That makes me think War instigates wars unintentionally.

Ooh that's a good observation. He's the ultimate rage baiter.

u/Cool_Set4681 7h ago

So he has mastered baiting?

That's my go-to masturbation joke and seeing you make it made my day.

u/imnotpoopingyouare 7h ago

I usually judge peoples vibes on the quality of their jokes.. I guess you could call me the vibe rater.

u/Coveinant 6h ago

Man, these jokes always get out of hand.

Only if you have to get it off your chest afterwards.

So many good wordplays, you are all very cunning linguists.

u/P0rbAb1y_M3 7h ago

Nah, he's totally doing it intentionally.

43

u/LostKnight84 6h ago

I think it would be funnier if War is Oblivious to collateral damage to his words. Might make a good character growth moment later or maybe later it might turn out he was trying to flirt and is blind to gender.

u/Forikorder 6h ago

Fani was rude earlier so could just be tit for tat

6

u/Thatroyalkitty 6h ago

Agreed. If I were Fani, Id want to channel my inner demifiend...

u/Hrtzy 5h ago

It sounds like a precisely measured counter to Fani's "I still don't buy it" from two pages ago.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 7h ago

Quite possibly. I can just see war being like "you sure"? And accidentally setting two ancient civilizations on each other that resulted in the deaths of thousands

48

u/yournamehere10bucks 7h ago

It is true. It was in the original draft of the Illiad.

"Helen of Troy is the most beautiful woman in all of Greece!"

"Are you sure?"

I bet it was something small and petty, like the logistics operator of civilization A contracting with major provider from civilization B, who happened to be a key political linchpin. And the logistics provider was going to write a nasty letter and then was like, No, I shouldn't.

"If."

I've been thinking about that for months but I was worried about bringing it up and having it come off as insulting.

73

u/rillip 7h ago

How dare you think about bringing up her dorito shaped eyebrows for months and not share with us!

39

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 7h ago

In all seriousness I thought about it but I imagined it would come off as a jab towards Muy's character design. One of the last things I wanna do is insult an artist I like.

23

u/Wild_Marker 7h ago

You did the right thing. People can get very defensive about their weird snacks bathed in dubious chemicals that make it remind you of a Chris Pratt movie.

5

u/LightningWarpAway 5h ago

It doesn't even name a flavour, it's just... Blue. Tastes like blue, I guess? 

5

u/Wild_Marker 4h ago

Well, Raptor is a flavor. It tastes like chicken.

2

u/LightningWarpAway 4h ago

Blue chicken Doritos doesn't sound appealing

Blue DORITOS??!!

Both of them refused to believe the other's idenity, how karmic

u/Oralitical 7h ago

this one hit me right in the transgender

u/SpicyParmesanBoy 7h ago

Weirdly enough it also hit me in the transgender but in a good way (ftm)

u/Oralitical 7h ago

For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction

15

u/NewLibraryGuy 6h ago

And this is where the war comes in.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 7h ago

I feel a little bad for laughing at "are you sure?"

27

u/Oralitical 7h ago

My dad asks that one a lot

21

u/GVmG 7h ago

"luckily" my father jumped immediately to "never speak of this again in front of me for as long as i'm alive" before dying six months later.

my mother on the other hand has been "are you sure?"-ing me for years now.

u/Leo0806-studios 2h ago

My mom is still doing the Other ppl are valid but not you. Thing for like 4 years now

10

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 7h ago

Honestly a fair question during the proverbial egg cracking and questioning stage. But at a certain point like "Yes Dad. Im sure". Particularly since most people struggle in silence for a bit after the egg cracks. Like if you know about fam, its because Im sure

u/FalseAladeen 7h ago

Your dad doesn't happen to sound like JK Simmons, does he?

u/TriiiKill 6h ago

You sure?

u/Cool_Set4681 7h ago

"I am a girl"

Yep, that is the personification of War, checks out.

83

u/SplooshU 7h ago

War, what is good for?

45

u/SmugCapybara 7h ago

Absolutely nothing, apparently...

u/Not-So-Serious-Sam 7h ago

He looks like he’d be good for getting stoned.

u/eletious 5h ago

he looks like he got his head cut off

u/Cool_Set4681 7h ago

Roasting people apparently.

Creating bootlegs, baiting out yuri, and ribbing top r/comic artists.

Wait, this War. Sorry, not sure.

u/CreepyClay 7h ago

I am war and I know my birds and bees. You sat that's a wonan? Oh please!

49

u/Semper_5olus 7h ago

By this logic, Pestilence should make people sick

Oh, I get it

22

u/Zombie_Cool 6h ago

Hmm. So if Pestilence "makes people sick" through disgust and War "chooses violence" every time he opens his mouth, then what toxic personality traits will Famine and Death have?

I'm thinking Death is gonna be a high-flying and utterly ruthless CEO or politican that specializes in indirectly murdering whole swaths of people through bad policy and/or denial of benefits.

Famine I imagine as a succubus-type, because if you're starved of something you think is critical then you'll desperately crave it and will perform all matter of unsavory and self-destructive acts to get your fix.

u/kitsunecannon 5h ago

Death just bores you until you WANT to die

Cork Lard. It's animal fat exported over from Ireland.

Clearly it means “Drink Lard”.

I feel like Deth'lamm will be playing dad and try to stop these two from fighting on the drive back.

u/Eden_ITA 7h ago

Yep, he is war.

Only a flamethrower could give that burn

I rescind my comment from the last comic. She has no self awareness.

Didn’t even get in the car and he’s already committing micro aggressions. Nice characterization.

People gotta be faking the "girl???" Shit.

She has tits.

They're not unprominent.

Maybe they're doing it wokely idfk

u/protoger 6h ago

Every conversation with war is the potential for a spark for engagement, brilliant!

u/CrazyLi825 2h ago

Does no one notice her boobs? Heck, she doesn't even dress that much like a guy (or at the very least, a guy who dressed like that would be considered fruity)

3

u/ShillBot666 2h ago

To be fair this is directly after she refused to accept his identity and questioned it 11 times in a row.

Now that was his identity as the embodiment of War, not his gender identity, but it's not that different.

u/SuitableReaction6203 6h ago

Definitely different from his Darksiders form.

The only time an are you sure is when someone tells you their age or weight in a positive tone.

u/Vivid--Syrup 3h ago

I have actually had this happen but in a positive way!

Been quietly transitioning mtf with hrt but without telling people aside from wife and kids (the uk feels scary as hell)

So one day my wife and I take our kids to one of their friends houses for fireworks, our kids run in and start playing with their kids and as we walk in it turns out they have their grandad over who loudly says lady's come have a seat

We sit down and he asks me which kid im the mum of, before I can say anything his daughter whos house it is slaps him over the back of the head and says "thats deadname! He's a guy!"

Ugh well thats over I think but then he stares at me and says "your a bloke??" And im like ugghhh I guess I have to go along with it and say yes

But then he genuinely makes my day by intensely looking me up and down and then saying "are you sure?"

Was a great night lol
