Of course Grace added nuts to the recipe.
"But there were already peanuts--" PEANUTS ARE LEGUMES!
Wait, what is a legume? Hang on a second.
...
PEANUTS ARE SEEDS?!
Question Mark...?
There will, in fact, be at least one more comic before the end-end! This is because there is at least one thing I want to clarify before we're done here, and I don't want it to be something one has to read commentaries to know.
The reason it wasn't included before this is because it would have interrupted the flow of the last few comics, I had a particular note I wanted to technically end things on (Grace), and it's actually something one could deduce from reading the storyline.
I don't want it to have to be deduced, however, so... Next comic.
And I say "at least one", because I don't know what sort of questions I'm going to get after this comic. For all I know, I'll have other things to address! HUZZAH!
As for how canon all this has been, I wouldn't say 100% canon, but close to it? There's some fourth wall breaking nonsense early on, though that IS one of the reasons I wanted to establish Tensaided as being an actual participant in the dream. Normally, he's not an excuse to break the fourth wall, but the influence of one as trope-savvy as him could potentially excuse the presence of some dialogue that would otherwise be pushing the fourth wall.

By my understanding, peanuts aren't nuts, but legumes, so the peanut shell is a seed pod.

I missed those ears.

Yes, but: "A nut in botany is a simple dry fruit in which the ovary wall becomes increasingly hard as it matures, and where the seed remains unattached or free within the ovary wall." -Wikipedia The ovary wall of the peanut is not the shell, but I could not find confirmation of which part of the peanut is the ovary wall. Possibly the seed coat?

Aren't actual nut nuts also seeds?

If I said I didn't struggle with how to word that panel, I would be a filthy liar.

Okay, I think I've parsed the bit about Grace having a spell: * Of which she is presumably unaware * Has to do with the Emissary's invasion of her dreams * And has to do with her dream journal? Because at first it read like her having the spell was due to ignorance, but really it means due to matters of which she is unaware.
