That’s what I’m getting. It’s an odd, conflicting moment. Like some bit of her seemed happy that Pasqualo was the chosen one or whatever and able to do things that aren’t preordained, but because she doesn’t operate independently of fate she still had to get pissy that it wasn’t her and try to punch God anyways and be erased.
We still don’t know what makes Pasqualo special here. I imagine it’s related to why Aurora was sent down to him after he prayed for a cure to his depression. I mean, no one else got a magical apocalypse waifu specially crafted just for them and there’s plenty of sad sacks on Earth
When she looks back at God when Pasq shows up, I feel like the smile was genuine, unlike the smirk when God was talking about Satan. Like God hoped Jen would be able to break free from what was coming with Pasq there. And it kind of falters when she has to delete Jen anyway. It’s either that or she knows what Jen is about to realize and is laughing at her. If the first, there’s still a chance that the It Hurts God is a decent being trapped in her own cycle like Aurora was, if the latter….well…not so much.
It feels like we’re missing a page between this one and the last. What exactly was Jen talking about for like the entirety of this page? What was her motivation at all, really? Everything up till now kind of made her look cruel and shallow and out to cause as much chaos as possible, but now suddenly she actually likes Pasqualo and has some grudge against god?
Yeah, I hope at least some of this is explained in the next few comics. I can’t really see Jen feeling any different about Pasqualo after his speech- nothing we’ve learned about her character suggests she’d give a shit what he had to say. In fact, her whole transformation into the Verminous Matron (and presumable dealings with Satan) haven’t been given quite enough attention thus far… Maybe that’s on purpose, I dunno.
You know, I reread this page again and it makes more sense from this angle: Jen was 100% sure that since she made that big speech about denying god and Satan listened to her and gave her these superpowers, it means she successfully denied fate. But then she saw that Pasq somehow made it from hell to heaven and realized it’s not her who’s the special one. She looks at god like “it’s not me, is it?”, and the god smiles back like “yup”.
I don’t exactly know why she was happy about it at first, though. Maybe that was her “proud” moment, akin to the one Dad had. Like “shit, my dumbass son is the one who bends the fate, wowsers”. But then her bitterness took over again, and she decided to make one last desperate attempt to change things.
…I could be completely wrong though lmao.
This is pretty accurate. Though I would argue that she’s more in shock than happy for Pasqualo. Jen wanted to be “the one” but she’s instantly defeated by the realization that even after all her efforts in life AND the afterlife, she is not. She cried on Pasqualo and held him just because he happened to be someone she could momentarily lean on.
Well I mean, she did smile in a bittersweet way when she said “I thought it was me”. But could be just a nervous laugh, now that you mention it. Without that panel, yeah, she looks shocked and disappointed all the way through.
Anyway, Jen confirmed for caring more about her own importance rather than listening to Pasqualo’s speech and changing the way she feels about him. Poor Pasq :'(
Someone earlier pointed out the possibility she’s actually on about Pasqualo being the one free of fate, rather than her. So her final It’s Not Fair!! Could be read as her still being a cold lil mmmmbitch
I feel like his mom personality might have changed a bit due to the apocalypse not mattering anymore since everyone is already dead. Now that there dead there is also less problems to keep her preoccupied or chained down. When she said its not fair its probably because she in their world she believe god did nothing but allow them all to die (probably since it seemed predestined). Pasqualo is the only one unchained by fate most likely because he’s been the most affected by it. Simply enough Pasqualo is free to change how things are supposed to go and his mother is mad that she can’t changed anything.
Is it me or does God look tired when she’s talking about Jen being an anomoly, then again just before and after she poofs Jen?
How long has this been going on?
Definitely looks either smirking or sad in the first, and sad-ish in the latter. I think she was really hoping that Pasq could derail Jen’s fate and She wouldn’t have to delete her.
Probably for a long time if Satan had to appoint a guard who’s balls would be cut off he let anyone unauthorized into heaven. There is also the fact like over 85% of the population tries to deny fate in some way and while some ways are drastic (like Jen’s) others are not.’
Rereading this for the fourth or fifth time and I just now realized that this hilltop and staircase echoes the one in the park where Pasqualo faced off against his mom last time. Goddamnit, Gob, you sure know how to twist the knife. So many great little details with the foreshadowing and callbacks throughout the comic.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh
by the way, what did she mean by “It’s you” and “I thought it was me”?
Is it that she believed that she was the one unchained by fate, only to realize that it was Pasqualo all along?

I’m way too confused to be sad about this.

That actually makes a lot more sense, yeah. I think when the story is finished it won’t feel quite as open to interpretation.

So was Jennifer the reincarnation of GD Pasqualo? The one with the desire to punch God in the face?
NO! NOT THE MILF!
FUCK YOU GOD!
Also wow I thought Jen was gonna be the final boss. Totally wrong there.
RIP Bondage Mum
Oh
Peng Mama, no!

AAAAAAAH FUCK YOU GOB I SEE THIS SHIT
Something about this is highly unsettling
😉
So that means we’ll finally solve for X and Y with the next update?
no. no. this isn’t algebra.
peng floyd
Sooo, what would Dad now say if he was asked who Pasq’s mom was? He wouldn’t find it weird that he can’t remember?
Damn can’t even get a happy ending in Heaven.
is it normal to want to have sex with pasqualo’s mom just asking for a friend
Gob how fucking dare you make me feel an emotional connection to a shitty ass piece of shitty shit like Jen, FUCK YOU GOB FOR THESE SADS I HAVE NOW
I guess you can say she just got rekt.
😉
That’s some amazing self reflection in panel 4. And man…that moment when Pasqualo arrived…perfect!
That part where she looks back at god and starts running up to screaming not fair, really understood that deep hang up that was fueled with anger.
Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good…
>anomaly
i-is that an Iji reference??
is there anything worse than god looking at you with an earnestly satisfied face knowing full well they are about to nixx you out of existence
