Sleepless Domain

I should have known Bud was behind this somehow.

So, Harley just walked through the wall? ... I so want a breakdown of everyone's powers...

I assume she jumped over. Her cape looks glowy because she's dismissing her costume.

Possibly. It kind of looks like her hand is still in the wall.

Merry Crimmus!

I wonder if Tooth Fairy has workers or also has similar powers as Holly Jolly

Merry Crimmus part 2!

Holly Jolly (Whose names should be swapped around because I keep confusing them) is the real identity of Goops.

Alright so the question now is how canonical is this and why is the Golden One giving Anemone presents, aside from her generally deserving to get something?

I assumed Holly Jolly left the gift.

So did I but it is gold. Hmmm... Perhaps, they are one and the same???

It is a bit of a downer that she doesn't have any friends, apparently.

Would be nice to have some immortal magical girls helping out these very, very mortal ones.

New Comic: Zoe is super cool and the best

I get the feeling this'll be the inciting conversation that gets her into fighting. Presumably into HP and Undine's team, eventually.

It's going to inspire her to do something, that's for sure. I'm still not sold on if it'll turn out well or not.

New Comic, in which we get some insight on what it's like for the parents

That's actually some good insight for us to have. We never got to see Gwen, Sally and Sylvia's parents react to their deaths. Seeing Zoe's parents talking about this sort of thing is interesting.

Also, Zoe's cousin is adorable.

Plus, depending on whether or not Zoe's parents realized she was trans prior to her getting her powers, I imagine the shock/worry would be compounded by not even realizing it was a possibility beforehand, like they would have with Zoe's sister.

Aww I really want to see her transformation but I know it's going to be held off for a suitably dramatic moment.

I have issues with the way Zoe's character is presented. The comic acts like it's perfectly fine for her to mooch off everyone and demand the same benefits as the people literally risking their lives every night despite not doing anything to deserve it herself. It's pretty reasonable to not want to fight monsters in life or death battles, but then why not just do like Rue and move to a regular school instead? It's not like she has any friends or anything keeping her at the school. Then add the fact that it seems anyone could pull off the same stunt of getting the superpowers and the preferential treatment without the duties that go with them, but literally every girl in the entire city but Zoe has the decency not to, and Zoe comes out even worse. This whole thing comes off as someone trying to get veteran benefits without actually having served in the army, yet the author just brushes it under the rug and it seems no one in the fanbase cares either.

1) Zoe is not necessarily the only magical girl who doesn't fight, just the one we know about.

2) Attending the magical girl school might not just be an honor, but a matter of security. It depends on how the city keeps track of them. (I wonder if there's ever a kind of draft?)

3) Zoe will not become a celebrity like the girls who fight, and might not even be recognized as a magical girl in the streets, depending on how closely people look at her eyes. She hasn't indicated that she wants to be lauded. All she does is attend the school, if I remember right.

I wonder if it was even Zoe's choice to go to Future's Promise? When she was confronted by it early on she said she attended because her parents liked its educational standards.

Also, remember Zoe has been a magical girl for less than a month. Even in real life boot camps, places that train adult soldiers for combat and military life, takes months, plural, at minimum.

I don't see an issue with someone needing time to come to terms with becoming a magical girl before deciding whether or not to fight (and Zoe is still deliberating on that, remember). Especially given the possibility that Zoe might not even have known her becoming a Magical Girl was even possible in the first place (that's just speculation though, since we don't have any was to know how commonly known that part of things is).
