>Keith's mother tried to assasinate his father

>My face

:O
PLOT TWIST.

Alabaster has some brains, thank god.

And queue the latest voting incentive...

bathing a dead chick, classy

I've always wondered.

You see a lot of cliche stories about a man and a woman from two different ethnicity's meeting, falling in love, and having a kid, and the story follows that kid's hardships because one of his parents, almost always the mom, was some kind of lower-caste barbarian trash.

Why do the parents just never have a kid, knowing that their society will look down upon it so fiercely? Is the concept of parenthood worth the risk that the kid will go through hell all his life?

*why don't, rather.

*sigh*
TBH, I find all this Basitin politics stuff pretty boring. When 95% of a character's personality is based on being lawful-insane, you don't have a lot of variety in your cast.

>>3061
I imagine condoms are hard to come by in pseudo-medieval fantasy worlds.

>>3061
The same thing could be said about any socially disadvantaged group. Why do minority couples have kids, knowing they'll suffer through racism? Why do poor people raise families, when they won't be able to provide the best for them?

Love and children are just gonna happen, and you do the best you can. That's the way it is.

>>3061

Ok let me guess

someone else finds out, kills her, he walks in, Keith's sees his farther over his mother's body, assumes the worst and kills his farther

>>3069
...I'm not seeing what that scenario would have to do with Keith being able to 'resist orders' and having no compulsion?
It's more likely this is a racially discriminative jab at Keidrans by the Basitins.

>>3074

Why would Keidran figure into it at all? Kieth's mother was Basitin, just from a different tribe.

>>3074

in the blood bullshit

>>3076
Oh, right. Keith's the one that had the Keidran.

BUT, that still boils it down to racial discrimination.

>>3082

I liked my idea better, They tried to kill keiths father, mother failed.

Keith came home and finished the job or his father committed suicide.


Basitins are in a predisposition to follow orders given. Using the secret forbidden love is pretty cliche'.

And the whole " keith is a special snowflake " kinda kills it for me.

Keith was the everyman, non gary stu.

>>3087
everything about this webcomic is a massive cliche

hell my shitty webcomic is less cliche and I literally googled up a map of Franch to pick the names of cities

(And nothing of value was lost.)

>>3092

His has correct spelling.

>>3092

Tom lacks research and the energy to do so.

You lack the brain and possibly the attention span for objectivity in analysis.

>>3092

At least you admitted your comic was shitty and gave us the courtesy of not linking us to it.

So does any one think Single female lawyer will join the group?

>>3095
Wouldn't it, then, be more intelligent to make updates less frequent and, I don't know, make good characters, a story, or something good?
oh but I forgot, he just loves making excuses to draw naked undetailed furry ass and tits.

>>3138

Why the fuck are you asking me? He's the one who decided to update weekly, a weekly single-page update, no less. If I was him, I wouldn't have chosen that option.

If you feel like he's clamping your balls so hard that it no longer feels moist, then you should personally take it up to him. My only role is to provide food for thought to his plate because I prefer not to SoulKat/Leoian his ass with my own visions of his comic, I'm aware that the technical gap between me and him is pretty far, and I don't know if he has the energy to fill in that gap as much as possible.

Or you could be, oh I dunno, a typical anon and dismiss this as whiteknighting.

Just passing through.

>>3238

So, it's basically the old goat who screws up everything forever for everyone?

I'm shocked. Aren't you?

>>3239

Do I have to be? Walking plot devices aren't that uncommon, from what I can remember.

>>3238
I've been unable to pinpoint WHY this page looks better than previous ones for about two minutes.

Look at the detail in this thing! It almost looks legit. Almost.

>>159325

The lighting work is more complete, and the camera angles are more dramatic.

>>3265
Not just that, but there's more stuff in the background than ever before.

>>3238
Oh joy.

2 possibilities:
-Cornelius is Keith's mother's killer and gets fucking exiled like he deserves.
-He was entirely within his rights as Supreme Godleader of Everything to do whatever the crap he wanted and nothing gets done.

