Am I the only one who thinks its a bit weird to eat something you can talk to? Its not exactly cannibalism if its a different species, but wisps are sentient afterall. Eating a sentient creature is the goal of a lot of Looney Tunes characters. Bugs being able to talk doesn't stop them. Why, this sounds like a GREAT analogy! Let's try it:
Okay kids, so you know how Elmer Fudd is always trying to hunt Bugs Bunny, leading to tons of fun hijinks for everyone as Bugs totally tricks him? Now, let's all carefully picture in our minds eye an actual episode of Looney Tunes where Elmer just SHOOTS Bugs DEAD, and then just walks up and starts EATING HIM RAW. Cartoon blood and guts spraying everywhere, noisy smacking and crunching noises throughout as goofy ol' Elmer chews through the poor wabbit's raw flesh and bones, his steaming corpse lying there in full view so we can all watch the steady progression of his gruesome dismemberment. And then the episode just ends there.

It's always chompo where wisps are concerned, isn't it? They are the size of geese, too slow/clumsy to evade a kick when in flight… and seem to be rather tasty. So yes. |

Welcome to the forum, bikerbird ! He's said as much, back when he showed Annie he froze the Forest. And while he might have some advantage in lying about that by dodging responsibility for stuff that happens I don't think he'd lie about something like this. He wants to show off how powerful he is. |

Also, the bandage went on a coffee break in the flashback and didn't return in time for the last two panels. To be fair, she was unharmed and her hair was longer at the flashback and if you squint enough the bandage might not be visible in the last panel |

So… time to try cooked wisp? She got lost? After all, she used to live in a forest, not a maze of twisted passages, all alike. That one tunnel closed? She thinks it's still all frozen on the other side? And at least the third thought is very probably completely right. Yeah, she doesn't really have a solid reason to try and get back. |

Her eye looks worse and worse. That degree of swelling is generally a broken orbital at the least, clearly she can't see out of it, but the overall pain must be high as well. Ad for eating the land lobsters, probably not bad. Bugs tend to be tasty. I didn't like tarantulas, but don't even recall the taste, it was the texture of the body that had me unhappy. quite squishy/fluid filled, not like muscle/meat. Legs were just fine, the crunch of the exo skeleton was actually nice when roasted.
As for her being a plant, she comes from the forest and is green, so who knows. We'll see if she helps them leaf

Why would Elmer eat him raw; is he such a barbarian?
Was thinking the same thing. But yes, it seems many, if not all, animals in Gillitie are sentient and able to talk (in their own language at least), and if you have to kill the wisps anyway lest you get killed by them... Think of it like not being vegan in the Pokémon universe Being vegan means you can still eat plant Pokémon, right? Anyway, most of the things cannot speak, just make noises after which they are named.  I am a little curious why she didn't try to bypass the patrols and go deeper into the Court in search of better conditions and maybe find potential allies among the general Court population You are right, should she not know there are lots of former fairies and animals living in the Court who might be happy to help her out? Of course, she could just be convinced those are traitors and not to be trusted. Idra's shirt pattern looks familiar. Good catch! |

Anyway, most of the things cannot speak, just make noises after which they are named. I chose the vegan terminology specifically for their primary concern of avoiding cruelty to sentient beings and nature as a whole. Eating vegetables is just a side effect of said philosophy. A vegetarian wouldn't have a problem eating a "plant" pokémon as much as a vegan would have little worries about eating lab grown meat (aside from it spending even more resources to grow than regular meat) Anyway, the main reason I pointed this show out is because usually humans are weirded out by eating their pets and not that much about things we consider livestock and every single pokémon is a potential pet (and a slave fighter, yeah... Humans in Pokémon are even worse than us) |

It must be pretty bad else she'd stay in the woods instead of braving the post-(semi)apocalyptic Court disaster zone and the patrols and creatures. I am a little curious why she didn't try to bypass the patrols and go deeper into the Court in search of better conditions and maybe find potential allies among the general Court population, but I suppose she has wisps to hunt and eat where she's at and wouldn't know how to go about getting food in the Court otherwise. It looks far-fetched. As far as she's concerned, the Court may be as wide as Gilittie Forest, consist mostly of broken and unbroken concrete, with people further in as upset and flinchy as patrol guys she have seen, which probably only get more frequent. If she was desperate, maybe. But right here, yes, she at least had some wisps. See?! It's totally not disturbing or horrifying in any way, you guys! Why would it be? Except to the wabbits, anyway. |
