[ read the whole comic now! available for $5 ]
visual description: The fourth page of Afterhour Adjustments. pebble is lifted off the ground with strange blue magic, appearing worried. laid back rascal casually floats in front of her, not appearing worried whatsoever. "please let me go?? I don't know what this is about but I really have to go now!" (she continues rambling). Rascal responds with "heh~ you talk too much!" placing both its hands on the front of pebble's snout, catching her off guard, it conitinues "no more of that~ ever... AGAIN!" as it says the last bit it pulls back, seemingly turning pebble's snout into goop, parts of it flying off of pebble's face, she appears pretty shocked by it. the blue magic dissipates and she's dropped to the ground. she appears panicked as she grabs onto her snout, feeling it, noticing that her mouth is gone! still panicked, she points to her snout, waving her other hand around, looking at rascal, thinking "What did you do to me?!?!"

it's complicated, i'll address this because i don't want my art to cause distress
(minor spoilers ahead)
i think it's pretty clear that the comic is exploring a fantasy of mine. something i struggle with a lot is doing things and making decisions that would make me happy if they come at the cost of inconveniencing others. a change like this is not something comic pebble would have ever agreed to, not because she doesn't want it or because it'd make her unhappy, but because like me she prioritizes others' comfort over her own well being. rascal (the blue thing) knows this, and it makes the choice for her, helping her by intervening in a way that seems forced. due to its nature, rascal has intimate knowledge of comic pebble's wants and needs and desires, and it acts on the certain knowledge that once comic pebble experiences living like this for a while, if given the option when it happened, she'd have chosen to go through with this. i hope that makes sense.

Ah i see i see
I sorta figured Rascal would be something along those lines, but its cool to get some confirmation, even if a bit sad to have the reveal spoiled (I saw the spoiler tag, but i got curious)
Its interesting though, the idea of being able to peer into someone's inner workings and know for a fact what the "right" choice for them is and to be able to be 100% sure there will never be a time where they change in such a way that they would come to regret the choice.
I really hope i dont sound like i'm trying to tear this apart or that im being overly skeptical or contrarian, I really do enjoy this little story and have no actual issue with anything! Its just that this kind of "soul reading" or just having some amount of predetermined inflexible aspect of yourself that you're born with is something i've thought about a lot in my own stories :>

the only spoiler is that pebble is happy, the comic doesn't go into rascal's lore or anything like that
you're good, i didn't feel called out or anything like that but i am very insecure about most of the stuff i make and i feel the need to defend it
i'm not thinking of it as a an inflexible aspect, moreso like, an identity thing? like i've made permanent choices regarding my own anatomy in terms of transitioning that for all i know i may regret at some point in the future but it's a risk u gotta take for long term happiness, that kinda thing
i'm glad you're enjoying the story so far!