>>3274

It's been established that Keith is the one who killed Cornelius.

>>3274
Haven't you read the comic?
Keith killed Cornelius who appeared to have killed his wife, but Alabaster probably did it.
Now Cornelius, Keith's Mother AND Alabaster are dead.

>>3290

You'd think the old asshole would have been told no atleast once in his life.

>>3337

... Female district?

They make the married women live separately? Even from their husbands?

The Basitin have actually managed to surpass Muslims on the "WTF" dogmatic scale.

>>3338

Yeah that is pretty stupid....

Idiots who can't handle their alcohol: Destroying families and lives, even in non-existent universes.

Ever notice that it thunderstorms quite a bit in Basitintopia?

>>3338

Maybe they're like "The Race" from the World War series where they're driven to near insanity with mating lust except not quite as severe and without seasons.

...Nah, just bad writing.

>>3345

Well, "bad" might be going a little far. "Silly", "slightly ridiculous", maybe those.

I mean, he clearly thought this out, and had a reason for doing that way, he just took it a little far. There are stops between "good" and "bad"... in writing, many of them.

>>3342
It IS an island.

>>3342
Melodrama causes atmospheric ionization.

Scientific fact.

>>3345

Keidran and basitin sexual cycles.

in order to prevent mass masogyny. Women cannot control themselves during these periods and would most likely do anything for sexual reprieve.


Also mating is timed to keep the population in check.


what I don't get is if Keith is so much different, why didn't he tap natani before? It's not like he's in the predisposition not to.

unless of course this was his own choice not to.

>>3364

Basitin women aren't Keidran women. Keith seems to have been completely unfamiliar with the idea of females going into heat when he encountered it in Keidran, and he doesn't extrapolate that into applying to human women that we see (implying he realized he was merely ignorant), so no. Basitin females don't go into heat. That's not the reason why.

>>what I don't get is if Keith is so much different, why didn't he tap natani before? It's not like he's in the predisposition not to.

... Just... stop posting.

Really expected after such buildup, still, a sad case of communication kills :(.

Also, 666 unique user posts right now!

>>3368

Seems like he left out exactly HOW the poor communication killed, though. I mean, it can be assumed, but still. After all the good art and pages filled with emotion, not showing us Keith's father's reaction to finding his mother's body seems like a copout.

But then Tom's had a death in the family semi-recently, he might not have been comfortable dwelling on it, maybe. Iunno. Just seems strange.

God... that stab panel.

Don't you just hate it when they got them blank faces? It doesn't look nice, it doesn't add more "deep" to the scene.

Their just blank faces, no emotions means no emotions.

>>3372
Every time he uses the blank faces, I see them as mannequins.

>>3365

What? really?

Because for some reason I'd have figured he'd have known by now growing up in a keidran village.

I'm going to have to skim through the comics again.

>>3340
Ya see 'this' is the exact reason why they need door bells..Not to mention every is just waltzing on into a residence -mind you it is keith's home but still =()!
He could have been all, "Honeeeh im hooo- AAAHH That stain is NEVER gonna come out!"
As Keith results in killing his dad before mourning over the ruined carpet.

>>3372
>>3373

Some say he omits faces but faced with omitting, can't we all admit that he faced an omitable offense... right?

>>3368

Note how Cathleen died in almost the exact same way Al Sr. killed one of his own men with his apparently adamantium-tempered bulbous wooden cane. Walled Hazards, anyone?

>>3407

That or Tom copy-paste it

>>3487

You two just HAD to talk loud enough for the patrol to come wheezing down your ears. -_-

>>3488

Basitins have really, really good hearing.

>>3487
is mike a boy or girl here?

>>3491

boy, but it looks like Tom doesn't care anymore

>>3492

Tom seems to have more imagination than the fans when it comes to his characters.

Natani and trace...didn't see that one coming.

>>3507
Actually a fan came up with that pairing... Tom just found it funny and made a pic for it

Tom now has a donations section on the twokinds site. You can get some free wallpapers for donating two bucks. For every $100 total that's donated, he will do an additional comic page. The donations section has only been up for a couple days.

