Endtown or: How Much Does That Heifer In the Window Cost?

I would say shit's getting crazy and we're approaching a boiling point, but that's always been the case, hasn't it?

inb4 some dipshit says to move it to some shit board.

I hope Heather doesnt die. Please. Let me keep this one Aaron.

>expecting anything but the worst in Endtown

Haven't kept up with Endtown ever since GOD.

What the fuck is even going on now?

Do as the janny commands.
It went to hell outside. Now we get to see it go to hell inside Endtown.

Here's an incredibly quick rundown:

>wally'n'co find magic ditto ship wot needs human energy to survive
>we see backstory, holly decides to stay with ship while wally chic and whatshername continue on
>whip-pan to endtown, literal racial riots brewing between carnivore and herbivore
>cows and pigs go missing or commit suicide, really apparent that wolves are up to something sinister
>mayor and a pig shack up and fuck like hollies

Here's where we slow down a bit:

>store owner (that cow) loses her shit and throws a wolf (who was harassing above-mentioned pig in the store) out the glass window
>wolves don't fucking play that game and do a mass howl at night to spook everyone
>store owner gets threatened, bullies the cops for a 2-foot high billy goat officer to escort her everywhere
>come next morning, wolves are picketing the store and being a nuisance
>officer tries to disperse, but due to size difference is just bullied by wolves
>store owner calls cops for backup, cops come
>one wolf [i think it was the one who started all this shit] throws billy goat officer through front windshield of car
>its on
>current page

>cow
What? I thought she was a horse?

That doesn't matter to anyone other than our dicks.

You're fucking up the characters.
Heather is a horse.
Kirbee is Wally's girl.
Pig who got with bear is not the same pig who got her eye fucked.
Dottie is clearly now worst girl with her stories in the paper and her bias for wolf dill.
Holly forever a loser and never coming back. Pirate Holly is pipe dream meme from back in the threads full of shitposting.

>_____ _____
BOY HE DID IT
THE MADMAN ACTUALLY DID IT
Nah, she gonna die or end up in the hospital with her friend.
And Marx will be to blame.

So wolves are persecuted, but actually deserve it? And pigs are persecuted, but don't deserve it even though they eat all the food?

Since when am I not allowed to even post course language?

Wolfkin please go.
The pigs are innocent, they're already being driven to starvation because of the pressure over that.

You can use course language when it pertains to the subject matter.
The janitor is doing his job and deleting filthy soap mouths like yours that use coarse language.

I mean if you think about it, you'd probably get a little resentful if you were starving (or hungry at least) due to you pulling the proverbial low card in mutagenic bingo meanwhile your neighbors are living high on (or rather, as) the hog

Starvation! Look how fat they all are! Have we seen any fat wolves yet? NO

>he actually thinks total weight and outward appearance determines overweight/obesity
>tfw to smart for learning how bmi works
>on livestock

Let's face it folks everyone is headed towards Schism Syndrome

Someone made a joke about the wolf breaking in to apologize to Heather in the previous thread.

Just due to how pigs are built don't look as boney or gaunt as other starved animals. And either way the wolves are dicks.

I see Aaron recently saw "Do The Right Thing".

What is it with the new janitor? He hates Endtown, he hates Dumbing of Age, and I'm sure he hates fun as well as paying for food.

What the bloody hell are the wolves even thinking?

I'm not talking about whomever is going around bullying the pigs into suicide by sandwich, but any of the actual, if any, wolves who legit believe they're the victims here (...instead of the people who are being eaten...)

They obviously have some sort of organization going on given the mass howl, and the picket, but either there are...for lack of a better term sleeper agents purposely inciting trouble or they're all dumb as shit.

Not a single one of them is thinking "hey, if we REALLY believe that we're the victims here, maybe we shouldn't do anything like beat up the cops?" What is their goal here, even? To force an apology? To make Heather break down crying or run possibly the only professional tailor out on a rail?

smashing

So did the wolf do the wring thing, user?

He enforces the rules on Sup Forums and the furries don't like it.
I wish he'd do more to clean up the Poppy threads though.

In regards to whether the pigs eat all the food, Portia was shown to be deliberately starving herself and exercising to lose weight. However in the hospital scene we learn that some of the pigs go the other way and are getting fatter before selling the farm for some reason we don't know about. There was a reference about a food shortage as well.

The pig at the clothes store had brought her clothes in to take out (or make bigger) which the wolf customer commented on rather meanly, then she was slapped by a hoof-hand and thrown out into the trash.

