I mean Women doing pymary is clearly the less likely option
>>155302965Stupid Soud, you made me look bad
>>155302974Goodwin is already acting like a good Aldish husband to Mikaila.
ah, i guess they're killing lilleord then. shame. good man, presumably
>>155302974Thread themehttps://youtu.be/_kdUzmlNEQk?si=X4lF8yzkuM7vjKsl
>>155302974RIP to the GoodwinxMiki ship. Perhaps dream Duane will have some good advice for her for the incoming shitstorm.
Goodwin, already in hot water, piecing together that the girl in front of was in fact his opponent and realizing that once everyone else realizes too he's boned.
Will might get his ass killed today yet.
>>155303234Ssael please... Let him give them a reason...
>>155302974>Mikaila used puppy dog eyes!>It wasn't very effective...
>>155302965Captain Borger
>>155302974Tsk tsk, Miki got slugged so hard she was knocked clean out of the comic. TRAGIC.
>>155302965>>155302974Who has been the most humiliated by this clusterfuck? Mikki? Goodwin? Rosseau? Argenti sr? The ssaelit faith as a whole?
>>155303281He punched her into next monday
>>155302965>>155302974Jesus Goodwin her accent isn't that bad.
>>155303311
So the others were actually believing a swap happened, and Goodwin recognized the injury he inflicted and then Miki opened her fool mouth and confirmed it with the confined comment.
>>155303301I get the impression Rousseau is this humiliated by everything. He has absolutely no chill.
>>155302965Goodwin looks like he took a bite from a lemon
>>155302974>woman getting closed fist punched in the face at full force
>>155303358>Don't ya get it, Ssaelit? It's over. You lose!>Now if you'll excuse me, all this talk has made me hungry.
>>155303349Silly girl: trying to create a human connection with a Gefendur.Everyone knows Geffies aren't human.
Miki punched so hard she's remembering shit agian...
>>155303354Just going through life, constantly seething.Retail staff must dread him coming into their shops.
>>155303517A goodwin edit of this is needed bad
>>155302965Even spellmaster's hound lolBro Lilleord had better fucking pray Ssael has the mercy to kill him before anyone gets to the barracks. >>155302974:(
>>155302965the fat bronze's name is actually borger? I thought that was a joke
>>155303136I mean Goodwin is at least going to lose his breeding privileges, if not outright kicked out so I feel like they will meet again. In his defense, not only did he just lose his future, he is probably feeling super betrayed.
I wonder what Valentin is thinking. He was seemingly napping through a lot of the duel but he's been around the block for a looong time and clearly quite savvy to hold as much power as he does in this world. For all the fanfare of his arrival he's clearly got something on his mind
My cat made this face when he realised humans could also jump over fences. He was stunned for a solid two minutes.
>>155303569>Lilleordbro got blown up in an ambush during patrolseriously injuredstripped by their mascotforced to listen to the duel outside in his nameHe was too injured to talk before Miki manhandled him, he's going to get executed before midday

>>155302974>WHERE IS MY GODDAMN SANDWICH
>>155303311Didn't you read the patreon update? Probably two Mondays from now, at least. Even more if this is a scene transition.
>>155303737She said "after this scene's over" dude. If it already was over she would have used different words.
>>155303607Cope seemed to imply he saw through the glamour at least midway through the duel.
>>155303301Fucking everyone loses on multiple opposed sides, you can't exaggerate how big a clusterfuck this is>Goodwin struggled against either a coward Ssaelit pissmop, or worse, a *woman*, calling into question his competence. He may, and I am not exaggerating, be castrated this very evening as punishment.>Rousseau loses face as the man who put forth Goodwin as his champion, as such every misstep from Goodwin reflects towards him directly>Argenti and the other Ssaelits are, again, represented by either a coward or a woman to do their fighting for them>The Ssaelits' loss means a cannibal temple will be erected on their front lawn>Lilleord directly had his reputation stained by this right after winning a pymary contest, the legitimacy of which will be called into question. The Gefendur are now actively hunting him down for an explanation he has no answer for because he's been trying to recover from internal bleeding all day.>Mikaila broke several major taboos, leading to everything above. This will shame her, her caste, her faith, and her family, shortly after also losing its patriarch.>Everything above is compounded by the existential war against Cresce, and the need to at least APPEAR competent to the public as the frontlines inch further into Alderode's borders
>>155303799>>The Ssaelits' loss means a cannibal temple will be erected on their front lawnthis was already happening, but now it'll be done using corpses
>>155303799>>The Ssaelits' loss means a cannibal temple will be erected on their front lawnThat was happening no matter what. The duel was just about whether plod labour would be used or not.
