Seductive Roselyn? She doesn't need to be seductive, she's already perfect!

I don't care if shes older than dirt, the fact there is wild country girl hidden under that regal facade shes wearing is hot as hell and I'd have so much fun teasing her into letting herself be herself

Wouldn't fuck her though, while tempting I doubt shes as strong as she used to be at that age so I'd setting for some loving cuddling while teasingly calling her grandma

somewhere in her late 20's (Yeah I know she should be dead of old age)

She was around 10 when Euchre impregnated Mary, and Raine is 19 according to her bio so yeah late 20's at very least

Pity she's probably beyond breeding age, I'd imagine she'd look dangerous while in heat

Magic, I bet she in reality is a master mage and have solved the keidran age limit long ago.
>>
>>8515867
Two things to consider: Elderly wolves and dogs aren't like humans in that even at extreme age they still have fur pigmentation albeit dulled due to the chemicals being in much lower quantity when produced by the follicles. Secondly the chemical responsible for red hair is Phaeomelanin, and even in humans that particular chemical continues to be produced in fair quantity even when the person is of an older age resulting in the orangish silver hair you see in many elderly folk. So yeah.... NERDGASM!

>>8517121
Probably gonna get revealed with a scene of Maren puking like a fountain over Sythe in the next chapter with an added implied romantic night flashback.
>>
>>8515485
Assuming that it's the timeline that is fucked and the keidran life expectancy (21-24 at most) still stands, somewhere around 20.
>>
>>8517121
They won't. Sythe like to tease but only because it annoys her which amuses him. Maren herself has never indicated any interest in Sythe at all.

Sure Sythe showed concern about her when she was drugged and helpless but that is only because its in his nature to care even if hes a bit of a coward. Hell for their fighting if it were Red instead of Maren and Karen knocked out I think he'd probably be just as concerned for his safety as the others.

I think at best Sythe and Maren may become begrudged friends with both their prejudices lessened by their time together. Fucking though? I can't see it happening.
>>
>>8517490
She can't be 20 as that would have made her a year old when Eurche got Mary pregnant. She sure didn't look like a child in that flashback of Raines

This is irrelevant.

Human women are hungry for throbbing wolf knots and feral, rutting intercourse. They have to fuck.

Not until Maren sees Trace with Flora, then she'll forgot about him and realize if Mr 'Hitler to Keidran' can bring himself to fuck a Tiger, maybe she can bring herself to spread her legs for a Wolf.

He revised the upper-end Keidran lifespan to 25-30 some time last month according to one of the streams.

>>
>>8519860
7 for a Keidran is somewhere around 18-22 for a Human so it still kinda fits in.
>>
>>8519909
Flora said shes considered an adult at 11 but its never specified when Keidran are officially an adult. Also because they are a different species they could reach maturity faster in relation to age than humans in relation to age so who knows.

Considering Flora looks like a girl in in her late teens though it raises the question to how mature a 7 year old Natani or Rose really is. Maybe mature enough to be considered adult, but not mature enough to be eligible for breeding perhaps.
>>
>>8519965
BULLSHIT! Flora is 11 and she doesn't even look 18-22
>>
>>8520003

2013 April Fool's suggests otherwise. It's possible Young Rose was older than what the retroactive ages made her.

In the absence of non-comment proof it's best to assume she was slightly younger than or the same age as Flora until the comic states further.

I'm willing to bet the reason rose is so old and still alive is the edgelord trace figured out some super primitive way of extending keidran life expectancy with dark magic but the tradeoff is she can't leave the manor
that's also what my money's on being on the third floor is whatever dark engine is keeping rose alive
which is why she made that comment about being impressed if they could remove her from the manor

>which is why she made that comment about being impressed if they could remove her from the manor

Roselyn is the Seneschal of the Legacy Estate and Trace is the Duke of Edinmire and hes been missing for months.

A Seneschal is basically on par with a Steward in their masters absence, basically in charge of their affairs until they return. In short the reason Roselyn would be impressed if the guard removed her is because they wouldn't have had the authority to. Hell the Templar themselves might have not been able to legally since only somebody higher than Trace would have been able to order her removal and with the King assassinated, Wolfs destroying villages and ivading, the other Dukes and Lords are probably busy with more important things than an elderly Snow wolf with no real authority outside keeping Traces mansion from falling apart.

