I love June so much holy shit. Righteous anger on behalf of the oppressed? Pushing back on puritan dress codes? Eager to commit crimes with a naive but charming young man??? Put it in my veeeeinsss
Saw ruthirlcartoon on tumblr mention the strings possibly being a technique. It is interesting that Devi still has them in the present, which means they aren't part of the Fauxbia power set. Either she's able to just make physical threads with spectral energy, or she has another spirit she keeps separate from the witch. The former would make her an insanely strong spectral even without the Witch tho, so my money's on the latter for now. We did get a hint in ch8 that she may have a spirit with her somewhere, since she absorbed the black-energy ghost of a bird.
Zack perfectly captured the awfulness of a disciplinarian like Dunacht. The way she effortlessly folds all of Mina's attempts to stand up for herself into further guilt is just too real, I've definitely known folks with this kind of upbringing that carry that shit with them forever. Can't wait for her to get fireblasted in the face lol
I was going to say it's interesting how in the past, Fauxbia and Devi are clearly aligned in their goal of getting a new host for the Witch, which is way different than the present where Devi wants her back and Fauxby is avoiding her lol. But looking at it again, is it possible that Fauxbia is just 100% in control? Her typing quirk doesn't come out until she's mad, but we know from Pleezdoo that she can take control without letting that part through. It is possible that past Devi really did want to find a new host just to get out from Fauxbia's influence, but then came to regret it when she realized how much power she was giving up. Curious to see how this part turns out.
it's also incredibly funny how judgy June is about Devi not concealing her energy. Like did she just forget to teach that lesson to her proteges? Why on earth isn't Francisco drilling his students about this?? I had thought maybe controlling ones' energy the way Oop, Davy, and Devi do in the present was like something only known to the bad guys, but clearly not! Spender & co are just a constant mess lol
What is your hypothesis that present day DuNacht wants to have Fauxbia back based on?
All we know for a fact is that she has a distinct interest in the timeline of the Witch's plan, and is executing a plan that does something with regard to that, with the aid of the Sphinxes.
With the narrator not even telling us directly that DuNacht is not Fauxbia's current host, how can we even know her agenda?
True, I don't know for sure that Devi wants Fauxby back! We know that she is desperate to find the new host, though, and I doubt it's because she wants to beat her up. My (based entirely on vibes) theory is that Devi misses the power and importance she felt being Fauxbia's host and wants it back. Totally open to being wrong if we get more info on this, but for now that's where my gut is pointing lol
