Grrl Power #453 – I am The Refiller!

Assault is named badly in the legal world. It's the threat of violence, not actual violence. I mean, if you're in the military, and you're planning an assault on an enemy base camp, it doesn't mean you're going to call them up and say "We're gonna kill you so bad with bullets and grenades, and you're going to be dead all over the place so n'yah!" You can see why Sydney has her terminology mixed up.

Having blood regeneration would obviously make someone quite the item with vampires. Wolverine would do pretty well with the vamp ladies. But now I have to wonder with anyone who regenerates" if you cut off a finger, how much of them would regrow from that finger? The whole finger, part of the hand? Obviously it depends on how powerful their regeneration is, but in the case of a vampire drinking the blood of someone who regenerates, if it was insanely powerful, a vamp could potentially stay topped off for a long time on a single ingurgitation. Yeah, just learned that word. Of course, if the person's regeneration was truly bonkers, they could potentially regenerate a clone of themselves every time they got a nose bleed, but that would probably be pretty bad for a vamp to sup.

"Executive Patrons" get to cameo a character of theirs, or themselves, or even themselves as a super, and this is what we came up with. Tom H. C.'s original idea was that he could refill anything, including stuff like bank accounts or empty stomachs, but that seemed like there was a lot of potential for abuse with a power that basically worked on semantic chicanery, so we compromised. By the way how mad would you be if you blew a wish on "refill small amounts of liquid." I guess in the "maybe it's a flashback and maybe that's just what Sydney's imagining" panel 3, the djini is a beginner, so she couldn't have fulfilled a big wish anyway. Maybe she was limited to cantrip wishes. Actually I guess as incredibly minor wishes go, that's not a bad one. The ability to never lose stuff, or never get lost would be nice. Perfect vision even when you're 97. The ability to remember what page you were on in any book without needing a bookmark. Man, that doesn't even qualify as a minor power.

I have two cool webcomics to share with you guys.

One is a fast moving comic with lots of lore and colorful art that sort of reminds me of Sergio Aragoni(C)s/Groo. Less cartoony, it's just because of how busy the background and details are. In fact the creature designs and backgrounds make me a little self conscious about my gray stone council chamber populated with silhouettes, but I'll swallow my pride and share the good stuff with you guys. It's called Kill Six Billion Demons. Based on the health of their Patreon, some of you might have already found it, but good comics could always use more eyes.

The other one is topical to the current storyline. It's called How to be a Werewolf. It's about human looking robots replacing people in a space colony" no, I'm kidding, it's obviously about werewolves. Specifically a werewolf girl raised by her human parents and none of them know anything about being a werewolf. That's the premise anyway, read it to find out what happens.

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon as soon as I get up. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like :)