The third floor of the estate is reserved for all illegitimate pups Trace had with Roselyn

Well if you are going to be like that then Trace used magic to turn Roses cookie cunt into a human cunt so it'd be okay for him to bang to fill Roses womb with illegitimate pups

I get the sneaking suspicion that after Saria died he didn't spend too much time at the estate for two reasons

1. Rose is still there and alive, if Trace had been around a lot he likely would have killed her at some point as it doesn't take much to set him off and its clear Rose doesn't like him and isn't intimated by him (The whole quip about the rumors of his demise and how unfortunate that hes still alive)

2. Before the Kings Assassination and Wolf War, Free wolf and tiger Keidran were living in relative harmony (if not peace) with Edinmire residents. Trace was a genocidal tyrant with a hate on for all things Keidran, why would ever allow that unless he didn't and was neglecting managing his own lands to focus on the bigger picture elsewhere

I could be wrong but it just make a whole lot of sense to me that the seat of Trace's power would essential so friendly Keidran unless he barely there.
>>
>>8525504
Actually forget #1

I forgot about Euchre who agreed to join him in the coup in exchange for sparing Mary, that deal probably extended to Rose and Raine or he had enough leverage to at least keep them safe

If not Euchre then there is Nora or the very least the fact that Saria and Rose were close which may have been enough to stay Traces hand since killing her would dishonor her memory which was addled in his mind as it was.

Might as well be teaching Natani how to knit crochet, it'd make about as much sense but then again what can you expect from a sketch which solely exists so as an excuse to have Kats bum in Natani's groin.

I wonder if what would ultimately help Keith get over his past would be if he saw a vision of his parents from Basitin heaven, and his father is like "All is forgiven, son. We'll all be together again someday."

Errant thought
The East Basitin region is segregated by gender with males and females living in separate districts, right? So how were Cathleen and Cornelius able to stick around each other so much? Was she illegally hiding out in his house or something?

Curious thoughts: has Natani ever even shown attraction towards girls? Kat is basically an omnisexual virgin who is just desperate to have someone love her in a romantic way, but so far as I can recall Nat is basically Keithsexual. Her reactions to Kat have generally been ones of confusion and cluelessness rather than being flustered.

It's like even though Natani wants to be a guy, she's still "one of the girls" and doesn't feel any differently about contact or closeness with the same sex than any other straight girl would. I guarantee you that if a male character ended up in any of the compromising positions with Kat that Natani has found herself in, they'd have luminescent blush all over their face, but Natani gives no such reaction and just shrugs it off.

She also acts somewhat as his conscience either directly or indirectly (when shes hurt by something Trace does Keith will step in and set him straight). Without her around Trace likely would have went insane four times over and killed everybody by now.

What has Kat done? She convinced Eric to take the group to the Basitin Isles but not because she emphasized with them but because she wanted to spend time with Eric. She butted in on Trace and Flora more than once and not on orders either. Shes trying to butt in now on Natani and Keith and doesn't realize shes being inappropriate. She made an outfit for Natani but only because she wanted to lash out at Eric for something he didn't even realize he did. She stuck with Natani when she was in a coma sure but the moment Keith was away she was asking Natani if she'd consider her as a possible girlfriend. About the only real contributions shes made to the party for non-selfish reasons was standing up to Eric concerning Mike and Evals, and offering an ear to Natani before she got inappropriate with it.

>Flora is the worst girl
Not saying shes best but she is important to the group where Kat is not. She could leave the story right now and nothing really would change, remove Flora however you are basically removing Trace's only reason to remain a good person.

> I can think of people saying otherwise is because they have sexual fantasies of her
I'm here for the canines, not the felines
>>
>>8535803
Oh and forgot to mention that she also stuck with Natani when the ship was burning even though she knew she couldn't do much and could die if she stayed. I have to admit that even if I don't like Kat, that still took courage which we rarely see from her (the only other two times we saw it was with Roderick and her standing up to Eric on behalf of Mike and Evals)

Only because you've been fanboying and white knighting for Kat nonstop the past few threads. If you can't handle criticism of your waifu then stop making blanket statements about her which beg for a response and/or refutation. If you didn't I'd have nothing to respond to.

>No one "thinks shes the most important character"

Clearly someone does in saying that Kat has contributed more than Flora which is idiotic as without Flora there would be no story.

1. Shes not a bimbo, she'd need tits for that
2. Sad thing is, it sort of does. Flora is the reason group A even exists as if she never met with Trace the beginning he wouldn't have gone into town (since he didn't even know there was one) to meet Keith and Natani wouldn't have been hired to kill him and take back Flora, Flora is the reason they are currently in Edinmire since its all so they can reach Lyn'Knoll, Flora is the reason Trace either hasn't been capture by the Templar or hasn't gone insane, and Flora is the reason Kat, Mike, and Evals are now Free (least once Trace finalizes the deal). She maybe a shit character too but her importance to the story is clear.

That is like saying you could remove Captain Kirk and Spock from Star Trek and still have a show. While technically true, it'd be the same Star Trek but something completely different.

The same is true of Two Kinds, you remove Trace and Flora then it all falls apart. Keith is only still in the story because he wants to support Trace and Flora, Natani is there because of Keith and her orders to spy on Trace. And Group B is heading to Edinmire to reunite with Trace. Futhermore without Trace Eric has no deal therefore Mike and Evals remain slaves.

And that kind of stuff is what makes her story inretesting despite being among the weaker plot lines in the overall story. You see her rise to power from a hopeless situation to basically being among the biggest players in the show. It is also interesting to see her struggle between trying yo be a benevolent ruler and also wants to harshly punish those against her.

What I was hoping to see from Kat though probably won't happen is her increasing desire for independence and see what happens when she is no longer with Eric.

I think ultimately Kat and Eric will end up together, but not until and unless Eric goes through some kind of redemptive arc. Ultimately his arc was a demonstration that there's no such thing as a good slave owner, and until he makes amends for his transgressions he and Kat can't be together.

How about you take your own advice. Nobody has talked about SkanKat for a few hours now and the last person that did was ignored save for an image response indicating that its not something the other person wanted to really touch on.

You telling people to stop it right now is like walking onto a battlefield during a ceasefire, unslinging a rifle and firing shots past the enemy commanders head while screaming 'stop waging war on us!'. You are basically begging for the flamewar to become hot again.

I bet you are the same autistic fag from before who can't let criticism of Kat go. If you are and you really want it to stop than stop replying, that includes requests to stop criticizing your waifu as thats an invitation to criticize your waifu on forums such as these.

>best personality

What personality? Shes a bit of an enigma, acting one way one moment and completely different the next depending on the situation. She's bubbly and immature universally but beyond that we don't know which of the personalities are really hers and which are just part of another ruse.

>stronger than natani probably
Doubtful, even as a Basitin shes still a kid while Natani is an adult who trains her body as one of her hobbies

>a lieutenant at the age of 16+
Nice Headcanon to justify your pedophilia, she said she was 13 and until the comic says otherwise there is no reason to assume she lied. Being a lieutenant does not mean shes older than she seems. Its a low rank and Basitins do allow young teens into their military as indicated by the fact Keith was entering the military before he got banished and would have been in sooner had his mother not held him back.

>capable of combat and scouting
Considering position then scouting is a given, but combat? Shes already shown she prefers to use her head rather than sword, which isn't a bad thing.

>>
>>8549615
Considering Tom has drawn some rather suggestive art of her before her character was even fleshed out (pic related), can you really blame him for remaining vague as to her true age? Hes keeping his ass covered.

Also

1. Shes smiling because shes been trusted, that doesn't mean everything she said was a lie. She could have mixed truth with lies, after all the best lies are ones which include the truth

2. Even if she was lying about her age that doesn't mean she still isn't a minor. Saying shes 16+ is completely baseless

3. There was no point in highlighting the words "Her child-like appearance" as those words would still be appropriate even if she were 13, read the rest of the paragraph. The context still fits.


Again until the comic says otherwise there is nor reason to assume she is older that she said she was.

>>
>>8549767
and clearly she played up the child act for flora because she's pregnant and overflowing with maternal instinct, and not to mention one of the dumbest members of the cast
>>
>>8549759
Doesn't mean shes stronger than Natani especially since Keith has had a lot of trouble overpowering her in the past without fighting dirty himself. The point is, Maddie is still young and doesn't train like Natani does as such its doubtful she is stronger.

Furthermore we don't know how strong Basitin women are in comparison to Keidran women, Basitins appear far more sexually dymorphic then Forest Wolfs are (ie while a Keidran male is half as strong as a Basitin male that doesn't mean a Keidran female is half as strong as a Basitin female)

>but what's the advantage of looking like a child if you actually are a frail little child and not a developed young adult with the strength of your age crammed in the frame of a child

Did you read the bio that you showed me? That danger is in underestimating her ability based on her appearance. Basitins are not frail and nor are their youths, if they were then wouldn't be allowed in the military. You can repeat that shes a young adult until you are blue in the face, until Tom or the comic says otherwise there is zero reason to assume that she is anything but a minor.

>she's trying to make eric look like a pedo in front of trace and flora, playing into her "age" and flora's maternal instinct to defend the "young"

And this is a refutation why? Again her doing that to Eric doesn't mean she was lying about her age, she could have been using her age to sell the lie. There in reason to assume she lied about her age, or if she was lying about her age that she isn't a minor. Saying shes an adult is completely baseless, even if she lied about being 13 there is no evidence shes that mature.

