Gravatar (singular) is a service that allows you to use the same avatar across multiple forums, sites, applications, etc. You create a free account on the service, upload your avatar, and assign it to an e-mail address. If a site takes advantage of Gravatar (as this one does), it will displayed the assigned avatar for your comments. You can assign a different avatar to each of your e-mail addresses. It’s faster and easier than managing your avatars on a site-by-site basis.
Just E-mail. You can change your name as much as you like but if the e-mail stays the same the Gravatar or GA Avatar will remain the same. I tried it a chapter or few back. TurnerBurner and TurnerBurner1 2 different e-mails……hmmmmm and 2 different names…..more experimentation is needed.
That was used a long time back in the archives already, and Phil awarded it a Gold Star the first time it was used. I don’t reckon repeats would qualify.
I’m kinda hoping that in the next strip, Frigg releases an epic-level obscenity, destroying the beast, the comic/readership, and the Internet simultaneously. South Park makes a reference to it next week, after the world recovers. Chuck Norris petulantly claims that he said it first, and it caused the Housing Bubble to burst. Rappers attempt to say it, but explode before completing the phrase. Conspiracy theorists claim that if God created the world with a single word, he will end it with That Obscenity.
Usually apocalyptic scenarios sound like something pretty bad to live through, but this case is really something I would most definitely not want to be witness to.
Also, main characters (a.k.a. players) seem to be immune to immediate derezzing from body contact with that thing (unless she somehow created a divine shield – but if that was the case, she would be hearthing right now)
That looks to me that it may have progressed from weapon enhancement to this setting’s equivalent of Divine Shield. I suspect that it’s breakable rather than representing invulnerability until the time runs out, though.
I predict that someone we haven’t seen attack the Beast yet will strike next… which would make it either Fr’nj, Penk or Sundar. Perhaps most likely Penk.
I may be out of place, but what if the otherworldly powers in Arkerra are real (at least in the context of that world — it’s already been intimated that Arkerra is not just a gameworld), and it’s not so much a game effect as Frigg’s god actually protecting her? It would explain why what seems to be a virus cannot corrupt the particular effect the way it could Gravedust’s arrow.
MECHA FRIGG!
Icon thingy(don’t know official name) is not quite appropriate for sentiment.
It’s called an avatar. I think here people call them gravatars? Because they are guilded age avatars?
Good guess, but that’s not why they’re called Gravatar’s. https://en.gravatar.com/
(It’s actually a shortening of “Global Avatar”)

I think it does it without a password too which is kind of weird. It goes by name and email, I believe.

Damn… You where right.
I feel vindicated.
Seriously. A King of the Hill Reference?
Itellyawhut.
hwut*
If only that monster had testicles to kick.
Frigg: “I sell cans of Whoop-Ass and Whoop-Ass accessories I tell ya hwut”
Don’t you mean pro-pain and pro-pain accessories?
Nice

It does seem a bit out of place.
So do all her dumb internet memes but that’s the part of her character she brought over from the real world.
Do you have somewhere to be? B/c I’d like to know which direction to kick your ass!
Hmmm reading that it would have been more appropriate for her to say something about her “box.”
I don’t think Frigg can think outside her box.
It seems the Beast has a crush on Frigg…
Frigg seems to have a violence kink,
She may develop unrequited feelings for this beast that could take a lickin and keep on tickin.
If she had consented, maybe. But, BEAST tried to force itself on her. The only feelings she’s ever gonna have for it are 50 Shades of KA-SMITE!!!
Okay, that one made me grin. You win comment of the day for me. :D

You’re talking about the Vast Expletive from Homestuck! :D
Since Frigg is an avatar now, it´s probably “HHHOOOOLLLYYYYY FUUUUUUUUU….”
Frigg doesn’t merely draw aggro, she absorbs it.
That monster is soooo screwed!
Wonder how long she can keep that up.
Not long without help, it seems. The green dust and green mesh encroaching on Frigg’s GHS suggests the creature is possibly close to derezzing her.
‘Derezzing’. Nice. I was wondering what to call the effect.
Implacable rage versus otherworldly horrors, tentacle no touchie.
Immovable box meets irresistible tentacle.
It’s looking pretty fucking resistible in that last panel.
Because Frigg’s already been smashed against the wall in the 2nd.
Box + tentacle = female chicken neckwear? (i.e. Hen Tie)
ALL the internets. You has won them.
And just think: There is already porn of it.
Porn Again
After a thing like that destroys your soul, there’s no way you can ever be porn again.
I wonder if Frigg’s god requires a paptism to be porn again?
It’s got eye only for you.
For Your Eye Only
Help, thief!

Frigg doesn’t want to be subject to them photoshop effects
Nice touch with friggs reflection in the beasts eye.
Her “shields” are holding up… but for how long?
She needs more power, Scotty!
The lower the shields the longer they last.
Resident Expert right here, it seems.
It looks like Frigg is trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Gott dangit, Bobby.
I sense that Frigg will go super saiyan( or crusader which ever you perfer)!
Isn’t a Super Crusader just a “one-man death squad”?
That would seem appropriate since Frigg is trying to fight a death-squid.
I predict that someone we haven’t seen attack the Beast yet will strike next… which would make it either Fr’nj, Penk or Sundar. Perhaps most likely Penk.
Yeah Penk and WAV will have a jam session, using the band name Pink Wave.

Frigg forgot to kick it in the groin.
What groin?
