A fantasy webcomic. Updates M-W-F.

Needing to absorb people’s souls in order to experience basic emotions is the power move of the ultimate sociopath.
See: Owl Lady from Song Of The Sea
guys if you haven’t, you should hover over the screen.
Agreed. Seriously. Red’s sense of humour is awesome
TL;DR: Princess Disarming detonates nuke under San Andreas, swallowing convention whole. The love of Prince Charming’s fanbase can no longer sustain his otherworldly Pantene powers. Princess Disarming wanted to study Charming’s Pantene powers in order to maintain her exalted position amongst all other geneticists.
Whoops didn’t mean to make this comment a reply.
Villain taking advantage of the fact that the hero is a paragon in order to accomplish her goals? Literally just dodging out of the way of a dramatic slow motion sword swing? Yaaasssss!
Sweet Twelfth Night reference in your username? Yaaas!
Vash gives off big Apollo vibes

“Princess Disarming”
I gonna need to remember that.
It’s really annoying that I can’t type “definitely” without fear of someone taking it as sarcasm.
I love this villain, intelligence to outwit gods, solid character design, unclear morality, all great stuff.
Really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
Not!Gondolin got Gondolin’d
“Gondolin’d” has me ROLLING
secondly, at least this one wasn’t doomed because they ignored a warning and multiple prophecies pertaining to this day or betrayed by a member of it’s ruling class.
Oh boy. Oh no she’s super evil. Definitely the bad guy. Oh dear.
The design on the eyes of both characters look amazing!! What else would I expect from Red!!
Notice how her speech bubble mimics that of a god…….hMmMmmmm
Today’s Alt Text:
ohhh so he’s a GOD
ohHhHso she collects and vivisects souls
OHHHH so THAT’S why she’s destroying the city
man I love getting answers. this is the best day ever
Now that I’m re-reading this, I just noticed that aside from Erin, she’s the only other character who can use multiple elements of magic. Kendal also said that the previous elemental Magus died a long time ago, but if the collector is consuming souls, maybe she was the old magus. (Or I’m over analyzing everything and she has an earth lacrima hidden under that cloak)
So…. (spoiler warning)
Wasnt the point of crushing the city to kill the residents and release their essence from Vash because the Collector couldnt get his soul otherwise? But that actually doesnt happen because Kendal comes back and hears all their voices? I would call this a plot hole, but this is Red we’re talking about. Anyone have an answer?
The people’s souls got unanchored from their bodies, and couldn’t anchor cash any more, as far as I can tell
I thought that the city will become important later but nevermind. Every city shot demands a zoom in view.
i think i’m in love with chimera lady
@Geebi, your local idiot and backtracker
Red has clarified that we’ve only seen that collector use life magic.
you might already know this by now. I think it was clarified very recently. as in a month or two ago
Oho, how sneaky!
Sacrifice all those people…
All just for one soul.
@Helgi
Huh. How is she using stone magic?
Huh.
Weird.
You know this super evil witch who’s there for us to hate? Yeah. She can step on me.
@DragonMaster66 no idea if you’ll ever read this, but the Collector really didn’t care about the people’s souls AT ALL. Literally all she needed to do was destroy the city, as both a physical and social construct, so that Vash would become unanchored from it. All the inhabitants’ souls stuck around after they died, but they still DIED, ergo the city no longer exists, ergo the Collector’s needs have been met. The plot thread there is quite consistent, I think!
So essentially all this was about:
A murdery plot to get his soul out
(Spoiler warning)
Based on the way she talks, I think the collector is somehow related to Erin, like his mother or immortal great grandma or something
That oop
Damn, she be cool
It occurs to me that we haven’t seen the Collector for at least a year. I’m curious as to what she will look like when we finally see her again, considering how much Red has grown as an illustrator!
Exposition.
Sin Count: 6 (because I forgot the counter AGAIN)
TRS: I SHALL STAB YOU! STALINIST!!
Witch with a B: BITCH! I’M A MAOIST, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NOW LET ME VILLAIN MONOLOGUE!
TRS: fine, explain why you crashed my concert.
Witch: well you see, your stupid cringe raccoon killing powers derives from your fanbase, so I got rid of them to deal with you. ŇØW ĢĮVƏ MË ÝŒÜŔ §ÖŲŁ
If i had a nickel for every time i read a not very well known webcomic where a character rips people’s souls apart, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
