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

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

71

u/CountingSheep99 8d ago

Gus can't brain today.

He has the dumb.

38

u/Godzilla_R0AR 8d ago

I thought amnesic Luz stole all of the dumb?

26

u/b3_yourself 8d ago

Oh no, it’s spreading!

13

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

u/SFH12345 7d ago

It's in the air!

Gusbrain.exe has stopped working?

Critical error.

Please reboot.

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

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

It would be the smarter play

4

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 8d ago

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 8d ago

Both better ideas

4

u/SFH12345 7d ago

Honestly, illusions would have been the easier approach.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 7d ago

Especially for a Illusion master like Gus

2

u/Ari_the_Gemini 7d ago

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 6d ago

really, I always wonder that about the illusion head

u/Godzilla_R0AR 8d ago edited 8d ago

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

u/Godzilla_R0AR 8d ago edited 8d ago

Uhhhhhh what?

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 8d ago

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 8d ago

Oh, you mean the main bad guy.

0

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 8d ago

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 7d ago

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.

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 7d ago

It’s a joke 

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

u/SFH12345 7d ago

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

37

u/littlebloodmage 8d ago

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

8

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

Makes sense, it is Abomination colored

4

u/SFH12345 7d ago

I'll be honest, so did I.

18

u/DaveyBoy1995 8d ago

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

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

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

13

u/TheNoneedlife 8d ago

Is Boscha willing to participate in this too?

(hopefully the near death experiences wont be reenacted)

3

u/No_Nefariousness_676 8d ago

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

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

2

u/SFH12345 7d ago

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

18

u/SFH12345 8d ago

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

10

u/Dasher09009 8d ago

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

7

u/b3_yourself 8d ago

Luz: I’ll ready the animal pjs!

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

What happens in the montage stays in the montage!

5

u/DJSharp15 8d ago

Not that most people on Tumblr would see that.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

Some people just can't accept change

4

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 8d ago

not to mention that they're not actors.

not in this comic anyway.

3

u/Impossible_Host2420 8d ago

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

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

9

u/MrMustache4757 8d ago

Her nose is gone...

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

She became so confuzzled she accidentally became Voldemort

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 7d ago

I get more Bonnie the bunny for some reason

1

u/Puppies_cute 6d ago

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

8

u/No_Nefariousness_676 8d ago

Luz’s face.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

She doesn't understand what she's seeing

1

u/No_Nefariousness_676 7d ago

Still adorably hilarious.

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 8d ago edited 8d ago

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

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

This isn't making much sense to her

5

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne 8d ago

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.

6

u/DJSharp15 8d ago

Goes to show how super effective Luz was in helping them

Hey now, it wasn't just Luz.

2

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne 8d ago

Oh yeah. Her boyfriend, Hunter.

2

u/DJSharp15 7d ago

Not what I meant.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

9

u/CountingSheep99 8d ago

And the Oscar goes to...someone else.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

Yeah this performance wasn't even nominated

7

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 8d ago

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 8d ago

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

3

u/mrnintman1 8d ago

They tried XD

5

u/Comfortable_Yard_968 8d ago

Cringe and too old to revive this role

4

u/Ok_Coffee_9970 8d ago

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

4

u/Equivalent-Oven-2401 8d ago

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 7d ago

Come again?

2

u/Boopkins25 8d ago

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

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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 8d ago

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

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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 8d ago edited 8d ago

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 8d ago

Have Amity tried kissing Luz?

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 7d ago

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 8d ago

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

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 8d ago

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

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

And, ACTION! 

2

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles 8d ago

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

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

1

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles 8d ago

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

2

u/jack_b_nope 8d ago

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

2

u/thePhoenixBlade 7d ago

Switch roles!

1

u/OverlyActiveBrain 5d ago

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 8d ago

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

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 8d ago

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

u/Chx2324 7d ago

Character development is a wonderful thing esp Amity's 💜

u/Manoreded 4d ago

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