I never expected my poke smut to get existential, but I'm not complaining.

I'm more confused than Keith was after I asked him if he could wrestle a polar bear

Somehow this reminds me of inception. This is getting deep.

If only I spent this much time writing my actual stories as I do comments...I'd blame Gamma except I'm not mad, I love it. Fun fact, when I was putting this together for e6, I ran into the fact that e6 has character limits for the first time. So I'm doing my best to turn it into bullet points for here (still not my fault e6 has section commands and Patreon doesn't). And I said on Part 50 that, what if Vanessa gets pulled into Mandy's head unwillingly and just for a moment, but they suddenly get otherwise impossible perspective on each other. It involved her mind blade being used as an accidental telepathy conduit upon striking Mandy in the head (and I can't rule out that happened off camera), but... I've gone from "I'm listening" to "I'm listening intently" https://i.postimg.cc/HxvsJPC3/piratesofthecaribbeani-mlisteningintently.jpg And when I pulled this up and ran my hand down the screen a little at a time to take it all in, and all those "Vanessa's doing a psyche dive into Mandy, or Mandy's pulling her in from her mental collapse" looked right, that was already enough. Then I got to the bottom and I saw her. I don't know how you yanked my heart around so much in only a few pages, but congratulations, Gamma, maybe it's because I'm too nice for my own good, but this is the first time you've made me cry. Just the tiniest bit. But it counts. * When the WIP not only looked like it was jumping ahead a little, but it actually had a description...and that description was "???"...speculation abound! My own guess before reading other comments was that Vanessa's conscience was stopping her. Not from "killing to protect yourself or your loved one is wrong," more from "you already didn't kill her when you had a clear shot at her neck or the moment she was at your mercy, you don't want to do it if you don't have to." * And then came all the "is this Vanessa in Mandy's mind?" guessing and what-if'ing. Which got pretty wild. * As I had some back-and-forth with GrayFieldlon on the WIP and on Part 50, Mandy's past, or what little we know of it, is kind of a shadow of Vanessa's. GF pointed out, Vanessa moves on from her hardships, Mandy doesn't. Which, yeah, that sounds right: Vanessa's past makes her strong, thanks to loving and being loved by others. Mandy keeps trying to escape her past but she keeps destroying her own life and the lives of those around her worse and worse. Vanessa's bad memory of Fuyuki springboarded her to victory, Mandy's bad memory has taken all will to live from her. Vanessa had an "I will protect my loved one even if it kills me" eruption, Mandy's having an "I hate myself and I should never have lived" collapse. It makes them great as characters and as enemies. * If this is indeed Vanessa in Mandy's head, I feel like we're about to get answers to some really big questions about Mandy that I wanted to get answered but assumed never would be.ย  At least, not in this comic, and not for a long time. * Given her mental state can best be described as "already bad, now falling apart," Mandy's memories don't seem reliable to me. But if there's one thing I'd love to see answered and put in canon? Dylan. *Did* she do it?ย  *Did* she cheat on him?ย  And if there's any reason in addition to "she was an unlovable person," why would she do that? * But if this can give us one reason to be optimistic about Mandy's chances of being allowed to live, if you choose to feel that way about her, there's this: So Mandy can tell people about "Them." Whoever they are and whatever they did, ruining a child's life is pretty high on my list of unforgivable things to do. And what if she's not their first or last victim? What if they're still turning other kids into "Mandys"? And even if her story ends here, what if Mandy could be the one who started to break the cycle and help (or get help for) those kids that she never got? Mandy has also done things she can't be allowed to get away with and she deserves to be punished, severely, but if (and there's a ton if "if"ing) there are people who ruined Mandy's life before she had a chance to really have one, whether or not she's the only one? ย They'd better not get away with it, either. Yes, I'm overthinking, a lot, maybe way too much. But if Vanessa is in Mandy's mind...and whatever she's about to see, whether from Mandy's past of being possibly neglected, abused and/or abandoned, or things Mandy has done that make her even more committed to ending this right here right now...with how much Mandy's mind is falling apart, I feel like it's not even close to the levels of "overthinking" we're about to see. And if Vanessa (and us) is about to see a mix of where Mandy came from, and the truth of how much of a monster Mandy *really* is... I don't know how I'm still saying this, but this comic is still going places I never could have expected. ...I gotta remember to breathe... But for now, I'm also gonna put up my flame shields and brace myself for the "she should have spared/finished her" comments.

I have zero idea on how to feel. On one hand I'm like poly with a redemption. On another she was a bitch. And on another maybe help her find her own happiness and lover

Came for the PokeSmut, staying for the amazing story.

devante randle

None of this is a good reason to be a big of an asshole as she is. This flashback is annoying ngl. She literally tried to murder them, that's not trauma.

Anguelius

Hells no. It's not because we see a tragic backstory that'll forget anything

Magical Mayhem

Cool story, but still attempted murder. Can stay Vanny's hand, but Mandy still needs prison or mental hospital. She's too dangerous to be allowed free.

โ˜† nite.

The psyche dive is real, and it's tugging at the heartstrings. Though, I am very surprised that it happened so suddenly. On the WIP of this part, I was emphasizing the idea that Vanessa would see all of Mandy's dark past and attempt to help her break free from it. Seeing what Vanessa is thinking... I think that may be the case. No longer is she fueled by her hatred to kill the person who has caused her and Alex so much trouble. Instead, she understands that there's more to her as a person... a past that she can't let go of that influenced her terrible actions. Now, this definitely doesn't mean forgiveness, far from it. Hell, everything Mandy did is unforgivable regardless if she was influenced by the past or not. However, I think this understanding that Vanessa gains will ultimately lead to Mandy being spared and having justice deal her punishment. Redemption incoming? I really hope so.

Backstory droooop!
