While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. ๐
This has been your regular reminder that every single data dump we’ve gotten at any point in this strip should really come with a bright neon “UNRELIABLE NARRATOR” warning sign.
Whether it’s memory issues, limited perspectives, “or so I heard”, or flat out shading the truth, it’s entirely possible that nothing we’ve been told so far is 100% accurate, and our poor protagonists are having to put the puzzle pieces together while at the same time trying to avert the end of the world.
Nina the Questioner is the closest thing you’re gonna get to a reliable narrator. Her exposure to Kobalt left her with a side effect, a literal aversion to deceit.
That’ll be good to know once we meet her. (I don’t think we’ve met her yet, unless it’s yet another name for Nin-Banda)
(JFTR, I am thoroughly enjoying reading this as it unfolds and occasionally just archive binging the whole thing just to recast everything in the light of later developments.)
It’s been staring me in the face for years and I may have my continuity wrong too…but.
With Demuzi we seem to have a Holy Trinity parallel. There’s the Father, the Demuzi who ascended, the Son, the Earthly Demuzi who sometimes talks to people. Or maybe he’s the Holy Spirit?
And it looks like the Holy Spirit (or perhaps the Son) is in revolt.
There are Catholic theologians that suggest that Catholic theology be realigned to raise Christ’s mother Mary to a 4th aspect of the Godhead, which would correspond to Adah.
Apropos of nothing, having established that Adah has exhausted her supply of ova, it might fit the quadrafecta for her to turn up pregnant.

I will tell you this, Rens… (spoiler)

He could be the Son/Holy Spirit and the Demuzi in rebellion would conform to the archangel Lucifer, aka Satan.
