    That makes sense, but I’ve got Colonel Armstrong as the default voice in my head.

    I've been hearing him as Gosetsu from FFXIV, but it's the same family of voice. Muscle Grandpa instead of Muscle Uncle.

    Alfie sadly has the two dick lamia
    Still if they were that kind of snake they would be the size of vipers with doll sized human parts
    Boa constrictors biology is probably how lamia would be like if real or viper sized

    This is a criticism I’ve been holdin back on this series, mostly because it felt like punchin down while it’s been doing it’s narrative setup. Thankfully this seems to be the rock bottom for this character and we’re gonna start to see an upswing, so I feel more comfortable saying this....

    But BOI Daniel is such a giant unlikeable piece of shit. I mean I know that’s on purpose, but goddamn this child has no redeeming qualities as a protagonist, and that was BEFORE he lost his soul.

    The art is good, the world building is solid, the supporting cast is alright and you WANT to know more, Daniel spent so much time as an insufferable childbaby that it’s gonna take a LOT to not subconsciously roll my eyes whenever he’s on screen.

    Yeah, I have trouble reading this for the same reason. At this point I'm just waiting for it to start doing mean shit to the supporting cast so I can completely write it off.

    undivine's daniel is colossally rude and hostile to everyone trying to help him, but that seems to be part of the intended character arc

    one thing that warps undivine, though: for all the casual ultraviolence the stakes are so darned low

    daniel's primary motivation seems to be teenager resentment of the thankless social role of being a model student and nominal leader, but not having the social grease to actually manage all the work (because nobody wants to help him and those that try are brushed off rudely in some vaguely self-destructive drive)

    the comic itself seems aware that this seems disproportionate to, you know, the cosmic struggle between the divine forces of heaven and hell

    redeeming a cute jerk is a storied bodice ripper trope - the transformative power of loooove and all - but "how much of a jerk?? EVEN ANGELS AND DEMONS ARE IN AWE OF HIS JERKDOM, HE'S JUST SO RUDE TO HIS CLASSMATES, YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH" is perhaps tonally tricky

    That's why I use paypal which is certainly not owned by a billionaire vampire.

    PayPal would never hold on to money on shaky legal grounds for years in order to profit off the interest.

    Certainly not.

    Personally I like paypal back when it was part of ebay. venmo is meh to me as I see so few asking for it compared to the long list of questionable ones
    But things like cashapp seems really iffy but then it's a slippy slide past that of other online payment ways

    I've used Cash app for a couple years now. Its by Square. I've never had a problem with them.

    Not so divine from what I picked up reading through what there is currently. Esther even says very early on nobody goes anywhere when they die and Daniel just completely misses that response. Plus how angels and demons aren't dissimilar in that they're both capable of devouring each other to consume souls. If anything Daniel may just embody the essence of a human in that he is anathema to both angels and demons, soul or not. Esther even says there were more people like him "before" when she was working with Divinidad to do...something. Who's to say that maybe the whole religion thing is to keep humans subservient rather than realizing they have the capability to devour gods?
