There’s something I always find unsettling about turning a person into an inanimate object. Particularly when there’s no specific information about what, if anything, they experience in that state (i.e., is it death or sensory deprivation or “I have no mouth and I must scream”?)
Lot of room for interpretation in this, “the Wotch” comic universe.
We’ve had a perfectly normal plant, doused with a love potion, that developed a romantic crush on our rival antagonist witch character.
That’s not a human transformed into a plant; just an organism with no brain, no nervous system, no sensory organs whatsoever, having magical feelings and a mental image of a girl, despite having no mind, or eyes that can process visual imagery.
Conclusion?
If A&R tell us the transformed person has awareness, they do. If they don’t tell us so… it’s probably not relevant to the plot one way or the other, and arrangements of coloured pixels on a screen aren’t real people, so don’t stress about it too much.
Miranda West is a grandmaster of Irony, isn’t she?
