Holy crap this update it’s so amazing. Also thank you BC for having Rand cameo this update.

ThisGuyEli

It all comes down to this

Erobos

very informative update, Everythings coming together

SmoreDreg

RAND MADE IT BOYS!!! Congrats!

Erobos

Seeing allister all subby gets me in the right spots too, and i got a new appreciation for Otis~

Steve

From the sounds of it, Otis is either already dead, or very very close to it, at least that's what I'm getting from it. Still crazy that most of this could have been avoided if he just told his wife he was Bisexual. Imagine

Khorax

Just incredible. It's amazing how much everything has ramped up. I wonder what the anomaly is. I can't wait to see how this continues!

Steve

Also noticed the runes on Allister's chest. I knew that bear had a plan. It'll all be okay in the end

Hadou Shinken

Regarding Allister, Something something I’ll have what he’s having ~ ALSO NOOOOOOOOO ODALL! But also yay, convo with Odhran, finally! Also subby Allister is hot as fuuuuuuck. Tune in next time for Across The Otis-verse Part 3!

Steve

Can't lie, Franks's mom is just about as bad, if not worse than Otis. like she was part of the foundation for all of this. Yes, she was a part of it, hoping to do good with what they were creating, and hoping to save lives, but she really did the complete opposite. And now her own life is at risk potentially. It's all fucked

Steve

Scratch that- one of those runes doesn't look like it's meant to be there, the only one that seems to be glowing. I could be wrong but it is a cause for concern. Probably wasn't the best idea letting RF of all people write them on him haha

Bernard's Sketchbook

Makes one glad that Frank is a decent person in comparison to them both

foreverVoyager

Definitely very haunted by that Kardashianesque corridor in Frank’s dream sequence.. also loving Cassandra’s tusk-friendly mask

Rodney Talon

His wife found him cheating. She was going to leave. He tried to get blackmail. Apex did not like that...and so she whammied him hard, but it drove him crazy and made his madness viral? So could induct other ritualistic dl preds and fornicators playing out his- well, issues. Anything like minded gets pulled out (the ob personae) Likely frank's dad was never sane, and post the whammy hasn't been, so much as...coherently deluded. He effectively made an apocalyptic mardi gras based on repressed desire and trauma and self castigation. By using occult thinking and ritual to crudely, but somehow, more effectively hack the chips and their network Am i close?

Just a Beagle

Ah man, this update really paints quite the harrowing picture for the Bellows family. Interesting to see the lengths either of the pair would go to for their own self justification! It's very VERY satisfying to see both Frank and Cassandra just kinda vent in the midst of this, it really does reinforced how estranged the family seems to be, and only makes me hope Frank is successful even more with all this, ahaha. Fascinating update! Boy that ending stings hard for me ahahaha!! :,3 (Which! Means it did its job proper!) Ah yeah, and the reveal of Oldrich's actual name is very nice! Very cool use of the character and satisfying little arc for Hugo! Not much else to say other than the "ghost in the shell" motif is always a cool addition in sci-fi stories like this ahaha. (also damn, knew that beagle was gonna be a lousy hire >:,3 I'm sorry Mrs. B ehehe)

Rodney Talon

Unlikely he was. By his confession he was forcing himsrlf to be with her. Note in this crude crazed fantasy no women. He really isn't into them. Also i think, partially hates himself and gets off domming and clntrolling preds, usually in a subordinate position

Rodney Talon

Also also Wellllcome to the Velvet Room!!!!

Steve

For as bad as a Hire he may be, he's probably got good morals! Something that's hard to come by, clearly XD

Bernard's Sketchbook

I can't help but think that he knew that RF would do that and it's playing into the plan. However, knowing Allister's self-sacrificial streak and RF's love for sacrifices it still might not be good for him.

Just a Beagle

Ahah! You may be giving him a liiiil too much credit there, but I'll admit, it's a nice little surprise to see! (By that I mean beagle mans having good morals I mean, ahah. Sorry, just realized how confusing this sounds.)

Cid

To think that the cause of all of this was because of adultery, smdh. Still though... Otis is super hot. I can see why Allister was lusting after that pig daddy. 👌

Crowbar

Very sad, stop being mean to the AI Frank!

Hon3ybazzer

"Here's another load for your pussy you slut". best line of the comic, and such an intense way for Allister to lose his virginity. I don't think he ever forgave himself for carnally wanting Mr. bellows and he's accepting this as punishment, also a great way to finally get his rocks off guilt free.