I'm not going to say what happened afterwards is all well deserved or defend the wolves for this particular brand of stupidity but for the sake of fairness there are some underlying issues here.

Dottie fuck off. We know it's you.
The pigs and the horses are clearly going to be in the right, as there is no chance of fairness anymore.
Just ask the goatcop that got thrown through a windshield, I'm sure he feels the wolves should be treated fairly.

Some anons are wondering if Heather's actually running to grab a firearm.

Better go to /trash/ for that user.
Sup Forums Censorship and 404 is very progressive on family values now.

...

Where would they get guns.

I want to say she'll likely be fine because that's what usually happens in situations like this, but if Aaron was willing to remove Holly from the picture then nothing is sacred.

Sure, reactionary viewpoints help immensely instead of making things worse. This whole thing started because Heather overreacted and snowballed into what it is now. The wolves are out of line but I still believe Heather was similarly out of line during the laundry confrontation, and no amount of 'lol Dottie/wolfkin' is going to make me think otherwise.

That said, this escalation is Grout's fault. I can't believe after everything that's happened he thought sending one of the smallest cops on the force to a potential riot situation was a good idea.

Stealing them from the rats, building them, possibly buying them, or even bringing them in the first place.

Man if only Goodman turned the gun on Jackrabbit...

>Allgood for all he wanted to keep a grasp on humanity, ends up getting publicly lynched and the bastard behind him built the situation to happen in the first place and now controls Endtown
Poor guy, and I like pandas too.

>shifting blame away from the dindus (wolf)
>tfw it doesn't work
Gee I wonder who is behind all this.

Not saying they're in the right but hunger can do an awful lot to disrupt your logic

I feel it would have ended the same way it did for the rats.

Maybe they should try fixing the elevators and going topside.

>not holding individuals responsible for their actions
>ignoring inaction when they are in a position of authority
>blaming the symptoms

Damn right.
That midnight howling is too far, they need to get lined up and shot.
If all they're good for is disrupting the peace, then they can try meeting the business end of a piece.

Wally only managed to destroy one elevator, however the Topsiders now have a satellite in orbit that is able to search out all life on the surface, so unless you have dittos you're screwed.

Why don't they know about the far reaches

>the far reaches
Is this the Great Green or is this something that I haven't heard about?

Forgive me for knowing nothing.
About the things we know next to nothing about.

That would explain the food shortage. If nobody is going out (or coming back) from foraging then the food situation in Endtown would be really dire, wouldn't it?

Shouldn't they be capable of growing roots?

The only thing I can remember is Mallard was trying his hardest to get some hydroponic situation up to grow food for Endtown. I don't know what came of that or if they did somehow manage to grow anything edible. Does anyone here know?

it looks like Heather is just going to get beat to death, i was really hoping they were going to kidnap her and eat her :c

The great green was said to be a place that wasn't affected by the bombs and supposedly where Wally and co are heading. It was either in an email I can't find or someone posted something about it a while ago.

That and they're running out of beans in general.

Isn't the whole race/species war the result of the wolves/carnivores needing meat anyway or am I reading too much into it?

Looking too far.

...Am I misremembering or didn't Mallard as a joke mention he synthesized food proteins but didn't announce it because he couldn't think of what to call it when he marketed it?

wait remind me what happened to the rats

So I guess the moral of the story is that wolves are all unanimous assholes and morons, Dotty is a moron for siding with the wolves even though its painfully clear they're all apparently morons and dicks, and walt is the only decently written character in this arc.

Man this arc blows. The wolves are rocking the boat to a retarded degree. Like holy shit fighting with the police? Congratulations now everyone one thinks your up to no good now. What was your master plan here? Rabble rouse and fight the cops? Good job you did it, everyone hates you and now the rats are going to come down and kill you for being shitters. I was really hoping this arc was going to a "two sides of the coin" kind of deal where pigs had a legitimate fear of wolves due to the abductions vs. wolves being mad of getting pigeonholed into being bad guys just because they happened to be carnivores or some shit.

I sure hope the phone calls deliver a decent twist because so far this is pretty lame stuff from the guys who gave me Fist Full of Beans and the Milk Trial.

So Holly's gone now? Where the hell did she go?

Also Jesus Christ how horrifying.

She stayed on the lotus eater machine to live a fake life in the Matrix with her fake dead husband and kid.