Yeah I'm totally comfortable calling him a pedo. As to her being mature? Where? Here >>8550310, as a pointed out Madelyn at this point in the comic had a completely different personality then what we got when she made her appearance on Erics ship, hell she even looked different. So different in behavior at least as they look like two separate characters. That is because Madelyn wasn't originally intended to continue on as a regular, that decision came a few years later and required Tom to flesh her out, in doing so he completely changed her down to how she acts and her appearance to look younger than she did on the Basitin Isles.

Madelyn isn't even supposed to be there, she essentially went AWOL to follow Keith like a puppy, Adeliade at very least didn't approve it.

Also deception towards Keith would be seen as a threat especially when the person how is being deceptive is trying to lure him somewhere secluded. Can you really blame her for having her Basitin sense triggered.

So I was thinking about the East Basitin Islands and I think they are a bit of a satire of Jewish and Asian culture, both of which Tom has in his family tree. Both are known for rigid adherence to traditions, and Asian culture is often stereotyped with high-expectations from parents and conformity. The Basitin obsession with law is where the Jewish part comes in. Jewish tradition incorporates lots of so-called "fence laws" that were put in place as minor no-nos to deter Jews from violating actual Levitical laws, but at some point the priesthood decided these "fence laws" were just as important as the original laws, and then built new fence laws around those. Eventually it became a big autistic mess that no-one but the most pious of followers can make sense of, and the purpose of the original laws were largely forgotten. This is a large part of why so much Jewish comedy involves complaining about little annoyances that everyone puts up with but never questions, because that is Jewish culture in a nutshell.

What made me think about this was Keith's assertion that the Basitin leaders had made a religion out of following laws without ever questioning them. That is probably Tom's criticism of his own experiences involving certain Jewish customs and rules.

>Keith already knows who she is and that she's manipulating everyone

Unless its not a routine and she really is a little girl, a highly manipulative one but a girl none the less. Trace, Natani, and Keith had met her already on the Isles, if shes trying to pass herself off as being someone else or completely different shes doing a shit job if shes a spy as that would only raise their characters suspicions not lessen them.

The more sensible explanation is that the Maddie we saw on the Isles was an early version before Tom had decided to make her into a fully fledged supporting character requiring more caricature then she would have needed if she remained a throw away background character whose only function is to advance the plot.

>but he probably knows everyone is going to fall for it anyway so there's no point in complaining

That makes even less sense, why would Keith allow Maddie to act falsely around his friends, two of which already know her and can't have forgotten what she was like on the Isles (it was only a few weeks ago from their perspective), furthermore what does Keith gain by allowing Maddie to essentially sow seeds of conflict around him for seemingly no reason

>So far as he knows Maddie is just there to spy on him so he doesn't really care unless she does things to ruin his life.

She isn't there to spy on him though, shes not even supposed to be there, shes AWOL abandoning her post to follow Keith like a puppy or a kid chasing their hero in hopes of becoming their sidekick.

Also driving a wedge between your friends and the captain of the ship you are currently chartering for no reason isn't potentially fucking his life up? What if Eric retaliated against the baseless accusations against him, tossed them all on a lifeboat and sent them adrift? We all know Eric can become a ruthless asshole if pissed off, Maddie was just playing a sadistic and pointless game because SHES A CHILD, and this time I'm not being literal.
>>
>>8554821
Two other things you forgot Lynn is there, Maddie being the Kings daughter makes it highly likely Lynn knows everything that needs to be known about her because that is literally his job. Secondly Maddie maybe the the Kings daughter but Keith vastly outranks Maddie and Basitins are genetically dispositioned to follow their superiors orders. In short Keith could order her to do anything and she'd be compelled to obey. We saw what resisting orders did to Keith, a half eastern Basitin, imagine what it'd do to a full eastern Basitin.
>>
>>8554821
Keith doesn't know Maddie made that accusation about Eric. If he did he'd surely want to get to the bottom of it, but he probably would trust Eric's reputation more than Maddie's if he knows her to be a manipulator.

If Maddie has been spying on the ship, we would likely know that Eric is on thin ice with Flora due to his abusing of Evals and stubbornness about letting Trace buy their freedom. She also would have known that Eric is a pervert and a furry. She was preemptively driving a wedge between Flora and Eric because she rightly predicted that it would push Flora to her side if she needed someone to protect her from being punished for stowing away, nearly burning the ship down, and stirring up a bunch of unnecessary drama between Eric and his slaves.

Only it was completely unnecessary, hell her stowing away on the ship was unnecessary. All she had to do was tell Keith that she'd be assigned to him before anybody had a chance to question it and she could have walked right onto the ship, no muss and no fuss. What is Eric going to do about it? The Basitin's are holding his ship, he picks a fight with them they may not let him leave, so why risk it.

