It would have been fitting to just have Ferah, Roamer, and Rogio say something brief about him. Then maybe have Ferah say a tearful goodbye, then break down during the funeral and run off.

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to fans and puppies in Home/Asmundr. I don’t know why people are so excited to see puppies and will ship any male or female just to have them mate and procreate. The attitude of some fans is just disturbing and no one thinks about the implications of what they want to see. Kargo was forced to mount a female. Never mind the emotional trauma on both ends, it’s just puppies, puppies, puppies. A main character just died? Who cares because yay puppies. Whenever Home ends, this is one aspect about the community I won’t miss. And if Kique does another comic, count me out.

I wanted to punch Ronja in the face with the Fuss-Jonna one, mainly because everything she said about Ronja was simply not true. However, the way his funeral was delivered was pathetic. We really didn’t need an endless monologue talking about how great he was, but showing Ferah approaching the pyre and telling him how much she loved him, how much she was going to miss him, and maybe even screaming at him, telling him what a fool he was for placing her before his own safety, that would have been ok. Cliché, but ok.
The puppy thing disgusts me a lot. I have disliked Ronja’s pregnancy plotline ever since it started, mainly because I’ve read very few books where a pregnancy was relevant, and where the delivered offspring did anything other than ruin the plot by stealing the attention from it to focus on an ultimately useless character. This is no exception and we’re already starting to see how badly it is affecting the plot. While Lifa’s pregnancy was relevant to a certain point (back in Asmundr), this was not. It’s nothing but fanfiction inside fiction, a Sims 2 game.
I don’t even have words about the readers, more concerned about how cute the “puppiez” are than the story itself. To be honest, I have plenty of words, none I can say in public. Back when Kargo told Roamer the story about how he was forced to mount a female, the fanbase in the comment section were wondering whether she had gotten pregnant and what the puppies looked like. That was… sickening. While I admit that they might not be the same people, I can’t help but feel a certain churning in my stomach seeing readers more interested in the pups than the fact this story is a trainwreck of epic proportions. Kargo is dead, burning in a pyre, and your comment is; “OOOH!!! PUPPIEZ ARE COMING!!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE PUPPIEZ” really?
