Here, we take a step back and get Ghoul's take on the whole situation, including his acceptance of all the weirdness (despite his earlier feeling that he would eventually freak out...)

It's a thing that happens to most sorcerers who find out what is actually happening to them.

Most of them feel like something has been missing all their lives. Ghoul had this doubly true. He had already solved part of it (his true gender), but some part was still missing. That is what lead him to do things like wandering around in the subway, near the abandoned tunnels.

Now, it's like he's finally whole. :)

That's the spirit, Ghoul! You're getting into the rush of the hidden side of things--seeing the possibilities, so to speak. ^^

I really like the magic aura reflections on his jewelry. Nice detail. :)

Thanks!

And yes, that is a Thing in Autumn Bay. There is a strange allure to the shadows...

Intense, pulse-pounding, thrilling, standing around waiting for something to happen action!

....
Wait, wait, he's just made peace with his existence. By the holy laws of cliché that are generally observed fairly strictly here, now is the time for him to die or have something else fuck his shit up.

Okay, 100 quatloos, even odds, on at least one of Doc's mind-control zombies showing up to get in a brawl with Ghoul. Any takers?

We shall see how well your clichés stack up in the end...

So far we have you down for the following:

"Ghoul is attacked by a baddie now that he has made peace."

and, from an earlier page:

"Plans on screen don't work out but plans off screen do."

Any others you'd care to put forth?

Would it be bad form for me to post a link to the TV Tropes wiki here as my answer?

Professor Etheric
It would be simply unfair if you are planning on posting to the general wiki, as I am unconvinced that a story could be told at all without touching a lot of tropes.

I want to know which specific cliches you are expecting. To be completely fair on this, I have already drawn all of this season, so any guess is a fair one.

"I need to pee" usually doesn't make a dramatic scene more dramatic, but given Ghoul's general lack of candor, it works here.

I figured the scene could use a touch of levity. :)

Look at him smiling all calm and complacent. You better look sharp, boy, or you're gonna get ripped to shreds. This isn't no joke.

Aw, c'mon. Give him a moment to be at peace. :P

At least one guy is happy right now! :-) (Though as he says, it seems Mercy is having fun too.) Let's just hope that the good guys' intricate plan won't get foiled at the last second because of an ill-timed potty emergency...

Though that would be hilarious, I will go ahead and spoil it for you. There is no potty emergency this season.

Well, I don't know about "yay violence". It is a necessary evil sometimes. Ghoul has ust finally found some peace with everything going on. :)
