...Anyway, Natani, why can't you just simply say that the ‘Heart’s Desire’ spell may have betrayed Keith's feelings for you? Even if he doesn't realize it he feels that he needs her to not only fill the void in his heart, but also to help him move on. This is a major point here. I mentioned this wh...

Natani is -really- looking good in his/her new outfit! And Keith, especially in the second panel, is looking like I've never seen him - genuinely vulnerable , even a little scared. Putting the guessing about what happens next aside, Keith is in a fragile state right now and he knows it. For once, h...

...In the "Revised Character Page" thread... I apparently missed that thread, even after looking for one. My eyesight must be failing me. Tom mentioned that the wording changes to Nat's bio come primarily from a 'no spoilers' perspective, rather than any particular word-of-god on Nat's pr...

Well, with the new updates to the "Characters" page, it looks like Natani is officially a male, as in no more ambiguity of any kind. My guess is that, after telling Mike about her being transformed into a female by Basitin black magic, and Mike's own experience along those lines, Mike deci...

I've always thought that the races in Two Kinds were more about exploring different types of existing human societies. In the original Star Trek series, they made a lot of analogies where the Federation was the U.S., The Kilingons were the Soviet Union, and the Romulans were the Chinese. I don't thi...

Natani had to tell Keith - in front of everyone, no less - how much she needed him. And then through the intervention of Laura, she suddenly saw how much she meant to Keith, and perhaps even more important, that if she didn't do something to confirm all these feelings, Keith might actually die. What...

What immediately comes back to me is the very moving scene where Laura, whatever she was, obviously revealed to Natani that Keith was very deeply connected with her - something that neither Keith nor Natani had seriously expressed, or probably even thought about, until then. http://my.ohio.voyager.n...

Well, lucky thing Sythe befriended that squirrel. I look for him to save Sythe by gnawing through the rope, and saving him in a sort of "Androcles and the Lion" type fashion.

I have no idea if Tom knows of it or not, but there are precedents in literature for females with tails having this kind of "modesty reaction" panic scene. I can think of at least two - Hersent the she-wolf in the epic Reynard the Fox , and Sharp-Ears in Rudolf Tesnohlidek's The Cunning L...

Well, jeeze, she used it on him first. Smacking him with it like it was a weapon. I suppose she might not have realized he might grab it, hence her surprised reaction. I have no idea if Tom knows of it or not, but there are precedents in literature for females with tails having this kind of "mo...

We have all the details, so there really isn't anything to argue. As far as pronouns, that's up to whoever is using them and how they think they should apply to the situation. Just to be contentious and start something, I'll throw this out: - Natani is physically a female. - Being physically a femal...

No, you aren't the only one. Personal preference, I suppose, given the state of her damaged soul. I call Natani a girl because she calls herself a girl when she is being candid with herself, her brother, Keith or anyone who knows her real history. Keith calls her a girl as well several times, to her...

Well, her her defense, she sequestered herself, tried to lock the door, and sent Keith away initially. I imagine as it wore on, it became more difficult to manage. True. She knew what was coming and did what she could. Obviously she impressed her true intentions on Keith. ...And she never did reach...

Additionally, you'll note that the first time Keith admitted that he felt an attraction to Natani was when she had to deal with estrus on the ship. Rather than giving in, Natani resisted; showing her strength. Strength, of body and of will, is the most appealing characteristic to a Basitin. Natani ...

There are very few comics (or stories or films) that have much of an effect on me to the degree Two Kinds does, and when that happens, I try to find out what it is that has gotten me wrapped up in it to such a degree. Some people have mentioned the anthropomorphic animal characters. To some people -...
