YAY KURT IS OK!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

Brooding

KURT SAVED. EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY! Great update!

Cross

Father Star: Cleric. Wolf and Dom have the other Cherry. I know y'all're under a lot of pressure, but take a deep breath and lead your group out of here. The other stars can get the rest. I know you can do it, Son.

HimboBarret

Hedonism Star To Archdruid. Man Forget these Guy's! I say you Go down there and Guide our Party To Safety or send a Part of yourself to do it. You seem more willing to act then they are so get Active. And maybe have a bit of Sex With them while your down there I Know your Ass Could use a Good pounding. Action: Show Archdruid a Vision of Him riding & Blowing our Party

Monu

Peace Star: "I believe all the lost around here are all unconscious. If everyone is to make a safe escape, it'll have to be now."

Hinner

The Star of Lost Causes: "OK ENOUGH. Alright, ok, we've all had our fun, now let me MAKE SURE everyone will be able to gather together again. No more shenanigans." *I know teleportation is not my domain, that's not what I want to do necessarily. I just want to prevent them from being intercepted/interrupted/held back in any way from regrouping as fast as possible, the last thing we need is some plot device forcing everyone apart after all these revelations. But knowing this is a prime opportunity for a plot device forcing them apart after all these revelations is what makes this a lost cause.*

Plowshare-Plague

Nice update. Very interesting that hitting Cherry/Zenion in that state would affect all the lost in the same way. I also feel like we should probably try to find some way of reffering to them that won’t offend them. After all it seems like this god truly wants to be Cherry, but simply calling him Cherry will be confusing.

jaquane patterson

R.N.G Star: Well that’s one way to use a staff greenie magi, hope you take some time to train your spellcasting with it in the meantime a little speed for the need. Action: Create a iron wheelbarrow with pillows and a blanket inside to put cherry in and grant Dominic and Wolf super speed and stamina.

Hinner

And if they're forced apart even with my intervention I just want my star to say: "Gods damn it!!!"

Khorax

What a fantastic and riveting update! I absolutely love the direction this is going in, and love the mixture of horny and body horror. Thank you so much for the hard work you did on this. Also, that panel on pg 11. Magnificent. Almost looks like a Greek statue and I very much marvel at the skill it must have taken to get that right. Thank you!

Robert Smith

Past my initial yaaayyy thoughts time! Kurt's flowers save the day! Interesting that the flowers worked but Dr Cleric's spell did not- I wonder if his crisis of faith is affecting his magic. So Cherry/Red/Zenion seems to be having an extremely strong identity crisis. Is this a result of whatever Red did, blending him and Zenion? Creating a being that is neither of them, but also desperate to have an identity. It is interesting that Cherry/Zenion is like... still trying to be Cherry, when we are pretty sure that Beast!Cherry is Cherry. But also isn't Cherry at the same time. Many Cherry hahaha. It seems to be rolling based on Cherry's stats- is it the STAIN stat of Cherry essentially separated out from him? Dom talks about the 'real' Cherry- but genuinely what is that? Is it the memories that Cherry has accumulated? Or is it the body that is Cherry? Wolf calls it just a monster, but Cherry is definitely in there somewhere. Interesting the Arbiters call it a trap - and honestly the Archdruid is currently the most honest, but I don't trust him either. Just pointing out they are being hypocrites doesn't make him trustworthy. Interesting that High Wizard doesn't want to stop violence... what is his deal? Unless he sees the potential for the prophecy to be fucked up here, so doesn't want to risk a reset. Interesting that I think Zenion and Red are kind of fighting one another? It seems that Zenion is the aggressive force, and Red is a more... passive force attempting to escape destiny in some way? That makes sense with the idea of a time loop- if Red wants to neither be an Arbiter or a God, putting himself in a situation where time constantly resets when he might leave that state makes a lot of sense. And we see some of the Zero Four! Interesting it mentions 'may your love last forever' - was Zenion still alive at this point? Or is that the Gods calling on his power? Everyone taking damage... anyone connected to Zenion and the Heat seemed to have been damaged by it- and that Margaret and Curly took damage makes be feel that they are children of Gods as well. Interesting that Milo doesn't seem to have taken damage, although it is claimed his curses were connected to the Heat- was that a lie, in which case? It seems like there is something going on there- I need to think a bit more as to why that might be.

Steve

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Plowshare-Plague

Rainfall Star: Good job Dominic, I’m very glad you went with Wolf to get this part of Cherry. I don’t think the two of them could have resolved things nearly as well without you. But what we saw confirmed to me that this Cherry and the beast Cherry are supposed to be together. They’ve been together for a very long time after all, and though I can’t explain why I believe this, but I am reasonably certain those two have been one for potentially millenia. So please, lets undo this division and grant the god’s prayer.