>>155302974dayum they got married fast
how is that shit not ending into a riot, after all that shit talk they should be throwing empty cans at each others at the minimum.
>>155303709jesus christ
>>155303311I would like to second this gif: >>155303344
>>155303799I mean, Lilleord is totally innocent and has pretty much the best possible alibi, still being unconscious in the middle of the room they left him in with all his clothes stolen and presumably documented major disabling injuries since even the randoms around knew he was at least kinda fucked up since they were surprised to see himLike he's currently under a lot of suspicion but as long as someone doesn't say "Find Lilleord and hang him immediately" he should be fully exonerated before too long. "Skilled and Respected soldier spellwright gravely injured in line of duty then impersonated by Golden Delight in losing duel" is going to be on every newspaper in the city by the end of the day and if he's the spindoctor type(and not dead from internal bleeding by now) he could probably even play it up and come out with a better rep than before, it's a huge opportunity to demonstrate whatever would be perceived as the proper proportion of righteous fury and wise patriarchal forgiveness after appropriate punishments and assurances that she will live a proper womanly life from now on.
What do you suppose he's thinking?
>>155303828>>155303833This feels like almost semantics compared to all the other stuff
>>155303991>what the fuck
>>155303991I think his neurons are still activating.
>>155303991>I couldn't tell she was glamoured even once during the fight, am I incompetent? No, that can't be it
>>155302974Based Miki, kill him.
>>155302965Kill this albino faggot fr, she was literally bowing in respect and trying to comfort him and he chimps out? This is not a godly man.
>>155303991>this little girl is better than ANY of the wright's I've been training>oh god>all my wrights are literally worse than a little girl
I wonder if Valentin was a part of the council meeting that approved using the Etalarche curse against Roger. Dude seems like the kind of oaf that would vote for something as stupid as that.
>>155304191You mean Rousseau?
>>155302974Alderode delenda est.
To save Will, Mikaila has ruined her own life and Goodwin's.
>>155304204No, Valentin's (the spindly Copper, if I'm not mistaken) is one of the two Geffie magistrati of the Vits Council. I'm just wondering if he was in that position at the time of Roger's rebellion.
>>155304246It's hard to imagine he wasn't, given how entrenched you much imagine Vits members to be, given they're Coppers and Jets. But maybe the Roger thing caused some shake ups and a few, or all, had to cycle out to save political face.
>>155302974damn miki you really are a dumb ass bitch
>>155302974that’s a pretty effective way to show that feminine vulnerability doesn’t do you any favors in Alderode.>>155304246WoG is Valentin was but voted against the measure, being outvoted 3-1
>>155304271>WoG is Valentin was but voted against the measure, being outvoted 3-1Well, fair enough. Guess he's not as dumb as I thought, despite how much of a clusterfuck this current arc is. I wonder what made the other Gefendur guy flip his vote.
>>155303991https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sfs9h3bIDg
>>155304162It's a dick move, but I can't blame him too much. He's a teenager that's just been told that he's going to be made homeless, castrated, and/or killed, and while Miki might have meant well, I can see how hearing "you're in just as deep shit as me" from the person who put him in that situation didn't do anything to put him at ease.
Website comment:>Two pages today, don't forget to click forward~>~AshleyPatreon comment:>Two pages today! We'll make up for all these double updates with a small break after this scene's over.
