Grrl Power #1485 – Zenithectomy
When Mt. Atrocitous was just a little butte going to Elementalry School, he got called “bismuth brain.” Also “pepto,” because apparently Pepto Bismol has bismuth subsalicylate in it? That’s why it’s called Pepto Bismol, I guess? In fact most generic Pepto is just called Bismuth Subsalicylate, or Pink Bismuth. I never thought about what’s actually in the stuff.
Anyway, they were all, “Hah, hah! Your brain is an antacid,” or “Meatsacks lick your brain when their poop isn’t viscous enough!” Or possibly, “Your brain is colorful!” Geomorphs can be cruel, and not always terribly creative when it comes to insults. Presumably their brains were formed from something else. Possibly Hoppered Galena or Fenster Quartz.
Maxima has destroyed a significant portion of a mountain once before, in her first fight with Darude. That does depend on how you define “mountain.” I’m sure cartographers and geologist might argue that point, but Max insists it was a (very small) mountain, and not a rather tall hill. It turned out to be a poor decision, tactically, because she would up freeing a bunch of granulated rock for Darude to add to his storm of sand. Or as one might say, his Sandstorm.
Oh, look who it is in the vote incentive. And a not-quite-yet-but-it’s-coming NSFW version over at Patreon.
Vote incentive and Patreon updated with some shading. Not finished yet, but progress.
I think she would get in trouble for doing this. She’d mess up the… floor of the waterfall? Is that what it’s called? The receiving pool? No, probably not that. Anyway, she’d churn things up and cause a ton of weird erosion.
Since you might be wondering, Niagara Falls is about 165 feet high, so Babezilla obviously doesn’t have to be full sized. I’d say she’s about 175-180 feet tall here?
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Gotta wonder how Ryzyl is feeling about his chances of victory right now…
I guess Mt. Atrocitus just got Bismuth-slapped.
Mountain puns are hill-arious.
we have not yet reached the peak of humor.
Actually the distinction between mountains and hills isn’t for cartographers or geologists to argue but for linguists.
In the UK it’s down to Bureacrats whether a feature is a hill or a mountain.
If it’s above 1,000 feet high, it’s a mountain.
Anything smaller is a hill, which explains the main plot point of the 1995 British film ‘The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain’.
Aww, she made the mountain sad.
More seriously, at what point do people start reviewing the footage of a certain supercarrier destruction and compare dimensions?
If the ruse remains successful enough it might actually spawn Maxima vs. Ixah debates, which in turn will give rise to at least one Maxima/Ixah slashfics.
Didn’t even notice the magma-teardrop til I saw your comment.
I would like to put forth a suggestion: Panel five of this page, cleared of dust; wind movement lines, and and other visual distractions, would make a bitchin’ vote incentive! With Ixah, Max, and perhaps Harper variants for Patreon? Just saying…
Ok, could someone explain me how she managed to mountain-punch juuust right amount of mountain top away and not just blow the “brain” into smithereens?
Who says she didn’t?
I presume Mt. Atrocitus’ brain is more resilient than their body, so when Maxima shattered its brain-case, the brain stayed intact. That would likely call for magic, but that would track with her using her anti-magic sword to do the tapping and cause Atrocitus’ leg to involuntarily kick.
Maxima also has an incredible degree of control, which likely contributed to her being able to break only the zenith.
I was expecting her to just throw him into space.