Meanbeard

At last the lies come more into focal, as the many pains of the truth are brought to the forefront. All hail coming end...All hail the monsters of our own creation.

Robert Smith

FRANK YOU CAN SAVE ALLISTER I BELIEVE IN YOU I BELIEVE IN YOU SO MUCH. YOU CAN DO IT. Holy shit this was intense- a lot of theories confirmed, I should have realised that the Shining Ones were an APEX delusion, that seems so obvious now. I am glad Frank was right and Otis was the hacker- and that explains why the hacks could only happen at one time of the day, that was when the two met. This fake Otis... I still refuse to believe that this is anything but the Fire having consumed Otis Bellows. Hugo confirns it, in my mind. It's a monster now... I just want Allister to be OK and saved from it. It is clear the illusion is starting to break, at least, the marks have appeared on Allister's skin, I'll double check the runes when I get another second. Hugo!!! I knew there was good in you. Good cat. Like... he reflects so many of the themes of Dusk Acres. The goal to be the person you want to be, in the face of such horror that you can barely cope. The aim to be a Good Person, even if you don't think you are. His sacrifice was so touching. Cassandra Bellows... she has tried to save Otis so many times... I wonder if she realised how much Otis loves her.

Robert Smith

OK- my best reads on the runes are 'FIRE PRISON', 'FIRE HEAL', and 'FIRE LIFE/ DEATH' - though that one is missing the 'dot', so I don't know if it would work. A broad spectrum attempt to heal/ kill/ imprison a God. My question is, are they what is suppressing the athame right now? FIRE can be read as God after all... but at the least they might be protecting Allister a little, because he isn't possessed by the Fire yet, he can still recognise Frank...

Robert Smith

You are really great!!! And yeah the Bellows family tragedy is so sad because it really feels like... two people that loved each other so much, but couldn't actually live together really, they weren't compatible as more than friends. And the desperation to prove to each other that they were worthy of the other... led to this tragedy. I want to cry

Robert Smith

Finally the smoke... I guess it is a corruption of the Fire, its inevitable self destruction. It feels like this is the way the Fire always goes, self consumption of its host and the world, because it is searching for a contradiction. A perfect host with no 'flaws'... but it feeds on those flaws to power itself. The 'sadness' in J certainly points that way- the idea there is something inherently in the Fire that just wants to be comforted, to belong, but it can't. It just burns and breaks the stuff it tries to touch. God know I am feeling for the specimen sfrggtgh.

Robert Smith

I think the madness was more the realisation he did actually love Cassandra - he truly cared for her, though she always thought that love was performative. He tried to save her the only way he knew how, which was the power of his rituals- which drew him closer to the Fire

Robert Smith

I do wanna quickly talk about the Fire because... that comfort line feels very telling. It has been trying to fill a void, to do what it thought its host wanted... whilst still destroying them. No wonder the cauterisation process is so painful- it must hurt to be rejected by someone it feels it is giving a perfect life to. The problem is... it isn't perfect. Otis was always chasing a delusion, from the moment he decided he wanted to be like his dad, like Cassandra said. This eldritch thing just... it doesn't understand love, I don't think. It exists in sex, and passion, and hate... but it doesn't understand emotion. It sees the outside, but not the inner feelings. No wonder it is so sad, insulating itself in sex and drugs. No wonder it is willing to burn itself out in an orgy of destruction.

Robert Smith

OK fuck more thoughts I am so sorry but... Frank's temptation, the world the anomaly wanted him to see. It was all being degraded, being fucked by unknown figures. He... really hates himself doesn't he? He really doesn't think he is worth more than that and... I want to hug him so bad. He doesn't deserve to think that no one could ever want him for anything other than a quick fuck, and he wants to lose himself in that. Frank... he is such a good boar as well...

Robert Smith

I hate to disagree on some level but, I would like to provide a counterpoint. I think that both Otis and Cassandra acted out of love. A twisted love, yes, definitely... but it was love. She tried to make the world a better place, but ignored the signs- and her alienation from Otis, who she loved desperately, pushed her further into this. She created an extravagant illusion to 'free' him from her... but he didn't want that, not really. He wanted her. Otis... his pursuing of Cassandra's secrets was a twisted way of proving how much he loved her. To show they could both be something different in the dark, but still be in love, deeply and truly. The real tragedy is they were both deeply flawed people who fell in love with ideals, and didn't have the ability to compromise. I don't think they are evil. Not really. Bad people, yes. But not unforgivable

Steve

Well even if so, that's sickening in it's own right. Even if he hates himself for it, it doesn't make it any less despicable.

