I have posted the top 12 of the Gaia artwork contest:
- John J. God: I’m trying out your fate alteration engine, Fortuna.
- Fortuna: But you’re not allowed to do that! Only I may use it!
- John J. God: I don’t care. It’s too much fun to mess with mortals’ destinies.
- Fortuna: No! Please stop that!
- The Devil: John! Please stop teasing my little sister!
- John J. God: Oopsie.
- The Devil: P-l-e-a-s-e, John, don’t make Fortuna cry!
- John J. God: The machine is great! I’ll have it moved into my office tomorrow.
- Fortuna: Sob
- The Devil: Always the same with new Gods…
- Fortuna: Burp

But we’ve just finished breaking-in that new god…*sigh* time for another human god selection again, there’s too high turnover rate for human gods!
RIP John J. God. What a(n) (un)fortunate death.
Leave the role vacant, like it is in real life.

The rest of the time, they’re very law abiding, even if said laws are inconvenient for them
Death Mami Tomoe style.
Well, that’s one way to solve the problem
Of course I’m a curmudgeon. I can’t help but feel that there can be enough drama in a 12-year-old girl’s life to sustain a twice-weekly comic, without delving into the supernatural.
At least no more than a talking raccoon is supernatural.

In the last two Episodes (25/26), the arch enemy Dornkirk tries to use a fate machine to alter the fate of all living beings to some kind of paradise.
@ Arent:
I’m here to third #TaylorForGod. She is the judge… and has been pretty okay with it.
Works for me. Also, try having humans not have a god. They’ve been jerks.
I’m with Mitchell.
Never annoy the Old Ones.
@ Qetzlcoatl:
Minor correction: Fortuna is the Goddess of Luck … period. Or perhaps Fate might be a bit more accurate translation. Good luck, bad luck, indifferent luck; there may even be a random component. The Fate that one receives is not necessarily what one deserves.
Iä iä!
@ Titan:
You DO know, that the JW don’t allow blood transfusion because f the bible and think that being gay is not normal?
I would like to nominate Bernie Sanders to be the new God of Humans.
@ TimesNewLogan:
I’d be fine with that in real life especially if Trump also goes to the lower levels of hell where he belongs receiving his just punishment. Or maybe reincarnated as a poor refugee from one of those countries he so reviles.
@ Qetzlcoatl:
I think it’s Cthulhu. Fortune comes in various aspects, good and bad.
I also feel that the Devil in this is more like Fate. (I know there were traditionally three fates, all female, but some Greeks believed in a single personification of Fate. Fortune being the little sister of Fate makes a lot of sense since Fate would be the first born.
Perhaps the green eyed lady who must not be named will complete the triad.
@ Wizard:
The Jehovah’s Witnesses have been banned in Russia because they refused to allow their sick children to have medical treatment and they were preaching against vaccination. Many Russian doctors, especially paediatricians, were very angry about it and demanded action. I have some sympathy.
In the UK the doctor who claimed the MMR vaccine caused autism was eventually struck off the medical register, but not before children had died on measles as a result.
In the US he commands a following and continues his propaganda.
I think the US is very wrong on this one. It isn’t free speech, more the shouting “Fire” in a crowded theatre.

I bet Landon will be the new God. He has to leaf Larisa for the good of mankind, and she will so angry that she burns down the world or just some little Islands in the south pacific.
*be
Just out of interest, but why would you want to become the next human god? Like, sure you might get all its omnipotent powers and so on but don’t you also have to give up your entire life and all your friends/family etc to go and live with a bunch of really crazy people including Cthulhu tentacle monsters which may or may not eat you?
@ Titan:
Jehovah Witnesses are child molesters and Nazis though
The fact that they kill children by prevent blood transfusions shows just how fucking evil they are
Bring out the next Rando, maybe this one will be a little more patient and conservative in their actions as they learn how to do things.

So is Fortuna going to get some kind of punishment now from upper management, like Odin? Or is she exempt?
Wwwwwelp.

They may be peaceful, but indoctrination/brain washing and science denialism is in no way harmless.
Whelp… that image will haunt my dreams for nights to come.
And another douchebag of a God down… can we get a nice one this time?

@ Drago Whooves:
That’s Sephiroth’s schtick.
@The Devil: “Always the same with new Gods…”
No kidding. Best to go with New Gods instead.
@ Breja:
The Divine Comedy was actually voted as the most popular story arc and I say MORE!!!
@ Titan:
You clearly never heard what they do to those who wants out of that community … or some of their rules. If you got one of them you would most likely get an old testament type “god”.
@ Gamesman:
He’d probably try to rationialize it like Tony Stark explains magic. “Science we haven’t discovered yet.”
Fortune plango vulnera stillantibus ocellis, quod sua michi munera subtrahit rebellis.
Basically, she does this all the time.
Also,
Verum est, quod legitur, fronte capillata, sed plurumque sequitur, occasio calvata.
(Carmina Burana, Mvt II)

Yeesh, you make shunning sound as bad as a public execution.
And before you diss shunning, wouldn’t you shun someone who participated in things you considered to be wrong and had no regrets or intention to stop, cause that’s what it takes for JW’s to shun someone (Though I will admit they strive to live by higher standards than most, but what so bad about that?)
My guess is that Zoey wins the match and then watches Sandra walk off with her friends Cloud, Larissa and Luna while she is alone because even Michelle has abandoned her. There’s a certain poetic justice in that.

That’s a little harsh.
It looks like somebody has been watching Carmina Burana. The opening song is awesome for epic villains.
@ Darwinskeeper:
I hope that doesn’t happen to Zoey
I don’t know if we’ve seen the last of John J. God. His worshipers have been eating His flesh and drinking His blood for almost 2000 years now; he’s used to it!
Sigh
The problem is Fortuna cannot even touch Sandra and Woo’s Real god, as creators of Sandra’s Universe, Knorzer and Powree cannot be touched by anyone’s actions in the comic – everything they do is dictated by those two.
OTOH, I must admit, Knorzer and Powree like their strawmen.
