Since nasty Red Lobster is filling for bankruptcy we already know this is Alfred's least favorite, so...

(not my image found it on reddit)

again I'm only including places I've actually eaten at. (I've obviously eaten at more places but I tried to pick the ones all Americans SHOULD know, even if they've not eaten there they should know of it from ads or just hearing about it in passing.)

[phantomarine]

Could Cheth eat food before he was broken? Can he ate food if he wanted now? ... Would Cheline be offended if I offer her some chicken nuggets?

Cheth has indeed blessed his own food/drink already in the comic itself. It’s possible!

I don’t think he really ate things as the Bonefish - didn’t need it, and no digestive tract for it to go to. Maybe it would just go into the Mouth Void as energy? I dunno.

And Cheline would still try to reject any and all food - but she would be extra miffed about the nuggets, especially if they’re dinosaur shaped.

Phaedra's Loose in the Candlelight Sea

There’s a dead manta princess loose in the Candlelight Sea. I think eventually everything’s going to be okay, but I have no idea what’s going to happen next. And neither do any of you, and neither do your parents, because there’s a dead manta princess loose in the Candlelight Sea. It’s never happened before, no one knows what the princess is going to do next, least of all the princess. She’s never been a seaghost before, she’s as confused as you are.

There’s no experts. They try to find experts in the Red Tide. They’re like, “We’re joined now by a King-Admiral that once got murdered by the Fata Morgana.” Get out of here with that shit! We’ve all seen a murdered King-Admiral. This is a seaghost princess!

When a dead manta princess is loose in the Candlelight Sea, you got to stay updated. So all day long you float around, “What’d the princess do?” The updates, they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. It’ll be like, “The princess saved some sailors?” I didn’t know she knew how to do that.

The creepiest days are when you don’t hear from the princess at all. You’re down at the bottom of the sea like, “Hey, has anyone…Has anyone heard–” [imitates stabbing noises] Those are those quiet days when the Bonefish is like, “It looks like the princess has finally calmed down.” And then ten seconds later the princess is like, “I’m gonna run towards the ghost plesiosaur and decapitate it with my sword. I’ve got a nice sword and a knife, I’m Phaedra Philemon!”

That’s what I thought you’d say, you dumb fucking princess.

FISH KIN: With a donation by @checkeredtablesloth for @emma-the-rose, your fish kin is...

THE BONEFISH! These sneaky fish are prime targets for fly fishermen, and they're reportedly good eatin'. One thing they're known for, besides their incredibly badass name, is their skittish nature- bonefish are infamous for fleeing the scene if not fished for carefully, leading to fishermen calling them "grey ghosts". This is, of course, another badass name, making bonefish one of the most metal fish of all time. Thank you so much for your donation!!!

Beefleaf Prompt where...Qingxuan is stuck into her female form because He Xuan let her choose the gender that she wanted to have for the rest of her life.

Some time after the final fight, some pirates (or sailors) decide to sacrify this girl (who looks like the lady goddess of the wind) by marrying her to black water. So they would have a safe travel and will be able to pass near of his island without their ship being destroyed and them all killed.

After all their are legends who says that Black Water wanted the Lady of the Wind and that it's for that he killed the Water Master. Even if he has failed to have her after that.

Without the Water Master, sailors and pirates knows that they need to calm Black Water to travel in safety.

So those pirates/sailors think that this girl who look like the Lady of the Wind could be a nice gift!

They kidnap her and dress in wedding clothes, and when they pass near of He Xuan's island, they force her to bow like for a ceremony and threw her in the sea with some jewels and wine.

He asks his bonefishs and they explain she has been threw of a ship. So, of course,He Xuan destroys the ship. And steals their treasure to pay a part of his debt to Hua Cheng (even if he still absent right now).

When Shi Qingxuan wakes up, she is warm, in a comfy bed and sees He Xuan.

Even if she is scared, she knows she is probably alive thank to him.

Before she can say anything, He Xuan asks: "What are you doing here!?"

"You bring me in your home, I guess?"

"No what were you doing on the sea, near of my island?"

"I have been threw of a ship"

" I know that, what were you doing on this ship? Why were you in wedding clothes? Did a pirate forced you to marry him and when you refused he threw you on the sea?"

"They kidnapped me and...Haha you'll find that funny..."

"hu?"

"They decided to marry me to you, to make sure to have a safe travel"

"Well they have not....wait what do you mean they marry you to me?"

"don't worry i know you are not ok with it, they didn't ask for your opinion"" she laughs weakly, while being sad because of course he would be disgusted "like if anyone would want to marry me"

"actually i could give you reasons for why someone would want to marry you" He's offended that Qingxuan sees herself as someone who doesn't deserve to be happy.

"Ho?"

"but not me" *still in denial* Even after years of pretending, he's bad at liying here.

"ok ok" Qingxuan doesn't dare to laugh, because she isn't sure of how deal with his true temper, but hopes that he cares, even a little, for her and that he really likes her.

TGCF in Hua Cheng's POV?!

More likely than you think. Part 1, Book 1

---------------- “Crimson Rain,” Hua Cheng hears in his spiritual communication array. He’s been so bored lately. The only semi-interesting thing that had happened was him pummeling Qi Rong to the ground in his own city, so he’s excited to hear something.“I have good news for you,” he says. He more excited than usual. “So good that you have to contact me this way?” Hua Cheng says with a smirk. “To the point of having to use that stupid password, yes,” He Xuan probably rolls his eyes. “But I’ll get straight to the point. His Highness, the Crown Prince of Xianle, has ascended to Heaven once again.” Hua Cheng’s eyes go wide hearing that. His Royal Highness… Part of him wishes he found him earlier. The rest of him, however, is quietly celebrating. He brings his hand down from when it was resting on his temple and closes it into a fist. His head hangs down a little bit and he closes his eyes. He smiles- a true, genuine smile. It may be ugly, with too sharp teeth and crooked, but it’s genuine. It took so long… “Hua Cheng, what are you doing?” He Xuan’s annoying monotone voice breaks his euphoric stupor. Fuck He Xuan. “You don’t even know where he currently is.” “... Aren’t you going to tell me?” “Yes,” He Xuan says. How Hua Cheng can hear the joy in He Xuan’s voice. It’s uncharacteristic, but he doesn’t really care at the moment. “But not for free. He has caused quite the property damage from his ascension alone. Sent a clock flying towards General Xuan Zhen, destroyed General Nan Yang’s palace… He’s in a lot of debt. Now he’s doing a mission in the mortal realm to pay it off.” Hua Cheng thinks that this is very convenient. His good luck was actually worth something! “Hua Cheng, don’t you want to know where he-” “Free food, five months. I’ll feed your bonefish for two months. Anything else for them, one. Nothing to your debt.” “Ehem, pardon?” “You heard me. Do we have a deal, He Xuan?” “DEAL. He should be near the mountain of Yu Jun, at a tea shop… Small Shop of Chance Encounters. Fitting name, isn’t it? Anyway, he’s going to solving that Ghost Groom case some people were praying about. Maybe he’ll even ride in the bridal sedan…” “6 months of free food.” Hua Cheng can hear how much smile is in He Xuan’s voice. It’s disgusting, honestly, and he honestly pities him. That does not matter right now, however. What does matter is His Highness. He will not throw away this chance no matter how much it costs him. Just to see him once is all he asks for.

The Color Language of Phantomarine

At just a cursory glance at this webcomic, it is very obvious that there are strong colors and that they will be tied to themes of the story. And the impulse to discuss and dissect them is.... far too great.

So! Let's start with something general, yes?

Saturation

There are two types of color schemes in the webcomic so far. Schemes with brighter colors and additional accents, and more muted colors with much more limited value differences. Practically speaking, more saturated colors and visual interest helps to draw the eye to what is important; like black thick lines around animated characters to distinguish them from the background. But.... we have a group of characters who has changed from a background scheme to a main character scheme. Such as....

...Our Favorite Princess.

Three different color schemes for three different Phaedras. The first muted yellows and browns, almost boring against the intense lighting of the Candlelight Sea and its foreshadowing hues. The second an intense yellow and terracotta red that hold up against the maroons and deep reds of the Red Tide. The third, blues and white like the very sea she was looking down at but saturated and darkened with indigo and purple unlike any of the other sea ghosts we have seen before.

The transition from background color scheme to VIP color scheme coincide with the very critical moment of the Princess meeting Cheth, demonstrating that her death is a critical moment plot-wise. Her transition to a completely different but still VIP scheme is when she realizes exactly what has happened... and we see that it changes her outlook down to its core, all the warm colors replaced with cool tones.

So, a characters' color scheme tells us both how important they are and can clue us in to their mental states and affiliations. Nothing new. Let's see those groups!

Cheth

As the Red Tide King, it isn't surprising that his color scheme is dominated by a bright red, mixing into warmer purples with highly contrasting white and black. This color scheme overtakes the muted blues of the sea ghost, as well as marking them with his tattoos. White is the secondary color closely associated with Cheth in-story, representing bones featured both in skeletons and his original divine body the Bonefish. This sort of color pallet usually infers more sinister intentions, with red commonly being associated with aggression, but I believe in this case it implies passion. Not necessarily romantic passion, mind, but a deep level of involvement and care.

The Plume Church

Black and bright turquoise and blue with touches of white and green, Cheline and the institution worshiping her are perfect foils to Cheth in color scheme; the cool colors of the Goddess of Life oppose the warm tones of the God of Death while still being unique against The Candlelight Sea. I imagine the black represents the ashes left in the wake of her fire and the greens and blue new life growing from it, though the predominantly black robes are not the usual choice for a Life Diety. The very liberal use of black also paints a more sinister color scheme, with it's traditional use to imply 'evil' in villains. As of writing this, I do actually think that is the intention.

The Mantaluna Crew

Being Seaghosts, the group's scheme is focused around a cool blue, but with more saturation and variation than other seaghosts to represent how they still have some life in them yet. Their cooler colors also allows them to contrast starkly with Cheth, but the purple gives it just a bit more warmth than the Plume Church, showing that while the crew may follow their Church's teachings.... they are fundamentally different on some level than those who have tied themselves closer to the Church.

Pavel, Vanna, and the Lodestars

Characterized by yellow with accents of white, red, and black, the Lodestars stand out. Being the third primary color, they easily stand apart from both Cheth and The Plume Church, showing they are not tied to either. Yellow appears to be the 'neutral' side in this diefic-level conflict, with Best Boy Pavel trying to be a mediator and Phaedra from Chapter 1 treating Cheth with more empathy than in the current chapters when her color scheme was strikingly similar. They do not have a side: they simply want what they think is best and try to stand as a beacon against the dark.

The Fata Morgana

Monochromatic with only lighting and their pale pink eyes for color, these enigmas stand apart as blank voids against the rich vibrancy of the rest of the Candlelight sea. The dominant white with bone-like designs implies a closer relation with Cheth than Cheline, though the exact nature is still up for debate.

Seaghosts

Another monochromatic and muted color scheme, the seaghosts of the Candlelight sea are a pale blue with some white to outline and to fill the eyes. A traditional scheme for spirits, hostile or otherwise, and it blends nicely with their home in the ocean, truly making them feel a part of it. Their cooler color scheme also allows the Red Tide to stand out beside them.

I have a few special mentions that are not fully flung schemes of their own, yet, but that I feel need mentioning.

Silas, though we have yet to see him in different lighting, has the Plume Church's signature blues and greens catching in his hair, with the rest of his pallet being a background tone with little detail. Almost like a certain bird's words have wormed right into the head of 'some nobody' and he all too eagerly listens for the boons she promises.

Daphnie and Euphamina also share a muted color scheme, tending towards the golds with purple to show their high status. Though this is their funeral dress, Daphnie having the black on top covering her own warm and regal colors while her mother instead covers the black with yellow and dons spectacles of a familiar red seem to hint at how the Plume Church interacts with them. Daphine is being covered and almost smothered, though her pure intentions still peek through; Euphamina cannot get away from the influences, but has found ways to assert her will.

Speaking of the funeral, we have a mystery bean with their very own VIP color scheme with cool, deep blues that we have yet to see used elsewhere.

Finally, we have Amos Ellery. We also do not know much of his color scheme sans funeral, but I believe his color scheme hits at his own motivations, similar to Silas. Whereas Silas's colors were seemingly very average for persons in Saperport, save the little highlighting of his hair, Amos is all black, white, and grey. His course is chosen not because of promises, nor because he agrees with the Church... they are driven by the Church being the only thing 'correct' to follow.

I hope you have enjoyed my ramblings, the pretty colors, and any snippets of a story you saw. Do please go read and give the author all the support!

Wait... Cheline said today that Cheth was lured away from his duties...Wait so does this mean that the Fracture fight tm maybe... Wasn't at the start a fight at all??? Is a very suspicious way to frame the destruction of Cheth and his physical form....In a way this is funny, like at this we should doubt as whole the story of the Fracture not only some parts of it, like let's scrap the "official" story that we have been told and let's get the theory board and a bunch of red line to connect all bits of that actually happened lol

I love the way the comic conveys the trope of the Unreliable narrator, it is amazing how a story can be told in so many ways and how a shift to different pov can bring to much understanding of how the characters work