>>155304345I blame him for immediately retracting his proferred empathy and full force punching a girl younger than him, actually. The nicest way you can interpret this is probably "he would have punched a man too"
>>155304186That explains why he doesn't look very surprised
Have to imagine even within the Aldish value system someone in Miki's ghers or the Ssaelit power bloc is working out the calculus on Mikaila now.As a girl, she's a BAD prospect:>a deep connection to pymary has been allowed to fester which will be hard to ever get rid of>rebellious and masculine>no understanding of her place>few/no assets to her family>publicly embarrassed the SsaelitYou either arrange a very strict marriage for her, and it'll be hard to find takers in this ghers and maybe even this city, or you use her to buy in some promising man from a poorer ghers elsewhere into your one, and that has some value because you keep your more important and better potential brides for other suitors.If you make her efghersit, all the money you already spent raising and taking care of her is wasted.But as a Third Option, he becomes an extremely promising wright. Duane had the wheels greased to take up an expensive pymaric education when it became clear he was so talented. Mikaila has pushed a powerful plat to the edge with no formal training. Third Option Miki could be worth investing in.
>>155304310I don't think Valentin is dumb. Rosseau seems pretty stupid.
>>155304416The "nicest" way you can interpret it is that he's punching a person who risked life, limb, and place in her own community just to fuck around in a duel, for no apparent reason other than that she hated her assigned role and really wanted to, resulting in his entire (short) life's path getting upended. And now she's saluting him. Fuck's he supposed to say, good fight, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go prepare for my next career as a homeless street magician begging for scraps?It's not a good look anyway, this guy would probably marry the status quo if he could, but I get it.
>>155304525When he thought it was Lilleord he was just fine respecting his opponent anon.
>>155304543He was just fine respecting his opponent until Rousseau piped up and he realized actually, no, even though you didn't lose you're losing everything and get to fuck off into the sunset never to be seen again. Then he finds out it's a girl, who shouldn't even BE there, what the FUCK is she here for?
>>155304443I feel like having Miki become a Third Option isn't super viable just because she is that rebellious, and won't give up her identity as a woman for pymary. You probably also need the family's patriarch to sign off on it, so either her grandfather or 10yo brother.On top of that, Duane was a very prestigious wright and priest, and IIRC Lemuel is one of a small number of Soud vliegeng pilots on top of just being a solid officer in general. Unless Simon surprises everyone and becomes incredibly prestigious, Miki will be vital for carrying on that bloodline, so she needs to pop out as many kids as possible.
>>155304310There has not been a single moment in the comic that suggests Valentin is dumb in the slightest.Rousseau on the other hand is dumb as a bag of hammers so far.
>>155304416If she's tough enough to get in the ring then she's tough enough to full force punch.
>>155304568Duane and Lemuel are both dead in the eyes of the public imo. I don’t think the family had the level of clout where people care about preserving their bloodline. Need a friendly copper to get interested for that.
>>155304605Dead or otherwise they were quite famous among the Soud. They also had close ties to the Argenti family. They may not have been the upper crust in terms of material wealth but I don't think it's odd to say they did quite well in terms of social clout.
Maybe Goodwin will just be sent to a milking farm staffed by buxom plat women. You don’t know. Maybe he’s mad because he really is gay.
>>155303605I don't think it's just that. I think it's also the fact that 1.) Wow, I hurt a girl, I almost KILLED her and 2.) She's telling him something that he definitely doesn't want to be told.Punching her won't solve it, though. Those are existential issues, not external ones.
>>155304650>Wow, I hurt a girl, I almost KILLED herI don’t think this bothers him.
>>155304665I do There's an entire panel dedicated to Miki's fucked-up arm after a close-in on Goodwin.
>>155304623What would be the point of that? Nobody wants horse cum unless it's from a good horse.
>>155304677I think that's more to convey that Goodwin realizes that's actually his opponent. The rest of the geffies are unironically going "Lilleord magically swapped himself with this random girl" because it's that unthinkable a girl would be dueling him. Goodwin sees the physical clues and it gets confirmed when she says something "Lilleord" did.
i hope miki gets raped.
>>155304543>>155304525It's worth remembering that Goodwin is a Plat. His life is halfway over. OVER half, when you consider the tail end years are arguably worse than being dead. There's been a couple hints that he's not happy with the lot he's got in life (and Miki picked up on that), and now he's being told he can't even have THAT.I actually don't think he would've punched her at all if not for that last comment. He looked more likely to start crying.
>>155304677That’s him realizing he was actually fighting Miki.
