Gog’s choice of presentation is fascinating to me.
The demiurges make distinct choices on how they appear: Solomon is a perfectly maintained king, Incubus tries to present as an otherworldly dream-creature, and Mammon is distinct in his lack of intent because his avarice consumes him.
Gog likes playing the comedian. But she isn’t a clown, she’s a jester. A clown just makes people laugh, but a jester? Jesters make commentary without fear of retribution. Just like a classical jester, Gog sees the system she lives within, (and above) finding it ridiculous.
She isn’t just a goofball because she can be, she uses comedy and chaos and sheer raw power to draw attention to the stupid artifice of the system they’re trapped in.

I love how you can crop this specific strip of Kill Six Billion Demons to not include the explanation for Gog-Agog's worms and the interaction becomes 80% funnier

I am back on my bullshit, and with my bullshit I mean over analyzing small details in media
In this case the recent pages of Kill Six Billion Demons (read it! READ IT! IT'S REALLY GOOD!)
Specifically the framing and layout of the pages
so if you're familiar with Tom's work you know he's pretty much allergic to normal comic layouts and simple panels
and even when there are two panels side by side they're never the exact same size
but then we get to Wheel Smashing Lord, pages 77 and 78, where Gog Agog puts our protagonist, Allison, through the horrors of a talk show
and we got side by side panels, with the exact same size, evenly spaced, and with no art or anything between the panels
Of course this is partially done so as to simulate the framing of a TV show, so we get stuck in this TV screen format
buuuut I wouldn't be making a long ass post if this was the only cool thing this paneling was doing
Because what it does is also trap Allison in this neat little box of Gog Agog's influence
Bitch is literally controlling how Allison is framed. She's limiting Allison's range of motion and limiting how we get to see her
but then what happens?
Something that is outside Gog's control. Someone who she has no influence over
So they get to exist outside of the framing, because they're not part of her show
Then the very next page Allison decides she's sick of Gog's shit and how do we see that happen?
She breaks the frame. She gets up from the interview chair and just like that the TV format is broken, and with it Gog Agog's control and influence
Gog cannot contain Allison anymore and so neither can the frame
From this point on we're back to classic KSBD page layouts, except for one little detail
Now Allison gets to exist unbound by panel frames, while Gog Agog herself remains almost entirely trapped, because this bitch just managed to put herself into a corner
aaaaand that's all I got because that is literally the most recent page and it came out yesterday
So uh yeah this comic is really fucking good. Now go read Kill Six Billion Demons!

So, I found out that Kill Six Billions Demons was once a forum comic influenced by the comments on the forum
What I found afterwards is that it was a Homestuck forum
What I found with the surviving archives of the Forum comic is that our friend Gog-Agog and Oscar were one of the first characters to be created
But the thing that caught me by total surprise was that Gog-Agog was THE FIRST CHARACTER TO EVER INTERACT WITH ALLISON
AND ZOSS WAS
FRIEDRICH MOTHERFUCKING WILHELM FATHERFUCKING NIETZSCHE!!
w h a t
Also, to any Homestuck fan
What the fuck is a Metasoul
What the fuck is a Devil
What the fuck is a Parasyte
What the fuck is Archfiend

Ah yes, the look of a totally sane immortal worm king who has seen all of creation and heaven be destroyed and restored and infinite amount of times.