Steve

Regardless of whether or not it was done out of love, does not really save face. As someone who's also acted "irrationally" out of love. It's not a good look. Can't say I fault them, because I understand. But it doesn't free them from the responsibility they both have to take for all of this. And personally I think death would be letting them off easy. Is that rich coming from me? Perhaps. But I stand by what I say

Steve

Of course they are not the lone faults, but they're close enough to the top of that pyramid in my eyes. Especially Cassandra.

Steve

I have a new found appreciation for Frank. My original view on him was warped somewhat by misguided and feeble opinions. He too, like Allister, has a pure heart... Well as pure as it can be, given what he's had to deal with. I genuinely feel bad for him and I wish nothing but the best for him in the end

Xeralex

Ok just realised something. What if the anothermeeoone agent is also a program like Hugo is….? Like they say he was killed by Orlando at the beginning so I hat if something happen and it gave birth to him I wonder 🤔

Rodney Talon

Ah, thought sympathetic to otis with comment not condemning

Robert Smith

The rune that is glowing is the Athame one- so yeah, that is the uhhh.. one that might cause issues

Rodney Talon

Argh i misread, or cynically jumped the gun on "otis" last update His father wasn't necessarily selling his people out. He was oart, victim, of a protection racket while being cucked by one of his extorters, two dirty cops wolf/husky and bulldog. Hence otis's zealotry against cannibals and attempt to be perfect father wanted to be. But he was very gay and self castigating...which okay mommy 'was a slut' daddy was a wimp Issues so many issues

Rodney Talon

Which updates have otis appear?

Robert Smith

So we know he has appeared as the hacker at every 5pm update- some kind of fake Otis has appeared throughout the end of the time at the Pub with Frank, and at the Manimal Factory on Monday at 8pm. The weird Otis also appeared at midnight on Tuesday at the server- and his influence has been growing stronger in the past few updates, like his presence in the smoke OH and I completely forgot the one time we saw this Otis before, at like 2am on Tuesday?

Blade G Shepherd

Aww Agent O is so adorable, the poor ham ham needs a hug 😭. I also adore Odhran’s close up, it was so sweet. I think this is the first time we have seen him lose his cool.

Robert Smith

OH DUH this is about how the Fire is moving over to Allister... God I'm stupid. Even the beams of light are targeting him...

Robert Smith

OH AND THE I'VE MADE MY CHOICE. That is the Fire speaking- having chosen which vessel he is going to possess

JBearWA

The Fire (sentient AI program maybe magical?) definitely going to a new vessel in Allister, via the multiple orgasms feeding the change. The other chosen one would’ve been getting somebody as close to Otis as possible - which would’ve been Frank. Thus the two chosen ones and why Otis says that he’s already made his choice while feeding Allister multiple orgasms. Probably because the father is being used up Intellectually, emotionally and Physically so the sentient AI needs a new host for new avenues as mentioned above. Otis helped picked these two because of he has a real fondness or love for Allister and the love for his son. And who knows maybe the father felt these two could be the biggest chance for his freedom and salvation. As stated above I agree that the ruins are a trap to ensnare the sentient AI program and free Otis. Did anybody else noticed that the silhouette fucking Frank’s other form in the mouth looks like maybe a pig as well? Daddy issues maybe? It might end up being a three-way with Frank and Allister freeing Otis through love. The AI program being stopped because it can’t handle real emotion. (A thought). Fire of destruction and lust passion turned into the purity of bonding within light and love. And I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned the wonderful way Frank temptation fantasy was a scene out of beauty and the beast’s Be my guest! “Try the grey ass, it’s delicious!” Fantastic hot idea and art!! Even has the multiple eruptionIng champagne during orgasm! I must say that was pure genius as is the whole story arc! The last thing I want to point out is I absolutely adore all the comments and the story arcs that everybody wants to put in! It’s been a joy to read this and experience it with everybody. I love this book and I hope you publish it after this.

Becquerel

Oooooo, I like the surreal imagery in this one. The sort of dream-like scene with Frank and Hugo and what it looked like before was certainly intriguing. This is getting interesting for sure
