So here's a question... is Maytag a sociopath.. or a psychopath? 

Sociopathy's usually undergo some trauma as a child that conditions their brain not to form emotional attachments for self-preservation.  But a psychopath is born with a brain that does not process emotion at all.  By Maytag's claims she 'acts' normal because she knows to succeed at society it is necessary to 'seem' to form emotional attachments and react the way others expect her too ~ when in truth there is only a void of emotion within her...

So what does that say about her "feelings" for Bernadette?

Sociopaths 'can' form emotional attachments with time and effort.. the brain circuitry is still there they just have been traumatized to avoid working as the brain keep telling them to survive they must not form such attachments...

But a psychopath feels nothing and does not understand why they should... literally they do not care ~ the brain circuitry is not there to begin with.

So which is Maytag?

Muct be a brief bit or absolute terror and pain then dispair to approach her before the elevator enters the "eye"... can you imagine experiencing that riding a elevator up without the ability to stop it?  The "elevator" must be enclosed and set on automatic - not under the rider's control to force them to enter 'the eye', cause I'd think you'd have to be afraid of folks leaping off the platform in shear panic as it rose to her floating home!

True, but my point is a knife is obvious... a drink poured in a cup for you is not.  A knife can be parried or blocked... but a splash of something highly corrosive or toxic.. you MUST dodge as contact of ANY sort could be deadly.

Y'know.. I agree with that... the more they say Maytag is being protected the more I'm getting uneasy.  Which begs the question.. 'Protected? From What, for god's Sake?!?'

Well I hope ~ Polly does not overthink Bernadette too much.  Bern returns home.. in shame ..as she must admit to her truest and dearest Maytag.. that SHE her Bernadette.. who has always portrayed a image of stable, serious, devotion and moral certainty.. has been infidelitous to her love?  I'm sure Bernadette feels like a traitor to Maytag... and is a long way from forgiving herself!
BUT... she has Polly with her.. she Wants Polly with her... Bern does not blame Polly and the fact that Polly is with her says no matter if Maytag forgives her or not... Bern has decided Polly is going to be a part of her life now!

I hope Polly understands how significant Bern wanting her with her is!  THAT is Love.  That is Devotion.. though Bern is not one for long-winded dialogue.. her actions speak volumes.  Bernadette knows in her heart she loves Both Maytag.. AND Polly.

I just hope Polly gives her a chance to express that.

@ Bulma ~ Close, but I don't think that's quite it.  I think the Thin-Man Lehm... realized that the secrets to the nature of magic and the world in-general are possibly concealed in locale that seem to be inimicle to normal mortal life.  Discovering the pit and it mysterious nature and qualities made Lehm send Melter to the pit with Mary to try to asertain it's nature, just like we conjecture Lehm used Mary for the dark passage. Fortunately this pit obstacle was purely a physical obstruction... meaning it inflicted raw damage upon anything living that tried to desend to its depths... nothing living made of flesh unaided by garden variety magic could survive to reach the bottom to learn of what it contained/concealed. So Lehm's magically created monter in the form of Mary was necessary to enchant/create to get something living that could survive to reach the bottom and report findings.  And even then... the only portions of Mary that reached the bottom of the pit was only a splattering of gore from her mangled and liquified body!  But apparently that is indeed enough for her to reform. It looks like Mary may have the ability to share the thoughts or perceptions of her duplicates.  Very interesting!

Ok... something does not add up...

Who or what gave Regina the Orb?  What was it or what was it supposed to do and did it do it?!?

Clearly... Suspiria had a classic emotional breakdown, and Moby is fast on the same route... but who WAS the guy in the prison?  Was he from the pit.. and Again.. what the fuck was the pit and what happened to the prisoneers fed to it?  I'd assume they are all dead... just like Buzz and Glyph... but does that mean the pit is a monster or a portal to a accursed or sentient realm?  WTF IS IT?!?

And Is it STILL a threat?

And for the record...what exactly was Melter there to accomplish.. resolve The Pit, Suspiria... ?  I think he told everyone he was there to observe Suspiria..but how did HE know she would be there?

I've been around relationships where the other person is like that.

It doesn't really matter whose fault it is. They're hurt and bothering them right then won't help. Usually at that point, I don't know what to do to help.

I know..right?  You want Sooo much to help.. but they won't have it.. all you can really do is keep an eye on them.. and be there when they are ready to open up... or really need you.

@ Brion - Yeah.. THAT would be cool!

Eh...

S-sso sorry Moby... but ~ this is ... kind of your fault.. YOU pushed the sorceress with the power to warp reality.. when the situation was under control.. she had captured and apprehended the villainous wizard in charge of the cells who clearly had been doing something wicked with the prisoners... feeding them to something!  But YOU pushed the confrontation THEN and THERE with her.  It should have been handled in a much more controlled and calm environment but YOU wanted to rubb her face in the fact she was shaping reality to fit her assumptions... which the jury is STILL out on whether she was wrong at all in my opinion ...but that's just me.  Confronting her in a dangerous situation and shattering her view of reality made her shape a horrid semi-reality that indeed KILLED a lot of your friends.. but again.. she was no more in control of that than you were!  The THIN man never gave her a choice about being boosted to have so much magic she could not control... the SAME thing could have happened to YOU!~  It was bad timing an badly done... Suspiria could have been talked down... in a more calm and controlled situation but YOU forced that then and there!  What did you expect would happen when the reality warping sorceress found out she was living with a lie and her reality was flawed?!?

Don't blame Crest for loving Suspiria... he offered the same sort of to you.. but YOU rejected it.

I just hope she does not do something to hurt herself.. I REALLY do feel for Moby!  She has just been through a harrowing experience... one she was certainly NOT emotionally prepared for!

@ Bulma :  Hmmm...possibly?  But I don't think Maytag is the type to use people like personal tools... when I say powerup.. I mean 'personal' self-possessed power... like Bern and Crest's swords and increased training.  But Honestly... I agree.. May's power has always been her social skills not only in reading people but being so unpredictable and unfathomly determined regardless of the personal cost to succeed... she will do things most sane people would never consider...

I agree wholehearted... this Web comic has not solely been about just Maytag... or Bernadette... but all three of the main characters, May, Bern, AND Crest! It has consistantly and in my opinion given equal screen time to all three of the main characters. Bern got her power up so has Crest... I'm kinda waiting for Maytag to get hers but she has proven time and again... that she is a remarkable woman of substance who takes on ALL challenges head on and her cunning and insightfulness ARE her greatest power...and as yet have proven Matchless!  I cannot wait to see Maytag, Bernadette, Polly, Crest and Suspira all together again fighting against the threats of the world!!!

So you have my vote of confidence, Brion...keep up the great writing!!

Blonde? http://flipside.keenspot.com/comic.php?i=2263 

But yeah, I kinda suspected you might like Moby, because there was the occasional hint here and there. Which is why I'm wondering if you believe that she messed up the whole thing by herself or if Suspiria's powers forced her to snap despite the sphere. I made a thread about it, because there are quite a bunch of things that seemed off in her behavior, even if you include the fact that joining Phalanx makes you dumb.