She also could went with all sorts of easier stories which wouldn't have driven a wedge between passangers and the captain, why pick one which would guarantee the ire of the Captain who she already has a dangerous relationship already. At best she was making a tense situation even worse even with new allies. Plus small ship, not exactly a large number of people on it... how long would she really expect the lie to not be found out?

Howls are pretty distinct amongst wolves conveying all sorts of information, it is how wolves communicate with other pack members when they are separated after all. Natani tries to pass herself off as a guy, my guess is if she used her natural howl that it'd pretty much advertise to every wolf in ear shot that shes most definitely a chick so she tries to make it sound deeper or whatever but ends up ruining it in the process

Maddie wasn't even supposed to be on the ship in the first place. Either it was a case of hero-worship gone too far, or she is pushing some kind of secret agenda, but the fact of the matter is that she's resorted to deception to get onto the boat and used more deception to avoid being locked away in the brig.

Eric is a lot of things but one thing he's never shown himself to be is dishonest. He's probably the most forward person in the whole comic in regards to what he's thinking and what his intentions are.

It's really a shame that Natani didn't have more time to spend with King Adelaide. I think a lot of her problems stem from the fact that she's never had a good female role model in her life due to growing up in wolf culture, and the king is pretty much exactly the person she should be looking up to for inspiration since she's pretty much everything Natani is except she has it all together.

Natani's problem really boils down to the fact that she has both a "girlish" side and a "boyish" side, and rather than be comfortable exploring who she really is, her boyish side feels the need to dominate and suppress her femininity. This is a problem, because numerous times Natani has been shown to actually enjoy "girly" things, but she rarely lets herself because she doesn't want to acknowledge that part of herself. Maintaining the manly facade has come at the cost of denying not just her body but a fundamental part of her own personality, and doing this is keeping her from being happy. She can never be herself until she acknowledges both sides of her personality instead of pretending that only one exists.

Every time Natani has encountered something girly, she seems to go through a kind of split personality reaction. She is both fascinated by it and terrified of being fascinated by it. It's no wonder she's so up-tight, given that she mentally punishes herself for liking things that are perfectly natural for her to like.

Well that didn't work out too well at all as she still ended up in the brig anyway. Either way it didn't seem like the brig was that much of issue for her cause she broke out that same night even when Eric doubled the locks.

>Maddie wasn't even supposed to be on the ship in the first place

I know that, I argued that myself. What I was saying is out of all the ways to gain allies, accusing the Captain of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable wasn't the best of choices under the circumstances especially when stuck on a small ship you want to remain running smoothly if you ever plan on reaching port. When traveling through the ass end of nowhere, the last thing you want to do is fuck with your ride, especially they never wanted to give you a ride in the first place.

Gaining Flora and Traces support only goes so far, its still Eric ship and on that ship hes god. Best not gain his ire by accusing him of being a pedophile.

Furthermore, it as a rather dick move on Maddie's part by sheer fact that Eric helped save her people from destruction.... Basitins have a funny way of treating their heros.... then again they also wanted to execute Natani so meh.

>Eric is a lot of things but one thing he's never shown himself to be is dishonest

Case in point would be Basitin attitudes towards nudity. They were so obsessed with modesty that they made laws about keeping their feet wrapped up as a "safety guard" against seeing exposed body parts, even though it's more comfortable for beast races to be barefoot. What they've ended up with is that everyone on their half of the island has a systemic foot fetish because feet are seen as something naughty and private, and simultaneously they have people modeling for nude statues and artwork under the pretense that it's not nudity because their feet are wrapped up. They couldn't be content to just leave the law as "don't run around naked in public" and ended up completely re-defining what is and isn't legally considered nudity to a laughable degree.

>>8559467
Eric was frequently trying to weasel his way into Flora's pants (or fur? whatever) but he pretty obviously broadcast his intentions and never forced himself on her. She agreed to model for his paintings and that is all that he obliged her to, even if he would have loved to have her scratch another notch into his bed post.

The only circumstances under which I think Eric would have actually hit on Maddie would be 1) if he was literally ignorant to the fact that Basitins have the same lifespan as humans (highly unlikely given how worldly and well read he is), or 2) that Maddie is actually older than she lets on and Eric saw through her. I think the most likely scenario is that Maddie made up the whole account of the incident though, because she's both manipulative and short-sighted.

Making enemies with the owner of the ship is a retarded thing to do but I don't think she was really thinking that far ahead. She wanted to sow seeds of discord because in her mind that means everyone will feel sorry for her and point fingers at Eric instead of her, which in her twisted little genki-girl mind somehow made sense.

Most likely it was originally going to be a love letter to Keith, and then Tom decided that Keith's love life was already complicated enough without adding a third girl to the mix.

