Order Of The Stick-Related Things I Feel Guilty About

  • I am kind of inexplicably crushing on Vaarsuvius, after the dragon arc. Come on, self, get over the antiheroic-bishie-trying-to-be-a-better-person thing already. (I don't have a antiheroic-woman-trying-to-be-a-better-person thing because the characters in that category are few, but I would if there were more of them, and I certainly adore Lightning Farron. Anyway, the crush stands regardless of V's gender.) I also really feel pretty sorry for V, but separate issue.
  • All that stuff about Redcloak, and his new fondness for the goblins, and turning Azure City into a new homeland for them? I shouldn't find it inspiring. I shouldn't. But I do. And I kind of want the goblins to keep their new city.
  • Productivity has significantly decreased since I discovered it. Only about a hundred strips and then the binge will be over and I'll be done, though.
  • Therkla and her utter lack of characterization beyond 'ostracized a bit' and 'head-over-heels, inexplicably, for Elan' - and yet That Strip still made me sniffle. Darn it.
  • I am amused by Belkar. Then again, I hang out with people who are practically the anthropomorphic personifications of black comedy, so I should probably just accept that I find such comedy amusing.

Order of the Stick is awesomesauce and I only wish it updated more regularly/frequently. Also, Belkar is totally my favorite sexy shoeless god of war ever. <3

At the moment, the update schedule is sort of encouraging - if it updated daily, I would be worrying about never catching up. I suspect once I'm on track with the rest of the world I'll feel differently, though.

I've got to go back and archive binge again soon. I miss having comics to look forward to as soon as I have the time.

You should never feel guilty about Order of the Stick. It is awesome.

V is cool. For some reason, I especially like V and Elan friendship moments. I don't really know why.

I've gotten so far behind on this comic, I have to archive binge.

I don't feel guilty for Order of the Stick itself. It's just these reactions that make me eye myself suspiciously (a difficult feat).

And enjoy the binge! Where were you?

Well, I stopped a little after their trail by the paladins and they were found not guilty.

Trial by the paladins? Wow, that's a long way back. (Also before the reason I feel so guilty over the V crush.)

Yeah, school got in the way for a while.

I've heard about the V incident; but I can't really comment on it since I haven't read it.
