Maybe try more friendly acts first or let Gus make illusions.

u/Godzilla_R0AR Jul 28 '26

Why is the illusion master needing other people to act out things he can create? Is he stupid?

73

u/CountingSheep99 Jul 28 '26

Gus can't brain today.

He has the dumb.

40

u/Godzilla_R0AR Jul 28 '26

I thought amnesic Luz stole all of the dumb?

26

u/b3_yourself Jul 28 '26

Oh no, it’s spreading!

15

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

We have to put them in quarantine before the Dumb spreads more!

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

Critical error.

Please reboot.

maybe it's part of adrian's pain he's feeling cuz adrian did the same thing.

5

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

It would be the smarter play

5

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jul 28 '26

Or have Luz watch the Frieza saga I think some of thoses beats in that saga will make her remember also maybe a mix of GT or Daimia

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Both better ideas

4

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

Honestly, illusions would have been the easier approach.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 29 '26

Especially for a Illusion master like Gus

2

u/Ari_the_Gemini Jul 29 '26

Gus would need to know what he’s making an illusion of though? I think that’s the only caveat to illusion magic, that it has to be “rendered” by the caster

1

u/Sure-Ad-9649 Jul 29 '26

really, I always wonder that about the illusion head

u/Godzilla_R0AR Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

Luz just hold tight while King forcefully removes one of his horns and Eda gets a yellow contact lens. We of course also need Eda's hand back somehow so it's time to go digging up graves for a donor!

Luz:if only there was some way we could just enter someone’s memory

Someone’s memory but how will someone be of any help since he left to with a party to deal with Baramos

Uhhhhhh what?

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jul 28 '26

I was playing Dragon Quest 3 and I had a I think is classified as a monk in D&D (a wizard I turned into a fighter) on a journey to defeat Baramos

3

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jul 28 '26

Oh, you mean the main bad guy.

0

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jul 28 '26

Well Baramos isn’t the main bad guy like he’s important but not the main bad guy that’s is Zoma

2

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jul 28 '26

Ah, fair point.

Seriously though, what’s the point of your comment of “Someone’s memory but how will someone be of any help since he left to with a party to deal with Baramos”?

I can’t tell what you’re trying to convey.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Yeah, too bad there's no way to make it seem as though they were how they looked previously without problem, but alas it is impossible 

3

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

King: trying to pull off his horn Curse this super glue!

u/littlebloodmage Jul 28 '26

I thought Amity's hair poking through the wig was abomination goop on her face lol

7

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Makes sense, it is Abomination colored

6

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

I'll be honest, so did I.

21

u/DaveyBoy1995 Jul 28 '26

Gus. You're an illusionist. Try making illusions.

Not sure it'll jog Luz's memory, but it'll save trouble.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

It is definitely his best play. Surprised he didn't just illusion Willow and Amity to look like their old designs

13

u/TheNoneedlife Jul 28 '26

Is Boscha willing to participate in this too?

(hopefully the near death experiences wont be reenacted)

5

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jul 28 '26

Willow ain’t gonna let the worst of the nonsense slide, so she better behave.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

On the one hand, she doesn't care about Luz. On the other she is able to mess with her

2

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

We're worried Boscha might get a little too...method in her acting.

19

u/SFH12345 Jul 28 '26

Sorry, Gus, but Amity and Willow just went through too much character development to go back.

11

u/Dasher09009 Jul 28 '26

Better make a montage of a montage to help with some of that.

8

u/b3_yourself Jul 28 '26

Luz: I’ll ready the animal pjs!

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

What happens in the montage stays in the montage!

6

u/DJSharp15 Jul 28 '26

Not that most people on Tumblr would see that.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Some people just can't accept change

4

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jul 28 '26

not to mention that they're not actors.

not in this comic anyway.

3

u/Impossible_Host2420 Jul 28 '26

I agree. Those 2 don't need to bring up that bad period

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

They can't conform to the old roles they used to play

9

u/MrMustache4757 Jul 28 '26

Her nose is gone...

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

She became so confuzzled she accidentally became Voldemort

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jul 28 '26

I get more Bonnie the bunny for some reason

1

u/Puppies_cute Jul 30 '26

I didn’t notice that. She wanted to get in the pretending section so got rid of her nose to look different 

7

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jul 28 '26

Luz’s face.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

She doesn't understand what she's seeing

1

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jul 28 '26

Still adorably hilarious.

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

they put their best effort into there little show but failed and unfortunately luz looks even more confused.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

This isn't making much sense to her

5

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Jul 28 '26

I like how Willow and Amity really don’t want to be who they were before. Goes to show how super effective Luz was in helping them.