Could also be the fact that out of the whole group, Natani was the only non-human to completely disregard the law and not wrap her footpaws, the wraps only appearing after she was knocked out and a doctor stripped her... then wrapped her feet because... you know what that didn't make much sense either as he left her naked other then wrapping her feet.

Not sure if these count but this is an excellent time to mention two things Tom did in this comic that I would pretty much avoid at all costs if I had been writing it: mayfly december romances, and having a group of characters where not everyone can understand each other's language.

Dealing with species who have different lifespans is kind of a pain and I get that some fiction handles it well, but in Twokinds it just gives everything this kind of bleak feeling of being a death march. Twice now Keith has fallen in love with Keidran even though he knows it's going to end in tears, and it's anyone's guess as to what's going to happen with Flora and Trace. It would be one thing if Keidran lived to be 50 while humans live to be 100 but a 20 year lifespan is fruit-fly tier. It dramatically limits the time frame in which the story can take place too, since if time advances too fast then the Keidran characters are going to have to start aging.

The language thing is a problem for me also, because it means that a character like Natani has to have plot conveniences for when she actually interacts with characters who can't speak Keidran, like Trace. Trace and Natani barely interact at all because of the language barrier, but when the plot requires it Natani conveniently knows how to speak some caveman-tier English. It's really isolating for her character since it means she can only really develop relationships with the characters who speak Keidran.

The easy solution to all this would be to have the gods decide that keidran should live as long as humans and basitins, but obviously there'd need to be a plot reason for why this change would happen. A keidran who is 10 years old would have their life extended by another 70 years or so, since they're in the equivalent of their 20s. You could jump ahead a year and show Natani having become fluent in human, and both Nat and Flora have basic reading skills. It could inject some cautious optimism into the comic's world.
>>
>>8560279
Another thing is that it could stir up drama when the Templar somehow become aware that Keidran are living longer. Their gut reaction would be that Keidran are going to out-breed humans and that they are now even more of an existential threat, and would use this as further justification for war. It would also have the potential of changing public perception of keidran over time, though. It's difficult for humans to form meaningful relationships with keidran since humans do everything so much slower, and keidran by nature have to do everything quickly because their lifespans are only 1/5-1/4 that of a human's.

The two big questions though would be what plot reason would the be for why Keidran have suddenly been given the same life-spans as humans and basitins, and how would someone in-universe become aware of it? It's not like the gods would just staple a notice on the town hall bulletin about it. However, maybe a year flash forward would be a good plot convenience for establishing this, since in a year's time many keidran would have perceptively aged under normal circumstances, whereas with a 100 year lifespan the changes would be notably absent across the board.

>characters who can't speak Keidran, like Trace

Actually Trace is a Polyglot just like Maddie, Lynn and Keith... but only when the plot finds it convenient. Actually he may even know more languages then Keith as there are two dialects to Keidran, Low Keidran and High Keidran, Keith and the Basitins probably have limited exposure the second dialect while Trace as the Grand Templar probably learned it.
>>
>>8560458
All the more reason to just end the confusion and either have Trace remember how to speak Keidran and be consistent about it, or have Natani learn how to speak human. This nonsense where people in the same group can't even carry on a conversation with each other (and not even consistently) greatly limits the potential for character development. It's also annoying that whenever Trace and Natani actually talk to each other, Natani is reduced to using caveman-speak.

>>8560448
I agree 100% with the life span thing. It's such a dumb idea, and I get the feeling Tom only included it early on so he could do the "Trace thinks he's a pedo after Flora says she's 11" joke and he's just been flying with it ever since.

It wasn't until sometime during the Basitin Isles arc that Keith stopped doing the Buckley face on almost every panel.
>>
>>8560694
I wouldn't be surprised if he regrets it on some level but I still don't know if he's thought that far ahead (he did spend like 8 years of the comic with the characters stuck on a boat). I highly doubt he was thinking beyond the "oh, she's only 11 in human years. In cat years she's an adult" gag. Then the fridge horror that they only live about 20 years with 30 years being the maximum kicks in, and rather than retcon it Tom decided to own it and run with it. Unfortunately though, the comic has only taken place over the span of a few months so the short lifespans of the keidran are still off in the territory of "we'll sort that out later." I would rather Tom just accept that it was a bad plot device and find a way to write it out that benefits the story.
>>
>>8560901
I don't think he will as one of the major plot points in the entire comic, the whole reason the world is currently tearing itself apart is because one man (Trace) couldn't accept the one universal fact of life, that it eventually ends.

Tom ignoring that major point would be like George RR Martin basically abandoning his position on War and making everybody in Ice and Fire live happily ever after completely unscathed by what they witnessed or experianced
>>
>>8561038
Humans and Keidran were already on bad terms before Trace showed up. He just made it way worse.

