Everyone here's talking about expecting tigers, and I'm just squealing over the fact that Sera is back, and looking cute as heck.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
Sera doesn't even look like the same character anymore. Where did all that hair come from? Where did her thick yellow eyebrows go? I guess it'll get played off as an expression of her magic, but that doesn't really cut it for me when she's kept all of her dragon parts. Feels more like Tom suddenly got her mixed up with Wrinry.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
Some of Seraphina's dragon parts were tranformation, some were costume. (And some of her apparent abilities - fire and flying, specifically - were disrupted when her pendant was broken.) Could be that some were illusion. She wouldn't necessarily get all the costume parts back (and her shirt was wrecked) and the magic suppressor probably would disrupt the illusions, but that leaves the transformation.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
They said she flew off after she broke out though. So clearly the magic suppressor didn't disrupt her flying.Warrl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 5:18 pm Some of Seraphina's dragon parts were tranformation, some were costume.

She's not missing any of her dragon parts; none of that was costume. We see dragon leg kicking the bars in panel 2. Panel 3 we see tail, arms, scales along her neck and cheek, sharp teeth and horns. Yeah, we understandably see new clothes since her other ones were wrecked. Given that we see her breathing a tiny puff of fire I don't think she has a magic suppressor on her. (Correcting myself; comic does claim there was a magic suppressor at least. Might have been only in the cell though)Warrl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 5:18 pm Some of Seraphina's dragon parts were tranformation, some were costume.

The only physical difference (I'm not counting fire wings, as those only came out during a fight) we see is related to her hair, such feels like it would have been the least likely part to be a form of magic and more likely a result of Tom drawing her with long hair in Patreon sketches to make her look more appealing and then forgetting that she’s supposed to have a mohawk in current comic time.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
To be fair... it has been 8 years since she last showed up in the comic. Buuuut I'm also a sucker for her, so I'm also probably a little too willing to see past issues.

Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
Ah Sera. To be fair i did not expected to see her ever again, nor Sealeen or Landen for that matter. On one hand they can provide some levity as the story team rocket, on the other i prefer them as one offs...
Regarding Sera tom said on stream he preferred this hairstyle for her. Excuse is that she was wearing a skullcap that got confiscated with the rest of her armor.
And yes common theory is that hybrids are currently possible thanks to Ephemural meddling however given most Keidran are not fertile all year round it may take a while for "surprise" pregnancies to start pooping. But i do hope we get the side sketches of therie as canon in the future, that little side story meshed well with the themes of the comic.

I heard someone say that on discord.Eclipse wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 2:56 amIDK, I don't follow Tom. Did you see him confirm that? If so, please share with the class!Hulk10 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:33 amDidn't Tom confirm that Dahlia is just heavy.Eclipse wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 11:32 pmYeah, I don't think Dahlia is pregnant, I think she's just heavier because of her affluence in the Tiger Keidran tribe.tony1695 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 11:13 pmPeople are assuming that the Matriarch is also pregnant, going off how big her belly is. Never mind that Tiger Keidran see big and chunky as a sign of affluence and power (or was it just being physically attractive), so it could just be that.
Also, we cant even be sure that Therie can get pregnant, that would depend on how recently she had her last, ahem, heat.
It's all speculation with Therie, but the way this comic is I could see Daniels and Therie's "diplomatic meeting" putting a baby hybrid in Therie's belly.

So, now Sarah is doing a very passable River Song impersonation, except possibly for some time travelling. Mind you, River's ability to fly is much more limited, so I guess it evens out. I could definitely see Sarah getting a heavily armoured supremely racist warrior to retreat as well.

How many jails has Sera "napped" in that she can compare this as one of the nicer?

While I'm very glad to see Sera again, I must say I prefer her original design with the orange mohawk.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
As she is the "wild one" Party Girl of the Trio and impetuous in her powers, I think that she has seen more than a few one over the years.AmigaDragon wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 3:24 pm How many jails has Sera "napped" in that she can compare this as one of the nicer?
But it is interesting that a magic supressor seems not to work on her. But at last she is not awearing anyone direct on her. So there should have been one in the cell.
It would be fun if she had said: "I give you a 4 of 5 star rating for the comfortable jail cell."

Look closely, and you'll see the shackle on her right arm as she stretches. I'd bet that's it.

Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
This looks more than the broken end of a wall chain to me. If I remember right all magic supressors I've seen here were necklaces. There are also no runes on this one like on the others we had seen until now.
Re: Comic for August 13, 2022: Off-Duty Accounts
You may be thinking of the slave collars? They have visible runes on the outside.
Raine's magic suppressing shackle was worn on the wrist, and had the runes on the inside of the band.