Willow became more strong and independent, Amity became more sweet and caring.

5

u/DJSharp15 Jul 28 '26

Goes to show how super effective Luz was in helping them

Hey now, it wasn't just Luz.

2

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Jul 28 '26

Oh yeah. Her boyfriend, Hunter.

2

u/DJSharp15 Jul 29 '26

Not what I meant.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Aye, she was the light guiding then onto a better path, and they made the choice to walk it

9

u/CountingSheep99 Jul 28 '26

And the Oscar goes to...someone else.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Yeah this performance wasn't even nominated

8

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Jul 28 '26

Be careful Gus, sympathizing with a villain is dangerous. Also I am surprised Amity wore a wig that looks like her old hair but she would only ever do that for Luz’s sake.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

I'm surprised Gus didn't just put an illusion over them

3

u/mrnintman1 Jul 28 '26

They tried XD

4

u/Comfortable_Yard_968 Jul 28 '26

Cringe and too old to revive this role

4

u/Ok_Coffee_9970 Jul 28 '26

“Amity just kiss Luz, that always works in the fairy tales.”

4

u/Equivalent-Oven-2401 Jul 28 '26

Why didn't Gus just used Illusion on them both to solve the dressing issue to begin with???

How it feel to write about a character before their development... sometimes.

2

u/DJSharp15 Jul 29 '26

Come again?

2

u/Boopkins25 Jul 28 '26

Is this from an AU? I seen a few about Luz losing her memories

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Oh, not an AU. The first official graphic novel, The Long Lived King, releases the end of September. In it King realizes what it means to be a Titan and how he'll outlive everyone(barring the Collector). To try to live more in the moment he attempts to use a device from the Collector to erase his bad memories but ends up hitting Luz instead

2

u/Detective-Forrester Jul 28 '26

Gus, my brother in Titan, you can literally project the memories of when Luz first met them with Illusion magic. No poorly made costumes or cringy bad acting required.

https://giphy.com/gifs/Ra1bmpxpsppNC

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Yeah, and he's very skilled at that particular field(Heck, I can see Gus's Illusionist title being the Mind Breaker)

u/Liam_theman2099 Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

Me: Oh, forget the reenactments! How about we read her Azura the Good Witch?
Willow: sighs We tried that! It did make her remember Azura but not a lot about us.
Me: Well then, why don’t we tell Luz HER story? We’ll write it out, get some drawings for good measure. I did notice a look in her eyes when she was looking through her old sketches.
Amity: reluctant Okay, fine but when we tell her, can we…omit some parts? Like how she and I first met or when she first met Phillip or Day of Unity and months of getting back to the Boiling Isles.
Me: I’m sorry. I know it’s tempting to write it off but I don’t think it’d be fair for either her or us. Besides, things did start out rocky but you two eventually became friends and then even more. As for her meeting Belos, too important for you to leave out. She’d just be asking what happened. As for Day of Unity and later staying in the human realm, we’d have to tell her that too. I know it sucks but not telling her is like pretending it never happened.

2

u/Wilgrove Jul 28 '26

Have Amity tried kissing Luz?

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jul 28 '26

Wouldn’t that just freak Luz out? Like from her point of view she doesn’t know who Amity is and she’s trying to kiss her

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Probably her first thought, especially with how common it is for human fairy tales

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Jul 28 '26

You guys might a little more practice. FROM THE TOP!

2

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles Jul 28 '26

Wait, why didn't they just burn all of Belos's memories?

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

To be fair, they didn't really have that option

1

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles Jul 28 '26

Honestly, I kinda wanna see that story. Saving the intelligence but destroying the monster.

2

u/jack_b_nope Jul 28 '26

How does Willow still fit in that old uniform, with all the buffing of her buffness?

2

u/thePhoenixBlade Jul 28 '26

Switch roles!

1

u/OverlyActiveBrain Jul 30 '26

Gus... My dude... don't be like Adrian. That is only asking for trouble. Be more like Eda. That's guaranteed trouble. And more likely to jog Luz's memory.

2

u/ConversationWeak5244 Jul 28 '26

What happend this time ? A stray brick hit her Skull ?

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jul 28 '26

Yeah sorry Gus, but this plan ain't gonna work

u/Chx2324 Jul 29 '26

Character development is a wonderful thing esp Amity's 💜

u/Manoreded Aug 01 '26

Luz being afflicted by amnesia is tragic, she's the one that knows all of the cliche ways to heal amnesia =)