>>155304782I don't think Goodwin ever believed that. It's ridiculous and he's a wright and knows it's not plausible.>>155304589Yeah, Valentin is just bored as fuck.
>>155304815It’s not my fault you can’t read man.
>>155302981I would say that felt like a man-to-man punch, a "you fucking asshole" punch rather than a "shut your mouth whore" punch, but I'm no expert on beating women.
>>155304932>but I'm no expert on beating womenYou need to work on that. Expertise on women beating is key to understanding this comic now that we are in Alderode.
>>155304932Either way, she got knocked the fuck out.
>>155302974In hindsight might've done her a favor, can't have a mental breakdown while unconscious
>>155303799>He may, and I am not exaggerating, be castrated this very evening as punishment.>he's going to be made homeless, castrated, and/or killedGoodwin is a nominally free man who hasn't committed any crime. He can quit any time he wants, he's just indoctrinated and has very poor prospects otherwise. He can't be castrated or killed for not winning a sanctioned duel quickly enough. What Rosseau can do is expel him from the ranks and socially ruin him, including for marriage (not that way (probably)).
>>155304416>punching a girl younger than himaccording to Ashley Goodwin is about as old as Miki, if she is the younger one, then not by much
>>155304733>Nobody wants horse cum unless it's from a good horseIt's dog cum in this world.
>>155304733Speak for yourself
Miki is definitely a deadly Adelier after the family tradition. Ring outed one guy, teamkilled Will, and even though she lost to Goodwin, she has destroyed his life as he knows it.
looks like both sides are over reliant on their champions and have to deal with a really weak majority of the troops
>>155304222Further proof that Will's survival is a detriment to all
>>155305477He can still die here. Maybe he’ll stab Goodwin and be torn limb from limb by the Gefendur mob.
>>155304416
>>155302974Miki is so cute and meek in the second panel it makes me want to jump in and help her
Cresce supporters, it is with great sadness and regret that I now agree with you that Alderode is Bad.
>>155305017Mind you, we barely have to go back two centuries for it to have been considered acceptable for employers and overseers to beat their workers if they thought they weren't doing a good enough job. I doubt workers' rights are much better in Alderode.
>>155305541In Alderode saying this would get you sent to the fire pits.Beating women is the Aldish national sport.Alderode fears Cresce because Crescian women hit back.Copper women grow so big so there’s more wife to beat.Why did the dammakhert make plat girls so pale? So everyone can see where you hit them.The most marriageable trait in an Aldish man is a strong right hook.Why do Aldish men keep dogs? They like to have something at home they don’t beat.The Aldish word for women and the Old Tainish word for “beaten object” have the same root word.They actually transported an Aldish guy into our world once. He was disassembled because he lacked structural support from the khert in less than 2 minutes, but in that time he had already been indicted for 153 domestic violence charges.
>>155305017This, the big issue here is shame. My boy is 15 generations in the making. Essentially his entire lineage is on his back. This probably is more than just a job to him. He probably not the only one of his generation so it's likely very competitive prove you are the one that should be carrying the next generation. Miki being a woman and taking him to the limit is the worst possible outcome. He better hope people believe that lileord bullshit and that lileord dies before he can contradict it
>>155305614Huh, I musta skipped that pagethere's an old picture of "alt universe Mikaila if she had survived" that Ashely posted years before the reveal, she's in uniform with short hair so it may be the third option is her way forward. I think I have it on my other computer
>>155305693is it this one
>>155305439Ten regular guys with swords are worth almost any wright.
>>155305749Yeah, that's the one, that and Bastion saying "All Adeliers are (dangerous)" gave me the clue she was still alive
>>155305749That's not a Third Option, her tits are showing.
>>155304443>hey Miki, good news! you can have everything you ever wanted. all you have to do is throw every woman ever under the bus by admitting that you're actually a man because women can't do the cool shit you do. just go ahead and renounce all of them and we'll set you right upDoes that sound like something someone honorable would agree to? Something Miki would agree to? Or would she hit you with THAT AIN'T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
>>155304847I genuinely don't understand the reading comprehension some people have, all the context and subtext and explication is right there. But we just mind read and imbue motivations for no reason.
