The Knight

[Fappy]

If he's Link, how was he able to talk? Ot at least, talk without saying, "Excuuuuuse me, Princess"?

At least he didn't invite her to dinner for some octorocks.

 

[Farther than stars]

How did a hallucination dangle someone out of a window by their feet?

I'm going for the "Fight Club" theory of external perception of one's self. In theory, she was never dangling out of the window in the first place.

 

[RainingCobalt]

... Link's favourite video game character is Bubsy.

...

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Well that was neat. Not much more to say. Can't wait to see what happens next.

 

[PunkRex]

I don't want to be THAT GUY but erm... I guessed it was Link.

Still a great arc though, particully liked the 'come out swinging' part.

Meanwhile in Hyrule:

Little Girl Erin did say she was "going back in" so if I had to guess they were temporarily real, especially since they were interacting without Erin being there

 

[Bloodtrozorx]

Soooo did all those people in the bar see Erin sitting there hitting on herself and drinking imaginary beers that Link bought? That must have been hilarious.

I'm reminded of the ME3 ending slightly:

Nothing makes sense.

I'm left with more questions than answers in what was supposedly the conclusion.

Because it's not really a conclusion like that, it ended a story arc, but the overall arc is still going on.

 

[Piecewise]

Wait what?

So...how was a hallucination holding her out a window?

And how were they talking when she was out of the room?

Is this implying that her hallucinations are some how corporeal entities in and of themselves?

What, is she god or something? Summoning phantoms from her subconscious into physical form?

Also, since she's just imagining all this or something, it renders the entire thing equal to "It was all a dream" sequences.

And the only character development we got out of it is that she's a complete psychopath that seems to have a pathological need to punch people in the face to get what she wants.




It's still not as bad as CAD, but god damn it you're trying.

Hopefully nothing. I hope he just takes the spot Lee Lee left open for practice writing out a thematically coherent plot with deep and meaningful characters. Lord knows he could certainly use it. =/

Oh come now. Buck up bud. It wasn't all bad. Surely it was interesting enough to get us all to keep watching. As for your questions above;
1. Most of the holding her out the window stuff was probably just in her head. Like when she was in little Erin's game room.

2. Yeah, it would seem that it was all little Erin's plan.

3. What was the point? Like the little one said, to make Erin stop being all woe is me, and actively do something about it her way. Head on, with some fists and what not.

As for why all that wasn't said so directly....Well, 1. you can only have so much said at one time in a web comic without it ending up sounding over written, and 2. The only other way is to make the arc even longer to make room for it all, and I don't think many people would like either.

Besides, it's over now, right?

 

[Weaver]

So was it imaginary and she wasn't actually being dangled out of the window, or are her hallucinations able to physically manifest themselves?

Well aren't we at least supposed to know something? As far as I can tell at this point, part of her mind just went rogue and is now proactively trying to fuck with her. And if that is indeed all I was supposed to take from this, then great, did we really need to set this up over three months?

We know she wants to get better now, beyond that I have no idea

 

[Mike Fang]

Ooookay, this raises all sorts of plot hole questions. Such as, how did Erin hang herself out of a window if "Link" was just another hallucination? Was -that- a hallucination? If so, where was Erin in reality, passed out on the floor of the empty apartment? How is she not aware of the conflict/collaboration going on between the voices in her head and her "inner child"? How do the voices and inner child hang around when she's not nearby?

That aside, frankly I don't get what sort of revelation this is supposed to be for Erin. She got drunk 'cause she was feeling depressed about lashing out at her room mate and coworker both emotionally and physically. So her inner child reminds her of her philosophy that there's no problem she can't handle by charging it head on with aggression, so...she solves her problem with "Link" by getting violent AGAIN. Not exactly a huge epiphany for her, I'd say.

 

[Rijor]

All I have to point to...

'Dude, I've been rubbing the fuck out of your leg for, like, the past 10 minutes! Wait, that's my leg...'

Makes so much sense now!

 

[Bloodstain]

There's a twist in the tale! Nice. Good job.


And I approve of the Fight Club reference.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

But wait if this guy is Link then what actually happened back at that bar fight?

All I have to point to...

'Dude, I've been rubbing the fuck out of your leg for, like, the past 10 minutes! Wait, that's my leg...'

Makes so much sense now!

My mind has been blown.

 

[Doclector]

So, does that mean we won't see more of Mini Erin/Toph?

>About the whole reveal shibang.
<youtube=kdhhQhqi_AE>

Gah, beat me to it.

The hallucinations are having hallucinations which the hallucinator is also having.

My mind is full of fuck. Still, pretty good ending to the arc.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

I saw it coming, but still, if he's only a figment of her imagination, how did he hold her off the edge of the window? He's not there, so that didn't happen?

 

[Yopaz]

If more people had watched Fight Club there would be a lot less confusion here. Yeah, this is a mindfuck, but it's pretty much a Fight Club reference.