He owes 9 pages.

Lulz.

>>3578

Hory clap.

>>3578
It's been increased to 11 since then. Wow.

>>3578
Hahaha, instant money!

Anyone want to take bets on how high that number of comics owed will get before we even see the next comic? My money's on 18.

>>3602
30

New comic's up. Apparently Flora doesn't care about any of her travel companions except Trace.

And Mike still looks as feminine as he did when he was a girl.

>>3611
>And Mike still looks as feminine as he did when he was a girl.
who says thats a bad thing :3

>Apparently Flora doesn't care about any of her travel companions except Trace.

Well, what do you expect? Out of the other three left on the island, one's a slaver, one's a traitor, and one's an assassin. It's a wonder they travel together at all.

>>3604

Just talked to him. He says he has to update the donation bar manually. It's currently near 21 pages owed, and he hasn't updated the bar to reflect it.

>>3616

[00:00:43] [Tom] I'll be updating the comic three times a week. The comics will be caught up in 10 weeks.
[00:00:59] [Tom] I honestly did not expect so many donations within one week. xP
[00:01:14] [Orochi] Tom: did you meet your goal, and then some?
[00:01:25] [Tom] My goal was 300 dollars.

>>3615

And Trace is a former mass murder who started a genocidal war

>>3620

Who doesn't remember any of that.

>>3621

Yes, but he might regain his memories. We've already seen bits of his old personality come out in the comic, and who's to say that he won't just go back to his old self if he ever manages to regain his memories?

>>3623

Still doesn't matter for the purposes of this discussion. Flora doesn't know Trace the Genocidal Madman. Flora only knows Trace the Amenesiac Sweetheart. There's no reason for her to factor in the Genocidal Madman when she's making her decisions about him.

The others, she's met them all as exactly what they are. Also, from her perspective, most of them are probably perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. Natani is a ninja assassin, if she's alive she can probably get out on her own. (Or would be able to if she weren't foolishly hung up on Keith.) Keith is in his homeland, Flora doesn't have any reason to worry about him because she doesn't really know what assholes the Basitin are to their own kind. However, the last times she saw Trace, he was either unconscious and helpless, or out of control and looking for her.

It's perfectly sensible for her to be worried about him the most.

Are Flora and Kat re-enslaving Mike and Evals?

>>3637
Nope, just making them stay and risk their lives for somebody they don't give a flying fuck about.

>>3621

Yes because forgetting you killed hundreads of unarmed people makes it all better

This Jewish poster would probably still feel the same way about Adolf Hitler even if she were to meet him in a nicer, amnesiac state.

>>3644
Are you thick? Flora, as far as I can remember, doesn't know that. Not only that, but she is carrying his child. How dare she care about what becomes of the father of her baby, the man who she loves. She should care more about everyone else there, because that makes perfect sense!

>>3646
Does she even know she's pregnant yet? I keep losing track.

>>3648

A Basitin doctor tried to tell her that she was, but since she only ever did the dirty with a human, and inter-species breeding between the two is impossible, she didn't believe it.

>>3646

OF COURSE SHE KNOWS

Everyone knows, but Trace

Slave-dog's got a pretty good point for a comic relief character so one-dimensional that he only gets the word "slave" backwards for a name.

>>3661

He's trying to save his own hide because he concluded that 4 people against the whole Eastern Basidian army would be like a lone untrained peasant militia against 10,000 mounted knights.

Flora insists they press on and rely on her luck and guts because she wants her man back.

I'd say Evals is acting pretty naturally.


>he only gets the word "slave" backwards for a name.

Oooooooooooooooooh SNAP!!

I wonder how many more pages this useless banter will go on for.

>>3701

Yes, all this characterization and actual interaction between characters must be frightfully dull for you.

I'm sure your afternoon cartoons will be on soon to make it all better. I hear on the latest Yu-Gi-Oh show, they duel cards on motorcycles! You must be excited.

Tom seems to be updating at several times his normal speed, I guess that send-me-money-athon wasn't a load of rubbish like I was expecting.