>>155305840Nonsense, Mikael Adelier just does a lot of pushups, those are pecs, anon.
>>155306086I don’t think Miki would go for it, but if I was taking the role of an elder in GhersSim Manager 5 that’s what I would be pushing for.
>>155305749Wasn’t this Miki as a rebel if the assassination hadn’t happened
>>155305593>Copper women grow so big so there’s more wife to beat.This is what Rousseau actually believes.
Do we know what Alds think about Cresce combat women? Like, I understand ideology and all that, but on top of having shit climate to feed their troops, Alderode cuts their manpower in half by not allowing more women into the armed forces.And I know there is the question of replenishing manpower, but considering how many women are there is Crescian army, I sincerely doubt Mikaila is only girl with combat wright potential in the whole country. Wright, from what I understand, are a limited resource already.Like... it's simply a question of numbers, old coppers should have come to that conclusion a long time ago. Seriously, for being an ancient vampire political class, coppers are surprisingly not that pragmatic.I know that Riv has to beat Yerta to keep her in line, and Ssael had to... protect women from themselves via domestic violence(?) but c'mon. It wont matter when Cresce wins by virtue of having more troops and elite troops like wrights.
>>155306744>Do we know what Alds think about Cresce combat women?We know Argenti Sr. thinks they're extreme degeneracy that only teachings of Ssael can save us from.
>>155305614Coppers would probably figure that she's a prodigy though
>>155306744Ashley says Copper women are the ones with most freedom and power in Alderode, but obviously they are incapable of casting so they aren't going third option or pushing for women's pymary rights. Also AFAIK after coppers start growing even the men start to avoid frontline soldier duty too since that risks capture by outside forces and possible revelation of some classified stuff, those who have to risk it like the secret keepers in chapter 17 have some kind of killswitches.
>>155302974>DUCK THIS ONE
>>155306516Are those hips and thighs from pushups too?
>>155306744>Goodwin's confinement is generations of family pressure to live up to and his very livelihood >Mikaila's confinement is wanting to cast spells and keep her long hair
>>155306744They're chauvanists at best, might be hard to understand if you don't understand misogyny. But imagine if your enemies fought with 8 year old soldiers. Even if the kids are good (they can't be as good as adults even if there are some outliers), it's disgusting that their army would put them in the field. It's disgusting that you'd have to kill them, and even more disgusting if you were killed by one. Wretched savages everywhere, no winning but to wipe them out. Cut out the disrespect, as Rosseau said.That's what Ald's think of female soldiers.
>>155306847It what happens when you don't skip leg day, anon.
>>155306744Alderode is a republic with a citizen army. On top of the tech level being something akin to ongoing industrial revolution. They probably have more citizens and soldiers to pull from than you think. Now, I don't think Ashley has given us any numbers on such and that's probably intentional (and also more important to the story) because once numbers are provided readers start scrutinizing them.
>>155302965My boy Goodwin does not deserve this>>155302974Nevermind spoke too soon
>>155306889They have cans, sanitation alone with some guy waving his fingers and sterilizing a bathroom to clean room standards (If only briefly) means they don't lose 70% of an army just moving them from point A to point B like what happened in the 18th century. Their demographics seem a little fucked so perhaps they're closer to 20th cen. armies than otherwise, still they can mobilize a fuckton of people probably.
>>155306889Alderode has lower population than Cresce and less first materials meaning they can't compete with war constructs. Their offensive advantages are plats who have enough pymaric advantages that they can be used as child soldiers with little training and still be effective, and vliegengs to a lesser degree. Dammakhert is a big defensive advantage if really required, with some tweaks it can do certain stuff that non-Alds will also feel.
>>155306847Jokes aside a third option is a legal and social fiction, not an undercover crossdresser so it's not clear just how much Mikaila's gonna have to conform, also she's an uppity little bitch so perhaps she'll cut her hair and otherwise not go to any more trouble to hide her figure. We shall see.
>>155306744Ancient vampire political classes are common IRL and are never very pragmatic. When Cresce is actually storming the capital they might consider it.
>>155306744I don’t think you can really find a logical answer for what is just simple misogyny. People will twist themselves in knots to defend their prejudices.
