That could make a certain amount of sense. From SepiaWorld’s perspective, Arkerra is an online game… it’s possible that other elements from the Internet with enough traction have ‘bled over’ into Arkerra. Or, alternatively, they became popular on the Internet because the bled over into the Internet from Arkerra in the first place…
Defy them Frigg! You ARE the Spirit of Defiance! You made your own path when you joined the the Core Group! Defy them of their attempt to sidetrack you! Your Will is above Theirs, as you have already proven!
Well, she was angry at ChaosWolf largely because ChaosWolf refused to give answers. If these ones talk, she might be willing to ask questions first and glowy hammershit second (or not at all).
Well, now that it has been established that these are meme gods, we all know it was Insanity Wolf that was following her about. I mean, looking back it’s absolutely obvious from his constant expression
Is it just me or are all of those guys memes? Raptor Jesus on the right, Long cat and ceiling cat I think. Anyone else see this. The old gods are the internet’s old memes.
The gray one’s got me confused as well. I see nothing recognizable in it, and curiously, it’s the only one of the six that doesn’t have an obvious, divinely sparkling pair of eyes.
I remember a game I played in. Super-tech alien species figured out how to create living art that embodied concepts perfectly. First one they made, officially? The spirit of Rebellion. yeah. they aren’t around any more. Thankfully, in the game, Rebellion is on earth, and we’re being invaded. by, like, EVERYONE. XD Rebellion accepts that the piddly governments of earth aren’t worth the time, compared to the opportunity to beat on several dozen stellar governments.
That’s one way to look at it. Personally, I’d prefer to absorb the powers of an admired figure through mentorship.
But a forceful extraction of powers through combat? There are a lot of people who are good at the technical aspects of a trade, but use it for things like… making porn of cartoon characters I liked as a child or… developing phone games. I think I could do better with those powers.
Kewl Yeah the cat god the no face goddess the almighty green flat head the red glowing bag (is that one of the aqua teen hunger force?) and the dinosaur. Bearing in mind that this is an interactive online vid game played by in real time by sepiazoners, does this mean that Frigg,s human has one completed the level or whatever?
If that sounds critical, let me remind everbody i love the fuck outa this strips.It makes my day three times week. Can hardly wait for the next instllment.
I’m reading more Longcat, Tacgnol, ???, Pepe/Kek, ??? (the old red ragefaces? y so angry, gods?), and Raptor Jesus. With Frigg replacing Insanity Wolf.
So….as a god of Arkana, can she resurrect the lost character Rachel from the impact it has made on the game? Honestly I think her best response is a giant god rending FU. After which she captures Best and fucks him to death. There by he saves the world from Frigging Rage.
**miaow** YESSS, you killed the doggie, PUrrrfect! Now I, whitecat, and my sister blackcat – we can shred eternity’s drapes with impunity forever! That is the real reason we offer you godhood! Besides, the newbie has to deal with our litter boxes.
I see… memes. God cat, basement cat, Pepe is the sad frog, philosoraptor. Frigg just diced insanity wolf. Are they old gods because they are reflections from the internet. Their images propagated as far as any real world parallel. Are they from the internet spawned by the players, remnants created the messed up memories of the Tube Players? If they are reflections of what Frigg valued in their pastlife does that mean she was a 4 Chan style memelord? Angry, Crude, Blunt, Defiant. Call me crazy but it fits.
Well Frig, you now have six more chances to accidentally fail to get answers through deicide. Movin’ up! May as well go for the full pantheon apotheosis.
seeing yourself as a god and or calling yourself a god doesn’t make you a god. I doesn’t matter he made this world he made a full world w/ gods and mortals. this makes him the mater programmer.. not a god.
Apparently I haven’t spent enough time on the web over the last 15 years. One man’s meme is my “Well, those guys are interesting looking but they don’t otherwise mean squat to me.” Even the other comments are beyond me.
No big deal. I get the impression these references aren’t necessary to my enjoying the ride. I just have this thing about memes not being as wide-spread or pervasive as sometimes assumed.
I think the best way to be further defiant would be to jump down the cliff and use divine healing to forcibly bring the wolf god back to life. Show him what he gets for trying to slack off and trick someone else to into doing his job for him.
Huh… Well, at least if some crazed 1980’s, dressed in bubble wrap, semievil goddess (Gozer) asks if Frigg is a God, she can honestly say, “Yes, you ethereal five-year!!!”
Join the establishment? Suuuure…
The Pantheon of Meme Gods.
That could make a certain amount of sense. From SepiaWorld’s perspective, Arkerra is an online game… it’s possible that other elements from the Internet with enough traction have ‘bled over’ into Arkerra. Or, alternatively, they became popular on the Internet because the bled over into the Internet from Arkerra in the first place…
The parts of Real-Life-Frigg we saw, if I remember correctly, she *was* a meme-whore.
Oh dear Meme Gods… what have we done? WHAT HAVE DONE!?! We placed Frigg in mortal danger!
Frigg… stay alert! Someone… someTHING… lurks in the darkness…
…wut
*whispers* There’s a assassin vine-ripe tomato near you.