Robert Smith

It seems to be because that is Zenion, anyone CONNECTED to Zenion was thus damaged. Killing that creature might kill all the Gods and Lost. Interesting dilemma for the future.

Reindeercurt

would it really be a blazingcheeks story without a supernatural force creating a network that connects dozens of minds?

Plowshare-Plague

I believe they mentioned this already. But for some reason even attempting to interfere themselves will cause things to go badly enough they have to reset. Similarly if no one interferes they will have to reset. Hence why they contracted us. But that does beg the question of why the hell can’t they keep the prophecy from occuring? Probably one of the big reveals we’ll get towards the end of the comic but I’m still very curious.

Plowshare-Plague

Well, not the other gods at least I think. They aren’t connected to the blood of Zenion after all.

Robert Smith

Additional thought- I wonder if Milo and Sylvia were attempts by the Gods to create versions/ bodies for themselves untainted by Zenion. So of course Fredrik would go crazy when his puppet that he might want to possess is developing free will

HimboBarret

There's strength in Numbers and If they Jump in and Things Go Bad we'll be There to help this time. Although you have Given me an idea~

Alan

Oh, there is SO MUCH to unpack here

Robert Smith

Windchime Star- (whispering to Wolf and Dominic) Hey handsome and himbo. Smacking the Zenion cutie... that wounded all the Lost. And the Gods. If... you want to keep the cutie safe... DON'T tell anyone how you subdued him. It won't take a genius to work things out... and then people might extrapolate how to get rid of the Lost. PERMANENTLY.

Robert Smith

We love another corrupted ARK network storing everyone in it!

ItsHypnoFuckBees

Memories Star: "Cherry. I will do anything I can to make sure you stay you, and separate from whoever else might be in your body or mind or soul or... whatever. Just stay calm and breathe through it, there's ways you can deal with all of this."

Henry Whiteman

Invention Star: Gladiolus Kurteous, I mean Kurt how do you feel~? Tell us what you saw in the depth of the infection~

Robert Smith

Also more thoughts on the Arbiter's motives- their goal by breaking the prophecy,I think, is to forcibly reascend Red, so they are no longer constrained to the narrative flow linearly. If Red gets his way, and stays on Vidora, they have lost 1/4 of their power.

RiceballSama

Heroism Star: I'm glad things for the most part worked out. However all of you must steel yourselves. Lost roam on the outside, so you may be forced into another struggle on your way out, I'd hope you all have a strategy?

Joehar Zalaam

Shield Star: Ah, you guys are exposed now. Here's something to cover you guys up. Action: Create some armour and/or clothing for them to wear.

Robert Smith

It is wild that Archdruid is the only Arbiter I trust rn dfrggrggth

Blade G Shepherd

Star of Desires: To Kurt: “My precious hunk, my hearts desire, you are a strong and powerful warrior and have done well in the field of battle. Allow me to grant you the strength your body is aching for. With this generous gift I bestow upon you I will always be with you in warm embrace and will always be there to allow your desires to flourish. Consider them granted my sweet Kurt. Love you.” Action: Brand Kurt with a Desires star tattoo in between his tits (The branding doesn’t hurt at all and feels very pleasureful and relaxing) , the Desires stars powers flows through his body thanks to the tattoo as long as it remains on him, giving him a strength boost as his muscles bulge and grow. His ego stat (Unique stat) also receives a boost as well. The tattoo will also provide Kurt with a strong sense of warmth and relaxation, like he is being embraced in a warm hug.

Robert Smith

Urrgghh sorry more thoughts. It is notable that Beast!Cherry being near the flowers is what seems to suppress Zenion!Cherry. Which implies a strong link

Xeralex

My theory is this. Cherry is like the next in line to become Zenion, and red is inside him too. Atleast a part of him. And Zenion, is the stain. Not the whole Zenion, just a part of him, a part that desires to end the cycle with any means.... Means that after who knows how long torment might have lead to the truth birth of the Heat, a power that wishes to destroy the world. And if that was not enough proof, we must consider Curly's warning "It walks once more"... Could it be, the Heart of Zenion...!?!?!

Reindeercurt

My read on the divide, or lack thereof, between the three is this: Red has clearly rejected the status of either god or arbiter, and wants to be "normal", presumably the way he was before his quest. I think Cherry is his way of doing that. Cherry was likely born as a "clone" of Red through some magical means, and has just lived unaware that his template's consciousness is piggybacking in his brain. Consequently, "Red" now has memories of his own life as well as everything he's seen through Cherry's eyes, leading to his identity confusion. As for Zenion, they seem to have been bound to Red before even that, but they also seem to only be capable of mildly asserting their own will. Hell, all of the "god text" seems to be specifically from Red, never Zenion.

