I support this. 100%. I can imagine it. They’re all happy. They saved the world. They found out how to get back to themselves. They’re all ready to go, then Best says, you go on ahead without me. I’m staying here. And then stuff happens, but Best ends up happy.
That’s been my theory all along. Or very close to it. I think it’s something more tragic; that Best somehow DIES in the game world but only after choosing to do so, maybe somewhat sacrificially. And then, of course, the others make it out of the game, but Best has already died.
I still think of that as a metaphor for the eventuality of death. Think 10000 years in the future, where all our current graveyards will likely be untended and forgotten. Maybe not, but it’s very likely.
Supposedly the Winter Elves see EVERYTHING so I imagine this is a concept they’re extremely used to. Best wants/wanted to have his legacy live literally forever, but that’s not possible. After long enough time erodes a lot, and I think that’s what the Winter Elves are trying to express.
“No, don’t give him the white suit. While the matching glove is quite shiny with sparklestones, it’s missing one from the pair. Go with the yellow one with all the straps.”
“I mean, I have an asshole, everyone does. So do you, for that matter, but that’s not the point…the point is, you’re my friend who is ALSO an assh- Uhh…you know what, bad metaphor. Lemme start over.”
Assuming Payet Best has never had a friend and saying so to his face definitely makes me think Byron still thinks he’s better than him. He sounds like an asshole right now.
Yet he dies at a lonely grave… I feel like fate is either shifting, it’s cruel.
Maybe he simply outlives the rest of the team, who where the only ones that would have visited him?
….though I suppose that doesn’t exactly rule out the “fate is cruel theory.” :P
Or maybe he chose to stay in Arkerra when the others left back to Sepia World

Or maybe the lonely grave under a tree is *in* Sepia World.
Just sayn’

Every grave is lonely, if anybody puts me in one it’ll be over my dead body.
Just give it several decades…It’ll happen somewhen between now & then.
I just try to not take life *too* seriously, because no one gets out of it alive.
Best has really been doing his best turtle impression these last few pages.
But is he turtly enough for…
No, I won’t do it. I have enough self respect not to quote that movie again. *walks out muttering and slams the door behind him*
your gravatar works for this comment.
Pleeeeeeease Best do not fuck this up
I feel like Weo would have said something if the gift giving turned out badly. Even if he knows it can’t be prevented.
“No, don’t give him the white suit. While the matching glove is quite shiny with sparklestones, it’s missing one from the pair. Go with the yellow one with all the straps.”
This is Best you’re pleading with. Asking him to not fuck something up is like asking water to not be wet or fire to not be hot.
Triethylborane has an autoignition temperature of −20 °C (−4 °F), so maybe he’s got a chance!
And there’s also such a thing as “Dry Ice” too…
;)
Yes, but I bet once it gets started it’s quite energetic.
Byron finally got a Best friend.
Payet Best… I am your father.
Thank jeebus somebody said it!
*clears throat* UHMMMMMM ACTUALLY THE QUOTE IS “No… I am your father.”
THHHHHANK YOUUUUU.
Now – kiss!
These last few pages had my ho yay sense tingling. I wonder who’s the uke and who’s the seme here…
I could see Best being a power bottom

That was supposed to be YT’s embed link, I’ve no idea how this works anymore.
Maybe https://youtu.be/tOUjQ7ehnzM
Nope. Sorry for the mess.
I blame Trump.
Careful, just mentioning his name runs the risk of bringing a political opinionated firestorm of stupidity here.
I still don’t think Best was right. Byron says he was, but despite what best might think Byron doesn’t exactly have the highest opinion of himself.

Two assholes make a Richard?
No, a quasi-undead body & an awesome Fwooosh makes a Richard.
An asshole does carny out an important function, ana it would be a major bummer not to have one.
Y keynrod is in revolt, it seems.
When Byron is better than most people in the comment section xD
Always?

“Something I’ve never had before? A friend? You think I’ve never had a friend before you?!”
Best storms off and Byron swings and misses again.
Maybe – though I hope not (this is my first time through these).
On the other hand, what Payet has never had before is *Byron* as a friend, and that’s significant.
If Best is the Asshole of this group, I guess Frigg is the Goddammit.
Frigg is the phalus.
Is this meant as a wordplay on “godemiche”? Pardon my French. ;)
