
>>150359503We were this Close to getting to Kassen forming an embassy delegation to move to the enclave...
>>150359254not a fetish comic
Do longform webcomics give any of you guys this sense of melancholy? I'm not ashamed to admit that I like what OOPS is about but it's going to be literal decades before there's enough story content for (shit to happen). Me, I want answers on the post apocalyptic implied backstory of the setting, I want to see if Kass is going to get a happy ending or not, and whether or not he's stuck forever as a ratbird, fated to be outlived by all his friends. And it's not like most of the furshit comics I read DON'T upload consistently, they stick to the weekly bit for literal decades. But it just kinda stinks that we're not going to get the full product for years and years, even if there was a billion dollars backing it, because these indie creators physically do not have the stamina or output to make that happen.
>>150359533That's still going to happen probably
>>150360159It's just a comic that happens to be made by a guy with a furry TG fetish. Totally not a fetish comic.
>>150359254And it's a good thing.
>>150360457>Do longform webcomics give any of you guys this sense of melancholy?Yes but not for the same reason. Most longform webcomics eventually go on hiatus and never come back.
>>150360457Katia went for a walk and RETURNED TO THAT FUCKING ROCK AGAIN. At least K6BD seems to be wrapping up and Ava's demon regularly updates again.
>>150360457Get used to it.I have been reading Sluggy Freelance since its early days and it took 18 years to finally get a pay-off Oasis's introduction.Be glad the author is still young as, as they get older they become more and more slower in their update output.
>>150360457At least it isn't Endtown where Gocomic has changed its policy to put most of the archive behind a paywal and the author is stuck with an exclusive deal with them.Good luck trying to find back a plot point you can't quite well remember with that.
>>150359498>>150359503To be fair it's only been a month since yannit got yeeted. Thats pretty good for webcomic time.
Well, here's a question - what even would be the ideal ending you'd have in mind for Kass? Disregarding all the political machinations which clearly implies a larger scope plot, what's the ideal ending you'd have in mind for Kass himself? All the alternate ending shit usually just has him spreading his legs for Elim or becoming a matriarch like Viz, but outside of the tranny analogue shit there, that shit sounds depressing to me. Even if it's medieval times and people get fucked over irreparably for stupid reasons, there's something more visceral about having your entire species and role in life changed. I'd like for him to somehow become human again but I doubt that'll happen due to Val's own tastes, fanbase, and just the convenience of such a thing even existing.
>>150360457>>150360677Yeah kinda this but again for different reason, that being the inevitable drift of art style, writing, intention, that kind of thingThe pain from a creator massively changing the thing you fell in love with sucks ass
>>150360729Is that by Chochi?
>>150360762I think there's a good chance he'll become human again but it'll happen at the worst possible time and fuck everything up even more.
>>150360762There not small chance that setting will develop into Space Opera
>>150360812Yeah
>>150360762>Well, here's a question - what even would be the ideal ending you'd have in mind for Kass?He is turned back to human but still female but that's okay because Isher is still attracted to and in love with him and they end up together.
>>150360790More often you realise it sucked ass all along, they were just good at hiding it. A lot more people can write a set-up than a denouement. Looking at you, Toms Siddel and Bloom.
Did this artist ever complete "Lusty Argonian Maid"? I quit checking after the fox TF.The first few in the bar were decent, showing the characters accidentally triggered by the customers. Now the transformations are without rhyme or reason.
>>150360838Not really "complete", but he is still making new pages from time to time.My one issue with it is that I wish the characters could actually switch back to normal talk as some were initially able to, but it seems they are stuck in role-playing talk forever, now.
>>150360838>Now the transformations are without rhyme or reason.......
>>150360818Nah. First that's not in line with Val's fetish. Second the Thing in the Hole pretty much put paid to that notion. He's sloughed off most of his mass and what happens to lifeforms touched by the goo that aren't big enough to turn into the target creature is real fucking ugly.