…wut??
Defy them Frigg! You ARE the Spirit of Defiance! You made your own path when you joined the the Core Group! Defy them of their attempt to sidetrack you! Your Will is above Theirs, as you have already proven!
I know that look. Her brain just had a BSOD.
To me, it feels more like “moar targets”.
Well, she was angry at ChaosWolf largely because ChaosWolf refused to give answers. If these ones talk, she might be willing to ask questions first and glowy hammershit second (or not at all).
Well, now that it has been established that these are meme gods, we all know it was Insanity Wolf that was following her about. I mean, looking back it’s absolutely obvious from his constant expression
I think this may be the first time Frigg has been at a loss for words.
“Her brain just had a BSOD.”
And even more shocking, here mouth had a BSOD too.
Well, now we know where Frigg is. She’s in the Ascend of Nowhere.
The Ascend? I thought that was beyond the outer fringes of the galaxy.
Isn’t that somewhere in Egypt? Little town, can’t quite remember the name…
You mean Bumfukt? But she should just bum-Frigg them all & get back to what she wanted to do.
Is it just me or are all of those guys memes? Raptor Jesus on the right, Long cat and ceiling cat I think. Anyone else see this. The old gods are the internet’s old memes.
I don’t think it’s Ceiling Cat. Pretty sure the white one is Longcat and the black one is Tacgnol
Don’t forget Pepe
I kind of assumed Tectonicus up there was supposed to be the Angry Video Game Nerd…
Nah, I think that’s just good ol’ original Rage Comic Face.
It’s the gray one I haven’t figured out… is he looking down, and that’s hair rather than face? If so, it’s distinctly not a bird so I’m still lost…
The gray one’s got me confused as well. I see nothing recognizable in it, and curiously, it’s the only one of the six that doesn’t have an obvious, divinely sparkling pair of eyes.
I would guess that the gray one is Horryfying House-guest, also known as Shadowlurker.
Maybe Slenderman?
The grey appear to have a swirly nothingness for the head and showing “her” shoulders and cleavage like a woman leaning forward toward a camera.
I’m seeing someone with their head down and an open coat.
I was thinking Rickroll, but I watched the video and I don’t think it matches.
I thought of Philosoraptor before Raptor Jesus (is my lord, but maybe they’re one and the same, just before and after Velocirapture.
Huh, I’ve always thought Raptor Jesus was a monotheistic deity. The more you know.
And all this time I thought christians were waiting for the Rapture!
These days, he shows up periodically on the internet dispensing wisdom as the Philosoraptor.
Clever girl.
There are not enough middle fingers in the world to express Frigg’s response to this offer.
“Ah, but that’s what the deity of defiance and independence WOULD do! Yes Frigg, you are doing just fine, continue!”
“I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!”
“Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.”
“What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!”
“He is! He is the Messiah!”
Did you really try to hire someone whose job is ‘defiance?’
Nevermind the day she quits, she’ll take a dump on the boss’s desk the -first- day.
If Frigg accepts the job, wouldn’t she immediately be fired for not being defiant?
Which is why she’s going to get the job, by saying no. Or Frigg’s equivalent.
Speaking of holy shit moments…
Holy shit … -posting.
Just like “denial” is not just a river in Egypt,
“De-fiancee” is not just what you call the person you’re engaged to.
… like a boss.
I remember a game I played in. Super-tech alien species figured out how to create living art that embodied concepts perfectly. First one they made, officially? The spirit of Rebellion. yeah. they aren’t around any more. Thankfully, in the game, Rebellion is on earth, and we’re being invaded. by, like, EVERYONE. XD Rebellion accepts that the piddly governments of earth aren’t worth the time, compared to the opportunity to beat on several dozen stellar governments.
Can you actually refuse someone when they try to hire you for defiance? When you say no, isn’t that exactly what they want you to do?
Somehow… I can’t imagine the “God of Defiance” accepting.
Dang @ Peter David slam. Read a lot of his stuff, liked almost all of it… =/
It is no slam! I’m saying if it were possible to defeat him and absorb his power, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
That’s one way to look at it. Personally, I’d prefer to absorb the powers of an admired figure through mentorship.
But a forceful extraction of powers through combat? There are a lot of people who are good at the technical aspects of a trade, but use it for things like… making porn of cartoon characters I liked as a child or… developing phone games. I think I could do better with those powers.
Y’know, that interpretation should have occurred to me. Whoops. XD
Kewl Yeah the cat god the no face goddess the almighty green flat head the red glowing bag (is that one of the aqua teen hunger force?) and the dinosaur. Bearing in mind that this is an interactive online vid game played by in real time by sepiazoners, does this mean that Frigg,s human has one completed the level or whatever?
If that sounds critical, let me remind everbody i love the fuck outa this strips.It makes my day three times week. Can hardly wait for the next instllment.
Wow five gods? Sounds Discordian.
Six gods. That white blur is a lengthy feline.
Lengthy feline is leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeengthy.
Seven, if you include the wolf god. Er. Frigg.
…I don’t think that was meant as a pun, but Frigg’s name works rather well as a curse.
