      Well he posted something on his twitter account the morning after he fell off the fire escape, so I’m guessing he’s not too bad off.

          Well…

          … He was clearly dazed from the fall, which could be the result of a concussion. That isn’t GOOD, but is easily survivable and could be walked off in a matter of hours. And there’s a dark patch under his head which might be a shadow. Or it might be blood. If it is blood, it might have come from a relatively superficial gash, given that head wounds bleed a lot worse than similar injuries elsewhere on the body.

          Nor would AG necessarily know if he survived, which means that Amber might subconsciously believe he’s dead even if he wasn’t.

          Or, yes, he might actually be dead. But I don’t think it’s clinched, yet.

            I doubt anyone can just shake off a 30-foot fall onto pavement like that.

            If anything, we might see Brain Mike the Force ghost again.

              Huh. Okay, looking into this far more than it deserves…

              Assuming 10ft per story and a 3 foot railing, Mike fell 23 feet. We probably shouldn’t count the railing, because Mike was oriented horizontally when he went over and so his center of gravity wasn’t much higher than when he’d just been standing on the fire escape platform, but let’s go with 23. That’s pretty much right around the threshold distance for the survivability of a fall onto a hard surface (thanks, Google). Add to that how Mike was tangled up with Blaine for a bit of the fall and might have been decelerated some when Blaine grabbed the rope, and survival with few injuries is plausible. Not super-likely, but plausible.

              But yeah, probably not walking up as the untagged silhouette. Mostly I’m going by the fact that he tweeted the morning after the fall and it didn’t reference any injuries at all.

            As long as it doesn’t involve kicking…

            *Blaine gets up, throws himself at Amber with a desperate roar*

            *Amber turns to kick him in the face, forgets about jumpsuit, falls into Joyce, who catches her*

            *Sal kicks Blaine in the face, he goes down for good*

      Look Blaine has pulled off some bullshit he probably shouldn’t have gotten away with during this whole escapade but if he manages to somehow get another advantage after getting kicked out of a moving car I will give up and admit that god is literally on his side.

      I would give “injured Blaine vs. injured Amber” slightly to Amber.

      “Injured Blaine vs. injured Amber and completely fresh-to-fight Sal” is not odds I’d take.

      Not that I’m saying Blaine wouldn’t be DUMB enough to do it, but any further asskicking would be narratively redundant. (Although it would be delightful to get both the ‘Amber walks away with the last word’ and ‘Blaine gets beat to paste’ endings at once.)

      I was about to comment on Blaine’s face, and then I realized it’s not just fear, it’s literally an alternate universe follow up to my favorite Amber moment. Though she (and the strip) are looking away in the last panel, which is probably where he actually realizes she is everything, without him. Close enough for my tastes. THANK YOU, WILLIS!

    “I figured out why I was crying earlier. It’s not ‘cuz you died. And it’s not ‘cuz you hit me. I dealt with that.

    It’s because I will never get to stand up to you. I will never get to show you I was no longer afraid of you. You told me I was nothing, and I’ll never see the look on your face when you realize I am everything, without you.

    So, fuck you, Dad, for taking one final thing from me. Burn in hell.”

    Seriously, this is getting me She-Ra finale levels of Wibbly Over Fiction And Parallels, and that wrecked me for like a week.

    Yeah, that was the best thing Amber could say and do. What she is, good and bad, are her choices. She’s no-one’s victim, no longer the helpless girl riding an avalanche down a hill. She chooses who and what she is.

    Now, I think she’s got to get over to Joyce and Sal so she can collapse into their arms and start crying and screaming.

    First his controlling and narcissistic abuse gives her personality disorders, then he kidnaps and murders his way through her friends to get out of paying for her college, and then he wants “credit” for raising someone able to physically overpower him? I’m starting to think Blaine doesn’t care what happens since he’ll always be able to convince himself everything everyone does is both about him and to his benefit

    Reminds me of this mic-drop scene.

        Apparently it takes a few sperm to break down the egg’s outer layer in order to pave the way for the one that actually fertilizes.

        Still, it’s not a large number.

      While superficially deep, this quote suggests that the nine who died weren’t good enough. I call victim blaming.

    like the van going 360 upside down.

    Wait… so, you mean Amber created Amazi-Girl? Or Amazi-Girl created Amber? Or you created Amazi-Girl AND Amber? Or Amazi-Girl and Amber together created you?

    “I made Me” is a much more confusing statement on the DID spectrum…

      It’s less confusing if you take in context with the earlier scene atop the van in which Amber and Amazi-Girl (represented by a visual metaphor/Force Ghost/whatever shells your peanut) not so much fuse as come to terms with each other.

      I think it means, all of Amber’s identities are taking credit for all of her identities. Blaine doesn’t get to claim any of Amber’s badassery or Amazi-Girl’s badassery.

    I’ve been wondering for a while… maybe this will end with Blaine getting shanked in prison? He’s been made a huge mess and he does seem like the kind of guy who’d sing to the police to save his own skin. I doubt his “buddies” will like either of those things.

      They’re friends, there’s a need for Amazi-girl, Amber’s violent urges didn’t just go away and still need to be productively channeled. So I’m guessing not.

      Amber: Hey, Amazi-Girl, I believe it’s time we keep some social distancing. Why don’t you quarantine yourself for a couple of weeks?

      (At DoA’s pace this means no more Amazi-Girl until 2022)

    This is pretty much perfect. She just destroyed him. Too bad the badass effect is sabotaged by her getting the supersuit tangled around her feet.
