A Slice of Humble Pie pg12
Hazzah! The last page of this chapter!
I'm loving all the comments about Fluffwiena and her character arc. Thank you so much for a wonderful discussion from all of you.
Sorry for not posting last week. Life kept interrupting. Sometimes for bad, but sometimes for good too. Bad part was my allergies really kicked into high gear and there were a few days I just could not get out of bed. This is, unfortunately, is kind of common for me this time of year. Good part is that my Brother, who I have not seen in the flesh for a couple of years, dropped by one day and we spent the day catching up. It was great to see him again.
Anyways - this will be the only posting for this week as I set up for the next chapter, then it's back to the typical Tuesday-Thrusday schedule with a little luck! Enjoy!
Well we like Fluffy in some perverse emotionally masochistic way.
And May touches on something we’re all thinking
“Should I be happy or scared to see your old self?”
We have enjoyed seeing the Princess show that she has the potential to be more than the spoiled child and as such, look forward to seeing if she can continue to grow and live up to that potential.
Sorry though to hear that the ol’ allergies have been making life a bit of a drag but alternately happy that you have had the chance to catch up with family, even if only for the day….. as great as modern communication is, nothing beats being able to experience one another’s presence in the same room.
Before, Fluffy always struck me as the vapid, useless aristocrat.
Now, I see why you portrayed her that way – So that when she came into herself, it was all the more dramatic. Well done.
I think the difference is that she was always told she was Important, and she took it at face value for all the trappings and perks and pretty dresses and nice balls and all such fluffy(1) surface enjoyments. Now she realises what Importance she has – for _others_. A good ruler does things for their subject, not for themselves.
Just finished a full archive-dive, from the depths of page 1 up to the surface of the front page. Quite a story, I was reaching for tissues the entire time. Mostly because I happen to be coming down with a cold at the moment…
Also, regarding the chapter “Counting Heads.” You may wish to adjust the dates for those pages. Whilst the archive drop-down and “next chapter” & “previous chapter” buttons properly place it before the events of “Homecoming” and “The Hidden Passage,” if you are reading through the archives by simply hitting “next page” repeatedly, it will not display until several chapters later, when you originally found and uploaded it.
just super awesome! I love to see fluffy get some of her fighting sprite back. Just a lovely comic so far that I’ve read! please keep up the great work ^_^
I have to agree with the others, excellent job of character development. she is most definitely still Fluffy but has had a couple of serious adjustments to her world view…. as empress that she was not as important as she thought herself to be… and just now that she is more important that she was taught then. now hopefully she can have a healthier thought process.
on a completely different note it looks to me like dukies tail is heading between his legs…
