COMICS MEET TOMORROW AND I GET TO GO!!!

*spins*

I have missed these guys so, so much. I should probably tell them that. Yes.

Am going to spend my time either character designing, or resisting the (very strong) urge to draw Namesake fanart (because I definitely want to do at least one pic of Emma, and maaaybe of a couple of the ships I might ship. Two of whom involve the same person GDI. Who I didn't want to care about, but here we are).

Which, uh, yeah. I started over reading Namesake a few days ago, probably close to a week ago at this point. I've just got past where I'd got to before, and am now reading new pages! I have about a year's worth of updates to read before I'm caught up to date.

I remembered a lot more than I thought I would! Which pleased me, because I thought I'd forgotten everything. Everything seemed to happen a lot quicker than I remembered, but I said to mum at one point that it's a bit like the return journey, in that it always goes faster. Alice used to be my favourite character but now she isn't (not because I dislike her - far from it - I just don't like her as intensely as I used to). I considered buying the books, because I can afford them, but I might just get the ebooks for now (as I intend to with Cucumber Quest), as they're cheaper, and the shipping won't be horrific on them (though tbh, I have no idea what shipping rates from Canada to the UK are like. But ebooks for now, I think).

I had sort of forgotten that I like this comic.

It also made me think that, when I'm done rereading Enigma (because why the hell not let's go all out for rereading comics, eh?), I'm going to reread the Thursday Next books, because I haven't read them all, and I own most of them, and I like them a lot.

(Also, you know, they also have a snarky Cheshire cat in. And I am powerless versus snarky cats. Who am I kidding, I'm powerless versus cats full stop).

I seem to have done a lot of rereading this year, but I don't really care. I enjoy rereading books, and at least it means I'm reading, even if it is stuff I'm familiar with.

Anyway, yeah. I have a theory! It is based on accidentally partially spoiling myself for more up to date happenings in Namesake, so if you're not up to date, don't read it (unless, of course, you don't care).

So apparently Ozma is human (i.e. not originally from Oz). This is the spoiler, btw. Well, for a long time now (though I didn't wonder it the first time around, and I don't know why now), I've wondered if Ozma was Emma's mum. I thought this even before I knew Ozma was human.

I know the comic has introduced us to Emma's mum, and she doesn't look like any depiction of Ozma, but Ozma is capable of using magic, right? So she could have changed her appearance?

Maybe?

OK, now I type it out it feels like I'm reaching by quite a lot. Anyway, I'm going to hold onto this and squeeze it until my expectations are shattered into tiny pieces. Which is likely to happen, because I'm rarely right about stuff like this as it is (see also: my predictions for the Raven Cycle; things I thought about Ladybug, etc etc back to the dawn of time).

I'm going to go and read some more now, and find out just how wrong I am...