>>155306849Anon, I will give you your dream job, but you have to live, dress, act, marry and raise children as the full trad opposite sex from now until you die.
>>155307070and if you ever meet a person who is Like You, you forfeit the right to fully bond with them because you enforce the painting of shackles instead of removing them
>>155305477And then he couldn't even manage to walk over fast enough to stop her getting knocked into next week.
>>155306744Women fighting isn't the norm in most of real world history, but even then having an extra pool of troops isn't the only factor in terms of military might. Cresce's power comes largely from its highly advanced constructs, it also has an excellent standardized production of Pymarics in general.If Alderode wanted to mobilize more of its workforce in a state of total war, I think women would find themselves in weapons and Pymaric factories, producing rations and equipment, and other similar roles before becoming infantry. And this isn't even a bad thing necessarily; for every guy on the frontlines you need twenty men running support.>Wright, from what I understand, are a limited resource already.Literally anyone can become a wright. What they're suffering from is brain drain; the Lions' mage quality dropped after Duane died because he was a very knowledgeable and effective teacher. Alderode's armies could immediately improve if there was a more standardized training system but you need to overcome generations of factionalism to implement that.
>>155307547>literally anyone can do complicated positional math without making a mistake inside their own head
I'm sketching out a plot arc where Mikki and Goodwin, now both outcasts, are brought together into an odd couple situation by Valentin, who has a very special secret mission for them: eliminate a dangerous cell of terrorists who are threatening Alderode...
>>155306708Ssaelism happened because Sonum Ssael disagreed with beating your wife only three times a daySurprisingly Alderode has the largest number of domestic violence support groups in Kasslyne. People regularly gather in large numbers to support domestic violence.An Aldish spy and his wife were convicted of conspiring against the Crescian date. Before he was executed the Peaceguard asked for his last request. He said "Please Gods let me beat my wife one more time."An Aldish cuckold is a guy who can't punch out his wife without knuckledusters.Aldish third base is giving a girl a broken nose.Did you hear about the Aldishman with two broken arms? He had to learn how to use his feet to punch his wife.In sad isolated villages in rural Alderode, lonely farmboys sneak out at night and beat up sheep.
>>155308363This is the one thing that gets me. I don't think Cope understands how few people could actually run the numbers in their head there should honestly be only about a dozen wrights able to practice this shit on either side.
>>155308471I think a lot of people could learn to do it. I definitely don't think everybody could do it.
But I was just trying to make a joke about Carolus Linnaeus being racist really.
>>155308471She has a running joke about Kassylinians being more related to squid than humans - they're referred to as squid people in her Tumblr posts. Basically the sense they have to interact with the khert is completely foreign to us. I assume the closest comparison would be how we can anticipate the trajectory of a thrown object - it's a calculation but also a reflex. An innate thing that can be sharpened with training.
>>155308494I think the real problem is how specific you have to get. I think if you specify that you're just directing material to go into lines until they reach their point it becomes a much more manageable deal but if you have to go X,Y,Z to the decimal point it becomes something only people with an abnormally high skill in internal mathematics could do.
>>155308555>joke
>>155308442We've got freakin peaceguard posting on thes threads now
>>155307070>you have to live, dress, act, marry and raise children as the full trad opposite sexwomen are too stupid to figure out that *is* the dream job, every other job exists to fund that job.
>>155307070That sounds bad in our world but imagine the sheer upgrade of choosing to be a man in fucking Alderode
>>155308587He has to earn labour points somehow.
>>155308977Imagine going in to be assigned a job and being told that you can best serve Crease by being a professional anti-Ald shitposter.
>>155308756If it was that great, every man would be demanding to be allowed to do it. But everyone knows it sucks, so the minute that females had the option to do anything else, they leapt. Now the birth rate's plummeted.
>>155309071>every man would be demanding to not be menlots of them do though and troon out because of how badly they wish they could be women and have kids
>>155309261That just reads like validation of transexuality to me. No one would choose to be a woman so if someone's saying they are, I'm inclined to believe them. It's the transmen I don't buy.
>>155309389>That just reads like validation of transexuality to me.If you're dumb enough to fall for all the anti-family brainwashing that teaches women that it's evil patriarchal enslavement to be a wife and mother, sure, it would read like that.