>>150360159Yeah. Sure. Okay.
>>150360886>First that's not in line with Val's fetishThats not how this comic works.>He's sloughed off most of his mass and what happens to lifeforms touched by the goo that aren't big enough to turn into the target creature is real fucking ugly.Your imagination is.....limited. There are still new horrors to be witnessed.
>>150360951I'd like to see two people being combined into a singular yinglet, because that's MY fetish of choice.
>>150360762Realistically? Integrated multi-species society with ongoing technological advancement and Kass in an influential leadership role. I think that's about the best you can hope for. >>150360827Extreme doubt that they're going to take off into space. They might be able to call down an orbiting colony ship or something and salvage its information/technology, if that's where the story's headed.
>>150359254>it's still a tranny fetish comic.Forced transformation fetish, actually. That he's female barely seems to matter and there is no tranny prop in it either.Though your head's clearly full of it.
>>150360973I get the impression there has to be some crazy twist that reshapes the latter half of the plot, because otherwise it becomes pretty linear; 'solve a problem with each of the major species, then a happy ending with Kass as a political leader, shipbait, the end'.
>>150360951>Thats not how this comic works.Listen. Does Val have a gender/species transformation fetish? Yes he does, just look at his other comic. I'd bet money Kass is never turning back, that's not how these stories go. Even doing a "serious" non-sexualised story like this one, coming to terms with the transformation is part it. If he could change back he wouldn't have been set up with all this existential angst, there'd be no payoff.
>>150360996You clearly haven't read Lusty Argonian Maid.
>>150361101I'm just wondering how he's going to frame the 'not turning back' part of it later on. The noncanon side content clearly prefers the idea of Kass eventually slutting it up, but I wonder if Val is actually going to pull a 'turn Elim into a Yinglet and have them be a couple' thing.
>>150360996>and there is no tranny prop in it either.And even if there was, why would that be a bad thing anyway?
>>150361031I think spaceships are a possibility. Lost technology. Some kind of secret conspiracy involving the yinglet elders and the artefacts is almost certain. The baxxid might "coalesce". They could wake up people from cyrosleep and shit kicks off, Pastel City style. But they're not going to put on Star Trek uniforms and zip off into the cosmos. If the sci-fi theories are correct I could *maybe* see them boarding a colony ship at the very end of the comic and setting off on a "and new adventures were had" ending, but it's a slow comic, I don't think there'll be any crazy twists beyond what's already been seeded.
>>150361101>Listen. Does Val have a gender/species transformation fetish?That a writer base a story on a fetish they have doesn't systematically means they will prioritise their fetish over a satisfying conclusion.And so far, Vall has shown that he want to write a good story.
>>150361171He did that as a fake out in a patreon thing right after when the head surgeon was saying "we did all we could".So I doubt he's going that route. I doubt there will even be any other transformations in the comic at all unless they are in flashbacks to older times or near the end of the story.
>>150361171He did a side comic where the character becomes a trademaster. Professional ascendency and a good life are probably good enough, no sex stuff necessary. He's pretty good about keeping that out of the main comic.
>oops thread>g-guys did you know val draws tf>ha hachrist it's like you're larping that you've never seen a furry webcomic before
>>150361229Not saying he'll prioritise his fetish. I just know that kind of headspace - his fetish is adjacent to something he's genuinely interested in exploring, and what he's interested in is Kass' struggle with, and adaptaton to, being transformed. Having him change back would undo a whole comic's worth of character development. Remember Kass was already open-minded and tolerant of other species when he was human and has already gone through life-altering events like the war, he doesn't need to learn a lesson, he needs to adapt.
>>150361329>Having him change back would undo a whole comic's worth of character development.Not forcibly. Recovering from something doesn't erase the experience you have gone through.It's like saying that if you write about a character losing the use of their leg, you should never write a conclusion where they ended up being able to walk again. There is no reason not to and it doesn't remove from the character what they have gone through.