Robert Smith

Oh interesting point on the God Text! I didn't notice that, but you are right. I guess maybe Red subdued the remnants of Zenion to his will in order to forcibly hide himself from the Arbiters and create the Prophecy? Agreed re Red and confusion- I feel like Zenion!Cherry is very much only Red and Zenion- but Red would *like* to be Cherry so bad he is trying to convince himself with Cherry's memories. It is notable that Wolf SUCCEEDED an intelligence check to point out that 'that is not Cherry', and I think we should take that at face value

Xeralex

Whispering along Windchime star To Wolf and Dominic: It's true Master Wolf! We saw it! Beast Cherry, Kurt, The lost outside, even Curly and the Gods... They all bled! There is no doubt... Cherry's stain is connected with Zenion...! The secret to end the Heat, and the cycle of the gods, once and for all...!

Robert Smith

Oh I definitely agree the thing that Curly thinks is walking once more is Zenion

HimboBarret

He's my Spirit animals so I trust every word he says

Randastasius

Inspiration Star: Such a touching gift dear brother of mine, to protect the one you care so foundly for. I feel so inspired to give your cute sexy stud a gift of my own. Take this Kurt, a cloak to ease the symptoms of your recent encounter. Action: create a cloak based off the flowers that Kurt loves in order to aid in cleansing any remaining corruptions, also smells like lavendya.

Rick Whitechest

Just how many people got hit on the head? Gosh.

Adam

Blood Star: Ow, that looked painful— here, let me patch that up for you… Action: Reverse the flow of blood from the wounds on Beast Cherry's and Kurt's heads, and clot the area around the wounds, to prevent further bleeding.

Rick Whitechest

Covetous Star: Gathering and hoarding is my domain, and so I contribute to this cause to bring everyone together as soon as possible!

Crowbar

Hn. Lick Cherry's belly NOw

NethGooRat

ok so like, I dont think I read this? but idk where I would have gotten this idea, my understanding of things is that Red started out as a mage, ascended to become an Arbiter and then ascended again to become Zenion. is that wrong?? which is why he's all of these people i cant find where i read it in this comic so im just gonna assume i made it up and its not the case

Robert Smith

I think Zenion is definitely a different creature because it is suggested he existed as a God before Red 'existed' as a Mage - he was one of the original Gods, who the Arbiters have seemingly opposed in the past. Re Ascension to Arbiter-hood, harder to tell how that occurred. The Arbiters kinda suggest in an earlier update when talking about whether Cherry might ascend that if he was going to, he would have already done so, kinda suggesting Red was always an Arbiter in some kind of meta sense, but maybe needed to exist on Vidora for that to occur.

NethGooRat

Midnight Star: to Wolf Well done, you did the mission. Don't dwell on those memories yet, you can digest what just happened when everyone is safe. Time to unite both Cherry's! (action: Maybe help suppress Wolf's emotional thoughts (if he so wishes) so he can focus on the task at hand.)

Gatlin

Nexus Star: You need help with that, allow me. *Teleport everyone together and someplace safe.*

Sad Dragon

Impish star: "Hitting that Cherry looking guy seemed to hurt a bunch of other baddies in the area... you should hit him again! Or maybe just use a status effect move..." (Either beat up whatever the Cherry guy is or my Star just gives him something like "Binding Flames")

cherrydad

HUNGRY STAR (to Cherry): Cherry Boulderbelt, Son of Hamza and Altair. You need not wish on every star in the sky, for I am your patron. May your prayers be heard. ACTION: Aid in restoring Cherry's body back with his Beast form. // OOC: Maybe I'm jumping the gun a little here but it's the end of the Episode. Never got to SupSub's friends or got to talking with Cherry's parents but WCYD... even if the action doesn't apply, the dialogue is what matters most. I just wish to *affirm cherry* as he requested.

Cid

Tranquility Star: My precious Dr. Cleric, get a hold of yourself. Now is not the time to be preoccupied with thoughts of blood. I am curious about any information you have on the god, Frederik. What type of deity is he, and how would we go about contacting him if we decided to take that plan of action?

Gatlin

Nexus Star:(To Cleric) Hang on Cleric, take these. *Give Cleric a warp bandages, healing potion, relaxation potion, and new glasses that boost his restraint.* Nexus Star:(To Cleric) Put those glasses on, it should prevent you from going blood thirsty again.

Rycanrok

Chance Star: "Hey dudes, I think you all should get out of there while you still have a chance, don't want to risk your hand if ya feel me. Take this." Action: Summons a potion that will grant a Movement speed buff but has a chance to trigger a side-effect

Jr7LuckyCoruki

(For in case the group gets back together and must exit the dungeon with haste.) Performer's Star: Glad you all managed to get through this all, brings a tear to such a performance. However, like any show, time to make an exit out of here. May my ribbons help aid in your stage exit heroes huhuhu~ Action: *Give them all aerial ribbons to hold onto like an acrobatic. Once they all get a firm grip, I use my powers to help lift them up out of the dungeon and flow closer to the exit.*

cherrydad

When it comes to the real Cherry....like Steven Universe, we can theorize who or what the real Cherry is. Doesnt matter. He is just him. It shouldnt take splitting him in half or removing his proverbial gem from him to realize that. All this talk of Zenion and Red, when we should just let him be him.