Wally just lets her go thanks to a letter despite doing everything in his power three panels prior to save her, Chic and his pet (a kid and a bug), and Kirbee the lizard (new happy go lucky party member Wally macks on when Holly is being a shrill bitch).

After all that, and he should have dumped her sooner.

Holly's decline has become pretty divisive among readers, but --story wise-- the reason is that the Milk Trial seemed to break her and she became very erratic and wanted out. Wally and her leave Endtown, meet two topsiders who were escaping TopsiderLand or whatever, they mutate into a raccoon and a lizard, and the four of them get caught by the denizens of another refugee place like Endtown. Only it's completely controlled by liazard mutants who run a barbaric/midevial society, eat their own eggs (that are determined not to have lizard babies in them) and pretty much do what they please with non-lizard mutants. Replace the two topsiders with a parrot mutant kid and a good lizard lady named Kirbee, and everything gets blown up and razed to the ground after a bunch of shit happens. An EVIL otherworldly being not unlike Marx is involved.

Holly has been losing her shit as this time but she, Wally, Chic and Kirbee, find an abandoned ocean liner FILLED with dittos and we get a glimpse into Holly's past of how she was a pregnant woman before the bombs fell, her subsequent miscarriage and the death of her husband before she and Doc came to Endtown. She is pretty much 110% done with the world's bullshit and Blue Pills herself so she can go back and live in a happy simulacrum with her dead family--AFTER Wally and the others escape with what they think is Holly but she turned out to be an illusion. The story arc ends shortly after on a comic where Aaron trolls the audience, many of whom were getting pretty verbose about shipping Holly/Wally and Holly/Kirbee...

After all that maybe Jim should have killed her in Unity and we skip the whole past sequence flashback and save everyone a grip of time in the process.

According to Aaron, he had always intended for this basic outcome of Holly and Wally's arc to be this way. She came to despise the world, can't take it anymore and puts herself into a happy coma.

HOWEVER... along the way he introduced Kirbee who is either an idiot savant or basically somewhat dim but well meaning lizard lady..who eventually developes feelings for Wally. Aaron claimed to have kept her in the story to keep it from getting too depressing (the ending would have otherwise been Wally being saddled with some kid he hardly knows to raise and protect.) But just as Kirbee was becoming a main character, and Wally balso began to warm up to her, Holly was being depicted at her worst: erratic, bitching at Wally under the slightest provocation and was clearly becoming unhinged. This led to *alot* of bullshit over who Wally was going to end up with and supporters of both characters poisoned the Endtown fanbase well.

The arc ends with Kirbee and Wally technically together. Buuuuuttt in spite of them sharing a kiss (or two) in a moment of passion, Kirbee knows damn well that Wally tried to chose Holly. Are they going to get together? Who knows? But even if they did ride off into the sunset it's still unclear what their outcome will be, opposed to Holly who is probably not coming back for a very, very long time...if at all.

>that pic
>people still giving Holly shit when it was clear she was losing her mind the whole time

>supporters of both characters poisoned the Endtown fanbase well

What? These people WERE the Endtown fanbase. It's really obvious when comparing individual posters in the Endtown threads before and after the Ship arc, making it obvious that this fanbase for the most part took an exodus away from the comic and shunned it.

Shipping usually will devolve into a ship war if a new love interest is introduced but that isn't on the fanbase, that's entirely on the comic. Readers spent years with Holly, other readers felt Kirbee was a pleasant respite from how bitchy Holly had been. For the former they wanted things to work out and for the latter they were cheering each misstep and negative thing Holly did. It's a perfect recipe for disaster among the ranks.

I remember there were even Kirbee supporters who were saying, as the threads were capping off, that they too weren't happy with how the Ship Arc ended. Even the vague hope the threads were parroting, where we might see Holly in the future and she'll be 'saved' by someone eventually was shut down by MARX in comic. Marx, the character almost unanimously hated in the threads for years.

Seeing the effects after all this went down is way obvious; there's less than 20 individual IPs in these threads now. Fans of the comic and the storytelling bailed, leaving a small core of fans and readers who stuck around to see what comes next.

I stopped coming to these threads because it turned into mostly Hollyfags and Kirbeefags bitching at each other constantly. Now I mostly just quietly follow it and I'm pretty sure a lot of others did the same.

>Shipping usually will devolve into a ship war if a new love interest is introduced but that isn't on the fanbase, that's entirely on the comic.
Fuck that. That's entirely on the fanbase for not controlling their autism. Fuck them, they killed these threads