I’m reasonably confident that was meant as a pun from the very beginning.
The battle of darkness and light spans across endless longcats.
…I’m beginning to wonder if 4chan is the missing piece of biblical scripture.
That central green figure just might be Pepe.
Yeah well, far right is clearly Philosoraptor
Makes sense that cats would have disproportionate representation in any pantheon.
methinks the original idea behind the name was that she could not name her character “fuck” because of Arkerra’s system
LOLcat, Slenderman, Kek (the egyptian frog god of dorkness), Thwomp and Raptor Jesus/Yoshi?
What a frigg’d up pantheon.
(Well, it makes sense, this being an Internet-based universe and all)
The wolf god is still there.
They did say ‘the empty place’, which suggests he’s not.
I’m reading more Longcat, Tacgnol, ???, Pepe/Kek, ??? (the old red ragefaces? y so angry, gods?), and Raptor Jesus. With Frigg replacing Insanity Wolf.

Let’s not forget I’m like 80% sure that’s Philosoraptor on the right hand side.
Really, Peter David? Not Steven Hawking?
Have you read X-Factor?
Huh. Deifriggcation.
I see… memes. God cat, basement cat, Pepe is the sad frog, philosoraptor. Frigg just diced insanity wolf. Are they old gods because they are reflections from the internet. Their images propagated as far as any real world parallel. Are they from the internet spawned by the players, remnants created the messed up memories of the Tube Players?

hmm… one can’t help but wonder if one of those cats is a god of… Karma…
Do you suspect Frigg is a bringer of Karmageddon?
or at least Madam Arfa’s vision of it.
Well Frig, you now have six more chances to accidentally fail to get answers through deicide. Movin’ up! May as well go for the full pantheon apotheosis.
one of 3 things happens now. the fastest FU in history, a freakout followed by the fastest FU in history or she get pissed and kills all of them.
I just thought as I hit the post button that if its the 3rd one frig will invent monotheism for this world. because she will be the only god left.
HR might contest that statement. A smidge ironic, considering your current gravatar.
seeing yourself as a god and or calling yourself a god doesn’t make you a god. I doesn’t matter he made this world he made a full world w/ gods and mortals. this makes him the mater programmer.. not a god.
This all makes so much sense!
Frig SHOULD be a meme!
So, what will the consequences be when Frigg kills all the old gods? (Including, it looks like, mr. Lavaface-TrollGod-whose-name-I-can’t-remember.)
Tectonicus, who has a tag, and doesn’t look like anyone here. He’s got a bunch of smaller eyes, horns, and a mad grin.
Fucking Signers, man, I swear.
Apparently I haven’t spent enough time on the web over the last 15 years. One man’s meme is my “Well, those guys are interesting looking but they don’t otherwise mean squat to me.” Even the other comments are beyond me.
No big deal. I get the impression these references aren’t necessary to my enjoying the ride. I just have this thing about memes not being as wide-spread or pervasive as sometimes assumed.
Same here. I only recognize red-bag-face as being this FUUUUUUU face. Might be wrong, though.
Frig be all like “Fuuuuuuuuuuck thaaaatttt shiiiiiiit!” And goes all glowy hammer/sword shit on their FACES!
Hmm, this takes me back to Demon God Dumplin.
Frigg’s Fuckbox knows no limits. Just ask Payet Best
I’m picturing Angry Red Cube god just, like, CONSTANTLY screaming in different disturbing ways XD
And your fate is to be alone with a bunch of Memes in your head.
Way to go! #selfreflection
The sad thing is, a lot of people would be fine with that.
Actually, the sad thing is people think memes are funny to begin with, but the first thing is *really* sad.
“Can I use this god power to bring back Rachel?”
“Hmmm…” *rustles through battered old binder* “…No, sorry.”
“You’re all so fucking dead.”
I think the green deity is Duckface, actually.
I think the best way to be further defiant would be to jump down the cliff and use divine healing to forcibly bring the wolf god back to life. Show him what he gets for trying to slack off and trick someone else to into doing his job for him.
I approve of this response, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!
Heh. That would definitely be defiant and outside of the box thinking. I like it.
But Frigg prefers to think *inside* the box…Her own, that is.
“whatever. Fuck it. FINE!”
Still taking bets what her next words will be.
And no, it will not be “Fuuuuuuuuckk!!”, I am certain of it.
Absolutely.
Huh… Well, at least if some crazed 1980’s, dressed in bubble wrap, semievil goddess (Gozer) asks if Frigg is a God, she can honestly say, “Yes, you ethereal five-year!!!”
That SHOULD have been, “Yes, you ethereal Fuck-head!!!”
Her answer may answer well be an issue for HR.
Frigg, goddess of FUUUUUUCK!
Mostly that’s the goddess of violence, and not putting up with shit.
Oh, man…
New guy thought this was the cult of the goddess of fertility. Why the Frigg does this keep happening?
That’s the problem with mixing up your pantheons. Leads to all sorts of confusion, and smiting.
“Oh Frigg”, could become a valid exclamatory oath. Monosyllabic names make for the best curse.
