After being away for a while, I checked this tab again. Whoa, it's up to page 619?! There must have been an update!

So I check the threadmarks, and...!

Nope. No updates.

Only longing and heartache.

I then come here, to page 619, to investigate. But all there is in these distant reaches is a terrible, desolate wasteland.

I wander, and find only shrill and distant squealing, the mindless gibbering of the damned and dimmed, and some kind of incomprehensible ravings regarding bedding.

Truly, this is the most disappointing day.

Well there's ~18k of omake since the last update so idk whats so bad.

Familiar - Quilted Terror! (aka Q.T)
That might make a good scene break in the show, Coke Zero is getting down about whatever troubles a generic MC and all of a sudden, QUILT!

Got bored and decided to do a bit of proofreading. Probably missed a lot of stuff, and I don't remember if anyone already did this, but meh.

Edit: Proofreading is hard.

Edit #2: Semicolons are the best punctuation marks ever.

Edit #3: Finally done. Total time: 1 hour, 24 minutes. Going to eat something now. I have greatly underestimated the fortitude of internet proofreaders.

Edit #4: some suggested semicolons may be replaced with em dashes instead.

Em dashes are. *proofreader mortal combat initiated*
the Best punctuation is the Period. Because it is the most basic and essential of all punctuation. All other punctuation can be replaced by context clues and word choice. The Period alone is essential and irreplaceable in function.(unless it's a telegraph but no one wants to put "STOP" and the end of every sentence.

You know how supervillains hate getting captured by annoying, snarky superheroes like Spiderman?

Supervillains love getting caught by the Quited Terror. She's just so fluffy. She'll restrain you with minimal force, and you can just fall asleep on her arms while she carries you to jail, it's 100% comfy. Would get captured again.

... ... ...I confuse myself sometimes... was that intended as a joke or serious...


I dunno!

I do know why I wrote it though, PotatoesOfDoom wrote about best punctuation and then Bludflag riposted with theirs so then I did that too.
But the semicolon is a period...with a comma underneath it! Take that!
 
The question mark is even better than the period STOP While there are ways to indicate questions without it none are so succinct and clear in their interrogative intent STOP
 
People were suggesting theme songs for Anna a couple pages back, so let me put one out there:

Blumenkrantz.

It's got a very melancholy feel once you hit the vocals and has appropriate lyrics like:
"I want to become stronger
because our world is very cruel"
and
"What do you want from me?
I might not want to, but I must pursue the enemy
I am not free from this world"
and
"You bind a flower wreath
Why do you look so sad?"

Those last two in particular fit our last update and her conversation with Sandra.

Blumenkrantz in the very unlikely case you haven't heard it:
