I mean, SOME genies seems to find a way to enjoy it, granted, is either becoming a Lord or part of Haji’s Harem, or in the best case scenario, finding a nice master. But it is not impossible!
Well Jeanie seems to have found some enjoyable things about being a Genie. Araceli too.
So while there are downsides, there are probably some benefits she doesn’t realize yet.
Remember, she just became a genie and doesn’t know much about whats going on. Once things calm down, she will have a chance to learn what it means to be one.
I know that these aren’t supposed to be canon but I could totally see Rudd either picking up plot threads from this after the fact or, the one that feels less likely to me. He asked Hachi to introduce a few details into the story so he wouldn’t be as far behind as he would otherwise be.
I did not know that destroying a totem destroys the genie bound to it, kind of scary but I assume it’s something that is not easily done by mortals and likely not easily done by ordinary genies either. After all genie lords need something besides imprisonment within their totem to punish disobedient genies with.
Then there is the question of how the foursome may or may not be tied to the Blue Djinn that recently escaped.
Actually, we know that, at least in the case of the Blue Djinn, he seems to absorb them. Whatever their are still alive somehow inside Jeanie, is still unknown.
I misread that at first. I thought it said “Eating them and destroying them for their essence” suggesting whoever is doing this is using genie magic to grow stronger…
The red villain’s closing quote “I was once like him” might mean that she was the leader of the genies before Haji, or at least a leader like the Blue Djinn.
@Alastir – this is not the place to have this discussion. I might not necessarily disagree with you, but just feel that there are more appropriate places to talk about it than here. That’s all. I wasn’t trying to start anything, so can we please just try to peacefully enjoy the comic and leave it at that?
Sure, I just said it was a good visualisation of the concept, and I have been bombed out lately about how certain people have become so into what can only objectively be described as murder.
@Alastir – gotcha. I just didn’t want other, more . . . dedicated, let’s say . . . debaters turning this into a flame war. I had a bad end of last year involving someone who was opinionated (not about the above topic) and badly justified in their opinion, and I don’t want to risk blowing up like I did then.
@He Who Abides
sorry it is hard for me not to respond to someone who ask me a question
@Jacqui
Actually, if a woman is a moral agent, than she have to be held responsible for her actions and her choices. She can’t be allowed any “get-out-of-jail-free-card”.
If she chooses to do X, than she is also morally obligated to carry the full consequences of X.
Because women don’t become pregnant by accident, its not like catching a cold.
@Alistir: And you keep ignoring that sometimes abortions are done for the sake of the mother’s health, which for clarity is what it seems to me that a woman’s life has little value to you, even if that might not be your intent.
And during the time that abortion is allowed, the fetus isn’t a living being yet, so it’s obviously not murder.
@Jacqui
I did not say that there can’t be medically necessary reasons to perform an abortion, just as it is not murder to kill in self defence or in the defence of others if one only uses minimal necessary force.
The case in question was about agency, and about a womens duty to take responsibility for her actions.
Of course thou can make the claim that women are not moral agents, not responsibly for their actions, and thus should not be held accountable for them. But if we assume, as a premise, that women are equal to men and thus have to be held to the same standard.
Men who volunteer for the army for instance are not allowed to go AWOL.
Desertion is a crime and a serious one, because when a man chooses to do X, he also have to accept all the logical consequences of X. The same is the case for women, IF we assume they are equal.
To be honest i never thought of it like this. Originally i wanted soemthing so severe and harsh to send a message to haji himself. She was one of them but she got a more severe punishment than what ray had back then. I would like to tell everyone how she became this way, you wil have to wait a very long time.
But dont you worry it’s good to introduce villains now because there was a species not even listed here that no one really is aware of.
The original phrases has hints of who she really was. Sadly it isnt s djinn your seeing, it is far worse.
Also i apologized for seeing it this way of view but your a villain. How do you send a message and ruin someones peaceful society?
I can see the Blue Djinn justifying the destruction of the hubun jadids as better than the lives of slavery intended for them under the Haji’s rules. He might even really believe that.
eh-yeah?… but….I didn’t knot it actually exist..if you know morrigan from the Nightwarriors/darkstalkers series.. then yeah.. thats..what they are O_O!…
the problem is I thought i made this up but i didn’t know this actually existed in folklore history!
to be honest.. the closest i got with this class is a succubus!
@Hachimitsu: The first references to these female demons come from Sumerian texts and art. They were supposed to be seducers of men and killers of children. Gilgamesh’s mother was said to be one of them.
@Jacqui – I already did. And explained why I asked in the first place. Please, for everyone’s sake, could you both find a more appropriate venue in which to discuss this?
So, this is actually really funny, cause reading Hach comments, it seems we were looking for similar ideas, but being completely honest, I have no real input on Hach’s story, and he is not aware of my current plants for the story at MC, so the fact that we are working with the concept of succubi at the same time is purely a coincidence.
Besides, this guys seems far more deadly that the three back on Hypnos.
Good idea. I can get all I want of that elsewhere…and too much politics has driven me away from many sites. And, the last, oh, twenty-five years or so, what starts out as civil discussion in places like this degenerates into humorless namecalling.
Hmm, everyone seems pretty sure that she’s Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin. She does look like her, but I think there’s enough room for her to be someone else.
But even if she “is” her, the question still remains just “how” she is her.
Even in the normal canon, we have seen magic that turns people into what they expect a role to be (hence because of Disney there are now many blue genies.) But we also see a number of shows that are just “real” in this world for some reason.
So if she “is” Jasmine, would she be the real Jasmine, someone magically made to look like her, or is the story of Aladdin based off of “real” events in this comic, or what?
Hell, since this whole story is non-canon, anything is up for grabs…
New villians this is getting interesting.
Well that’s not a good sign….
I wonder what will happen to Crystal and Anderson when they meet these new villains?
Hopefully Anderson’s new life as a genie won’t end to soon for her to learn to enjoy it
Can’t imagine how anyone would learn to enjoy being forcibly enslaved and imprisoned for most of your millennia-long lifetime.
I mean, SOME genies seems to find a way to enjoy it, granted, is either becoming a Lord or part of Haji’s Harem, or in the best case scenario, finding a nice master. But it is not impossible!

