Added 2025-03-14 03:43:27 +0000 UTCRed alert, we have some extremely hefty feelings on this page! I am still on the fence if I want to include the original script dialogue where Ethan replies with "I know you did" in the final panel here, or if I leave it with just his expression to speak for him. Decisions, decisions! ヽ(´□｀。)ﾉ
I found a song the other day that hit just right as I was drawing this page, which I'll link to here if you also would like to wallow in extra melancholy as seasoning for this scene, lol

OKAY… DON’T FUCK WITH MY OLD MAN YAOI! You don’t see much of it in published form! It is needed and appreciated by many who keep it to heart! Old men (all people) need loving too! Listen up readers… you will be in my shoes one day (I donate my cool shoes, so look for them in the thrift stores!) and you too, will be looking back on your bygone days with loving fondness! 👥🫂

2025-03-24 17:10:15 +0000 UTCJust me over here doing conspiracy theory pointings. If Al gave Ethan all the power he had, ala Trading Places, and the line is fizzing out, as Ethan reaches 00:00:00 - he has no power anymore, right? So what is the point of the binding now, and would it even continue to work, would it not fizzle if Ethan has run out - but then again the eyes are still on and.. and.. and.. *crumples theory paper, throws it in the bin with a sigh.* (also, excellent song!)(

2025-03-19 07:34:41 +0000 UTCOmg, I’m so happy I’m not the only one in this boat! 😱 I ALSO got my industrial because of this comic 🤣🤣

2025-03-17 20:34:25 +0000 UTCI am so jealous and happy for you! TwT I wanted an indistrial for the same reason, but my blasted anatomy prevented me from doing so! (On both ears, to boot!) I have two small helix piercings now instead, and two lobe rings on the other ear to commemorate the Great AL, so I stand with you in Al-Piericing solidarity! (>w<)/

2025-03-16 08:13:36 +0000 UTCIt def takes a while to heal. Mine feels great now, but I really didn’t enjoy sleeping on it for about a year.

2025-03-15 20:04:25 +0000 UTCOh wow! I still want an industrial, but I don't enjoy the prospect of the many months it can take to heal ( •﹏•)

2025-03-15 18:38:31 +0000 UTCMe: crying because I’ve been following this story since the pandemic and it’s my whole reason I got my industrial piercing. 😩

2025-03-15 18:11:48 +0000 UTCaagh thank you 🥹
Asmodeus
2025-03-15 13:16:01 +0000 UTCIt was destroying me so effectively I thought I should share haha 🥹
Asmodeus
2025-03-15 12:04:59 +0000 UTCOkay okay hear me out. What if this means that Al gets to go back and have it out with Malthus, but this time Malthus understands just a little bit more and is entirely taken aback by the fact that demons CAN love. And then some day, some time, they're reunited once again. PS Asmo you're brilliant with both writing a compelling story and your art <3 can never give you enough kudos.

2025-03-14 20:05:03 +0000 UTCOhh yeah, you just had to throw some Amber Run salt in my wounds, didn’t you? 😭 I rarely expect comics to affect me truly and emotionally, but after this long… I’m genuinely tearing up over this. You can’t let our boys end here. 💔
Probably.Eating.Poptarts
2025-03-14 18:37:32 +0000 UTCI think letting Al have the last word has much more of an impact.

2025-03-14 18:06:22 +0000 UTCAl did exactly as he wanted this time around. He followed his heart, loved with all he had, made the sacrifice, and knew what to do. And Ethan loved him back. So very proud of him and crying hard. The old saying between grief and nothing...

2025-03-14 17:08:15 +0000 UTCWhat happens next?!? Such exquisite story-telling.

2025-03-14 13:51:45 +0000 UTCThank gods! I’ve been reading this for years and it would have killed me if it ended like this haha

Murkoph
2025-03-14 11:17:25 +0000 UTCIf he said it, I think it emphasize the said, because he really saw it in the flashback. The song is perfect... But i'm in total denial.... NOPE In my head, there a happy ending for them in this life...
LadyKya
2025-03-14 08:35:53 +0000 UTCPerfect song to go with this heartbreaking episode! 😢😭 I know not every story has to have a happy ending! I can only hope… 😮💨
Theo
2025-03-14 07:59:16 +0000 UTCThis literally feels like a scene from 'The Fall', where Lee Pace's character is telling the other lead a story, and he's so depressed and upset with himself that he can't help but kill all her favorite characters off--and she's just begging him to stop. UGH

Theo
2025-03-14 07:46:45 +0000 UTCThat Amber Run song is haunting and, sadly, perfect for this moment. I hate that it works so well and makes me feel my feels! WHY would you do that to us????

2025-03-14 07:44:52 +0000 UTCMake room for me! I clicked on the song and now 😭😭😭
camelotcrusade
2025-03-14 06:46:02 +0000 UTCEthan knows exactly what it means to see Al’s collar dissolve. He wouldn’t need to say the words. And while we’re at it: WAaaaahhhh

carley
2025-03-14 04:47:42 +0000 UTCThat part aside I think it more closely aligns with what you’d be ABLE to say in such a situation. There comes a point with emotion where you just can’t speak- this would be a perfect example

2025-03-14 04:31:20 +0000 UTCI AM HOLDING. LUCKILY I GOT TWO HANDS - SOMEONE ELSE GRAB ON HOLD FAST ;-;

2025-03-14 04:24:19 +0000 UTCNope. Nope. Nope nope nope. Not the end. We’ll get our happy ending… I hope.

2025-03-14 04:23:12 +0000 UTCIt's finally warm enough to cry while I'm outside but that didn't mean I wanted to 😭
Silvera
2025-03-14 04:23:06 +0000 UTCI'm leaning towards leaving it out, I think it's probably superfluous at that point!
Asmodeus
2025-03-14 04:21:35 +0000 UTCHold my hand, we'll get through it!!
