Another rant that isn't about TV Tropes

Having recently replayed Cliff Johnson's The Fool and His Money, I've come to realize how people feel about what Linda Woolverton did in Maleficent, except that it was somehow either better or worse, since Cliff did it to his own character - the High Priestess. She may not have been an example of Unspeakable Trope #9, but she was introduced in The Fool's Errand as a genuinely sinister and menacing villainess with just a dash of hamminess, cursing the land and sealing away the Fourteen Treasures for $#!+s and giggles, to the point where it was satisfying to see the Fool tricking her into defeating herself. Then, along comes TFaHM, and it reveals that she wasn't evil, just corrupted by an outside force into doing what she did. It's almost as if Cliff wanted to show off how much he'd learned about tarot motifs since his previous game. I'd say Egyptian mythology, too, except that he made Thoth female for no apparent reason other than Thoth being a lunar deity, never mind that I can name three other male lunar deities off the top of my head - Mani (Norse), Chandra (Hindu), and Tsukuyomi (Shinto), and there are probably many more out there. Don't get me wrong, TFaHM is a great game, if fiendishly difficult without a guide and often fiendishly tedious with one, but these two things just bugged me enough that I just had to rant about them. :P

Self Defense Tips from Aboard the Fool's Errand!

If you go wooden in a fight, that's on you (Thanks, Rhea)

If it's you or them, make sure it's you (Thanks, Vlad)

Also, keep your focus and be present (Wow you really miss teaching already, huh, Vlad?)

You have a right to protect yourself and your safety, whether that means biting the thing in front of you until it stops or scaring it off (Thanks Kombu!)

Talk to your mentor about the whole squaring up with death thing (... not a bad idea thanks Kombu)

Isolde (the kings sister), Saoirse (one of the lady knights), and Caius (Augustine’s asshole half-brother)

So… he knows of such magic, but is unable to decipher it? Well, I guess he is a fool… or was there supposed to be a "not" between "knew" and "of"?

FINALLY I had a spare moment and a functional enough shoulder to finish this thing bonus alternative third panel that I rejected because I thought the other drawing was funnier:

"Did I have a fit last night?" A small silence preceded his words. He kept his voice casual. "A small one, perhaps. You tossed your head about and trembled for a time in your sleep. I held you still. It passed." He did not want to speak of it any more than I did.