This may be “just” a filler, but maybe it’s worth remembering that the Blue Djinn had a crew and that he/she killed one genie “on screen” by shattering her totem. And those glowing floating spheres suspended above thingies? I’d say the four baddies are most likely in Haji’s palace now.
Team Rocket?
Let’s call them the Fearsome Foursome for now.
Wait, are those . . . Hunan Jadids? Are they eating genie babies?
What the FUCK!?
Pretty cruel, too, looks like.
Somehow I suspect this won’t be canon in main story …
I wonder if this is why Jeanie is the way she is…

Other way around

After all genie lords need something besides imprisonment within their totem to punish disobedient genies with.
Then there is the question of how the foursome may or may not be tied to the Blue Djinn that recently escaped.
To be honest we still don’t know what becomes of a genie once the totem is destroyed. They disappear that’s all we know.
Actually, we know that, at least in the case of the Blue Djinn, he seems to absorb them. Whatever their are still alive somehow inside Jeanie, is still unknown.
I misread that at first. I thought it said “Eating them and destroying them for their essence” suggesting whoever is doing this is using genie magic to grow stronger…
I suspect that this is Hashimitsu’s take on the Blue Djinn storyline.
Is this story canon? I had stopped paying attention a while back since I thought it was just filler…
The red villain’s closing quote “I was once like him” might mean that she was the leader of the genies before Haji, or at least a leader like the Blue Djinn.
@Marscaleb: It is canon that the Blue Djinn can gain magic by killing another genie. The genie in green that was just murdered may not have known that.
Please don’t make this political.
yes because it is sooo political to be against murder
Can we not do this, please?
@Alastir – this is not the place to have this discussion. I might not necessarily disagree with you, but just feel that there are more appropriate places to talk about it than here. That’s all.

@Alastir: Except Abortion isn’t murder, but then you clearly don’t care about a woman’s agency and autonomy.
And you do realize that sometimes abortions are done for the sake of the mother’s life, to save them? Not that it seems you are capable of caring.
@He Who Abides

Because women don’t become pregnant by accident, its not like catching a cold.
@Alistir: In other words you’re a misogynist who thinks Women exist to be broodmares, even if it kills them.
What a woman does with her body isn’t any of your concern you prude.
@Alistir: And you keep ignoring that sometimes abortions are done for the sake of the mother’s health, which for clarity is what it seems to me that a woman’s life has little value to you, even if that might not be your intent.

Except this is obviously not an anti-abortion comic, you are just pushing your own patriarchal and misogynistic views.
@Jacqui – Not the time. Not the place. Please, just drop it.
@He who Abides: You’re showing a clear bias here, why don’t you tell him that?
@Jacqui – I already did. And explained why I asked in the first place. Please, for everyone’s sake, could you both find a more appropriate venue in which to discuss this?
Very well and i did not see your earlier post.
I wonder if there’s any relationship between these villains and the three over on Melvin #28.
I don’t believe there was a purple one in MC, but that actually would make a scary amount of sense.
So, this is actually really funny, cause reading Hach comments, it seems we were looking for similar ideas, but being completely honest, I have no real input on Hach’s story, and he is not aware of my current plants for the story at MC, so the fact that we are working with the concept of succubi at the same time is purely a coincidence.
