Probably less nerve-racking to pull petals when all of them are ‘loves me’.
Harry looks appalled by this sudden revelation
She looks so embarassed!
I'm sure that's part of it - I saw it as "frantically rethinking things" fwiw.
(If you don't think of yourself as 'romantic in that way' (and I'm sure ten minutes ago Harry's description of such prospects would have included the word 'preposterous') then that's a real challenge to your world. And while processing that, working out what to do with this suddenly precious understanding - and how to broach it? Pretty sure I'd have that "Oh my god" look, too.)
(And sorry for blathering-on on your comment there)
It's a bit like how a person might put little things in their closet over the years, then one day decide they going to clean up their place, only to open the closet and have a decade of stuff they entirely forgot about tumble out around their feet
"Don't open that closet, McGee!"?
I wonder who comes out of Fibber McGee's closet...
The Doctor
If it's only a deep as your feet, you are very lucky.
"Love is an open dooooor!"
Well played!
Indeed. My mind went to the much less thematic "And the truth shall set you free."
😁
"And love, it won't hurt, any more
It's an open smile, on a friendly shooooore"
::choking in laughter::
The song is apparently backwards. Love is a door opener.
Or maybe "road nip one is evil"
Leave her alone. spring comes late for some of us. it's a new and scary thing. there's pollen everywhere and there's bugs.
A truer description of love has ne'er before been transcribed.
Panel 4: there are times when "Hrm" just doesn't cut it.
I assume that, when it comes to having that conversation with Sid, her grumble is going to fill several pages.
And there are times when only "Hrngh" covers it.
After that horrific revelation, I’m not sure Ms Barber wants to go home.
exactly. she may need to spend a couple more weeks on the island having a good think. and some mai tais.
Florrie is going to be appalled - appalled, I say! - that Harry is very likely going to turn up and confess her feelings to Sid without first having had a good bath.
Harry badger don't care.
That.. that was a vlog brothers reference.. I appreciate that
"Hrmp. I need a bath. Come along, Sid, and help me."
More or less appalled than that she missed this moment of being proven right?
I daresay Florrie will feel absolutely devastated.
Whether that's the same as her being appalled or not...? That's up to each individual reader to decide.
Come to think of it, I imagine a whole lot of squealing along with "but look at you, you look like you lived in a forest and haven't washed yourself for months!"
Wait. ... It's one thing to acknowledge it here ... with no practical implications. ...
Harry: "Now, let's not be hasty about it..."
Good, now Harry can land right in the middle of the action. Maybe encounter one of the 10,000 people who think "Harry Barber" is someone else.
only one? She'll encounter them ALL
Preferably all at once:)
Oh! And this is the point where Mal gets the banging in his head from them knocking on the door to his anchor.
Totally failed to see that coming. 😏
Yeah, I'm pretty Harry's side of the story started like 8 hours before the others. Which would explain why she also had daylight on the other side of the world from Widdershins.
lol Panel 5 face.
That's a "I want to go home and rethink my life" face right there.
And love will set you free... or at least open the way home ^_^
Hah! No matter how much you could suddenly do with a few hours to process things. 😏
I must admit I am curious though what will happen when she does step through the door
If she returns to where she left (that magical other dimension pocket with the doors), will she be able to get out since O'Malley isn't there? Or will the door open somewhere close to either O'Malley's location, or Sidney's?
If Mal isn't in the Witch Space now, he will be soon; when last seen he was on his way into the Anchor.
I'm suspecting that Nyree knocking on the door linked to the Widdershins anchor will be the knocking in his head that Mal got out on the Moors that made him set off back to the anchor.
(Ah, this page here: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/april-3rd-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/april-3rd-2020")
- and in fact, PHoH is talking about humans not understanding/being blindsided by their feelings on that same page. 🙂)
Usual proviso about my success rate for plot guesses being awful apply, o'course.
It makes me curious what Nyree thought was happening when Mal did the same back in Chapter 7: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-10th-2018 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-10th-2018")
If her door was rooted over for the past 3 months, and she didn't realize until visiting with Harry, it doesn't seem like she checked to see who was knocking. Maybe the rooting-over to protect the door also muffles the sound. Or maybe she was just asleep :p
That's a very good point! (And good memory too 🙂)
She didn't seem to know that the door had been grown-over, but could have checked before Harry came through.
Since the other witches seemed to know that there action at the Widdershins anchor was going to happen (hence supplying the respite box - and the nice scarf), maybe that was just written-off as 'the expected banging-and-crashing'?
I think you might be right with the being asleep one though - I can see a "I woke with a right headache" comment fitting in to a post event discussion - or maybe just a cryptic "You get used to it".
I feel pretty bad for Harry in panel 4. It's really not ok to tease someone who's just pulled such big scab off.
Yeah same. It's a fun trope and all, and probably good in the long run, but confronting emotions can be... difficult.
I suppose Nyree's earned a little fun for all she's done for her, though!
Yikes! You're sending me back now when I'm all open and undefended?
Hey at least your head should be feeling lighter, shorter-haired Harry!
I'm going to miss Nyree, she's been fun.
ya know - coming out of the witch door in front of a graduation of wizards....that may tend to mark you as a witch. Just saying.
Luckily, whatever trap the bad guys have for the Witch of Widdershins will probably be about as effective on her as locking "Harry" Ben "Barber" the totally not a wizard in a freezer :P
Ahahaha, I just realized that's where it's going to dump her.
I am so looking forward to the whole house of cards this chapter's been building up collapsing at once. :D
She's gonna pop out like one second before Sid can confess to his parents.
Eh feck, you right!
You forget that Jack will need to open the door for her to come through! The knocking in his head has to be Nyree banging on his door to get him to open it. So everyone will know Jack is the Widdershins witch and Harry is either another witch, or someone super important and powerful.
"Did I do thaaaat?"
Oh my god so many things are about to happen at once I can't wait
Hrngh.
Now if Harry hugs Sid the moment she sees him, what will he do?
A) Be confused
B) Outright panic
C) Reciprocate the hug
D) Break into a long and confused wall of text about how he loves her too but he didn't want to make her feel bad by telling her so before and hopes she wants to marry him because he really wants to marry her and oh mom and dad this is my bo- I mean, fiancee Harry Barber and Harry these are my mom and dad and they're really confused about what I've been doing since I wasn't finishing school and they're really angry so can you get me out of here and you really need a bath and I shouldn't have said tha...
Harry: Shut up, my love.
I think that falls under B...
Definitely B, probably will include some or all of D as noted below in JWLM's post.
Panel 5: "just how do I throw Sid over my shoulder and ride off with him?"
"Crap, he's so tall his toes and hands will just drag..."
And suddenly Harriet wants to take a bit more time before heading home, haha.
Nyree: "Always nice to see a little more love out in the world."
Harry: < look of deep worry >
Hmmm....if the door's there, does that mean the anchor is beneath the tree?
Ah you know part of me suspects Nyree could have un-rata'ed the door any time she liked... and it was just a pretext to get Harry to face her magically manifesting personal issues. 🤔