Also, part of why it's so difficult for humans and keidran to get along is probably the difference in lifespan. Humans don't see any value in developing friendships and relationships with Keidran because their lives are over so quickly, and Keidran don't see any value in relationships with humans because they're basically like trees that plant themselves in one place and change very little over the course of their lifespans. Humans do actually change and develop quite a bit, but most of the time a Keidran won't be around long enough to see it.

Obviously there's plenty of exceptions, but the lifespan issue is a serious detriment towards social and emotional compatibility. Why put up with the heartbreak of being involved with the other race when you can just stick to your own and ignore those who are different?

Okay.

1: Normalize Keidran lifespans. Unless you handle it well it's just dumb, and Tom didn't handle it well.

2: Natani and Zen are now the main characters of the comic. The comic is renamed Wolf Brothers. The comic starts out with Natani and Zen being tasked to investigate and trail the lone Basitin traveling through wolf territory. When they find out that his objective is to find Trace Legacy (who, after a reign of terror, has gone missing), they follow him. They eventually find Trace, who drove himself so insane with black magic that he wiped out his own memories. Queue moral dilemma about whether or not it is right to kill him when mentally he is not the same person who committed all those atrocities, argument and tension between Natani/Zen and Keith, and eventual decision to try and smuggle him out to the Basitin Isles as a compromise solution (Keith gets what he wants, Natani/Zen wash their hands of the situation). And we don't have so much focus on the most boring-ass characters in the comic, Trace and Flora.

3: Zen and Princess Clovis get married and have puppies.

>Humans and Keidran were already on bad terms before Trace showed up.

According to Nora and Sythe they were at relative peace 5 years ago, there was conflict yes but they weren't trying to destroy each other or were at war at the time. The way Sythe described it, they were even starting to get along which is what inspired him to want to become a diplomat.

>Also, part of why it's so difficult for humans and keidran to get along is probably the difference in lifespan. Humans don't see any value in developing friendships and relationships with Keidran because their lives are over so quickly, and Keidran don't see any value in relationships with humans because they're basically like trees that plant themselves in one place and change very little over the course of their lifespans. Humans do actually change and develop quite a bit, but most of the time a Keidran won't be around long enough to see it.

>Why put up with the heartbreak of being involved with the other race when you can just stick to your own and ignore those who are different?

Not to liken Keidran to house pets even if humans sometimes treat them as such, but have you ever owned a cat? A dog? A mouse? A gold fish? If you have, then why? They live only fraction of your lifespan, so why bother? I think in answering that question, you'll get an answer to yours.

Anyway this is distracted from the point I was making:

One of recurring themes which keeps coming up in Two Kinds is that when you try and cheat death it always comes back to bite you, its never without consequence. Nora's brought it up twice, Eric has brought it up, Saria's 'ghost' has brought it up, Euchres brought it, Keith learned that lesson first hand, and Trace is the reason the world is currently tearing its self apart all because he tried to cheat death and went completely insane in the process.

If Tom throws out the Keidran life span to make the readers happy, hes throwing out an important point he was trying to drive home.

These are pretty alright suggestions although I would hope it wouldn't affect the amount of screen time Keith gets. He really feels like the main character of the comic at a lot of times, because he gets a decent amount of attention while also being more interesting than Trace.

The problem with Trace is that he's a blank slate, and everything we find out about his past is always what an awful person he was before he lost his memory. He's your typical anime protagonist who is "special" but at the same time meant to be so bland and vanilla that anyone can imagine themselves in his role. Keith is more of the heroic loser archetype and that makes him much more endearing in the stories that are about him. I also think people can more easily relate to a character with a tragic past than an amnesiac who used to be evil, because amnesia is such an abstract concept.

With Trace everything good in his life just kind of fell into his lap. The very premise of his character (evil supervillain who turns good after getting amnesia) required no agency from him. He never actually had to get over all of the terrible things that made him evil, and in fact if he faces his memories he is at risk of unlocking something evil inside of himself. It's such a far-out concept compared to Keith, a lovable whimp who we can easily root for to man up and get the girl.

The gods do not look kindly on those who try and cheat their laws, therefore all their puppies will be born hermaphrodites

In this case though, it's a bit different-- Keith didn't lose Laura because of her lifespan, he lost her because of shitty social circumstances and war. Trace's wife was murdered and he wanted to resurrect her from the dead. Neither of these stories would be affected at all if you changed the lifespans of the Keidran-- hell Keith didn't even care that he'd missed out on Laura's best years, he was just upset over the fact that she broke his heart.

