Single. Best. Ending. Line. Ever. Please can a thought-form cake be an emoticon?
Yes Please!

Locke wrote:I don't understand this ending. There was no definite end to the story, it just jumped a long, long way and then stopped. I had to read it like four times before I understood it at all. I think there was way too much left open and unexplained between 229 and 230. The ending of Unicorn Jelly was purposely vague and that worked well for it, but it was certainly final, and even that had an epilogue. The happy end of PDH apparently takes place 100,000 years later and is more of a snapshot of another part of the character's lives already in progress... it doesn't seem final. And what the hell did they turn into.
The page before that where Heliotrope/Fuschia is falling and looking kind of mental is more of a sad ending. I wish there had been a couple of simple explanatory pages between that page and the one after it. Some narration or something, rather than leaving 100,000 years and a lot of closure for the characters up to the reader's imagination.

But the entire Multi-verse was only BARELY able to stop them the first time, and now they have that super power source. I dunno, it doesn't seem like the Ascended Tryst have super powers, even the McBurgers had trouble.

Er, "have"? According to Heliotrope, the Omnipitor's final form prunes down the cosmos as well as suckling it. The Ktlikitkak don't actually have root access to the device. I don't follow the rest. Tossing endless sentient uber-novas around and sailing the multiverse in your own personal cosmos seem like pretty impressive super powers to me.

Dan wrote:On pruning: I suspect this is not to scale. But it doesn't seem to show any change in Ktlikitkaktl's speed of growth after Fuschia and Heliotrope's location despite the presumed increase in energy. Nor does it show any more Mouth connections to other cosmoi. Looks like the Omnipitor ring took the place of the "fishing" while either the ring or some person stopped the existing energy drain (still going when Heliotrope flew to the ring).
You'll have to ask Jennifer about Ktlik ideology.

Um, being taken down a peg? Getting humbled? In fact, having the crap kicked out of you so bad that only one of you survives -- and that only because the crap-kicker decided to let that one live? Boy, if that happened to me, I think that would cure me of any delusions of godhood right quick!