Plowshare-Plague

Some ideas I had for side effects: Turn purple Feel like a dick is fucking your ass Asscheeks clap when moving Must start singing inner monologue aloud Get a tattoo of a lamppost on your bicep.

Robert Smith

If you look at the end of the update, the Father God is wounded in the same way the Lost were. They all ate Zenion, so they are all connected to him- I think they would at least be wounded by Cherry's death. Probably why they are so desperate to capture him!

Xeralex

True. After all this event I have a big feeling that cherry is a bit like naruto right now. He is the son of a great powerful person, but end up being vessel for a greater power too. To make it simpler, I believe Cherry is naruto, red is Minato, that has sealed a small part of him inside his son, and stain/ zenion is Kurama.

Plowshare-Plague

Huh, you’re right. I missed the detail of the father god being hurt. I thought he was standing there unharmed since I didn’t see a damage number beside his head. Thanks for pointing out he was hurt.

Leo Once3333

Judgement Star: You'd be wise to take precautions.

Rodney Talon

I wish to ibsefve/track the link between this injury and it's translation to others. Can you aid that action?

Rodney Talon

At least all lost, one deity.

Rodney Talon

I wish to examine and exploit this connection to draw intelligence and observe.

Rodney Talon

[May revise this down] Iwapele (to Dom, Cherry, Kurt, Wolf, Cleric): " I need to learn from you all, to be able as you are for each other through mystery and harm. Heads up (relays news of the shared injury effect as performs action) Action: Mark the unconscious at his injury with my symbol. This is balance-nulling the link to understanding and communication, not further harm. Observe, perceive, and investigate what & how happened from the Cherry/Red/Zenion/??? Follow and find the connection, work simultaneously on Beast!Cherry and Kurt and the horde outside, if this leads to Enzo's strange sword mark and scan that, if can do so to Margaret & Curly definitely, then finally the gods. I offer stars and the party members whatever aid abd findings my extrasensory perception and touch of this metaphysical phenomenon can share. )

Rycanrok

Man I'm just imagining the Metal Pipe sound effect being played over and over again lmao

Fe5ter

Lodestone Star: "Do you hear that? This 'Mess Hall' seem to served another purpose than just a feeding ground for 'The Faculty and Students'... investigate the adjoining Kitchen." (Direct Dom and Wolf's attention to the Kitchen's traffic door where the duo will then witness an unsettling sight as the formerly captive Adventurers, the remaining friends of Supe, engaged in an intense yet passionate orgy among themselves having failed their Willpower Checks within the Love God's AoE. Their bodies drenched with sweat, seminal fluid and the iridescent blood of the recently imploded Lunch Lady, the Dungeon of Education's Broodmother.)

Alan

Library Star: (To Dominic) How curious that the Father of our favorite dwarf holds the title of Arbiter. One apparently shared by others. What know you of such matters?

Alan

Wonderful update as always. Cherry is an anomaly wrapped in an enigma, with a side of mystery and a large intrigue.

Dark627

Dragon star: wolf, something has cause damage to all the lost creatures. Please hurry to cherry and maybe get out here as soon as possible.

cherrydad

that's a mental link between zenion and all the lost creatures, the hit from dom reverberated out to them

Dark627

Ah thank you

Zen Furo

Occult Star: (To the arbiters) That was a fun reveal about you guys, wasn't it? Now why not explain the fourth arbiter? Surely it will be helpful if we learn more about Red, or Zenion, or whoever Cherry's soul passengers are, correct? Or maybe explain the other three arbiters who bear a very uncanny resemblance to you three "observers of the world"?

rawr7

Put your grasses on, nothing will be wrong

Reindeercurt

Dream Star (To Arbiters): "If you knew Red, or at least knew what happened to him, you should have told us. You all have been cryptic at our heroes' expense for long enough."

Asher Heart

Submission Star: “Oooooh! Excellent work Wild Cherry, heehee! A strategic knob-slobbing! Swallow that load with gusto, and receive my blessing!” [ Action: By swallowing Flower Kurt’s Lost-infected load, Beast Cherry receives the effect “A Drop Not Wasted”- which restores a portion of health, grants him a number of Temporary Hit Points, and temporarily gives him 1/2 resistance to Attacks and Effects from other Lost. ]

Fe5ter

[Spitters are Quitters]

rawr7

Calculating Star: "That guy is right, but wrong. If anything that happens to Cherry reflects onto the Lost, why not shove some of the cleric's flowers in his mouth and call the dungeon a wrap?"
