So, the kid is trying to give her mom an extra 6 days by exploiting the curse. I suppose I should be feeling some profound sadness or something, but instead I'm confused. Isn't the kid really just prolonging her suffering?

Next you'll tell us that kids don't think logically about situations, particularly regarding the adults that they love.

2, 2, 3?, 3?! What is this shit?

What happened to 1, 2, 2, L?

What happens if you get 2 necklaces and put the second one on 3 days after the first one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

My thoughts would be that she'll not make it through the night in any case. Having another cause of death waiting in the future doesn't mean the earlier ones aren't as effective as without. That's not how death works.

(And, actually, if she did somehow survive, the son caused her a guaranteed death date later.)

But of course it's magic, so all bets are off unless you know exactly what the rules are and how to lawyer it.

Well she did say the wearer will die 7 days later as a fact. If it didn't happen that means her curses don't work and she has no power.

Thank you. Fuck low quality submissions. It means they got it somewhere besides the primary source.

Curse turned into blessing. Boy is a genius.

The comic is good. The text for the post by OP is... strange.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Op works customer service, strange depressive behavior is to be expected.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

I guess that makes sense. I couldn't do it myslef

[–] [email protected] 13 points 18 hours ago

Prob a millennial too, I didn't even think twice about ops post title.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Explanation:

Title: reference to the Fairly Odd parents meme "this is where I'd put my trophy... IF I HAD ONE"

Body: the witch sold something an is thus in customer service. Even though her profession appears to be cursing people, she found a way to feel horrible through work anyway

[–] [email protected] 20 points 15 hours ago

i think witch is sad because its killing power is going to waste

[–] essteeyou 32 points 19 hours ago

Oof. Thanks for that kick in the feeling department.

[–] buycurious 10 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Sorry, I’m a bit dense.

Is it sad because his mom is dying and he put the necklace on her anyway?

Or that the necklace will allow her to pass away due to her poor health vs. suffering?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

My first reading was fucked up, and that the kid is the cause of the death by giving her the necklace.

What's really going on is the necklace makes them die in 7 days. They had less than 1, so the necklace will actually keep them alive longer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Boy and Mum, tears are bittersweet because they have 7 days to express a lifetime of love, but she will then die. Witch is either sad because curse is foiled, or she's got a heart and is affected by what the boy did for his mum.

[–] FoxyGrandpa 78 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The wearer will die in seven days, he's trying to get more time with her

[–] buycurious 6 points 16 hours ago

Ah, thank you.

[–] ace_garp 41 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

6 bonus days of being with mum, is what I'm going with.

[–] SirSamuel 17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to an NDA after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said "screw that" because he didn't crash again and made a recovery.

He's now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won't be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

[–] Buddahriffic 1 points 1 hour ago

Did you mean a DNR? Or if NDA is correct, what does it stand for in this context?

[–] flicker 1 points 11 hours ago

And to add my own experience; if you have family you despise, don't worry. They'll outlive the heat death of the universe.