>>155308559Mathematics is a learned skill. You wouldn't need to be a genetic freak like Duane, just work your arse off to a greater or lesser degree depending on how naturally you take to it. Khert-sensitivity, on the other hand, definitely seems to be more of an inborn talent.
>>155308756Indeed. And the "til you die" is a fucking lie, it's literally like a 20 year job if you have 2 or 3 kids. That's like half a normal work life.

>>155309071>>155309482You've never been a tradwife, but you know it's great, and the reason most people who have actually experienced it disagree is that they must be brainwashed. OK. Sterling stuff. Circling back to the point at hand >>155307070 what you've said is that in exchange for a generous salary you'll live and dress as a woman, marry a guy, raise his children, suck his cock, and eventually be buried in a dress. I personally would not, but I'm not judgmental.

>>155309580Some of the best mathematicians in the world can barely solve simple addition without a pen and paper. It's a complex topic but only a hand full of people can do what's essentially an extremely complex physics equation in their head. It's fine though Copes and artist not a scientist I've seen worse in comics. It's just a petpeeve of mine.
>>155310440You don't have to go fast with pymary unless you're trying to fight with it or do dangerous shit.
>>155309638There's no serious evidence that Mikaila doesn't have a dick.
>>155308471>>155308555I think they can read data via the Khert lines, which is probably difficult for us to grasp but would let them intuit things like distance and direction when throwing aspects around.And Spellburns are widely used specifically to take a lot of the complexities out when you need to cast on the fly and quickly, and Miki and most battle wrights rely on them heavily. Only turbo nerds like Duane will manually cast especially during a fight. The comparison would be like, core technique is writing your own code, and Spellburns are grabbing what you need off Github.
>>155310312OK, fine, so there isn't a bunch of anti-family brainwashing after all. Whichever, that's all you. Do you want the job or not? My hog isn't going to wax itself
>>155310571That's most of what we've seen from this series it's pretty common to teach a bunch of grunts. It's not really an issue if you have some kind of supernatural ability to tell where someone is at any part.
>>155310440>Some of the best mathematicians in the world can barely solve simple addition without a pen and paperThat's also a learned skill, and when you don't exercise it for a long time it atrophies. The main reason more people can't perform complex equations in their heads is that there's no reason to arduously train for it. You don't have to be a savant, and the savants are training themselves all the time, they're obsessive.Wrights either magically sense exact quantities and distances and velocities, so they don't have to deal with them, or else they're using estimates, in which case their calculations are not all that precise.
>>155310828It's more than a learned skill. There are a lot of people who just cannot do the work regardless of how much or how well you teach them. It's no different than the ability to visualize things. Some people can't visualize shit. A lot of people can't do even basic math internally.
>>155310882>There are a lot of people who just cannot do the work regardless of how much or how well you teach them.Yes yes, like writing or coding or painting or anguages etc. Some people can never be any good at some things at all, some people will be quick learners, some people will be better than you no matter how much you train, a lot of people will have no aptitude because they have no interest, a few people have actual dyslexia or aphantasia or whatever. They're still learned skills.Since you bring up visualisation, take art. Art depends a whole lot on talent. But you will never be a good artist if you don't bust your balls, and even if you have no talent you'll eventually get a baseline competency if you work long and hard enough.If you can't do basic maths internally it's almost always because it was hard or boring for you so you never learned, or you did learn and forgot - not that some people were born with it and others can't learn.

>>155302965Not too well versed in the lore. Why is it okay for Mikaila to be a soldier on the battlefield just a few months back, but not okay to be using magic?
>>155311572Very good, I sensibly chuckled.
>>155311649Nepotism and she wasn't actually doing much fighting. They openly considered her a good luck charm. Without a senior officer forcing it she wouldn't be allowed that much. Her doing pymary was largely a secret we even see that plat guy scald her for doing it in public. Hell the shot on Uaid was largely because Lemon was blinded and couldn't do it himself.
>>155311649She had to be disguised to get out, so it makes sense if she was disguised to get in initially. And if anyone objected after that then Lem would give them the care bear stare
