Huh… Kudos to Reginald as he is looking her in the eye. Castella, however…. general downward glance. Next stop, Embarrassment Station! Get off here kids, the only stops after are in Compromising Central.
@SeanR: you need to RE-READ the Location tag for the Brynn/Katherine Sleepover page… they are both in the SAME HOUSE!… different FLOORS, yes, but the same house nonetheless…
Not a good move! She’s a Plant, and Reginald’s a Pollinator. He may find her Tumbleweed” for more attractive, and less intimidating. That is potentially even MORE embarrassing!
Having a kitten or a puppy is a tremendous responsibility. I would imagine that having a boy would be even more so. I would be more sanguine if Castela had successfully had a pet.
Mama, Atsali, while you both were on your sleepovers, I accidentally turned Reginald the butterfly into a human boy.
Probably best if you don’t drink any of the root beer potion in the refrigerator.
Was there a set point she started growing the extra guns? I don’t recall a story point about it except maybe to emulate Aunt Shelly after she got the jacket?
She appears to do a sort of “Hulk Mode” thing lately when she feels threatened, surprised, whatever. Possibly because she’s realized vaporizing continents is not an appropriate response for regular threats. Muscles are a pretty socially acceptable way of defending yourself, even in front of the normal folk. Or perhaps she’s just drawn that way in moments of stress to underscore her growing power, who knows really except the author? Either one does pretty much make sense though. (Well, as far as anything makes real world sense in Waspi anyway once the magic comes out to play.)
She mentioned Cricket, so my two thoughts on this are either she grabbed the wrong potion, like the one that transformed Digit, or this is actually one of Cricket’s Honor guard that was supposed to be watching the Blackthorn, and that potion had an unusual side effect because of Fea.
And here is where mom come walking in saying ” honey I’m home early I was worried about you being… a- lone…. WHO THE HELL IS THE NAKED HUNKIE BOY IN YOUR BEDROOM YOU”ER NAKED WITH!!!!! ” DUN- DUN- DUN!!!
Also why is it girls always cover their breasts at times like this… when their other lady parts would be a much better choice for covering up. or an arm across the breasts and a hand over the south pole.
Well, for the most part, if they (Females) are standing, a whole lot of the ‘equipment’ isn’t all that visible.
Not like with most Males where standing reveals the ‘package’.
Breasts, otoh, are very much ‘look-at-me!’, esp with the differences in coloring drawing the attention, So, they’d need covering as a priority (to shield things from view) where as the under-bits are just that; Under.
Still, I see Females covering both, as the situation calls for it.
I reference a film called the ‘the Proposal’ w/ Sandra Bullock as a readily available example.
Exquisite!

I can’t wait to see Castela’s reaction to the sudden discovery that She IS “Vulnerable.”
Yes, exactly. She mentions “I hope you dont mind if I get into my PJ’s…” and while running her introspective monologue (thinking both that the Butterfly cant participate in a dialog* & can understand her nonetheless) she starts doffing stuff thinking he’s not a humanoid and therefore safe-ish to disrobe in front of.
This reminds me of Sailor Moon Super S, when Chibi-usa had Pegasus (who was trapped in a snow globe) in her bedroom, and was treating him like a semi-sentient pet. There was a scene where she does exactly what pickle does here, whips her top off changing for sleep right in front of him. The difference there is that in Sailor Moon it was played for Dramatic Irony – the audience saw Pegasus reaction and knew that he was a functioning adult personality but Chibi-usa was still treating him like a pet.
Whereas here, Reginald is now revealed to be more than the pet that Pickle thought he was mere moments ago, and that fact is being revealed to her in the most stark way possible. Thus giving us a fantastic moment of cartoon anticipation as we wait for the explosion – verbal, emotional, or even literal – in tomorrows installment. Unless we get a scene change, in which case I WILL cry.
Well, he IS cute and adorable.
welp.. another potential crater inducing event…
well… almost a ‘TILT’…..:P
I’ll say it again… DO YOU WANT A SMOKING CRATER?? Cause this is how you get smoking craters!
This is going to be the greatest compromising situation ever!
Huh… Kudos to Reginald as he is looking her in the eye. Castella, however…. general downward glance. Next stop, Embarrassment Station! Get off here kids, the only stops after are in Compromising Central.
Also, enter Mom stage right in the next comic or two methinks.
Her mom’s on a sleepover of her own.
That’s part of what made watching those scary movies by her self such a bad idea.
However, her dropping by for some forgotten item is possible.
@SeanR: you need to RE-READ the Location tag for the Brynn/Katherine Sleepover page… they are both in the SAME HOUSE!… different FLOORS, yes, but the same house nonetheless…
She opened up to the non-speaking butterfly, and now has to own the truths she’s unwittingly let spill.
This should be fun.
‘….nice stem.’
Stamen, I think?
Pistil?
Hawk – “I got your pistil right here” (apologies to “Grease”). Also, for some reason I am unable to reply to Hawk.
Castella has ghost hair?
Cue collapsing into a tumbleweed form.

I doubt she immediately realizes that this named person is Reginald. So I anticipate an extreme freakout in the next strip.
*naked person. Stupid autocorrect…
Did she remove her shirt off panel? Because she had a shirt in the prior strips and doesn’t appear to now.
Yes
I also noticed that she asked if it was ok for her to change into her pajamas in front of him aaaand she’s still not put them on yet…
Silly question, but when exactly did Castella develop her bodybuilder arms? On this comic:

They look like everyone elses, but then here:

She’s in muscle-girl mode.

And then Kath comes in because she “forgot something” and hilarity ensues… /scene >:D
Digit, Reginald. Reginald, Digit.
You two might have a few things in common.
Like predator and prey?
and now he’s actually going to die. ~<3
And here is where mom come walking in saying ” honey I’m home early I was worried about you being… a- lone…. WHO THE HELL IS THE NAKED HUNKIE BOY IN YOUR BEDROOM YOU”ER NAKED WITH!!!!! ” DUN- DUN- DUN!!!
PS called the her getting naked w/out looking at him till she turned around.

Where is the nosebleed?
Maybe Castela’s first words will be, “You need a haircut.”
Well, hello there!
I suspect this is one of the signs of the apocalypse. The LAST ONE.
cue deafening squeal that turns somewhere ultrasonic in 3. 2. 1….
Exquisite!

I can’t wait to see Castela’s reaction to the sudden discovery that She IS “Vulnerable.”
Did she take off her shirt somewhere between last page and this page? Cause I missed it, and i am confuzzled
Yes, exactly. She mentions “I hope you dont mind if I get into my PJ’s…” and while running her introspective monologue (thinking both that the Butterfly cant participate in a dialog* & can understand her nonetheless) she starts doffing stuff thinking he’s not a humanoid and therefore safe-ish to disrobe in front of.
But then…
*- Wait, can/has Castela ever (yet) ‘heard’ Reginald actually ‘speak’? (How’d she find out his name after all?) I’ze con-fuze’d.
Wow! I certainly hope he is not secret fae police there to protect her. If so, this will probably get pretty ugly pretty quickly.
