I just don't buy that she's nothing more than a slightly adept amateur. She prepped for this meetup, knew to stay away until the coast was clear, knew to play dumb in case a demon is hiding among them.
Very strong chances that Sharon is either going to - or low-key already has - saved Riff's ass from Aylee/Lacey's planned murder. Now that you said that, I agree. You know, we've heard about Sharon a great deal more than we've actually seen her. Consistently, the team has checked with her about certain problems. She must have skills and know something.

Idk about Sharon but Bun-Bun is too sharp to not know something's up. He suspected Sasha before anyone else and he routinely has a pretty good bead on what other people in the gang are thinking.

Yeah, I laughed out loud when the demon said "It should be easy enough to bury them all" as a part of this plan. Catch Riff off guard? MAaaaaaaybbeeee. But there's a big bad bunny there too that's much more dangerous! Come on! Did she read NOTHING from Aylee's brain?

He's only been able to kill gods because he's not bound by the fate web. Demons are, at least according to Sharon, and Bunbun is the god of Power.

That would be a closing story-line worthy moment.

I think Bunbun wouldn't want to wield a weapon that can mouth off to him. Although Chaz might have less to say if someone like Bunbun were wielding him.

Was going to post this on the Reactions thread, but realized that I am dabbling in speculation, so... From today's strip: https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?ch ... 2022-10-055th panel: When I read the fragment of writing in the close-up of 'paper' Gwynn, it looks like the text is written from Gwynn's perspective (that is, it is her current 'story'), given that the fragments say [Gw]ynn was full of fear', her [decis]ion? [or perhaps situat]ion was irreversible', and ... '[concern mos]tly' for Zoe alone with de[mons]', along with 'Farahn wo[uld]' in the last line. As to the author? Farahn? Gwynn? The Fate Web itself? Or, is this Pete in story author/narrator omniscience mode?

It's like her dimension of lame counterpart - her thoughts and actions are written on herself as they happen. At least that is how it would work if she remained corporeal.

I just reread That Which Redeems last night, and they're are so many similarities. It's too bad that Torg isn't hear to notice them! DoL Gwynn had more autonomy and control, but was just as much "One" as Gwynn is now. Maybe it's how it could be without Fahran there. I feel slightly hopeful with that example. It's indirect evidence that Gwynn might be able to regain some control.

I know it might be difficult to conceive, but maybe DoL Farahn (or whoever or whatever the book was being possessed by) isn't as awful as Farahn prime? Thus explaining why DoL Gwynn had more autonomy.

Fahran being not so bad would make sense since the nuke was letters of kindness! Maybe he his limit is throwing food like some of the resistance!

Or, is this Pete in story author/narrator omniscience mode? Definitely Gwynn's perspective, if you look at her tongue today. In the past when Farahn wrote comamnds on her, it was all red and scary.
