Well, there's Erin.
The ultimate form of wincest.

I approve.
Isnt it technically uhh.. Self gratification? Not Incest.
It's not self gratification, because while the same person, they exist somewhat separately.
I would say it was on the grounds that it is the same person.. But we could always meet halfway and agree that its both <_<...

tbh I begin to wonder why this even came up.

Good, go all Kratonic on is his ass, Erin! And good on you for realizing that turning to white knight figures to try and circumvent the problem doesn't help solve it. With the power of two Erin combined, and the tactical tutorage of a tag-team of titanic characters, nothing can stop you!

Also, love the bit at the end about young Erin's views on boys.

Incidentally, sure is a lot of "talk to your kid self" stuff on the internet this week.

Well, I think this is going pretty well. Aside from all the mortal danger obviously.
I can't believe nobody is asking what happend to Erin's mom.

I love this storyline and the word 'chode' xD I want to see what happens the 'meanwhiles' are getting frustrating lol.

I liked your disclaimer. It was nice of you to add that. It can very much contribute to depression when people tell you to get over it.

I have struggled with clinical depression for a long time and it turns out I have actually got something seriously physically wrong with me too (that can worsen mental symptoms) that I have had from when I was teen. So people who told me I was faker and lazy and to get over it feel a bit stupid now I'll bet...

The last time I saw my inner child I was in a dream chasing her around a high tech skyscraper in which various experiments were being conducted. Not entirely sure what that means...
Two things. 1. What is a "chode"? It sounds familiar...

2. Your dream is interesting. I guess you could say that it may reflect you trying (subconsciously or consciously) to remain in contact with your inner child (generally a time of happiness and innocence) in a world where technology is overtaking much of the world, including your own life....... Or maybe you ate something weird/had to much pizza/candy/something before bed. There really is no way to know (at least right now), with 100% certainty, what that could all mean. So take that interpretation for what it is. Just an interpretation.

Also, the people telling you to just get over your depression were ignorant. The terrible thing about mental illness treatment is that, while we have come a LONG way from just putting a hole in the head of the patient (Trepanning), most of the time when the illness is bad enough that medication/psychological treatment exercises arn't showing any progress, there is very little that can be done, and that is very disheartening for the doctor&especially the patient.

Sometimes we just don't have the means to effectively treat an illness, and nothing can be done by the doctors or patients. This is true in both physical and mental health. However, I like to think that we get more victories than defeats, and with technology advancing we may soon be able to do so much more than we are currently able to help people with illnesses. I mean can you imagine going back just 100 or 50 years, and saying that some people with certain illnesses could gain an improved quality of life if we removed half their brain? Anyone that would ever do that would probably get laughed out of all medical fields.

OH LAWD.

Now, we just need Zoe Castillo to show up, and the transformation will be complete.

Thank you Cory and Grey for the caveat at the end of the comic.

Instead of punching them in the tits, you could educate them.... A thought....

Just because you don't bone a barely-conscious woman doesn't mean you're a nice guy. It just means you're not a rapist. I would never take advantage of a drunk girl (unless we're both drunk, in which case she's taking as much advantage of me as I am of her), but that doesn't make me a nice guy. During a debate I can be quite a prick, like that time I bullied a grown man into admitting he doesn't understand simple math.

But yes, in spite of the points I just made, I agree with you. This guy was established as a nice dude who only had the best of intentions towards Erin, and now they're ragging on him. I don't think that's right. Don't get the audience completely on his side and then out of nowhere tell us he's the enemy now. I hope that's not the author's long-term intent here.
I don't think little Erin's gripe is that Tris is a bad guy. I can think of two reasons why she's shitting on him: Either she doesn't like that he's trying to scare Erin into someone she knows she's not (tolerable) and would rather her keep being untolerable than a liar OR she doesn't like that he's trying to help her and fix a problem for her that Erin can solve herself by being Erin.

Either way, I too don't really buy that he's a chode either. Or if he is, Erin was being the bigger one.

"Just like mom"? I don't recall it ever being implied that Erin's family had a history of mental illness. I had thought this was all the result of the accident. Interesting. Also, Kid Erin is so full of win.

Well, in Kid Erin's defense, he did shove Erin out a window. That is pretty bad. I don't care how good your intentions are, when you place a person's life in danger to make a point, you're going a bit too far.

That being said, I think this is supposed to be misdirected anger. Kid Erin just told Erin that this guy is her enemy. You've never known a person to get angry at someone else, claiming they were harming them or in the wrong, when it wasn't true?

Nobody in this comic knows how to deal with crazy people. Guy and Inner Erin both have good intentions that will pave their way to hell.

By the way, if you want the right to be physically violent to random people, random people have the right to hang you upside down of a window.

A chode is a penis that's wider than it is longer. At least that's the definition I've been given.

I'm a little rusty on my Longest Journey lore, but you're suggesting that Erin can take control of electronic devices the same way Faith was able to in Dreamfall.

Well he IS a virtual stranger who has taken it upon himself to stage a freakin' intervention (and one that can possibly end with him dropping her a couple of stories onto concrete if his arms get tired). That takes the mindset of thinking you know what's right for a stranger, and being so sure of it you'd put their life in peril.

Taken from that perspective that guy is kinda a self righteous dick.
on the other hand, he IS doing it to help her, albeit through misguided methods and/or motivations, his intention is benevolent.

Yay!

I must confess, I never played The Longest Journey, but Dreamfall remains one of my favorite games.
I'm still bitter that there was no closure at the end, and there doesn't appear to be a sequel anywhere on the horizon.
Tornquist statet, that he want/will work on a sequel, when The Secret World is released. (which it is now!) and play the prequel! Dreamfall without TLJ is like chess without the white party.

And what's ahead? That's too early to say, but rest assured that I haven't, and will not, leave The Longest Journey and Dreamfall fans in the dark forever. Chapters is going to happen, and hopefully this year you'll know when and how.
