Ben :
Good use of the meme.
The terrible twosome are pretty awful aren't they.
I shouldn't be surprised these two are going to be difficult to deal with. Actually I am not.
They're not complaining he still ended up smoking eh ? :D
Wolfe just looks like he wants to make new friends! Very Wolfe.
Harry is determined to remain unimpressed by the whole crown business.
Tell Blake and Bryony to get stuffed! Unless THEY want to clean up the mess!
My thoughts exactly. Mal's job is to get down to the root. Those "wizards" can stay up there and start lopping off the branches.
Why does she say "witch" like it's an insult?
Because for her it is. How dare a "witch" have access to power and respect without being Approved and Accredited by the the Establishment and its Hallowed Institutions?
It's one of the defining loathsome attributes of elitists of any stripe. How dare you have an opinion at all, much less be correct, without The Correct Credentials?
And woe to you if you say something that goes against the prevailing orthodoxy.
Sounds like any clique in my opinion. Would fit right in with the "cool" high school girls' group. Some people just don't grow out of it I guess.
On the other hand, if you are a renowned geologist and are stuck with someone telling you that you are wrong and the Earth is flat, I could understand some of the frustration. The point is that the witch is technically the expert in this case, as it deals with the anchor. O'Malley can sense things and look at things that the others can not. Working knowledge vs book smarts. Both have their uses, but working knowledge is normally the one with the most experience in a local area (ie: a fisherman that has been fishing every day in the area for 50 years vs a marine biologist trained on the opposite side of the continent. The fisherman is the one who is going to know where the fish tend to be.)
That makes no sense here: Ben is the book smart one, not his relatives.
I think Blake and Bryony are more academically successful than Ben, they were top of their class at Widdershins uni while Ben only got a 3rd class degree from a much worse uni. He talks about them in this Q&A
I said O'Malley not Ben though. I would say that Ben has more hands on experience due to his time working with the group and the deadly sins fiasco. Didn't he get to literally got to see what Mal sees when that got transferred?
Because for a certain type of people, any working-class person is beneath notice. Even more so if occasionally useful. Especially those doing "this" work. (insert any relevant category - sweeper, garbage remover... Eh, pron actress, to mention some recent news)
Disgusting foul creatures indeed Ms Thackerey, but you were the one who invited all these nobs to the rehearsal.
he's just enjoying the chaos
i am here once again to say I Love Mal
(and I love how comfortable and confident he is as the city witch now...the timeskip has given us the chance to see him really coming into his own and that makes me very happy)
I agree. It's so nice to hear him say "my door" and just be more confident. Especially compared to how unconfident and traumatized he was when Acedia showed up again.
I just hope that it doesn't get taken away from him right as he is confident about something.
Sydney gets to see his magpie! Cute!!
"You are not allowed to go and fix the problem until you have fixed the problem!!"
"No take, only throw!"
Ben: "Yes, well, fine job yelling a state secret at the top of your lungs in public."
Ahhhh. bullies. Even when they need help, they've gotta be in control. Gotta love them. (Or not. Probably not.)
Also, thank you Purple Dragon-like friend, glad someone is respectable in my favourite colour on this page ^^
I want every spirit on this page as a pet, plush, or friend. Or all three.
(Especially that little winged snake! He's so happy)
not on this page, but I have a custom plushie of the purple hippo of happiness! :) it's super cute
So, you two non-witches are going to tell the (now) expert Widdershins witch how and when to do his job? Are you purposely trying to mess the whole situation up? Or does this just come naturally to you?
Lancelot and Gren are my two favorite parts of this. He's just like he was at their first meeting, grinning like an idiot when others would be panicking.
