There are no authority figures unless one consents to acknowledge others as such. Power is taken, not given. The same is true of choice. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it for your own reasons, rather than theirs.
contradiction. when power is taken, not given, it is taken nonconsensually. when people establish themselves as authority figures either your first or second sentence is false.
I am going to have to make a “Center for the Defiantly Extended Finger”
Here at CDEF we are learning to give a shit about not giving a fuck.”
Of course I’m not just the President of CDEF, I’m also using my member privilege!
I can see the charitable fund-raising campaign:
Won’t you give a gift to those who give a shit? We won’t give a fuck, but we will give you this commemorative tabard, and a subscription to our newsletter!
I think this is an over simplification. Some big bads can back up their words. They’re not compensating they just tend to be chatty or worse yet monologue.
Eh, I’m inclined to think it’s like Colbey in A City In A Place. In one of the side stories (http://acityinaplace.com/images/goodbye/goodbye038f3.pdf) someone tells her, “That’s your strength, Colbs: you know the enemy has the upper hand, and you don’t give a fuck. You don’t care because you know the edge that sheer strength of will gives you.”
To Frigg, if you’re defiant enough then no big bad can actually live up to their talk, so use their talk to fuel your defiance.
Bitch, you can’t make me stop treating you with respect.
I disrespect authority figures so much, I ignore warnings from authority figures to avoid using terms of respect and come around full circle!
Funny, those were my thoughts when I read the third pannel.

Learning to give a shit about not giving a fuck is the true essence of wisdom.
That… or its Two Girls One Cup.
Either or.
Ah yes. I had forgotten the tale of the Unholy Grail…
Less soliloquy, more profanity and glowyshit decapitatory.
Oh god. Those two aren’t boning are they?
We did have plenty of (non-serious) ship-tease between them.
Only prob I had with that was she came on to E-Merl almost as if she was gifting him a “pity-f@*#”. He deserved better.
Well, he was definitely boney, and she’s talking boner…

I might have to design a patch for that.
I’m thinking softball jerseys, for both teams.
CDEF vs NGLA
Glowybatshit needs to happen.
I can see the charitable fund-raising campaign:

I imagine that tabard would have a skid mark on it.
Im so proud of them.
For fucks sake you guys
What is this kindhearted shit
Haiku’s need more swears
So E-merl became a zenmaster, then? well, I guess that works, especially since he;s one for the most energetically defiant one in the known universes.
It is interesting to see E-Merl becoming the Obi-Wan, innit?
I approve of E-Merl Kenobi. Precious bean has confidence now.
good to see him, to some degree, recovering from the loss of rachel.
Have a look at the background in that last panel.
I’d bet his mastery of his new roll is getting him a loooooooot of pussy!
The Center for the Defiantly Extended Finger: We give a shit, but give no fucks.
Not even just one little fuck?
only to each other at night when the students aren’t around.
To be fair, if they are giving a fuck, they probably don’t give a shit about who knows it? so it sort of balances out?
It looks like E-merl reedited some gastonian marshall clothes… I guess it suited him
All things considered it suits him, he’s the silver talents to turn the rubes rags into robes.
Look at E-Merl, all grown up! Good for him!
Indeed.
Lol! Poor Frigg. I guess she hasn’t realized the downside to teaching defiance.
Sooooo refreshing to have Rachel’s death actually mean something… I’m happy.
Concur. I certainty didn’t expect this comic to be so moving.
Indeed! I still miss her, but it’s good to see what her passing has brought about.
CDEF? I’m a bit disappointed that Frigg’s “church” doesn’t have a dirty acronym.
She’s just defying your expectations.
That “ma’am no ma’am” is the Most Frigg Thing To Say. The lessons are really coming along.
No comments on the Tamara tag yet? Still stings.
… Did E-Merl just shut Frigg down? Good lord and butter, how he’s changed.
even better she LET him do it. she mellowed. well for frig she’s mellowed.
I think this is an over simplification. Some big bads can back up their words. They’re not compensating they just tend to be chatty or worse yet monologue.
The thing that would scare me about living full-time in an imagined world is a sort of epistemic closure, in which tropes just play out uncriticized.
Also, getting attacked by monsters. That would also scare me.
Looks like E-Merl got some good character growth out of all of this, and a sweet new outfit.

I LOVE this school!
And Frigg makes for an awesome head mistress!
