Lampshade Hanging is a writers’ trick of dealing with any element of the story that threatens the audience’s Willing Suspension of Disbelief, whether a very implausible plot development, or a particularly blatant use of a trope, by calling attention to it and simply moving on. In this case, we’re being told that either the Witch of the Mountain can’t use Comet’s deadname either because she’s currently a part of Comet or because Comet actually can use some form of latent magic to prevent others from addressing him by his former name. Up until this point the reader is to believe that his birth name is scratched out because he is telling the story in retrospect, but that apparently isn’t the case.
Dang looks like I’m here for plot now
Damn dis is side tracking my horny but I’m still here to find out more
Came here for porn. Now I’m waiting for the next part of this. Just like Highschool DXD.
The inclusion of trans-masc bottoms here is refreshing.
I dont care if there’s no actual porn (yet) but this comic is fucking bad ass and I love it.
Bruh that art style is dope as fuck
Only silver lining I can think of is that now they have a biologically male body.
what
I like the author’s use of lampshade hanging when it comes to deadname censoring. “What kind of hillbilly backwoods bullshit witchery is that?”
i have no clue what you meant by those terms but i agree that this comic is fucking amazing
edit-ish: i think comets real name is Bridget, it could be something else more significant to the story but that’s by head cannon for now
