SSSS Read-Along: Chapters 0-10 [Finished]

[yuuago]

One of the best ways to survive a SSSS chapter break is to re-read the comic!

How it works: Every few days, a separate subthread will be posted to this entry for each chapter. Read the chapter, post your thoughts! Let's survive this chapter break together.

April 09: Prologue - Thread

Re: Chapter 03

I've heard some people say that the comic starts too slowly for their tastes... I find that it suits me perfectly, but what I generally tell people is "Stick through to the end of chapter 3, then see how you feel about it". It's a lot of comic to get through, but to me it seems like a good place for it, because this is where we get the first real taste of just what creepiness is out there, rather than it existing as some kind of unknown looming threat.

Anyway. This sure is the chapter that solidified my Emil/Lalli shipping. That "good night" scene was way too cute. But also: Sleep!

Also, this chapter has Agneta, one of my favourite one-off characters. :D I just - I don't know, it's like the prologue folks, it only takes a few pages to get me attached to somebody. (Also, she has really cool hair) ** "A highly unusual degree of inconvenience"... is that what you call it?* On my list of Stuff To Write is some worldbuildy stuff involving her and the other people working on the Dalahästen train... some day, some day.

I really like Agneta too. And it's great that she happens to have a name, unlike a lot of minor characters. I think it's easier to get attached to a character if their name somehow speaks to me.

:)a Yeah, a name definitely helps. ...And I will confess that I feel less weird about falling in love with minor characters when they actually have names.

:D Yes, that. Getting ahead of chapters, but I really wish Reynir's sisters had names...

(Though I also meant that among several characters who all have names, I might a bit more easily latch onto the one whose name I like or that feels particularly fitting for the character)