In the case of Flora's life span, the story has been moving at such a glacial pace that I doubt we're ever going to see her mortality come into play.

I have had many pets. When my childhood cat died after I had her for 18 years, it was the saddest I had ever been in my adult life, and I know when my current dog dies someday it's going to be just as hard due to the special bond I have with him. I have a hard time imagining many people knowingly opening themselves up to that kind of pain with an actual person who they know will only live about 20 years, especially if it's a spouse, when they can stick with humans and have something that can last longer.

The point is the same, trying to get around the Keidran lifespan is to try and get around death. Death is a natural part of life, while trying to prolong life beyond its time is unnatural and almost universally destructive.

To throw out Keidran lifespans would be to remove one of the only reoccurring moral of the comic, which is something like this "Cherish the life you have now, and don't cheapen it by trying to drag it out beyond its time"

>I have a hard time imagining many people knowingly opening themselves up to that kind of pain with an actual person who they know will only live about 20 years, especially if it's a spouse, when they can stick with humans and have something that can last longer.

Okay let me put it to you another way, there are people in real life who live a real long time but also have never actually experienced life and there are people who die young who in their short time lived life more than most other people.

It's not how long we experience something which gives it value but the substance of the experience itself which does. Some experiences are longer than others but that doesn't make them more valuable or shorter experiences less. What matters is the experience in and of itself. If you live in dread of the experience coming to an end, or harp on the fact its already ended than you've ruined it for yourself and aren't living.

Keidran living longer wouldn't be without consequence, though. Many humans would see it as a threat, because it's one thing for a race to breed like rabbits when they only have 20 years to live, but what guarantee do the humans have that they won't be rapidly out-bred by keidran when they can live as long as humans do? It would undoubtedly contribute to the saber rattling and calls for the keidran population to be forcibly kept low. The same mindset led to the Krogan genophage in Mass Effect, and ultimately the genophage made things worse.

If the Keidran start to live longer it doesn't mean that it would come for free. In a cruel twist of irony maybe it turns out that Trace's lifespan has been decreased due to his past meddling with black magic, and it's ultimately Flora who ends up burying Trace at the end of the story.

Especially considering their reproduction and the fact they mature faster than humans, either it'd be an ecological disaster for everyone (more Keidran means more needed resources) or humans wouldn't be able to compete as you pointed out

Or Trace needs to be put down, either way I don't doubt this story will end in heartbreak for somebody. There is hope though, Flora is pregnant meaning some part of Trace or Flora (if she dies first) will endure and life goes on with a pleasant reminder of the life from before and that there is a life ahead.

If Keidran do start living longer then I think the balancing factor will be that it takes longer for them to mature. Being able to mature faster already puts them at somewhat of an evolutionary advantage even though they have such short lifespans, a few keidran settlers can multiply into a large enclave in a very short amount of time. This is part of why Cro Magnon settlers quickly displaced the Neanderthals of Eurasia. If it takes as long for a Keidran to mature as a human then the two races would likely find some sort of balance with each other down the road.

That doesn't mean all humans would see it that way, though. They would still cling to the stereotype that Keidran are always horny and breeding, except now they live longer which makes some humans jump to the conclusion that Keidran will soon be having families with dozens of children, without even wanting to give them a chance.

>I don't doubt this story will end in heartbreak for somebody. There is hope though, Flora is pregnant meaning some part of Trace or Flora (if she dies first) will endure and life goes on with a pleasant reminder of the life from before and that there is a life ahead.

I do think that ultimately this is where the story is going to end up. Trace having to bury Flora because he outlived her is a bit too obvious. Him dying but seeing the child first would give him happiness in knowing that he brought something good into the world, even if he won't be alive to appreciate it.

The real beneficiary of Keidran living longer in this scenario would be Keith. He's spent his whole life being dumped on, and he loves Natani while accepting the risks. Keith has earned a happy ending and a long, full life with Natani, and he never even asked for it.

The Fates/Gods/Those Mask things already have been shown to interfere in order to maintain balance, they prevented humans and keidran from interbreeding, wouldn't it be a kicker if they are also responsible for Keidrans short life-span and Basitins relative rigidity (which is a determent as they must be slower to adapt to change) all in an endless game of chess with eachother they keep trying to win but end up always at a stalemate.

I think the real solution here is kill the gods!

The gods in Twokinds are basically pagan gods. The omnipotent aristocracy who see mortals as their game pieces in a never ending struggle to gain full control of the board, rarely giving out blessings unless there's something in it for their own gain.

as far as I know they're only not supposed to be together at night going off what keith's mom said when alabaster murdered her
also maybe there are paternal/maternal leave-esque rules following the birth of the child that allows them to remain together for a time while they recuperate n such
