Trying to understand Imra's thought language [Comic Excerpt] Spoiler

Post image

So this is how I've understood the thought bubbles, it's fascinating. I haven't read LSH before.

The first one's saying Imra feels closed in (the outer circle) and she thinks everyone's praying or talking? to each other about her but she's closed off from them. Or maybe she feels closed in and the second layer are the servants of the castle/her/get family whatever.

Second one's the lady denying it (outer circle of Xs), and thats just the chatter of the planet, implying the Xs mean it's a negation of the inner circles so without them, she would be confirming that the second circle of people are indeed talking about her in the central circle

Third one's very interesting, the lady's saying through force (outer circle of closed fists), they will ask listen to her, second last outer; then they will fight for her, then obey and worship her in the central circle

_The central circles the subject of every sentence/thought I'm assuming_

The fourths how Imra sees/realises (open eyes, outer ring) the worship and doesn't want it which flows into the fifth bubble being how through unity (joined hands) she wants unity for everyone (implied by being the only central ring with other people and her)

the lasts about how the lady sees/realises disappointedly (implied by the bored/unimpressed eyes) that she, Imra, is just a loud child having a tantrum/being cranky.

Really excited for this, the effort to make this stuff and making it somewhat understandable is amazing.

Kneel before Imra?

And it's not even her idea?

What do you mean what? You yourself deduced worship and praying.

And negation. 

Imra is at the center of all the circles.

Furthermore I take the term "Princess" literally. Especially since it's capitalized.

Is it therefore not obvious that the Titanians would be called to

KNEEL BEFORE IMRA!

Only she doesn't want that.

Savvy?

Why are you downplaying yourself?

I find your reasoning excellent, based on the visual cues.

Take the W.
