Keychain 76-80

[Jukashi]

Everyone who asks a question like that is under the assumption that the size of the breasts is equal to the size of the penis/testicles. I don't see how the two bits of flesh would be linked, as they're different parts of the body entirely. If anything, massive breasts would more than likely lead to massive man-breasts if such a transformation actually happened.

This is Exalted, silly. Due to the Law of Angular Conservation of Appearance - which states that, if a Charm does not specifically say it alters Appearance, it doesn't - any person who shapeshifts will be just as beautiful by that shape's standards as by their own. Thus, if Marena is Appearance 4 and is therefore (in her case) a very feminine woman, she will upon becoming male have the appearance of a manly man.


So, if she has a pleasant softness, big hips and large breasts in her female form, she will as a man have a large penis, broad shoulders, and rippling muscles.


And probably a beard.


Intriguingly, the text for the Twin-Faced Hero Knack states that "Some Lunars prefer a perfectly neuter shape, which this Knack also makes possible." Now if I were the Storyteller, I would say hermaphrodism is fully possible.


As to strip slays, I'd say that parody, silliness or pervertedness are fine (though perhaps you could just put the link rather than the image). Really, just don't post anything that would get you booted off the forum anyway. And don't be too mean to Secret - not because of anything I'd do, but because there are quite a few people who like her a lot.


And finally, as to the inexplicableness of the comic...


... Figure it out.

And finally, as to the inexplicableness of the comic...
... Figure it out.

I've tried and failed.

 

[Jukashi]

Let's break it down a bit.


Silent Panel 1: Misho is not looking happy. Marena is standing next to/behind him, he is looking up towards her - perhaps she said something to him.


Panel 2: She hunkers down next to him, saying something and smiling. He smiles back, also saying something. Marena has made Misho feel better.


Panel 3: Laughing.


Panel 4: Misho blushes, looking at Marena. Marena looks surprised. Maybe a bit uncertain?


Panel 5: Marena looks away. She appears somewhat ashamed about something. Misho sighs.


Panel 6: Secret, one eye peeking open (presumably, we have been seeing the previous panels from her perspective), has a quizzical expression on her face. What, she wonders, was up with all that?

 

[Flagg]

I was thrown off by the lack of speech bubbles. It looked like a silent interaction to me.

 

[Quchu]

The Neverborn grasp on Secret must have censored out the discussion of a life-affirming act such as rape.

 

[Blayze]

I think I'll take the safe/cowardly way out and just post the concept.


"Jerry, I've got a problem. I'm really a woman, I'm in love with an oversexed sex-changed drag queen, I've been talked into gang-raping a goth hermaphrodite and I have a friend with a hat growing out of his head."


Edit:

the Law of Angular Conservation of Appearance

Science!

Wierd, but eh. I don't mind.

 

[merle]

Is this what happens when the Freedom Stone forum shuts down? Bored perverts gravitate here?

The who-wha forum? O.o


I'm sorry, I was just commenting randomly. Largely because I was way too tired for my own good...hope I didn't offend anyone.


And Marena + beard = ew! Beards are only good on dwarves. And sometimes wizards.

 

[Jukashi]

How about mustaches? Or stubble?

 

[merle]

How about mustaches? Or stubble?

I'm...just not a moustache-alone kind of person. Stubble can be nice, or a goatee (including a goatee plus moustache).


I just thought of that big bushy kind of beard...or even worse, a neckbeard! Only Lincoln ever pulled that one off.

 

[magnificentmomo]

Lincoln didn't have a neckbeard! His beard was so awesome, the named the style after him. Also while on the subject of presidential facial hair, Teddy Roosevelt's mustache is pretty manly and awesome.

 

[Thenlar]

Rock alligators!


Does that thing breed true? Because then Marena could bust out, eat it, and then trick other foxes...

 

[Quchu]

Without a doubt, this sudden divergion from the narrative is actually an allusion to what is actually transpiring in the main plot (that being Misho and Marena's rape of Secret.) I must applaud Jukashi's ability to portray such a graphic and possibly profane scene so subtly and succinctly, this almost makes up for the God-forsaken, utmostly uninteresting and needlessly humorless filler issues he has made so far. My hat is off to you, and I didn't know he liked it like that.

I'm just...going...to sit over there, now. O_o


This particular strip did take a turn for the cartoonish, though. It's cute! I have to wonder what happens if a Lunar tries to shift into, say, a big nasty form while inside the relatively small space of a predator's mouth? Would the shapeshifting do damage to the Lunar, the critter, or both...or would Marena just end up being unceremoniously spat out, quickly?

 

[Flagg]

#78 is teh win.

 

[Jukashi]

Rock alligators!

Rockodile.

 

[Persell]

I think, for now, #78 is currently the best of all of the comics.  It's mainly because it adds a new element: Now we know the characters are in the Bordermarches.  It's sprung on us in such a way that I am way too unsurprised by it, and still giggling.    Trying to avoid having to draw carnage of a little bunny?  DU ET.  Make blood cover the rocks!


As a sidebar, Marena as a fox is adorable.  My mind is going with mentals of everyone else as baby animals right now.  Misho as probably a hound, Ten Winds as a snake, and Secret?  A kitty.

 

[cyl]

I laughed so hard, Juk, you're a genius man, I love you !  :lol:

 

[Jukashi]

I don't know what you people want.

 

[merle]

I don't know what you people want.

Action! Romance, comedy, (a little) tragedy!


Oh, and full frontal - *gets dragged away by the cliché police*


*as he's being dragged away*


and GIANT ROBOTS!

 

[Flagg]

I don't know what you people want.

Whatever it is, this last comic has it.

 

[Coyotekin]

ROTFLMAO. "Fucking bordermarches" I was dying. My friend doesn't know Exalted......yet, so he didn't quite get why it was so fucking funny.


My Abyssals book will be here soon.

...Tengen Toppa Gurren Keychain?

 

[Quchu]

Obviously, the Sword of Creation is actually a Creation-sized Warstrider. The Imperial Manse is nothing but its cockpit.


...'s cockpit.

 

[merle]

Poor Secret!


...and poor rockodile. I hope it wasn't the first of a new species, or it'll be the last of a new species, too.
