The mother clearly has an evil smirk in sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-028

@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні DOA started as a fighting game with a mostly female cast. From the start it was quite clear that they were aiming at fanservice (apparently the second game even has a dummied out NSFW "no clothes" version of a character that is still accessible by using Gameshark codes)

The series hasn't got many games - I think the last one is DOA 6?, yet at some point they managed to make a "spin off series" - no longer a fighting game, the spin off is basically "tropical beach with beach volley, minigames, hundreds of unlockable swimsuits (some released as dlc, so probably to buy everything you would spend the like of 500$) and photo mode". You probably get the idea.

As far as I know none of those spin off are officially available outside Asia but...

Wonder why the Asia version includes the option for English language.

Now, they are actually making some sort of romance visual novel style game.

I am just waiting for the inevitable media scandal

@b_jonas it is not like the son is any less cringe-worthy.

Listed as boyfriend in the comic notes - perhaps that detail should have been added later, not now when the characters are 9 years old.

He is randomly walking the streets when he sees a girl about his age sitting in a corner.

First things that comes to his mind:

> wow, you are cute.

Does he help everyone or just cute girls?

Anyway...

Want to bet on the main character being blood related to the Elodie in the story?

Either because the mom IS that Elodie or because she was found/given to her "fake" parents when she was a child?

Want to bet that the reason no one found the book author is that she has the only copy of the book and the content is actually real history with names changed to look like a fairy tale?

Weird, I first heard the name Elodie a few weeks ago when I watched Netflix' Damsel.

@SPArcheon-onstrike yeah, I can imagine

@SPArcheon-onstrike perhaps the author is unfamiliar with thought bubbles

@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні bah, I HOPE that was a poor attempt at drawing attention to the character hair color, which may be a clue.

You know...

"Anne of Green Gables"

And the old popular belief that "red hair = problematic child" and optionally "devil"

World lore doesn't really look too good to me so far.

Take for example the fox - he claims there is some sort of "king" and the "oath"

"all the foxes on Laverel"

yet... the foxes on Laverel are at war with each other.

There are foxes in Scarlet country and there are foxes in the attacking country. Either the oath isn't worldwide recognized or the foxes can't be following the same oath yet being perfectly fine with killing each other.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I'm not sure anymore on whether "9 year old" is accurate. I got it from sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-024 but that's someone else calling her 9 years old, so she could be younger or slightly older.

@SPArcheon-onstrike what do you expect without a soul?

In fact, sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/artist-wanted says five years old, but note that that's a preliminary plot so it might not be canon.

@SPArcheon-onstrike "later, not now when the characters are 9 years old" => I don't think you have multiple years of time before this comic will continue.

Ah no, I'm wrong!

sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/2024/01/20/… explicitly says that Scarlet comic "Story takes place over many years"

also "https://www.sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-019/#comment-1054" says "around three months older than on the second page of the comic"

@b_jonas Wasn't it clear enough that this is an adult Scarlet?

(and I am quite worried by the fact the fox isn't in this picture)

@SPArcheon-onstrike That's a book cover image, it's not in story, I don't think I can read much into it.

I might try to ask this on the main site.

@b_jonas yet if a book cover has a picture of what looks like the protagonist as a young adult, I expect that the story will get there.

How old she is that is.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I kind of doubt that. sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-009 lists another book by Abel Axios.

Ah, here it is! sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-013 says Scarlet is six years old, and Tibor does know her by that time.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I didn't know the fortnite case was dismissed

> Personally I don't think that she will win as she herself claimed in this video that she does not own this dance move.

@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні ^ this

"They copied the moves I didn't create and don't own!!!"

@SPArcheon-onstrike yup

... saw this on meme reddit, was scared she got another rerun.

^ this is how players can complete a game or a new patch in a day.