>>150361101You underestimate Vals power if you think entirely limited by his dick. Dont discount anything when it comes to Kassens condition.
>>150361316now hold on, normal furry webcomics update five times an hour
>>150361369If you write a story centred around a character losing the use of their legs and coming to terms with it, and then at the end they can miraculously walk again, then yeah that's a cop-out.It makes a better story if Kass doesn't change back. And it aligns with Val's fetish so, bonus.
>>150361415>If you write a story centred around a character losing the use of their legs and coming to terms with it, and then at the end they can miraculously walk again, then yeah that's a cop-out.Again, not forcibly. It's all about how you do it. And coming to think you can never have something again only to be shown to be wrong and actually having it back can be just as interesting for the exploration of the character's psyche if written well.
>>150361415I disagree with your argument and I always will. That mentality needlessly limits the scope of a story that has so far done a fantastic job of presenting its various mysteries.>>150361369This guys been in oops threads for years. Ive probably had this same conversation with him a dozen times. He's utterly convinced kass staying a yinglet is absolutely vital to the story for some reason.
>>150361442Look, I obviously don't know Val's secret plans. But I don't see how anyone can look at Kass' character arc to date and think it's in any way setting him up to change back. It would be out of left field.>>150361455No I haven't. I'm not so smart that my opinions are unique.
>>150361487Again you lack imagination
>>150361329He was really liberal in worst meaning of it about him "not being racist" (see his pre-transformation interaction with Lopin)
>>150361506You fail to extrapolate
>>150361594There are a number of ways that kass could change back that would easily fit into his personal arc nor is there anything about his story that nesscitates him remaining as he is. Going through more uncomfortable and inconvenient changes would not undo any of what he's experienced so far and would only serve to act as more development potential. Also human lass having to run through miles of uncharted wilderness while being chased be a bunch of angry scavs who are trying to figure out where a female went would be entertaining.
>>150361487>But I don't see how anyone can look at Kass' character arc to date and think it's in any way setting him up to change back.It is intentionally set so that we actually don't know if he'll change back or not.
>>150361677Agree to disagree
>>150360889Anon that was just a simple biology lesson
>>150360457I have faith val will carry us to the end
>>150359127The kass suffering must continue
>>150360812He's done a bunch of oops art
>>150359127Furry "fandom" goes on >>>/trash/
>>150364475This is a comic being posted on /co/
you have to admire val's restraint if anyone else made this comic i fear how horny it would be
>>150361121That's also transformation, a fetush established long before your tranny brainrot metastisized.
>>150365871Not that anon, but I have been into the TF fetish for over 20 years and I can assure you that trans people where in it even then.Stop being full of shit.
>>150365965Bullshit, it was never ever EVER anything like it is today.
>>150365214It's because his other comic acts as an outlet for all his horniness.
>>150361316Pages like this always make people act funny
>>150361031Val has said the ending will be "bittersweet." My guess? Yannit freaking out and going batshit insane is a harbinger of worse shit to come. Kinda hope I'm wrong, but I think Varicroix being obsessed with integrating non humans into Val Salia the way his ancestor did with the Baxxid is going to blow up in his face.
>>150367492could you imagine if oops was about any fetish other than tf and it was as popular? anons would lose their shit if kass was a wonderbread buyer
I want a footjob from a yinglet
>>150368287I think Viracroix will succeed, but that religious Ynglet will get some main characters killed first. Probably when he pulls a false flag attack or whatever it is he's got up his sleave. Or maybe the enclave is successfully integrated but at the cost of being blacklisted from mainstream Ynglet society.
>>150370110I honestly think the trademasters main goal right now is marrying vizlet publicly
>>150369913That sounds incredibly uncomfortable
>>150372123Not that guy, but their feet are slso hands. So Anon is saying he wants a Yinglet hand job.
>>150372587Again that sounds incredibly uncomfortable
